Chapter 406 The Immortal Person
"In the palace, is it your fault?"
Nicholas II's spiritual body frowned: "In order to get the bone marrow of the wizard, you rushed to the palace to kill?
"...I'm starting to regret it now."
"Regret what?"
"I regret not giving you the technology of the Sage's Stone."
Nicholas II glared at Bernardino in dissatisfaction.
He did not expect that Bernardino would do such an outrageous thing.
To put it in a bad way... There are so many dark wizards in the capital, can't you just kill one of them?
Even if the spinal cord of better quality is required, there is not an extraordinary person who does not have a silver rank in the capital.
The Sage's Stone made by the silver-level extraordinary person has been completely enough for seven or eight times. The length of each use reaches the standard combat length of five minutes-do you have to resort to the extremely bloody method of entering the palace and directly extracting the spine?
"I don't even know what you will do with the Sage's Stone after you have successfully created it."
The white-haired young spirit body frowned tightly, floated forward a few steps, 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 deal with the corpse? It's really not good, can you take the whole corpse away? Why leave a corpse without a spine?"
This time I'm afraid I'm going to get into trouble.
I don't know if I will be imprisoned...or it may be directly executed by Father Shi.
After all, strictly speaking, he can even be regarded as a "re-education prisoner".
When he came here, he was not allowed to contact anyone.
And after he taught Bernardino how to make the "Hermesian Sage Stone", the stinky old man immediately backstabbed him...
After he even took the opponent's spine, he didn't even destroy the body!
Isn't this intentional to let clues find you?
Bernardino just smiled.
The old man in the wheelchair said unhurriedly, "I just need to use it to continue my life... that's all."
"The 'Sage's Stone' is the perfect essence of the elements, the greatest and greatest thing in the world. Even if it is not fully manufactured, it can completely change a person's destiny."
Nicholas II emphasized: "You don't use it just as a tool or as a potion."
"No, no, Nicholas."
The old man laughed in a low voice and whispered happily and contentedly: "Of course I wouldn't use it as a tool.
"—because it will be my blood, my fuel, my heart, my life, everything I hold dear...and the beginning of my destiny."
Bernardino said slowly, looking up from the wheelchair.
Hearing this, Nicholas II frowned slightly.
For some reason... Seeing this scene, he suddenly felt a little bad in his heart.
At his level, "premonition" is not a simple "premonition".
Fortunately, he has also mastered some spells of the prophetic school.
Under the pupil of Nicholas II's spirit body, a faint yellow halo suddenly flashed - I saw a hollow, metal clock pattern engraved in his pupil.
This is the prophetic school spell previously taught to Nicholas by the Eye of Lag, [Limited Foreknowledge].
Its inventor is the "Eye of Delay" himself. Although it is only a silver-level instant spell, it can be used to peep into the short-term future——
——The above only happened in a short moment.
next moment.
Just as Bernardino raised his head.
"[Both sides truce]!"
Nicholas II suddenly rebuked.
There was an indescribable sense of majesty in his edict.
The moment the words fall, they are transformed into substantive power.
Between Bernardino and Nicholas II, a transparent, crystal-like wall suddenly rises. The invisible repulsive force roared and pushed to both sides at the same time.
But only Bernardino's wheelchair was ejected, while Nicholas II's spirit body was still floating in the air.
"—The lion's crown, omitted later."
Nicholas II's previously anxious voice instantly calmed down.
The wooden floor in front of him collapsed in an instant. It turned into scorching quicksand that was constantly surging, shining with brilliant golden brilliance.
In an instant, the room became extremely dry. It's like a desert under a hot summer day... even more cruel than that.
If ordinary people are here, I am afraid that they will start to dehydrate after only three seconds; if it is a demon, they will suffer seven times the damage. Land in the sand and it will start to burn in the blink of an eye.
——Because these quicksands refined by Nicholas II are actually the living desert in the east of Atherland Continent, that almost completely engulfed the elves and centaurs.
The demons didn't reach Atheran, not because they were kind... but because the demons couldn't get across that desert either.
That was a real disaster of the era.
But Bernardino, who was swallowed and sank by the sand sea, and the bandages began to turn yellow and spontaneously ignite, did not look flustered at all.
Seeing this, Nicholas II's face sank.
He raised his right hand again and began to chant quickly.
"...Slightly ahead, Kubler's left eye. Slightly. Lily wreath. Slightly. Slightly. The wolf that eats the moon should look up-"
But his chant is not yet finished.
Because he was just stared at by Bernardino's shining right eye, Nicholas' spirit body suddenly froze.
……how come? !
Even if Chengling Monk has absolute repressive power over spiritual bodies... but he can't 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 my spiritual body, there is a person - he is your teacher, your adoptive father... The former owner of the jade tower, His Excellency Isaac Flamel. "
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, emerged out of thin air from the side of Nicholas II, and quickly gathered towards the center, sticking to Nicholas II's spiritual body piece by piece.
Nicholas II suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness when the first feather was attached to him.
In just two or three seconds, 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 didn't panic.
Under the astonished gaze of Nicholas II, his skin was emitting white smoke and quickly healed.
The exposed skin was soft and smooth, not as old as before, but with dense tattoos on it.
Nicholas II can see it at a glance - it is full of alchemy symbols that are directly inherited from the Jade Pagoda.
"This is your miracle, Nicholas."
Bernardino laughed and laughed out loud.
He reached out and pulled the bandage off his face and stood up from the wheelchair.
I saw that the face that was incomparably aged had recovered to the age of less than 30.
His tan curls fell to his shoulders, and his deep jeweled eyes sparkled with confidence. It's just that his face, neck—every part of his skin is engraved with formation formations.
Seeing the formation on his face, Nicholas II instantly recognized the truth of everything.
...He refined himself into a sage's stone? !
This is not the Sage's Stone of the Hermetic School at all... If I insist, it is only a half-finished product.
It is to inject the liquid sage stone with a completion degree of no more than 70% into the blood vessels, and use the runes on his skin to contain its power and continuously activate it.
"Immortal, the power of infinite elements, the 'herd' gathered around me - now, I have reached the limit of mortals!"
Bernardino laughed and looked at Nicholas II with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you for this, Nicholas!"
Nicholas II suddenly felt able to speak.
He said solemnly, "So, do you want to take away my spinal cord as well?
"—as a thank you to me?"
"No no, I just want you to... live a little more sober."
Bernardino had a mysterious smile on his face: "After you go back, remember to cut your wrist in the sun, and then read out a mysterious piece of knowledge about Mr. Yao."
"Varied--?!"
"Let me tell you a secret, Nicholas."
Bernardino interrupted Nicholas II.
He opened his mouth with the majesty of God's judgment.
"—[You once killed innocents indiscriminately in the capital];
"—[You once formed the Nicholas School];
"—[You once created digital demons]."
After hearing these three sentences, the younger Bernardino smiled and waved his hand.
Nicholas II's spiritual body slowly sank down 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 a tickling in his throat.
"where did you go?"
Father Shi's voice sounded behind him as always.
"I--"
But Nicholas opened his mouth, but said nothing.
- He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
At this moment, Nicholas realized all the truth.
