"No—teacher—" Dumb sat up abruptly, and he clearly felt the tears on his face. Gradually regaining consciousness, he found that he was still in the stone room, his whole body convulsing slightly.
"The teacher is dead, the teacher is already dead." Duan murmured, and he took out the steamed bun wrapped in silver tin from his arms, "Teacher, do you like to watch me eat steamed buns? Okay, I will eat it for you." You see." With a forceful break, he split the steamed bun that had been kept in half. Although it was wrapped in silver tin, the steamed buns were not corrupted, but they became extremely hard. As if he didn't know the changes in the steamed buns, Dumb gently pushed aside the silver tin on the steamed buns, put it into his mouth, and chewed vigorously. The dry steamed buns made Ah-Dai's breathing gradually difficult, and he swallowed desperately. Because of too much force, his gums had been scratched by the hard steamed buns, and he swallowed the salty taste together with the dry and hard steamed buns.
"Teacher, I have finished eating. Look, I have finished eating the gift you bought for me. I like eating so much! Teacher, please look at me again, I miss you so much, teacher, I really miss you so much Ignoring the blood in his mouth, Ah-Dai wept bitterly, until his mind fell into a coma again, and the voice full of deep grief in the stone room stopped. But that faint sadness could not dissipate for a long time.
…
I don't know how long it took, Duan's body moved slightly, he slowly opened his dull eyes, and sat up dully, the white paper left by Corris was scattered on the ground full of folds, He moved them slowly to his side, rearranged them according to the numbers on the footer of the white paper, and carefully stacked them together.
Picking up the blank paper, Duan looked at it blankly, "Dai, with your kind heart and attachment to me, I know that my death must have hit you hard. But, you should already be a man, you must be strong Come to think of it, the teacher doesn’t like cowardly people. The teacher is willing to die for his own wish. This is the teacher’s own choice. Even if you are still by my side and have not left, this choice will not change. I still remember when I was in In the small town of Nino? Our meeting can only be described by chance. You stole my money bag. You may not understand why I got out of the money bag at that time. Tell you, the money The bag is a work I am very satisfied with. As long as the money bag is within ten kilometers around me, I can find it with the magic circle on it and use a spell to appear in the money bag. When I saw you for the first time , I only have disgust in my heart. Your dirty appearance made me want to end your life at that time. However, at that time, I suddenly remembered my last wish, so I checked your body briefly, and was surprised to find that although Your body is very weak, but your own quality is very good, and it is most suitable to be my cauldron. So, I took you away from your career as a thief, and gave you my carefully refined elixir. Son , In fact, the teacher is not a good person, when I took you away, I didn't have any good intentions at all, I was going to destroy your life!"
Seeing that the first page was exhausted here, Duan’s daze gradually disappeared, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. He quickly opened the second page of letter paper and continued to read, “Later, when we left Nino City, when we were on the boat, I started to prepare for the future, so I taught you the most basic fireball technique. What I didn't expect was that you look so stupid, but you are so talented. In such a short period of time, you can actually summon magical energy Do you still remember the pirates I met on the ship? The pirate leader is very powerful, and even I am not sure that I can beat him. With my heart, if I am not concerned about my own safety, I will not rescue him. As for the people on the ship, when I was in a stalemate with the pirate leader, you used the fireball technique you just learned to scare him away and relieved my embarrassment. It was from then on that your kindness began to gradually grow Changed me. Later, we returned to the psychedelic forest. I was not good to you, but no matter how I asked you, you never complained and kept working hard. Your kindness penetrated into me bit by bit In my heart. When I came back for a few months, I left to find herbs. During the time I was away, as long as I calmed down, you would appear in my mind. I don’t know why, you are so simple and honest. His face made me feel so kind. Do you remember the notes I gave you? There is no last page, right? That’s because the last page records the method I found to refine the artifact. Maybe I’m not a powerful However, on the mainland, I am afraid that no one can compare to my alchemy. I think you have now understood what my wish is, yes, no matter which alchemist has this same wish - Refining my own artifact. For this wish, I have worked hard for decades! Countless experiments have finally allowed me to gradually touch the method of refining artifacts. Before I met you, I had already used The method in an ancient book calculates that on the day of April 989 in the sacred calendar, the evil will be at its peak. At that time, it will also be the day when I refine the artifact. The method of refining the artifact is very complicated. The main reason why it is so powerful is that it has a soul, yes, a soul. Therefore, at the last moment of refining, I must have a living person as the cauldron, and turn this virgin body through nine rounds. Put the body cultivated by Yi Suiwan into the artifact, sacrifice his life for the final fusion process, and fulfill my final wish. And when I saw you in Nino City, I had already chosen you. Dumb , isn’t the teacher very evil?”
