Chapter 517 (1/2)
Life. This is a topic that has been thought about countless times since the birth of biology. It is too simple and too profound, simple to, even ants will fight for survival, so profound that human beings with intelligence will be desperate for others. Life, how many meanings does it have? Or, in fact, there is only one explanation, or even none. For so many years, some people learned the meaning of life from the mouth of God's residence, some people understood the only life from the murmur of demons, and others understood the endless and short life from the natural things of trees, flowers, plants, birds, beasts, insects and fish. So what is life?
I'm afraid that as many creatures as there are, there will be many answers to this question, but most of them will have a different and common feature. Life should not be terminated easily. In most cases, the longer it is, the better. People are always afraid of the unknown, and death is the ultimate unknown. Even the best caster in the world can't see what will happen after death. As a result, people are always avoiding death. Is there a mistake? I don't think so.
However, some things in this world are just like this. Everyone's birth can't be controlled, the situation is very different, and the experience will not agree. Only death comes to everyone in a fair and equal way that people can avoid. It is like an invisible noose, set on each neck, only wait for a moment, can be tightened to no room. Fortunately, most people in the world can not see this noose, their muddled life, muddleheaded aging, ushered in the end of numbness. It should be a blessing, compared to those who can see the noose, to the ravens and witches.
”Endless, life span?” The curse crow's eyes narrowed, and his voice fluctuated significantly as he repeated the sentence. For a wizard who has been plagued by death for a long time, let alone endless life span. Even if it is only a very short life-span increase, he is willing to fight for a lot of things.
Kuila, however, is keenly aware of this. She was very satisfied with the curse crow's response, but also had a vague worry. No one knows more about the desire for life than the witch, so she also knows what crazy things people do to increase their time. Although the existence promised to provide kuila with a way to live indefinitely, the witch was not sure whether that method could be shared with others. To put it another way, even if he could, kuila didn't want the Raven to be the sharer.
However, at this time, the transaction will continue. Seeing that the fish has been hooked, the witch's face showed a confident smile, ”yes, that's right. It's longevity. ”
”Are you sure? Is this the price that the existence that trades with you The magic light twinkled in the eyes of the curse crow, and the huge temptation did not deprive the magician of his thinking ability. He soon realized several things. First, what kind of existence has such a secret door to life and death? Second, with such a secret existence, why would you be willing to exchange such a huge chip for such a low-cost service of a witch? You should know that it is not too much to use the method of longevity as a chip to let any creature become its permanent servant. From this point of view, witches pay too little price. And thirdly, is this so-called infinite life really what you think?
”Of course, I'm not sure.” To my surprise, kuirah didn't give an affirmative answer. ”I don't think anyone will take all of this. But don't you think that as long as there's even a one percent chance that this deal can't be rejected? ”
Grey robe did not answer, but silence itself was a kind of affirmation. Indeed, since there are bombs disguised as gifts, there are gifts in the shape of bombs. The only difference is that the latter is likely to be missed, while the former is often accepted. However, this is still not the reason why mantra agreed to the deal. He shook his head and said, ”very attractive conditions. But it's too good to be realized in my opinion. I need something more practical. ”
”Oh? I'm afraid that's not right, Mr. crow. I'll exchange the rat man captivity for the body of Ellie, and I'll share the secret of eternal life with you for peace. Then it's your turn to put the chips. But in my opinion, I don't need more from you, do I? ” Kuira smiles, knowing that the curse crow has lost its initiative in this negotiation. The wizard can't resist the temptation of immortality. He is just like himself, looking for some consolation and some reasons to persuade him to participate in the gambling.
”I have heard that you came to this kingdom for the purpose of getting rid of the traitors. Since I caused the death of your subordinates, I think I will complete her mission on my behalf. You will not refuse, will you? ” Said the magician with a frown, his voice less certain, because at this time he could not be sure how much interest kuirah was in killing emia and klandi. This is not a good price, but it is the curse crow can think of the other party's most wanted.
