Chapter 58: The Demigod's Lie
Kela ~ Kela ~
The low table in front of him crumbled, and the stones scattered in all directions, except for a thumb-sized seed suspended in front of Donald, a dark green glow blooming in it.
"The seed of inheritance, just eat it, and you will have everything I have. ”
The old man stood beside him, looking at Donald, waiting for that moment to come.
"Inherit everything yours...... Are you going to disappear completely?"
Donald's gaze lingered on the seed for a moment, and then turned to the old man, who seemed to be very concerned about him in his words.
"Now I'm just a wisp of remnant soul, I stayed here to wait for your arrival, since you got everything, of course I will disappear, but this is a long time ago, you don't need to have any psychological burden. ”
"Can I ask you a few questions before you disappear? I'm afraid that when I eat the seed of inheritance, you'll disappear immediately, and I do have a lot of questions in my mind right now. ”
Donald said sincerely, he did have a problem with this demigod.
"Then you ask, I'll try to help you answer. ”
The old man did not refuse Donald's request.
"I had the pleasure of reading your note, and although it has just disappeared, it is a method of becoming a god proposed above...... Of course, I see the words you left at the end, that method can only achieve part of the purpose, and it can't really succeed, so I want to ask, did you succeed in the end?"
The demigod book suddenly dispersed into a cloud of light when he arrived in this secret realm, but fortunately, Donald had already written down the entire content of the book on the way here, and the question he asked appeared in his mind almost as soon as he first saw the sentence on the last page of the ancient book.
It's like when a stranger gets a strange object and is told that it has a flaw, he naturally has to find a way to know where the flaw is and find a way to make up for it.
"Do you think I'm a success?"
The old man asked rhetorically with an inexplicable smile on his face as he spread his hands and looked at Donald.
"It's a great pity, and if you succeed, you'll probably be the first mortal...... I'm sorry, but you seem to be a tree man, right?"
Under Donald's deliberate guidance, the topic unwittingly turned to another place.
"That's right, the tree man behind you is my real form, and I just changed my appearance to be able to communicate better with you. ”
"But as far as I know, the lifespan of the tree people seems to be very long, and I would like to ask, how did you fall in the first place?"
In the blink of an eye, Donald's questions were linked one after another.
Even Stephanie, who was next to her, realized that his question seemed to be a bit excessive, and it was a bit offensive to ask a demigod how he had ever died.
"You yourself said that the lifespan of the Treants is very long, and long does not mean infinite, and at a certain time, we will still die. ”
The old man didn't mind Donald's question and continued,
"Is there anything else you want to know? if not......
"Of course, there's a lot more I want to know, for example, even if you fail, you should still have research results on this, right? I want to know where they are now, since I will inherit everything from you, I want to inherit this part too, maybe I succeed?"
Speaking of this, Donald's eyes were a little more philistine, and Stephanie next to him hurriedly glanced at Donald when she heard this, telling him to stop talking.
Stephanie didn't know what was wrong with Donald or why he kept teasing the demigod over and over again, which he didn't usually do.
"Also, can I borrow your body after you disappear, you also know, my ability is very special, I can resurrect the dead, I think if I can get your body, I will definitely be able to turn it into a weapon to protect the forest!"
This question is not to mention compared to the previous one, for ordinary people, even if there is such an idea, it will be done directly after the old man completely disappears, instead of bringing it up in front of him now, which is really a bit lacking in heart.
"Everything is in that seed, and as long as you inherit my power, all of this will naturally be yours. ”
The old man's answer was still so "easy-going".
"Really? Let me ask one last question. ”
The smile on his face gradually faded, and the cunning of the philistine in his eyes also calmed down, Donald raised his head, stared at the old man, and asked,
"Eat this seed...... Me, or me?"
It sounded like some superfluous questions, but the old man's face was completely gloomy.
The indifference in his eyes was no longer hidden, and the image disappeared completely.
On the throne, the giant treeman opened its eyes and moved, and the rumbling sound spread throughout the secret realm, and Stephanie was stunned by the scene.
Donald stared at the giant tree man for a few moments, but a smile appeared on his face again.
"I can't hide it at all, Lord Demigod. ”
Rising from the low table, putting his hands in his pockets, he walked over to Stephanie's side and spoke in a loud voice.
