The three-storey building with masonry structure is somewhat dilapidated and outdated. It is in the style of three centuries ago. The steps that have been washed very clean still have the smell of time. Above the decorative murals are the ancestors of the Lan Kingdom. Heroic deeds, while the worn fresco still smells of paint, the result of a recent refurbishment.
In front of the small building, under the pine trees, is a flat garden and open space.
Rusty brass railings blocked this small world, and there were still some grass and greenery in the flowerbed, but at this time, only some dead grass and branches were left.
"Back then, I practiced swords under this tree..."
This is the quiet corner of the imperial palace of the Principality of Donglan, and it was also the residence of me and a certain idiot back then.
When I was confirmed to be alive, Sister Kelly opened up the dusty little yard, had it refinished and cleaned, and moved in new furniture, which was still being rebuilt when I returned to Northland eight years ago. He didn't tell me that this time, when I came back, Kelly, the housekeeper of the palace, put me directly back to this yard, which gave me a surprise.
The small building is the same as the old one, the garden is the same as the old one, and even on the iron railings, there are scratches from when the teenagers compared their heights... After all, they are twins, does that make more sense
The memory of the past seems to be just yesterday. Looking at the scene that is almost the same as the memory, is this the feeling of home? But the empty old scene made me feel a little lonely and a little sad.
I can't remember what my parents looked like, and I can't remember the courses of the year, but these rusty and scattered memories have survived because they are not important. Should I be lucky
"It's kind of annoying..."
"Crack."
The rusty railing was opened, and the metallic sound interrupted my thoughts. When I looked over, it was the current owner of the palace, Her Royal Highness Renee.
"You, you, you, you... Who? Brother Roland?"
I was stunned for a moment, then immediately woke up, and quickly adjusted the time accessories, and adjusted the age of the body to about twenty years old.
"Oh, it's a little toy made by Margaret, which can adjust the physical age."
The perfect true lie, although it is all true, but with the action and expression, it makes people think that I mean that I have become a child through this jewelry.
Renee nodded slowly, but a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if she had seen through everything. Damn, I forgot, these ape-like creatures use their muscles to think and use intuition to distinguish the truth from the false.
"Oh, what is that, I seem to have an impression... Fruit of Dusk?"
Although it is an interrogative sentence, it has a positive tone. After all, this fruit that looks like a ghost face and skeleton is too shabby. Although the taste is okay, I feel awkward every time I eat it... I can feel the designer. It's full of malice, and it's probably Amyra's masterpiece.
I have some regrets. I have told the guards not to let other people in, so I can eat fruit here and adapt to the new body, but I have not considered how the guards of the palace can expel the master of the palace. I save.
Well, at this point, what I'm doing by myself hiding here has almost leaked out.
Yes, I avoided taking height-enhancing medicines... The fruit of age, and the effect of increasing age is not something that can be accomplished in one breath.
Every time I eat one, it will take me a while to adapt to the changes in the body, to avoid the changes in the body being too drastic and causing the soul and the body to not fit together, and to avoid eating too much Yangshou in one go and become the magical version of Urashima Taro. It took me half a month to eat ten, and I gained fifty years... But to be honest, I'm already desperate for this bloodline. When I look in the mirror, I probably feel that I have gone from the fourth grade of elementary school to the second half of the fourth grade of elementary school. , still far from graduating from elementary school.
But these fruits have really played a role. I can feel that my limbs are stronger than before, and my mind seems to be a lot clearer. If I use the system to explain it, I have at least obtained "strength +1" at the age of 50. ", "Intelligence +1" effect, this is a real and substantial increase.
And every time I asked how old the bloodline of the damn system was, the guy would always change the subject or act stupid, which made me even more uneasy.
In a sense, the world is still a little fair. The stronger the bloodline, the more difficult it is to reproduce, and the more time it takes to polish and mature. Dragons, Titans, and giants are the most typical examples, and elves are also one or two hundred years old. He is only an adult, and the golden elves of the golden bloodline are more than a thousand years old... I feel more and more that the moon elves were assholes, and actually bullied a little girl whose father died when she was not a child.
The silver bloodline is one or two hundred, the gold bloodline is more than a thousand, and the diamond bloodline... To evaluate the bloodline of a double diamond, in theory, it is normal to exceed ten thousand.
"Honorable goddess, if you really need to exceed ten thousand to become an adult, believe it or not, I will perish with you! What did you think at the beginning!"
[Tsk, at this time, the blame is on me, who was craving the strongest bloodline everywhere back then? I kindly joined myself and Cynthia's blood, and you should be grateful.]
