Chapter 257: Disgusting
At this time, Archimedes' teeth began to sharpen. After he hugged the mage's neck, he began to bite wildly! Blood splattered from the mage's neck in an instant, and the surrounding grass suddenly turned bright red!
After the mage's head was completely torn open from Archimedes' neck, Archimedes' eyes suddenly rolled, and then he began to wander over the crowd on the other side!
After that, Archimedes jumped very quickly and immediately captured another young mage! Then Archimedes grabbed the mage by the neck and forced the young mage to open his mouth wide. Then he turned his head and kissed the young mage!
For such a high-impact scene, Roland is really a little incompetent. When he realized what was going on, he couldn't help but feel a chill again.
In fact, Archimedes wasn't kissing the young mage, but was holding him down the throat and pouring something into it. The filamentous substance gushing out of Archimedes' gaping mouth faintly emitted purple light, and was crawling towards the young mage's mouth little by little!
Due to the large size of these black things and the viscous liquid, they look disgusting. And the young mage was also rolling his eyes at this time, it was obvious that he was unconscious at the moment!
Roland soon realized that if he continued like this, the mage would be completely hopeless, so he subconsciously wanted to prevent this from happening. But at this time, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked in front of him.
Roland looked at it and found that the person who was holding him back was Dingenier, so he had no choice but to give up.
In this way, after Archimedes and the mage's bodies were entangled and undulating for a long time, Archimedes finally fell from the mage's body.
At this moment, Archimedes' half body was lying straight on the ground, stiff and unable to move. The young mage, however, suddenly raised his hand and wiped the corners of his bloody mouth, revealing a sly smile again.
Those present soon realized that something didn't seem quite right.
Sure enough, the young mage's eyes had changed from before, less confused and afraid, and a little more cunning like Archimedes.
The young mage looked down at his arm, then checked his body repeatedly, and suddenly laughed gloomily: "What is the body of a young man, hehe......" As he spoke, he brushed his hair, then raised his head to look at Sharon, and smiled contemptuously: "Dragon Knight, you are staying here with such good intentions, don't you just want to see the scene of my body changing?" Now that you've seen it, is this the same as you imagined? β
After listening to the young mage's words, those present quickly understood what was going on. One by one, they all began to show frightened expressions, and they couldn't help but retreat.
Roland only felt like an initiation! Combining Lan Ke's discovery with the clues in Roland's mind, the truth becomes clear at once!
The strange portraits found in Archimedes can finally be explained!
It seems that for hundreds of years, Archimedes has survived by constantly replacing his body! And those portraits are all painted with the bodies that Archimedes once possessed!
It's just that since Archimedes can easily change his body, why did he use his original decaying body for so long?
If the time on the portrait is correct, then Archimedes' body should be a hundred or dozens of years old, which has long exceeded the limit of human beings, so this is inevitably too incredible, right?
Moreover, Roland did not think that Archimedes' ability to replace his body had anything to do with the crystal. Because Archimedes has been changing his body for at least two hundred years, and the appearance of that crystal is only twenty years!
The young mage, now Archimedes, took a few steps forward slowly, and then picked up the soul crystal on the ground. While stroking the soul crystal, he said to everyone: "Over the years, I have had enough of the old man's dry body! It's just that there is no good next home, so I can only be wronged for a while...... I guess you all think it's strange why I would keep that old man's rotten body and not find the next target for parasitism? β
Sharon asked expressionlessly, "Why?" β
"Hehe, that's naturally because the human body is too fragile...... As I changed my body again and again, I began to notice that the shelf life of those bodies began to get shorter and shorter, such as thisβ" As he spoke, the young mage lifted his cuffs, and under the wide robe, large black spots began to appear on his arms, the same black spots on Archimedes as before.
"In this way, what does it make if I change my body or not? What's more, the title and wealth inherited by Archimedes' body are not possessed by any body. β
Sharon looked at the young mage's arm and didn't speak, but fell into deep thought.
The young mage continued, "Of course, in order to prevent this situation from worsening, I need the power of the soul crystal. I think the origin and function of the soul crystal, in fact, as a dragon knight, you should know very well in your heart, right? As he spoke, the young mage picked up the soul crystal in his hand, suddenly bit it hard, then chewed it, and finally swallowed it!
And with the crystal entering the abdomen, the dark spots on the young mage's arm began to slowly disappear!
So that's it!
That crystal actually has the effect of delaying the aging of the body!
Looking at the young mage chewing heavily, Roland only felt a chill, as if he was facing a monster now.
"As a human being, what's wrong with living your life well? Why do you keep dwelling on these evil ways? Sharon glanced at the young mage, his brow furrowed slightly.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Sharon's words just now, Archimedes' emotions suddenly became excited. His expression began to become hideous, and he suddenly rushed to Sharon and yelled at her, "Entanglement? Are you embarrassed to tell me what it means to be alive? You know a! β
Archimedes then took a deep breath, then rolled his eyes again, and his tone finally became a little more normal. He spoke, "Dragon Knight, Dragon Knight, how can an immortal race like you understand the human race's desire for immortality? For me, just a few decades of life is not enough for me to see the whole world! Besides, why don't you grow old and die, and we humans can only live for a few decades? Is it because I was born a human and you are God? I would like to ask what is the basis for all this! I hate it so much, I hate why I'm not a Protoss, why? Why! β
"So, are you doing all this so that one day you can have eternal life?"
"Yes, I've been waiting for an opportunity. Originally, I thought that I could achieve the goal of eternal existence by constantly changing my body. Unexpectedly, with the increase in the number of replacements, the shelf life of those bodies began to become shorter and shorter, and now they can't even last a few days. Later I found out that the demons seemed to have a special interest in kings. So I thought, if I can take the king's body, and then ask the demon to give it eternal life, then I can live forever in the world, and still have the supreme power in the entire continent! But who would have thought that Augustine had always watched the king very closely, and I would never have a chance to take his body. Later, Augustine also died, so what is the use of me wanting the body of a little kid like the king? But luckily, this is when you appeared. β
Speaking of this, Archimedes suddenly grinned, and the expression on his face was extremely gloomy. And the distance between him and Sharon is only about half a meter now.
Roland was taken aback and thought to himself: Could it be that Archimedes' real purpose is actually Sharon's body?
