"What is life?" A little boy was lying on the wall of his house, looking up at the sky, with one foot hanging on the side of the wall, dangling constantly.
"Why don't you feel hungry when you eat? Why do you feel so hard if you don't breathe? Why do children get born when a man is with a woman? Why do people eventually die? Why do I think so much about it?"
"Misius, get down here, it's time for lunch!"
"Okay, Dad!"
"Why does my father's roar make me feel afraid?" Even at this moment, the little boy named Michus still did not forget to ask himself why?
Curiosity is the nature of children. They will instinctively be full of curiosity about everything they come into contact with and want to understand why they are thinking. The difference is that most children's curiosity cannot be maintained for a long time.
, basically whenever another new thing appears, they will forget the previous thing and turn to the new thing.
But Misius is different. He has never changed since he first became interested in life! At a young age, he even set up a dream for himself, hoping to decipher the mysteries of life!
Of course, this dream may make many people sneer at it. A mere brat trying to challenge the rights of gods is really desperate. However, the gap between people lies in this place. Sometimes, if you can persevere, even if you cannot reach it in the end.
The end point, but you will also find that you are getting closer to your dream every moment. This sense of accomplishment cannot be described in words!
"Why do I feel sad when my father dies? Do I feel angry? Why do people shed tears when they are sad? Why do people feel their heart beating wildly when they are angry?"
At this moment, Michus was kneeling in front of his father's tombstone, with expressionless tears. Michus's father was a dock porter in Suldover, another port city in Britain. Although due to the geographical location
The reason is that this city is not as prosperous as Yalaschi, but countless goods are still loaded and unloaded at this port every day.
Capitalists have always used civilians regardless of life and death, let alone the nobles of the world of Faerûn, so Michus's father finally became too tired one day and failed to avoid the cargo that fell from the ship, and was smashed alive.
He died, leaving Michus alone in this world.
As for Michus's mother, she died shortly after Michus was born. As mentioned before, the sanitary conditions in the world of Faerun are very poor, and there is a serious lack of protection for women who give birth. Many women are pregnant after giving birth.
Got sick!
Even so, Michus still never gave up his dream to study the true meaning of life, but he had one more dream, to avenge his father and end the life of that nobleman.
With only one person left in the family, Michus quickly became an alchemist's assistant and apprentice with his clever mind. Perhaps it was because of his constant thinking that Michus was very good at whatever he studied.
Soon, in just one year, he discovered that the alchemist was no longer as good as himself, but he was eager to learn more profound knowledge. Yes, he still did not give up his dream, because he knew that he wanted to study life.
Mysteries, alchemy is a springboard!
With higher pursuits, he resolutely left his comfortable environment and came to Zemas, the capital of Britain. There, the holy land of alchemists, he was like a sponge, constantly absorbing nutrients. When he was 18 years old,
That year, he became the most famous folk alchemist in Britain, so of course, he was spotted by the Royal Alchemy Laboratory. After investigating his background, he was included in the Royal Alchemy Experiment.
room, and at this time, he finally fulfilled his later dream and avenged his father!
He didn't know how tragically the noble died. Obviously, the Royal Alchemy Laboratory didn't want this genius boy to be obsessed with revenge all his life. It just told him clearly that the noble had been executed!
It seemed that something had been let go in his heart. Six years later, Michus shed tears again. At the same time, it was also the last time in this young man's life that he shed tears, because there was nothing in this world worth making him cry for!
The Royal Alchemy Laboratory did not misjudge this young man. He seemed to be a rising star who had solved countless problems for the Royal Alchemy Laboratory.
Time flies, and finally when he was thirty-five years old, with the help of the Royal Alchemy Laboratory, he established the world's first life alchemy laboratory in Faerûn, and he was naturally the head of this department.
Maybe he was too proud, maybe he was too obsessed with research, or maybe he had no respect for life in his heart and just wanted to crack it and then step on it. In the following years, he quietly used
He conducted experiments on countless living people! Needless to say, the results were obvious. How could he not get his shoes wet when he often stood by the river? The new king Arthur Pendry, who had just taken office, issued an order to burn all the materials and all the people involved in the use of living people.
The experimental alchemist was put to death!
"What exactly is life?" He laughed to himself as he sat in the prison car and rushed to the execution ground, thinking about this question for the last time.
