In a deserted room on the third floor, a man holding a strange metal machine suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Gu Qingshan put away the portable micro jumper, and his spiritual thoughts spread out, reflecting the entire room in his divine soul.
Various commemorative things are displayed in categories.
There was no sound in the entire showroom, and there was a sense of deathly silence in the air.
"Found it." Gu Qingshan whispered.
There is only one painting hanging in the whole room.
The painting shows the scene on Anna's tenth birthday.
The king touched Anna's head with one hand and held the exquisite and small crown with the other hand, preparing to put it on her.
Anna, who was still a little girl, looked at the king with a sweet smile on her face.
Gu Qingshan strode forward and took a closer look.
"Beautiful embryo."
He commented softly and took the painting off the wall in a few moments.
Opening the frame, I reached out and touched the back of the painting, and then I touched something.
Gu Qingshan took out the thing and saw that it was indeed a small long box.
There are no traps on the box and it opens easily.
There are two items inside, a roll of blueprints, and a turbid glass ball.
Gu Qingshan took out the thick roll of drawings, unfolded it and looked at it slowly.
I saw that the drawings were filled with the configuration methods and proportions of various ingredients.
Yes, this is it.
Gu Qingshan glanced at it, patted the storage bag, and put the roll of drawings in it.
He was about to pick up the glass ball and take a closer look, but unexpectedly the glass ball broke into pieces with a "pop".
The entire glass ball disappeared.
Gu Qingshan was stunned and looked around with his spiritual thoughts, but found nothing.
The king of the Holy Kingdom would not hide a useless thing here solemnly.
But the glass ball disappeared as soon as I bought it.
There are so many things in the world that have this kind of effect, and I can’t even remember what they are in my haste.
Gu Qingshan waited quietly for a moment, but nothing happened.
Could it be that it has been stored for too long and has lost its effectiveness?
No longer waiting, he carefully put the painting back into the frame, and then hung the frame back on the wall.
Everything is restored as before, and no one will notice that anyone has been here.
Surprisingly smooth.
The top-notch awakening potion is available!
This is not only a step closer to the advancement of "killing evil".
Go back and give this formula to the goddess of justice, and the goddess will naturally deduce the dilution method of ordinary potions.
At that time, with the system you have made, you will be able to choose your chosen career.
Tianxuan and Martial Arts are both optional professions, so only Five Elements Civilization is left.
Preparation for career choice is two-thirds complete!
Gu Qingshan took out the portable micro-jump again, activated it, and prepared to leave.
Liao Xing's voice came from the jumper.
"The position has been locked. The goddess of justice is preparing to jump in thirty seconds."
"The Pope is still in the Holy See, and everything else is normal - wait, Saint Ivan has left. He is patrolling around." His voice suddenly rose.
"It doesn't matter, I'll leave right away." Gu Qingshan said.
"Oh, too."
Liao Xing seemed to feel that he was making a bit of a fuss and said embarrassedly.
"Pay attention to the changes in the transition data, thank you for your hard work." Gu Qingshan said, feeling very relaxed.
With a sumptuous dinner and the Holy Kingdom's national-suppressing potion, Gu Qingshan felt that the night was quite perfect.
He was waiting to leave when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Gu Qingshan suddenly raised his head and saw a person standing in the air, looking at him quietly.
This is an old man, a haggard old man.
The old man's body was translucent, and his eyes were staring at Gu Qingshan closely.
"Who are you?" the old man asked.
Gu Qingshan was stunned.
"Where's Anna? Where's my little Anna?" The old man murmured in great disappointment.
"It's a pity that after the Horcrux is opened, I can only exist for ten minutes, but I can't see Anna anymore."
He lowered his head, with an unprecedented regret on his face.
"Your Majesty the King!" Gu Qingshan lost his voice.
Gu Qingshan has recognized it, this is the soul of the King of the Holy Kingdom!
"Why! You are actually hiding here!"
He couldn't help but ask: "How could Anna come here to find you in such a hidden place?"
The old man muttered: "She will definitely come. The Chosen Awakening Potion is the foundation of the kingdom. As long as she lives, she will definitely come."
Gu Qingshan was still uneasy and used his spiritual mind to sweep it lightly.
——This is indeed the soul of the king!
But after death, the soul cannot remain in the world for a long time.
Could that humble transparent glass bead really be a Horcrux?
If all this is not a dream, it means that the King of the Holy Kingdom has been preparing for this day for a long time. He knows that he is likely to die at the hands of the Pope.
The king wanted to see his daughter Anna again at the end.
Gu Qingshan couldn't help but think for a moment.
——In the last life, after the king died, did Anna see the king’s soul?
This painting was given to Madame Pontou by the king.
After the king's death, Anna's soul was controlled by the dwarf, and she served as food for the dwarf's growth, providing soul nutrients.
At that time, she was completely imprisoned, and she would no longer have this freedom, nor would she have the thought to find a backup for this potion.
