Chapter 803: Secret Wine
"Did you give it to him?" Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Alexander gazed at the statue of Amun Zeus in the distance.
"Yes. The vase had already been delivered, and the King of Rome was tasting Ambrosia. He's about to take the bait. β
"Well, as long as he drinks it, I'm not afraid that he won't take the bait. I didn't use any tricks, that's not my style. All the problems that arise from this are also of his own making. Alexander didn't say anything and continued to look at the scenery in the distance.
The effect of the first sip of the Immortal Secret Wine surprised Shang Luo. His power has actually been suppressed since the previous level, because it is not acceptable to "use spiritual power" in this world. Originally, this was nothing to others, but Shang Luo stuffed too many functional components into the eight veins of the Qi Jing, which made him even more tired than ordinary people after the "power was off".
However, it is only exhaustion. His defenses are inherently passive, and they don't become brittle from exhaustion. But if you want to do anything on your own initiative, you run out of power.
It's easier to defend than to attack because it's conceptually different. Defense is only to contain the influence of others on oneself, while attack is to affect others. After the power is cut off, only the former young man who lives in the Divine Chromium Glove can move, and the glove is not affected by this place like the Sun God's Spear.
But after just taking a sip of the Immortal Secret Wine, everything came back. The first thing that came back was his physical strength, and the fatigue that had been pervasive since just now had been swept away. His energy and concentration were restored, and the state of the intact heavenly body returned to his body.
The dragon tooth soldier who served the wine was surprised: "You have already drunk a lot, are you really okay?" β
"Your behavior really surprised me, but I tell you the truth, there is really nothing wrong with the Immortal Secret Wine, and I will drink it in a while. What I just drank is exactly the same as the Immortal Secret Wine you are drinking now. I think it's surprising that you don't even think anything has changed? β
Seeing Shang Luo return to him, Alexander was a little surprised.
"It's less than half a year." Shang Luo shook his head, "It's normal that you don't know, because it was adopted on a large scale after I came." No matter how well-informed you are, it will be difficult for you to collect such a high-level secret within half a year. But this pot is also in the stakes, right? β
"I want to start by asking, what the hell is this made of?"
"Do you ever feel like you still want to drink? Aren't you going to give a little to someone else? β
"Then I thank you. My brother will want your pot very muchβit can flow out of the spiritual liquid continuously, and it will be enough to fill the pool of liquid. It's not bad to go back and build a fountain in the Taiye Pool, and it can be regarded as a scenic spot. β
"Why does it sound familiar?"
"What do you think I'm going to do?"
"You're not worried at all? I've started to recommend what should I do? β
"Huh." Alexander raised an eyebrow, "I guess you think of your little girlfriend Victoria." β
"That's right." Shang Luo replied, "This is exactly what an immortal should eat for us, and I don't think it's any surprise at all. From my point of view, it tastes pretty good. Let me eat it every day. β
"Of course, that's part of the stake." Alexander replied, "I am a decent person. Before the game begins, I'll answer all your questions in full. And you can quit at any time before you officially start. But to be honest, when I drank it before, I had the intention of letting you share it. It doesn't matter if you drink it yourself, but once you let someone else drink it, you're afraid you won't be able to get off the table. β
What the hell are you thinking? Phaethon was not a mortal in his eyes who particularly needed help, on the contrary, she was quite powerful. Faethon's strength doesn't need to be explained, and she doesn't need any extra care, she is herself. γ
"Anytime." Shang Luo waved his hand, "It's Alexander, is he ready over there?" β
"Strictly speaking, it's a kind of dew and nectar."
"Ichord, you say?" Phaethon patted the gourd on his waist, "I drink it every day, thank you." I've got cream on my faceβyours and the ichor are basically the same thing, no different, just tastier better. β
"Ha ???" Alexander was surprised, "When?" How did I not know that Aurora also has the same thing? β
"Why?"
"Then you don't have any ideas when you're done eating?"
"Someone else? Are you referring to Phaethon? β
Alexander nodded, "I thought you'd give Phaethon a little drink." After all, this is Ambrosia, the wine of eternal life. There's a big bottle of this stuff so much, aren't you going to give her a little to drink it too? β
"Naturally, it's there."
"Because it's the food of the fairy world." Alexander replied, "Mortals drink it to attain the status of immortality like a god, and legend has it that many people drank Ambrosia on Mount Olympus during the feast of Zeus, and they all attained immortality without exception." But at the same time, their immortality also depended on Ambrosia. This is certainly not a drug that creates dependence, but life itself is a poison. After enjoying an extended life, it is often impossible to accept that one's short life expectancy is short. I'd like to call it another kind of 'oxygen'. β
"Oh no. It's nothing. Are you ready to start playing? β
"You seem surprised?" Shang Luo asked, "What do you think will happen to me?" Or do you think there will be some problems with the secret wine? β
"Then you're in the right place." Alexander sighed, "This vase contains the fountain of youth, which I exchanged with Helios, and it is a holy relic found by the Bone Collector in the New World. It should be fitting that you have re-made him into a spring. β
"Huh? Don't say it, I really haven't thought about it. β
"You, are you alright?"
"But hasn't Phaethon lost the power of a demigod?" He asked Phaethon directly, "You don't plan to drink it yourself?" β
"Thoughts? What's the idea? β
"She's not my girlfriend, and your investigation went wrong."
"Really? But that's exactly what she thinks. Trust me, she really needs Ambrosia. There's a reason I say the analogy of 'oxygen' β the ancient gods were almost as immortal as the gods, and they had no physiological mechanism of their own self-replacement. But there was a group of organisms that began to gain higher speeds at the cost of breathing oxygen. The trade-off is that they have to rely on oxygen to maintain their physiology. Of course, this is not to say that life without oxygen is bad, but oxygen inhalation can make the sky more wide. β
