Chapter 565: Enemy
Chapter 565 [Enemy]
We live in this world -- here we include a group of creatures, humans, animals, plants...... A qiē has a living being, all of them need to follow the rules of this world.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, metabolic reincarnation. The required conditions are sunlight, oxygen, nutrients, and temperature.
All these external conditions are collectively referred to as "rules".
When there is a lack of water, the plant dies, and when the plant dies, it is unable to produce oxygen. Then animals that need oxygen to survive, humans, will die......
A qiē and a qiē have a rule similar to a loop.
It's like a chain.
Basically, nothing can be separated from this chain. Occasionally, there may be some special cases, and these special cases use some special means to hide themselves from the control of the rules of this heaven and earth......
And this special case is the pursuit of almost all higher beings, and it seems that all races want to pursue some effect that can violate the "rules".
A woman wants to be young forever, an emperor wants to be immortal, and a warrior wants to be immortal......
This is a beautiful hope, but for individual capable people, with the conditions that can pursue this hope, this hope can be turned into reality.
At this time, there is a "special case".
Such as...... Dean Carmen.
......
"The Dean is about the same age as my father, but if you look at your appearance, it looks like you are a sister. If in a few years, when I am old, I am afraid that some people will believe that you are my sister. ”
Du pursed his lips slightly, looked at Carmen, and said lightly: "This kind of magic that reverses time." I guess it must have paid a big price. Although I'm not sure what it is, my father told me since I was a child that if you want to break the rules, you always have to pay a price, and the bigger the break, the heavier the price you pay!"
Carmen was no longer able to speak.
At this moment, Carmen, although standing in place, seemed to be fighting stubbornly against some force, and a faint golden light kept emerging from her body. However, just outside of Carmen's body. But it seemed to be shrouded in a black cover like an eggshell, devouring the golden aura that emerged from her body little by little!
Carmen seems to have done everything she can to induce her golden glow...... That was the power of the Holy Order.
The speed at which it can be devoured is getting faster and faster, faster and faster, and soon, the speed of this devouring has exceeded the speed of Carmen's inducing power.
And the eggshell seems to be gradually shrinking, "pressing" down little by little. Getting closer and closer to Carmen's body, getting closer and closer......
Du Weiwei's voice still came unhurriedly: "Eternal youth seems to be a dream that every woman dreams of. I've always been curious about why you can do this. If you're a Holy Order, it doesn't seem too strange to do this. But what I do know is that your promotion to the Holy Rank is only a recent thing. And your youthful appearance has been preserved for decades. I've always wondered, what method did a person whose strength had not reached the Holy Rank use to embrace youth?"
Cold sweat broke out on Carmen's forehead.
Du Weiwei took a light step. He walked to Carmen and stood less than three steps in front of him.
Her eyes actually look a little scary at the moment!
"It's really enviable. Especially as a woman. Du Weiwei seemed to stretch out his fingers, separated by a distance of several meters, as if to draw the outline of Carmen's face: "Such a beautiful appearance, I believe that my father's infatuation with you when he was young is indeed justified." Such a beautiful appearance, even I, who is also a woman, can't help but admire. Not only can she have such a beauty, but she can also be preserved for a long time, such a thing, I'm afraid that women all over the world will be jealous and crazy. ”
Carmen was already gritting her teeth, she seemed to open her mouth to speak, but she couldn't make any more sounds, and her teeth rattled.
"Under the Holy Order, it is impossible to reverse the rules of time for a long time. I'm very clear about that.
If a twenty-year-old person has a sixty-year-old face, this is not difficult, perhaps because some kind of magic has excessively consumed his life force, yes, the face has aged prematurely. However, if this situation is reversed, and a sixty-year-old person has the appearance of a twenty-year-old, it can only be done by reversing the rules of time by some means. Normal magic may be able to do this, but it won't last long. And your appearance has been maintained for decades......"
