"If you need to buy potion ingredients in the future, you are welcome to come to the store at any time. I will always be here," Melanie waved to the two of them.
"I will, Granny Melanie," Mir smiled at Melanie.
"See you then~ I wish you all the best," Melanie said with a sincere blessing. These are not polite words. She always wishes every guest her best. Only through smooth sublimation can the guests become repeat customers and bring greater success. market.
After all, the path is a long one.
"Thank you, Granny Melanie, and I wish you a prosperous business," the two held hands and said goodbye to Melanie.
All three of them had smiles on their faces.
Returning to Haowu Street from the original alley, Mir walked on the street, holding up the bulging bags in his hands, which were not reduced by half, and tightening the purse with silk prints. He couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Melanie is such a good person."
"Yeah," Emilia agreed.
After a while, he returned to Haowu Leather, opened the store door, fumbled to light the gas lamp, and looked at the small cubicle. Mir suddenly had a problem. There was only one bed in it, but there was no night train in Stolen. And it is too dangerous to be separated from Emilia now. No one knows that those heretics will emerge from that corner.
After all, he had killed a local heretic. Those outside heretics must have regarded him as a threat, and Emilia would also be regarded as an accomplice, because the newspaper reported that they were killed together.
For a short period of time, the two cannot be separated. This is the mutual protection of both parties. Although he has the means to kill the heretic within five meters, he will fall into a deep sleep afterwards. The heretic is not a fool. He probably has already fallen asleep after seeing that photo in the newspaper. This possibility was taken into account.
And Emilia is also a cultist after all. Although she has just gained attention, but just like herself, she has an initial ability before becoming a sequencer. Although she doesn't know what it is, it cannot be that her strength has become stronger.
Under special circumstances, you might be able to catch the opponent off guard.
"You can make do with it tonight and sleep in the cubicle." He pulled Amelia to the cubicle, walked inside, and turned on the portable gas lamp on the shelf.
Then he squatted down, dragged the money box out from under the bed, opened it, opened the silk money bag, poured the gold coins in, leaving only ten gold coins in the money bag, closed it and pushed it under the bed.
"Okay," Emilia said with a little joy on her face, she walked to the bed and sat down, looking at Mil who was squatting: "I'm so sleepy, let's take a rest."
"Well," Mir nodded, and then walked out of the room: "Good night, go to bed early."
Looking at him and seeing the door of the cubicle closed, Amelia was a little confused. It took a while to react. She got up and walked out of the room. She saw Mil using cheap linen on the clean floor of the shop, with his head resting on his hands. Put one leg on top of the other.
When he saw Amelia walking out of the small cubicle, he thought she was not used to sleeping on that bed: "If the bed is too hard, I can lay two layers of silk for you."
"I..." Emilia's cheeks turned red, then she took a deep breath, mustered up the greatest courage in her life, walked to Mir and sat down: "I, we can't separate, it's too dangerous."
After hearing this, Mir thought about it carefully. Indeed, if a heretic sneaks in at night, the two of them can be separated and attacked from both sides: "You are right, you have indeed neglected this consideration. Those crazy heretics, Who knows what they might do.”
The enemy is in the light and we are in the dark, so we can't let down our guard at all.
Mir nodded: "Let's go back to the cubicle. If a heretic breaks in, the distance to the cubicle can serve as a buffer zone."
Then he stood up and rolled up the linen.
He walked to the small cubicle, spread the linen on the floor next to the bed, and lay down with a relieved look on his face.
Looking at this scene, Emilia's eyes couldn't help but jump twice, like a frustrated cat, sitting on the edge of the bed with a helpless expression.
"Good night, Emilia."
"Hmm~"
As time passed, Mir listened to the rhythmic breathing. It seemed that she fell asleep before him. He picked up the potion bottle in his pocket and looked at the fiery red potion inside, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The potion is ready, but I still don’t have a clue about my path. Thinking of this, I can’t help calling in my mind: "Ellie~ are you there? Ellie~"
"Hmm~" A melodious moan came from my mind, as lazy as a little girl who had just woken up and was still confused.
"Ellie, I have obtained the potion. Now I only need the path and sequence nine ritual information. After completion, I can perform the sublimation ceremony." Hearing the lazy groan in his mind, Mir breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not Keep sleeping, otherwise you will be in a dead end.
"Immortal!" When Ellie heard this, her lazy tone became a lot more excited: "Death is too unbelievable. Everything is dying. Everything does not appear out of thin air. The world should be constant, and the dying parts will disappear again. Where?"
"Immortal?" This answer made Mir a little surprised. The other nine ways, whether it was deception or protection, were all behaviors, but when it came to him, it was more like a pursuit.
