……

"Ah Bing, you go and help him."

Matthew gave instructions cautiously.

At the same time, he observed that the environment inside the laboratory was very different from the tomb outside that was immersed in the seabed.

It's dry, airy, and shrouded in negative energy.

He glanced back.

There is indeed an untraceable barrier on the door of the chamber, and it is this barrier that keeps the sea water out, making the laboratory a space of its own.

The lab is huge.

Matthew could tell with the naked eye that there was more room to explore inside and on the floors below.

But he didn't rush into action.

Instead, he calmly looked at the skull in front of him.

Matthew didn't feel any energy fluctuations from him.

This means that the other party does not have a trace of extraordinary power.

This is unusual.

Bing walked over and picked up the skull, trying to place it on its original skeleton.

However, I don't know if Ah Bing encountered something in the process.

It didn't take long for Matthew to hear a commotion falling apart.

The skeleton's body turned into bone meal.

Only a few bones appear to be functional.

Ah Bing hugged the skull, a little at a loss.

"Forget it, you can put me on the table - of course, if you want, you can hold me all the time."

The skeleton sighed.

There was a hint of depression in his soul.

Bing immediately placed the skull on the table next to him.

The result is the next second.

The table made of granite was also shattered.

I saw that the other things in the laboratory also looked like they would break when they were touched.

Ah Bing had to hold him in his arms.

Matthew asked:

"Who is you?"

The skull has a little more spirit:

"My name is Mayer."

"He is the inheritor of the Aether Society, the forerunner of the necromancer, the loyal servant of Lord Death, and the old dog of the underworld...... I have many, many more titles, so many that I can't remember them at all, but I like the old dog the most, you can just call me old dog! ”

When these words are spoken.

Mayer's teeth fell out one by one, and it didn't take long for none to be left.

Fortunately, his voice came from the soul fire.

Even if the teeth are gone, there is no leakage of speech.

"How ...... you are now?"

Matthew probed.

Mayer himself is very calm:

"Oh, don't worry, negative energy dependence......"

"This should be common sense for necromancers, staying in a high level of negative energy environment for a long time, once the proportion of negative energy in the environment decreases, your body may have a collapse reaction, which is quite common for many necromantic creatures, especially elderly necromantic creatures."

"I've lived for I don't know how many years, and my body has been in a state of collapse since the moment you opened the door."

"But don't worry, I'll be fine."

"In fact, I have eternal life......"

When these words are spoken.

Mayer's skull was also completely shattered.

His soul flame flickered like a candle in the wind for a while, and seemed to be extinguished at any moment.

Just when Matthew suspected that he was going to help by saying big things.

An extremely abundant life energy erupted from Mayer's soul fire!

Followed by.

A new skull grew out of the outer periphery of the soul fire.

Then there is the skeleton of the neck as well as the upper bust.

Then there is the cervical spine and ribs, and then the pelvis.

Ultimately, the thighs, calves, knees, and complete balls of the feet......

Soon.

A full-fledged skeleton appeared in front of Matthew.

"Look, that's the power of eternal life."

Mayer said blandly:

"As long as the environment has the elements I need, I can be resurrected in any form, in other words, I can change my race through death."

"If I die on the negative energy plane, I'll become a skeleton."

"If I die in the water element, I will become a water man, and the other elements will do the same."

"If I die in the divine realm, hehe, it will be terrible......"

Matthew observed the changes in Mayer with some amazement.

The energy flowing from the other party's body could not be more familiar to him.

That's the element that flows between the realm of nature and the realm of life.

Theoretically, they are in opposition to immortality.

But now.

They appeared so naturally on the body of a skeleton!

This couldn't help but make Matthew a little excited.

The second son of the Grim Reaper, Mai Baron, seems to have really achieved a partial harmony between life and death!

The progress of the other party.

It's a lot farther than yourself!

"Mr. Mayer, what is your relationship with Maibalon, the second son of the Grim Reaper?"

Matthew gets straight to the point.

Mayer replied leisurely:

"Didn't I say that I am a faithful servant of death, and as for Maibalon in your mouth, he is my student."

"I've devoted my life to this lab — well, that's probably an exaggeration, but the truth of the matter is that the lab has been out of touch with the outside world since I don't know what day it is, and we can't open the door to the outside world from the inside."

"In the long years, everyone died, and only me and one other person survived with the forbidden spell until the death fairy orchid successfully bloomed."

"Then something happened."

"In short, I became an eternal through a petal of death fairy orchid, and then I survived until your arrival."

"According to the previous agreement with the god of death, after I hand over the Death Fairy Orchid to you, I will be able to regain my freedom."

"I can leave this lab and do something I love......

Matthew sounded a little weird.

