Nisi looked at Papa with vigilance as if facing a formidable enemy. One bag of gold coins would make friends turn against each other, and three bags of gold coins would make father and son kill each other. This was a saying widely circulated among the residents in this era, four seats
Fifty-four percent of the people on the mainland have no food to eat and sleep in the open air. Forty-five percent of the people live hand to mouth and live a life of walking zombies. Only one percent of the people are enjoying the sweat of others and do not even need to
What to pay.
A bag of gold coins is like this, but what about a relic of the old gods?
Papa kept his eyes wide open, staring at Nisi's clothes, and said quietly: "Damn it, girl, what on earth did you do? Show me what you are hiding."
Nisi backed away step by step. She saw greed in Papa's eyes. It is a good idea to be emotional at this time. Nisi said: "Papa, we have known each other for six years, and I will give it to you every year."
Send a letter, remember?"
Papa swam close to Nisi and Norman. Suddenly, it showed a trace of hesitation, and then two tentacles clenched its fists and beat itself repeatedly. After it spit out a lot of bubbles, it could rest on the mud wall: "Of course I remember.
,Nice, our relationship has gotten better and better in the past few years in Bloodsport... Damn it, you won't... You won't get a relic of the old gods, right? That hammerhead shark said before that there is a head in the trench.
The giant mermaid that has lived for hundreds of years is about to wake up. It has Sfatoa's relics on its body. Is this fantasy true? Kid, quickly take out a purple leaf from the reagent bottle in the lower right corner of area 8 on my desk.
Remember, it’s purple! "
Norman moved to the work table. Taking advantage of Papa's brief period of clarity, this was the first time in the past two days that Norman saw Papa's working place up close. There are twelve on the alchemist's stone workbench.
Area, each area is filled with dozens of palm-sized bubble balls, which contain various materials and glass reagent bottles with labels in mermaid language. Following Papa's instructions, Norman found two in Area 8
Glass bottles, the reagent bottle placed inside the bubble ball on the right has three purple leaves, while the reagent bottle on the left has an almost transparent leaf stem with a pink color inside. The moment Norman saw the leaf stem, he was attracted by it.
Deeply attracted by the appearance, the movements of his hands slowed down, and a lot of time was lost as he came and went.
Nissie bypassed Norman and took the reagent bottle with purple leaves into her bubble ball, and then complained impatiently that Norman was too slow. Norman ignored Niss's thoughts and just looked at the transparent leaf stems.
, his instinct told him not to touch this thing, as it would be dangerous. But the young man's temperament and curiosity made him reach out his hand, open the glass bottle stopper of the transparent leaf stem in his bubble ball, and then take advantage of Nisi's hand.
When Papa took the purple leaves, he held the transparent leaf stem in his hands and put it in front of his eyes to observe carefully. The faint and fresh smell wafted out, making Norman feel that the transparent leaf stem in his hand was no longer just a leaf stem, but a whole.
The epitome of beauty. It is a breathtaking beauty. Norman can feel the passage of time and the flow of water waves from the leaves and stems. This feeling is magnified dozens of times and makes Norman feel comfortable from the bottom of his heart.
He couldn't help but smell it a few more times, but he didn't notice that his pupils were dilated several times, and his concentration was unprecedentedly concentrated. Norman fell in love with this feeling, and didn't even notice that Nice had called him several times.
"Kid, I'm calling you...what are you doing?" Nisi wanted Norman to hand her a jackal flower in Area 7, but she didn't get a response for a long time. When she turned around, she found Norman squatting under her bubble ball.
Her back was turned to her, and her movements were sneaky. She was confused, and turned to the other side to look at Norman. At this time, Norman was focused on the transparent stem in his hand, and no changes could be noticed by the outside world, until Nisi looked at him from another side.
He woke up only after kicking him down in the bubble ball.
He rolled on the ground twice and then sat up in confusion. He watched the nervous Nisi take the transparent leaf stem far away and put it back into the reagent bottle, and then relied on the more or less recovery power of the wood wizard to put his hand back.
Use the bubble ball to wash away any remaining odor from the transparent stems.
"Nice...what's going on?"
"Kid! Do you know how much trouble you've caused!" Niss shouted at Norman, her rage shaking him. "That's unprocessed star fire grass, which has addictive effects. If
You have just continued to smoke something called phantom energy emitted by star fireweed. You have usually seen homeless people on the street smoking with rolled leaf sticks. The kind of star fireweed that is processed is not as effective as the original one-tenth.
one."
