"No … No … Teacher …" Dumb suddenly sat up. He could clearly feel the tears on his face. His consciousness gradually cleared. He realized he was still in the stone room. His whole body was slightly convulsing.
"Teacher is dead. Teacher is already dead. "Dumb mumbled. He took out the steamed bun wrapped in silver from his bosom.
"Teacher, do you like to see me eat a steamed bun? Okay, I'll show you. "He forcefully broke the steamed bun into two halves. Even though it was wrapped in silver, it didn't rot. But it had become unusually hard. Dumb didn't seem to notice the change in the steamed bun. He gently pushed away the silver on the steamed bun. He put it into his mouth. He chewed hard. The dry steamed bun made it difficult for Dumby to breathe. He desperately swallowed because he was using too much strength. His gums were cut by the hard steamed bun. He kept swallowing the salty taste and the dry steamed bun.
"Teacher, I've finished eating. Look. I've finished eating the gift you bought for me. I like it so much. Teacher. Look at me again. I miss you so much. Teacher. I really miss you so much! " Dumb didn't care about the blood in his mouth. He cried loudly until he fainted again. Only then did the deep sorrowful voice in the stone room stop. But that faint sorrow didn't dissipate for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, Dumb's body moved slightly. He slowly opened his lifeless eyes. He sluggishly sat up. The white paper left by Goris was full of wrinkles and scattered on the ground. He slowly gathered it to his side. He rearranged the paper according to the numbers on the footer and carefully stacked them together.
Picking up the white paper, Dumb looked at it blankly.
"Dumby, with your kind heart and your attachment to me, I can't help you. I know my death must have hit you hard. But. You should be a man now. You must be strong. I don't like weak people. I was willing to die for my own wish. This was my own choice. Even if you're still by my side and haven't left, this choice won't change. Do you still remember the time in Nino City? Our encounter can only be described as fate. How dare you steal my purse! You may not understand it yet. Why did I come out of the purse? Let me tell you, that money bag is a very satisfactory work of mine. As long as the money bag is no more than ten kilometers away from me, I can use the magic array on it to find it and use a spell to appear in the bag's position. The first time I saw you, there was only disgust in my heart. Your filthy appearance made me want to end your life on the spot. However, at that time, I suddenly remembered my last wish, so I simply checked your body. To my surprise, I discovered that although your body is very weak, your inner qualities are very good. You are the most suitable person to be my human cauldron. So, I took you away from your life as a thief. I even fed you the pill that I had meticulously refined. Child, your teacher is not a good person. When I take you away. I don't have any good intentions at all. I want to destroy your life! "
Seeing that the first page was over, Dumb's confusion gradually disappeared. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes. He quickly flipped to the second page and continued reading.
"After that, we left Ninuo City. We left Ninuo City. When we were on the ship, I began to prepare for the future, so I taught you the most basic fireball spell. I didn't expect you to be so talented in such a short period of time, even though you look so silly. In such a short time, you could actually summon magical energy. Do you still remember the pirates we met on the ship? That pirate leader was very powerful, and even I wasn't sure if I could defeat him. With my temperament, if not for my own safety, I wouldn't have saved the people on the ship. I wouldn't save the people on the ship. Just as I was in a stalemate with the pirate leader, you scared him away with a fireball that you had just learned and resolved my embarrassment. From then on, your kindness began to gradually change me. Later, we returned to the Forest of Illusion, and I didn't treat you well. However, no matter how much I asked of you, you never complained and always worked hard. Your kindness gradually seeped into my heart. A few months after returning, I left in search of medicinal herbs. During that time, whenever I calmed down, your figure would appear in my mind. Your figure will appear in my mind. I don't know why, but your simple and honest face makes me feel so close to you. Do you remember the notes I gave you? There was no last page, right? That's because the last page recorded the method of refining divine tools that I found out. Perhaps I'm not a powerful magician, but on the continent, no one can compare to me in alchemy. I'm afraid that no one on the continent can compare to me in alchemy. I think you now understand what my wish is. Yes, no matter which alchemist, they all have the same wish – to refine their own artifact. For this wish, I worked hard for decades! After countless experiments, I finally gradually found the method to refine divine tools. Before I met you, I had already used a method from an ancient book to calculate that on the fourth month of the 999th year of the Holy Calendar, evil will be at its peak. That day will also be the day I will forge a divine artifact. The method to refine divine tools is very complicated. The main reason why divine tools are so powerful is because they have souls. Yes, souls. So. At the last moment of refining, I need a living person to be the furnace. This person has a virginity and has been cultivated by the Nine Revolutions Marrow Changing Pill, and he will be thrown into the divine tool. His life will be sacrificed for the final fusion process, to fulfill my final wish. When I saw you in Ninuo City, I had already chosen you. Dumb, is teacher very evil? "
At the end of the second page, Dumb was completely stunned. Teacher Goris actually wanted to kill him. No. No, the teacher was just joking with him. Yes, he must be joking. He impatiently flipped to the third page and continued reading.