At the end of the second page, Dumb was completely sluggish. Teacher Corris actually wanted to kill himself, no, no, the teacher was joking with himself, yes, it must be a joke. He couldn't wait to turn to the third page and continue reading.
"Dumb, what the teacher said is the truth, hey, do you hate the teacher? I know you won't, you are a good boy, you are so kind, even though you have suffered so much in Nino City, I I didn’t realize that there was any hatred in your heart. I paid too much for refining the artifact. Originally, nothing could stop me from fulfilling this last wish, but you changed me. When I returned to the land of psychedelic When Sen saw you, he suddenly felt that you seemed to be my relatives, especially when I saw that you were reluctant to eat all the steamed buns I gave you, and kept one, which was carefully preserved in silver tin At that time, my heart trembled. How could I let such a kind child like you become a victim of my wish? Because of the conflict between heaven and man in my heart, I decided to leave again, because, the more I get along with you, the more I feel It is difficult to strengthen my confidence in refining artifacts. I lied to you this time. I was not looking for something, I was running away. But sometimes, running away is not the way to go. Your position in my heart is so important. When I stepped into the land of the psychedelic forest again, I couldn’t be cruel enough to hurt you. At that time, I had already decided that even if I gave up refining artifacts, I couldn’t make you my victim. However, all of this has already happened It's too late. When I come back here, everything is different. You are gone, and you are taken away by Hades, who is much more evil than me. No matter how loud I call your name, you can't hear it I can’t come back to me anymore. I have read the letter you left me, many times. Although your letter is very short, I can clearly feel your attachment to me. At that moment , how much I want to tell you, Dumb, as long as you come back and come back to my teacher, the teacher will definitely teach you magic and alchemy, and the teacher will not use you for experiments. But, it is too late, you have already left , I don’t know when I will come back again. Do you know? Because of your departure, the teacher cried. It was the first time in fifty years that I cried. At that time, I suddenly felt that you were like my own. Just like the child, your departure also took away the heart of the teacher, Dumb, my child! Don’t resent the teacher, the teacher knows that he was wrong.” So far, the end of the third page.
Duan burst into tears, and he shouted loudly, "Teacher, I don't blame you, I really don't blame you, teacher, you will always be my teacher! Teacher Corris, I love you, I love you ! As long as you can survive, even if I sacrifice my life to make a cauldron to help you refine artifacts, I am willing." He fell to the ground in pain, and his previous doubts were all resolved by the third page of letter paper. Who was he before, what did he do before, but now, Duan only knows that Corris treats himself sincerely, and treats himself sincerely. Great grief filled Dumb's heart, and he wept excitedly, regaining the grief he had when he first learned of Corris' death.
After a long time, Duan's mood gradually calmed down. The intense grief in his heart made his face as white as the paper in his hand, trembling slightly, he turned to the fourth page, "Dai, since we were together, your respect for the teacher There is so much concern and attachment, but the teacher gave you too little before. When I wrote this letter, I have already decided that my wish still needs to be fulfilled, and the artifact still needs to be refined and made into a cauldron. The person must have eaten my Jiuzhuan Yisui Wan. Although you are gone, there is still one person here who has eaten Jiuzhuan Yisui Wan. That is me. I am not afraid of your jokes, although the teacher has lived for more than 80 years I am still a virgin, but I have already decided that I will use my life to fulfill my wish. Son, this will be the last thing the teacher will give you. The teacher firmly believes that after so many years of hard work, I will be able to Forge an infinitely powerful artifact, and you will become the owner of this artifact. Child, how exciting it is to own an artifact! Are you happy?"
