Chapter 270 "This Woman Is Not A Person"
"Hehe … … It's because you said she looks younger than her actual age! Boy, this Mrs. Lister, I know her as well. She should be in her early thirties … … Don't you think she looks a bit too young? If you don't ask her age, everyone would think she's a seventeen or eighteen year old! "
Du Wei shakes his head: "That's not strange. She was born in a rich family. She grew up in luxury, so it's natural for her to take good care of herself. It's not strange for her to look younger and prettier. "
"Hehehehe … …" The green robed Gandorf sneered again and again, making Du Wei's hair stand on end: "Du Wei, how old is your mother this year?"
"My mother?"
Du Wei thought for a moment and couldn't help but frown in doubt.
In fact, Du Wei also had some strange feelings towards this Mrs. Lister, but he couldn't really figure out what was wrong. Plus, this lady's "marriage proposal" was a headache for him. Normally, he would avoid her as much as he could, so why would he go to her doorstep?
Now that the green hat mentioned it, he's a smart person and immediately understood what was wrong!
Even if it's a blessing from the heavens, a woman in her thirties shouldn't be able to maintain her appearance like an eighteen year old girl! What's more, this lady presides over such a large family and works hard all year round. This is the best way for a woman to age! But this Mrs. Lister … …
When it comes to being born in wealth and living a good life. Du Wei's current situation is the same with the countess of the Rowling family! Before the countess married, she was also a noble lady. If it's about living conditions, it's not necessarily worse than Mrs. Lister's! Du Wei's mother is also a famous beauty in the noble circle. She also has good food and good health, but she doesn't look as young as this Mrs. Lister!
To put it bluntly, to be able to maintain one's appearance to such a degree, it's simply a monstrous level ….. In other words, it's simply too heaven-defying!
Seeing that Du Wei was deep in thought, the green-robed Gandorf chuckled, his face full of pride. "You don't know. Kid, I can't blame you for being ignorant and inexperienced. I'm afraid there aren't many people in the entire continent who know about this! Hmph … "
"You just like to keep people in suspense …" Du Wei mumbled, "Alright, you are now my teacher. If you have any gossip, don't hide it. Just say it!"
Gandorf smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice, "This woman … She's not human!"
•
When Du Wei heard this, he couldn't help but tremble and almost fell off the chair.
Not human? Could it be a monster? Could he really be some kind of monster? Could it be that there are such things as fox spirits in this world?
Looking at Gandorf with surprise, Gandorf smiled and said: "Well, this is a long story ….. About the ancient history of this continent, you should vaguely know some of it, right?"
Du Wei took a deep breath to calm his emotions and nodded: "I know a little bit ….. I only know that in ancient times, there weren't only humans that existed on this continent. It seems to be because of some kind of war. Some other races were banished by the gods and migrated to the north, crossing the Holy Mountain ….. Now the Dragons guard the Holy Mountain to guard the entrance to this continent and not let those banished races return. "
Speaking up to here, Du Wei vaguely guessed something: "Could it be that this Mrs. Lister is not human? What kind of banished race is she? But ….. She doesn't look like a beastman or a dwarf ….. Could she be an elf? Well, according to legend, the elves are famous for their beauty ….. Although I haven't seen an elf, I do know that they are much shorter than ordinary humans, and ….. Their ears are also long and pointy. "
"Yes, she is an elf." Gandorf faintly smiled: "But she is not a pure elf. Humph, the other races on this continent have been banished. If there are still elves or other races on this continent, they would've long been eradicated by the Shrines as heretics! Legend has it that in ancient times, most of the sinners were banished, and the few that didn't leave were already slaughtered by the humans. How can there still be pure elves on this continent? This Mrs. Lister, I'm guessing she is most likely a mix of human and elf. She has the blood of the elves in her body, I can't be wrong about this. It's just that when it came to her generation, I'm afraid the bloodline has become very thin. So in terms of appearance, she doesn't have many elven characteristics. But according to legend, the elves have a much longer lifespan than humans, and they are good at retaining their beauty ….. Legend has it that in ancient times, some elven women who were close to a hundred years old looked similar to young human women. "
Du Wei opened his mouth: "But ….. But she looks very young, that's not enough to conclude."
Gandorf pointed to his own eyes: "Of course, that's not the only proof. I've read a lot of ancient books ….. Humph, the first time I saw this woman was two years ago. You probably didn't notice her pupils, right? "
Pausing for a moment, Gandorf continued: "Us Roland people have blue, green, and brown eyes ….. But this Mrs. Lister, although her eyes are blue, her pupils are different from ordinary people. That day, I vaguely felt that her breath was a bit strange. She is not a pure human, so of course her breath is slightly different. Ordinary people can't feel it, but with my magic, I can detect this slight difference. At that time, I paid more attention to her eyes and found that her pupils are slightly different. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to see it. "
Gandorf's statement made Du Wei surprised: "Elven bloodline?"
