"I wandered on the continent of Europa for seven years, learned a lot of new things, and also had the title of witch. Years of wandering made me regard learning as the only pleasure, and just when I thought this fun was over At that time, a special entrustment came to my door. It opened the door to a new world for me."

"This commission came from the king of East Franks, the future emperor of the Holy Roman Empire - Otto III. He hoped that I could refine a potion for him to prolong his life. It's a bit funny to say, I thought these bathed in Kings under the glory of God would choose something even more unreliable like the Holy Grail, I never thought they would be so rational, and they would all beg on me, a witch, in order to survive."

"It's just a consistent habit of the ruler. There's nothing to be surprised about? If anything, I'm even more surprised by this. You said he asked for you?"

Knowing the history of Europe, Zhou Yi didn't think that the so-called East Franks would be so polite when doing such things.as predicted.

"Of course it was an attitude of request. More than 30 knights and nearly a hundred archers were sent to surround the place where I live. He even said that in order to make me compromise, he even asked people to kill all the people in that village. I grabbed them and threatened me with a knife around their necks. This is the biggest scene I have seen in my 20 years of life, and it should not be an exaggeration to describe it as a request."

"As long as you like it."

Unable to tell that Gu Yi was still a joker, Zhou Yi could only shrug his shoulders and signal her to continue.

"At that time, I didn't have the ability to fight against the royal power. I couldn't beat those knights, nor could I watch so many innocent peasants die in front of me. So I can only compromise. However, although it is Compromise, but I can only tell Otto III the truth. That is, I will not make such a potion. In fact, I am even more curious about where he heard that there is such a potion that can prolong human life. The medicine exists."

"Otto III didn't hide from me about this matter. After all, as the only witch in Europe who is proficient in potions, I should be his only hope. He can't count on anyone else except me, so He could only tell me that he had heard of such things from merchants from the East."

"As the son of Smith Zhou, I think you know something about Europe before 1000 AD. When the Roman Empire was alive, it was brilliant, like a pearl. But when the Roman Empire fell, It's like falling into a latrine, becoming stupid and smelly. Those who have nothing but the glory of God in their eyes will notice the civilization from the East. This is simply God's mercy and opened them head."

"Oh, you can't say that. After all, it is the result of the most primitive desire of human beings. In order to live longer, even a pig knows how to work hard, doesn't it?"

It can be seen that Gu Yi has resentment in his heart, otherwise it would be impossible to say such ugly words at this time.However, Zhou Yi didn't come here specially to listen to her complaints.So, after drinking the tea in the cup in one gulp, he reminded Gu Yi.

"Master Ancient One, I need to remind you. Your story seems to be a bit off the main line. What I want to know is about Smith Zhou. It's not your past history, so can you speed up the progress a little?"

"Men are too impatient, but it will annoy women. As a senior sister, I think I should remind you of this. Besides." Shaking his head, Gu Yi immediately grinned. "Also, I don't think it's an insignificant thing. It's like in a role-playing game, a lot of side plots are needed to promote the main plot. Don't you think it's like me saying everything about the background of the story? Understood, will it be very substituting?"

"Not really." After a moment of silence, Zhou Yi still felt that he was telling the truth.And such an evaluation naturally ushered in the Mai Tai of Master Gu Yi.

"He really doesn't have a sense of humor. But forget it, the background of the story is almost here, and it's almost time to get to the point."

"Otto III's desire to prolong his life is urgent. In order to achieve this goal, he even arranged an operation full of flaws. He asked his five most trusted knights to lead me to the east. I hope that through the With my knowledge, I can find the mystery of the longevity medicine in the east."

"Unfortunately, the mere five knights could not possibly be the opponents of the Mamluks under the Bwehi dynasty. Just after they left Jerusalem, they had already died in the hands of those Mamluk knights one after another. In my hand. And I, because of magic protection, was lucky to escape. And with the gold gifted by Otto III, I came all the way to the destination at that time, the Palace of Wisdom in Baghdad."

"As the most complete academic institution in the world at that time, I mean without considering the Taixue of Eastern China. The Palace of Wisdom is definitely a paradise for every scholar who is interested in learning. It contains Persian, Indian, Greek manuscripts, involving astronomy, mathematics, natural science, medicine and other disciplines. It is even said that you can find traces of the only copies handed down from the library of Alexandria here, and even some records of magic and magic in the ancient Egyptian era The papyrus. I wanted to study there for a long time, but I didn’t expect that I could realize this wish because of Otto III. So from some perspectives, I am still very grateful to him.”

"Although the Buwehi dynasty is a usurper, they still respect scholars enough. So even if I am a woman, I still enjoy high treatment in the Palace of Wisdom, and it is there that I have seen more people who belong to The knowledge and secrets of this world itself. For a person who seeks knowledge as a hobby, you should understand how much enjoyment it is. Of course, while enjoying this kind of happiness, I have not forgotten my own job. After all, I am not worthy of the gold bestowed by Otto III."

"Under such circumstances, I began to inquire about the secrets of the elixir of longevity. And it was through such inquiries and contact that I got to know your father, the most mysterious mage in the Middle East."

