Chapter 1515: Caught in the Vortex
The little old woman's voice was like a saw sawing wood, and her body shook slightly between words, making a slight clicking sound, like a completely dried old bark, and Tian Xian even suspected that some part of her body would accidentally fall off the next moment.
"In every generation, there have to be many survivors, and the last generation of survivors, the previous generation of survivors...... And then slowly aging and dying out together......"
The little old woman let out an ugly laugh, "Boy, have you read the records of the great lords of the past dynasties?"
Tianxian shook his head, I really haven't checked this carefully.
"There are four cities in Boiling Water City, each with a lord, and only when there is an absolutely strong person who is recognized by all the lords, can he become a great lord, and the great lords of the past generations are basically the survivors of the White Water Pool. ”
"However, none of them are as strong as Ivan, not as wise as Ivan, and ...... Aging is especially slow. ”
I don't know if those big lords are stronger than Ivan, but with the current age of the big lord Ivan, he does look very young, although there is a feeling that it is difficult to estimate the age, but at least the body is strong, the eyes are bright, and the wrinkles on the face are very few.
Judging from the appearance of the body alone, it is indeed very young, and it is impossible to see the feeling of an old monster in more than a hundred years.
"He's drinking our blood to keep him young!" the little old woman said hatefully, "Originally, he should be an old man now, as the great lords of all generations have been, although his strength is extremely strong, but he will also grow old, he will die, at most he will live longer, but not like Ivan, boy...... Do you know how long Ivan will live?"
Tian Xian shook his head.
"Hmph! Maybe a hundred years, maybe two hundred years! As long as our group of people have not completely turned into dry corpses, even if there is only one breath, he will not really age, only if we are all dead, all of us will die! He will begin to grow old slowly!"
"Interesting, isn't it?" The little old woman's body looked like dry bark that seemed to break with the slightest movement, but the hatred on her face, which was still full of twisted hatred, made her look terrible.
"Including your friends!" the little old woman snorted angrily, "we have all grown old like this, and no one can avoid it, even if the wild dog outside the city seems to be very young, but he has paid a greater price for it, and now he can't even tell who he is." ”
Speaking of the little old woman's self-proclaimed "friend", she could only be silent.
"It's a curse...... "the little old woman sighed, "it's also a punishment for our desires, if it weren't for our lack of greed in the first place, at most...... It's just dead, it's better than being half-dead like now. ”
Tianxian looked at the little old woman cautiously, and said cautiously: "Who is it...... I'm punishing you?"
"Who?"
The little old woman's eyes widened like dead fish, "It's a god, a young man, a real god, and the white pool is a resting place for the gods, not a place where we filthy mortals should go." ”
The gods were amazed.
"Ancient ruins, great cities, and endless treasures...... "the little old woman said mockingly, "those are just the delusions of the greedy and the inadequate, and there is nothing there...... Nothing...... It's just a dwelling place for the gods, it's not a place we can understand, and if I had to choose again, I wouldn't go to the White Pool again...... Once there, your fate is out of your hands. ”
The little old woman fell deeply into the memory, and Tianxian saw remorse and helplessness on her dry face......
"There's nothing there...... Only the wrath of the gods, the rage consumes everyone, and only the lucky ones can see the true body of the gods, and then they are chosen and given powers...... And curses. ”
"We stripped a part of our spirit from ourselves and injected it into an object that was left in the depths of the White Pool, as the price we paid for our strength!"
Tianxian couldn't help but feel a slight tightening in his heart when he heard this, and he guessed right!
This little old woman reacts extremely strongly to the "objects" left behind by her friends, and here's why.
When she mentioned the survivors of the White Water Pool, she initially said "we", and between the words, she was also one of the survivors, and so was the swordsman, and such a strong reaction was as if she wanted to confirm something, so it was very likely that the survivors left something, and she had a misunderstanding because of this.
It turned out to be an item infused with a part of the spirit.
"It seems that you don't know anything about this. The little old woman looked at the sky.
