Although this play is just a fantasy, the story itself is not fictional.
In other words, Alex is a real person.
Although Granny Nail didn't know who Alex was in the story, she had an inexplicable hunch in her heart that even if Alex and "him" were not the same person, there must be some kind of connection.
"Then can you tell me where the story takes place? And the protagonist Alex, where is he now?" Granny Nail's voice was very soft. Although she couldn't hear any big emotional ups and downs, Angel never stopped.
There was an urgent but cautious tone in her inquiry.
Under the expectant eyes of Granny Nail, Angel shook his head: "I don't know either."
This answer made it difficult for Granny Nail to hide her disappointment: "Then why do you know this story? And how do you confirm that it is true?"
Angel looked at Granny Nail quietly.
In Angel's impression, Granny Nail is a calm, powerful and mysterious witch surrounded by a lot of fog.
He had never seen so many emotional changes in Granny Nail.
This made Angel more and more curious. After thinking about it, he replied: "Before I answer these questions, can I know why my mother-in-law cares so much about Alex?"
After a pause, Angel whispered: "Does your mother-in-law know him?"
Granny Nail fell into silence, seeming to be thinking about whether to tell Angel. When the second hand of a castle-shaped mechanical clock not far away ticked three times, she broke the stagnant air.
However, the first sentence Granny Nail said had nothing to do with Angel's inquiry.
"Wifet should have agreed to trade with you, right?"
Angel was stunned for a while before he realized that Granny Nail was probably pointing to the lucky scroll in Wifet's hand.
Angel nodded: "That's right. Why did my mother-in-law mention this matter?"
Nail Granny: "Do you still remember what I warned you when you asked me about the roll of luck?"
Angel had indeed asked Granny Nail about the Scroll of Fortune. At that time Granny Nail showed a solemn expression for the first time and gave him a very solemn warning.
"Remember, you once warned me that luck is not real luck, it is just an infinite collapse of some choices that may lead to bad ones. Among the remaining choices, even if they seem to be positive opportunities, they may not be suitable; the abandoned bad ones
The choice is not necessarily inappropriate. After all, good or bad cannot be generalized, but a chain reaction."
Nail Granny lowered her eyebrows and whispered: "There is one more important thing to say."
Angel paused and said those words: "Especially when used in mysterious alchemy."
This is what Granny Nail warned Angel, warning him not to use the Scroll of Fortune in alchemy, especially mysterious alchemy.
Angel was a little suspicious at that time. Was it because Granny Nail gave such a solemn warning because something had happened?
Unfortunately, Granny Nail did not explain it at that time, but only gave such a conclusion.
Nail Granny: "The reason why I mentioned the Lucky Scroll is precisely because when the Lucky Scroll appeared, it was the beginning of his disaster."
Angel captured that Granny Nail mentioned a "he".
Could this "he" be Alex?
After Nail Granny sighed, she continued: "You have now become an official wizard and joined the R&D Institute, so you are qualified to know about this matter."
"It happened more than a thousand years ago"
Granny Nail's eyes were in a trance, as if she had returned to that familiar yet distant era that she always saw repeatedly in her midnight dreams.
As Granny Nail spoke, Angel's expression slowly changed from surprised at first to weird, and finally fell into deep thought.
In the story of Granny Nail, besides herself, there is another man.
Although Granny Nail did not elaborate, Angel could tell from her gentle tone that this gentleman had a close relationship with Granny Nail. They might be the closest friends, or they might be lovers.
This man, like Granny Nail, is an alchemist, and not only is his talent extremely strong, but his alchemy skills have almost reached their peak. He can be said to be the strongest alchemist at the R&D Institute at that time.
When a profession reaches its peak, there will inevitably be higher pursuits. He is the same, he wants to break through his alchemy skills and pursue a higher realm of mystery.
But in the realm of mystery, there are no shortcuts or direct doors.
After studying for many years, he gained some insights, but due to bad luck, he was always rejected by the mysterious. If he continues to follow this path, he may not be able to achieve what he wants in the future, but it may be because he is young, wanton and eager.
The urgency for success made him a little impatient with the status quo, so he finally decided to take a different approach and find a new way.
So, he thought of something called a lucky scroll.
He listed a refining plan with the help of the Scroll of Luck. After repeated verification, the probability of success is extremely high.
After laying out the plan, he excitedly shared the news with Granny Nail and invited Granny Nail to be his alchemy assistant to help him refine the mysterious things.
At that time, Nail Granny was still young and did not think too comprehensively. After hearing the wonderful prospects he described and his repeated assurances that the final result would be correct, she was convinced and agreed to assist him in refining.
The final result was actually as he expected, it was really successful.
However, just as Granny Nail warned Angel before, sometimes success is not necessarily a good thing, especially when refining mysterious things.
Although the success was successful, at the moment of success, the nightmare came. This refined mysterious object was obviously different from other mysterious objects. As soon as Fu was born, it began to erode the surrounding world and change
Rules, ignore rules, create rules.
In almost a short period of time, the surrounding space showed signs of collapse.
Laws collapse, all things wither, and vitality disappears forever!
At that time, he couldn't believe it. Even though he was successful, why did such a strange change occur? At this most critical moment, he exhausted all his abilities and sent Granny Nail out of this collapsed world.
He himself fell into the closed space and fell into endless sinking.
This is the story told by Granny Nail, and it is also the reason why she warned Angel sternly when she learned that Angel was looking for the mysterious scroll.
The reason why Angel looked so surprised was because of the shock this story brought to him.
But later, his expression changed from surprise to weird. The reason was that after Granny Nail finished telling the story, the answer to the mystery was finally revealed.
In the story, the man who has a close relationship with her is named
Ivo Spruit.
For Angel, Ivo Spruit is not an unfamiliar name. Every time he goes to the Fantasy Mechanical City in the R&D Institute, he can see an empty display box.
It is said that this display box is supposed to display a mysterious object. Unfortunately, the mysterious object has disappeared, so a display box can only be built to promote it. Someone in the R&D Institute once refined the mysterious object.
The tentative name of this mysterious object is the Box of Reincarnation, and the person who refined the Box of Reincarnation is none other than Ivo Spruit.
Because the temporary name "Box of Reincarnation", judging from the name, is too similar to the "Box of Reincarnation of the Undead" described by Frost. Because of this, Angel has always been curious about it.
When he went to Fantasy Mechanical City last time, Angel also asked the Water Mark Witch to tell him the story about the Box of Reincarnation and the refiner Ivo. Unfortunately, the Water Mark Witch didn't know much about it, but she suggested that Ange
I'll ask the "party".
And the client she mentioned was none other than Granny Nail.
Angel originally planned to find an opportunity to ask Granny Nail about this matter, but unexpectedly, by some mistake, Granny Nail told the story first.
