Chapter 33: The Elixir of Life

"In that case, let's leave early. Alva had a complicated expression, and when he saw that Adam had chosen faith, he was a little disappointed and a little happy.

"You are still my teacher, and even though I no longer learn from Alva, I will still respect you. Adam took the letter and said good things, though he knew that they would probably not be useful.

"Don't say these hypocritical words. Alva turned, picked up his paintbrush, and began to paint.

"That's what I thought in my heart. Adam said, bowed, and then pushed the door open with the letter and left.

"Don't do things that you regret. Alva whispered, his last piece of advice to the student.

"No, it won't. Adam paused, and then, without stopping, strode outside.

Pinching the letter in his hand, Adam's expression was not good, in the face of Alva's people, he could only improvise, for them, there were too many things that jumped out of his expectations.

"It seems that in the future, I will not be able to go to church as often. Adam felt a little sorry for this, but he didn't find it unacceptable.

Adam believes that plans cannot be fixed, and once they are fixed, they will be broken by unexpected accidents, and that a good planner should be able to change his plan as things progress.

For example, the plan to lurk in the church was abandoned after Adam realized that he lacked knowledge of the strong.

Because his state is not static, if he is discovered by the chief monk or the strong man in the church one day, it will be self-defeating.

For example, this time, his bloodline awakened and his spiritual temperament changed, and the chief monk gave him the address of Alva's house, but Alva used the Thousand Paintings House to induce himself to have abnormalities.

If it weren't for the fact that Adam had felt the power of the bloodline awakening to trace the past before, and maybe he would have revealed his own abnormality, then what greeted him should not be two choices, but a disaster.

Sensing Adam's departure, Alva stopped, he didn't know if he was right to recommend Adam to go to that person to study, but he always felt that he couldn't do Char's proposal.

Char believes that although Adam has ambition and extraordinary talents, he only needs the right guidance to achieve salvation, and he is well suited to inherit Alva's legacy and become Alva's true student.

But Alva didn't live up to Char's wishes, and he always thought of Adam as a scourge, just as he was back then.

So Alva didn't have the confidence to guide Adam, and his first choice, as he said, was to teach Adam the art of painting all his life, and let Adam inherit his gallery, but other than that, he wouldn't teach Adam anything, suppress Adam's talent, and make him a painter.

He expected Adam to choose this, but when Adam chose to believe, he was somehow relieved.

"Char, you've always thought I've been redeemed, but have I really got?" Alva said, sadly.

"Sir, Mr. Alfred took Mr. Chuck's note, saying that he was helping him get the painting, and I have invited him to the drawing-room. Ai walked slowly to Alva's side and whispered.

"Then go meet him, and then come over to Hill Chuck, don't let him in. Alva reined in his emotions.

Ai understood. Ai nodded and wrote down at this point, the next time Mr. Chuck came, what excuse would he use to refuse?

Alva asked Ai to pick up a painting to dry, and followed him to the drawing-room, where the old man sat very upright in his chair with his cane in his hands, followed by the coachman.

"This is Chuck's painting, accept it, Mr. Doug. Alva lay on the chair opposite him and pointed to the painting that Ai was carrying, and said impatiently.

"Walker. The old man shouted, and the coachman behind him immediately took the painting.

"Master Alva, there are some things I will tell you directly, the reason why I came here in this name this time is to ......" The old man didn't even glance at the painting next to him, but said to Alva.

"It's impossible to give it to you. Alva interrupted the old man's words, stood up and said, "Mr. Rohm, if you have come to ask for a painting, I welcome it, but if it is for that thing, please forgive me for not receiving it, take the painting and leave." ”

"You should know my situation, Mr. Alva. Doug clenched his crutches tightly, and his voice became a little louder: "There is no one for future generations, how can I trust to pass on the noble name of Roma to them?"

"Then your education has nothing to do with me, Mr. Doug Rohm Alfred. Alva changed three titles in a row, clearly expressing his dissatisfaction.

"But I always have to solve this problem. Doug's voice fell, and he said tiredly, "I need an elixir." ”

As soon as the word 'elixir' came out, the air in the living room seemed to be much colder.

"Die for this heart. After Alva left this sentence, he turned around and left, ignoring it.

"Please, the exit is here. With a smile, Ai stretched out his hand to point the way, and said in passing, "With all due respect, that thing doesn't taste good." ”

Doug raised his head to look at Ai, who was smiling innocently, squeezed his hand on crutches, and stood up even harder, only to realize that this old man was tall and tall, and he looked more powerful than most people, and on the back of his hand, a black circle, in which various symbols of heraldry appeared.

Ai glanced at it, then kept her posture unchanged, still smiling.

"Let's go. The coat of arms faded, and Doug walked out the door.

Walker followed behind Doug with the painting, turning his head to look at Ai, the air blurring for a moment, then shattering, and the wind swept through the curtains.

The two of them looked unchanged, Walker withdrew his gaze and carried the painting and left behind Doug, while Ai came to the window and arranged the somewhat messy curtains in an orderly manner again.

Before stepping out of the fence, Doug looked back, his eyes full of determination, he must get his hands on the elixir.

There are many ways to live forever in this world, but most of them have serious side effects.

One of the usual side effects is the change in blood veins.

This method of immortality is mostly developed by magicians, for magicians, the longer they practice, the more inappropriate they are, and is changing the bloodline a side effect?

But for the aristocracy, it could be even more unacceptable than dying.

The coat of arms of the nobility is inherited from the ancestors, and the most important condition is that the bloodline can match and the breath of life can match.

If they do not match, the coat of arms will peel off, waiting for the inheritance of other bloodlines, and accepting the immortal method, which may even taint the merits of the ancestors and cause hostility from the church.

The Church reveals the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death, and believes that monks should not pursue a long life in this world, but should peacefully accept their death and meet their own God after experiencing a complete life.

Those who use various immortal methods to escape death are prone to arouse the hostility of monks, and even some immortal methods will directly define the user as a different species and be hunted down by the church.

Alvar Latu, the most talented monk in the Sacred Heavenly Sound Kingdom for a hundred years, was stripped of his holy power due to the invention of the elixir, and could only rely on the protection of his old friend Char to live in the border city of Roya.

This news was blocked by the church, and if it weren't for Doug's channels, it really wouldn't be clear.

Alva had undoubtedly used the elixir, otherwise he was in his eighties, how could he still maintain the appearance of forty years old.

The point is that Alva's breath of life has not changed in any way, which is an immortal method for nobles.

Doug came to this several times, all of them were vaguely tempted before, and this time he even needed to use the name of other nobles to enter the door, so he knew Alva's attitude, so he directly mentioned it today.

Although it had been expected, Alva's merciless refusal still made Doug extremely angry, and Doug suppressed his anger while sitting in the carriage, not allowing himself to lose the etiquette of the nobility.

"Sir. Walker's voice suddenly rang out, and the carriage slowed down slightly, and Doug knew that the loyal servant had discovered something, and lifted the curtain slightly, and saw Adam walking by the side of the road.

"Wait and find out who the other party is. ”

"Understood. ”
