The Whispering Verses Chapter 1599: Immortality and the Enemy in the Mist
Xia De took his hand away from the wall, straightened up and raised his head, looking at the entire family tree spreading down from the original starting point:
"One person in the first generation, two people in the second generation, three people in the third generation, and six people in the sixth generation. The seemingly ordinary ancient crazy families that thrived here ended up leaving behind these people who still don’t know whether they are dead or alive. Root system, and each root system has the possibility of producing more offspring, which is really impressive. If the life span of Edwards is in line with normal people, then..."
He suddenly asked in his heart:
“Last time on the roof of the Opera House, what were the core spiritual runes of the Fulen brothers?”
[Space, immortality, twins. 】
"What did you think of again?"
Seeing that Shade was mid-sentence, the pharmacist asked again. Shade shook his head again, which made the sorceress obviously angry:
"I found that you are not very interested in the elixir of immortality studied by Edwards. Instead, you are interested in Edwards' descendants. If so, can you tell me what exactly you want to do?"
"This can be said - my mentor discovered a letter from the Edwards family a hundred years ago, which contained an important ritual symbol, and that symbol was related to the mentor's secret research. The mentor asked me to investigate the Edwards family, to find the meaning of ritual symbols."
"With a young six-ring warlock like you as your student, your mentor is either very beautiful or very strong."
"Or both."
Xia De smiled, looked at the pharmacist lady again, and asked tentatively:
"Are you interested in that ritual symbol?"
"Interested, but I'm not a member of the Edwards family."
The pharmacist lady said, and then said sarcastically:
"But I am surprised that you said you are not interested in the elixir of life. Everyone alive is afraid of death. This is human instinct. Maybe you just haven't reached that stage."
"I have [Eternal Youth Leaf]."
Xia De said very cautiously:
"And my friend, a high-level warlock, shared with me some of the witch emperor's, um... secrets of immortality in the fifth era."
He continued to test the lady, but her expression remained normal.
“I have seen a very real death. To me, the meaning of living does not lie in living itself, but in the process. I am not a philosopher, and I can’t tell many great truths. I can only say that mortals will eventually die. Once I die, I cherish every second of my life and everything I have now."
The foreigner who has lived his second life is really moved by his words:
"Compared with a longer life, a quality life, a life that can feel the temperature, is the most precious."
The sorceress’s eyes wandered for a moment, and her voice became inexplicably softer:
"Life with temperature...speak as if you had died."
Xia De smiled and did not refute. I don’t know if it was because she knew the purpose of Sha De’s investigation. The pharmacist’s next tone was even gentler:
"Immortality can also be seen as a curse. If you can realize this, you are smarter than most ring wizards. Now write this picture down. Your mentor will definitely be very satisfied. , I bet that no matter how well-informed he or she is, they will definitely not be able to investigate these clues."
"Yes, unless you see it with your own eyes, who can know that the Edwards family has produced so many descendants after leaving Green Lake Town?"
Xia De looked at the **** root system map:
"What I'm even more curious about is who continued writing about future generations. Or does the picture itself have the power to continue writing automatically?"
It doesn’t take time to copy this picture. Xia De will remember “her” after looking at it once. Xia De will use it when he gets home
After confirming that Shade had written down all the contents, the pharmacist used another bottle of potion to "wash" away the contents on the restaurant wall. While waiting, Shade also said:
"It seems like the Edwards family really values their family members."
"Why do you say that?"
"They put the family tree on the wall of the dining room so that everyone can see it while eating. But speaking of it, the information about the sixth generation Edwards has already reached the bottom of the wall. . If they have any more descendants, won’t this wall be impossible to write?”
As he said this, he looked at the pharmacist and said another possibility:
"Or, the person who originally made this picture originally thought that the family would end in the sixth generation, or that the sixth generation would complete a certain mission?"
"Look what I do, I don't know these things."
The pharmacist glanced at him, and Shade nodded:
"Thank you very much for being able to land on the island with me. This trip went smoothly."
"It's not free, that piece of orichalcum is worth it."
With that said, the two of them planned to leave the mansion. Shade didn't think there were any clues that he could easily find here. He planned to investigate again in the Green Lake area and land on the island again if there were clues. Anyway, he could walk on water and run faster than the steamboat.
"In addition, if you have special metals such as mithril and fine gold, you can also contact me. I will purchase such in-demand commodities for a long time."
