Whispering Poems

Chapter 1600 Longevity and the Enemy in the Fog

Xia De took his hands away from the wall, straightened his waist and raised his head, looking at the entire family tree from the original point of origin:
"One person in the first generation, two people in the second generation, three people in the third generation, and six people in the sixth generation. The seemingly ordinary old crazy family that multiplied here finally left these roots that are still alive and dead. And each root system has the possibility of multiplying more offspring, which is really impressive. If the lifespan of Edwards is in line with normal people, then..."

He suddenly asked in his heart:

"Last time on the roof of the opera house, what was the core spirit rune of the Fulun brothers?"

[Space, not old, twins. 】

"What did you think of again?"

Seeing that Xia De was halfway through speaking, the pharmacist lady asked again, and Xia De shook his head again, which made the sorceress obviously a little annoyed:

"I found that you are not very interested in the elixir researched by Edwards, but in the descendants of Edwards. If possible, can you tell me, what exactly are you going to do?"

"This can be said-my tutor found a letter from the Edwards family a hundred years ago, which contained an important ritual symbol, and that symbol was related to the tutor's secret research. The tutor asked me to investigate the Edwards family to find the ritual meaning of the symbol."

"With a young six-ring magician like you as a student, your mentor is either very beautiful or very strong."

"Or both."

Xia De smiled, looked at Miss Pharmacist again, and asked tentatively:

"Are you interested in that ritual symbol?"

"Interested, but I'm not a member of the Edwards family."

Miss Pharmacist said, and said sarcastically:

"However, I am surprised that you said that you are not interested in the elixir of life. All living people are afraid of death. This is human instinct. Maybe you just haven't reached that stage."

"I have 【Youth Is Not Old Leaf】."

Shad said very cautiously:
"And my high-ring warlock friend shared with me some, the fifth era witch emperor's, um... the secret art of immortality."

He continued to test the woman, but the woman looked as usual.

"I have seen very real death. For me, the meaning of living lies not in the life itself, but in the process. I am not a philosopher, and I can't explain too many truths. I can only say that mortals are mortal, and I cherish every second of being alive and what I have now."

The outsider who has lived out his second life is really moved by his own words:
"Compared to a longer life, a quality life, a life that can feel the temperature, is the most precious."

The sorceress' eyes drifted away for a moment, and her voice softened inexplicably:
"A life with temperature. It's as if you have died."

Xia De smiled and did not refute. I don't know if it was because he knew the purpose of Xia De's investigation, but Miss Pharmacist's next tone was more gentle:
"Eternal life can also be regarded as a curse. If you can realize this, it means that you are smarter than most ring magicians. Now write down this picture, your mentor will be very satisfied, I dare you Bet that no matter how well-informed he or she is, he or she will definitely not be able to investigate these clues."

"Yeah, unless you see it with your own eyes, who would know that the Edwards family has produced so many descendants after leaving Green Lake Town?"

Xia De looked at the bloody root system map:
"And I'm even more curious about who continued to write about the descendants. Or, this picture itself has the power to automatically continue writing?"

It doesn't take time to copy this picture, Xia De reads "her" once and remembers it, after returning home, Xia De uses [Silver Moon Library] to draw out the book, and then copy it again.

After confirming that Xia De had written down all the contents, Miss Pharmacist used another bottle of potion to "wash" away the contents on the restaurant wall.Shad also said while waiting:
"It seems that the Edwards family really values ​​family members."

"Why do you say that?"

"They put the family tree on the wall of the restaurant, so that everyone can see it when they eat. But speaking of it, the information of the sixth generation of Edwards has already reached the bottom of this wall. If they If there are any more descendants, wouldn’t this wall be impossible to write on?”

As he spoke, he looked at Miss Pharmacist, and said another possibility:
"Or, the person who made this picture originally thought that the family would end by the sixth generation, or that the sixth generation would have completed a certain mission?"

"Look what I do, I don't know these things."

Miss Pharmacist glanced at him, Shade then nodded:
"Then thank you very much for being able to go to the island with me. This journey went very smoothly."

"It's not free, that piece of oricha is worth it."

After talking, the two planned to leave the mansion, Xia De didn't think there were any clues that he could easily find.He planned to investigate again in the Green Lake area, and if he had any clues, he would land on the island again. Anyway, he could walk on water and run faster than that steamboat.