"No, I'm not happy, I don't want a magic weapon, I just want you, Teacher Corris, no!" Duan's mood that had just calmed down became excited again, as if he saw Corris walking towards the scorching furnace step by step with a smile on his face, and I can't stop myself. Yes, the fact has been cast, and it can never be changed. He continued to look through tears. The handwriting on the back is slightly different from the front, and it seems that they were not written on the same day.
It's not far, because the teacher doesn't know how powerful this artifact can exert, so you can find out by yourself. After writing this letter, the teacher is really excited, how much I want to see you wearing the magic weapon! It's a pity, I can't see it anymore, child, promise teacher, you must protect this artifact, because there is the soul of the teacher on it, and the teacher will live on the artifact forever to protect you. Farewell, let me find my apprentice again. — Corris. "
After reading the letter, Ah-Dai had no interest in the artifact. In his heart, there was only endless yearning for Corris. With a bang, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Ah-Dai collapsed to the ground, his mind gradually blurred, and darkness fell again.
Whenever Ah-Dai wakes up, he will repeatedly look at the letter Corris left him, and after reading the letter, he will fall into a coma because of grief. This state lasted for three days, even if he was angry It has reached the realm close to the ninth level, but it is still unbearable.
Duan woke up weakly again, bursts of tingling pain came from the bottom of his heart continuously, he opened Corris' letter subconsciously and just wanted to repeat the previous process again, but accidentally saw the blood on his chest, he took a deep breath Tone, the numb mind gradually regained consciousness, no, I can't go on like this. Teacher Corris said, I have to cheer up, I have to cheer up, and I have to protect the artifact he left me, yes, the artifact. He carefully folded the first four pages of letter paper, put them back into the wooden box, and picked up the last page of letter paper. According to the instructions on the letter paper, Ah-Dai stood up while supporting the stone table, and lightly pressed down on the circular protrusion in the center of the table. The protrusion sank for a second and then rebounded, revealing a column about one foot high. Grab the cylinder, turn it three times to the left, three times to the right, and press the much longer protrusion back down again.
Zaza's voice sounded, and Ah-Dai was surprised to find that the wall in front of him trembled slightly, as if the mechanism had been activated. Sure enough, the entire wall was slowly raised under the action of the mechanism, revealing an area of several hundred square meters inside. This is the real laboratory of Corris!
The first thing Dumb saw was the huge tripod in the center of the laboratory, which was two meters high and more than three meters in diameter. The tripod had three legs, and various complicated patterns were carved on the tripod. The last page left by Corlis clearly stated that the artifact he refined was in this cauldron. There are many exquisite objects hanging on the walls around the laboratory, all of which were refined by Corlis himself. On a strip table at the side, there are more than a dozen porcelain bottles and three wooden boxes, which are Corlis Refined various elixir.
Dumb walked towards the giant cauldron in the center step by step. With his height, he still couldn't see the situation in the cauldron. Taking a deep breath, Dumb urged the floating body in his body to fly up and landed on the edge of the giant cauldron. The giant cauldron was filled with dark brown viscous liquid, even after seven years, there was still no sign of drying up. Dui picked up the long pole next to the tripod and stirred it in the viscous liquid according to the instructions in the letter. When he stirred it to the center of the giant tripod, he found that he had touched a hard object. He used the thin hook on the long pole to test it out. After a few strokes, he hooked the thing and picked it up carefully.
When the long pole left the viscous liquid, Ah-Dai could see clearly that it was a black-gray object, which looked like an iron cylinder, and the viscous brown liquid was not even stained on it, and a layer of faint coldness flowed from the iron cylinder. It seeps out from the cylinder, and under the illumination of another larger night pearl in the laboratory, it reflects the luster of metal.
