That was when I first came into this world.

Lying on the cold ground, I slowly opened my eyes, and everywhere I looked, there were ruins, broken walls, bloody corpses, like hell.

At this moment, although there is no blood corpse, it also makes me feel terrified: what just happened, could it be ......

As soon as he sat up from the ground, he looked around, pondered for a while, and then was relieved.

It seems that the scope of the damage is only slightly larger than that of the back hall hut, and it did not hurt the high priest and others, which can be regarded as erasing my psychological burden.

I vaguely remember that the high priest had told me before he left that he had come to the main hall to look for her, as if he wanted to tell me something.

But......

Walking out of the back hall, I looked around and couldn't help frowning: where is the main hall in this huge mansion?

At this moment, a door in the corridor opened, and a female waiter came out slowly, saw that I was looking at her, nodded at me slightly, and said respectfully: "Lord An Xiaoyi, please come with me." ”

I didn't ask where she was going to take me, I just didn't know what to follow.

After about five minutes, I finally turned to the end of the hallway, and at a turn, a grand hall appeared in front of me.

In the middle of the hall, there are four sofas, in the middle of the sofa, is a coffee table, on the coffee table, placed an ivory teapot, around the teapot, there are two jade teacups, the teacups are full of tea, is steaming.

On one of the couches, an old man sat looking at me with a smile on his face—it was the High Priest.

"Come," the High Priest waved at me, then pointed to the sofa opposite, and said, "Sit." ”

According to the high priest's instructions, he sat down on the sofa, this is a leather sofa, it seems to have been polished, the surface is smooth, full of elasticity, sitting on it, it should be very comfortable, however, before the ass is firmly seated, I heard an awkward sound coming, a little wet and glutinous.

I subconsciously lifted my ass and reached out to touch it, huh?

How is it wet underneath the butt?

Just as I was wondering, my hand moved up and down again, and I realized that it wasn't just my ass that was wet, it looked like my entire pants were wet...... No, it seems that not only the whole pants, but also the clothes are wet!

"Drink the tea and take a shower," said the high priest.

As soon as I looked down, I saw that one of the jade teacups had been pushed in front of me, and the tea in the cup was different from before, it was pale yellow, and at the same time, it not only emitted a faint tea fragrance, but also a burst of hot air wafting up.

It's supposed to be a good cup of tea, but ......

Swallowing my saliva, I didn't dare to touch it.

I can't forget the experience just now, just a cup of tea, I almost went crazy in pain, and now it's another cup, who knows if this cup is the same as that cup.

"Drink," said the high priest, "it's just an ordinary cup of tea." ”

Ordinary tea?

In other words, that cup of tea just now is not ordinary?

After a moment's hesitation, I finally chose to drink it all, forget it, since the high priest has said so, I have the right to accept my fate.

It's just that there is a doubt that I can't let go.

What exactly was that cup of tea before?

Why is it so uncomfortable for me?

Could it be some kind of strong poison?

No, it shouldn't be possible.

You know, my current physique is immune to toxins, even if it is scorpions and spiders that kill people in an instant like the ones in the barren tomb, their toxins have no effect on me.

If not a toxin, what would it be?

Confused, I put the finished teacup back on the coffee table, and instead of immediately getting up to shower, I stood still and felt the changes in my abdomen.

More than two minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and nothing happened.

The high priest on the opposite side picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "This is just ordinary tribute tea, it won't cause discomfort, you go wash up." ”

I answered and went to the bathroom with the waiter.

After washing up, I put on new clothes and sat back on the sofa, feeling refreshed and comfortable.

The high priest smiled and pointed to my hair: "I haven't seen you for many days, and it has grown more than two inches long." ”

"Hehe" I smiled and scratched my hair, then got straight to the point and asked, "High Priest, do you know what I'm here to ask?" ”

"If you don't know, how could you let you drink that cup of medicinal tea," the high priest said slowly.

"Medicinal tea?" I remembered the cup of light green tea I drank before, it seems that it is indeed not poison, but just medicine, no wonder I have a reaction, my constitution immune toxin, but not to mention the effect of immune medicine.

The High Priest continued, "Not being able to possess the power of fading is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

"Uh" I had a question mark on my face, and I couldn't help but say, "I didn't understand what you said." ”

The high priest did not continue to explain, but as soon as he waved his hand, the waiter quickly found an hourglass and handed it to her, and she showed it to me, saying, "Child, do you know why the fine sand of the hourglass pours down from above?" ”

I shook my head.

"That's because the top is high, and the bottom is low," she said, and laid the hourglass flat, and after the hourglass was flat, the end of the full sand, through the narrow slit in the middle, flowed into the other end, and soon reached a level of approximate equilibrium, and the fine sand no longer overflowed towards one end.

The High Priest continued: "When it is level, the fine sand will no longer flow in any direction, do you know why? ”

I'd love to answer: because gravity is downward, not left and right.

But at this time, it is obviously a bit of a donkey's lips to say this, because no matter how you think about it, the meaning that the high priest wants to express has absolutely nothing to do with physical knowledge such as gravity.

So I shook my head: "I don't know." ”

The high priest smiled, "That's because the two who are level are in balance, and the two who are high and low cannot reach the balance. ”

"I see......" I nodded, a little, and sighed again, "but I still don't understand." ”

"It's okay if you don't understand, listen slowly, think slowly, and you will understand," the high priest said: "The example I just gave is just a metaphor, and the metaphor is the relationship between the power of fading and you. ”

"Ahh In a trance, a little brightness lit up in my mind, and in an instant, I somewhat understood the meaning of the High Priest's words, and blurted out: "You mean that the power I have now is actually comparable to the power of fading, right?" ”

The High Priest nodded, then shook his head again.

Nodding is approval, shaking the head is ......

"Not exactly" Before I could ask, the High Priest explained what it meant to shake his head: "To be exact, your power is more than the power of fading. ”

"What do you mean ......"

The Fairy Empress said in a deep voice: "If it is only the power of transformation, the idol may not give you the gift of holy light, but it will definitely let you do the task of transformation, because only if you fade, it is possible to climb to that realm in the future, but after you touch the idol, not only will there be no holy light, but even the task of transformation will not be issued, in this case, there will only be one possibility......"