Du Weiwei said this: "I have thought about all the magic, but I can't find an answer to this question. Although I am not the dean of the Academy of Magic, nor am I a Grand Master of Magic, the Tulip Family has been established for hundreds of years, and the family's achievements in the field of magic research will never be much less than the reserves of the Academy of Magic. I can't even find an answer, so I think it's a little weird. Thankfully, I finally thought of a possibility. ”
Carmen gritted her teeth hard.
This answer turned out to be at my fingertips. Du smiled slightly: "In my family, there are many treasures left by the first duke of the ancestors, and there is one thing among them, which is very, very precious, this thing can be used to solidify the form of a certain thing forever." This kind of thing, only my tulip family has in this world, the name of this thing, I think...... Dean Carmen, you're no stranger. ”
Du Weiwei said this, and smiled lightly: "The fountain of youth!"
......
............
"What does it mean that the time left in this world will enter the countdown? What does this mean?" Chen Daolin felt a little confusion in his head: "Could it be that when the strength reaches a certain level, it will die faster? You can't mean that, right?"
"Of course not!" Mung Bean Cake smiled bitterly: "Of course it doesn't mean that! As far as I know, the strength of the elf in the north far exceeds the realm above the Holy Rank, and it is still alive and well! Of course, it is not a ridiculous thing that the higher the strength, the faster it will die, it is definitely not this meaning, but in the Tulip family, there is a special situation. ”
"What special circumstances?"
"I told you. Under normal circumstances, even geniuses would not be able to achieve a great breakthrough in strength in such a short period of time like every generation of dukes of the Tulip family...... And I think there is an ideal that you must be able to understand: if you want to break the rules, you must pay a price, and the greater the process of breaking, the heavier the price to pay!"
Chen Daolin touched his nose: "What do you mean...... A power that doesn't belong to you?"
"A power that doesn't belong to you, that's it!"
Mung Bean Cake sighed, "Is Dean Carmen a genius? How old did she have to be to become a saint? How old do you think Du Weiwei can be to become a saint? Okay, even if he becomes a saint at the age of twenty is not too much, throughout the ages, there are many people who become a saint in their twenties. Can...... What about becoming a field in your twenties? How many of these can I sue you, except for the Tulip family...... I can tell you that the snowy mountains are famous for their monsters! Like my teacher...... It can be said that his strength can be ranked in the top ten in two hundred years! Even Du Wei back then may not be my teacher's opponent! But how old was my teacher when he became a field. You know what?"
Chen Daolin shook his head.
"He was already ...... at the time," Mung Bean Cake said this, suddenly blushed, stretched out his fingers and counted for a long time, and said reluctantly with a straight face: "Anyway...... Anyway, I'm already very old!"
"......" Chen Daolin stared at this dragon!
"My teacher has a total of three brothers. I'm sure you've heard of the other two...... Blue Ocean Master, a famous university scholar in the Roland Empire, whose real name is Lan Haiyue, has reached a lot of age. Speaking of geniuses...... Isn't he a genius? Another example is the one who gave Du Wei the seed of strength, who was also my teacher's fellow disciple and brother, and he was at the highest level back then. That seed of power had already reached the point where ......it was not just conforming to the borrowed rules, but being able to create and break the rules at will! Hmph! How old is Du Weiwei? Her twenty-year-old little girl can step into the realm in half a step? Does it make all the top geniuses in history commit suicide in shame?"
"Wait, wait...... You say Blue Ocean Yue...... What about your teacher?" Chen Daolin suddenly opened his mouth: "Your teacher, is he a skinny, not tall, and likes to punch and kick people at every turn?
Mung Bean Cake immediately jumped up and glared at Chen Daolin.
The two looked at each other, and then, Chen Daolin let out a long breath: "Chishui is broken...... Is that your teacher?"
"To be exact, the last teacher I worshipped. Mung Bean Cake thought for a while: "I have a total of three teachers, the first teacher is the one I have been raised by him since I hatched from the dragon egg, his name is ...... Gandov. ”
Chen Daolin was taken aback!
Gandalf!!
The first statue placed in the corridor of the Academy of Magic is this one!!
