Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 590: Sacrifice your right eye to get spring water
"I passed?"
Su Lun came back from his emotionally stripped state of indifference and felt the joy of passing the challenge.
Morey, the old giant opposite, smiled: "Yes. You already have the qualifications to glimpse the truth."
When Su Lun heard this, he recalled the problems in the previous test, and then realized that the Cyclops guardians had set up a test at the [Mimir Spring] not to prevent people from obtaining the spring water, but to guide them. Those who obtain the spring water understand what "wisdom" really is.
At this time, the old giant Morey spoke again: "[Mimir's Spring] is just a slightly sweet and delicious spring water for ordinary people. Only in the mouths of people with real wisdom, it has the meaning Contains the flavor of all the wisdom in the world."
"Yeah."
Su Lun could already understand the meaning of these words at this moment.
It's like the power of law is everywhere, but if you can't realize its existence, then it doesn't exist in your world.
The old giant smiled meaningfully and said: "Congratulations, you are the second adventurer in the past ten thousand years to complete the challenge of bravery and wisdom. The spring is on Mimir Peak in the center of our Giant Island, you can Go get it. Of course, if you bring human wine, the elders guarding the spring may not make it difficult for you."
Su Lun nodded and said respectfully: "Thank you, senior, for your guidance."
Su Lun walked out of the door, still thinking about the previous questions in his mind.
Even if he has passed the test, he still feels endless aftertaste when he thinks back to the few questions just now.
The two tests are a kind of harvest, as if the mind has been enlightened and a new world has suddenly opened up.
Su Lun walked out of the patriarch's house, and the Cyclops in the village looked at him again, with a more solemn look in their big eyes than before.
Because only outsiders can see it, Su Lun's body is shining with a milky white halo at this moment, which is the light of the soul's ascension. The definition of higher life is not only in bloodline inheritance, but also in soul level cognition.
Su Lun himself was completely unaware, his thoughts were still racing.
He nodded to the giants who looked at him kindly, and then headed towards the path behind the village to the peak in the center of the island.
Looking back, I saw that the battle between Mr. Black and the Cyclops on the beach outside the village was still fierce, and there was still no sign of a winner.
Su Lun didn't look any further and walked into the forest step by step.
I don’t know why, but everything on this giant island is huge.
Flowers more than ten meters high, trees a hundred meters high, and beetles the size of elephants
All living things appear to be very large.
What is a narrow path to a giant, but to a human like Suellen, is a wide road that can accommodate several carriages side by side.
He walked all the way over, enjoying the bird's eye view of the black crow in the sky.
After flying high enough, Su Lun suddenly whispered: "Hey, is this island the skull of an ancient creature?"
He then discovered that there was a horseshoe-shaped Giant Island on the chart, which looked more like an extremely huge skull.
The lower jaw part of the skull is under the sea surface, and only the upper eye sockets and the upper part of the skull look like a horseshoe shape.
Su Lun felt a little incredible.
But in the waters of Dragon Kingdom, nothing seems impossible.
As soon as his thoughts changed, he had already walked all the way through the virgin forest. Giant Island is not without danger. There are also some magical beasts in this large forest that can be used as "rations" by the Cyclops tribe.
Probably because the human in front of me didn’t have enough flesh to fill his teeth. Although those behemoths occasionally came to take a look out of curiosity, they didn’t come to hunt.
Su Lun also walked along the mountain road to the main peak which was not too high.
From a distance, he felt two powerful soul fluctuations.
"The two Cyclops guarding the spring are so strong"
Su Lun discerned the soul fluctuations, and found that the two souls hidden in the mountains were stronger than the clan leader Mo Lei before.
Fortunately, he was not an enemy, so he walked straight over and said loudly: "Two giants
The elder of the tribe, I, Su Lun, came here to seek the fountain of wisdom under the guidance of Chief Morey. ”
After hearing this, two human heads suddenly appeared on the other side of the mountain, with messy yellow teeth as thick as ivory.
When they saw Su Lun, they immediately started shouting.
"Oh, no humans have been here in years."
"Yes, Godot, a thousand years."
"Hey, human, did you bring any wine? If not, we will not let you get the spring water."
"Yes, I won't give it to you."
"."
Su Lun's expression was slightly interesting and strange.
Compared with other giants, these two don't look very smart.
Most people don’t carry things like drinks with them that take up storage space. Fortunately, there is a small void world in Sullun. Not only does it have sufficient reserves of fine wine, it even has a brewery.