By the time Anna returned to the country with the help of the Fuxi Empire, the Holy Kingdom was already in disarray. Madame Pontou also died in the war, and the painting was nowhere to be found.
——I don’t know if the king’s soul has always been sealed or if it has been opened by others. Anyway, the Holy Kingdom’s chosen awakening potion has been cut off since then.
From this point of view, Anna must have missed the king in her last life.
Gu Qingshan sighed and said: "Wait a moment, I will take Anna over right away."
The old man raised his head suddenly, his eyes regained their vitality.
"Really?" he asked almost tremblingly.
"certainly."
Gu Qingshan said and quickly adjusted the portable micro jumper.
"Huh? What's going on? Your data connection was interrupted?" Liao Xing's voice sounded.
"Is Anna here?"
"Yes."
"You teleport her over."
"Huh? But the jumper can only be used three times by a single person, and you have already used it once."
If Anna is teleported here, only one person can leave through the jumper after the incident is over.
The remaining person can only find another way to escape.
Gu Qingshan said solemnly: "Teleport her over immediately, the situation here is very urgent!"
"Okay, okay, oh, she said she's ready, the jump will take about thirty seconds, please wait."
Liao Xing's voice disappeared.
Thirty seconds can be said to be fast or long.
Before Anna came, Gu Qingshan asked: "Your Majesty, you are obviously dead, but your soul can still exist in the world. Why is this?"
The King of the Holy Kingdom looked at him and said: "It's okay to tell you. I broke the iron law of life and death and stored myself in a Horcrux to preserve energy, so I can stay in the world."
"How can you break the iron law of life and death? Human beings cannot do this." Gu Qingshan asked.
"Because I paid enough."
"What price."
"In ten minutes, my soul will be gone."
Gu Qingshan was stunned.
After a few seconds, he came to his senses and said, "The price is too heavy. Why do you do this?"
"I want to see Anna." The king said.
Gu Qingshan said incomprehensibly: "But in this case, you will completely dissipate, unable to exist in any world, and you will not gain any new life."
The king's eyes were full of sorrow and he said in a low voice: "If I forget Anna, then I will become another person and no longer the real me."
Gu Qingshan was stunned.
The king sighed: "Anna, my child, after I disappear, she will be left alone in this cold world. This is my fault."
"No, father, it's not your fault." Anna appeared in the showroom.
She bit her lip, tears streaming down her face, and touched the king's face with trembling hands.
My slender fingers penetrated the illusory soul, but couldn't touch anything.
"Father, why are you doing this?" she cried bitterly. "You go to another world so that I can live peacefully. Now you can't even save your soul."
"No, you will not live in peace of mind. I know you too well. You will definitely put the shackles of the fate of the entire family on your shoulders."
"Daughter, you don't have to be like this."
The king looked at his daughter, as if he wanted to keep her in mind.
"Anna, I was too strict with you before, but everything I did was to train you so that you can better inherit the Holy Kingdom in the future."
"Now I have to say, if I could do it all over again, I would rather you not learn so many things. As long as you live well and don't suffer any grievances, then even if my soul disappears, my heart will be happy."
Gu Qingshan's brain suddenly lit up.
"Your Excellency, it's an emergency. Someone is coming upstairs." Goddess Justice said.
"who is it?"
"Ivan, one of the Seven Saints, hurry up!" Liao Xing urged.
"Gu Qingshan, time is tight, move faster." Zhang Yinghao's anxious voice sounded.
The expressions of the three people changed.
"You are no match for him, forget it, let's go." The king said.
"how about you?"
"I'm satisfied after meeting Anna, and I will dissipate in a while."
"You go quickly, don't die here because of me, that's not my intention." The king urged.
Tears could not stop flowing silently from Anna's eyes, dripping down her smooth chin and falling to the ground.
She had to fight tooth and nail to briefly control her sobs.
She raised her head, with the deepest pain and reluctance in her eyes.
"Go quickly!" the king urged.
"I--"
Anna tried her best to spit out one word, but she couldn't say it.
She could hardly stand, and had to hold Gu Qingshan's shoulders with her hands to stabilize her body.
"Your Excellency, Saint Ivan has arrived on the third floor. I will activate the jumper for you now." Goddess of Justice said.
Gu Qingshan closed his eyes, opened them again, and suddenly said: "No need."
"Your Excellency?" the goddess of justice asked in confusion.
Gu Qingshan smiled, looked at Anna and said: "Anna, listen to me."
"In the last few minutes, I hope you can spend some time with your father."
"If we leave now, you will be sad for the rest of your life."
"Don't wait until we are separated forever and have eternal regrets in our hearts."
Gu Qingshan said, placing the portable micro jumper on the ground next to Anna.
"What do you want to do!" Anna said uncontrollably.
"You don't have to care about what I do, because even if it weren't for you, I would do it." Gu Qingshan said.
He walked toward the door and continued talking.
"No one should interrupt a father's final moments with his daughter."
"Not even the saints can."
He went out and closed the door behind him.
