Chapter 206: The Art of Immortality

Mona's circle was about to be drawn, and there were terrifying elemental fluctuations in the air, and Hansel was caught in the battle between heaven and man. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"My father he ...... Gone again?"

"Yes, he left again, as dashing as he had done before. I remember it was an afternoon, it was my birthday, and I picked a bouquet of flowers for myself. Because I know he won't remember this kind of boring day for him, but as long as he is willing to accompany me, he will be happy!" Old Mona's whole voice had a sweet taste in it, and Hansel gradually understood. The so-called love and hatred are really not pure venting, but painful realization.

"I searched the village like a madman, but I found no trace of him. Later I learned that he had taken all my savings and gone to pursue his adventurous dreams with the maps he had found in ancient books!" Mona's voice at this time made even Hansel feel cold to the bone, and even though he wanted to defend his father, he couldn't say anything.

"I found the imprints left by the map on the desk where he usually collects information, which are left by ink penetrating the paper. I relied on that little bit of clue to find the whole continent. Finally, he came to the ruins of an ancient city called Gangtua, and obtained a spell from the tomb of the royal family to manipulate the magic vine. ”

"Gangtua?" Han Sell's heart couldn't help but be shocked, isn't this the Terran capital they have been trying to find all along.

"I was on the verge of death, and I just wanted to find a place to leave quietly!" Mona slowly recounted her past, "but when I returned to the village, I found that it had already been reduced to ruins by the wave of industrialization. In desperation, I had no choice but to enter the Black Forest and build a hut by myself. Only at certain sunsets do I occasionally think of the man named Leon, and I still can't forget him!"

"Was the witch group of Cacher already established at that time?" asked Hansel suddenly.

"Kahe? Indeed, they were originally cultivators from nearby villages. Having lost their home in the joint purge of the Holy See and the Council, their hearts are full of hatred, and they only want to take revenge on the sanctimonious monks!" Mona did not mind Hansel interrupting her narration, "They have approached me many times, but I had no desire for revenge at the time, so I refused! ”

"It's my parents, right?" said Hansel, with some bitterness.

"Huh...... I never expected to see him again in my life, and I have fantasized about meeting him countless times. Sometimes I think that he may be married and have children, and I may be able to face it calmly!" Mona stopped there, bowed her head and let out an eerie laugh, "but I really can't, I've never been like that moment." I want to destroy, I want to kill, I want those people to die......"

"My parents...... They shouldn't go back......" Hansel could only sigh helplessly, he didn't want to blame Mona, he just felt that his parents were indeed a little too much in this matter.

"In fact, it can't be up to them, the Holy See and the Council have joined forces, and there is still room for us aliens to live in the outside world. They are hiding, maybe in his heart, there has never been a place for me, how can they care where I live!" Mona understood this. "It's ridiculous that Leon introduced me to your mother Encore as a best friend. I was dying by then, and your parents were still young and beautiful!"

"Why, they ......" Hansel didn't know much about his parents, and in his simple memories until he was seven years old, Leon was more like a farmer than a cultivator.

"Where do you think the stardust in my hands came from, this powder transformed from the heart of the elf has an extremely abundant vitality, it can be said that it is the essence of the whole body of the elf, how can I get it from a wandering witch all over the world. Mona sneered, "It was from that time that I realized that Encore's origin is not simple. At the same time, I couldn't stand the pitying eyes of the dog man and woman looking at me more and more. So I took the initiative to find Kach, joined the witches of the Black Forest, and got a way to extend my life. ”

"The witch's own way of prolonging life, you mean...... The heart?" said Hansel. It was also the recent series of accidents that made him lose his vigilance, but he also fought at the grassroots level of the Holy See for several years, and saw many strange schools and pagan beliefs around the world. Witches, in particular, although the Great Purge of wizards had long since passed when he was the military chief of the Black Forest of the Holy See. But how could the Black Forest, the base of wizards fighting the Holy See for thousands of years, not know about this group.

In ancient times, sorcerers could completely elementalize their bodies through arduous practice, just like the feathering immortals of Kyushu. It was not until the Middle Ages that the attainment of immortality through simple practice gradually became an unattainable mountain. Fortunately, at this time, the ancient gods were hidden, and although the aura of heaven and earth was getting thinner and thinner, countless spiritual plants were still growing in the deep mountains and rivers. As a result, there are two ways of immortality throughout the world, that is, collecting spiritual plants to refine immortal elixirs or gathering the power of secular beliefs. In Kyushu, these two methods are called the Waidansendo and the Incense Shinto, respectively, while in the West, they are the alchemy represented by the shamans and the faith path represented by the Holy See. Just like the elixir of immortality that has been circulating in Kyushu since the pre-Qin period, there is a similar legend in England that is the highest achievement of alchemy, the Philosopher's Stone, known as the Philosopher's Stone.

In ancient times, as the beliefs of secular society were gradually occupied and divided by several large religions, those spiritual plants were gradually plucked out. Cultivators who have no hope of immortality have come up with countless extreme and dangerous ways of immortality in their predicament. In the case of wizards, there are two extremely risky methods.

One is like the witch Kach whom Dawn first met in the Black Forest, using the spell of soul splitting, forcibly dividing his soul into many parts, and lodge on different creatures or dead things, as long as there is a fragment of the soul left, this practitioner is not considered to be truly dead. The other is like Mona in front of her, using the soul transfer spell to condense a life box in her lifetime and infuse her soul source into it. As long as the life box is not destroyed, the practitioner can achieve a certain degree of immortality.

Both of these methods are extremely dangerous, and there are no one in a hundred who can do it. Even after success, there are advantages and disadvantages, similar to the Kärcher method, because there are many doppelgangers, the survival will be relatively high, but it is easy to be confused and delirious. And like Mona, although she will remain rational, how to protect the life box is a big problem.