"Dumby, what Master said is the truth, sigh. Do you hate teacher? I know you won't. You're a good child. You're so kind. Even though you suffered so much in Ninuo City, I didn't notice any hatred in your heart. In order to refine divine tools, I sacrificed too much. Originally, there was nothing that could stop me from fulfilling this final wish. But you changed me. When I returned to the Forest of Illusions and saw you. I suddenly feel as if you are my family member. Especially when I saw that you couldn't bear to eat all the steamed buns I gave you. When I carefully stored it in silver, my heart trembled. How could I let such a kind child like you become a sacrifice for my wish? Because of the war between heaven and man, I decided to leave again. The more I spent time with you, the harder it was for me to strengthen my confidence in refining the divine tool. This time, I lied to you. I wasn't looking for something, I was running away. But sometimes, running away isn't a solution. You were so important in my heart. When I once again stepped into the Forest of Illusions, I couldn't harden my heart to harm you. At that time, I had already decided that even if I had to give up on refining the divine tool, I wouldn't let you become my sacrifice. But it was all too late. When I returned here, everything was already different. Everything is not the same anymore. You are gone. You were taken away by Hades, who was even more evil than me. No matter how loudly I called out your name, you couldn't hear me. You couldn't return to my side. I read the letter you left me. I read it many, many times. Even though it was very short, I could clearly feel your attachment to me. At that moment, I wanted to tell you so much, Dumb. As long as you returned to my teacher's side, I would definitely teach you magic and alchemy. I wouldn't use you for experiments. But it was already too late. You had already left. I didn't know when you would return again. Did you know? Because of your departure, I cried. In fifty years, this was the first time I cried. At that time, I suddenly felt that you were just like my own child. Your departure also took away my heart. Dumb, my child! Don't hate me. I know I was wrong. "At this point, the third page was over.
Dumby's tears rolled down his cheeks as he shouted loudly.
"Teacher, I don't blame you. I really don't blame you. Teacher, you will always be my teacher! Teacher Goris, I love you. I love you! As long as you can live, even if I have to sacrifice my life to become a cauldron to help you refine a divine weapon, I will be willing. " He fell to the ground in pain. All his previous doubts were resolved by the third page. No matter what kind of person Goris was before, or what he had done before, Dumb now only knew that Goris treated him sincerely, and treated him sincerely. Great sorrow filled Dumb's heart. He was so moved that tears flowed down his face. The sorrow he felt when he first learned of Goris's death had returned.
After a long time, Dumb gradually calmed down. The intense sorrow in his heart made his face as white as the paper in his hand. Slightly trembling, he turned to the fourth page.