Although his hands were full of blood, he never regretted it. In his opinion, it was just a stepping stone for him to move forward towards his dream. Obviously, today's Michus is no longer the innocent young man in the past, but a man who will do whatever it takes to pursue his dream.
madman!
"Do you want to continue studying your alchemy of life?" A man wearing a black cloak, with gorgeous black armor underneath, and a strange black mask appeared in front of him. He was holding a handful of thin
The long and slender stabbing sword, the blood on the tip of the sword, and the stopped prison car proved that he had killed all the soldiers!
"Think!" Michus replied decisively without any hesitation.
"Then give me your soul! I will give you everything you want and let you continue your dream!"
"good!"
After Michus said that good word, he felt as if there was suddenly a chain in his mind, and the other end of the chain was on the person in front of him, who didn't know whether he was a man or a woman. Obviously, his
The soul truly belongs to him!
"But, what does it matter?" Michus laughed wildly, and the laughter sounded so crazy, "As long as you let me study the true meaning of life, even if you are the devil, so what? Hahahaha...
..”
"Huh~~" Michus suddenly sat up and took a deep breath. Apparently he had a dream just now. In that dream, he actually looked back on his life. Looking at the age spots on his hands, he couldn't help but
Sighing, I really didn't expect that I would be over sixty years old in the blink of an eye.
Michus is just an ordinary person. So many years of research day and night have also made his body very bad. In the world of Faerun, where the average age is eighty or ninety years old, he was already sixty years old.
He was getting old, and he knew that his remaining days were probably numbered.
Since he was rescued by the man in black armor, his research direction has changed. First of all, all the information accumulated over the years has disappeared, so it is impossible to continue the immortality project! Then the man gave him a copy
Information, but it seemed to open another door for him, that is, invisible life!
This information even subverted his worldview. It turned out that there was life in places invisible to the eyes! This discovery was like the goblin discovering the New World, so in the next few years, he devoted all his passion to
Invested in the research of this invisible life.
Until a while ago, he fainted during a research, and then the man in black told him that his life was coming to an end. Is there anything else he wanted to do? Looking at his dedicated research in the past few years,
On, he can fulfill his wish.
Michus thought for a while. If Arthur Pendry hadn't destroyed his research materials back then, then maybe he would have successfully researched immortality today and could live forever until he could truly decipher what life is.
first dreams!
"I want revenge!" After thinking for a long time, he said slowly, "I want to take revenge on Arthur Pendry!"
"Although I don't think you will succeed, I will grant your wish and you can take revenge yourself!"
The man in black still wore a mask, and his voice was mixed with neutrality, and was extremely mysterious. Michus had known him for so many years, and he didn't even know whether he was a man or a woman, what his name was, and what his purpose was. However,
What Misius knows is that he has paid at least one million gold coins to study this invisible life in the past few years. Therefore, his plot is definitely not small, but this is not the same as himself, a dying man.
People no longer matter.
A burst of green light flashed, and the man in black appeared next to Misius, interrupting Mishu's thoughts. He knew that this was the ability of the man in black, so he had been accustomed to the man in black for so many years.
Elusive and mysterious.
"Your first batch of undead army has been almost burned by the sun mirror of the Sun Temple. Do you want to continue?"
Misius did not answer his question, but asked, "I have known you for so long, can I know your name?"
The man in black thought for a moment and replied, "Xiu Yi, Xiu Yi Haier."
Michus nodded slightly, "Of course I have to continue, even if I know I can't defeat that King of Knights, I still have to tell the world with actions, never underestimate us alchemists! Especially those mages,
Now they must be suffering! Humph!" Obviously, as Sinkid's boss, Michus was once the same as Sinkid, and he was not less angry with the mage!
Xiue Haier shook his head, "Not only have you made those mages suffer, your living undead souls that can swallow the magic of life have killed more than a hundred priestesses of the Temple of Life. According to my information
, there are currently at least two hundred temple knights in Britain rushing to Zemas, including three high-level knights! In addition to Yalaschi, several other major cities have also assigned some steam mechas! "
"So what," said Michus and sneered a few times, "When did the Necromancer fear the human sea tactic? The more people come, the greater the loss I will cause him!"
"If that's the case, then you should be happy for yourself. According to the agreement, I will take away your soul after your death."
"Whatever, I'm not God's chosen one anyway. It doesn't matter whether I belong to the God of Death or to you."
