"Mine, what do you mean?" asked William, staring at the jelly-like quivering liquor in his glass. Biquge www.biquge.infoe^ saw that his sense of smell had been developed so much that he could even sniff out the cháo dampness emitted by a glass of water dozens of meters away. But to his surprise, the glass did not emit any moisture.
This means that this glass of wine will enter your stomach, melt into your bloodstream, and then become a niào liquid and sprinkle on the land of Faerun. Don't worry, you deserve it. The magical items made by my teacher are precious, but they are all foreign objects after all. Taste this, the secret treasure from Jotunheim, the land of giants, the water of the Mimir Spring, which can also be called the tears of Jörmangund. Tabari tapped her finger at the counter and said with a smile.
William looked up into the eyes of the NV Arcanist and asked, "What's the name of this wine?"
Manarita said, "The Fountain of Mimir represents a sacred source of wisdom and knowledge, which can make the drinker wiser and wiser." I still can't forget her intoxicating fragrance. There is only one thing to keep in mind, a person can only drink the water of the Mimir Spring once in his life. The greedy will lose themselves and become a puppet of Jörmangund. ”
The little skeleton floated up to the counter and retorted sharply, "Shut up, Manarita, you're going to frighten my guests." Don't worry, young man, Jörmangund sheds tears only once every century, and the cost of getting such a thing is far greater than you think, and no one can be rewarded with such a treasure twice. And as far as human lifespan is concerned, I'm afraid you can't wait for the next chance for the Fountain of Mimir to gush out, unless you're willing to give up your life and become an immortal like me...... The starter"
William picked up the glass and sniffed the liquid with his nose, which seemed to be restrained by some kind of force, moist but not leaking. William couldn't be sure if this strange glass of wine was a poisonous wine, after all, he had experienced too many tricks, whether it was in his previous life or after Faerun, trouble always naturally and unnaturally found him.
William brought the cup to the side of the chun as if he wanted to drink it, but when he was about to eat, he raised his eyes to meet the expectant eyes of the three (ghosts). William put down his glass and said, "I'm not used to drinking, it affects my reaction speed. Help me change a glass of sea buckthorn puree with ice, and I'd like to try the specialty drink of the Enauoch borderland. ”
"As I said, this young man is a cautious fellow—" The man who spoke laughed very much, but unfortunately it did not work on the other three people present, the undead were inherently unenchanted, Tabari had a headdress of resistance, and William's strong will was strong enough to resist the charm of the "Lord of Time".
Tabari also shook her head and smiled, "William, you are really suspicious. This is the spring of wisdom, one of the most precious yào medicines in the world, and there are countless existences in the world that fight for your life and death in order to get the spring of wisdom, so why do you give it up?"
William said indifferently: "It's just a glass of water and wine, even if it's precious, what can it be?
The little skeleton "bartender" said, "You're really right. Life, wisdom, and years, the three most precious sacred springs in all of Torrell. I don't need to say much about the role of the Fountain of Life, you have also seen the changes in Manarita just now. Time is a fountain of time, which can change the speed of time. As for the Fountain of Wisdom, she is the crystallization of the wisdom of all soul life, you should have seen the seed source of the god of dongxue, that thing is made with the Fountain of Wisdom, it is really a vicious design. By drinking the water of the Fountain of Wisdom, you no longer have to worry about being controlled by the seed source, and of course you will lose the opportunity to become a so-called 'god'. ”
William pointed to the cup and asked, "This is the fountain of wisdom?"
The skeleton "bartender" said, "This is only a small part of the diluted drop of the fountain of wisdom, and even the dragon cannot directly withstand the power of a whole drop of pure spring water, because our souls are too fragile to be easily torn apart by that powerful 'sublimation'." ”
"Sublimation?" William had heard of this strange word for the first time, it was not a lingua franca, but an ancient Nethriel language, a special arcane term.
Nearby Manarita explains: "'Sublimation' – that's a great change. Ugly to beautiful, weak to strong, dark to light, evil to righteous, it is impossible to describe her greatness, it is a metamorphosis from the deepest part of the miracle of life, from low to high, like a demon worm metamorphoses into a Tanali, a shallow sea leech metamorphoses into a dragon. ”
"Ever since a god-king from another world discovered the Fountain of Wisdom, there have been many wars for her, and the Age of Apocalypse, the Gods, and the Twilight of the Gods have not stopped for a moment on the bloody battlefield of the bottomless abyss. ”
"Well, it sounds like it's very precious indeed. But I don't understand why you are willing to give it to me? I'm not a child, and I don't believe in pie in the sky. Tell me, what are your intentions?" said William, sneering coldly.
Tabari said, "Attempts—of course we have attempts. You have seen the Sage of Abbrando, the god of Dongxue, and I believe you have some understanding of His power. Do you know what the biggest difference between gods and mortals is? not **, not magic, not false magic, but the quality of the soul. In the depths of the Enoch Desert there is an army of ants that eats the Death Army, which is so numerous that it can kill an army of thousands of men and is fully armed, but they are unable to deal with dragons (an army of 100 men can fight them), as well as creatures that are just as inherently soul-threatening as dragons. The difference between us and the gods is like the difference between the Legion of the Dead and the dragons. ”
"For some time to come, the main enemies you face are the Sages from the Outlands and other beings with the gift of soul coercion, and you can't always rely on the power of the Kohl's Horn against them, unless you are willing to take it from your sister for yourself. Therefore, the Fountain of Wisdom is your most reliable choice. Rest assured, we have found a way to use the Fountain of Wisdom safely thousands of years ago. ”
William asked with some uncertainty, "Is it really okay?"
Manarita encouraged, "Of course, if you don't believe it, you can try, try a small bite first, and if it doesn't work, you have time to give up." ”
William thought that with his control over qi and blood, even if he drank a cup of sulfuric acid, he could spit it out in time, so he picked up the silver cup and took a small sip. He didn't want the wine to be as cold as ice, and he couldn't help but shiver, wrapping around William's soul, as if he wanted to turn it into an eternal stagnation.
Pain and pleasure are like countless fine sand sugars falling into clear water, rubbing and dissolving. It is a tempering of the soul, a tempering of ice and fire.