For the magical civilization of the entire Roland Empire, this is a thunderous name!
"Gandorf is your teacher...... Chishui is also ......" Chen Daolin swallowed and foamed: "You said that you have worshiped three teachers in total...... So who's the third teacher?"
“...... It's Du Wei. ”
“...... I bought ...... last year."
Before Chen Daolin could exclaim, Mung Bean Cake had already scratched his hair speechlessly, and muttered: "It's a pity that he taught me the shortest time, and ...... It didn't teach me anything. ”
Mung Bean Cake sighed: "After I was born, according to their tests, my magical talent was very poor, and it was simply a shame to be a dragon. But my physical body is very strong, almost immortal, and they have always concluded that I have no future in learning magic, and it is better to concentrate on martial arts. So after teaching me for a while, Mr. Gandalf gave up and handed me over to Du Wei. But Du Wei ...... He handed me over to Mr. Chishui again, and Mr. Chishui's martial arts skills were very good, and I followed him to learn until now. ”
Chishui Break's martial arts skills are indeed very strong, and Chen Daolin certainly has a personal experience of this.
"So...... Du Wei really didn't teach you anything?" Chen Daolin suddenly became very curious.
Whether it's Gandalf or Chishui, although they are both very powerful guys, they ...... In terms of popularity and legend, it is still not as good as Du Wei!
What exactly did Du Wei teach this dragon?
"I followed him for a few years. Mung Bean Cake's face suddenly became very strange: "He taught me three things. One is to taste the food. At that time, Mr. Du Wei was concentrating on learning to cook, and every time he made a new food, he would let me taste it first......"
"It's because you're a dragon. If your body is strong, I'm not afraid that you will be poisoned!" Chen Daolin guessed maliciously.
“...... I think so too. Mung Bean Cake muttered.
"That'...... What about the second one?"
Mung Bean Cake tilted his head and thought, "He tried to teach me a strange language. That is, a special written language passed down within the Tulip family. At that time, he said that because this language is very rare in this world, only his tulip descendants will learn it, and I, as a dragon, will live a very long life, in order to ensure that this language will not be accidentally lost, even if something happens to the tulip family, it can also let me, a dragon who can live for thousands of years, pass on this language, so he forced me to learn this language. ”
Chen Daolin was speechless.
Teach one-stop learning Chinese...... This ancestor is really leisurely!
"Have you learned?"
"A little bit of fur. Mung Bean Cake sighed: "Later, it turned out that the brains of our dragon clan seem to be inherently incompatible with this language. Especially a lot of pronunciation. The dragon's structure prevents me from producing many of the sounds of this language. So, Mr. Du Wei finally gave up on this idea. ”
“...... So what is the third one? is it a martial art, a bow and moon dance, and a Jiduluo throat instant hell arrow?"
"Neither. Mung Bean Cake's face suddenly darkened!
The dragon's eyes suddenly showed a bit of grief and indignation!
Yes, that's right, it's grief and indignation??!!
He ...... Over the course of a few months, he taught me several games, one of which was to make fifty-four strange cards and ......"
The mung bean cake chattered for a long time, and through his description, Chen Daolin's eyes were getting bigger and bigger!
"You...... Wait a minute. Chen Daolin cried with a sad face. He took a deep breath: "Are you sure that Du Wei spent months teaching you these things?"
"Yes. Mung Bean Cake thought about it.
Chen Daolin suddenly had an urge to go crazy!
In fact, halfway through the description of mung bean cake, Chen Daolin already knew it clearly. Du Wei spent months teaching this "skill" of mung bean cake!
To put it simply, three words can be clearly explained!
This skill is called ......
Fight! Lord!
......
Chen Daolin suddenly had an urge to look up to the sky and roar!!
A genius disciple with a talent in martial arts was placed by his side, not teaching him anything else, but teaching him to taste food. Chinese, and fight landlords?!
How boring are you!!Dewey!!?!!
......
Chen Daolin, who was in tears, didn't expect it, and he didn't know which bastard it was. put the genius magic student disciple sent by the magic academy, but let a guy with excellent talent in undead magic be a cook for himself......
