Chapter 102

“Please continue,” Li Xingshan said quickly, “Anyway, we still have one night.”

“The elves are a very long-lived race, and the number of ethnic groups is also very rare. I have seen death many times, and the more times I see it, the more I am afraid. No matter how long the lifespan, death is still everywhere. inevitable.”

“So, I began to travel around the world, looking for ways to gain immortality. However, there was hardly any gain, until one day, I arrived in the then-undestroyed kingdom of Canria, and made a friend there.”

“Her name is Reindort, and she is a very powerful alchemist. I had some academic exchanges with her and asked her about the possibility of immortality.”

“Unfortunately, even such a great alchemist can’t give people immortality. However, she told me that the meaning of life lies in inheritance, not eternity. The continuation of life is another form of immortality. When you When you pass on your life, you may no longer be attached to ‘eternal life’.”

“But at that time, I put forward a very naive idea – even if I have a child, she will die one day. If she has no descendants, she still can’t achieve immortality, right?”

“So, Reindot told me a bold idea. She made a very significant breakthrough in alchemy at that time. By the way, you are also an alchemist. You should know the four stages of alchemy. ?”

Alice’s sudden question interrupted the rhythm of the story, but as an alchemist, Li Xingshan still blurted out: “Of course, the four stages of alchemy are black soil, chalk, redness… and gold. .”

Black soil is the beginning of everything, the source, the raw material.

Chalk, the beginning of change, pulls away impurities and retains its essence.

Chicheng is to refine the essence and shape it.

Gold is the final stage, turning worthless black soil into valuable gold is the miracle of alchemy.

It is worth mentioning that although sugar has been researching biological alchemy, and has already achieved quite a lot.

But her research is still in the “black soil” stage. Even though she can “create” some life, these life forms have huge defects, that is, they cannot grow or reproduce offspring, and life is extremely short.

“Unlike alchemy in other countries, Kanria’s alchemy does not focus on dead things, but on living things, that is, biological alchemy,” Alice nodded and said:

“At that time, in the field of biological alchemy, Rhinedot had broken through the stage of black soil and reached the stage of chalk. She used the only precious materials to create two ‘eggs’, and when refining one of them, she injected my genes.”

Li Xingshan seemed to understand, and murmured, “That egg… is it your daughter?”

“That’s right, that’s why, I obviously have descendants, but still…” Speaking of which, Alice’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, and she changed the subject and said:

“However, it takes a long time to hatch this egg, so I took this egg with me and traveled the entire Tivat continent with me.”

“This egg has also become my only reliance on my five-hundred-year journey. Every heartbeat and every beat of it makes me extremely happy. I began to understand the meaning of Rheindort’s words, she is my life. The continuation of life is more precious than eternal life.”

“It wasn’t until twelve years ago that she finally hatched from the egg. Although she was just born at that time, for me, we have been mother and daughter for five hundred years.”

“At that time, I was ready to give up continuing to be an adventurer, and concentrate on staying by my daughter’s side, but there was one thing I had to do, so I temporarily left her in the West Wind Knights, but I didn’t expect it. Yes……”

Speaking of which, tears appeared in Alice’s eyes again.

And Li Xingshan finally understood the whole story.

It turned out that Keli’s identity was actually an alchemy creature who had broken through the chalk stage.

This is why, she can grow up healthily and even get the Eye of God, because the alchemy creatures at this stage are already considered “life” in the true sense.

“I can understand this kind of pain,” Li Xingshan said in a low voice, “Whether it be five hundred years or five years, losing a loved one’s flesh and blood is an unbearable pain for life.”

“Don’t be sad for me, I will leave this mother’s love too late to Keli together,” Alice clenched Li Xingshan’s hands and said excitedly: “After we get married, I will definitely become a Good mother!”

Alice’s excited expression immediately said that Li Xingshan had pulled back to reality from the emotion just now.

He almost forgot that the reason why Alice was able to endure herself was all to “get” Keli.

“I’m very moved by what you said, but…” Li Xingshan said in a serious voice, “Keli, it’s not a substitute for your daughter.”

