The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 406: The immortal person
"Is it you who caused the problem at the palace?"
The spirit body of Nicholas II frowned: "In order to get the wizard's bone marrow, you rushed to the palace to kill people?
"...I'm starting to regret it a little now."
"What do you regret?"
"I regret that I should not have given you the technology of the Philosopher's Stone."
Nicholas II glared at Bernardino very dissatisfied.
He completely did not expect that Bernardino would do such an outrageous thing.
To put it bluntly... there are so many dark wizards in the royal capital, why don't you just kill one of them?
Even if a better quality spinal cord is needed, there are still silver level extraordinary beings in the capital.
The Philosopher's Stone made by a Silver-level transcendent is enough to be used seven or eight times. The length of each use is up to the standard battle length of five minutes - is it necessary to take such an extremely **** method as entering the palace and directly removing the spine?
"I don't even know what you will do with it after you successfully create the Philosopher's Stone."
The white-haired young spirit frowned, took a few steps forward, and scolded unceremoniously: "Even if you have a grudge against that wizard, don't you know how to cover it up a little?
"Will you die if you dispose of the body? If that doesn't work, can you take the whole body away? Why do you want to leave a body without a spine?"
I'm afraid I'm going to get into trouble this time.
I don’t know if I will be imprisoned...or maybe executed directly by Father Shi.
After all, strictly speaking, I can even be regarded as a "re-education prisoner".
When he came here, he was not allowed to contact anyone.
After he taught Bernardino how to make the "Hermetic Philosopher's Stone", the smelly old man immediately stabbed him in the back...
He even took away the opponent's spine without destroying the body!
Isn’t this intentional to let clues find its way to your head?
Bernardino just smiled.
The old man sitting in the wheelchair said slowly: "I just need to use it to extend my life...that's all."
"The 'Philosopher's Stone' is the perfect essence of the elements, the greatest thing in the world. Even if it is not completely manufactured, it can completely change a person's destiny."
Nicholas II emphasized: "Don't just use it as a tool or a medicine."
"No, no, no, Nicholas."
The old man chuckled and murmured with joy and satisfaction: "Of course I won't treat it as a tool.
"——Because it will be my blood, my fuel, my heart, my life, equal to everything I cherish...and the starting point of my destiny."
Bernardino said slowly, raising his head from the wheelchair.
Hearing this, Nicholas II frowned slightly.
For some reason... seeing this scene, he suddenly felt something bad in his heart.
At his level, "premonition" is no longer just a "premonition".
Fortunately, he has mastered some spells of the prophet school.
A faint yellow halo suddenly flashed through the pupils of Nicholas II's spirit body - a hollow, metal clock pattern was seen engraved in his pupils.
This is the prophetic school spell that "Eye of Delay" taught Nicholas before, [Limited Precognition].
Its inventor is the "Eye of Delay" himself. Although it is only a silver-level instant spell, it can be used to peek into the short-term future——
——The above only happened in a short moment.
The next moment.
The moment Bernardino raised his head.
"[Both sides have a truce]!"
Nicholas II suddenly spoke up and reprimanded.
There was an indescribable sense of majesty in his orders.
The moment the words fell, they turned into substantial power.
Between Bernardino and Nicholas II, a transparent, crystal-like wall suddenly rose. The invisible repulsive force roared and pushed to both sides at the same time.
But only Bernardino's wheelchair was bounced away, while Nicholas II's spirit body was still floating in the air.
"——The lion's crown, abbreviated."
Nicholas II’s previously anxious voice instantly became calmer.
The wooden floor in front of him collapsed instantly. It turned into scorching quicksand that was constantly churning and shining with golden light.
The room became extremely dry in an instant. It's like the desert in the hot summer...even more cruel than that.
If an ordinary person were here, he would probably start to dehydrate in just three seconds; if he were a demon, he would suffer seven times the damage. If it lands in the sand, it will start burning in the blink of an eye.
——Because the quicksand refined by Nicholas II is actually the living desert in the east of the Yasselan continent that almost completely engulfed the elves and centaurs.
