Chapter 854 Duke’s Alchemy

I hesitated and thought about retreating.

Compared with a real hero like Lothar, Duke felt ashamed.

His name as a legendary hero is more like a blasphemy against the word 'hero'.

It has nothing to do with track record, it is purely a difference in ideological realm.

Duke plucked up the courage to propose: "Yes, Anduin, in fact, you may also know that whether the high elves or their original ancestors, the night elves, their longevity actually comes from the blessing of the dragon clan. To be precise, It's a blessing from Nozdormu."

Lothar half-squinted his eyes. He seemed to have thought of what Duke was going to say. He waved his hand gently to stop Duke before he could say anything.

"Maybe creatures will instinctively pursue the so-called longevity, immortality, or even immortality. But I don't think that too long time is a good thing for a creature. Look at those high elves, even if they don't have endless lifespans, What have they done in these thousands of years? They have become corrupted because of emptiness, and they have imprisoned their own and even the minds of all their compatriots because of their lack of ambition. In nearly seven thousand years, how has the entire country of Quel'Thalas progressed? Too much?"

What Lothar said made sense, but Duke was speechless.

"It is precisely because of the short life of human beings that we cherish life. Human beings will seize the most brilliant and glorious years of life, invent, create, and use it to do various valuable things. Look, in my life When I was young, the whole world only knew swords and magic.”

Then Lothar pointed his finger at Duke's eyebrows: "However, the thermal weapons and steam civilization that you have promoted have subverted the lives of the people in the entire Stormwind Kingdom in the past thirteen years. If it weren't for the existence of extraordinary professionals, if it weren't for Cannons cannot destroy the undead and demons. There is no need for the long sword and the holy light. Think about it, isn't this a miracle created by mankind?"

Duke's breathing suddenly became rapid. He waited, eager to hear Lothar's last words.

Sure enough, Anduin Lothar, a name with sacred meaning and the greatest words left by the greatest man in this era, did not disappoint Duke.

Then the words are:

"Life is great because it is short, and life is brilliant because it is limited!"

Like an enlightenment, like pouring ice water on a hot day, Duke was so shocked that he couldn't help himself.

Duke suddenly understood why Lothar would choose not to marry for the rest of his life, and would rather let the noble and great Arathi bloodline end with his generation. It was because of the formation of a more inclusive and greater alliance that Lothar believed that there was no need for the bloodline of Emperor Thoradin to continue to exist.

I suddenly want to cry.

But I can’t cry!

Lothar left, leaving Duke alone, staring silently into the distance in the wind.

The night was getting darker, and at some point, Ilucia came to Duke's side.

"It's getting late, let's rest. If the soldiers below see you looking melancholy, they will also doubt the future."

"Um."

In the past ten years, in order to avoid irritating Lordaeron, the Barov family has not sent any descendants to hold important positions in Nanhai City. However, as the former lords of Nanhai Town, the influence of the Barov family is everywhere, and they are the de facto masters of the Nanhai city-state.

Therefore, on the west hill of Nanhai City, the Barov family owns an independent villa.

After following Ilucia to this so-called resting place, Duke was shocked to find that the style of this villa was completely modeled after the villa on the edge of Fengxing Lake where he often stayed.

Not only the appearance, but also the contents inside, except those that are extremely valuable and cannot be copied, are all arranged exactly the same. The master bedroom was decorated according to Duke's bedroom in Karazhan.

Obviously, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

What's more important is that many things in the villa have obvious Fengxing style, which are traces left by the two mistresses of Fengxing Lake Villa. Even many very small details were discovered and imitated by her. . If Ilucia was a jealous or petty woman, she would never do this.

What is intention?

This is the intention!

Duke suddenly sighed, Ilucia was too kind to him.

He has been missing for ten years, and Ilucia has supported the operation of the entire Marcus family without any regrets, ensuring that his policies and plans can continue to be implemented, and even supporting his so-called fiancée Jaina.

When he first came back and his magic circuit was disordered, he did not hesitate to divide his soul and donate his magic circuit to help him overcome the difficulties.

When he rushed to Dalaran to besiege Arthas for the first time, Ilucia endured the pain of his soul and rushed back to Stormwind City to organize the logistics supplies for the army.

The eldest lady of the Barov family, who once almost completely ruined her family, silently shouldered a lot with her feminine body and weak shoulders...

However, she had never been jealous of Alleria and Vereesa in the slightest. She put herself in a lowly position and did all this silently.

"Ilucia?"

"Huh!?" Ilucia, who was nervously tugging at the hem of her skirt, wondering if Duke liked it, was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses.

"While I'm back, I'll fix your magic circuit first."

"No, I...you have a big battle coming soon, you need it even more..."

It was obvious that Ilucia had misunderstood.

Duke didn't say anything, just pressed his lips to hers deeply.

"Hmm... um..." The anxious woman's heart suddenly calmed down.

Duke smiled: "Don't you think that regaining the magic circuit will make it easier to open a portal to find me?"

Ilucia's face turned red in an instant. From her cheeks to her neck, to her collarbone, and to her half-exposed peaks, everything was a bright crimson: "Actually...I didn't mean to hold you back today...but when I think of me I haven’t really gotten you yet, and I might lose you soon, and I’m suddenly very scared.”

Duke breathed next to Ilucia's sensitive ear: "Today, in addition to completing your magic circuit, I also want to help teach you an alchemy technique."

alchemy?

When did Duke learn this stuff?

Or is it what Duke learned in Karazhan over the past ten years?

Duke added in a low voice: "It is the most mysterious human alchemy in the world!"

What?

The human body is amazing.

It is composed of 45% to 75% water, about 8% blood, 35% to 40% bones, and some protein, fat, and muscle.

The specific method is to first purify the mother body, usually just wash it, and then draw a magic circle with your fingers. Generally, focus on attacking important parts and wait for the mother body to heat up. Finally, the most important step is to pull out the long sword needed to summon life. , stabbed it into the center of the magic circle, and repeatedly used straight thrusts, left and right thrusts, and circular thrusts until the light of life burst out from the sword's edge.

Well, there’s a chance to complete Human Alchemy in ten months!
