Chapter 204: Holy Grail Juice, Pour

"How do you know?"

Asklepios showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, but then he corrected himself seriously.

"In fact, it is not true immortality. It is just that the dead who died in a short period of time and whose souls have not yet left their bodies can deceive the eyes of the god of death and regain vitality. In this process, the corpse must meet various conditions. For example, the time after death, the state of the corpse, etc...."

As he said, the future god of medicine took out two bottles of blood samples received from Stheno and Euryale last night, and shook his head with some regret.

"Unfortunately, the Gorgon blood in my hand can only give the immortality of the gods to mortals. If I can get the [Golden Apple] that contains the [Immortal Divinity] in the legend, perhaps this thing can be improved. It can bring back the dead in the true sense."

"You want to change it? Come in!"

Lorne's scalp was a little numb, and he dragged Asclepius outside the door into the small dark room without saying anything, and laid out a series of defensive spells inside and outside. Then he turned around and glared at the future god of medicine with a dark face.

"Do you know that you are about to face a disaster!"

"What?"

"The boundary between life and death is not a field that mortals can touch? What you have done has trampled on the laws of the underworld!"

"I am a doctor, saving the dying and healing the wounded is my duty..."

Asclepius frowned and answered seriously.

However, before he finished speaking, Loen rudely interrupted Asclepius's self-defense.

"So what? Why can only gods be immortal, only the main gods can be immortal? Have you never thought about it?"

"..."Asclepius looked confused.

"Because the power of the gods is born out of fear and is strong because of awe. Death is the greatest punishment for life and their most important weapon. You let mortals no longer fear this result. The gods whose faith has been shaken will find you sooner or later!"

Loen reminded coldly, and at the same time seriously asked about the specific situation of the immortal medicine.

Compared with the bottles and jars in the infirmary, these are the real dangerous goods!

If we don't eliminate the hidden dangers as soon as possible while the underworld is in chaos, the consequences will be disastrous once this bomb is detonated.

Soon, with Asclepius's truthful answer, Lorne's luck was gradually extinguished.

The elixir of immortality did not just appear, but was already in its infancy by Asclepius three months ago.

At that time, he had just escaped from Ares's pursuit on the island of Cyprus and fled all the way to Athens. With the introduction of Chiron, he entered the Academy of Athens and became a medical teacher.

During this period, Asclepius went out by chance and fell into meditation for the treatment of the disease. A venomous snake quietly coiled around his cane. He subconsciously killed the snake, but another venomous snake appeared at this time, holding the herb in its mouth, so that the first dead snake could be resurrected.

Such a wonderful phenomenon gave him the inspiration to create the elixir of immortality.

So, Asclepius, who returned to Athens, asked Medusa, the goddess of snakes in the Great Temple, for a piece of Gorgon blood with the divinity of snakes.

Medusa agreed decisively when she learned that Asclepius wanted to use this to prepare a new medicine to cure diseases and save lives.

After a period of patient research, this gifted future god of medicine really prepared a magic potion that can bring mortals back to life!

So far, he has put more than 30 elixirs into use.

Although more than 30 lives have been saved, it also left a huge hidden danger.

Such a large-scale reversal of life and death would be almost impossible to conceal if the Hades happened to be in turmoil and the God of Death was kidnapped by Sisyphus.

Thinking of this, Loen's heart was shocked, and his eyes looked in the direction of the city-state of Corinth, his eyes flickered.

Perhaps, the trouble has already come...

The imbalance of life and death in the Hades is probably not only due to the kidnapping of the God of Death, but also the system BUG caused by the abuse of the elixir.

Therefore, Hades authorized Hecate to personally go to the surface to find out the specific reason.

The goddess of the underworld came straight to Athens from the sea. I'm afraid that in addition to capturing Circe to take over, the changes in the imbalance of life and death on this land also attracted her.

However, in order to save Circe, Loen sold Sisyphus first, allowing the culprit who kidnapped the god of death to take a bullet for Asclepius, who developed the elixir of immortality.

But he might not be so lucky next time.

It is almost impossible not to attract any attention after more than 30 doses of elixir of immortality were sprinkled.

When Sisyphus was thrown into the underworld to push stones, the god of death Thanatos returned to his post. Sooner or later, he would detect the abnormality of Athens through the death list of [Destiny Loom] and lock on Asclepius who violated the taboo.

And the final outcome was that Zeus personally took action and killed Asclepius with thunder!

Now, it was a big trouble...

Anticipating the series of consequences, Loen had a headache and immediately reached forward with a dark face.

"Where are the medicines? Hand them over as much as you have!"