Su Lun did not forget the reminder from the patriarch Morey. He took out dozens of wooden barrels and placed them on the ground and said, "Of course."
Two cyclops came over, picked up a barrel of rum weighing hundreds of kilograms, and poured it into their mouths.
This is "golden rum". In terms of taste and brewing process, it is already considered to be the first-class wine on the market.
Ka did not think that after the two giants drank more than a dozen barrels one by one, they were still not satisfied and muttered: "Oh, human beings, your wine is so bad, it makes me feel that it is not as good as the wine in the forest." The fruit wine made by monkeys is delicious."
Another one complained: "Yes. I remember that the human brought a very delicious food last time
Drinks. Oh, I miss that taste so much~"
Su Lun's eyes were filled with black threads.
I watched helplessly as these two giants poured dozens of barrels of golden rum into their stomachs while saying it tasted bad.
Looking at the looks they cast, Su Lun produced dozens of tons of various fine wines from the small void world.
However, as he took it out, the two giants also drank it.
They still complained about how bad it tasted and how bad the wine was.
No matter how precious some drinks were, they were not worth much, so Su Lun didn't feel bad.
But seeing that the two giants didn't mention anything about asking him to get the spring water, he started to think about it.
The two of them had already drank several thousand kilograms of fine wine in a short period of time. Looking at their posture, no matter how much wine they drank, they would probably keep drinking it.
And the two giants mentioned a key tip: the wine the human brought last time.
"Did Sir Isaac give them [Poetry Mead] to drink?"
Su Lun suddenly thought of something in his mind.
The person who once signed an alliance with the Daru Tribe was Sir Isaac. He had been to the Emerald Holy Land, and it was reasonable for him to have [Shixian Mead].
Su Lun does have some in his hand, but it is a rare spiritual wine that can make people enlighten.
It really hurts to pour it all in like this.
But these two giants have such tricky tastes that no matter how much ordinary wine they are offered now, they probably won't be satisfied.
Thinking about Mimir's Fountain again, Su Lun took out two large jars, containing hundreds of kilograms of [Shixian Mead].
However, as soon as the jar was taken out, the two giants immediately smelled the smell, and their expressions immediately lit up.
Without being picky or complaining, the two giants each grabbed a jar, took a big gulp, and then showed expressions of great enjoyment.
“Yes, that’s what it tastes like!”
“Oh my God, I didn’t expect that I could drink this wine!”
Su Lun watched several hundred kilograms of the priceless Shixian Mead drink it down, feeling a little sore no matter what.
But fortunately, Jutta is now the archdruid of the Daru tribe. It won’t be a big problem to add more points the next time he goes there.
Just after these two drinks, the two giants who had just drank hundreds of tons of wine actually had a drunken blush on their faces.
They were burping with wine, their eyes were gradually blurred, and they were muttering: "Oh, this wine tastes so beautiful. There are many sheep floating in the sky. The fountain of wisdom is about to be sacrificed."
Before they finished speaking, the two giants fell drunk
I snored on the ground.
Su Lun looked at the corners of his eyes and twitched: Are you asleep?
Ordinary people will get drunk after drinking a little bit of Shixian Mead. These two giants each drank hundreds of kilograms of Shixian Mead and got drunk naturally.
But it seems that it can be passed?
Su Lun still asked: "Two giant gentlemen, shall I go get spring water?"
The two giants could no longer open their eyes, and one of them seemed to say "hmm".
Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief.
After consuming some zero alcohol, it seemed to be worth it in exchange for not being challenged in the last level.
He passed the two giants and walked towards the mountain peak.
Soon I heard the faint sound of running water.
Su Lun walked over and saw a small pool only a few meters in diameter.
"This is [Mimir's Fountain]?"
If it weren't for the identification information, he would still be a little unbelievable that such an inconspicuous small pool is the fountain of wisdom in myths and legends.
However, when Su Lun got closer, he discovered something unusual about the spring water.
This seemingly small pool has endlessly clear water, and is actually bottomless to the naked eye.
It feels like seeing the endless starry sky. After looking at it for a while, you will have a dizzy feeling that makes your eyes sink into it.
This spring water background feels like it is connected to the whole world.
Su Lun was not in a hurry to get the spring water.
Because the spring water requires sacrifice.