The reason why the demons did not reach Yasselan was not because they were kind... but because the demons could not cross that desert.
That was a real epochal disaster.
But Bernardino, who was swallowed up by the sea of sand and sank, and whose bandage began to turn yellow and spontaneously ignite, did not look panicked at all.
Seeing this, Nicholas II's expression darkened.
He raised his right hand again and began to chant quickly.
"...Shortly in front, Kubler's left eye. Slightly. Lily corolla. Slightly. Slightly. The moon-eating wolf should raise his head and look up——"
But his chant is not yet complete.
Because he was just stared at by Bernardino's shining right eye, Nicholas's spirit body suddenly froze.
How could it be? !
Even if the Spirit-bearing Monk has absolute suppression over the spirit body... he cannot do it so easily...
"Nicholas Flamel. I have one thing to explain to you, and that is your Philosopher's Stone...I have successfully completed it."
Bernardino said with a smile: "Because in the spirit body I carry, there is a person - he is your teacher, your adoptive father... the former master of the Jade Tower, Isaac Flamel Your Excellency."
Hearing this, Nicholas II's expression suddenly froze.
The next moment, the black Cyclops rose silently behind Bernardino.
Then countless black liquid feathers, like dripping oil, appeared out of thin air around Nicholas II, quickly gathered towards the center, and stuck to Nicholas II's spirit body piece by piece.
When the first feather touched him, Nicholas II suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
Just two or three seconds passed before he completely turned into a black stone sculpture, unable to move.
And when Bernardino was about to be completely engulfed.
The Cyclops behind him stretched out his hand and lifted him out easily.
The skin was burned to the point where the bones could be seen, but Bernardino did not panic at all.
Under the astonished gaze of Nicholas II, his skin emitted white smoke and healed quickly.
The exposed skin is soft and smooth. It is not as aged as before, but it is covered with dense tattoos.
Nicholas II could tell at a glance - it was filled with alchemical symbols directly inherited from the Jade Tower.
"This is the miracle you have created, Nicholas."
Bernardino chuckled and laughed out loud.
He reached out and pulled off the bandage on his face and stood up from the wheelchair.
I saw that the originally extremely aging face had returned to the age of less than thirty.
His brown curly hair is spread to his shoulders, and his deep gem eyes shine with confidence. But his face, neck - every part of his skin was engraved with refining formations.
When he saw the formation on his face, Nicholas II instantly recognized the truth of everything.
...He refined himself into the Philosopher's Stone? !
This is not the Philosopher's Stone of the Hermetic School at all...if you insist on saying so, it is just a half-finished product.
The liquid Philosopher's Stone, which is no more than 70% complete, is injected into the blood vessel ~IndoMTL.com~ to contain its power through the runes on his skin and continuously activate it.
"Immortality, infinite power of elements, the 'herd' of beasts gathered around me - now, I have reached the limit of a mortal!"
Bernardino laughed, looked at Nicholas II, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, Nicholas!"
Nicholas II suddenly felt that he could speak.
He said solemnly: "So, do you want to take away my spinal cord too?
"——As a thank you to me?"
"No, no, I just want you to...live a little clearer."
Bernardino had a mysterious smile on his face: "When you go back, remember to slit your wrists in the sun, and then read out a piece of mysterious knowledge about Mr. Yao."
"What——?!"
"Let me tell you a secret, Nicholas."
Bernardino interrupted Nicholas II.
When he spoke, it was as majestic as God’s pronouncement.
“——[You once killed innocent people in the royal capital];
“——[You once formed the Nicholas School];
"——[You once created digital demons]."
After hearing these three sentences, the younger Bernardino smiled slightly and waved.
The spirit body of Nicholas II slowly sank downwards and fell into the black mud.
But the next moment, he suddenly woke up.
When Nicholas opened his eyes from the chair.
...He suddenly felt his throat felt a little itchy.
"Where have you been?"
Father Shi's voice sounded behind him as always.
"I——"
But Nicholas opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
——You open your mouth, but nothing comes out.
At this moment, Nicholas realized the truth.
