only god

Chapter 277
Vulcan Ninur left.

He heard the announcement of the eldest son clearly, and also knew the king's intention.

When leaving, Vulcan only left one sentence,
"know yourself."

Hearing his father's words, Serius clenched his fists, his arrogance turned into anger, he looked at the direction his father was leaving, and took deep breaths over and over again.

The king of the great country walked slowly to the edge of the pond in the garden.

He looked down and saw his reflection in the lake.

know yourself…

"I recognize it!"

Serius said in a low voice.

There were no waves in the lake, and the reflection stood quietly under the water, looking at him.

Because of the king's favor and attention, Carol, who is regarded as a famous doctor, has enjoyed countless glory and wealth since the day she came to the king's city.

Whatever she wanted, the courtiers loyal to Seleus would prepare for her. Carol was a little cautious at first, but after a few days, she enjoyed all kinds of joy. With a witch behind her, she was extravagant and her desires were not satisfied. .

In just a few days, Carol received innumerable jewels from various nobles, such as sapphires, green agates, frankincense... spices and gems were mixed together, and wooden boxes were piled up, so rich that she had to waste everything .

When the prosperity and wealth that the world yearns for is no longer far away, but within reach, Carol inexplicably feels emptiness after the initial excitement.

Emptiness, emptiness of nothingness.

She knelt on the ground, opened the wooden box, and looked at the dazzling treasures inside, her eyes gradually became dull and empty.

This is the wealth that she can never enjoy in this life.

After looking at all kinds of treasures for a long time, Carol felt dull.

Mona stood in the shadows, she was keenly aware of the subtle changes in her mother.

My own mother...has she finally realized...

A glimmer of hope surged in the girl's heart.

Carol looked at the treasure in front of her, feeling confused in her heart.

What is the meaning of the momentary glory and wealth?

Carol slowly closed the wooden box, and she began to pace the mansion.

With so many treasures, how can I enjoy them all in my life?
In the days when she was a peasant woman, Carol would not have such thoughts. The chickens and ducks in the longhouse were an inseparable part of her life, and the distance from the village head to the tail was almost her whole world.

But now...what she saw and heard was completely different.

Emptiness, emptiness of nothingness.

Why... why am I so empty?
Apart from the glory that is close at hand, what else can I pursue?
Mona looked at her mother, her hands were sweating nervously.

Living by the witch master's side all year round, Mona learned to observe words and emotions from her, and the girl knew that her mother was in a state of confusion.

Carol faces a decision that affects her bet...

It's just that this steady woman doesn't know it yet.

Carol walked up and down the mansion, she didn't notice Mona in the shadows at all.

A long time, a long time...

Carol slowly closed the wooden box full of treasures.

A gleam of joy appeared on Mona's face, could it be that her mother finally figured it out?

The picture of mother-daughter reunion has never been so close to me.

I saw Carol slowly walking out of the mansion, and her eyes looked at the splendid royal palace.

Seleus on the throne seeks eternal life that no one has set foot on.

Huge clouds streaked across the sky, casting shadows from above.

After the glory and wealth, what else do I want to pursue...

Carol's gaze was uncertain, and after a while, she uttered a word,

"eternal life…"

Wealth and wealth are so meaningless...

In addition to eternal life,

Carol couldn't find anything to pursue.

"The potion of immortality..."

The appeasement of greed is just a fleeting illusion. There will be waves after waves, just as there will be greed after greed. The raging flood submerged Carol's body and mind. After all, nothing in this world came out of Solamuu According to Si's prediction, only the girl Mona will reap the sorrow at the last moment.

This woman, who has pretended to be wise for so long, has forgotten her own ignorance, and she desires to seize the eternal life that belongs to Seleus.

...............................

...............................

As time passed, after several months, King Seleus had collected all the materials for the ceremony.

These include the extremely precious dragon horn, ice fairy grass... there are also common herbs such as thyme and sage.

Carol led Mona slowly up the long steps leading to the palace.

When the guards saw the black-robed woman following behind the famous doctor, she raised her spear and stepped forward, but was stopped by King Seleus.

When Carlo and Mona came to the throne, King Seleus asked:
"Carol, who is that?"

"Your Majesty, she can bring you eternal life, and this ceremony needs her to preside over it."

Carol said respectfully.

King Seleus carefully looked at the black-robed witch, and said after a while:

"Carol,
Among so many strange people, only you know the law of eternal life.

I trust you completely. "

King Seleus had little doubt.

These days, he has treated Carol well, and he will reward Carol for whatever she wants.

And Carol is also her only life-saving straw leading to eternal life.

King Seleus can only trust that as a king, he has enough courage and courage to do everything in pursuit of eternal life.

"Go to the garden and perform the ceremony."

Saying that, King Seleus slowly stood up,

"May the gods bless us."

After subconsciously saying this sentence, he couldn't help feeling ridiculous.

As a human being, I desire to live forever like a god. This is obviously disobedience, so how can I beg for the blessing of the gods?

The noble ministers in the palace couldn't help holding their breath, they all realized that the king was about to get his wish.

What does an eternal king mean to Riboga under his feet?
No one knows, even in myths and legends, they have never heard of anyone who lives forever.

Carol silently followed King Seleus, her complexion remained the same, with a glint of gloom flashing in her eyes, and her fingers trembling slightly.

Take the fruit of eternal life from the hand of the king of this great nation...

What a whimsical plan.

But once he succeeds... he will become the first immortal in the world.

Immortality...

Like a god!