......
............
"The fountain of youth. ”
Du smiled slightly: "I think you should have quoted the Fountain of Youthlessness when you were very young, right? And the source of the spring water naturally came from my father." ”
Carmen's body trembled more and more!
Under the pressure of black, her golden aura had been devoured to very little, and with all her might, it seemed that she couldn't even produce much more golden rage!
The magic is almost running out!
"The Fountain of Youth, indeed, is a good thing. Du squinted his eyes slightly: "But it also has great side effects." As I said, there is always a price to be paid for breaking the rules! Although the fountain of youth can slow down the metabolism of life to the point of almost solidification, it also has a side effect...... If the metabolism of life is almost stagnant, then the ability to reproduce, which is one of the natural instincts of living beings, will also be deprived!"
Du Wei sneered and continued: "I think when you took this spring water, you must have rejected my father's courtship and pursued a long life. Otherwise, my father's nature would never have given you such spring water. ”
Carmen suddenly bit her lip hard, and she used all her strength to suddenly roar loudly!
"Yes! I made the request to him! I only wish I could have a long life and enough time to reach the end of the magic path!!I only pursue magic and don't think about anything else!That's why your father gave me a bottle of spring water!!Du Weiwei, you, you said enough is enough, don't you !!?"
"No!!"
Du Wei roared loudly.
Her voice was full of ......
Wrath?
......
"Perhaps I should thank you for rejecting your father's courtship and not marrying him. That's why my father married my mother, and there was me in this world. From this point of view, if you had made a different choice at that time, you might have ...... I wouldn't be in this world. Du Weiwei's voice at this moment. Sounds almost cruelly cold!
Carmen pursed her lips.
"But...... My father's fate has changed because of this!"
"What?" said Carmen.
"My father used to have a personal maid by his side. This maid has served my father for many years, and you must be very familiar with it. And then, after my father got married, she left the family castle and married a nobleman of the empire, a baron. It's very interesting where I came from her. I heard a lot about my father's youth, many, many, very interesting things.
The Tulip family is a very strange and very interesting family. It can even be said that ...... It's a somewhat perverted family!
Our family bears too many responsibilities! We are the pillars of the empire, we have to defend the borders of the empire, we have to watch over the empire! At the same time, our family has to abide by the contract with the powerful enemy in the north. Guarding the world of mankind from generation to generation!
The Pillar of the Roland Empire?haha! What a nice name!
And I, I prefer to call it the gatekeeper of the Roland Empire!!
We guard the gates for the Roland Empire, one generation is not enough. Two generations, three generations, all generations?
The throne? That's the Augustinian's!
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the Tulip Family is glorious enough and has enjoyed too many privileges!
But no one has ever asked us if this qiē is what we want!
No!
Starting from the ancestor Du Wei, it seems that this qiē is taken for granted!?
Do you know what a heavy burden this janitor's responsibility has placed on the Tulip family?
Every generation of Tulip Dukes did not dare to slack off in the slightest! Because only we know what a dangerous situation we are facing!
How powerful are the enemies of the North!!
Every generation of Duke Tulip has to break through the realm of strength with the fastest speed! Holy Rank? That's not enough at all!
Do you know what a heavy price it will take to break through your strength in the shortest possible time?!
You just drank the fountain of youth, reversed youth, and lost the ability to reproduce!
Then, in a short period of time, forcibly raise your strength to the Holy Rank, or even the realm...... So what a price will be paid for such a reckless breaking of the rules?!"
Carmen's eyes widened.
"Tulip family's head...... There's a curse that can't be dispelled!" Du smiled miserably.
"When did it start...... Probably from the time of the ancestor Du Wei.
Ancestor Du Wei discovered a strange situation, as he grew older and his strength increased, he felt that he was rejected by this world.
It's a subtle feeling that outsiders can't understand it.
Ancestor Du Wei left a note and said that that feeling is always there!
