Chapter 43 Eternal Tears (2/2)
The unfortunate thing was there were two outstanding people to choose during this selection.
It’s between her and me!”
Shaar was somewhat disappointed……
Why was it not the peachy gossip that he imagined? Was it only simple competitors plotting against each other?
“The selection is very fair.”Ada felt that Shaar was having some doubts: “Such selections were made by the tribes’ elders and patriarch, therefore impossible to falsify. Because Dora lost to me, that opportunity fell upon me. I entered the Holy land and carried out the prayer ……”
When Ada arrived at this point, his explanation became quite vague and did not talk too much about while quickly moving on the story: “When I left the Holy land, I became the most enviable person of the dragon race. Almost every dragon started to discuss about me being selected to pray to the dragon god.
And these, of course deeply offended the feelings of Dora who lost.”
Shaar sharpened his ears and felt that the juice part finally arrived.
As expected……
“Soon, Dora met up with me. At first, she pretended to respect me with a nice attitude while flattering me to please me. Very quick, we became a couple recognized by the whole dragon race. Although we were from different tribes, but because we were tribal leaders, the whole dragon race was very optimistic about our unions.
However, all this was all a scheme for her wicked plan!
At our wedding day, she gave me a strong poison and put me under a curse.”
Ada smiled gently while his fingers were trembling and in his eyes, a deep chill could be seen: “Before, I liked studying Transformation magic a lot. For a dragon, this kind of magic was nothing much since many dragons would use Transformation magic to turn into other races. They would infiltrate humans, dwarves and other races while travelling around the world for pleasure. I especially liked Transformation magic and during our weeding night she deceived me. She made me take on the appearance of a human and then make me drink her violent poison – eternal tears.”
Shaar frowned: “What tears?”
“Eternal tears.” Ada took a deep breath and his eyes flashed in anger: “It is a strange treasure belonging to the elves. It grows in the seed of something called the ‘Forgotten world flower’. It is very rare and hard to find. The only use for this kind of thing is for its strange curse.
According to legend, as long as you take in a drop of eternal tears, regardless of how your appearance is at that time, you will permanently kept it forever.”
At the beginning, Shaar disliked the idea, but then suddenly had a change of heart – forever……
“My god! Will you able to live forever?”
Looking at Shaar’s face filled with a pleasantly surprised twist, Ada sneered and dispelled Shaar’s wishful thinking with an ice-cold voice: “Of course not.”
He sighed: “You just keep the appearance from before. This means, if you drink a drop of this thing now, then when you are 80 years old, you will still look young. However, your lifespan will not be lengthened since only your appearance stays young and you do not increase your vitality.”
Shaar was surprised and could not help but get disappointed and depressed: It seemed that you could only maintain your original appearance.
He then immediately changed his mind. Even if it did not increase the longevity, but by making someone looked forever young would already be enough to make a woman go crazy in this world!
Just thinking about it, if there was something in this world that could make women look like a 18 year old girl when they are 80 years old just by drinking it – If there was really such a thing, would not every woman on this world break their necks to get it?
Shaar’s face immediately showed how excited he was and he started to rub his hands: “That, thing ……That tears thing, where can I get it?”
Ada immediately saw through Shaar’s deceitful intentions and snorted: “Don’t even think about it, you can only find it in the elf territory and is extremely rare. It is impossible for you to get it.”
At first, Shaar was somewhat disappointed, but then suddenly remembered that he heard a lot of “according to legend” today. In any case, in the future there would always be some opportunity to verify it one by one. First, he needed to keep that in mind for later.
Ada continued talking:”At that time, during the evening of our wedding, she made me turn into my human form and I did not reject her request. Afterwards, I drank the poison she gave me with her own hand.
Since that day, I am trapped in human body until now!”
“Damn!” Shaar could not bear it and got angry: “This woman, ah no, how is this female dragon so vicious? Just because you were selected she took revenge against you? But ……Why didn’t she directly kill you with poison?”
Ada laughed and looked at Shaar with gentle eyes while saying in a calm voice: “Can’t you guess? Dear magical beast hunter, I don’t like it when you pretend to be a rude savage in front of me – you might be a rude person, but I know for sure that you are not a fool!”
Shaar was stunned for a moment by Ada’s words and made two hollow laughs while scratching his hairs: “Well ……I think that she hoped to hear from your mouth the secret of the dragon god’s blessing, right? Did your god manifested in the end and did it really grant you a powerful ability?”
Hearing this, Ada stayed silent for a moment and suddenly sighed. He then glanced at Shaar with a gentle look and replied in a very serious tone: “You are quite smart, so why do you actually like to pretend to be vulgar and narrow-minded?”
