Chapter 48: The Fountain of Life II
"So the lord doesn't believe in the old man's ability?"
The old man withdrew his sharp gaze and regained his indifferent expression......
"It's not that I don't believe it, but what you said is really incredible, if the fountain of life can also be copied, then wouldn't it be a joke for the elves to stubbornly adhere to the traditions and beliefs for tens of thousands of years?"
The old man waved his hand and said lightly, "As you said, the fountain of life cannot be made! I mean collecting the fountain of life. ”
"How?" Lord Duke's pupils contracted violently, and then asked.
"It's easier said than done, and it takes a lot of time and money. ”
"I have time, as long as it's not too long, I can afford to wait, and money is not a problem. The problem is that you have to convince me that your method works. ”
"Huh. The old man laughed softly and said, "Of course you can not believe me, and I don't want you to believe it, the old man has left my old house for a long time, and the little grandson has also seen the outside world, it is time to go back and see." As he spoke, the old man was about to stand up.
"In that case, why not tell me your method?" said the Duke, who also stood up.
"It's okay!" the old man stopped his figure about to stand up, stroked his beard habitually, and said, "The fundamental reason why the Elven Forest is different from any other region on the continent is not because of the elves in it, but because there is a fountain of life in it. There have been many great sages who have said that it is the Elven Forest that gives birth to the Fountain of Life, but in fact, it is very wrong, on the contrary, it is the Fountain of Life that gives birth to the Elven Forest, and it also gives the Elven Forest a completely different temperament and power. Therefore, everything in the Elven Forest actually contains the breath of the Fountain of Life, so as long as we collect the products in the Elven Forest and then refine the breath of the Fountain of Life contained in it, then I think as long as we have enough products from the Elven Forest and enough time, it is entirely possible for us to collect enough Fountain of Life. ”
As if impressed by the old man's performance, the Duchess looked at her husband with pleading eyes and said, "My dear, the words of the divine doctor are very reasonable, and at least they are worth a try, what do you say?"
"Do I have any other choice?" the Duke smiled bitterly, but only he understood what he meant by his choice.
"It was my fault just now, please bear with me, the method of the divine doctor is indeed worth trying, if the doctor doesn't feel compromised, just stay in my manor, I can advance 10,000 gold coins to you for this research, it's not enough, you can add it at any time." If the miracle doctor can really cure my son's illness in the end, I will give you another 10,000 gold coins as a reward. Of course, if the doctor has other needs, I will fully support them. ”
"Smack!" Little Rick was seriously nibbling on a pear next to him, and suddenly heard that his grandfather could earn 10,000 gold coins for this job, his mouth opened wide, and the pear fell directly to the ground. He jumped next to the old man and nodded his little head seriously at the old man, meaning that this thing was reliable, at least it was much better than their grandchildren going around cheating and cheating on profits.
"I'm getting older and just looking for a place to do something that interests me. If I can use this opportunity to refine the spring of life, it will give me a sense of accomplishment in my old age, and the Duke's manor is so beautiful, compared to my shabby grass house, this is a good place for me to live in my old age. The old man stroked his grandson's head with his hand and said leisurely.
"The doctor means yes?" the Duchess was overjoyed.
"In that case, we can start working immediately, I will have someone arrange accommodation for you at once, and ten thousand gold coins will be delivered later, you can come to me directly if you need anything, and if I am not there, you can find my wife." The duke was also in a good mood, and almost immediately summoned the butler to begin arranging accommodation for the grandfather and grandson.
It's still the same room, it's still the same two people. At this time, it was almost dusk, but the expression of the black-robed man was as bright as the morning sun, on the contrary, the mood of the Duke was slightly low.
"In the afternoon, I observed from a distance, that although the old man's behavior and demeanor had changed somewhat, he could still see that there was almost no change in his appearance, especially his appearance, and that he was able to confirm your son's condition in a very short time, and I can now almost confirm that this is not a coincidence, that he is the man the Lord has been looking for. ”
"Is that the kind of situation he said possible?" asked the Duke cautiously.
"Hmph, it seems that you still don't give up, you are the ideal place for him to take refuge, so he is just using this method to deceive your trust. It's just that he wouldn't have dreamed that I was here. Don't worry about your son's affairs, as long as you are faithful to the Lord, the Lord's power will spread throughout the entire continent in less than ten years, and at that time, let alone using the spring of life to cure your son's illness, even moving the entire spring of life to bathe your son is just a matter of the Lord's words. The black-robed man said arrogantly and even a little arrogantly.
"Yes, of course I believe in the power of the Lord. So what do I do next?"
"Then you're going to treat him like your son's only savior, as if he had never been there. But I warn you not to be clever enough to arrange for someone to spy on him, even if I dare not approach him to observe him. Otherwise, once it is discovered, the consequences can be very serious, at the worst it will ruin the great affairs of the Lord, at the worst it will be said that you may die at any time, and it is useless to keep him all the private soldiers in your manor, unless you can invite the Praetorian Guard Legion of Yus and the Grand Magician of the Court to help in the battle. ”
"Thank you, sir, for reminding me, I must be careful before my lord's instructions!"
"Hmm. Next, I will immediately return to the south, and I will personally report to the Lord about the affairs here, I believe that these two news will have an important impact on the Lord's strategy.
At this time, at the barbecue field of a manor far behind the palace, Andre was entertaining the Fabre father and son for dinner on behalf of his grandfather, and the house slaves took turns to bring up the wine and delicacies.
During the day, André took Fabre and his son to visit the vineyards, wineries, colosseum, fencing hall, sculpture hall, flower garden, horse farm and other places in the manor, which opened the eyes of the two and saw the life of a real nobleman. During the whole process, Andre's chic, modest and courteous, knowledgeable, and eloquent performance left a good impression on Fabre and his son, especially Arman really praised Andre a few words, and I didn't know that André was the senior brother!
A roast yellow sheep feast with a delicious muller, the guests and hosts will be delighted. The next day, Andre asked Fabre and his son to go to the southeast of the outskirts of the imperial capital to hunt in Nanshan, Nanshan was originally a royal hunting ground, and there were all kinds of wild beasts on the mountain for the royal family or nobles to hunt here, if it were not for the light of the Phelps family, Fabre and his son were not qualified to set foot in the royal hunting ground, so for this invitation, the old Fabre felt supremely honored, which showed that the gift he gave to the prime minister was very effective, and he also hoped that his son Arman and André had more contact, because the duke's son had a hidden disease, so the duke has always been very fond of his eldest grandson, if Arman can establish a good relationship with him, it will be very beneficial to his future career development, so for this invitation, Fabre and his son happily accepted.
