Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Immortal
However, what Luna Tees said next made Roy a little ruined:
"Yes, the Philosopher's Stone, the blood-red stone refined with living life. β
Roy's expression seemed to change from extremely excited to suddenly extremely ugly: "No...... Wouldn't it?" Roy stumbled and nearly collapsed on top of Genossis.
Generosis quickly helped Roy steady and asked, "What's going on?"
Roy held his head in his hands and asked with a broken face, "Sister Lunatis, do you mean that the Sage's Stone is a stone made of fresh life as raw materials and alchemy as a refining method?"
Luna Tees nodded.
"How could it be...... How can this be......"
It hit Roy too hard.
The Philosopher's Stone, as a product of alchemists, can be immortal and can infinitely catalyze the process of alchemical reactions, and for most alchemists, it is a faith-like existence.
But now someone has told Roy's alchemist that the Philosopher's Stone is a sinful thing refined with living life, and you let Roy not collapse.
Luna Tees continued, "If a living person devours the Philosopher's Stone, they will probably become immortal. Like me. β
Everyone looked at Luna Tez in shock: Immortal?
Genosis suddenly recalls the first time he met Geraint, the knight who chased Geraint, Douglas.
"Ghost Knight, this kind of person who devoured the Philosopher's Stone and has an immortal body is called a Ghost Knight, right?" asked Geneross.
Luna Tez looked a little haggard and said, "Yes. β
Genossis' pupils narrowed, and he knew what the so-called immortal body meant.
Like Douglas, it is not "unkillable", but "infinitely resurrected".
Roy shook his head suddenly, his expression became a little sober, and asked, "Sister Lunatis, did you ever see a synth in that mysterious laboratory at that time?"
Luna Tez thought about it for a moment, then shook her head, "I've heard of synths, but I haven't seen them at the time. β
Roy gasped.
Roy asked because Roy had always suspected that the synths they had encountered before might just escape from the explosion of the mysterious laboratory that Genosis had said. However, Luna Tez couldn't see synths in the mysterious lab at the time, so she ......
Roy came to the conclusion that the synthesizer that Roy encountered in the previous days could basically be judged to be Frey's pursuit of Roy.
Luna Tez sorted out her emotions for a moment and said again: "The main research content of the mysterious laboratory near Marco Town is how to refine and purify the Philosopher's Stone, as for its fundamental purpose, I think it may be that someone is pursuing immortality. β
Blake's face became very ugly, and at this time he broke through Geraint's possession and asked, "So, do you know the mastermind behind this mysterious laboratory?"
Luna Tees shook her head and said, "The only person I can know about being involved is Kane Tesla, but he is not the mastermind behind it, in a sense, he is just a pawn to be used. β
Emerging from his shock, he slowly asked, "But, Sister Lunatis, why did you participate in this experiment?
Experiments are carried out by humans, and the people who are subjected to experiments will not be happy as long as they are normal people.
Lunatise's face became a little gloomy at this time, and she said hatefully, "Hmph! This is not due to Kane!"
When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt strange. What does this have to do with Kane?
Luna Tees continued, "I was originally Kane's fiancΓ©e. β
When the "......???" everyone heard this, they all fell silent, and they were even more incomprehensible.
"Because, Kane was afraid that I would become an old woman when I got older, so he ......" Luna Tez couldn't say any more, and tears flowed out of her eyes.
Everyone understands it: the immortal body of this so-called Philosopher's Stone not only has a very strong self-healing ability, but also can maintain eternal youth.
With Roy's emotional intelligence, a very low-level question that should not have been asked was asked by him: "Sister Lunates, how old are you?"
Luna Tees shook her head and said, "I'm twenty-two years old, and I was involved in this experiment when I was seventeen, so my appearance is forever seventeen. β
"That's all I know about the mysterious laboratory near Marco's town so far. Luna Tees sighed.
Luna Tees really didn't say much, nothing more than two points:
First, the refining material of the Philosopher's Stone is a living life.
Second, after devouring the Philosopher's Stone, you will gain immortality and will not age.
Geraint took possession of Blake's body again, sighing, "Unfortunately, I have no memory on me now, and when we find my fragments, my memory should be able to recover somewhat, and I should have even more strange news to tell you by then." β
After Blake returned to normal, regardless of the cold sweat that kept breaking out on his forehead, he said, "Damn, Angel Imperial Kingdom, does anyone want to live forever?"