"Mortal, how did you find out?"
The palm of the hand that had been against his chin rested on the arm of the seat, and the voice of the giant tree man pressed against Donald with great authority.
"It's a good idea to tempt me with the power of a demigod, and if you don't show me that prophecy, I might just step into your trap. ”
patted the back of Stephanie's hand, signaled her not to worry, grabbed Finger who jumped up with his free hand, let it burrow into his arms, and continued,
"Before I explain, can you tell me if the prophecy is purely a fantasy you have concocted, or if it already exists, just an additional me. ”
"Say!, how did you find out?"
There was not the slightest room for manoeuvre, and the tone of the giant tree man seemed a little angry.
"First of all, there is a little girl among my companions in the video, you may not know, she is an immortal spirit, she does not know the human language at all, I know that you may have seen the conversation between me and her through the wood elves of the forest, but that was only I said it to make sure that other people could hear it, and I communicated with her in another language...... How can such a person who has problems even communicating with his subordinates lead the team?"
The way they communicate with Lilo is a secret from Donald, and Anthony and Stephanie only know who she is, let alone the one in front of them.
"That's all?"
This answer obviously did not satisfy him.
"Of course not, and the second point, because of the prophecy of doubt, I quickly thought of Claremont, although I don't know if your Excellency still remembers him, but this demigod ancient book is what I got from him, he came here to see not the current scene, just a relatively large cave and a corpse of a tree man, I thought he deceived me, now it seems that your Excellency deceived him at that time. ”
"In order to let him know that this book is the most valuable thing, so that he doesn't have to pick up something here as a treasure, and forget about the demigod ancient book when he goes out?"
"And you asked him to bring out the demigod ancient book, I'm afraid you also want to let some people who really understand the value of the contents of this book come to you in the Wailing Forest, and then make it easier for you to invade his body, right?"
Donald was not in a hurry, and told his analysis.
"At that time, I didn't really think about it that much, purely because that human being was too old and didn't have any innate abilities, even if he got his body, it was meaningless, so he asked him to take the notes out, the original intention was to use him to set off a wave of snatching notes outside, and in the end, it was naturally the strongest of you humans, and that was the body I expected...... You're the one I'm waiting for, but unfortunately, I guessed the beginning, but I didn't guess that you could actually spot this trap. ”
At this point, there are some things that the tree people no longer hide, and they directly pick out and say.
"Next, I think you have guessed it now, my next questions are just a trial, you agreed too quickly, and too urgent!"
"Interesting...... Interesting!"
The giant treeman suddenly leaned back in his chair and repeated,
"No wonder...... No wonder!"
"What's the wonder?"
"Only human beings can become gods...... I've been researching for so long, and I've finally come to such a conclusion, why?"
The hysterical roar, the anger of the giant treants could be heard by anyone.
In the next second, all the tree people in the secret realm rose from the ground and rushed towards Donald and Stephanie, and the majestic momentum overwhelmed the people.
"I haven't failed yet, you can see what my plan is, in this Wailing Forest, I am God!"
The giant tree man suddenly stood up and stepped in front of Donald, his nearly 15-meter-tall figure looking down at him,
"You still have three companions outside, and one more here, you should care about them very much, I give you the last choice, become my heir, I will let them go, otherwise, before I completely dissipate, you will all die here!"
"If you can do that, why did you design so many parts before?"
Donald turned to face the treemen behind him, his emerald green eyes were dyed red, and the treemen in front of him were just phantoms.
"I don't know why you've come to this point, but in my opinion, that notebook is the embodiment of your remnant soul, and what you want Claremont to take out is what you have left, in order to find someone who meets your qualifications, that's why you know our respective names well, and we can come here by such a 'coincidence', am I right?"
There was no change when the note entered the secret realm, and the sudden disappearance at the low table made Donald aware of the problem for a long time, but he was only suspicious before, so he was still detouring with the demigods in his explanation.
Now that I see these visions, I dare to be sure that this demigod has really reached the point of desperation, and he has to use such small means to fulfill his wish.
Once all the secrets are revealed, the illusion naturally has no meaning to exist anymore.
It's all back to the way it was......
