Hearing these words, Kiki opened his mouth in surprise, and asked again after a long time: "Since there is an ancient tomb, why did the owner of this manor build a wine cellar on it?"

"Speaking of this, I have to praise the wisdom of human beings first. It's really... amazing." Moriarty raised his glass and said with emotion, "Of course the people who built this wine cellar didn't know There is a magic circle, and I don’t know what the magic circle is, he just noticed the abnormality here, and then found that he can use this abnormality to brew the most delicious wine.”

"But you clearly said that the magic circle will absorb the dark elements and damage people's lifespan!" Keech asked.

"But this process is not instant, it will take quite a long time to appear, and there is no need for him to send himself into the magic circle, humans are the best at using 'tools', aren't they?" Moriarty disagreed He said without sarcasm, "If you are interested, you can find someone to look up the history of this manor, and look at the people who work here, especially those who have been involved in winemaking, and see how old they can live If those things are not easy to check, it doesn't matter, you can also directly inquire about how many times the head of this family comes here every year, and how old the family members who guard here can live."

——I'm afraid Hill would like such a secret.

Such a thought flashed through Kiki's mind, but after thinking about it, Kiki didn't ask, and instead said, "That is to say, that magic circle can only produce dark elemental essence? Is it possible to make this magic Modify the formation to create other types of elemental essence, or condense the dark elemental essence into a magic core?"

"Just tell me, why don't you just want to know how to make a magic core?" Moriarty said jokingly, and then continued without waiting for Keech to argue, "However, I won't make a magic core." The principle of this magic circle is shown to you, and I can only use it to make a deal with you."

Keech looked at Moriarty suspiciously, waiting for him to reveal the answer himself.

"Don't explore that magic circle anymore, and don't reveal its existence to anyone, just let it sleep underground forever, forever." Moriarty said in a rare and solemn voice, "In exchange, I will tell you an easier way to make a magic core."

Keech tilted his head, completely numb to Moriarty's mystifying attitude.

"It's actually really simple. You've already thought of using the method of 'infusion', why can't you think a little more and try 'fusion'?" Moriarty still didn't give a direct answer.

Kiki suddenly realized, "You mean, fuse several low-level magic cores into one high-level magic core?"

Moriarty smiled and said nothing.

Keech deduced it, and immediately decided that this method was feasible, and it was very simple to him, even too simple, and its value was not worthy of the magic circle under the wine cellar.

After a moment of hesitation, Kitsch pouted, "Is this what you're going to use to get rid of me?"

"Why, I've told you how to make a high-level magic core, and you're still not satisfied?" Moriarty asked back with a smile.

"At least tell me why the magic core I made by myself is so weak." Keech asked, "Isn't it because the dark element cannot condense the magic core?"

"Of course not." Moriarty shook his head with a smile, "You will fail because the key to condensing the magic core is not elements, but time - only after the baptism of time can elements grow into elemental essences, gather Inside the magic core."

"Must?" Keech asked dejectedly.

"Must." Moriarty nodded sincerely, "Unless you can control time like me and speed up the flow of time."

"Okay, don't show off your power to me." Kiki curled his lips, and immediately asked unwillingly, "No, I went to a place not long ago, where there is a magician who can make magic cores by himself! "

"Isn't it the Chimera in the Riftlands! Oh, it's called the Abyss of Nightmare now." Moriarty took a sip of the rose blood in the cup and continued, "You only know that he created the magic core, but Do you know how long it took him to create those magic cores? Do you know how old he was when he died? Do you know how many years the high-level monsters there have lived in the abyss?"

"……do not know."

"Believe it or not, even a basic magic core will take decades to condense into shape, and it will take at least thousands of years to condense the high-level magic core you are interested in by relying on natural forces." Moriarty sighed and said, "Don't think it's worthless just because you found so many magic cores in the mage tower of your old man. He is just as opportunistic as you. Understand, the most expensive magic core in the world It is time, and the magic core happens to be the product of time."

