"This is a gift that you think is valuable and worth bothering me about?" One of the only two Marquis of the Gold Federation, the current Marquis of Dark, Rayson Duck looked at the small crystal bottle, his eyes full of displeasure, "A bottle of alchemy...... Can it make a divine weapon, or can it give me an indestructible body, or can it be colorless, tasteless, and undetectable by poison-detecting spells, but it can kill people?"

The fat man standing in front of him with his waist bowed was covered in sweat, half from running all the way, half from nervousness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He knew that the adult he served had a bad temper and would easily get angry if his pleasure was disturbed, but he also knew that if he didn't deliver this precious potion to the adult in the first place, it would be even worse if he was known afterwards.

So he stood there tremblingly, and waited for the Marquis of Duck to finish his anger before he whispered in a respectful tone, "Sir, this is a bottle of life-prolonging potion. ”

"Life Extension Potion?" Marquis Darker looked at the bottle with some confusion, the pale red clear potion inside the bottle looked ordinary, not at all like it could prolong life.

"Yes, it prolongs life. To be precise, it allows the user's body to temporarily stop aging, and the effect lasts for about ten years. ”

After listening to the fat man's introduction, Marquis Duck couldn't help but be curious.

As one of the de facto rulers of the Gold Federation, he has amazing power and wealth, and naturally he can also get a lot of treasures. But even then, things that can prolong life are not so easy to obtain. Even for him, this is true.

Theoretically, it is not difficult to extend life. Whether it's the fruit of the tree of life in the primeval forest. Whether it's the Fountain of Youth in Dragon Cliff, or find a group of powerful mages to hold a life-sustaining ceremony. are able to effectively prolong life. But these methods are quite difficult to put into practice, and the tree of life has long since disappeared with the fall of the elven gods. No one knows where it is, the Dragon Cliff is not hard to find, but the mortal king is a bit suspicious of death when he peeks into the treasure of the Great Dragon Emperor, and as for finding a group of mages to keep him alive...... The cost is high enough to make the vast majority of kings feel distressed, and it is beyond the capacity of most countries.

After all, the king is noble, but he has an heir, and he wastes a huge fortune in order to make a bad old man live a few more years? The state is not the king's private property! Even if he is willing to do so. Those who share the power of the state will not allow it either!

In this world, it is not difficult for the strong to live long, but it is even more difficult for mortals to continue their lives, even kings.

So, is this potion really as miraculous as his subordinates say?

"Fat Tiger, to be honest, I don't believe it. He said, "If it's such a miraculous thing, some great mage would have sent it to me." You...... Gee. ”

He shook his head, a little disdainful.

The fat man, who was despised by his own boss, smiled bitterly and explained in a low voice: "This is what just appeared in the auction house today, and the people from the Void Mask Church brought it to auction. It is said that His Majesty is in a good mood. If you make such a potion, will you auction two bottles? ”

The Marquis of Darke perked up and immediately believed a little.

Prolonging one's life is of course very difficult for mortals. But what is it to an all-powerful deity? His Majesty the Void Mask has vast powers, and even among the gods, he is particularly powerful.

If it's His work. That's not surprising at all.

It's just that......

"What did Your Majesty of the Void Mask do with this?" he said as he picked up the crystal bottle and played with it.

"His Majesty's ideas have always been wonderfully unique, maybe he just found it interesting......"

The speculation of his subordinates made the Marquis of Duck laugh dumbly, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be quite reasonable—how many of the things that His Majesty did were normal? How many were easy to understand?

Would a normal person build a playground out of the snow and ice? Of course not!

"yes, after all...... He was a jellyfish. "It's not a good idea for humans to speculate on the minds of jellyfish." ”

After saying that, he put the crystal bottle on the tray held by the maid beside him and stood up.

"Come with me, let's visit the Church of the Void Mask. ”

“...... This is indeed the potion auctioned by our church, which was given by our Lord Himself. A priest from the Masquerade Church of the Void carefully examined the bottle and the potion inside it with a spell, and finally said with certainty, "That's right, it's a life-prolonging potion." ”

Marquis Darke smiled, picked up the crystal bottle that had been uncorked, and drank the little potion in one gulp.

"Grassy and slightly bloody. He smacked his lips and said thoughtfully, "Could it be that the raw material is dragon blood? ”

"The divine power of my lord is not something that mortals of my generation can speculate. The priest replied with a smile.

The ruler of the Federation of Gold Coins nodded, closed his eyes, and sensed the condition of his body with his magic ability that was better than nothing.

After a while, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and a smile spread across his face.

It wasn't very clear, but he did feel something change in his body, the feeling of aging that had been increasing since the age of fifty was gone.

