Chapter 134 - Nisoth’s Prophecy (1/2)
33rd floor, room 3301. Gu Ding stood in front of the door and was just about to knock when he heard an elderly voice yell out, “Come in!”
Gu Ding reached out to turn the door handle-it was unlocked, and then pushed open the door.
The room was bright and spacious with exquisite decorations. A tall white-bearded old man in a wheelchair looked at Gu Ding with a smile.
“Would you like something to drink? I just found out they have a collection of 880-year-old red wine in this hotel-they’re almost the same age as me. You look like you don’t drink though. Would you like some tea or fruit juice instead?” The old man said kindly.
“I…It’s alright.” Gu Ding shook his head as he saw that it was inconvenient for the old-timer to walk.
“Are you embarrassed to ask for a drink just because I’m disabled?” The old man moved his fingers slightly and a glass quickly flew into his hand, as though it was pulled by an invisible force. “You must prefer sugary drinks like fruit juice. I’ll get you a glass of my signature.”
The old man said and took out seven different fruits from Inventory. His fingers moved and the drink made itself right before Gu Ding’s eyes. About two or three minutes later, a colorful glass of juice was ready. He handed Gu Ding the glass. “This drink is called A Colorful Life. I learned it from a bartender-it’s a non-alcoholic drink.”
Gu Ding looked at the psychedelic colors in the glass and took a sip. Other than its sweetness, there’s also a strange unspeakable taste. The drink may not contain alcohol, but it could intoxicate you.
Gu Ding who thought it tasted good, drank it in one gulp-not forgetting to stick out his tongue to lick the residue on his lips after finishing it. “Delicious!”
The old man smiled and said, “It’s best to finish A Colorful Life in seven sips because each sip is a different taste. However, chugging it like that is a completely different experience as well.”
“Isn’t a drink’s main purpose to quench our thirst?” Gu Ding grinned and said.
“That’s true. The main thing is to quench our thirst, good taste only comes as an added bonus.” The old man nodded.
“Old man, you wanted to see me?” Gu Ding decided not to beat around the bush anymore after the drink.
“Alright, are you the seller of those Witch Tribe items at the auction?” The old man finally got to the point.
Gu Ding nodded. “That’s right.”
“Did you guys encounter space-time backtracking and stole them from Witch Tribe?” The old man asked.
Gu Ding did not hide this from the little old man, he immediately nodded. “Yes.”
“Did you meet someone called Arthas during space-time backtracking?” The old man stared at Gu Ding, as though it was important to him.
“I did, he was only about ten-years-old. I know he became a Witch Tribe Spirit later on.” Gu Ding nodded.
“Did that same Arthas know how to refine purification medicine?” The old man continued asking.
“He did. I taught him how to refine purification medicine.” Gu Ding did not quite understand why the old man would ask these questions.
After hearing the answer, the old man who was originally sat upright leaned weakly on the back of his wheelchair. “It seems that Witch Tribe did not perish…”
