Chapter 517: A bargaining chip that's hard to refuse
Life. It's a topic that has been thought about countless times since creatures were born. It's too simple and too profound, so simple that even ants will fight to survive, so deep that intelligent humans will fight for others. Life, how many meanings does it have? Or does it really have only one explanation, or even none? Over the years, some people have learned the meaning of life from the mouth of the gods, some people have understood the uniqueness of life from the whispers of demons, and some people have understood the endless and transient life from the natural things of trees, flowers, birds, beasts, insects and fish. So what is life?
I am afraid that there are as many beings as there are beings to answer this question, but most of them will have a different commonality, life, it should not be easily ended, in most cases, the longer it is, the better. People are always afraid of the unknown, and death is the ultimate unknown, and even the best spellcasters in the world can't spy on what happens after death. As a result, people are always running away from death. Is that wrong? I don't think so.
But on the contrary, some things in this world are like this, everyone's birth is uncontrollable, the circumstances are very different, the experience will not be the same, only death will come to everyone's head in an unavoidable public equal. It is like an invisible noose, which is wrapped around each neck, and it only takes a moment for it to be tightened to the point where there is no room for it. Fortunately, most people in this world can't see this noose, and their muddy life, muddy aging, comes to an end in numbness. It should be a blessing for those who can see the noose, compared to the ravens and witches.
"Endless, lifespan?" the Raven's eyes narrowed, and his voice fluctuated noticeably as he repeated the words. For a wizard who has been haunted by death for a long time, not to mention an endless lifespan, even if it is only a very short lifespan, he is willing to put a lot of things into it.
And Kouira, keenly captures this. She was pleased with the Raven's reaction, but she also had a faint sense of concern. No one knows the thirst for life better than a witch, so she knows exactly what crazy things people can do to increase their time. Although the Being had promised a way to give Kuira an infinite lifespan, the witch was unsure if it could be shared. Taking a step back, even if she could, Kouira didn't want the Raven to be the sharer.
However, at this time, the transaction continued, and seeing that the fish had taken the bait, the witch's face showed a confident smile, "Yes, that's right." It's longevity. ”
"Are you sure? The being who traded with you offered such a price?" The magic gleam in the raven's eyes, and the great temptation did not deprive the sorcerer of his ability to think. He quickly realized several things. First, what kind of being would have such a secret door that can break through life and death? Second, why would such a secret existence be willing to exchange such a huge bargaining chip for such a cheap service from a witch, you know, it is not too much to use the method of immortality as a bargaining chip for any creature to be his eternal servant. In this respect, the price paid by the witch is too little. And thirdly, is this so-called infinite lifespan really as you think?
"Of course, I'm not sure. Surprisingly, Kuyla didn't give an affirmative answer, "I don't think anyone is really going to take it all for granted." But don't you think that as long as there is even a one percent chance of this deal, no one can say no?"
The gray robe did not answer, but the silence itself was an affirmation. Indeed, since there are bombs disguised as gifts in this world, there are gifts in the shape of bombs. The only difference is that the latter is likely to be missed, while the former is often accepted. However, this is not a reason for Raven to agree to the deal. He shook his head and said, "Very attractive conditions. However, it is too good for me to be able to achieve. I also needed something more practical. ”
"Oh, I'm afraid that's not appropriate, Mr. Raven. I trade the nezumi captives for Kiri's corpse, and I exchange peace for sharing the secret of eternal life with you. Then it's your turn to put your chips on the table. But I don't think I need anything more from you, do I?" said Coola, knowing that the Raven's initiative in this negotiation had been lost. The wizard could not resist the temptation of eternal life, he was just looking for some solace for himself, some reason to convince himself to participate in this gamble.
"I have heard that you came to this kingdom to get rid of the traitors. Since I caused the death of your men, I want me to complete her mission on her behalf, and you shouldn't refuse, right?" said the Spellcaster, his tone less certain than before, as he was not sure how much interest Kuyla had in killing Emia and Kolanty. It's not a good price, but it's what the Raven can think of the other person wants.
"Hehe, you're a gentleman. However, this was not enough to close our deal. I still want something. The witch smiled even more.
"Please, my lady. The grey robe lowered his haughty head and spoke humbly to his enemies.
Kuyla pretended to think for a moment, her eyes daring over the crow's body several times. Is this guy really giving in? Is he willing to let go of his grey robe and become his pawn in order to share his reward? It doesn't matter. The witch has been alive for a long time, and she knows that the negotiations have been going on so far, and the negotiations between the two sides are only showing each other's sincerity, but it is often this time when a negotiation can really reap the benefits. As a speculator, she would not let go of this opportunity.
"What do I want... You're really stumped on me. I don't think it's better to do this, I want two people, and if you can bring them to me, then I'm willing to accept your terms. ”
"Who?" asked the crow impatiently, and then realized that his behavior seemed to be a bit out of shape, and it was too late to redeem it, and the expression on his face became quite funny.
Kouira enjoyed the feeling, and it was far more pleasant to watch the other person show this ugliness in front of him than to retaliate directly by force. Her smug look became more and more obvious, "That's right. You also see these little pets around me, they are my heart's work, they are my family. But I alone don't have the energy to take care of each and every one of them, and there are people in your team who have the ability to do so. I want her to serve me. ”
"No problem. But not now, when this side is over, I can find a chance to bring her to you. Without any hesitation, the wizard agreed to the request to betray the webworm. This mercenary didn't matter to him, and it didn't matter if she used it as a bargaining chip. "What about the other one?"
"Oh, don't joke when I say it. As for me, I love pets, not only insects, but I also like it... Dog. ”
............
The content of the negotiation between the witch and the wizard is unknown to outsiders. In fact, due to the subtle influence of magic, several people could not even accurately capture the movements and demeanors of the two of them. When the spiders scattered around the ground, the crow walked back with a relaxed face.
Without waiting for his companion to ask, he turned to Bakham and said, "Give the witch back to her people." We leave this hellish place with the rat people. ”
