Chapter 253: The Great Discovery

Due to the visit of the dragon knight Sharon, the king was busy receiving her in the palace, so this morning's court meeting of the ministers in the palace was temporarily canceled and postponed.

As a big celebrity in front of the king in the eyes of everyone, Lan Ke is also rare to be able to take a leisure, and he stays in his mansion all morning, thinking carefully about something.

Although he seemed fine this morning, Lan Ke wasn't going to indulge himself that much. After all, he still has a lot of things to work out, so now is definitely not the time to take it lightly!

On Lan Ke's desk were the portraits and lists that Xiu had brought to him the night before, when he visited in the middle of the night. The content of the list, after being checked and confirmed by Lan Ke's subordinates, can already be confirmed to be true. And the secrets in those inexplicable portraits, Lan Ke still can't understand them.

So Lan Ke temporarily put those portraits on the side of the desk, and began to recall the interesting little details he found the night before, and at the same time, Lan Ke also wrote some suspicious points he found on the paper in front of him at random, to see if he could find some clues and connections from them.

The first suspicion that Lan Ke discovered was that the night before, when the king and the prime minister Archimedes faced the corpse of the demon, the contrast was slightly larger.

Because this incident was related to the demon, and neither of them reacted normally, so Lan Ke speculated that both the king and Archimedes knew at least part of the inside story about the demon.

So what's the inside story?

Lan Ke felt that this was very likely to be the handle that Archimedes had mastered to contain the king, but Lan Ke still didn't know what this handle was.

The second suspicion is the so-called soul crystal that Archimedes lost as mentioned before. Although Lan Ke had never seen the soul crystal before, since this matter involved both the Holy Court and the Dragon Knight, then Lan Ke certainly had reason to believe that this soul crystal was definitely not a simple thing, and it could be believed that the incident the night before was also caused by the soul crystal. So, where did the soul crystal go? Lan Ke had never seen this so-called soul crystal from beginning to end, and the people of the Holy Court hadn't mentioned it, so it seemed deliberate, right?

The third point is that Archimedes' ecstatic appearance is really intriguing. Although from a general point of view, it makes sense for Archimedes to feel that he had the opportunity to devour the soul crystal alone because the demon was dead, but his performance at that time was too much, and the whole age spot on his arm seemed to be shaking off, which was a little too excited? This also made Lan Ke suspicious.

Thinking of this, Lan Ke suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong, but he couldn't say what it was for a while, he just felt a little weird.

Lan Ke couldn't help but think back to what Archimedes wanted to transfer Lulu two days ago, and secretly thought: Could it be that the witch also has something to do with this incident?

In addition to the fact that the witch has lived longer than humans, what is so special that Archimedes will try to get her?

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly flashed through Lan Ke's mind, and then he was a little shocked by his own thoughts!

However, Lan Ke quickly regained his composure, and then he grabbed those inexplicable portraits and began to flip through them quickly, wanting to verify his conclusion!

And after flipping through all the portraits, Lan Ke suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! Because Lan Ke found that the truth really seemed to be similar to his guess!

Lan Ke found that the messy portraits were all written with the year. Similarly, the portrait of Archimedes also has the year. Archimedes in the portrait looks to be in his twenties and less than thirty, but the time marked on it is almost 100 years ago! If the time in the portrait is not wrong, does it mean that Archimedes is actually one hundred and twenty or thirty years old?

Although Archimedes was a bad old man, he certainly didn't look as old as he was in a hundred years. And now that there are very few old men on the entire continent who can live past a hundred years old, how could Archimedes be so old?

At first, Lan Ke thought the same way, but it was a clerical error at that time. But he soon discovers the reason why he felt weird before, and that is the age spots on Archimedes' body!

Roland couldn't help but recall the appearance of age spots on Archimedes' body again, the distribution area is very wide and large, ordinary people in their seventies, will not have such a large area of markings, which can only show that Archimedes' real age is actually bigger! And those markings on Archimedes' hands, in addition to the large area, seem to be a little purple and blue, and the spots on his face are not the same...... Could it be that Archimedes also has some secrets hidden in his body?

Lan Ke's brain began to spike, trying to extract all the information from the other people's portraits. The people in the portrait belong to all walks of life, and the age is also different, and the earliest one can be traced back almost 200 years. It was a farmer who probably lived less than forty years before he died. The second is a merchant, who painted 190 years ago, and this one lived for more than 60 years...... Gradually, Lan Ke discovered the law between these portraits, and there was really a problem!

Lan Ke found that if we arrange these portraits by year, it is easy to find that the year of the death of the previous person is the time when the portrait was painted by the latter person, and it often happened in the same year!

If you connect this timeline in series, it is a very complete period of more than two hundred years, and the time period in between is neither repeated nor vacant, as if a complete period of life, as if the lives of these men are continued one by one......

Wait a minute!

Sharing Life, Passing on Continuity?

Lan Ke was a little shocked by his bold guess, but he felt more excitement in his heart at the moment! If Lan Ke's guess was correct, then Archimedes was probably a monster who had lived for hundreds of years! In the past few hundred years, he has been constantly exchanging his body for the purpose of eternal life! But what a terrifying thing!

And the way to achieve this process is most likely the soul crystal they said earlier. Thinking about it this way, Archimedes' intention to capture the immortal witch seems to have become very clear!

Thinking of this, Lan Ke couldn't help but flip through the lists, and then stopped his gaze on one of the names on the list. The corners of Lan Ke's mouth showed a meaningful smile, and he couldn't help but think: This kid, his luck is really good.