But he still followed the other party's words and asked:

"For example?"

Mayer's soul fire reveals indescribable satisfaction and joy:

"I'm going to find a place where no one disturbs me and catch fish for a whole century!"

Matthew was silent.

"Don't you think it's a great thing?"

Mayer asked excitedly:

"Have you ever wondered what eternal life means to a person?"

"For me, eternal life means that time has lost its power to imprison me."

"I can waste my time as much as I want, even if what I do is meaningless in the eyes of the world."

"For me, that's the source of happiness."

"What about you? If you were the living ever, what would you do? ”

Mayer asked Matthew with interest.

Matthew shook his head:

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Mayer said with regret:

"Is the current environment so that today's young people dare not hope for eternal life?"

"It doesn't look like it's going to be easy outside."

"I'm different, I've been stuck in the lab for a long time, and I've already figured out what I'm going to do next."

"Fishing was just a pastime of the first century."

"I'm going to do a lot of interesting things next, even though I'm already very proficient in these things - you may not know, I've been living in the lab all these years, and I've already trained all my life skills, including fishing, to the level of a Grand Master through intracranial meditation training."

"Do you know what a Grand Master is?"

Matthew still shook his head.

Mayer looked a little disappointed:

"It seems that the craftsmen are not shining as well as they should in this era."

But soon he adjusted his mood:

"Give me some cloth and needlework, and preferably a ruler."

Matthew thought for a moment.

The things asked for by the other party were almost harmless, so he took them out of his bag and handed them to the other party:

"I don't have much fabric on me, but the needle and thread and ruler are a bit ......."

Mayer took the material and commented:

"Very ordinary linen."

"What are these fabrics used for?"

Matthew shrugged:

"I'll make a little shroud myself."

Mayer said "wow":

"It's not a surprising answer at all."

Say that.

He flicked his ruler suddenly, and the void gestured at Matthew and Bing.

Then, his hands, which were grasping the materials, suddenly began to fly and thread the needles.

Just half a minute later.

Two ready-to-wear garments with a faint glow appeared in front of Matthew's eyes.

These two outfits are not particularly elaborate.

But it gives people a sense of naturalness.

"Try?"

"You try it too!"

Mayer threw the two sets of clothes to Matthew and Bing, respectively, and then sewed a third set on his own.

Matthew put on his body full of curiosity, and then stretched his waist:

"It's pretty comfortable......"

He glanced at Bing.

Ah Bing, who has changed into new clothes, seems to be a little more handsome than before!

data bar.

……

"Hint: You and Bing donned the normal coat that Mayer sewed.

You and Bing have gained the following stat boosts-

Charisma +1;

Cold-proofing LV2;

Waterproof LV2;

+1 Eclipse Resistance;"

……

Matthew's pupils contracted violently.

He knew the materials he gave very well.

The reason why it is used to make a shroud is because it is cheap and strong!

However, under Mayer's skillful hands.

Clothes made of these materials have such powerful properties!

Matthew instantly regretted not giving silk......

"How?"

"Not bad, right?"

Mayer finished the third dress with a smile:

"If there were better materials, I could make better clothes."

"In fact, tailoring is just one of the many life skills I've mastered."

"I have every life skill you can imagine."

Matthew was immediately convinced:

"It's really impressive."

Mayer looked like he was enjoying it:

"I just like to hear good things."

"For your sake, I'll give you three free opportunities to tailor, remember to bring better materials next time-

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, and the shroud is not worthy of a handsome guy like you. ”

Matthew was a little embarrassed.

But he's also weird:

"Why are you talking to me about this?"

Mayer was stunned for a moment:

"yes, I should have finished the mission sooner and found a place to fish!"

"Maybe it's because I've been in the laboratory for too long, and I've finally met a life that can communicate, so I can't help but want to show off......"

"Let's get down to business, you go and put away the Death Immortal Orchid, if you don't want to use up all the seven-petal Immortal Orchid on the spot, then you have to collect the bones below, the Death Immortal Orchid is very demanding for the growth environment."

"It must grow in a pure negative energy environment, and it also needs to be nourished by very strong life energy."

Matthew looked at the skeleton and couldn't help but ask:

"Which god's remains are these?"

Mayer said casually:

"The Old God of Life."

"There is still a little divinity of the ancient god of life in the pool below, you can take it away by the way, but remember to use this divinity regularly every month to nourish the death fairy orchid, otherwise the latter is at risk of withering."

The remains of the Old Gods of Life?

Is it so special?

Matthew only felt his scalp tingle.

"Shocked, huh?"

