Chapter 19: The Truth
The day after the two of them returned, little Lori Victoria had to face the most difficult time of her year, and she was about to be sent to the convent for her annual routine. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The most painful thing for this lazy girl is the month-long painful practice every year, she has no interest in practicing spells, and she has not memorized the opening volume of the first volume of the "Light Bible" so far. However, because in the thousand-year-long history of the church, the actual role of the saint is getting weaker and weaker, and now it is only a symbolic position, and the Pope loves this little niece very much, so everyone also turns a blind eye to her.
In previous years, Miss Dora would follow her during her regular practice, but this time she took a long vacation, because she wanted to go back and see her father, who was seriously ill.
So Victoria had to say goodbye to Li Wangxing and Dora, two of her best playmates, and reluctantly went to the convent.
After seeing off the two women in Naga Palace, Li Wangxing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and now no one was watching.
That night, he opened the wooden box he had found on the mountain.
The first thing I looked at was the two old books. The two books, with a black cover, lay quietly in the box, welcoming his new master, who had seen them again after a gap of three hundred years.
Pick up the thicker black book and open the title page, on which is written the title, "Codex of Truth".
Turning back to the page, there is a letter written by Zhelun himself, the master of drawing talismans who wrote a beautiful and ornate court font, each stroke as beautiful and elegant as a rune. Li Wangxing lightly held the page and read the letter:
To the future of you:
There is no eternal truth in the world, only eternal people who are constantly pursuing the truth. So said Thales, the great Grand Arcanist.
When you read this letter, my body must have turned to dirt, and the traces I left in the world are gone. I spent three whole years trying to find the way to eternal life, when I never felt the passage of life so clearly, and now that I think about it, I am a poor, ridiculous old man. When there is nothing left around you to cherish anymore, what's the use of staying in the world.
At the end of my life, I often reminisce about the past days, I was born to follow the great Thales to explore all the phenomena of the universe, I walked barefoot in the world, walked through mountains and seas, cities and fields. I have chanted the greatness of Thales at the banquet of the kings of the orc kingdom, and I have astronized a lost elf under the sacred tree of Gaia in the Forest of Dreams. I have searched for mermaids in the reefs of the deep blue islands, and I have also ridden a horse to see the Rizhao Shangri-Shangri Snow Peak in the Hulun Prairie. I've visited ancient ruins in the sand of stormy sandstorms, and I've escaped under the devil soldiers of Shadow Town in the Valley of the Damned......
If someone asks me what is the meaning of my life's running, then I will answer that even if I become a handful of dirt, as long as it is paved on the road to the truth, and the people of the future will rush through it in great strides, it will be the greatest happiness.
I have recorded what I have learned in my life in this book, which records the results of my research in astrology, talismanism, and pharmacy.
There is another book that I have painstakingly found over the years, the relics of the Circle Masters from a thousand years ago, the Ring of Morbius, the Vial of Claydonen, the Flower of Auguste, the Eye of the Nibelungen, and the broken Sword of Damocles. I named it "The Lost Stars." Thousands of years ago, the magic circle masters were true celestial masters, they were like the bright stars in the sky, and I saw the true mystery of the runes from their magic circles.
It is a great pity that even with all my life's effort, I have not been able to restore the Sword of Damocles completely, this magic circle is so powerful that it can destroy the city in an instant, and perhaps its damage is a kind of luck for this world.
I left the Night's Watch behind, and it has helped me out of trouble countless times.
I left behind three spatial scrolls that can teleport people thousands of kilometers away, and they are my magic weapons for escaping.
I left a star map, a reflection of the stars that I had recorded after observing the starry tracks over the years, with the help of my old friend Nier.
Finally, there are the few potions that I have spent my life refining, and they are all my proudest creations. I've made countless potions, and in the end I've only left these few bottles.
Tears of the soul, the potion I refined with the tears of the elves and the ice and snow of Shangri Peak, there is only this bottle in the world, which can repair most injuries and illnesses in the human body in an instant, but it is extremely harmful to the spirit, so use it with caution.
The water of life, fused with the beast core of dozens of demonic beasts, is a potion that I have successfully refined for ten years, which can stimulate unprecedented potential within an hour of taking it, and make the strength skyrocket by more than ten times, but it will come at the cost of lifespan, and if it is not used properly, it will even die violently.
The river of years, this potion can induce the fastest growth of the human body, making people age in an instant, all human body functions and signs of life quickly wither, maybe nothing is more frustrating than old age, but it only works for women.
Floating Dream, the essence of thousands of sweet flowers of fragrant dreams, one drop will make people fall into an infinite sleep, no matter what, it will not be able to wake up, only let him take one more drop of potion will wake up, the use must be strictly controlled The amount must be strictly controlled, take more than one drop, even if you wake up, it will cause permanent mental and memory damage.
That's all I have as an old man.
It wasn't until the end of my life that I realized that the more clouds there were, the more beautiful the glow became. The glow that emerges from the clouds is brilliant and colorful. Farewell, beautiful world!
When I was traveling around the mainland, I saw an epitaph on an unnamed tombstone, which was my last warning to you:
When I was young, I dreamed of changing the world, when I matured, I realized that I couldn't change the world, so I shortened my horizons and decided to change only my country, when I entered middle age, I found that I couldn't change my country, when I was in my twilight years, I decided to change only my family, but it was not possible. Now, as I lay in bed, dying, I suddenly realized: if I only changed myself at the beginning, then I could change my family, with the help and encouragement of my family, I might be able to change my country, and then, who knows? Maybe I could change the whole world.
The Arcane Path is the path of truth.
May the truth guide you forward.
The letter was signed by the Truth, Cole Gelen.
Li Wangxing absorbed a lot of information left to him by this wise old man three hundred years ago, and was silent.
Sha Mai Phil exclaimed heartily beside him, "This arcanist is truly a wise elder. “
Li Wangxing nodded, but did not speak, he felt a little ashamed of his previous misunderstanding of this arcanist, he had deduced from several papers that he was a person who was nostalgic for the world and greedy for glory, and these sincere words in front of him undoubtedly gave him a resounding slap in the face.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
At the bottom of the box was a small red potion with a small note attached to it.
The note read: The blood of time, the half-finished product, the scales of the golden viper, the feathers of the phoenix, and the roots of the sacred tree of Gaia. Efficacy: The body and shape can be permanently fixed at the moment of taking the potion, or it can maintain eternal youth, and the specific effect is not known if it has not been successfully refined by predecessors.
Li Wangxing picked up the bottle of red potion and shook it slightly.
The blood-red liquid flows inside the glass bottle.