Eat, sleep, drink...... With every breath, I feel that even the air seems to be repelling me.
It's as if there is an invisible force trying to 'squeeze' and 'pull' itself out of this world!
Moreover, this feeling will become more and more intense as the realm of power increases!
The Patriarch had asked others, and had asked other powerful contemporaries of his time.
But neither the elves on the snowy mountains nor the elves in the north felt like this.
The ancestor understood, perhaps, this was just a curse that fell on him alone.
For a while, the ancestors even gave up cultivation, allowing their strength to stagnate at the original realm and no longer progress. But when he reached that realm, even if he didn't take the initiative to cultivate, his growing perception would make his strength increase slowly!
The ancestor even lived a ridiculous life, during that time, he was even not doing his job properly in the eyes of outsiders, doing all kinds of boring things, just hoping to keep himself away from cultivation and the growth of strength.
But finally one day. The ancestors still left.
He left one last note, which he left for his descendants.
In his notes, he said:
When the time comes, I can feel it myself. My realm has finally broken through to the last step. But this feeling is getting stronger and stronger, and it can hardly be delayed for a moment. I think my time here is over. The world can no longer accommodate my save.
Why didn't Lao Duan and that sissy elf feel this way? Why didn't Lao Bai feel this way?
I think the real reason is probably because ...... I don't belong to this world in the first place.
...... So, the ancestor Du Wei left.
Those of us who stayed, no one knew where he went.
Even the people around him left with him. His wife, along with several of his close associates, all disappeared into this world without a trace! If he leaves, he will definitely take everyone with him!
But the only problem is...... Where they went, we have no way of knowing. ”
Du Weiwei said this, and deliberately glanced at Carmen.
Carmen gritted her teeth: "You ...... Sue me for these. Isn't this a secret of your tulip family?"
"Don't worry, soon you will forget all the qiē I said today, and completely forget about jì. Du sneered slightly.
Carmen's face changed.
Du Weiwei didn't look at her. Instead, he turned his head to look at the shining star in the void in the distance.
The broomstick star.
She continued to whisper to herself:
"The Patriarch and his descendants originally thought that this curse was only inflicted on the grandfather alone. But soon, later, after the first Duke of the Ancestor left this world, the second Duke of Tulip cultivated to a certain level in strength...... I found out that I also encountered the same problem!
He began to ...... Excluded from the world!
The air, the water, the flowers, and even the light seem to exude a sense of exclusion.
It's like ...... A thorn in the flesh must be pulled out to make people happy.
And the people of the Tulip family are the thorns!
There is an invisible force that will relentlessly try to get the Tulip family out of this world and get them to other places.
This power will become more and more obvious and intense as the strength of the Tulip family increases.
The second duke didn't know it at first, he was Du Wei's son! It was the hope and pride of the entire empire, no, the entire human race! He never slacked off himself, and worked hard to improve his strength, because he had the seed of power left by the ancestor Du Wei, so the second generation of dukes cultivated very fast!
He is hailed as another generation of geniuses!
But fate once again fell on his head!
Moreover, his fate is even more tragic than that of the ancestor Du Wei!
When Ancestor Du Wei left this world, we thought that his strength had broken through the realm, and he had reached the realm early......! He has reached the realm of the legendary gods.
So, Du Wei left, and took his wife and partner with him.
However, when it came to the second duke, although the second duke was also a genius, he was not as good as the ancestor Du Wei.
When his strength breaks through to the realm...... And he left this world.
When he left, he was alone!
In one night, it suddenly disappeared completely, and there was no trace left!
His wife cried for a whole month about it!"
Du Weiwei's face was a little distorted, and he said in a low voice: "This is a curse that fell on the Tulip family, or rather, a shackle!"
It seems that our bloodline should not exist in this world at all!
This fate has continued to fall on the subsequent generations of the Tulip family!
Generations leave important messages and notes. By my father's generation, things had basically become clear.
As long as the bloodline of our Tulip Family, once the strength reaches the realm, then the time to stay in this world will enter the countdown!