The first thousand and 510 chapters three three trials regret life

"The Middle East world has been shrouded in the glory of their Allah. Except for those mages who are loyal to the Caliphate and the Buwehi Dynasty, ordinary mages who want to live safely can only remain anonymous. Your father does not intend to be loyal to the Caliphate and His Allah, so naturally, he can only hide his name according to the custom."

"He hid himself in the desert castle built by the old man in the mountains, where he studied the magic literature left over from the ancient Egyptian and Persian era. Because he has a profound attainment in the study of magic, and often uses some unpredictable The local people call him the Prophet because the spell solves the problems for the surrounding tribes."

"I have heard his reputation in the Wisdom Palace, and I also know that the legends about the elixir are all spread from him. In my opinion, since all the spearheads are pointed at him, no matter what, he should I just know some secrets about the elixir. So, after finishing my study in the Palace of Wisdom, I headed towards the desert and started looking for his traces."

"Thanks to Europa's cleaning of magic, the relationship between mages has become closer than before. Everyone knows the truth that one tree cannot support each other, so they will help each other. And it is because of their help , I found him without much effort, and made my request to him."

"I told him bluntly that I hope to learn how to make the elixir of longevity from him, and I am willing to pay enough for it. However, your father rejected me, saying that he did not intend to give the secret of the elixir of longevity to others. He Said that this method is harmful to nature and should not happen a second time, so he persuaded me to give up this idea."

"It's not like what he would say. Is it hurtful? This kind of excuse will only make people feel funny when it comes out of his mouth."

Zhou Yi commented coldly, obviously scoffing at Gu Yi's statement.Faced with his doubts, Gu Yi shook his head and said to him.

"People change. Maybe you see him like this today, but I saw him at the time, but he is definitely the same as I saw him. I know you have a lot of unbelief, but how many, listen I'll tell the story after I've finished."

Gu Yi has already said so, of course it is impossible for Zhou Yi to continue arguing.He could only silently refill himself a cup of tea, and then signaled to Gu Yi to let her continue.

"Where did the story go? By the way, he rejected me with such a reason. You know, I searched all the way from Europa for thousands of miles, how could I be dismissed just because of his words? What? So at that time, I had an idea and made a request to him, that is, I hope to learn from him by his side, even as an apprentice."

"It's very common for mages to learn from each other in Europa, otherwise I wouldn't be able to change from a Scottish wild girl to a well-known witch. To be honest, I really don't think anyone would refuse such a condition, Because if you have an experienced mage to help you, whether it is research or development projects, you will get twice the result with half the effort. However, he did not accept my condition at that time, but told me that he wanted to be his apprentice It’s not easy, at least not something that can be done with words.”

"He wanted to send me away, but it was impossible for me to leave so simply. I couldn't give up until I got what I wanted. So I showed the most tenacious spirit of a woman, facing him They stalked and fought."

"I pestered him for two full years before he finally let go and promised me a chance, and this chance was that he wanted me to complete his three tests."

These three tests must not be easy, because when Gu Yi said this, an unforgettable expression appeared on his face involuntarily.In fact, just as Zhou Yi thought, these three tests that Gu Yi experienced were not only difficult, but also deliberately made things difficult.

"The first test was to test my wisdom. He asked me to go deep into the desert, where I looked for the long-disappeared sphinx, and took a piece of flesh from his body."

"The sphinx is a mythical beast unique to the Egyptian God Realm. With the fall of the Egyptian gods, the gates of the God Realm to the human world have long been closed. There are no more sphinxes in this world. If you want to The only way to find them is to go to the God Realm. With my ability at the time, it was absolutely impossible. So I thought for a long time, and then I came to the edge of the Pyramid of Khufu. Facing the huge lion The face has cast the spell of flesh."

"It's not easy to turn a stone statue more than 20 meters high and 70 meters long into flesh and blood. However, I didn't intend to turn it into flesh and blood. I just changed its nose and made it into flesh and blood. Flesh and blood, and then just take it off. This is the first test, and I did it with the nose of the sphinx."

"And the second test is not so easy to deal with. He said he wanted to test my character, so he cast a spell to turn me into the image of a hideous old witch. He asked me to wear such an image. Heal the diseases of various tribes in the desert, and no matter what happens, they cannot resist. Only when I receive sincere thanks from ten people, can I be considered as having completed this test."

"This test is really terrible. You really can't imagine how terrible it is for a woman to wear such a hideous appearance. But thankfully, I persisted. Although I encountered many problems along the way, there were far more people who were afraid of me than people who loved me, and even said that many people were unwilling to let me say a word and planned to burn me alive. But I persisted until the end, and Completed the test of being sincerely thanked by ten people with a young couple."

"The second test is completed, and that guy seems to realize that I am not so easy to pass. So he personally prepared the third test for me. This test is a test of courage. Sealed all my magic power , turned me into an ordinary woman with no power to bind a chicken. Then put me on the border between Europa and the Middle East at that time."

