At that time, we met a fatalized enemy who also came in search of the elixir: the voice of the warden of the underworld, the master of Buyos, was obviously a little sad, we picked up the elixir and were rejoicing, Buyos and his men attacked us from behind, we suffered heavy casualties, Buyos stepped over a corpse, picked up the elixir from the ground, and walked away, and the only living people who could get up from the pile of corpses were me and my wife, that is, your teacher

Does Buyos also want to live forever, Owen asked

No, necromancers originally worship death, how can they yearn for immortality, although many necromancers have existed in the world for more time than the limits of human beings, but in fact, they only use spells to fix their souls on their already decaying bodies, this is not real immortality, and if you want to get the elixir, you must have other intentions

What an attempt

Who knows, I didn't think about it so much back then, I only knew that I was extremely unwilling, and I only thought that I had to snatch the elixir back, alas...... The master sighed, your master once persuaded me to give up, but I am extremely obsessed with the elixir of life, and I can't let go of the identity of the head of the family, how can I listen to it, if I listened to your master back then, there would not have been so many tragedies later

What happened later, Owen couldn't wait to ask

Your master knows that there is no way to explain me, so I can only assist in my operation, we and I followed their footprints all the way to the island of death, and in the outer hell, we had a battle with Buyos and his men by a surprise advantage, and although we succeeded in retrieving the elixir, after this battle, your master and I were seriously injured and forced to flee into this isolated valley

Although the master only mentioned the battle with Buyos in one sentence, Owen could imagine that it must have been an earth-shattering and tragic battle, and although Owen was curious about the process of that battle, the master did not say anything, and Owen did not ask

Seeing that Owen didn't speak, the master continued to tell what happened back then: Gain and lose, those necromancers naturally will not give up, they chase after you, and your master and mother saw that neither of them could escape, so she used up all her lives, not only to keep the necromancer out of the valley, but also to save my life

Hearing this, Owen couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, is she also buried here, Owen asked weakly

She fused her skin, flesh, bones, and blood with the earth, and laid out the enchantment here through the medium of flowers, trees, birds, beasts, insects, and fish

Enchantment

That's right, now you see that every living thing here is part of the enchantment, and those necromancers who exude the breath of death all over their bodies will immediately lose all their power as soon as they step into this enchantment, and since then I have survived in this valley, but I have lost my beloved wife forever, alas...... It was my persistence that hurt her, and all the people who came with me, and the master sighed again, only I survived, but I was forever alone and trapped in this Jedi, even if I got the elixir of life, what if I lost my beloved, it was my punishment

Master Craftsman...... Owen couldn't help but want to be comforted, but he couldn't say anything to persuade him

For more than ten years, I have been trapped alone in this valley, crying, regretting, reflecting, and realizing...... The master didn't care about Owen's desire to speak, and life, old age, sickness and death are the constant laws of the continuous cycle between heaven and earth and nature, and only the universe is truly eternal and immortal, as long as people will eventually die, not only human beings, you Olopa have many races whose lifespan far exceeds that of humans, such as dwarves, elves, orcs, etc., and my hometown also has it. The life span of some demons has even reached thousands of years - but as long as there is a life in the world, no matter how long it is, there will always come to an end. Self-deception, Owen, do you understand, the first time the master called Owen's name, it is precisely because life is not infinite that it is precious, life should be cherished and enjoyed when you are alive, let it shine with dazzling brilliance, even if it is only for a moment, it is like a little light that suddenly rises in the darkness, even if it is fleeting, enough to make people remember forever, if you put the cart before the horse, to pursue that ethereal immortality, it is a sad and absurd thing at all--now I finally understand

Master, I also understood, Owen pondered

The people on the vast continent like to talk about cause and effect, if it weren't for the fact that Buyos was eager to break the barrier in the valley and regain the elixir of life, he would not have taken the risk, and for more than ten years, he was happy to accompany a puppet who was capable enough to withstand the power of demonic blood, and now it is impossible for Owen to know the master and become his disciple and listen to his lectures, but if this is the case, Owen will not understand such an open life

I have harmed many people for my teacher, not only my wife, but also the more than 300 compatriots who came with me, as well as you, and the tens of thousands of innocent people who have died tragically under the demon blood puppet in the past ten years

Master, why do you blame yourself, it's the fault of those necromancers out there, they have caused so many tragedies

Although you are only 15 years old, but you are very mature in your thinking, and you know how to think from the most rational side in the face of sorrow, then remember to be calm and calm at all times, and do not let anything cause your emotions to fluctuate, especially negative emotions such as sadness, hatred, anger, and frustration

Master, you mean the demonic blood on me

You understand, the master nodded with satisfaction, the setbacks and punishments received for the teacher are the best lessons, you remember to let go when you should let go, don't look at letting go as a shame, sometimes letting go takes more courage than persevering

The kinetic energy that had become the end of the powerful crossbow finally became the potential energy that had been gathering for a long time, and the water of Chubrunan Falls stopped rising and rushed straight down from a higher height than before, and soon recovered to its original state

Under the control of demonic blood, Owen's punch was powerful, but it could not be used against all things in the world

Owen, who had recovered his sanity a little, felt a little difficult to breathe under the impact of the strong water pressure, but he finally survived the most difficult period and successfully suppressed the surging of demonic blood in his body - although the black qi entangled in his body had not completely disappeared, he had gradually mastered the dominance of the battlefield in his body

He recalled the four years he had lived in the valley, and his demonic blood had awakened countless times, and if it weren't for the second mentor in his life, who had always been by his side, Owen would have been a walking corpse that had lost his mind.......