I didn't feel happy about these words. Instead, I became more and more desperate. I knew that this situation was wrong. The evaluation of this pair of diamonds was made by the goddess at will. The bloodline of the goddess of creation? Wouldn't this be 100,000 years of adulthood, so even if the bloodline is strong, what's the point
"...Let's not talk about the strength bonus in adulthood. I've been a bachelor for more than 300 years. You don't plan to really cheat me for tens of thousands of years."
[… Probably not, Cynthia and I were adults when we were born, and I didn’t expect to make you what you are now…]
It is rare to see a guilty conscience in the system's words, and it seems to have revealed some secrets. It turns out that I became like this, not because she deliberately tricked me, but an unexpected accident, but I really can't be happy. Out of control, the system has been completely unpredictable.
I was getting more and more unhappy, but what was surprising was that the system actually voluntarily surrendered.
[Don't do this, in fact, I can compensate you, weren't you looking for Niang Wuquan before? I can give you one.]
"You can do this too? Wait a minute, I'm not looking for Niang Yuquan, it's Chloe who's looking for Men Yuquan."
[It's all the same, in the words of that world, it's just modifying the constants of an individual's attribute data, it's very simple, but if you do something for me, I'll give you the task reward... the reward.]
"What?"
I was a little surprised, the system took the initiative to give me tasks, this was the first time, I could feel the anxiety in her words, what made her the Goddess of Creation so nervous, could it be that the next task for me is to challenge the abyss Lord God? Or poaching the Taikoo Dragon King
[You help me pour Niangwuquan on your subordinate! I can sense that those elves and beasts are breeding terrifying creatures. The world is already chaotic enough, and there must be no more strange creatures! Absolutely not! Why is there such a bastard in the world, I can't stand it! This guy is definitely not my creation!]
I was stunned. That guy was so incredible that he could make the Goddess of Creation scream so hysterically. It seems that his descendants are creatures that challenge common sense and normal aesthetics.
At that time, two magic bottles suddenly fell out of the air, one blue and one red, and even the quest items and rewards were given in advance. This is not like that careful system. It seems that she was really caught in the disaster list. The leader was stunned.
Use the mother's drowning spring for Beifeng? Just thinking about that scene is so beautiful.
And why do I think he was changed by Niang Yuquan, the system will still fail, and the final result will definitely still be blind... But it's always right to try, anyway, it's not me who is unlucky.
As for rejection? I've been thinking about it, but I can't find a reason to refuse it. What a fun and lively thing... Cough, I mean to do things for the heavens, maybe I can be placed on the list of natural disasters because of this.
"Brother Roland, are you practicing your sword skills?"
Renee's words brought back my sanity, but made me take a careful look at the red and blue bottles in the space bag again. If these two bottles are broken, I'm afraid there will be a lot of fun.
Renee's question was still in my ear, and I nodded directly. This man was standing in the open space with half his arms shirtless. There is no explanation other than practicing swordsmanship. Can I explain that he is afraid of accidentally transforming into a violent man? Clothes
I nodded, but Renee was beaming.
"Then, Brother Roland, let me practice with you. My progress over the years is not small."
I looked around, smiled, nodded and said...
"I refuse. I don't want to fight with a fool who can't fully control the power. Once the power leaks, this yard will be destroyed. This place is very important to me..."
There is no need to say the second half of the words, I just refused without hesitation, and looked at Renee who did not hesitate to hide my disappointment, but I was a little happy.
"...By the way, Brother Roland, I heard that you want to resurrect Ansuna?"
That's why she came to find me. I nodded. Now that I've started preparations, the city is already full of storms.
"That... I heard that only natural undead can be resurrected?"
Renee's eyes were full of anticipation, as if she wanted to get a different answer from me, I frowned, I almost knew the purpose of her coming here.
"You want to resurrect your family?"
"… Um."
"I can't do it, no existence can."
After a few minutes, watching Renee's back, full of frustration and disappointment, I became even more frightened.
I didn't lie, but I didn't tell the whole truth. At least the limitation of the natural undead was nonsense, and my resurrection ability was far stronger than it appeared.
Renee's will is strong enough, but even she can't stand the temptation to resurrect her relatives. If I say that I can resurrect an individual who died in a short period of time, then the whole world will go crazy. There are countless powerful people whose relatives have just died and are about to die. , the king, will come to trouble me.
"...Fortunately, we prepared in advance, but we still have to be prepared for trouble."
Even if I say the limitations of resurrection, there will always be people who will see through the illusion, or have the expectation of "resurrection in case", as long as there are ten such transcenders, their methods will definitely be fierce, my trouble Still not small.
"Then, let's make this resurrection bigger, so big that most people can't afford this reward..."
