Chapter 057: Identity
When the old man first appeared, his hateful gaze had completely disappeared, and his face was full of doubts, and he couldn't help asking, "Who are you?" How can you possibly see through my unspoken thoughts?"
I smiled contemptuously: "The world is so big, there are countless mysteries that can be seen and invisible, and this little ability on my body is just a small skill of carving insects, you don't need to make a fuss." I didn't mean to threaten you when I went into the mountains, and you give me a happy word now, and whether you are willing to make a deal with me. ”
The old man is already a moth in a spider's web at the moment, and he can't run away if he wants to, so he naturally has the idea of compromise in his heart. At the same time, he is very eager for my trade, and the exchange I promised may allow his entire race to perpetuate and allow their Wood Elves to reappear in the forest.
After looking down and thinking about it for a moment, the old man agreed to make a deal with me.
But when I finished talking about my previous experience, the old man helped me check the pulse, and the result was not satisfactory.
Seeing that the old man kept shaking his head and not speaking, the God of Wealth asked, "You have a sick neck, what are you shaking?" Hurry up and tell me if you have what it takes to cure this disease. ”
The old man fell into deep thought, his face was slightly solemn and confused, and he said later: "From your appearance, it seems that you are terminally ill, but in fact, you do not see a little sickness in your body. It's weird! ”
When the God of Wealth heard this, he shouted angrily: "Are you going to see a doctor!" ”
I continued to ask the old man, "You mean, my vital signs are all right?" ”
The old man nodded: "Not only are you not sick, but as I felt before, your vitality is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and besides, you ......" The old man glanced at me, suddenly stopped, stared at me and swallowed back what words.
The God of Wealth said to me: "Don't believe him, at first glance, he is a charlatan who sells dog skin plasters, pretending to be deep, and he has no ability, so he is all around here." What about elves? Shame on you! If it weren't for the sake of an old man, I'd slap it. ”
I can feel that the old man is not a quack doctor who has a false reputation, and through the spiritual vein, I can peek into his inner world, he is indeed an elf, and he has a lot of medical knowledge.
I glanced at the God of Wealth: "You be quiet, don't talk endlessly." ”
The master pulled the God of Wealth back, glared at him, and frightened him back and stopped talking.
I continued to ask the old man, "What do you want to say and stop, what can't you say?" ”
The old man shook his head slightly, looked at me and said, "It's not that there is nothing that cannot be said, but I have a lot of questions about your body." First of all, if you are coughing, your qi is weak, and your face is pale, it stands to reason that there must be something wrong with your body's internal organs, but your pulse is not unusual. Then, I felt a power in your body that I had never been in contact with, a power that made people shudder, and I wanted to use spiritual power to sneak into your body to find the root cause of the disease, but this power actually forced me back unconsciously, and it was quite fast and powerful. I'm sure that with this power in your body, not only will you not die, but you will be able to live a long life. ”
"Really?" I asked, "Then can you guess whether this power comes from the female ghost or the dragon heart?" Or is there another reason? My family said that I have been cursed since I was a child, and I will not live until I am a child, is there any special power hidden in my body that controls my vitality? ”
The old man thought about it again, but still frowned: "I dare not jump to conclusions, but I can warn you that your background is probably not what you know. And, judging by my elven eyes, you are not entangled in a curse. ”
I asked, "What do you mean?" ”
The old man replied, "Your body is too complex to fit the physical characteristics of a human being. Don't be angry when you say it, I think that your family lied to you, most likely, you were not born of human beings, at least not of ordinary people. You'd better have a good talk with your family to find out who you really are, otherwise, your current situation may not be alleviated. Of course, as I promised, your symptoms will not kill you, on the contrary, they will protect you. It's just that not feeling the sun, and being weak for a long time, may lead you to another life. ”
I thought for a moment, and my face was solemn: "You mean I may be a demon?" ”
The old man nodded in agreement: "That is to say, but the so-called demons in the mouth are just identities imposed on them by humans because of their fear of the unknown. In fact, many creatures that are said to be demons are kinder than humans and understand the warmth and coldness of the world better. For example, if we elves are met by chance, we will also be regarded as monsters, but in fact, our ancestors are older than today's humans, know more, and understand the world order better. What I mean by this is that you don't have to worry about who you are, you just have to stick to the right version of yourself. ”
Master comforted me and said, "This is just speculation, not the final conclusion. Don't overthink it and find a time to talk to your mom first. ”
Liu Jingao said: "Unlike ordinary people, it is not necessarily a demon, or a god is not necessarily. In this legend, isn't there a saying that a god descends to earth? Maybe the fourth master, you are born of immortals and mortals. ”
The God of Wealth felt reasonable, quite happy, and said, "Hey, maybe it's true!" I've always wondered if even if the things in that book in your house are true, then where did the ancestors in your family learn so many strange skills. Eighty percent, your family is really some half-immortal characters. It's just passed down to your generation, and your family wants you to live a normal life. ”
I had doubts about my own birth before, but when I say it solemnly today, I am even more skeptical. Looks like it's time to find a chance to talk to my mom. I never saw my dad when I was a child, and when I was an adult, I spent a lot of time with my mom, maybe they really hid something from me.
I had a lot of thoughts in my heart, but I didn't want to show them. smiled: "It's finally not in vain, what I'm most worried about is that I'm afraid of dying suddenly, and now, I've finally dispelled my worries." As for who I am, I'll talk about that later. In addition, aren't we going to find the Twelve Star Stone for Boss Su? The Twelve Star Stone can awaken the mysterious prophet, who knows the past and the future, and must also know my past and future, and when the time comes, I sincerely ask him for advice. ”
"Twelve Star Stones?" When the old man heard this word, his face was very ugly: "You are going to find the Twelve Star Stone?" ”
I asked, "Do you know anything about the Twelve Star Stones?" ”
The old man relaxed a little and replied, "I heard it." I heard that this 12 star stone has the effect of changing the fate of human beings, and it is extremely mysterious. You'd better be careful, these ancient relics are best not to be easily touched, they are too dangerous. ”
I smiled and said, "I'm afraid I've long been caught up in the mystery set up by some ancient characters, and if I don't take the initiative to find something, I will be forced to find it." I saw it, everything went naturally, the soldiers came to block, the water came to cover the earth, and now that the chess game has been opened, I must finish it. ”
The old man nodded approvingly, and then asked, "I've done what I can, and you promised me ......"
The God of Wealth said, "What did I promise you?" You said that you should take care of the disease, but you didn't even see what the disease was. ”
"Nope. Although he didn't take a good look at my physical illness, he did take a good look at a piece of my heart. I promise you, I will do it. I asked the old man, "You wood elves will leave an immortal branch when they die, right?" ”
The old man took out a small piece of withered branch from his waist, handed it to me, and said, "This is what I kept more than 100 years ago, he was originally a child, but he was bound by the general environment of this era, and he could not wake up, and I don't know if he can still sprout and take root." "By the way, you seem to know that the elves and other ancient creatures have entered the stage of frequent extinction, so do you know why?"
I took the withered branch and looked at it, and replied, "This is the natural law that all creatures on earth cannot escape, and no matter how powerful the creatures are, they have their deadlines. In this era, it is no longer enough for you creatures who rely on primordial breath to survive, and I am afraid that your living environment will become worse and worse in the future. Today, I will help you to revive this dead branch, but in the future, it will depend on your own fate. However, once this dead branch is awakened, as long as it is not killed, it will blossom and bear fruit, and it will give birth to new life, and you must protect it with all your heart. ”