As for the death she was talking about, all she knew about it was the law of entropy increase, or even a basic concept. A simple understanding of the law of entropy increase means that boiling water will always become colder, new clothes will always become older than old ones, and the sun will eventually fade away. Becoming a white dwarf star, even if that takes a long time, order will always move closer to chaos as time goes by.
The law of entropy increase demonstrates the ultimate law of evolution of all things. The entire universe will eventually reach heat death. Is this the death in her eyes?
"So, my path is immortality, does it mean that I have to fight against death?" After Mir said this, he muttered in his heart: 'Does it mean that I have to fight against entropy? '
"Death is abnormal, but He has existed from the beginning, leading the world to run towards Him," Ellie's tone was no longer lazy, with a slight seriousness: "Life is too deeply immersed in death, and the first step to fight against death is to Beginning with the soul, only you can do this.
Sequence Nine - Soul under the blazing sun.
Ritual: Die under the scorching sun at noon. Take the magic potion at the moment of death. As long as the body is exposed to the scorching sun, the soul can come to reality. The greater the scorching sun, the deeper the connection between me and you. "
"The moment your body dies, you take the magic potion?" These words made Mir a little stunned: "Ellie, is the death you are talking about subjective or objective? How can I drink it when I'm dead? Can I have the magic potion poured into my stomach after committing suicide? It won’t be digested either.”
"Suicide is too eye-catching," Ellie's tone was soft, as if she was whispering: "No one knows when He existed, and no one knows where His authority leads. A body that is supposed to have no soul is eye-catching enough. , please use coincidence to fight against death."
"Ah, you have always known that I am not the original Mir," Mir smiled awkwardly, but after thinking about it, he paid more attention to it. When we first met, we met in the form of souls. Compared with the body of the soul, Elf, she even missed her former form in her hometown. When she first met him, she knew that she was not the original Mir.
In other words, she came because of the call of her soul. After all, if Mir had called a god at will to make him cast his gaze, there would be no need for any suicide ritual.
Wait, suicide?
"Ellie, isn't the original Mir the original Sequence Nine loser?" Mir was a little confused.
"No," Ellie said simply, but there was a hint of grievance in her tone: "I have been sleeping for too long. It was you who woke me up, and it was you who brought out a tenth of me. But now you The soul cannot appear in reality."
So that graceful figure on fire is one-tenth Ellie? This shocked Mir. He only said that he now has one-tenth of a god in his soul?
"Well, I wonder if I can ask, Ellie, why did you fall into a deep sleep?" Mir asked curiously: "Of course, if you can't tell me, just pretend I didn't ask."
"There is no need to hide it from you. There are always losers in the pursuit of immortality. I am that loser." At this point, Ellie's tone was a little playful: "Are you scared? Little soul, the road you are chasing , even the sun hanging high in the sky failed.”
"So you are really the sun," Mill's focus is always surprising: "The sun, that fiery star, accounts for 99.6% of the solar system's total volume. I can't imagine your failure."
Now that she already knows that she is not the Mil she used to be, there is nothing to be cautious about. It is no big deal to come up with some novel concepts occasionally.
"I don't know what the solar system you are talking about is, but from the idea you conveyed, I understand what you want to say and the solar system you are talking about. It's a pretty good description. This star field is indeed surrounding me. .
But, you think of me too small. The solar system you talk about has more than one place in this void, and the sun is all me.
Fiery star, this is a good name, just like my authority, heat, all the heat in the world comes from me. I am the sun goddess and the lord of all fiery stars. "
Hearing this, Mir's mouth twitched. What the hell? Lord of fiery stars. How many hot stars are there in the universe? Billions? Or trillions? How many suns are there in the universe? Are they all hers? This is too outrageous.
"Little soul, I have existed for a long time, so long that I doubt the meaning of birth. I feel that death is guiding me. I don't like it. I have found meaning and resisted death, but I failed. When I fell asleep , the land you are in is still dead silent.
You woke me up, and the world today feels novel to me, but I have been sleeping for too long, and my consciousness has been destroyed and dispersed in this void, like ink dripping into water. I need to gather, gather all my consciousness in one place, and pay attention to You move closer.
My essence is divided into ten parts, and one-tenth of my essence can only contain one-tenth of the authority.
I hope that one day you can bring all ten of me into your soul to fight against death together. "
Mir looked confused. There was a lot of information, but it was too abstract.
"It's like when you play a game and open ten numbers, but you can't focus on one number?" Mir twitched the corner of his mouth.
"I don't understand what you mean, but I accept the idea you want to convey. Your idea is correct."