Tian Xian nodded, "Indeed, I don't know about these things. ”
"That's because I was bound by the oath, and what I left behind was the evidence of the oath, and the thing that bound us, not only your friend, but I also left one thing, and the same is true of Ivan, the bastard. ”
"It is also because of the bondage of this oath that we cannot claim that we are survivors, only one of us has received real power, and the rest are only serving for the power of this person...... Victim!"
"That person is the Great Lord Ivan?"
"Yes!" said the little old woman, gritting her teeth, "it is him, who now has supreme strength and wisdom, but it is not his own strength and wisdom, but the power and wisdom of all of us! ”
Tian Xian was a little surprised when he heard this, this little old woman didn't look weak at all, and this powerful divine domain alone was not something that ordinary people could use.
"I'm the exception. The little old woman seemed to see Tian Xian's thoughts, "Have you seen that wild dog on the edge of the city, oh...... I haven't said it yet, it's the guy with the dual swords, he was originally much more powerful than he is now, and now he ...... It's just like that. ”
Swordsman...... Tianxian had to admit that although the strength of the swordsman was not weak, it was not powerful, and if it was compared with this little old woman, it would be even more different.
"We all got amazing power at the beginning, but only one person is the one who is really favored by the gods, and the rest are just containers to make him strong and wise, but even so, even if the other containers will weaken day by day, the time to be strong is much longer than the life span of humans, and it is completely considered to have obtained a huge treasure, but ......"
The little old woman's tone turned cold, and her whole body trembled, and said: "Ivan, that bastard! He vilely changed the order of the contract, destroying the balance of the contract, and the previous great lord was slowly aging and dying with the rest of the containers, and only he desperately absorbed our life and strength, and while he was seeking his own pleasure, we suffered greatly. ”
The little old woman raised her hand like a withered branch and slowly clenched it, and Tianxian heard the sound of breaking bark in her hand, and only heard her say: "We can't say anything, we can't do anything, we can't even be expelled by the power of the contract, we can't even gather together, we can't even get close to Ivan's bastard, we can only silently, silently grow old and decay in the darkness little by little...... Until it becomes a pile of slag!"
"You say!"
The little old woman's long hair was windless, and her eyes were full of hatred and she glared at the sky and shouted: "How can there be such a truth in this world? We are both survivors of the White Water Pool! We should have gotten what we deserved, but everything was stolen by Ivan, the bastard! He rules the widest land, and we have nothing! There is only darkness and pain, you say! How can there be such a truth in this world?"
Tianxian cautiously took a step back.
Although I am not sure, Tian Xian feels that there seems to be some problems with the mental state of this little old woman, although it seems to be no different from ordinary people, but this huge mental fluctuation is a little sick.
The little old woman took a deep breath, "So, it's time...... Before we're dead, it's time to put an end to it all and get back what belongs to us. ”
"Boy, that's what you're going to the White Pool for, understand?"
"Could it be...... Is this a means of dealing with the High Lord Ivan?"
The little old woman laughed strangely, "Yes, that's what I'm telling you for, young boy, you must remember to take back what I left behind, and of course everyone else's, all of them, but your friend's one, you can keep it for the time being, but it will be given to me in the end." ”
Tianxian couldn't help but say: "However, the Great Lord Ivan already knows this matter clearly, and he is also personally involved, do you think this matter can still be successful?"
"Of course!"
The little old woman smiled mysteriously, "Of course he hopes to succeed, because not only are we looking forward to ending the contract, but he himself can't wait to get out of the shackles of the contract and then ...... Find us one by one, and get rid of us forever. ”
Tian Xian was stunned for a moment, "Wouldn't it be dangerous to do this?"
"You don't have to worry about this, just do what you have to do, and then you can get a good reward, when we died to leave the White Water Pool alive, I didn't expect that there would be such a lucky boy as you today, with our old guys to escort, you can enter and exit the White Water Pool as easily as entering and exiting your own door, it is a good thing for pie in the sky." ”
I don't think it's a good thing.