"How can this old man's judgment be wrong?" Gandorf snorted: "Elven blood is very precious!! When I saw it, I was excited! There are actually people with elven blood on the continent! According to legend, the elves are born with a special talent for magic. Although the elven magic is not as powerful as dragon magic, it is profound and mysterious. I have been immersed in magic research all my life. Of course, I didn't want to let go of someone with elven blood. I wanted to capture her and slowly study her. Unfortunately, I ran into that high level Knight of the Shrines. I didn't want to break my promise ….. Humph, so I spared that Knight's life and pretended to retreat. However, I was still curious about this elven woman, so I deliberately cast a curse on her body so that she would slowly petrify for a period of time in the future. I just wanted to see if the mixed elven blood would have any wonderful reaction to our human magic ….. "
Du Wei asked: "Then ….. After you cast the curse, why didn't you go find her again?"
The green robed Gandorf shook his head: "Later, I temporarily had something to do and left ….. Humph, more or less, it has something to do with you! My disciple Joanna, although this girl was fooling around outside, there was always a magic connection between us. But in those few days, I suddenly lost contact with her and couldn't feel anything at all. I was worried that something had happened to this girl, so I had no choice ….. Although the mixed elven blood is precious, my disciple is after all more important. In order to find my disciple, I hurriedly left. "
At this point, he smiled: "Later, I remembered this mixed elven blood. That day, I left in a hurry and didn't remove the petrification spell for her. I don't know what happened to her. Either she has been petrified to death, or her family is quite powerful and can always find a mage to remove the spell for her."
Du Wei couldn't help but sigh in his heart ….. This old fellow is really daring. He casually used other people's lives to experiment and didn't care at all ….. Indeed, he treated human lives like grass.
But this old fellow gave Du Wei a difficult problem: "So I actually saw this woman here today, what a pleasant surprise ….. However, since she is your friend, I don't want to make things difficult for my disciple ….. There's no need to capture her and slowly study her. But the request of a bottle of blood isn't too much, right? She is such a big living person, drawing out such a small bottle of blood won't hurt her much. She will recover after resting for a day or two ….. Hmm ….. "
He seemed to be afraid that Du Wei wouldn't agree and said: "I once got some broken things about the ancient elven magic and have long wanted to try it. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance ….. If you can get me a bottle of blood, if I have results from my research ….. Hehe, kid, you are already my disciple. If I can research elven magic, won't I teach you? "
To be honest, Du-Wei wasn't very interested in the magic of the elves. He now knew too many things and had a tendency of biting off more than he could chew. Whether it was the Starry Sky Dou Qi, Star Magic, ordinary magic, or even the Great Snow Mountain witchcraft, it was still far away from reaching the peak of cultivation in each of them. One more elven magic was not attractive to Du Wei.
It was just that ….. this old man in a green hat was asking for his opinion to give him face. Moreover, this person's temperament is very strange, very different from the real Gandorf. If I don't agree …. If I annoy this weird old man …. He won't take human life seriously. If he insists on doing things his way, I'm afraid Mrs. Lister's life will be in danger. What Lister House's power? This old man doesn't put it in his eyes. If he wants to use force, then Du Wei has no ability to stop him.
Thinking up to here, Du Wei sighed: "Well ….. A bottle of blood is not a big problem ….." Pausing, Du Wei suddenly smiled bitterly: "You ….. If I use up a bottle of blood and still can't find anything, you won't make me go find someone else to draw blood, will you?"
Raising his eyebrows, Gandalf thought for a moment before answering: "Elven magic is profound and difficult to understand. I'm only able to obtain a few fragments of it. I'm afraid this little bit of blood may not be enough to study it." However, this old man already gave you face and didn't take her away. If it's not enough, then do as you see fit! "
Sure enough ….. In the end, he still wants to play rogue.
But this old madman is someone Du Wei can't afford to provoke right now.
In desperation, he was urged to see Mrs. Lister by the old man. This stunning beauty had already been scared out of her wits by today's encounter with Gandalf!
In fact, the first time Mrs. Lister was troubled by this green robed old man, the other party already saw through her secret. But as a human with elven blood, her secret is extremely important and absolutely can't be leaked out!
One must know, whether it's elves or not, they're all considered heresy on the continent! If her bloodline secret is leaked out, she's afraid the Shrines will be the first to come after her! When that time comes, no matter how powerful the Lister Family is, they can't be compared to the Shrines! Using the crime of eliminating a heresy to punish her, she'll be doomed eternally.
Because of this, Mrs. Lister's heart is now in a state of panic. When Du Wei came to see her, the first thought that came to her mind was: He also knows?!
