Chapter 15: Morgan the Alchemist
Rachel looked at Reddick in dismay.
"I saved Hastan with a blessing in disguise, but I endured unimaginable pain. ”
"After that day, I changed my surname 'Riddle' from my previous king to 'Heartbreaker', even though my father, on his deathbed, repeatedly stressed that I must never betray the kingdom and my family. And do you know why?"
"Because the only request of the Sirius God is to make me give my heart. Pull Ring said unhurriedly.
At this moment, the sky was overcast, and the world shrouded in gray style seemed to have lost all its brilliant colors all at once, and the two people in the hall seemed to feel something, and at the same time turned their heads to look outside the hall.
"It's going to rain. Rachel Heartbreaker said calmly, but at some point something unusual appeared in his sly gaze.
"Trade your heart for my power. Ra Ring said, his voice began to flutter slightly, but Reddick on the side was still listening, as if fascinated.
As soon as he said this, a miraculous and incredible force lifted me into the air. At that moment, I could clearly see that his mouth full of sharp fangs slowly spewed out a black poisonous mist, and swirled around my body like a cloud of smoke. ”
"I opened my mouth wide and my heart was beating uncontrollably, and I thought that my expression must have been terrified. At that moment, several black mist pierced my chest like sharp blades, and I lost the ability to sense my heartbeat forever. ”
"The black mist swam through my chest for a while, then carried my heart out of my chest, and then smoothly returned it to the Phantom's hands like a demon's retracted tentacles. Strangely enough, however, I didn't feel much pain during the process, and my consciousness was clear, and I realized that I had lost something irreplaceable forever. ”
"The smoke around me gradually condensed into a square black object, its size and appearance was about the same as a stone, the 'phantom' stretched out the index finger of his right hand, and then this black stone instantly drilled into my chest at a lightning speed, I let out an unbearable scream of horror, and the sharp pain spread throughout my body in an instant, and then the wolf god put me back on the ground. ”
"He said that the black object he had given me was the 'Demon Heart', and as long as it existed in me, I would always have an iron heart and would not let any chance of victory slip through my fingertips. ”
"Then he asked me to send someone to the Silverwing to find Redick the 'Betrayer', who is your help. And let me go back to the clearing in front of the castle and examine the 'Mystic Legion' he had bestowed upon him. ”
"He also told me that you essentially have tens of thousands of friends and companions who share your goal, and that from now on, you have only one goal, and that is to follow the power of the Sirius God and conquer this humble world to the end of the sea of stars. ”
Then suddenly the thing in front of me began to shake violently, as if the fragile mirror had been beaten with force. ”
"After a while I found myself lying alone on the grass in the suburbs, I struggled to get up, but found that my body was still able to move freely, and I followed the instructions to the open space in front of the castle, and from then on I got to know Saturst and Martha. ”
"The two of them claim to be by my master's command, and to be faithful to the kingdom of Hastan. I looked behind them, and the black press was more or less a warrior riding a wolf, or a magician with a staff. ”
"But these are phantoms, and only while the two Martha and the others are still conscious can they fully exert their effectiveness in battle. ”
"So I ordered the 'Mystic Legion' to be incorporated into the upper echelons of the army, and then returned to the castle when I suddenly received a secret letter from afar. ”
"Fandal, from the Holy Wing Empire, wants to cooperate with me in the murder of the king of the Silverwing Kingdom: Athor III. ”
"I realized that the time had come for the great kingdom of Hastan to sweep away all its decline and be revived on a day of rejoicing in the sun. ”
"Today, Silverwing's royal city is in ruins, but the master's ultimate plan is still far away, and as the one who has benefited the most from us, you must stand firm for Silverwing's position at this moment. ”
Pull Ring said all this, his face tired, and then he turned around and waved his hand slightly at Reddick behind him.
"If you are truly faithful, you will one day dominate until the moment you reach the top of the world. ”
"Remember to use as much as you can, messengers. ”
After a moment of silence, the storm cleared, and in the blink of an eye, time had quietly come to five years later.
Starting from the Star King City in the center of the Silver Wing, crossing the Aid Heights in the east, and then crossing the steep Dreadnought Mountains, you can see a huge lush basin in the territory of the Holy Wing Empire, which is home to half of the rivers in the entire Holy Wing Empire, and the abundant water and developed irrigation have created the reputation of "the land of abundance" here.
In the southeast corner of the Land of Abundance, there is a rich village rich in the rare herb "dragon leaves", where people work hard and collect dragon leaves for life's unexpected needs.