"I'm really...a descendant of the Chimera family?" Hearing Moriarty's sigh, Keech remembered the touch he felt when he saw the fusion of blood beads in the stone tower.

"You've verified this, haven't you?" Moriarty asked with a slight smile.

Keech didn't answer, quietly reminiscing about the feeling at that moment, but soon remembered that there were more important things to ask right now, and quickly raised his head and said: "Even if the magic core is not easy to make, there is still a way. It just takes a lot of time, doesn't it?"

"Yes." Moriarty nodded honestly, "What else do you want to ask?"

"The method of making a magic core." Kiki said, "Although there is no such thing in the stone tower, you must know it, don't you?"

"I admit, I know." Moriarty raised his glass with a smile, drank the rose blood in it, and then said jokingly, "But I don't want to tell you, and I don't need to tell you, he is you. Your ancestors, and you have already obtained the key to find the treasure, so use your brains and find the secret by yourself!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Kiki to ask any more questions, Moriarty put down his wine glass, disappeared in front of Kiki in a flash.

- Playing mysteries again!

Kiki pursed his mouth in depression, but soon let out a long breath, unconsciously feeling a sense of relief.

——Moriarty is not something he can kill with a dagger.

Keech had a rare moment of emotion, and then put away the wild thoughts in his mind, grabbed a chair, sat by the table, dug out all his magic cores, and piled them on the table.

However, these magic cores did not add up to ten yuan. The only intermediate magic core was fed to the monkey by Amir, and he could not move it for the time being.Kiki rummaged through it, picked out two water magic cores and held them in his hands, closed his eyes, and began to use the power.

This time it went really well, the shells of the two magic cores obediently opened the door to each other, and then merged together to re-wrap each other's elemental essence.

After some trimming, the fused magic core was completely finalized, but neither the size nor the concentration of elemental essence could reach the standard of an intermediate magic core, but it was slightly better than an ordinary primary magic core.

——It seems that only two magic cores are far from enough. If you want to melt high-level magic cores according to this ratio, you may not be able to melt ten of them.

Kiki was thinking about it, but he didn't intend to continue the experiment. He put all the magic cores in his pocket with his hands, and then turned and went into the bedroom.

He got rid of a few worries in one breath, and now he just wants to sleep peacefully.

Kiki didn't know how long he had slept this time, and when he opened his eyes again, the sky outside the window was already bright, but he couldn't see the sun while lying on the bed, and couldn't tell whether it was morning or afternoon.

Keech didn't bother to confirm, stretched lazily, then got up from the bed, went to the living room and pulled the rope bell, called the servants in the manor, and asked him to bring a lunch or dinner.

"It's lunch, sir, and it's still early for dinner." The valet bowed to Keech with a smile, and exited his room.

Kitsch pouted, not paying attention to the manservant's ridicule, and turned to go to the bathroom, ready to take a shower before eating.

While soaking comfortably in the warm water, there was a knock on the door, apparently a servant brought dinner.

Kiki didn't get up before soaking enough, and directly used his ability to unlock the door, and then used the wind element to send his voice to the living room, "Just put it on the table."

The person who came in did not respond, but soon there was the sound of tableware being placed.

Kiki didn't say any more, closed his eyes, leaned back against the wall of the pool, and continued to enjoy the pleasant feeling of being soaked in warm water.

It didn't take long before footsteps came from outside the bathroom, as if the servants who delivered the food came over.

"You can leave." Keech replied without thinking.

But the visitor didn't turn around, instead he opened the bathroom door and continued to walk in.

——You don’t come here to ask for a reward, do you?

Keech thought unhappily.He has no money at all, not even a single copper coin.

Kiki was about to drive him away, but before he could open his eyes and turn around, a pair of arms stretched out from behind, hugging him into a hot chest, followed by a familiar breath and a low sound Dumb call.

"Kiki."

Hearing this voice, Kiki froze immediately, and even stopped his head where he wanted to turn around.

"Kiki." The owner of the voice called out his name again, and took the initiative to turn his body so that his eyes met his own.

——Why is Hill here?