Duan knew that this iron cylinder was an artifact made by Corris with his life. He retracted the long pole, brought the iron cylinder in front of him, and gently took it off. As soon as the iron cylinder was in his hands, Ah-Dai suddenly felt an unusually friendly energy flowing into his body from the iron cylinder. Tears that had dried up reappeared, and Ah-Dai gently stroked the only pattern on the iron cylinder, and murmured: "Mr. Corris, are you calling me? Teacher, why are you doing this?" With a sigh, Ah-Dai He bit his right middle finger and dropped a drop of blood on the iron cylinder. The blood seeped in immediately when it touched the iron cylinder, and Ah-Dai felt a shock in his hand, the iron cylinder suddenly emitted a black light, trembling slightly, the familiar kind energy suddenly restrained, and flowed back into the iron cylinder, just in time When Ah-Dai was surprised, the iron cylinder suddenly lost its shape and turned into a mass of soft liquid, which lightly penetrated into the giant spirit snake armor on Ah-Dai's right hand, and disappeared with a soft ding. At the same time as the iron cylinder disappeared, Ah-Dai clearly felt that the kind energy from before suddenly burst out, carrying incomparable warmth, spreading all over his body in an instant, nourishing every part of his body, and the pain in his heart had a huge impact on his body. The damage caused seemed to have been healed by this warm energy in an instant, and the feeling of flesh and blood came from Dumb's right forearm. He seemed to feel the existence of Corris again, and rolled up the giant spirit snake armor on his arm with tears in his eyes, exposing the skin inside. Dumb found that the black-gray iron cylinder had completely integrated into his skin, right A section of skin on the forearm that was nearly 20 centimeters turned black, and the faint brilliance flowed softly, and the kind feeling made all the pain in Ah-Dai's heart completely disappear.
"Mr. Corris, you, have you become this wristband? Yes, it must be so. Although your person is dead, your soul will always live in this wristband. We are married We have become one, teacher, we will never be separated. Since this wristband has been your wish for decades, I will name it Corris Wish. I will always carry your soul and your wish, Teacher, don't be sad, dumb, because you will always be with me, and in my heart, you will always be alive."
The light of Corris' wish flashed, and the warm energy increased a bit, as if it was responding to Dumb.
Dumb said happily: "Teacher, are you satisfied with this name? Corris' wish, you will always be my protector."
The great human alchemist Corris finally refined the first low-level artifact of mankind with his own soul, which was named by his disciple Dumb—Corris' Wish.
Dui jumped down from the giant cauldron, all his mind was focused on Corris' wish on his right wrist. Looking at the black lines, he seemed to see the wrinkles on Corris' face again. He was full of grief and finally found a trace of comfort. He sat on the ground, leaning against the giant cauldron, stroking the wish of Corris in his hand, wrapped in warm energy, and finally fell asleep physically and mentally for the first time after returning to the illusion forest. This timely sleep The protection of Corris' Wish finally relieved his inner fatigue and pulled him back from the brink of madness.
Obtaining the wish of Corris, Duan's spirit had sustenance, and when he woke up the next morning, he felt that he had returned to his previous appearance, stretched his muscles and bones, and felt a strong sense of hunger, ah! It seems that I haven't eaten for a long time. Dumb raised his right hand and took a deep look at Corris' wish on his arm. Although the warm feeling had weakened a lot, he could still feel the kind energy.
Ah-Dai walked to the table where the pills were placed. There were labels on the dozens of bottles of pills on it. After looking around, he found that they were almost all poisons, all kinds of poisons. He shook his head helplessly. , stretched out his hand to open one of the three wooden boxes, and what was in it was astonishingly the notes Corris had shown him back then. Dumb tremblingly held the notes in his hand, flipping through them page by page, the familiar font And the content aroused his emotions again. When he turned to the last page, he found an extra piece of paper, which read: Dumb, my child, let this artifact disappear with me . Dumb hugged the note tightly in his arms, and murmured: "Teacher, you often say I'm stupid, but aren't you also stupid? In order to refine an artifact, you even gave up your own life, Don't worry, I will love Corlis' wish as much as I love my own life." As he spoke, he opened the other two boxes, which contained Corlis's magic notes and the words on the wall. How to use those hanging items. Looking at these things left by Corris, Dumb couldn't help being a little crazy.
