6. Magic box

Human beings have the power that no one else has - natural aging.

However, he does not have such power, and he cannot even obtain the power of death, which is even lower than this.

I have tried countless deaths, and I have tried countless methods of death, hunger strikes, water cuts, that is no longer a trivial thing, no matter what kind of weapons and treasures are used, piercing into any part of my body, or breaking my body into pieces, I still can't get the gift of "death".

The reason has long been understood, I have already integrated with the things I am holding, as long as there is still the slightest disaster and misfortune in this world, I will never be able to get the death I look forward to.

How can there be no calamities and misfortunes in the world? Eternal life, a word that makes you want to spit out. Because of myself...... It's human.

Themselves were created zΓ o out, and the gods gave themselves the means of their own pride, and thus, their own wisdom, beauty, grace, health...... Oh no, Athena, doesn't she refuse to give yourself wisdom?

His own wisdom seems to be thanks to the "pollution" brought to him by the magic box in his hand in an incalculable amount of time.

He was born as a human being who was given a purpose by the creator of zΓ o, and when he opened the magic box for the first time, he didn't know it at all.

Ah, it's terrible, out of this hollowed-out, beautiful spherical box, there are so many black butterflies that make me tremble. What the hell is that!?Why, it was only out of curiosity that I opened the box that Prometheus did not allow me to open. But what is this butterfly that flies out?

Despair. Disaster. Horror, misfortune.

It was as if I had heard such a deathly whisper. No, it's horrible, I have to close it!

In the depths of the box, there seems to be a white butterfly wrapped in a swarm of black butterflies, but no, I don't have time to rescue it. The box must never be fully opened again as it is today.

【Bang】&"Bang"

"Woo......"

Pandora clutched her head and glared at Lucifer's knees. Although it has nothing to do with Lucifer at all.

"Pandora dozes off too, and this is the first time I've seen anything like this. ”

Lilith smiled and looked at Pandora, as if she had discovered some brand new attribute of Pandora, "Are you selling cute?"

"I'm also a living creature, a living creature, and I definitely need sleep. ”

Pandora squinted, not yet fully awake from her sleep, but Pandora did look much cuter now than she did when she was awake.

At least. The kind of smile that no one could fathom appeared at the corner of her mouth. Just, if you can. It's better to show for your daughters today, rather than for yourself at this time.

After all, today was to go to the alchemist's house to see how her work was progressing.

A rare, talented alchemist, and after giving the corresponding promise, he also promised to do those jobs for himself that he couldn't say, and this matter must not be messed up.

I heard that she had a daughter, and if she couldn't, let Lucifer pick her up in a few days and let her live alone next to her daughters' house.

"If you're a creature, aren't we even parasites?"

In a rare leisure, Lilith also joked with Pandora, although Pandora, who seemed to have just woken up, didn't look so good.

Everyone has something on their minds that they can't say, Pandora...... There will be more on the mind.

"I've never heard of a creature that has been pierced in the stomach and can continue to walk as if it was fine. ”

"If I envy you, I'll trade with you, then you'll be immortal?"

"Thanks for your kindness. ”

Lilith waved her hand, eternal life is indeed tempting, but not everyone will like it, "I don't want to be like you, carrying a big iron ball around, even to sleep." ”

But is Pandora tired of being alive? Eternal life is like pie in the sky for people with weak resistance and judgment.

"Lilith, how is the Siren that you let your little daughter pick up that day?"

Pandora rarely changed the subject in an obvious way, but it at least reminded Lilith that the topic of "eternal life" should not be brought up in front of Pandora in a joking way.

She doesn't seem to like to say the word "eternal life" to others, or rather, she hates "eternal life" herself, but her "eternal life" is real eternal life, because she once said that as long as there are calamities and misfortunes in the world, she will continue to stay here.

How could these two things disappear into the world?

"The injury has healed, in terms of qualifications, it is very rare, and it is also a high-class in the Kraken, and I am planning to teach her a little magic. ”

Lilith prefers the name her youngest daughter gave her to the Siren.

"Liviatan. The name given to her by the youngest daughter, and later, the kraken will have this name. ”

"I don't have any opinion, but you're really willing to give up the opportunity to your daughter. ”

"Because, she's my daughter. ”

Lilith left the words behind and stepped out of the carriage. Doing potion research for herself, the alchemist Rena's home has arrived. Although she said that she had never felt anything about money, since she gave this mansion to Rena for the sake of potion research, then Rena had to at least make achievements that allowed her to stay in this manor without interference.

"Excuse me. ”

Lilith chose to enter Rena's work room directly from the window on the second floor. Maybe it's because when she first came, Rena's daughter had been hiding from her and huddled behind her mother.

The little guy named Frey is very simple, and the simple child often judges the most accurately.

That's right, at this time, I am not a good person. In Frey's eyes, I'm afraid that there is black gas around me.

So, this time it's better to let Frey go, because the simple and innocent child is not annoying.

"If you don't take one of what I gave you before work, you'll die in danger. ”

Lilith looked at Rena, who was resting on the table, her face was a little pale, and although it seemed partly due to the weakness of the overworked guide.

Because the things she studied for herself were inherently toxic, why did this stupid guy always forget to take her medicine? Why didn't she think about it for her daughter.

"I've studied the ingredients of the pills you gave. ”

While quickly recovering her energy under Lilith's magic, Rena raised her head, "The medicine has an ingredient that will paralyze the nerves, and that will have a lot of effects on my work. ”

"Do you have one of the medicines I made for you alone?" Lilith sat down next to Rena and looked at the bottles and jars on the table, which were already bubbling with mist, "Wait an hour after eating, and then work, and the nerves are back to normal, and the body is temporarily resistant." You, too, think about your daughter who is still playing with toys downstairs and waiting for you, I can't be her mother instead of you. ”

"I'm not going to let you be, witch. ”

Only at this time, Rena will not show weakness as a mother to resist, Lilith, really envy such a Rena.

"Research...... There's not much progress yet, has it?"

Lilith looked around, and in the few days she hadn't been here, the house where Rena had worked had nothing that attracted her, except for a little more dust and discarded materials.

In other words, the "medicine" I asked for has not made any progress at all.

...... This guy gave her so much money himself, not to let her play with her daughter idlely.

β€œ...... A small part of it is done, at least, the kind you mentioned, the medicine that can get the 'power of the devil' is already good. I put it in the back room. ”

Rena stood up, "However, I haven't been able to figure it out, if I'm right, that potion shouldn't have what you said, right?"

"That's right, you go ahead and do what you really want to do. ”

If it's just a pure potion, then anyone can do it, and there is no need to go to an alchemist to develop it alone. The use of that kind of potion still has to be combined with magic.

How can there be such a simple and happy thing, if you think about it carefully, you can know that it is a potion as a medium, using magic to contact the demon king Loki, and exchange it with his soul to give her power.

"I see...... But! ”

Rena turned around suddenly, "What you want me to study is not a potion that can see people, even if I have just come into contact with it, I can feel it, the finished product must be some kind of poison......"

"It's none of your business, all you do is research. ”

"No, how could it be okay, I just want to know what you can do with her. Rena said, "You're a hero, the admired witch, why, you're going to do this kind of ......?"

"Enough, don't forget who you are. ”

The inexplicable words stabbed Lilith's nerves, and after grabbing Rena's clothes, which were taller than herself, Lilith sank her face.

Sure enough, Pandora was right, there was only one way to stop these curious people from talking and thinking.

"You're just an alchemist, I gave you a qiΔ“, you study it for me, that's all. If you want to say anything righteous to me, don't forget it. ”

"Your life and that of your daughter have long been mine. (To be continued......)
