The correct way to cultivate poros

Chapter 24 I will tell you a story too
Lying on the stage was a woman, wearing a snow-white wedding dress, with beautiful but lifeless features.Her body... or the corpse, the exposed skin was paler than the wedding dress, and black and purple swollen veins were clearly visible on it, like twisted earthworms entrenched on her body, destroying the beauty.

"Let me tell you a story."

Pine stood beside her, his throat trembling slightly, and Zell stood silently as a listener.

"I used to be just a thief with no sense of existence. I squatted in noisy bars every day, under the cover of noise and alcohol, and took some money from the pockets of those drunk drunks. Sometimes I would steal Screaming went up to do the big ticket, and cut off the wallets of passers-by next to the Gate of Sun. That time, I heard from others that a batch of novelties came from the warehouse, and I got a fever in my head. to the warehouse, and was caught by her."

"Sophia, the daughter of the Alchemy Baron, I actually stole into her house. There are thugs outside the warehouse, as long as she shouts, I will die. But she didn't do that, but let me go. She told It's her birthday tomorrow and she wanted a present. From that moment on, all I could see was her face, she was a skilled thief, she stole my heart."

His eyes were sunken, as if he hadn't slept well for several days and nights, but when he talked about Sophia, his eyes were bright.

"I took her sneaking out of the dark alley, playing crazy all day, she said it was the happiest birthday she ever had, her father locked her in the tower like a caged bird, and I took her to feel To the big sky. Then we spent some crazy days together, both a long life and a fleeting moment. It was like falling in love with the sun and seeing the world around you so clearly for the first time because she The light illuminates everything."

"I knew that this kind of life couldn't last long, so I returned her to Zaun. I stopped living in vain and started working for the baron, just to appear in front of her in a fair and honest way. I worked hard, and the momentum Very aggressive, quickly got to the position of assistant, and at this time the old baron died, Sophia succeeded him as the next alchemy baron. I'm glad I can work under her, but we all know what she is capable of Not good enough for the position, so I decided to publicize that I was the new baronet when we got married."

Until here, Pine's tone was very gentle, and then he changed the topic, and a beast-like growl came out of his throat.

"The white-eyed wolves have rebelled! The old baron's men attacked Sophia on the wedding day. They locked her in the mine and asked her to hand over the warehouse. But in fact, I had already taken over the warehouse at that time, and Sophia just hung up The name of the Alchemy Baron, they should have arrested me. When I rescued her, her heart and lungs had been irreversibly damaged by the poisonous gas erosion. I could only use the alchemy potion to hang Sophia's life first, in order to survive The only way to do that is to replace the heart and lungs with a device."

"The cardiopulmonary device needs a stable energy source to drive it. Once it is installed, it cannot be replaced. Only hex gemstones, which are more stable than hex crystals, meet the requirements. Time is running out. I have searched the entire dark alley without finding a single gem. ;The people who were sent to the top were also caught by the police and failed to bring the gems back."

"Just last night, Sophia left me."

"..." Zell has seen similar tragedies countless times in the biographies of film and television works and novels, but when he found that there were traces of his own participation in them, he was still shocked.

It turned out that the thief who stole the Hex gem the night before yesterday was Pine's subordinate.

If he hadn't made an appointment with Caitlin at the coffee shop, Sophia might have been able to get medical treatment in time and survive.

"Baron Pyne, I am sorry for your lover's departure." Zell turned his face away. He never thought that there would be such a coincidence in this world. A kind of regret after knowing the truth filled his heart.

Payne's eyes left Sophia for the first time, and he turned his expectant eyes to Zell.

"I can't accept Sophia's departure, mage, I need your power to make her return to me."

It turned out that he wanted to resurrect the dead by himself.

Zelton paused and shook his head: "Sorry, I can't bring her back to life, I don't have that power."

He had already checked the tome, and the cheapest resurrection cost three points of mana, which he couldn't use at the moment.Moreover, that spell also requires the death time of the deceased to be as short as possible, and Sophia's death was already yesterday.

"Aren't you a necromancer? You must have a way!" Pine seemed a little excited, thinking that Zell was deliberately hiding his clumsiness.

"I really can't." Zeer said with a long tail. It was not the first time he had been misunderstood. "I just learned a little bit, and I can drive one or two little ghosts. Do you think any mage on the side of the road can release magic of the level of bringing the dead back to life?"

"No! No! Is there no way to save her? As long as she can come back, I will pay any price!"

Unable to accept the reality, Pine clenched his fists and hit the table over and over again, as if trying to wake Sophia up.That crazy and blind look reminded Zell of a person.

"Oh..." Zell sighed, "Do you really want to resurrect her?"

Paine paused, then nodded.

"Well, I'll tell you a story too, and you can think about it after listening."

"Once upon a time there was a country called Kamavia, and King Vyego loved his queen deeply..."

"..."

"Viego soaked the queen's body in the blessed water, and Isolde stood up under the influence of the holy water, but turned into a hateful wraith. She picked up Vyego's long sword and pierced The magic of the holy water collided with the ancient sword, and the burst of energy swept across the entire island, binding everything it touched into a state of sane, painful immortality."

"This is the origin of the Shadow Isles." After Zell finished telling the story, Pine's eyes flickered, as if his heart had been shaken.

The reason why he said this is to use this story to let Pine understand that true resurrection is difficult to achieve, and resurrection in the form of undead is often not accepted by the dead.

The best choice is to give up the resurrection and let Sophia rest in peace, otherwise she will only lose more if she insists on it, and in the end even this beautiful relationship will be distorted by madness.

Pine fell into a deep confusion and didn't move for a long time.

Zell and Lao De met each other's eyes, and they both felt that he needed to be quiet, so they left the room silently.

Advice and choices have been given, and the method is also included in the story. Zell has said everything he can, and it is up to him to do what to do.

The two came outside the attic, and Lao De smiled and said: "Master Zell, please come down, I will take you to the scream..."

"Send it to your mother!" Before he could finish speaking, Zell suddenly punched him and knocked him to the ground.

Lao De touched the corner of his bleeding mouth, and looked at Zell in astonishment, already stunned by the beating.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here! Bah!"

Zell spit out the filthy saliva. The two words just now made him feel that he had inhaled a lot of haze.Regardless of the image of a gentleman, he covered his mouth and nose with his cuff and left in a hurry.