That green robed Old Magician, Du Wei seems to call him "Teacher". This is bad! If this matter spreads out, it won't be long before the Lister Family is wiped off the face of the continent!
As soon as Du Wei entered the room, he saw the beauty who's trying her best to pretend to be calm. Her face is still pale and her lips are tightly pursed. Although she's trying her best to look calm, the panic in her eyes betrays her inner thoughts.
Du Wei also doesn't have the heart to embarrass this Mrs. Lister. After all, she's always been very friendly to him. Sighing, he didn't wait for her to speak and simply said: "Madam ….. Please …."
Finished speaking, he looked around.
Mrs. Lister immediately understood and had her subordinates leave the room. Only then did Du Wei sigh and lower his voice: "Madam ….. I won't say more. Don't worry, I know what you're worried about, but I promise no one else will know about this matter. But as you know, this teacher of mine has a strange temperament. He won't say anything, but if he doesn't come looking for trouble, you'll have to make some sacrifices. "
Saying that, he points to the small bottle on the table and whispers: "My request isn't much, I just want to borrow a little of your blood."
Mrs. Lister's heart trembled as her voice became more and more shaky: "You ….. you also know?"
Du Wei faintly smiles: "Madam, please rest assured ….. I, Du Wei, am not a believer of the Shrines! The teachings of the Goddess of Light have nothing to do with me. "
Mrs. Lister's expression calmed down a little. Then without saying anything, she suddenly turns around and pulls out a silver knife from the drawer. Biting her teeth, she cuts her finger and silently drips her blood into the bottle.
The whole process is very strange, and the two are silent. Seeing such a delicate beauty being forced to bleed, Du Wei's heart couldn't bear it. It's just that he has no other choice, and this is the only way to protect this woman.
"It's done." Although it's only a small bottle of blood, she's still a woman. Coupled with the pain, her face is already pale. Trembling, she hands over the bottle and whispers: "Take it."
"Thank you madam." Feeling a little guilty, Du Wei reaches out and takes the bottle: "I … …"
"No need to say more." Taking a deep breath, Mrs. Lister seems to have returned to her usual self as the patriarch of the house. Her voice also becomes cold: "I ask the Duke not to forget your promise! This matter must not be known to anyone else ….. The life and death of my Lister House is in your hands! "
With that, she simply turns around and no longer looks at Du Wei.
Duwei sighed secretly, took the bottle, pushed the door and left.
After Du Wei left, Mrs. Lister's body suddenly went limp as if all the strength in her body has been sucked away. Just now, she forced herself to not let the other party see her weakness. Now that there's no one in the room, she suddenly slumps to the ground with a face full of fear.
•
Du Wei brought the bottle of blood back to the green hat old man. Sure enough, the old man was very happy and excited. After taking the bottle, he carefully examined it for a long time and even sniffed it for a while. Looking at his appearance, it's like he can't help but want to drink a little to taste the taste of the elven blood. Fortunately, Du Wei's timely reminder allowed Green-robed Gandalf to come to his senses.
However, the old man looked very happy: "Very good! For this matter, I can't not give you some thanks ….. How about this, boy. Since you became my apprentice and called me teacher several times, I should've taught you some magic earlier ….. But now that I've taken this bottle of blood, I'm anxious to study elven magic. I really don't have the heart to teach you anything right now. How about this ….. I'll give you something good, you'll definitely like it. "
With that, he searched his robe for a long time and finally pulled out a pure black ink-like crystal ball! Du Wei glanced at the crystal ball. Above the crystal ball, there's an ink-like black gas faintly lingering around it. Unexpectedly, there's also a deathly golden light circulating around it. At first glance, it looks like an undead black magic crystal ball, but upon closer inspection, the black gas doesn't seem to be pure undead energy.
"This is … …"
"Hehe, this isn't undead energy, this is a crystal ball used to imprison the souls of the dead!" Green-robed Gandalf chuckles: "There's nothing in here. It's just that on the way here that day, I casually killed that little golden lizard …. Its dragon soul is a good thing, so after I killed it, I collected its dragon soul and left it here. Since then, I've been keeping it here ever since. I'll give it to you now ….. This is a top-grade item, a pure Golden Dragon Soul. It's extremely powerful when used to make magic tools! "
After a pause, Green Robe Gandorf frowned and said: "Unfortunately ….. You probably don't know any undead black magic ….. And I really don't have much time now. Otherwise, I'll bring you to a few more ancient battlefields and bring back some dragon bones. I'll teach you how to refine a Bone Dragon and use this Golden Dragon Soul. That'll be a top-grade Bone Dragon pet! In this world, no one has ever been able to use a Golden Dragon Soul to refine a Bone Dragon! And it's an adult, complete Golden Dragon Soul! "