Mayer smiled and said:

"In order to cultivate this Death Immortal Orchid, Lord Death and his son Maibalon had already put in thousands of years of hard work before I took over—probably not that long, damn it! After spending a long time in the lab, my concept of time has long been blurred, and in short, it has taken a lot of time. ”

"You should feel lucky, this is a real immortal curiosity!"

Matthew looked at the strange flower in the glass cover.

He can clearly perceive the extraordinaryness of the other party.

He took a deep breath:

"Why give it to me?"

"Because you opened the door of the laboratory, and it is my mission to give it to the person who opened the door."

Mayer said with some embarrassment:

"This is the last task left to me by Lord Death, and I have finally fulfilled my mission."

"I promised him three things to do for him, and now I've done them all—

Cultivating the Death Fairy Orchid is the last item.

The last one is to become a teacher of wheat.

I'm not bad at it.

Although the wheat went crazy in the end.

But that's actually his own problem-

I'm not passing the buck.

Wheat is a great kid and he has a lot of potential.

But here's the problem.

In any era, the love brain is hopeless!

Yes.

The second son of the Grim Reaper, Mai Balon, was a super-genius, and at a time when the gods were still active on the earth, he was expected to surpass his father and embark on a path that no one had ever taken before.

But he is always easy to be manipulated by women.

I've told him many times that feelings are the least reliable thing.

He expressed his understanding and agreement.

But I'm still obsessed.

The goddess of Tianlun Palace took pleasure in teasing Maibalon's feelings, and later, even the demons of purgatory and the banshees of the abyss had to intervene.

The child sees one and loves the other, and each one is unswerving.

For a while, the entire underworld became the scene of a big ethical serial.

Lord Death was shameless about this.

In the affairs of men and women, he has always played very openly, and he has always hurt others, and no one else has hurt him.

The son was teased like this.

Of course, my father was heartbroken.

After several communications ended in a quarrel.

In order to save Maibaron.

Lord Death made a bold decision—

He himself became a woman and seduced his son out of the hands of those bad women!

This move certainly prevented Wheat from continuing to be deceived and played with by other women.

but also laid the spiritual foreshadowing for his later madness.

After all, paper can't hold fire.

Finally one day.

Wheat learns the truth.

When he realizes that the woman he is madly in love with is actually his father.

He collapsed.

After that, he seemed a little chattering.

It's normal to go crazy later on.

I had enlightened him in private, but he said he couldn't untie the knot.

Ay.

I can understand.

After all, not everyone can accept the ...... who once had estrus on their father."

Hear here.

Matthew scratched his numb scalp vigorously.

Rao is well-informed, such as he also felt a chill behind his back:

"It's also explosive among the gods......

Mayer thinks so:

"yes."

"Even Lord Death himself regretted it, and he still felt guilty until the moment he fell......"

"Wheat is pretty pitiful, too."

"If you can, please leave him a petal of Death Orchid, although he may not be able to use it......"

Matthew's heart moved:

"Do you know the whereabouts of the Grim Reaper and others in this lab?"

Mayer nodded:

"I'm the heir of the Aether Society, and although the necromancer and the spells in the prophetic realm are somewhat offended, world events can still be divined."

"But that was before taking that petal of Death Orchid."

"Since then, I have become an Eternal, but I have also lost all my abilities as a mage."

Matthew was slightly stunned.

But seeing Mayer pointing to the beautiful orchid, he said:

"That's the only disadvantage of becoming an immortal by taking the Death Fairy Orchid."

"It will dissolve all the supernatural power in you."

"You're going to lose all of your combat classes and abilities."

"Now, you know why I just want to fish, right?"

"I was a great mage."

"But not anymore......"

There was a hint of loneliness in his voice.

"I see......"

Matthew nodded abruptly.

"So for some people, the Death Fairy Orchid is not a strange thing, but a real poison!"

Mayer said with emotion in a vicissitudes of tone:

"If the person you hate is extremely powerful, you can trick him into taking a Death Orchid, and in this way, although he will gain eternal life, he will be your plaything forever in your limited life."

Matthew was stunned again.

He looked at Mayer in disbelief.

The latter said calmly:

"That's right."

"I was deceived into taking Death Orchid."

"The person who lied to me has now been crushed and ashes, but I still feel unrelieved, after all, I have suffered a lot in the years when he was alive......"

Matthew was silent.

However, Mayer's mood adjusted quickly:

"Forget it, being able to become an eternal is earned no matter how you say it."

"There were so many people in Carmela Fortress, but I'm not the only one who has survived to this day?"

"It's meaningful to be alive!"

Matthew raised his head slightly:

"Wait."

"What did you just call this place?"

Mayer naturally replied:

"Carmela Fortress."

"This laboratory is only part of Carmela Fortress, an asset left behind by the Aether Society."

"What's wrong?"