Keech stared blankly at the man in front of him whom he hadn't seen for several months, his mind went blank.

He is already a real man. Although it has been less than half a year since we met last time, his face and expression are obviously mature, and he even has the indifference and calmness that only a man of Amir's age can possess. .

"Kiki." Hill stared into Kiki's eyes, continued to call his name, and stroked his face, then quickly lowered his head and kissed his lips.

Keech didn't refuse, and couldn't refuse.

He misses him, with heart and body.

At the moment when his lips touched, Kiki finally stretched out his hand uncontrollably, wrapped his arms around Hill's neck, and deepened the kiss.

Hill didn't speak anymore, just hugged Kiki tightly, and while continuing the intense and sticky kiss, he pulled him up from the pool.

Finally, Kiki pushed Hill away panting, raised his head, and stared at him intently.

Both of them saw each other's desires in each other's eyes. At this moment, needs and integration are the main theme. The male instinct has overwhelmed the grievances of human nature, driving the two to forget everything and enjoy the present.

Keech was naked, but Hill was still wearing clothes, so he stretched out his hand, unbuttoned his clothes, and peeled off the extra things from his body one by one.

Keech didn't help, just stood there silently, waiting.

Hill quickly completed the transformation, exposing his expectations and desires to Keech through his body.

It wasn't until this moment that Kiki stretched out his hand, put his arms around Hill's neck again, and sent a new round of passionate kisses, and everything he wanted.

What happened next was more like a war, but when the smoke cleared, no one was victorious.

Hill hugged Kiki, who had only breath left, lying on the slightly cool floor, and also lost the strength to continue this war.

Looking at the face in his arms that he was so attached to but extremely entangled in, Hill couldn't help but raised his hand, and gently stroked Kiki's delicate and fair cheeks.

Feeling Hill's touch, Kiki raised his eyelids and looked sideways at him.

Hill didn't speak, and continued his caress intently, as if he was enjoying an ancient porcelain from the East.

Keech couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?"

"I come over every weekend, spend a night here, drink a glass of rose blood, and then miss you." Hill replied in his soft voice, "and today, as soon as I come, Shaner tells me You are here too."

——Is today the weekend?

Keech flinched slightly.When he was with Amir, he didn't even pay much attention to the month, how could he remember the day of the week.

"Kiki." Seeing that the topic had been opened, Hill didn't stay silent anymore, and asked bluntly, "Are you really unwilling to come back to me?"

Keech didn't answer immediately, but lowered his eyelids, and after a while he made up his mind and said: "...If you kill Likki, I will consider forgiving you."

"Kiki." Hill sighed, "I can't do that, she's your sister, my...fiancée."

"I don't think of her as my sister for a long time, and you don't need to use this as a prevarication!" Kiki propped himself up angrily, walked away from Hill, and asked gritted his teeth, "What exactly do you want from her? Don't you understand that whatever she has, I can give you more?"

"Kiki." Hill sighed again, raised his hand, and touched Kiki's face again, "She can give me a child."

Hearing this sentence, Kiki opened his mouth, but couldn't utter any more sound. He could only twitch the corners of his mouth in a self-deprecating manner, lowered his head, and looked at his body that could not give birth to children.

"I'm sorry, Kitsch." Hill also sat up, stretched out his hand, seemed to want to hug Kitsch, but hesitated for a moment, finally retracted his hand, took a deep breath, and said as tactfully as possible, "I I came to see you just to say sorry to you, I don't ask you to forgive me, but if possible, I hope we can continue to be friends, ordinary friends..."

"Get lost!" Keech interrupted Hill's unconvincing explanation without looking up.

"Kiki..."

"Get out!" Kiki said coldly, "Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

Hill was startled by the murderous intent in Kidge's voice, hesitated to speak, but finally did not try to disobey, stood up silently, picked up the clothes on the ground, and walked out of the bathroom.

Keech still hung his head down, sitting motionless on the floor until Hill left the room and closed the door outside the living room, then he tilted and fell on the cold floor of the bathroom.