Under the clear sky, dancing and staggering are all free souls of life.
The warm spring breeze blows through the fields, and people's hair is lightly fluttered, like beautiful flowers quietly blooming in the forest.
The clouds are rolling up, and people stop to linger among the pure mountains and rivers, but suddenly they suddenly have an epiphany of love and the true knowledge of life.
Time is drifting, no matter when and where, all life longs to stop by the crystal clear spring water.
Elegant and comfortable, elegant and light, everything here is calm and beautiful, luxurious and restrained.
This is the legendary Dragon Leaf Village, the inheritance of nature, the prosperity of all things, here is like the reflection of the stars thrown into the sea, at a glance, which makes people feel excited and lost.
Ai Suyan was running freely in the forest, he was already ten years old at this moment, and he had unknowingly spent five springs, summers, autumns and winters in Longye Village.
Not far behind him, the Sword Saint Morton stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes kind, and his face kind.
This kid has a strong literary comprehension, and now, it seems that he has reached the age when he should learn swords...
At the same time, Ai Suyan picked a dragon leaf in the forest, and then took a sip.
It's so bitter... But why, after boiling into herbs, can it cure all diseases?
He looked back and saw that behind him, Master Morton was talking to an unidentified man.
He hurried over to find out.
"Hehe, may I ask Master Mo, how much does this Lou Longye beside you cost me?" the man asked Morton.
Ai Suyan ran over, and the unknown man suddenly let out a "ahh
At the same time, Ai Suyan also looked up and observed him up close.
He wore a round hat on his head, thick and tattered clothes, and his thin face was like a dead leaf that had been drained of moisture, full of wrinkles and spots of all kinds.
Then he held out his hand to Morton: "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Morgan, I am Chinese New Year's Eve five years old, and I am an alchemist from afar. ”
If you look closely, his right hand is not ordinarily rough, and it can't even be described as "ugly", as if it has been hardened by drugs and turned into a scarred appearance.
"I heard that the dragon leaf here is a pure variety, so I wanted to buy it. ”
Morton nodded: "A total of a hundred gold coins." ”
Morgan smiled.
"Since the launch of the Western Alliance and the Holy Wing Empire two years ago, the number of young men here has dropped dramatically. The environment is also a lot deserted. He said lightly.
Ai Suyan couldn't help but look up: What did he say this for?
Morton suddenly glanced at Ai Suyan, and then sighed slightly.
"Yes, the alliance between Silverwing and Hastan has angered almost all human kingdoms on the continent, so even most of our young people here have been transferred to the front line. ”
"Well, let's get down to business, in fact, I'd like to recruit a temporary apprentice from you to help me make a large bottle of the 'Universal Cultivation Potion'. ”
Morton couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he pondered for a moment and said, "I have the right person here, but I want to hear about your alchemy experience and the origin of this potion first." ”
Morgan smiled mildly: "At least one thing I can vouch for, I love alchemy more than anything, and I am very good at protecting myself and my helpers, but I have to talk about my experience..."
"Two years ago, I had been studying alchemy at the Yunmu Academy in the Liuxia Kingdom. ”
"There are many alchemical secrets that have been handed down from ancient times. I and others are attracted to it. ”
"One day, I found a recipe called 'Universal Cultivation Potion' on one of the mysterious pages, which says that this potion can repair any kind of non-fatal wound inside and outside the body when drunk, but it requires materials..."
He sighed slightly: "A year has passed, and now all the materials on my side are only dragon leaves." ”
"Last summer, I risked my life to dive into the Pearl River in the Silver Wing, collected pearl mussel shells, and made the first ingredient: pearl mussel powder. ”
"In autumn, I traveled to the elven kingdom of Ilil, where I caught an extremely rare 'Tianshou deer' in the wild and collected its eight-pronged antlers. ”
"The third ingredient is the "dragon leaf" that I have found at this time, and the fourth ingredient almost killed me. ”
"The snow melted from the ice at a height of five thousand meters above the "Ice Tooth Snow Mountain" in the extreme north of the continent! Do you know how long I climbed last winter?" Morgan said with a sudden thump of his chest.
"Not only did I almost fall off the snowy mountain, but I was almost eaten by a snow monster!"
"But it's okay, meeting you guys is a perfect ending, I swear, what I said is true, you don't need any alchemy expertise, just do me a small favor, okay?"
Morton: "In that case, we'll agree to your terms. ”
Morgan was overjoyed.
"After the refining is over, in return, I will give you some potions. But even if you're seriously injured, you can only take a sip, and you can't drink too much!"