The little old woman continued: "Aren't you going to hire that wild dog? It's a good idea, it will be of great benefit to you that he will go with you, don't look at him crazy, his strength is not ordinary, but as soon as you get to the white pool, you know that you have made the right choice." ”
Tianxian was silent, and faintly felt that things didn't seem to be quite right, the great lord Ivan was certainly planning something, and this little old woman was not a good person, they were all secretly brewing their own plans, and they did not fully explain the plan to themselves, the executor of the bright side.
In other words, it is likely that it has become a tool that has been pushed out to be exploited.
Isn't that good......
"Young man......" The little old woman's tone suddenly softened, "I naturally won't let you do this in vain, although you already have the original intention, but since you are taking things for me, I will definitely give you the benefits, and I will tell you these things today, just to know the importance of this matter, and then ...... Use this thing well and don't make a mistake, or ...... Don't blame me for being dead or disabled. ”
As she spoke, the little old woman took something out of her sleeve and held it up in her hand.
When I looked at it, it was a small conch, black and inconspicuous, the kind that can be seen everywhere on the beach, and it seems to be a little uglier.
"This is a secret treasure that can be approached by the gods, so take it. ”
Tian Xian was startled when he heard it, close to the secret treasure of the gods?
Hurriedly took it with both hands, Tian Xianzi looked carefully, and the energy tentacles turned around twice inside and outside the conch, but he was stunned to find that this was an ordinary conch, not the slightest bit unusual.
It won't be ...... Got it wrong, right?
Tianxian looked at the little old woman in front of him suspiciously.
The little old woman smiled very confidently, as if she had handed over a priceless treasure to Tian Xian, "Boy, I can't say too much to you because of the constraints of the oath, but as long as you enter the white pool, you will understand the benefits of this thing." ”
Tian Xian thought to himself that this thing and that swordsman were both salted fish, and he had to go into the sea to see the benefits......
"Old man, you gave me this important thing like this, aren't you afraid that I will take it and run away?" or ...... Go to the Great Lord Ivan and tell the truth. ”
The little old woman laughed, and the laughter pierced Tianxian eardrums, "Go, just go, it doesn't matter, young man, you can't see the whole face of this matter, the fate arranged by the gods has come, no one can change anything, if it is really that we should perish, then we have nothing to say, since everything has begun, what is the result...... Let's look forward to it together. ”
Tianxian was a little puzzled, "So...... What are you leaving behind?"
"Take it all!" said the little old woman without hesitation, "the White Water Pool is a magical place, you will know when you go, with that wild dog following you, you will definitely find the right way, find those things, remember to take back one of them, and take them to me first, if you go to Ivan first, I have a way to make your life worse than death!"
Tian Xian's heart was slightly cold, for some reason, this sentence seemed to have infinite deterrent power.
"Okay, I'm tired too, it's been a long time since I've said so much, it's hard work to keep my strength from decaying, let's go. ”
As she spoke, the little old woman's body began to change back to its previous appearance, her snow-white hair was shortened, and her appearance barely changed from the appearance of a dead old tree bark to a living person.
The Divine Array then dissipated and became invisible......
The little old woman let out a long breath, seemed to have exhausted a lot of strength, and said slightly weakly: "Go, I will wait here for your news." ”
Tian Xian touched the conch in his hand, so he had to nod and walk out.
"Oh...... That's right. The little old woman seemed to remember something.
Tianxian hurriedly turned around and came back.
"I think it's better for me to be clear. The little old woman laughed like a crow croaking, "I don't have to know who you are, where you come from, what you say is true and what is false, or even whether you are human or not, whether you really have a friend or not, it doesn't matter." ”
Tianxian had already landed, and his heart that he thought he could retire safely today suddenly became nervous, "Old man, ...... you"
The little old woman interrupted Tianxian and said: "The important thing is that you have to go to the White Water Pool, and the will of Ivan is the same, this is the arrangement of the gods, I advise you not to do anything crooked, do what I entrust you, you will get great benefits, otherwise I don't have to punish you, naturally there is a great power to blame you, understand?"
Great power?
Tianxian looked at the little old woman, "Understand, don't worry, old man." ”
"Very well, go ahead, so that you can get out of the whirlpool of this fight, do as I say. ”