"Dumb, ever since we got together, you've cared and attached so much to me. But I've done too little for you before. When I wrote this letter, I've already decided that my wish still has to be fulfilled. The divine weapon still has to be refined. The person who becomes the cauldron must eat my Nine Revolutions Changing Marrow Pill. Even though you're gone, there's still one person here who has eaten the Nine Revolutions Changing Marrow Pill. That person is me. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Even though I've lived for more than eighty years, I'm still a virgin. I've already decided that I will use my life to fulfill my wish. Child, this will be my last gift to you. I firmly believe that after so many years of hard work, I will definitely be able to refine a divine weapon with boundless power. And you, will become the owner of this divine weapon. Child, to have a divine weapon is such an exciting thing! Are you happy? "
"No, I'm not happy. I don't want the divine weapon. I only want you. Teacher Goris, don't!" Dumb's heart, which had just calmed down, became excited again. He seemed to see Goris smiling as he walked step by step towards the scorching cauldron, and he couldn't stop him. Yes, the truth has been cast. It can no longer be changed. He continued to read with tears in his eyes. The handwriting at the back was slightly different from the front, as if it wasn't written on the same day.
"Child, I'm going to start. Today is the day when the evil energy is at its peak. I've already prepared everything. Originally, I wanted to refine a magic staff for myself, but now I've changed my mind. Since Hades said he would teach you martial arts, then he will definitely teach you the world's most evil Hades Sword. I think, you don't need a weapon anymore. I thought for a long time before coming up with the most suitable divine weapon for you. That is a divine weapon with the ability to teleport. You're too kind, so it's easy for you to suffer losses. If the divine weapon is refined exactly the same as my design, then you'll have two life-saving abilities. The first is that you can use the divine weapon's power to teleport yourself to any place within a fifty meter radius. Of course, this requires your mind to completely fuse with the divine weapon. However, this ability has a flaw. Even though the divine weapon itself can absorb energy, the energy is limited. Every day, you can only use this teleportation ability three times. As for the other ability, it's a clone. Under your control, it can instantly create an identical copy of you. This copy of you isn't just a shadow. With the divine weapon's amplification, this clone will have half of your attack power. Remember. This shadow can only last for half an hour to an hour. Even though it might not be able to help you kill enemies, it's still a good choice to be a meat shield. This place was built by my teacher using more than ten years of his blood and sweat. I've spent almost all of my savings in exchange for refining items. This is my teacher's true refining place. In the laboratory, not only are there the divine weapons refined by my teacher, there are also my teacher's magic notes and some things refined in the past. You can take those things with you, but it's best not to learn magic. After all, the fact that you can come here means that you've already inherited Pluto's legacy. It's better to focus on magic and martial arts. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can go to the capital of the Tenjin Empire to look for my younger brother, Corizon. His attainments in magic are higher than mine, and his character is also much better than mine. He has a certain amount of power in the Tenjin Empire. For my sake, he will definitely help you.
Alright, my child, I've told you everything that needs to be said. You can name this divine weapon yourself. I've already destroyed the method of refining the divine weapon. After all, it's too evil. Perhaps, this divine weapon is not only the first divine weapon refined by humans, but also the last. Ah! I don't know if you can see it now, but the Blood Sun has already appeared. It's time for me to start. My child! I've never done any good deeds in my life. After obtaining this divine weapon, I hope you can continue your kindness and be a person who contributes to the continent. The last page records how to obtain the divine weapon and how to use it. Even if there are some omissions in how to use it, it shouldn't be too far off. Because I don't know how much power this divine weapon can unleash, you'll have to figure it out yourself.
After writing this letter, I'm really excited. How I want to see you wearing the divine weapon! Unfortunately, I won't be able to see it. Child, promise me that you'll protect this divine weapon well, because my soul is on it. I'll forever reside in the divine weapon to protect you. Farewell, disciple who will let me find myself again. "Goris."
After reading the letter, Dumb didn't have the slightest interest in the divine weapon. In his heart, there was only endless longing for Goris. With a cry, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Dumb softly fell to the ground. His consciousness gradually blurred, and darkness descended once again.