Roy looked at Blake like a three-year-old child, shook his head, and said, "Don't you know, once a creature like a human being reaches the pinnacle of power, it will naturally miss eternal life. β
Genosis smiled bitterly: "It's useless to tell us this, I'm not a savior, and I can't stop this from happening." β
Roy's face was gloomy, and he retorted, "But think about it, what kind of people are these people who are used to refine the Philosopher's Stone?
Genosis froze again, then said resolutely but hesitantly, "If so...... Then I'...... When you have the ability, you still have to stop it!"
It was just a small piece of information provided by Luna Tees, but everyone fell into a heavy mood.
Blake's eyes turned into bright golden thunder eyes again, and Geraint said: "Okay, don't be depressed, don't be depressed, those things are not our turn to take care of now, what we have to do now is to be a mercenary and improve our strength." β
"I am telling you this, not to stop you, but to let you know why you are trying to retrieve my fragments for me. It is I, not you, who will save the world. β
But obviously, everyone didn't listen to the last sentence that Geraint said.
If you don't have the strength, you can't even be a mercenary.
It's not our turn to save the world.
After the Black Flame Illusion dissipated, the atmosphere inside the tent was very gloomy.
"Don't think too much, let's go to bed first. Genosis shook his head helplessly. With that, Generosis picked up Elusa and returned to their tent.
The problem is that after listening to such a heavy content, where can everyone sleep?
..................
Midnight.
Blake suddenly woke up, and when his eyes opened, he had turned into a brilliant golden thunderbolt eye, possessed by Geraint.
Geraint looked around, waking Roy up. It was the first half of the night, and Genosis was on guard outside. Roy doesn't like to make a fuss himself, though it's strange why Geraint wants to wake himself up.
Now Roy has understood that once Blake's eyes turn into brilliant golden thunder eyes, it is possessed by Geraint.
Seeing that Roy was not surprised, Geraint motioned for him to get up and go out with him.
When Genosis saw the two, he wanted to say that the time for the change of guard had not yet arrived, but when he saw that Geraint was also up, he was silent.
Geraint whispered, "I'll wake them up, and we'll take advantage of the opportunity to find my artifact fragments." β
However, Luna Tees and Elusa did not fall asleep at all because of their heavy mood.
When they saw Geraint coming, they were about to ask what was going on, but they saw Geraint put his right index finger in front of his mouth: "Shh!"
Then Geraint approached Luna Teese and whispered, "Miss, you can stay here later, pretend to sleep, and if there is any movement from the strange mercenaries next door, you will wait for the opportunity to act." β
Because Luna Tees always wore a black cloak and a black veil, Wence and the four strange mercenaries did not recognize her. If the average mercenary is on a joint mercenary mission, like those four unknown mercenaries, the mercenaries will be used to calling them "savages".
Seeing this, Luna Tez roughly understood, and asked her to cushion back, that is, to hold the retreat.
Later, Geraint took Genosis, Roy, and Elusa to the side of the camp, where he picked up the bushes and saw a cliff.
The cliff looks down to a depth of about fifty or sixty meters, and if you fall like this, you will definitely die.
Geraint searched inside Blake's ring and found several thick hemp ropes. He took one of them, put it on a nearby tree, tied it firmly, and threw the rope down.
Geraint whispered: "Xiao Jie, Roy, you two go down first, there should be no demonic beasts below, and after you go down to confirm, Elusa will go down again." β
The crowd understood that it was Gerant's desire to find his artifact fragment.
Generosis was the first to come down, he took out his torch and lit it, and then took out the treasure map that Peter had obtained in the Void Ring in Skunbagh and looked at it first.
He then compared the current map.
"Uh...... there seems to be treasure here......" Genosis followed the general direction of the map, looking towards the swarthy cave ahead.
"Is there a fragment of Geraint in there?"
At this time, Roy also slowly climbed down the rope.
Geraint and Elusa are on the cliff, and Elusa is about to go down by herself, but is stopped by Geraint. Geraint said, "I'm not too worried about you going down alone, wait. β
Geraint then took out another rope, which had a sheath at one end, and Geraint put it on Elusa so that even if Elusa didn't let go of her hand enough, Geraint could use another rope to hold her on it.
So, Genosis and Roy climbed down on one rope on their own, while Elusa was slowly lowered by Geraint with two ropes.
Geraint breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Elusa safely descend to the bottom of the cliff, and he climbed down a rope like Genosis.
Geraint also came to the bottom, and looked at the dark cave in front of him with Geneross, and said, "Uh...... I really didn't think that there would be a piece of debris around here......"