The old patriarch Morey also hinted before: the fountain of wisdom is just sweet and delicious water in the mouths of ordinary people. Only in the mouths of those who truly possess wisdom will it taste like all the wisdom in the world.
Su Lun thought of something and took out a card.
This is the [One-Eyed Hanged Man Card], one of the twenty-two Miku Tarot cards he got before.
The hidden message on this card is a sacrificial ritual: "I sacrificed my right eye and hung myself upside down on a bare tree for nine days and nine nights. A spear was stabbed on one side of my body. Pierced, I was blown alternately by cold and hot winds, hanging in the air and swinging without food or water. This was my own sacrifice to myself. Then, the secrets of the whole world were opened in front of me."
Obviously, the great alchemist who once made this tarot card knew all the secrets of the [Fountain of Mimir].
This is such a detailed sacrificial ceremony that even the Cyclops tribe may not necessarily know about the alchemical system.
Su Lun has long read the process of sacrifice countless times.
But seeing the "treasure" hidden in the Tarot cards for countless years right in front of my eyes gave me a different feeling.
"It seems that even if this tarot card was not made by one of the five elders of the Cross of Dawn and Dusk, it was still a high-ranking god-level alchemist"
Su Lun took one last look at this tarot card, and then set up a nine-pointed star alchemy array beside the spring.
Because they were prepared in advance, the formation was quickly completed.
He stood in the center of the alchemy formation, exhaled slightly, and then stretched his hands to his eyes.
Sacrificing eyes may seem a bit hesitant to others.
But to Su Lun, it was very familiar.
At this moment, he felt like he had returned to the first day he traveled to this world, when he was in Storm Manor
The scene in the cellar where he sacrificed his own eyes and obtained [S-018-The Eye of Omniscient].
How similar.
Su Lun did not hesitate, pinched the magician's seal, and recited the common mantra that alchemists would use at critical moments: "Follow the law of equal exchange of all things, praise the glory of the original creator, and use Alchemy witnesses the miracle of creation”
As soon as he finished speaking, the nine-pointed star alchemy array lit up with brilliant light.
Su Lun peeled off his right eye with a little force of his fingers.
The stinging sensation of pain was peeled off, without affecting his thoughts at all.
Blood was flowing on his cheek, but he looked expressionlessly at the alchemy array.
In an instant, the sacrificed eye seemed to have some kind of contract connected with heaven and earth.
Su Lun felt that the color in his eyes suddenly became richer.
He looked at the clear spring water again. At this moment, it was already filled with all the colors in the world.
It is like a rainbow turned into spring water, colorful.
A moment later, a ray of colored spring water floated out of the pool and landed in front of him.
Su Lun opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp. In an instant, he felt as if he had tasted all the flavors in the world, including sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, sad, joyful, melancholy, fear, and anger.
It was as if I had tasted all the flavors of the world in this moment.
Su Lun suddenly felt that a lot of things were pouring into his mind.
Some people can understand it, as if they have gained experience and written it down;
Some high up like quicksand between, I want to catch it but it slips away.
The world in my eyes became like an abstract oil painting, with flowers, plants and trees all twisted and deformed, and then gradually turned into twisted symbols in my eyes.
"The law is embodied! Is this the legendary first rune?"
Su Lun was shocked, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became. He actually saw runes that embodied the original laws of the universe in nature?
If he hadn't seen those slates from Patriarch Morey just now, he wouldn't have such a keen understanding at this moment.
He didn't know that he was in a very mysterious state of enlightenment.
Looking at the panel, there is a status of "Great Enlightenment and Wisdom" added to the status.
This is a temporary benefit brought by drinking [Mimir's Fountain], and it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Knowing that the opportunity was too good to miss, Su Lun took a big sip of [Shixian Mead] without thinking, and then hung himself upside down on a bare tree next to the spring with a silk thread.
The moment he hung upside down, the "Runa Runes" in his eyes immediately became clear!
Su Lun fell into a state of drunkenness.
Shixian Mead can help him achieve a state of enlightenment in understanding words, and the [imitation original runes] that he had previously advanced to the fourth level of fusion also allowed him to understand those symbols more clearly at this moment.
One by one the runes fell from the sky like fallen leaves, and Su Lun's shining omniscient eye also emitted a strange light at this moment.
The spear pierced the body, and the blood flowed in the sacrificial formation, maintaining the sacrificial ceremony.
Su Lun hung upside down in the air, looking at everything coldly.
Just like this, it lasted nine days and nine nights.