"Sorry, I can't do that. I need them to save people."

Asclepius shook his head and refused, holding the bag tightly with caution.

Lorne was furious when he saw Asclepius's reaction, and walked forward with a gloomy face and a cold snort.

"Then I will destroy them!"

"It's useless. The prescription is in my mind. As long as the raw materials and hands and feet are still there, I can still mix new immortality drugs and use them to treat diseases and save people."

"You are going to die!"

"I am a doctor. It is my duty to treat diseases and save people..."

Asclepius answered seriously, and his calm eyes did not stir up the slightest ripples because of the problem of life and death.

"If I have to choose between my professional ethics and the will of the gods, I would rather go against the latter."

The almost stubborn stubbornness made Loen think of Apollo who confronted Zeus in the Great Temple.

The father and son are both stubborn and unrepentant in their bones!

"If you are worried about involving Athens, I will leave."

Asclepius picked up the bag and prepared to clean up the bottles and jars on the shelf.

Loen snatched the bag from his nephew and frowned.

"Stop right there! Where can you go besides here?"

"Cyprus..."

Asclepius pointed to the bag and answered truthfully.

"There is an invitation from the royal family in it. Their prince Adonis died a few days ago for some reason, but someone couldn't accept this fact and wanted to entrust me to treat him and bring him back to life. This is actually the reason why I developed the [Immortality Elixir]."

"Can you save him?"

"It's hard to say. He has been dead for too long and his soul has left his body. Even if someone has preserved his intact body with special methods, it is difficult to bring him back to life. What's more, the current immortality elixir is not perfect. It is even more difficult to revive a dead god."

Asclepius shook his head and answered honestly.

"But, they should take me in."

After listening carefully, Loen's eyes flickered faintly. He took out the invitation from the bag, stuffed it into his arms, and then reached forward.

"Give me the immortality potion. I'm going to Cyprus."

Seeing the strange behavior of the other party, Asclepius frowned and hesitated.

At this time, Loen didn't waste any words, twisted his body, and turned into a blind old man in cloth.

"It's you!"

The moment he saw the appearance of the other party, Asclepius couldn't help showing a trace of surprise on his face.

The person in front of him was the blind poet Homer who blocked the pursuit for him on the island of Cyprus.

Based on the trust in the past, Asclepius no longer hesitated and handed a portion of immortality potion to the lifesaver in front of him.

Loen took the immortality potion, then wrote a letter with the existing paper and pen, and threw it to Asclepius.

"Say goodbye for me, and give this to Hestia by the way, see if she can help."

"You don't..."

Asclepius wanted to ask, but thinking of the recent kitchen tragedy, he understood something in an instant, and didn't say much.

Then, Lorne looked at Asclepius in front of him for a long time, hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out his left hand and held it forward, took out the golden holy cup from the magic circle, and hung his right hand above the holy cup. His clenched five fingers pierced his palm, and a strand of golden blood dripped into the holy cup.

At the same time, a halo appeared behind him, and the green grape vines in the center spread and intertwined, reaching into the golden cup.

Then, the purple-red nectar filled the golden cup, and the rich aroma of wine filled the infirmary, exuding an intoxicating fragrance.

After doing all this, Lorne raised the cup forward: "Drink it, this wine is my blood, I will make a covenant with you here, and I will do my best to ensure your safety."

Asclepius did not doubt him, picked up the golden wine cup, and drank it happily.

After drinking, the sweet wine flowed through his limbs and bones, and there seemed to be some kind of mysterious connection between the blood.

"Good wine!"

Asclepius gave a heartfelt compliment and returned the golden cup.

Lorne used his fingers to draw a few Hermetic lines, sealed the Holy Grail, glanced at Asclepius, and snorted unhappily.

"Don't be too happy too soon. To be honest, this method is just my idea. I haven't tried it yet. I don't know if it can save your life."

Although he said so, Asclepius heard a touch of genuine concern from it and bowed his head to the man in front of him sincerely.

"Thank you anyway..."

"No need to thank me. I'm not helping you for nothing. Everyone gets what they need."

Lorne waved his hand expressionlessly, and then after hearing a noisy sound coming from the wooden house on the top of the mountain, he took the bag where Asclepius hid the elixir while he was not prepared, and turned around and rushed out of the infirmary.

"Remember! Don't think about your [Immortality Elixir] until I come back!"

Looking at the lifesaver who had snatched his things and left in a cloud of dust, and the goddess of the hearth who came straight to the infirmary with two kitchen knives on the mountain, Asclepius was speechless for a moment, holding the farewell letter in his hand.

Why did he feel like he was being cheated?