Every time Dumb woke up, he would repeatedly read the letter that Goris left for him. After reading the letter, he would fall into a coma because of the grief. This state lasted for three days. Even though his fighting energy had reached the ninth level, he still couldn't bear it.
Dumb weakly woke up again. Waves of stabbing pain continuously came from the bottom of his heart. He opened Goris's letter and subconsciously wanted to repeat the previous process. However, he inadvertently saw the bloodstain on his chest. He took a deep breath, and his numb consciousness gradually became clear. No, I can't go on like this. Teacher Goris said that I have to pull myself together. I have to pull myself together. I have to properly protect the divine weapon that he left for me. Yes, the divine weapon. He carefully folded the first four pages and put them back into the wooden box. Then, he picked up the last page. Following the instructions on the letter, Dumb stood up with the help of the stone table. He gently pressed down on the round protrusion in the center of the table. The protrusion sank for a second, and then bounced up, revealing a one-foot-tall cylinder. Dumb grabbed the cylinder with both hands, and rotated it three times to the left and three times to the right. Then, he once again pressed down on the protrusion that had grown much longer.
There was a creaking sound. Dumb was surprised to find that the wall in front of him was actually trembling slightly. It seemed that the mechanism had been activated. Sure enough, the entire wall slowly rose under the effect of the mechanism, revealing an area that was a few hundred square meters wide. This was Goris's real laboratory!
The first thing that Dumb saw was the huge cauldron in the center of the laboratory. It was two meters tall and more than three meters wide. The cauldron had three legs, and the body of the cauldron was engraved with all kinds of complicated patterns. The last page that Goris left behind clearly stated that the artifact that he had forged was inside this cauldron. There were many exquisite objects hanging on the surrounding walls of the laboratory. These were all items that Goris had forged himself. On a long table at the side, there were more than ten porcelain bottles and three wooden boxes. Those were the various elixirs that Goris had forged.
Dumb walked step by step towards the huge cauldron in the center. With his height, he still couldn't see the situation inside the cauldron. Taking a deep breath, Dumb urged his body to float up and landed on the edge of the cauldron. The cauldron was filled with a dark brown viscous liquid. Even after seven years, there was still no sign of it drying up. Dumb picked up the long pole next to the cauldron and stirred the viscous liquid according to the instructions on the letter. When he stirred it to the center of the cauldron, he felt that he had touched something hard. Feeling that he had touched something hard, he used the thin hook on the long pole to test it a few times, hooked it, and carefully picked it up.
When the long pole left the viscous liquid, Dumb saw it clearly. It was a dark gray object that looked like an iron cylinder. That viscous brown liquid actually didn't stain it at all. A faint layer of cold air seeped out from the iron cylinder. Under the illumination of a slightly larger luminous pearl in the laboratory, it reflected a metallic luster.
Dumb knew that this iron cylinder was the artifact that Goris had forged with his life. He retracted the long pole, brought the iron cylinder in front of him, and gently took it down. As soon as the iron cylinder was in his hand, Dumb immediately felt an unusually familiar energy flowing into his body from the iron cylinder. Tears that had already dried up appeared again. Dumb gently stroked the only pattern on the iron cylinder and murmured:
"Teacher Goris. Is it you who are calling me? Teacher, why are you doing this? "With a sigh, Dumb bit his right middle finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the iron cylinder. When the blood came into contact with the metal tube, it immediately seeped into it. Dumby felt a tremor in his hand, and the metal tube suddenly emitted a black light. It trembled slightly, and that familiar and intimate energy suddenly retracted and flowed back into the metal tube. Just as Dumby was surprised, the metal tube suddenly lost its shape and became a ball of soft liquid. It deftly drilled into the Giant Snake Armor on Dumby's right hand, and with a soft ding, it disappeared. At the same time that the iron cylinder disappeared, Dumb clearly felt that familiar energy suddenly erupt. It carried an incomparable warmth and instantly spread throughout his body, nourishing every part of his body. The damage caused to his body by the pain in his heart seemed to have been instantly healed by this warm energy. The feeling of flesh and blood came from Dumb's right forearm. He seemed to feel Goris's presence again. With eyes brimming with tears, he rolled up the Giant Snake Armour on his arm, revealing the skin underneath. Dumb discovered that the black gray iron cylinder had completely fused into his skin. Nearly twenty centimeters of skin on his right forearm had turned black. A faint light circulated softly, and the familiar feeling made all the pain in Dumb's heart disappear completely.
