Chapter 330, Melcallus and Lonita
"Why, Master, now that you've proven the viability of the Water of Resurrection formula, why don't you let this magical recipe pass on?"
Solo asked eagerly, he refused before he could open his mouth, so how to talk next.
"Bringing the dead back to life is a matter of rebellion against fate, not to mention whether you can pass my assessment or not, even if you pass, I promise to give you the formula, where do you go to find the billions of sinful people who sacrificed their lives?"
"Didn't you succeed in doing it after spending three hundred years, and if you can do it, then I believe I can too!!"
Solo shouted loudly, for the sake of his father, don't say 300 years, even if it is 3000 years, he will not give up.
"Heh~300 years, do you know that what I regret the most is these three hundred years! I hate myself for hypocritically insisting on the so-called fairness and justice and only harvesting the lives of those who have committed the most heinous crimes!! If I hadn't wasted so much time on this, if I had torn off my hypocritical pretense in the first place, if I had found out about my wife sooner, I wouldn't have had much time!! It's a pity that there was no if, because of my weakness, because of my hypocrisy, because of my incompetence, I ended up completely losing her, ah!!"
Outside the window, the forest sea came from the angry sea, and the originally clear sky was now gloomy, and the light in the small cabin and the stove also flickered, obviously there was no wind, but it seemed to be extinguished at any time.
Mercallus' roar lasted for a long time, and Sawo listened quietly without saying a word.
After a long time, perhaps the depression in his heart was vented a little, and Melcallus's mood began to gradually stabilize.
"I'm sorry, junior, for letting you see the joke. β
"It doesn't matter, Master, you must love your wife very much, and I don't think she wants you to dwell on the past in heaven. β
"Yes, Lonita is the love of my life, and the days I spend with her are the happiest days of my life. She is so beautiful and kind, in my heart she is like the bright moon in the sky, always so pure and immaculate.
It is precisely because of Lonita's influence that I would rather spend 300 years hunting down those who have committed the most heinous crimes, rather than harming any innocent beings.
Before I met her, my research direction was - poison. I don't know how many deadly poisons I have refined, and I can't remember the people who fell under my poisons, and although I don't think I'm a vicious person, I'm not a good person. In order to refine a stronger poison, I can do whatever it takes.
I wasn't until I met her, I was 80 years old when I met her, but because of the treasure, I was forever 28 years old, and Lonita looked like a teenager at the time. I remember the day I was looking for ingredients to make poisons in a primeval forest on Sea, only to get lost in it. By mistake, I came to a mirror-like lake, where I met her.
I will always remember the first time I saw her, she was wearing a long dress made of leaves and flowers by the lake, humming songs I had never heard before, and the hordes of animals gathered around her, she was like a fairy in a fairy tale, no, she was an elf, and that purity and simplicity attracted me all the time.
I stepped forward cautiously, for fear of scaring her. Maybe my disguise was so bad that she could see through it at a glance, but instead of avoiding me, she took the initiative to come forward and stand in front of me with a bright smile. I don't know how a little girl could be in such a primeval forest with no family around. But I knew I was in love with her, in love with such a little girl.
In the days that followed, I began to get acquainted with her, perhaps because she had never seen a human other than me, so soon she saw me as her family and became more and more dependent on me. I spent the best three months of my life at that lake. β
Melcallus's words were full of sweetness and warmth, and to meet his lover at such an age, perhaps he had forgotten what his purpose was by then.
However, it didn't take long for sweetness and warmth to turn into pain and remorse.
"Three months later, our relationship has been confirmed. I wanted to take her out and see the outside world, but she wanted me to stay in the forest. In fact, I also have some selfish intentions, I don't want the rest of my life to stay in a deserted forest, I long for the prosperity of human society. Eventually, Lonita relented, and she offered to go out with me in order not to embarrass me.
I was naturally happy to return to human society, and in order to let Lonita get used to it first, I settled in a remote town, and I wanted to wait for her to get used to human society before finding a chance to move to a big city. And in order to make Lonita happy, I promised her that I would never use poison easily in the future, and we opened a clinic in the town together, and each poison alchemist is naturally also a master of healing potions, I am a doctor, and Lonita is a nurse.
There were often small flu outbreaks in the town, and there were a lot of people at the clinic at this time, and Lonita was so busy that no matter how much I tried to persuade her, she always laughed it off, and said that as long as she saw the smiling faces of the patients, it was all worth it.
Anyone who has been to the clinic has said that Lonita is a good nurse and a good wife, and God will bless us both.
A few years passed before I knew it, and when I was about to forget about my plan to take Lonita to the big city, an unexpected illness struck from the sky. It was a disease I had never seen before, horribly contagious and destructive, and even my medicine could only slow the symptoms but not cure them.
People die every day in the town, I originally wanted to take Lonita away, but after a few years of getting along, Lonita has already regarded the people in the town as family, so she resolutely refused to leave, and finally what I was worried about still happened, Lonita also contracted that damn disease!!
Now that I think about it, I'm such a bastard, why did I have to chase the bustling vanity out there in the first place!! Why did I choose such a town!! Why wasn't it me who was sick!! If I were given another chance, I would not hesitate to choose to spend the rest of my life with her in that forest, but there was no ......."
Pain and remorse filled Mercallus' heart, and Sawo could feel the endless self-reproach in Mercallus' words.
"Seeing Lonita weaken day by day, and there was nothing I could do, in the end I had to choose to freeze her body and keep her last life. As you know, I've worked out the recipe for the Water of Soul Rebirth and Rebirth. I thought I would have enough time to gather those 100 million lives, but I was still naΓ―ve. β
