Chapter 8: A Different Kind of Eternal Life
Alan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this......
An elf who has never met before did not hesitate to violate the absolute rules of his heart and hand over his elven roots to a human being...... This means that it voluntarily gave up its existence in exchange for the survival of a human being......
It's unbelievable......
"It seems that the elves are not as cold and heartless as they seem...... The best proof of this is that this soul can make this decision after learning about its relationship with Mr. Adrian during his lifetime......" Alan couldn't help but think, "but perhaps it is because they can look at all this from an objective and fair standpoint without emotion, that they can make this decision......"
"That's awesome......" Riel looked envious when he learned all this, "Eternal life...... This is something that many people dream of...... Frost tried his best to get his wish, and you're lucky to have met this elf......"
"Huh...... Lucky ......" Old Adrian laughed and shook his head, "I thought so at first, but now, I can't tell if it's lucky or not......"
Riel was stunned, and he actually heard a bit of bitterness in Old Adrian's words.
"This ...... Maybe it's a joke played by fate......" Old Adrian's face was heavy, and as he spoke, he lowered his collar and pointed to his shoulder, "Because the elven root she gave me not only saved my life, but also kept another thing......"
Old Adrian was not dressed thickly, so he could clearly see a deep scar under his left shoulder blade.
"This is what was left behind after the tail of the MONOCULUS swept over me...... said old Adrian, "and it seems to you that the wound has healed, but in fact, a spike in its tail has been left inside......
"You mean...... Part of the MONOCULUS?" Alan was a little surprised.
"Yes...... old Adrian nodded solemnly, "it has been aching in me for so long...... I can feel that over the long years it has gradually become one with me, into my blood, into my bone marrow...... It's like a stubborn illness that comes up every once in a while, and it's hard for me to bear...... And the most recent episode was ...... a day ago."
"A day ago!" the news made Alan chuckle in his heart......
That was the day the MONOCULUS was awakened by Arn...... And the anomaly that old Adrian described as happening to him seemed to bear some resemblance to the strange disease that the Wagbein family had inherited for generations......
"Sure enough...... It has something to do with MONOCULUS......" Alan muttered.
"I share your opinion, and I'm more and more sure......," said Old Adrian, "that just because the MONOCULUS is sealed underground, doesn't mean it's dead...... As far as I know, the seal has a weakening cycle, and its effect will be weakened regularly every once in a while, although it will not allow the MONOCULUS to escape from it, but the power to suppress the MONOCULUS will be weakened, and the MONOCULUS's activities in the underground will be correspondingly enhanced...... So now with its reawakening, this feeling in me is getting stronger and stronger......"
"I see...... The reason why Arn has not been heard from for so many years is precisely because he is waiting for this seal to weaken!" Alan suddenly realized.
"Yes, I think so too. "I can feel that the activity of the MONOCULUS is closely related to the changes in my body...... The more intense it became, the more obvious my pain became...... On the other hand, for example, now that it tends to settle down, I am not so miserable......"
"So about the current state of the MONOCULUS...... What do you think?" Alan asked, "You said it just now, it's not normal......
"Yes, this is the third time I've seen the Magic Eye......," said old Adrian, "the first time and the second time it came three hundred years ago, it was extremely irritable, constantly destroying everything in sight, but it was not this quiet and honest appearance......
"Yes, not only did it appear unusually quiet this time, but it acted as if it had been planned and premeditated...... It's like having a brain, you can think......" Cynthia couldn't help but interject when she heard this, "You can also manipulate the dark element perfectly!"
"It's because ......," said old Adrian, who looked at her silently, hesitated for a moment, "and this time, it has a master......"
"Master!?" everyone was stunned when they heard this.
"Although this is just my guess...... But it's not unfounded......," said Old Adrian.
Although Alan was also taken aback, he remembered the similarities between Arn and MONOCULUS, and vaguely guessed something.
"Although its second coming was also man-made, no one could manipulate it at that time...... "and this time it was different...... This time, it was awakened by the fact that Arn, who had inherited the same power as it......"
"I see!" Allen suddenly realized when he heard this, "his eyes ...... No wonder his eyes can see those things! that's what MONOCULUS has to do!"
"That's right......," Old Audrian nodded, "the one eye of the MONOCULUS can draw out the darkness of the human heart, and Arn has been able to see these ...... since he was a child"
"And that's not all!" Alan couldn't help but feel a little excited after seeing the truth, "I've heard him talk about that unique psychic magic...... The kind of spiritual magic that can make people lose their minds and delude their minds is also achieved through the darkness that draws out people's hearts, and it is almost exactly the same as the power of the magic eye!"
Alan then understood why old Adrian had just said that Arn was born with a curse...... In a way, this is indeed a curse, and a curse from the most evil and terrible creature in history......
"That'...... Could it be that the reason why he is still alive ......" Thinking of this, Alan suddenly had another guess: "Is it the power of the elves?
"No, not the power of the elves...... This elven root is still in me, intact, and I can feel ......it," said old Adrian firmly, "but with his birth, he took away a lot of the original pain from me......"
"Ahh......h
"Yes, if my guess is correct, what has sustained him until now is another immortal force...... said old Adrian.
"That's ...... The power of the MONOCULUS!"
