Chapter 3 Choice
Nearly two hours have passed after reading more than a dozen volumes of beast skin books, and Ba actually hasn't come over yet, Su Ming, no, it should be said that Sutum was a little surprised. It seems that [Vermere soup] is not so easy to make.
[Vermir Soup] is a special decoction created by the prophets of the predecessors, which can improve the physical fitness of ordinary people and strengthen the spirit of people. If you are lucky enough to take it for a long time, ordinary people can also awaken various abilities and become a member of the Prophet.
In this era, a prophet means a superior position, great power, and abundant resources, and once a prophet is made, there will be all kinds of people to attach to and become his followers.
If you are lucky, after the death of the prophet, you can even become an angel and become an immortal being.
Of course, not to mention becoming an angel, it is also difficult to become a prophet. The entire Red Light City has been established for more than 100 years, and the number of prophets, including the four prophets who founded the city, is less than ten.
As you can imagine, the difficulty of awakening the prophet.
In this way, [Vermir Soup] is also an extremely precious remedy, and only the Prophet can obtain it.
Although the Disteni family has a secret recipe for making [Vermir Soup], due to the limitation of resources, the quantity and quality of the production are not ideal, and it does not make the family awaken the prophet. Otherwise, it would not have declined.
Originally, the method of boiling this secret decoction should be in the hands of Sutum, and it should not be known to Ba, but now there are only two people left in this family, he and Ba, and Ba's loyalty has been unquestionable since he was a child, so the work of medicine naturally falls on Ba.
"Master, the medicinal soup is ready. β
While Sutum was thinking, Ba walked in with a bowl of pottery with a strong fragrance.
"Okay, thanks. β
Sutum said, taking the bowl, sniffing it, and then drinking it all.
This decoction does have miraculous medicinal properties. The moment Sutum drank it, he felt a hot breath emanating down his stomach and intestines to his internal organs, and the blood veins around his body, which immediately made him feel warm all over his body and full of strength.
"Huh?"
While intoxicated, the effect of the drug did not end.
Another warm current emanated from his stomach and poured directly into his brain.
Sutum only felt that his spirit was at peace like never before, and the whole world suddenly fell silent, as if time had stopped flowing at this time.
All at once his five senses seemed to reach their limitsβhis skin could clearly feel the temperature and humidity of the air, and its flow and direction, and his eyes could easily see the wooden cabinets in the room, and the cracks and textures of the stone walls. Many rats, even tiny creatures, kept making slight noises that came to his ears through the cracks in the planks and walls. At the same time, he could smell a constant stream of scents and fishy smells, the smell of young seedlings and biological feces escaping from the ground.
The sensitive five senses are constantly transmitting a large amount of information to Sutum.
Suddenly, his eyes went dark, and his mind entered a mysterious place.
The place was black and white, so vast that there was not even a concept of time and space, just a portal of light and a raging black flame.
The flame is in the front, and the light gate is in the back.
In the raging flames, a delicate bronze mirror looms.
This place is Sutum's spiritual world, and the black fire, and the bronze mirror hidden in it, are the source of his demonic power.
And the gate of light--
It is the passage to the original world.
Giving up the black flame and thinking directly through the light gate, Sutum will naturally return to the original world and become the original Su Ming. Everything in this world was like a dream to him, and he forgot it in an instant.
Fuse the flames and Sutum will become a complete demon, existing as a part of this world. At that time, the changes in the spiritual world will crush the light gate, and he may never return to the earth.
These are two very different options.
Sutum's mind reached this place, and it naturally received these messages.
"To be an ordinary person and return to the original world? or to turn into a demon and feel everything completely different? The choice is indeed the most nerve-wracking problem. β
Sutum's mind had countless thoughts in an instant, but he didn't make a choice.
He could feel that the power of the demonic fire was continuing to increase, and at the same time, the power of the light gate was slowly declining, and he didn't have so much time to think about it.
Airplanes!
His body shook, and Sutum's mind detached from the spiritual world and returned to his body again.
Feeling the temperature of the pottery bowl in his hand, everything in the spiritual world just now seemed to have passed for a few seconds and minutes.
"It's really inconvenient not to have a clock. β
Sutum shook his head, moved a little, and felt that the strength of his body seemed to have increased a little, but his five senses were not as sensitive as just now.
Ba still stood quietly beside him, like a huge stone statue. The rudimentary beast skin waistcoat revealed two arms as thick as the thighs of ordinary people, with knotted muscles and a metallic hue, and there was no doubt that there was great power in them.
To be honest, Sutum really wants to try his strength with him now, but in Ba's heart, the original Sutum is just the quality of an ordinary person. In order not to show his feet, he temporarily dismissed this idea.
Putting down the bowl, Sutum turned his mind and asked, "Ba, what important things have happened in the city recently?"
This is the indirect questioning of Ba, some of the things that Sutum was concerned about.
Ba said honestly: "Back to the master, there are indeed a few important things in the Red Light City. β
"The first thing is about the Finn family, the lord of the city, Monte Finn, has recently gathered a team and is preparing to go to the Holy City, supposedly to find a great physician who can cure the Finn family's congenital weakness...... In two days, it's time for the team to go......"
"Congenital weakness?"
Sutum squinted, and a young man with a pale and feminine face appeared in his head, like a ghost, and spat out a human name, "Carrom Finn?"
A deep disgust ensued.
Karrom and Sutum are about the same age, and they can be regarded as growing up together, but their relationship is very bad. When you think about it, the descendants of the same four prophets, Carrom and his Finn family, still retain the glory of their ancestors, ruling the Red Light City, high above, while the Istney family is declining, and no one can feel good.
Of course, the most important thing is that Sutum was not less bullied by Carrom when he was a child.
For some reason, the members of the Finn family are far weaker than normal people, and Carrom is even weaker, even gasping for breath when he walks. Therefore, he was hostile to the descendants of the Prophet who were physically healthy from an early age, especially against Sutum, who Karrom often bullied the young Sutum for various reasons.
If it weren't for the prestige of the Istney family, which still had some influence, I am afraid that Sutum would be crippled if he did not die.
Later, as they grew older and became more and more powerful, the two had fewer and fewer opportunities to meet, and there have been no conflicts in recent years. However, this hatred has remained in Sutum's heart.
"It's good, the emotions and memories that belong to Sutum are also stimulated. β
Feeling the anger and the urge for revenge in his body, Sutum was not surprised, "With a little more stimulation, all the memories and emotions of this body can be completely digested." β
Ba, who was narrating, felt the anger of his master, and then looked at him with a calm expression on his face, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and continued:
"The second thing is that more than a dozen strong men disappeared from the city for no reason, and even the bodies were not found...... According to the city guards, there may be demons near the Red Light City, so everyone should be careful to get out of the city. β
Sutum's heart suddenly, "Could it be that what 'I' did was discovered? No, I shouldn't have found out, now it's just a suspicion." But there were only six skeletons in the chamber, but a dozen disappeared, so where did the rest go?"
Except for the Prophet, no one could see through the true body of the demon, and Sutum was only slightly surprised, but not afraid.
"Be careful, ba, don't go out of the city for the next few days, wait until it's safer. β
Sutum said casually, but saw Ba's strange expression and a little tangled expression.
"What's going on?"
"Master, one more thing...... This month, the quota of property belonging to the Istoni family has not been delivered......"
Ba said in a low voice.
"What?"
Sutum's anger suddenly came up, and he said coldly: "Ba, make it clearer." β