"In addition, if you still have special metals such as mithril and fine gold, you can also contact me. I have been buying such scarce commodities for a long time."

The sorceress added another sentence, and Xia De joked:

"If I have the Philosopher's Stone, will you accept it?"

The pharmacist obviously didn't think about the truth of this sentence, and she showed a rare smile, which is also evidence that her opinion of Xia De has changed:
"Of course, I will accept all the property. Do you know that the Edwards family really released the news that they wanted to buy the Philosopher's Stone before they were destroyed. But they are just ordinary people, so what's the matter?"

She frowned suddenly, and looked at the thick fog at the door of the building with Xia De.Xia De also closed his mouth. Although his eyes could not see anything yet, his perception had already discovered that two people were moving towards here.

The opponent's level is obviously inferior to that of the lady who is traveling with Xia De, and his perception ability is far inferior to Xia De, so they have not found Xia De for the time being.

"I remember you said that people don't necessarily go to the island once in a few months."

Xia De said softly, and the pharmacist frowned slightly:

"Now is not the time to talk about this, and I didn't expect to meet other people. But, who would come here? There is obviously nothing left on this island."

She took out another glass tube the size of half an index finger from her small satchel, and the container contained a mercury-like silver liquid:

"Go and get rid of those two people and leave at least one alive."

"Wait a minute, why am I going by myself, even if you can't use the power of the high ring, you can do it with me, isn't it more convenient? And, what is this you gave me?"

Xia De asked in surprise.

"Men always have so many questions."

The sorceress complained, throwing the vial to Shad:
"You just go. My current situation is very complicated. If you can't do it, try not to do it. This liquid allows you to use a low-level sublimation language directly. Although the effect is a little worse than the prepared sublimation language , but at least there are no side effects."

"what?"

Xia De hurriedly caught the thrown glass container, and the "she" next to her ear said softly:

[There is no specific area as a condition, and you cannot use the sublimation language of the low ring to summon the demigod witch in the past anyway. 】

"Ma'am, how can I use the language of sublimation to deal with these two people?"

He then stuffed the glass tube into his pocket and patted it to prevent it from slipping out:
"When you want to ask questions later, I will also listen to you."

The sorceress glanced at him and nodded:

"As long as you're not afraid of getting into trouble, it's fine. Let me remind you, those two people are on the same level as you, so don't be too careless."

"I know, that's why I told you to rest assured. Although I am young, I actually have a lot of combat experience."

As he spoke, he pulled out a black key from his chest, whispered something that the sorceress didn't understand, and as the light flickered under Shad's feet, the key in his hand extended to both sides until it formed a pitch-black wooden cane.

Miss Pharmacist raised her eyebrows:

"A relic? Or a staff? It's really rare, no wonder you are so confident."

"Yeah, I'm relying on this weapon."

Shad walked towards the fog.

He didn't rely on himself to discover the other party in advance and carry out a sneak attack. It would be bad if the other party was a member of the church.He kept walking forward, until the two ring magicians who were obviously insensitive also stopped and looked at him, then Xia De stopped.

At this time, both sides can clearly perceive the existence of the other party, but they can only see the blurred figure of the other party in the fog.

"who are you?"

Xia De asked directly, but the answer he got was that one of the two suddenly waved to him.

Fragments of light flashed through the fog, Xia De raised his hand and used the [Yuktrazil Staff] to block forward, only to hear a soft "bang", and the shining but almost transparent "spinning" A dart-like weapon was knocked into the air by the staff.

But it wasn't over yet, the boomerang flew into the thick fog and spun for a while, then turned around and hit Shad again.

"This is... a spiritual weapon?"

Xia De raised his eyebrows. Except for Sister Devlin's ice-colored sickle, he rarely encountered opponents who were as good at using spiritual weapons as he:

"Spiritual weapons are not omnipotent!"

This time, instead of raising the staff, he swung upwards with his empty right hand, and the "Moonlight Slash" attached to his palm flashed through the fog, not even the pharmacist lady behind Xia De. Capturing details other than that flash of light, the boomerang shattered into dots of light in the fog.

The shattering of the spiritual weapon did not distract the enemy. The two people who couldn't see clearly in the fog quickly separated, and then approached Xia De from left to right while casting spells.Xia De then shook the staff in his hand, several moon halos on the top of the staff flew towards the two of them one after another.
