Chapter 51: Russell's Leap Thinking
Russell knew that after reaching the third grade level of spirituality, the life expectancy of the transcendent would increase, but this mainly came from stronger life force, later failure of physical functions, and immunity to most diseases. After all, life expectancy has not significantly exceeded the human limit.
Among the excellent transcendents, centenarians are not uncommon, but the probability of surviving to be over 200 years old is extremely small.
Russell had thought that with the help of certain spells, rituals, and potions, he could further prolong his life by rejuvenating himself, but the cost was very high and ordinary people could not afford it. But in retrospect, that's not the case.
Duncan naturally spread his hands:
"Well, even in the supernatural realm, eternal life is considered impossible. Life-prolonging spells, rituals, and elixirs do exist, but they conflict with each other, and the limit is just a dozen more years. ”
I see. This should be common knowledge in the otherworld. I was born into an ordinary family, and it has only been less than two years since I stepped into the transcendent world, so I still know too little...... Russell sighed secretly and asked:
"But can the university hospital perform the surgery to bring the deceased back to life, and it will be effective for the old dead?"
"There is no resurrection of the dead who die of natural causes." Duncan gave Russell the answer he had already thought of.
"Then if we kill the old man 10 minutes before he dies of old age, will he be able to come back to life?" Russell was a very leap-thinking mind.
"It can be resurrected." Duncan replied in the affirmative, "But he will only live for another 10 minutes after resurrection." ”
Wind Chimes listened to Russell and Duncan's questions and answers, and was stunned for a moment, feeling that everything was so reasonable and there was no bug.
But Russell still didn't give up:
"So for the great men and heroes who appear in each era, can we kill them in advance and save their souls before they die naturally. Resurrect them when they are needed again. Such a great man or hero thousands of years ago can live to this day. ”
"Wow, that's a great idea to be a student at our college. That's what I asked about the school hospital back then! Duncan gave Russell a thumbs up and admired the college student.
"However, the hospital told me that even if the soul is preserved in a state of death, the soul is still aging slowly, but not as fast as when it was alive." Duncan said.
Russell lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds, then said, "Okay, Mr. Headmaster, I don't have any other questions. ”
The Demon King next to him watched Russell and Duncan sing and harmonize, and couldn't help nodding his head, revealing his appreciative gaze.
It seems that when I wake up this time, I still have a lot to learn!
"Alright, Mr. Demon King, you can continue to tell about your experience. About the Thorn Bird. ”
The Demon King nodded lightly and said:
"As you might guess, it's clear that the thorn bird has broken through the limits of human lifespan.
She was also a master alchemist, and would often throw all sorts of strange materials into the boiler in her hut to concoct potions with supernatural powers.
"And her eternal life is the effect of a potion of potion."
Russell was not surprised by the fact that the Thorn Bird liked to mix potions in the boiler.
This is the most standard witch image in fairy tales!
Of course, the medicinal herbs used for the blend are probably messy things such as spider webs and toad eyes, and they don't look like food that can be imported anyway.
It was at this moment that Russell suddenly realized the fact that necromancy and life-related magic techniques have an even older origin, which can be traced back not only to witch doctors, witches and shamans, but also closely related to the image of witches.
"In other words, the thorn bird has the ability to create medicine that makes people live forever or has an incomparably long life." Duncan keenly grasped the point of the Demon King's words.
Medicines can be given to other people, and a method of immortality, if it exists, is bound to cause an uproar throughout the world.
The Demon King sighed softly and said;
"But it was just the result of an accidental alchemy, a miracle that could not be replicated.
According to Thornbird, she indiscriminately added a lot of herbs during a certain potion preparation process, and inadvertently brewed a true elixir.
"A pot of potion allowed the Thorn Bird to rejuvenate and rejuvenate itself into its current youthful and beautiful appearance, and to gain eternal life.
However, she tried all means to reproduce the same pot of elixir. This is true even with the aid of divination and prophecy.
"This is also the basis of our cooperation - I hope to refine the medicine that transforms the life form of mortals, and the Thornbird wants to recreate that pot of elixir. We hit it off and started working together. ”
Feeling the huge amount of information in the words of the demon king Xiao Ming, Russell's thoughts fluctuated:
It turns out that the Thorn Bird and the Demon King Xiao Ming used to be allies.
The occult medicine that the two of them want to refine together should ideally have two effects, one is to allow ordinary people to obtain extraordinary power, and the other is to make people immortal or have a long lifespan, corresponding to the two ultimate dreams of human beings of immortality and transcendence, respectively.
By the way, the Thorn Bird can refine an elixir that allows ordinary people such as Arctic wolves to awaken spiritually, which is probably one of the research results during the cooperation. It's just that this elixir has a limited duration and must be taken regularly, otherwise it will turn back into a normal person.
Between the electric head, Russell immediately asked:
"Then what did you do after that?"
The Demon King's face was a little more solemn than before:
"After working together for a while, I found out that this woman was of bad character and was not a good person.
"Once, she actually wanted to capture other transcendents as medicinal materials for refining medicines, saying that only by using the lives of transcendental beings as materials could she refine elixirs that bring extraordinary power.
"I had a big fight with her and parted ways ever since!"
Taking a living person to refine medicine is very in line with the legend of a man-eating witch. Senior Sister Thorn Bird is really not a good person, and she is probably just well hidden when she enters school...... Russell listened and thought.
When mentioning the refining of medicine for living people, the wind chimes behind Russell twitched obviously, and many fragments of memories flashed in the female ghost's mind, and her body trembled.
Russell raised his hand, his right hand glowing with blue light, and gently stroked the void, calming the wind chimes with the ability to drive spirits.
"After I parted ways with Thornbird, it was a long time later, about 15 years ago, that I learned that she had entered the International Academy of Legality and Occultism, the only transcendent academy in the world, and she had become the top fifth-year student in the academy." The Demon King said again.