The sorceress mentioned it again, and Shade joked:
"If I have the Philosopher's Stone, will you take it?"
The pharmacist lady obviously did not consider this sentence to be true. She smiled rarely, which is also evidence that her view of Shade has changed:
"Of course I will accept it. I will accept all the property I sell. Do you know that before the Edwards family was destroyed, they really released news that they wanted to acquire the Philosopher's Stone. But they are just ordinary people, so how can they... .."
She suddenly frowned, and she and Shade were at the door of the building, looking into the thick fog. Shade also closed his mouth. Although his eyes could not see anything yet, his perception had discovered that two people were moving towards here.
The opponent's level is obviously not as good as that of the lady traveling with Sha De, and her perception ability is far inferior to that of Sha De, so they have not discovered Sha De yet.
"I remember you said that no one might land on the island every few months."
Xia De said softly, and the pharmacist lady frowned slightly:
"Now is not the time to talk about this, and I didn't expect to meet anyone else. But who would come here? There is obviously nothing left on this island."
She took out another glass tube half the size of her index finger from her small satchel. Inside the container was a silver liquid like mercury:
"Go and deal with those two people, leaving at least one alive."
"Wait a minute, why should I go by myself? Even if you can't exert the power of the high ring, you can still do it with me. Isn't this more convenient? And what is this you gave me?"
Xia De asked in surprise.
"Men always have so many problems."
The sorceress complained and threw the small bottle to Shade:
"Just go ahead. My current situation is very complicated. If you can avoid doing it, try not to do it. This liquid allows you to directly use a low-level word of sublimation. Although the effect is better than the prepared word of sublimation. A little worse, but at least there are no side effects."
"Huh?"
Xia De hurriedly caught the thrown glass container, and "she" said softly in his ear:
[There is no specific area as a condition. In any case, you cannot use the low-level word of sublimation to summon the demigod witch from the past. 】
"Madam, how can we use words of sublimation to deal with these two people?"
He then stuffed the glass tube into his pocket and patted it to prevent it from slipping out:
"When you ask questions later, I will also be there to listen."
The sorceress glanced at him and nodded:
"As long as you are not afraid of getting into trouble, that's fine. Let me remind you, those two people are about the same level as you, so don't be too careless."
"I know, that's why I said to reassure you. Even though I'm young, I actually have a lot of combat experience."
As he spoke, he pulled out a black key from his chest and whispered something that the sorceress didn't understand. As the light flickered under Shade's feet, the key in his hand extended to both sides until it formed a A dark wooden staff.
The pharmacist lady raised her eyebrows:
"Relic? Or a staff? It's really rare. No wonder you are so confident."
"Yes, I rely on this weapon."
Shad walked towards the thick fog.
He did not rely on himself to discover the other party in advance and conduct a sneak attack. It would be bad if the other party was from the church. He kept walking forward until the two ring warlocks, whose senses were obviously dull, stopped and looked at him, and Shade stopped.
At this time, both sides can clearly perceive the other's existence, but in the fog, they can only see the figure of the other side.
"Who are you?"
Xia De asked directly, but the answer he received was that one of the two people suddenly waved to him.
Fine rays of light flashed through the fog. Shade raised his hand to block it forward with the [Stand of Yggdrasil]. He only heard a soft sound of "Peng", which was shining but almost transparent. The "boomerang"-like weapon was knocked away by the long staff.
But it wasn't over yet. The boomerang bounced into the thick fog and spun around, then turned around and hit Shade again.
"Is this...a spiritual weapon?"
Shad raised his eyebrows. Except for Sister Devlin's ice-colored scythe, he rarely encountered opponents who were as good at using spiritual weapons as he was:
"Spiritual weapons are not omnipotent!"
This time, he did not raise the long staff, but slammed it upward with his free right hand. The "Moonlight Slash" attached to the palm flashed through the fog, and even the pharmacist behind Shade The lady was unable to capture any details other than the flash of light, and the boomerang shattered into points of light in the fog.
The shattering of the spiritual weapon did not distract the enemy. The two people, whose appearance could not be seen clearly in the fog, quickly separated, and then while casting spells, they approached Shade from the left to the right. Shade then shook the long staff in his hand, and several rings of moonlight from the top of the staff flew towards the two of them one after another.