After a long time, the strong sense of hunger woke Ah-Dai from his obsession. He carefully put the three notebooks back to their original positions and rubbed his stomach. Ah-Dai decided to eat something first. He took out the last page of the letter that Corlis had left for him, walked to the giant cauldron according to the method described above, squatted down, and got under the giant cauldron, where he found a protruding stone and held it down. The stone rotated three times to the left, and there was a rattling sound. Duan, who squatted really hard, felt his body moving, and a stone slab under his feet moved out with his body, towards the place where various utensils were hung. Rushing on the wall, just as Dumb was stupefied, a gap cracked on the wall. Driven by the stone slab, Dui rushed directly into the gap, and the surroundings fell into darkness. Duan clearly felt that, driven by the stone slab under his feet, , his body was constantly rising obliquely forward, and after a while, a ray of light suddenly came from above his head. Before he was fully ready, his body had already appeared in a mist. Duan was startled and angry Protecting his body under his deliberate urging, and looking around, Dumb was pleasantly surprised to find that he was actually in the fruit forest. Looking at the overturned stone slab beside him, he walked out. As soon as he left, the stone slab covered with shrubs had been slowly closed, and there was no more gap visible from the outside. Dumb, who was familiar with Corlis's notes, knew that this exit could never be opened from the outside.
The surrounding fruits are so familiar. Since no one has picked them for many years, they grow exceptionally moist. The huge fruits of various colors are in the eyes of Ah-Dai, making him think that he has returned to seven years ago. Ah-Dai picked a purple one next to him. Fruit, a fresh fragrance enters through the body, this is my favorite purple cloud fruit! Taking a bite, he sucked the sweet juice from the fruit, and a cool air flow passed into his body, which immediately lifted Ah-Dai's spirits. Looking at everything around him that was indifferent to the world, Duan secretly decided to keep his mourning for Corris here for a year, and then go to find people from the Killer Guild to avenge Owen. If there is really a thousand-year catastrophe on the mainland, then I will do my best. If there is no change in the mainland, I will return here to die. Thinking of this, Ah-Dai's mood suddenly brightened, and his figure fluttered in the fruit forest like a butterfly wearing flowers, and sweet fruits kept filling his hungry body.
Eleven months later, April ninety-seven in the sacred calendar. Holy See.
Xuanyue stretched her delicate body out of the Temple of Light. It has been two years since she received the baptism of God. In the past two years, she has made great progress. She has completely exceeded the expectations of the Pope. In just two years, she has already She has surpassed the level of the priest in white, no matter how difficult the spell or the magic that is difficult to control, she can learn it at a speed twice that of ordinary people. Especially in terms of magical power, it has been advancing rapidly. The current Xuanyue is no longer the Xuanyue who only has the ability of a junior magician and is supported by artifacts. Her sacred magic has entered the realm of a magician, which is not inferior to The priest in white clothes of the Holy See.
The bright sunshine fell on Xuanyue's pretty face, her beautiful face was full of sacred aura under the sunshine, like an awe-inspiring and inviolable saint, every movement was full of amazing beauty. Now she is taller than her mother, reaching about 1.75 meters, not inferior to ordinary men. Her long blue hair like a waterfall hangs behind her and hangs down to her knees. If she was still a beautiful woman three years ago The little girl who is now, has fully developed into a stunning beauty. Although she is wrapped in a large white goddess robe, her proud figure cannot be concealed. Xuan Yue stared directly at the dazzling sunlight without evasion, her body and mind were in a state of tranquility. In the past few days, her sacred magic seemed to have improved again. Except for those eighth-level magic that required too much magic power, I have basically learned the holy magic of the Holy See and the space magic kept in the blood of the phoenix.
"Hey, Yueyue, it's really you! Long time no see." A clear voice tinged with surprise woke Xuanyue from her tranquility. She turned slightly sideways and saw a tall young man. The young man was dressed in white clothes, the corners of the white skirts were hooked with gold thread, his shoulders were broad and his back was wide, and a long sword was hung on his waist. He was dressed in the standard attire of a judge of light from the Holy See. With a pleasant smile, he walked quickly towards Xuan Yue. The status of the Judge of Light in the Holy See Inquisition is second only to the Chief Judge and the Holy Inquisitor.
Xuan Yue frowned slightly, for a while, she didn't recognize this familiar face, and murmured: "Who are you! Why did you come to the Temple of Light? This is not where you people from the Trial Office should come. "Her voice was calm and composed, without any emotional fluctuations.