This is not to say that he has suddenly regained the vitality of his youth, but he really feels that he has stopped aging, as if the power of time has lost its effect on him all of a sudden.

"It's amazing!" he said happily, "how many more of these potions are there, and I'll buy them all!"

"Lord Marquis, birth, old age, sickness and death are iron laws that cannot be disobeyed by all things, and even my lord can only delay this process a little. The priest, who had already received instructions from Sui Xiong, replied, "For the same person, a bottle of potion is enough. If you take it again after 10 years, you will only have a third of the effect. When I took it for the third time after 13 years, it almost didn't work. ”

Marquis Duck frowned, but he wasn't much disappointed - being able to live for ten more years was already a very remarkable reward. As a successful ruler and businessman, he has always been well aware of the principle that "you can't be too greedy".

But on second thought. He had an idea again - if he traded this magic potion with those big people of equal status to himself, he would definitely get extraordinary benefits!

It's just that...... He asked tentatively, "Such a potion." Did His Majesty Void Masquerade distribute a lot?"

"Not much. The priest replied, "Your Majesty said that there are not many people in a country who can afford this medicine, so He has distributed a few bottles in every nation's capital, and that's it." ”

Marquis Duck sighed, "Sure enough! I can think of anything, and there is no reason why a god can't think of it." ”

He didn't have any special regrets, and told him that if there was another such potion, he would be sure to keep a bottle for himself, and money was not a problem.

Although the second bottle can only prolong his life by three years. But three years is also remarkable!

A similar situation took place in the capitals of the countries of the main plane on this night, and the high-ranking people were all shocked by the pale red potion of this bottle, and they were ecstatic to throw out a large sum of money.

Not only that, but because of the effect of the life-prolonging potion, the high-level people in various countries have a very good impression of the Void Mask Church. Even the Kingdom of Holy Angels, which has always been xenophobic, has rarely shown kindness to the Void Masquerade Church.

"Mortals are so fragile!" Looking at the mountain of gold coins, Sui Xiong couldn't help but sigh, "It's just a mere ten years of life." Just make them so crazy!"

"Fortunately, it's only ten years to live!" the God of Justice shook his head and sighed, "If it's longer, I'm afraid you'll be in great trouble!"

"What trouble can I have?"

"Between our brothers, we won't talk about the old man's nonsense that 'life and death are the order of the world'. I'll just say one thing!" the God of Justice looked at Sui Xiong with a very serious expression, "Rich and powerful people can live for more than ten years. That's not right in itself! If they could live longer, even indefinitely. Then brother, I'm going to stop you!"

Sui Xiong was stunned and pondered for a while. Nodded silently.

The God of Justice is right when he says that for the rich and powerful, "death" is almost the only thing equal to the poor. If they are able to live indefinitely because they are rich and powerful and can afford enough life-prolonging potions, then even this last equality has been extinguished.

In that case, not only will the God of Justice be dissatisfied, but even Sui Xiong himself will not be able to look at it......

However, the current situation is not so bad after all, and if it is only a life extension of more than ten years, it is not a serious problem.

After all...... It is common for the rich and powerful to live better and longer than the poor, no matter what world it is, and there is nothing wrong with it.

It's not good to look at money in everything, but it's not necessary to hate the rich.

"What is going to be done with all this money?" he asked, looking at the mountain of gold coins.

"You can do whatever you want. The god of justice said nonchalantly, "Money is such a thing, you can use it if you have it, and forget it if you don't have to use it." If you can't think of a use for it for a while, it's a good idea to pile it up as a bed. ”

"Huh?" Sui Xiong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of a famous legend.

So, he thought about what the money would be used for.

A few days later.

"Don't! Don't! Let go of me!" "Hail clung to his beloved futon and shouted, "I'm going here! I'm not going anywhere!

Probably because of the potential of the motivation, Gerald couldn't pull her away after several tugging, and he was so tired that he was panting.

Seeing this, Sui Xiong had no choice but to take action himself, and rolled her up along with the futon with a huge tentacle.

"Woo woo! You don't count! I said that I would see the maze ......" Hail howled and cried thinking that he was going to lose his good job, and his tears hit the ground one by one, splashing a lot of dust.

A few minutes later, they came to a newly built cave in Sui Xiong, which was similar to the previous one, only deeper. At the back of the cave, there is also a teleportation array that leads to the ground, which can be easily accessed.

"It's your new home. Sui Xiong put the hail down, "I'm just going to help you change the bed." ”

Hail's eyes widened as she looked at the pile of gold coins in front of her, almost larger than her body, and although her tears had not yet dried, she was already laughing wildly.

She jumped out with the agility that even Sui Xiong was startled, lay on the pile of gold coins, and pawed through the pile of gold coins with her paws as if she were swimming, laughing merrily.
