Chapter 42: The City of a Thousand Wishes
Walking on the edge of the cliff, Naxi felt a little hairy, and on both sides was a bottomless abyss, and if he accidentally stepped on the air, he would fall to pieces.
It's hard to get here, but don't let some slight mistakes put you to waste.
The winding path leads to an eerie-looking castle. It's weird because it's covered in frenzied symbols and abstract and distorted graffiti. The gloomy atmosphere around him also made Naxi shudder, and he was vaguely worried that another disaster might await him at the end.
"Is there really a god in the City of a Thousand Wishes?" asked Naxi again, unable to believe that the Supreme Beings who only existed in mythology could stay in such a strange castle.
Nubis said without looking back, "Ah, that's right. They didn't lie to you, there is indeed a guy in the City of a Thousand Wishes who can grant your wishes. The mouth of the guide elf has no respect for the so-called gods at all, but some contempt.
"What if he refuses what I wish?" said Naxi worriedly, hoping that his dead companions would come back to life. Ever since Dulles was eaten by the puppet tunnel worm in order to save himself, he has been injured once by the departure of each of his companions. If the people who stay in the City of a Thousand Wishes can really fulfill any wish, then they will definitely do whatever it takes to bring them all back to life.
Nubis didn't answer his question directly, but was slightly stunned and said, "It's okay, he will always find you to make a wish that he can fulfill." ”
Naxi didn't understand what Nubis meant for a while, and he was a little dizzy at the bottomless abyss, and he didn't care about it anymore.
The truth of everything will be clear when we reach the City of a Thousand Wishes.
Approaching the thick and thick gates of the city, Nubis stood in front of a ring of blue glow. He said to Naxi, who was still in a daze, "Come here, this gate can't be opened." ”
Nashino followed and stood inside, and after a burst of blue light, the figures of the two men had disappeared.
When the subtle sense of time stagnation of teleportation wore off, Naxi found himself in a dimly lit place filled with alchemical vessels.
Although there were bottles and jars all around, Naxi looked at the layout and realized that this place should be a council hall that only a large castle can have, and why it had become such a messy place for alchemical vessels.
Naxi took a slow step forward, and suddenly the dim lights around him brightened, and the spotlights fell on him at once. At the same time, a loud salute sounded in his ears, and the flowers and streamers bloomed in an instant, which made Naxi a little unexpected.
There was also a follow-up that made Naxi even more unexpected, and a subdued tone began to chant an unknown verse:
"Carrying the hopes of all
Embark on that long journey
The brave are not afraid of life and death
The reason for the brothers who are kind-hearted
Overcome obstacles and move forward
Let the blood and tears be spilled on the road
Straddle over the corpse of your companion
Somebody will get there
Because loneliness is the eternal fate of heroes
When the characteristic recitation came to an abrupt halt and the surrounding lights slowly became less dazzling, Naxi saw a handsome young man dressed as an alchemist slowly walking towards him.
"Congratulations, magician, you have passed all the tests of the Thousand Wishes Realm, and you are about to receive a gift sponsored by the City of a Thousand Wishes, do you have anything to say now?"
Some nonsensical opening remarks made Naxi a little uncomfortable, and he rolled his Adam's apple and said slowly, "Which one are you?"
Although it is possible that the person in front of him is the god who Nubis said can grant wishes, Naxi always felt that this frivolous alchemist was not as powerful as he was rumored.
The alchemist was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "You really can't stand the surname." Normally, those adventurers couldn't wait to say their wishes as soon as they entered here, as if those words had tormented him for a world long. Their painful expressions of being tortured by the ** they created always make me never get tired of looking at them. ”
The alchemist deliberately sold a pass: "As for who I am, I almost forgot to introduce myself." My name is Loki, and I'm the owner of the castle you've seen, and the titular ruler of the Thousand Wishes."
Before Loki could finish speaking, Nubis, who was standing behind Naxi, snorted. Even Naxi didn't even hear the snort, but Loki noticed it.
"I'm talking in name but not in fact, do you have any opinion on Lord Nubis?" Loki said to Nubis, a smile that seemed very fake, making Naxi feel uncomfortable.
"Hurry up and hand out the prizes, don't talk so much nonsense. Nubis said slowly.
Unexpectedly, Nubis was no longer as respectful as before, and Loki also felt a little inappropriate. Although this damn little guy has been at odds with himself a lot of the time, he has never embarrassed himself like this.
Loki shrugged, shook the flowing long-haired man, and said, "Alright, as the great Lord Nubis has ordered, I will now begin to award the final reward to the only person who has cleared this adventure, the magician Naxi. ”
Although Naxi was curious about how the guy named Loki in front of him knew his name, he was relieved at the thought that this frivolous guy might be a god-like existence.
Now he didn't have the heart to know everything about Loki, he only cared if the person in front of him would really fulfill any of his wishes as the rumored one.
"Say what you want, magician. Loki stared into Naxi's eyes and smiled and added, "You'd better figure out what you're going to wish for, because you only have one chance." But I've already figured out what you're looking like. ”
"Yes. Naxi took a step forward: "Can you bring those of my companions back to life?" Dulles, Kissma, Raikkonen, Gonze, and Miss Lidona, all of whom died in the Land of a Thousand Wishes through no fault or inaction. ”
This was Naxi's wish when he learned that he had cleared all the challenges.
"This," Loki hesitated, and said slowly with a grim face, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. To resurrect the dead, it's not that it's impossible, it's too troublesome. ”
"What's so difficult about that?" asked Nashi eagerly, knowing that things weren't that simple.
Loki said with a straight face: "Not to mention that the whole process will consume a lot of my divine power, and it will take countless hours just to talk to other gods. After all, life and death are not areas of my control, and I have to make all kinds of troublesome deals with the goddess of life and the god of death so that I can get their souls back. ”
With that, Loki glanced at Nubis, who had his mouth cocked. After discovering that the Guide Elf had not exposed his lies, Loki continued: "Why don't you change your wishes, you have to be considerate of the gods, too. To be honest, I'm having a bit of a relationship with the Grim Reaper, and he won't let me get these souls that have belonged to the Dead Country. ”
Naxi's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he almost fell, but he still held on. Although he had already been mentally prepared for such a result, he was still a little unacceptable at the moment when his hopes were dashed.
Thinking back on what happened along the way, Naxi couldn't help but feel a little confused, as if those familiar faces were just a dream, and when he woke up, he was left with only himself.
"Have you figured it out, Mr. Nashee?" Loki reminded the man in front of him.
Naxi clenched the magic wand in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Then let me become the ** master admired by the world." ”
If he wasn't that useless junior magician, then Lidona wouldn't have left him.
If you become a ** teacher, then you can avoid these tragedies that could have been prevented in the future.
When he heard Naxi say that he should become a ** teacher, the corners of Loki's mouth twitched slightly, and he immediately said:
"Young man, let's talk about the resurrection, who were you trying to save just now?"
