001: Young souls and old shells

Next Chapter

The meteor dragged its long tail across the dark night sky, pulling a crack in the night sky, bright and beautiful... It's a pity that it's fleeting.

The cracks left in the air faded, and the night sky regained its tranquility, except for the sound of the eternal waves crashing against the cliff face, splashing several meters high, and some even crashed up the cliff, where a tall black tower stood alone.

"Ahem!ahem!" two old coughs rang out in a lit room in the tower

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Roshi withdrew his gaze from this poignant scene, and then he closed the floor-to-ceiling windows, the temperature at night was a little low, and the sea breeze was strong, and he could not bear any pain now.

Turning back into the material room, he began to move a one-meter-high wooden barrel towards the corner of the wall, which was soaked in warm nutrient solution with the eyeballs of 400 dhara eels, which were left over from today's experiment by Wizard Agal.

The weight of more than 100 kilograms was really heavy, almost making him use up the little strength he had left, and the rotten shoulder bones seemed to be pulled, so painful that he took a breath, he hurriedly sat on the wooden barrel and gently stroked it.

Directly in front of him was a long wooden table with a mirror on it, reflecting an old face in the light of the few candles left.

Looking at the wrinkled white face in the mirror, a trace of sadness rose in Roshi's heart.

Like a dry bark, crawling with ugly wrinkles, and large irregular black spots can be seen on the neck and wrists, dull and ugly, and it would be maddening to look at it.

For an 85-year-old man, it is normal to have these things, and as an old man, he should see through these falsehoods as early as possible.

It's just that for Roshi, he is not an old man on the verge of death, but a young man who is full of vitality, and his mind is still stuck in that young shell.

Yes.

Roshi was not the original owner of the body, but a visitor from an extraterrestrial plane from Earth, a young man who was not yet 18 years old.

An accident three months ago cost him his young life, but the vanished soul traveled through time and space to possess another dead body.

I thought it was God's favor to give him a chance to enjoy life again, but when he opened his eyes, he realized that it was just the beginning of a nightmare.

The original owner of this body is 85 years old, and it is a miracle that he has survived to this age in this backward society where there are no antibiotics and viruses are rampant, and this may be thanks to the black tower where he lives, and he often receives some waste materials from witches and apprentices.

Despite this, this body has long reached the limit of its life, and the new soul injection is only a lingering breath, Roshi can clearly feel that life is losing bit by bit, the frequency of his heart beating is less than half of the previous one, and his breathing is very difficult, every time he sleeps at night, he always has to be careful that he will not wake up the next day, just like the original owner of this body.

I'm not young yet... Why are you old?

Sighing softly, Roshi got up and left the materials room with heavy steps, he had to keep his spirits up tomorrow when he was going to Wizard Maury's bookstore to check the materials.

Luo Xi couldn't accept it, and he was not willing to step into death like this, and it was this magical world that also left him a glimmer of life.

As described in the story, after being reborn after changing souls, he will inherit the memories of the original owner, and it is through this memory that Roshi knows that this is a world where supernatural powers exist.

The world is dominated by a group of people called wizards, who can summon thunder and lightning, a simple spell that can make a person rot and melt before their eyes, and... Have a long and long life!

Yes.

The mysterious wizard has broken away from the human realm, even if it is just an apprentice, he has twice the lifespan of a normal human, and a powerful wizard can survive for thousands of years!

This is also Roshi's only hope... Although this hope is extremely slim.

It is not easy to become a wizard, and it is as difficult as a fish in the sea flying into the starry sky.

Its first prerequisite is to have the physique to become a wizard, and this alone will sieve out nine out of nine humans in the Dragon Wing Continent.

And after stepping into this threshold, you still need to have enough talent, and only less than one percent can really plant the seed of power and officially start your career in the witch world, and Roshi is the one who has been eliminated.

The original owner of this body was originally the child of a baron in the kingdom of Stanny at the southern end of the Dragon Wing Continent, and 72 years ago, the wizard in charge of recruiting apprentices in the Black Tower passed by his hometown and found that he had the potential to become a wizard, so he brought him back.

It's a pity that for 72 years, until the moment when his life came to an end, he didn't succeed in planting the seeds of strength.

It's not that you don't work hard enough.

In fact, the original owner of this body is very good, although he was born in a wealthy family, but since he was a child, the family style has been strict, since the moment he stepped into the Black Tower, he put all his energy into the "Low Level Meditation Manual" distributed by the Black Tower, forgetting to sleep and eating, among the children of the same period, is the most diligent one.

It's not enough to work the wizard's path, and only three of the 86 children in the same period are still alive, and only one has actually become an apprentice!

'Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to find some valuable information from Wizard Maury's bookstore, and won't be as disappointing as Wizard Harvey's. ’

If humans who are not talented enough want to become wizards, there is another way - resources!

This magical world called Vera has many magical things that subvert Roshi's cognition, some of which are so precious that even official wizards want to rush to improve the efficiency of meditation, the strengthening of mental power, the improvement of physical fitness, and...

What Roshi longed for the most, the one who could change its fate, the rare treasure that could plant the seeds of power for a group of people like him who were not talented enough.

......

As soon as it was dawn, he got up, and the old man's sleep was not very good, and Roshi thought that the main reason might be that the little time left was a wake-up call for him.

After ascending the spiral staircase, Roch walked into the jumping platform, and on the edge of the platform was suspended a one-meter-square stone slab, which is common in the Black Tower.

The Black Tower is huge, the main tower alone covers the size of a football field, with a height of about 400 meters, and the buildings are built against the inside of the tower wall, and in the center is a completely hollow jumping space.

Contrary to its spaciousness, it was sparsely populated, with most wizards traveling, with only a dozen resident wizards, and the rest of the apprentices and crowds like him who came to train, making the entire tower just over 2,000 people.

In such an open space, if you rely on your legs alone, it would take a whole day for a wizard or apprentice to visit each other.

He stepped on the jumping slate and announced his destination, and the slate carried him towards that side, and after flying upwards for more than 100 meters, he stopped at the second platform on the left-hand side.

After coming out of the jumping room, there is a long corridor, the sides of the corridor are covered with oil paintings, a bright red carpet leads straight to the front, and there are some potted plants on the left-hand window sill, which looks very elegant.

This floor belongs to Wizard Maury, who comes from an aristocratic family, so the decoration is a bit more stylish than the other wizards in the tower.

A fork in the hallway appears at the front of the hallway, with Wizard Maury's apartment on the left and the bookstore on the right.

Despite his eagerness, Roshi still walked to the left first.

The wizarding profession is full of a lot of experimentation in every step, and it requires a lot of information and knowledge, and it takes a lot of money and time for wizards to collect them, which are accumulated by wizards throughout their lives.

The wizard is very cautious about this knowledge, even if it is just some information, without his consent, the defensive spells in the bookstore will teach any wizard who dares to approach him a painful lesson.

Occasionally, if other wizards are given some of the publications they borrow, the wizard himself will certainly be present himself, and this must be based on the fact that the wizard himself receives an interest of equal value.

Roshi is just a country nobleman in a remote country, and of course he can't take out any treasures that can make the wizard generously open the door to the bookstore for him, and the reason why he was able to enter the Wizard Maury's bookstore is because he is a special existence in the Black Tower...