"At that time, although the Crusades had not yet been launched, the friction between the two sides had already emerged. The border is definitely the most dangerous place. Because you have to face the knights of Europa or the cloth The cavalry of the Weixi dynasty. These rebellious soldiers are raging like wildfire, and what terrible things they can do without any moral constraints are beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

"To be honest, I was worried about falling into the hands of those rebels. So from the beginning I ran to a village and hid myself in an abandoned cellar. I was hungry and stole something to eat. When I was thirsty, I took advantage of the night to fetch water from the well in the village. I didn’t dare to reveal my whereabouts.”

"I know it seems cowardly. But you have to know that a woman without any ability can only make such a choice under such circumstances. The most important thing is to save her own life. As for the test or something , I can only wait until I have ensured my safety before I have time to think about it."

"Surviving, this is not only my first choice. It is also the choice of everyone living there. Once the chaos is over, some people are either killed or taken away. First are young and strong, then women, and finally even The elderly and children were not spared. The village where I lived was originally a prosperous place, but it became depressed and dilapidated in a short period of time. Except for some women and children, there are no other living people here. And even these women and children are just struggling to survive."

"Life is very hard, and I also know that I can no longer hide like this. So I started to stand out from the dark and use the name of a doctor to protect these women and children. The knowledge of druids allows me to Showing them where there is enough food in the desert, and the experience in potion science also allows me to relieve their pain as much as I can. It seems to be the most perfect situation to be able to fill their stomachs without suffering from pain. But I After all, it is impossible to help them resist the most terrifying thing, that is, the invasion of military disasters."

Speaking of this, even the ancient one who has gone through thousands of years of wind and frost, couldn't help showing a wry smile.

"Heretics, this is really the best name to use. As long as it is under the banner of eradicating heretics, then no matter whether they are Christians or Green believers, they can take the lives of others without any scruples, and they don't have to care about what they say. It doesn’t matter whether the person you kill is innocent or not. You don’t need to care about whether what you committed is a crime or not. As long as you peel off the human skin, you can turn into a naked beast.”

"I said this, and you should be able to understand what will happen next. Yes, we were targeted by a group of soldiers. For the sake of women and heads, they followed us closely like hyenas .Even if I tried my best, even going deep into the desert, I still couldn't get rid of their pursuit."

"In the end we were stuck in a desert grotto, and what happened there is really something I don't want to recall. Please forgive me, I don't want to go into details at that time, I can only tell you that I led Some people in the end were forced to pick up knives helplessly, and this is how I finally passed this test. I survived, but many people died. So until today I don’t really understand, is it worth it? worth."

"Maybe they shouldn't die. It's because of my appearance that they have to face all this. Maybe it's the opposite. It's my appearance that gave them new hope. I hope it's the latter, but I can't Convincing myself it must be the latter. That's my regret. But it's not all regrets, because thankfully, I passed all the tests to get that qualification."

The first thousand and 510 chapters and four chapters of the name of the supreme medicine of longevity

It can indeed be said that it is extremely difficult for Master Ancient One to obtain such a qualification.Looking at the study journey of mages in the world, I am afraid that there are few who can compare with her.But with such efforts, there are naturally comparable returns.Being able to worship under the disciple of a great mage like Chisongzi who has practiced for thousands of years is a blessing that most people can't imagine.

At the beginning, Gu Yi didn't know about this kind of thing, but as she got to know her more and more, she gradually discovered that she was an extraordinary teacher.And this is how she explained it.

"To be honest, at that time, I never thought that there would be such a knowledgeable person in the world. Whether it is the ancient Egyptian sacrificial magic, or the witchcraft spread from Persia, or even the farther east alchemy, he Almost all dabble. No, that is not what dabble can explain. It is more appropriate to describe it as proficiency or even mastery. It seems that he has reached the level of omniscience in this world composed of mysteries At that time, I even doubted whether he was the God in the sky or the incarnation of Allah in the world."

"However, I quickly broke this doubt and confirmed that he is a human being. Because in that era, I have never seen an existence that is more disrespectful to gods than him. There is no god in his eyes. , or in other words, the so-called gods in his eyes are the same as human beings in the eyes of gods, like pigs and dogs, like ants. This is something unbelievable in that era, even mages like us dare not have Such thoughts."

"I began to think that he was a devil, or simply the incarnation of a certain devil king in hell. Because I saw with my own eyes that he caught an angel, put him in a container, and refined him into the most primitive divinity alive. Essence. But when he used the same trick on a devil who was doing evil in the world, I dispelled this guess. Devils don’t kill themselves without reason, especially in that era of theocracy. So he It is definitely not a devil, and of course, he will not be a god. So, there is only one explanation left. That is, he is a human being, and he is probably the most powerful human being in my era."

This evaluation is very pertinent.Even in retrospect, Zhou Yi has to admit that Smith Zhou is indeed the most powerful existence among human beings.This kind of strength is not only in strength, but also in mind.Counting the entire history of mankind, I am afraid that there are few people who can compare with him in these two aspects.It is not completely unreasonable for Gu Yi to think that he is a god or a devil.

Of course, even though that's what he said, it doesn't mean that he will be honored because of this.They have already reached their point, do you still expect Zhou Yi to praise him?This is obviously unrealistic, so Zhou Yi immediately interrupted Gu Yi's words and interjected.