"Teacher Goris, you, you became this wrist guard? Yes, that must be it.
Although you are already dead, your soul will forever live in this wrist guard. We are one, teacher, we will never be separated. Since this wrist guard has been your wish for decades, I will name it Goris's Wish. I will always carry your soul and your wish, teacher. Dumb will not be sad anymore, because you will always be with me. In my heart, you will always be alive. " Goris's Wish flashed, and the warm energy increased a bit, as if responding to Dumb.
Dumb said happily, "Teacher, are you satisfied with this name? Goris's Wish, you will always be my protector. "
The great human alchemist Goris used his own soul to make the first low level divine weapon, which was named by his disciple Dumb – Goris's Wish.
Dumb jumped down from the cauldron, and focused all of his attention on Goris's Wish on his right wrist. Looking at the black lines, he seemed to see the wrinkles on Goris's face, and he finally found some comfort in his grief. He sat on the ground, leaning against the cauldron, and stroked Goris's Wish on his wrist. Wrapped in the warm energy, he finally fell asleep for the first time since returning to the Forest of Illusion. This timely sleep and the protection of Goris's Wish finally relieved his inner fatigue, and pulled him back from the edge of cultivation deviation.
After receiving Goris's Wish, Dumb's spirit found sustenance. The next morning, when he woke up, he felt that he had returned to his former self. He stretched his body, and a strong sense of hunger came. Ah! It seems like I haven't eaten for a long time. Dumb raised his right hand, and took a deep look at Goris's Wish on his arm. Although the warm feeling had weakened a lot, he could still feel the familiar energy.
Dumb walked to the table with pills, and there were more than ten bottles of pills with labels on them. Looking around, almost all of them were poisons. All kinds of poisons. He shook his head helplessly, and reached out to open one of the three wooden boxes. Inside was the notebook that Goris had given him. Dumb trembled as he held the notebook in his hand, and flipped through it page by page. The familiar handwriting and content made him excited again. When he flipped to the last page, he found an extra piece of paper, and on it was written: Dumb, my child. This divine weapon forging method, let it disappear with me. Dumby hugged the notebook tightly to its chest and murmured to itself,
"Teacher. You often say that I'm dumb, but aren't you also dumb? In order to forge a divine weapon, you actually abandoned your own life. Don't worry, I will definitely cherish Goris's Wish as much as I cherish my own life. " As he said that, he opened the other two boxes. These two boxes, respectively, contained Goris's magical notebook, and the methods to use the items hanging on the wall. Looking at the things that Goris left behind, Dumb couldn't help but be a little dazed.
After a long time. It was the strong sense of hunger that woke Dumb up from his daze, and he carefully put the three notebooks back in their original places. Rubbing his stomach, Dumb decided to go eat something first. He took out the last page of the letter that Goris left for him, and walked to the side of the cauldron according to the method written on it. He crouched down, and crawled under the cauldron. There, he found a protruding stone, pressed down on the stone, and spun three times to the left. With a creaking sound, Dumb, who was crouching, felt his body moving. The stone slab under his feet actually moved his body horizontally, and rushed towards the wall where all sorts of items were hanging. While Dumb was still in a daze, a crack appeared on the wall, and Dumb, with the stone slab, rushed directly into the crack. His surroundings were plunged into darkness, and Dumb could clearly feel that, with the stone slab under his feet, his body was continuously rising diagonally forward. After a while, a ray of light suddenly appeared above his head, and before he was completely ready, his body had already appeared in a fog. Dumb was startled, and under his deliberate urging of fighting energy, he looked around, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he was actually in an orchard. Looking at the overturned stone slab beside him, he walked out. As soon as he left, the stone slab covered with shrubs had already closed up, and from the outside, not a single crack could be seen. Dumb, who was familiar with Goris's notes, knew that this exit could not be opened from the outside.