The fastest is three or five years, and the slowest. It won't be more than ten years!
Unless, we choose not to improve our strength......
However, as the pillar of the empire, how could Duke Tulip not have enough strength to protect against a strong enemy in the north?
It's like drinking a donkey to quench your thirst, knowing that it's poison, you have to drink it!
Knowing that once his strength improves, there are not many days left, and he has to pursue power!
The one who left may not be dead...... We believe that the great ancestors should have gone to another world, another dimension...... But what about those who stay?
The wife of the second duke. After a month of crying, I died of depression!
My mother...... And so it is!
No one likes parting, especially this eternal parting!
An irresistible, unstoppable parting!
We are trying our best to watch over this empire, but we can't stop our fate from coming to this inevitable step!
And my father ...... I thought I'd give up!"
Hearing the last sentence, Carmen's eyes suddenly showed a trace of sadness.
"Give up?"
......
"I heard from the maid beside my father that my father was not very enthusiastic about cultivation before, especially in the years when I met you, he almost abandoned his personal cultivation. His strength was much worse than that of all the dukes in history. Because he seemed to be trying to avoid that terrible curse.
He is not like the people who came before him. Leave this world very quickly.
The most important reason is that he knows you!
I heard the maid tell me that my father once said it privately after a drink. Even if he can't become a strong person, as long as he can stay in this world for a long time and be with you for a lifetime, it is the greatest happiness for him.
Look at it!
A tulip duke with power at his fingertips. In order to stay with you for a long time, I am willing to give up my strength and family mission, and my responsibility ...... He even planned to take that seed of power. He even planned to give up the title of Duke Tulip! He had even secretly chosen a candidate, who was a relative of the family and had the blood of the Tulip family, but it was not a direct line.
Father was going to give up the seed of power to that man along with the title of Duke Tulip, and then ...... With you for a lifetime.
You, on the other hand, are pursuing power in pursuit of the path of magic...... pursued a long life, but gave up love, rejected love, cut off this relationship, and rejected his father.
Isn't that irony?
Just after you rejected your father...... My father chose to marry the woman the family had chosen, my mother.
Disheartened, he chose to take on the mission of the Tulip family. Back to the life trajectory that a tulip duke should have.
You should remember that in the winter of that year, after your father got married, he sent someone to give you that bottle of the fountain of youth, right?
That's the last thing he does to help you fulfill your wishes!
And what you may not know is...... On the same day that the Fountain of Youth's Youthfulness was given to you.
Father...... The seed of that power was used!
Embarked on to become a strong one, and then ...... And then finally leave the road. ”
When Du Weiwei said this, she suddenly had a bright smile on her face!
The smile is unusually bright!
"Now, I think you understand a little bit, right?"
Du smiled slightly, but his eyes were so cruel!
"What I have done is to put an end to the curse of the Tulip Family! End the heavy mission and heavy burden of the Tulip Family! The Tulip Family no longer needs to be someone else's gatekeeper! In the future, we will only be the gatekeeper for ourselves! The Tulip Family no longer needs to embark on the road of being strong, and we no longer need to go through the pain of being forced to experience parting and experiencing the pain of being torn apart by our relatives! We no longer need to count the time we have stayed in this world and live a miserable life!"
Du Weiwei said this, and raised a few fingers: "This is what I want to do! First, I will put an end to this Augustinian dynasty! The Tulip family will become the new emperor! Second, I will put an end to all the enemies on this continent in my generation! In the future, there will be no more descendants of mine who will be forced to become strong and forced to improve their strength! After all the enemies are eliminated...... The Tulip family will no longer have to go through these fates! We can be like the Augustinian royalty today! The curse of the realm is no longer needed!!The Holy Order, the realm! If all the powerful enemies are eliminated by me...... Then the heavy shackles of the tulip family will be completely let go!
Dean Carmen...... So, no matter what, I'm not going to give up! This is the heavy shackles of my tulip family for generations! Do you think I'm going to be persuaded casually?
Whoever stands in my way will become my enemy!!" (To be continued......