Nisi took a breath, got into Norman's bubble ball, lifted Norman's collar over her head: "The phantom energy will make you fall into a short-term transparent and clear state, that is, at that moment you will feel that you are
The senses are infinitely amplified, and it is easy to get addicted, but this kind of smell can give people a sense of fullness and false thirst, and the impact on the body is even greater..." Nisi threw Norman next to the bubble ball.
Side: "Don't touch that thing, if you don't want to become a waste. That thing is garbage, something that should not exist in this chaotic world. I don't know what you are keeping it for, Papa."
Norman swallowed his saliva. He didn't resent Nisi's behavior, but he was a little disgusted with the way he missed the transparent feeling. At that moment, he knew nothing and couldn't hear anything. He just wanted to keep smelling the transparent stems.
There was a faint aroma coming out, but soon, Norman thought of another thing, which was what Cavendi asked himself and Shanon to do in South Stella, that is, where Magajia and Chajila were.
The deal made by the gang, that cart of star fireweed raw materials, according to Cavendi, is his more important business than wine. What do the people of Birmingham want? What does Cavendi want to do?
After taking the purple leaves, Papa woke up from the state of madness. He sat on the ground and looked at Nisi with some complaints: "Girl, some doctors have suggested that the raw materials of Star Fireweed can provide certain anesthesia for patients undergoing bloodletting operations."
Function, for us alchemists, it is just a kind of material, but human children, you should really stay away from it, you are a wizard, it will have a greater impact on your body. "
Norman got up, patted his butt, and solemnly apologized to Nisi and Papa: "I'm sorry, you two, I shouldn't have touched this thing."
Nisi waved her hand casually: "That's it, Papa, I came to you to ask you if there is anything that can help me hide the attraction of the relic. Generally, the person or place who obtains the relic will cause a bloody storm.
Unless you have absolute strength or are lucky enough to escape, many forces will gather for various reasons and then fight to the death to grab the relics of the old gods. This staff I have now may cause a lot of trouble. If you can help me,
I will give you the information you want about the mysterious country."
I know this. One of the bedtime stories that Godfather Guy told me was the story of them searching for the seeds of hope on a snowy night. Norman thought. The forces at that time included the military, witch hunters, arbitration and the Three
He is a wizard, and the seed of hope was lost during the gang war. However, according to Brynn's education method, Norman had no idea how tragic it was at that time. It was only the almost brutal life on the Black Crow for more than a month that made Norman
Man discovered that the world was not as beautiful as he thought. The Nakawu he saw was just the Nakawu that Kaznoman and others let him see, and it was not the real center of chaos in the southern continent. The real world was bigger than what he imagined.
Even more cruel and dark.
Papa hesitated, then swam his eight tentacles to the center of the shell bed, and then swam back to his work table: "If you can still give me five thousand crystal light shells, the deal will be done. I need some funds recently."
Nisi snapped her fingers and then said: "You don't have to worry about how I go back. As long as I can get on the boat of this child and his companions, I just need to solve the attraction of the relic. I will have the money sent to me after I go back."
for you."
After discussing more follow-up matters, Papa returned to his work desk and started to get busy again, this time to reach a deal. Norman got another short rest, and after Papa completed the potion to hide the relic's breath,
He will follow Nisi to the south gate of Nanstra to meet Cavendi.
It's just that Norman felt guilty. He was wondering if Cavendi would sell this poison that harms the body to other people, and then whether he would indirectly make other people addicted. If this is true, then Norman doesn't want to go back.
. But thinking about the two-month voyage, there was no way that he and Nisi could reach the Eastern Continent without any support, let alone find their aunt Li Qi and uncle Tino.
Nisi could see that Norman was a little concerned. From the current speculation, there are only three possibilities for him to show such a sad expression. One is that he was hurt when he dealt with the Son of God before, the other is that the Star Firefly just made him sad, and the third
It is the companion who is about to meet up. At present, the third possibility is more likely. Nisi cleared her throat, pointed to her sound-transmitting rock, and signaled Norman to listen to her words: "I don't know you
What are your companions like? You may feel that their identities have affected you, or their ideas are different from yours. It doesn’t matter whether they are good people or bad people. My child, your life before may be completely different from now. I want
What I’m telling you is that there are no so-called absolutely good guys and so-called absolutely bad guys, just like the Sons of God we met before. Why did I choose to save them in the end? It was not because of what you did, but because they wanted to compete with me to rob the old gods.
There is no conflict outside of the relics. I have my purpose, and they have theirs. The only real evil is so-called greed, so in this way I am also evil. Think again, for your companions, are they for
Alive, if that's the case, you can stay with them for a while."
Norman was stunned for a long time by what Nisi said. He didn't react for a long time. Nisi shook her head and sighed: "You can tell at a young age that he doesn't have the IQ of his father. Alas, is it really useful for me to help him?"