The fruits around him were so familiar. As no one had picked them for many years, they had grown exceptionally well. Looking at the huge fruits of various colors, Dumb thought that he had returned to seven years ago. Dumb plucked a purple fruit beside him, and a refreshing fragrance entered his body. This was his favorite Purple Cloud Fruit! He took a light bite, and sucked the sweet juice from the fruit. A cool current entered his body, and immediately, Dumb felt refreshed. Looking at everything around him that stood aloof from worldly affairs, Dumb secretly decided that he would observe mourning for Goris here for a year, and then look for the people from the Assassin's Guild to avenge Owen. If there was really a thousand-year calamity on the continent, then he would do his best. If there were no changes on the continent, then he would return here to spend the rest of his life. Thinking of this, Dumby's mood suddenly brightened. Like a butterfly weaving through flowers, he began to dance in the orchard, the sweet fruits constantly filling his hungry body.
Eleven months later, in April of the 997th year of the Divine Calendar. Holy Holy Hall.
Xuanyue stretched her delicate body as she walked out of the Divine Hall of Light. It had been two years since she had been baptized by God. In these two years, she had made great progress, completely exceeding Pope's expectations. In just two years, she had already surpassed the level of the White Priest. No matter how difficult the incantation, or how difficult the magic to control, she could learn it at a speed several times faster than that of an ordinary person. In particular, in terms of magic power, she had improved by leaps and bounds. The current Xuanyue was no longer the Beginner Mage Xuanyue who relied on the support of artifacts. Her divine magic had entered the realm of Magic Shooters, and she was not inferior to the White Priests of the Holy Hall at all.
The bright sunlight fell on Xuanyue's pretty face, and her beautiful face was full of a holy aura under the sunlight. She was like an awe-inspiring and inviolable Saintess, and every movement she made was filled with astonishing beauty. The current her had already surpassed her mother's height, reaching about 1.75 meters. She was not the slightest bit inferior to an ordinary man. Her long blue hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, reaching down to her knees. If she was still a beautiful little girl three years ago, then the current her had already fully developed into a stunning beauty. Although she was wrapped in a loose white goddess' robe, it could not hide her impressive figure. Xuanyue did not avoid the glaring sunlight, and her body and mind were in a state of tranquility. In these few days, her divine magic seemed to have improved again. Apart from the few eighth level spells that required too much magic power, she had basically learned all the divine magic of the Holy Hall and the spatial magic stored in the Blood of the Wind Phoenix.
"Hey, Yue, it really is you! Long time no see. " A clear and bright voice with a hint of surprise woke Xuanyue from her tranquility. She slightly turned her body and saw a tall young man. The young man was wearing a white robe, and the corners of the white robe were sewn with gold thread. He had broad shoulders and a long sword hanging from his waist. He was wearing the standard attire of a Judge of Light from the Holy Hall. His handsome face carried a hint of a surprised smile as he quickly walked towards Xuanyue. The position of a Judge of Light in the Holy Hall was second only to the Presiding Judge and the Holy Judge. They were the backbone of the world's Judge of Light. To be able to reach this level, the Judge of Light must have reached a very high level of martial arts.
Xuanyue slightly frowned. For a moment, she did not recognize this somewhat familiar face. She murmured:
"Who are you! Why have you come to the Temple of Light? This is not a place where you people of the Judge of Light should come. "Her voice was calm and composed, without any emotional fluctuations.