“I…I know!” Alice also seemed to realize her gaffe, and quickly explained: “Please don’t misunderstand, I want to marry you, definitely not because of Keli, but because…I really, like it very much. you!”

Vol.2 Girl’s Shaky Killing Intent: 238 Alice, how would you rate your skills?

One thing to say, Alice’s acting skills are really poor, the dodging eyes and the sweat on her forehead undoubtedly exposed her guilty conscience.

But so what?

After all, like her, she is a “liar”.

“I already understand everything about you,” Li Xingshan stood up and said while putting on his clothes, “Anyway, you should have a good rest first, I’ll go first.”

“Wait…wait…” Alice suddenly asked nervously: “About the marriage between us…”

This guy, wouldn’t he want to deny the account when he lifts his pants?

“As I said before, the reason why we have to try it in advance is to see if we are in sync in that respect,” Li Xingshan turned around with a somewhat disappointed expression on his face, and said, “If the total score is 100 How many points would you give yourself for your performance just now?”

How do you rate this kind of thing!

And, still rate yourself!

“That…” Alice pointed her two index fingers together and asked tentatively, “Eight…about eighty?”

How dare you say…

“Twenty-three and five,” Li Xingshan shook his head and said, “No more.”

“Why is there a decimal point?” Alice, who was battered, was a little mad for a while: “Also, how did you get this score? Could it be that you said it casually?”

“I have a very strict grading standard,” Li Xingshan stretched out a finger and said, “Do you want to hear it? The first assessment item is mouth…”

“No…don’t go into details!” Alice quickly stopped, her face was very ugly: “So, am I not qualified?”

Li Xingshan’s words undoubtedly hit Alice’s self-esteem severely. She thought that with her appearance and figure, she could easily make this man surrender.

Unexpectedly, he actually has a “higher” pursuit.

As for Li Xingshan, looking at Alice’s expression at this time, his heart felt dark.

Sure enough, the white ticket was cool for a while, and the white ticket has been cool all the time.

What could be more pleasurable than seeing the enemy slumped?

Of course, this was just Li Xingshan’s whim, wanting to make fun of Alice. Compared to his real revenge plan, this was just an appetizer.

“As for the wedding, how about a week later?” Li Xingshan said lightly, “The location should be Xifeng Cathedral.”

“Eh?”

Alice didn’t seem to react for a while, and murmured, “You promised… to marry me?”

“Although it’s really unqualified in that respect, but…” Li Xingshan forced himself to show a rather gentle smile: “Keli, she seems to like you very much.”

“Thank…Thank you!” Alice immediately broke into a smile and said, “I will definitely be a good mother! Keli…hee hee…my Keli…”

Don’t even plan to wear it?

It doesn’t matter, Alice, give all your mother’s love to Claire. The deeper your love is, the more painful it will be when the dream shatters!

…………

When he returned to the alchemy workshop, Sugar had not left, and was clearing the goods on the shelves.

“Welcome back,” Xia Tang asked as he continued his work, “How did it turn out?”

“Very well,” Li Xingshan hesitated for a moment, but answered truthfully, “The wedding will be held in a week.”

“Snapped!”

As soon as the voice fell, a medicine bottle suddenly slipped from the palm of the sugar palm, and the purple medicinal liquid was sprayed out instantly, exuding a strange aroma.

“Sugar?” Li Xingshan frowned slightly, “Are you alright?”

To be honest, the relationship between him and Sugar is very delicate. If nothing else, just spending ten years of great youth in this alchemy workshop, you can see her attitude towards Li Xingshan to some extent.

But now, Li Xingshan actually turned his head and announced his marriage to Alice, who had only met a few times.

“I’m fine.” Xia Tang hurriedly leaned down and wanted to clean up, but accidentally cut his fingers with broken glass.

Xia Tang has always been very cautious and reliable in her work, and she made two mistakes in just ten seconds.

Li Xingshan took out a spare band-aid, and carefully held up the sugar’s hand, while sticking to the wound, while whispering: “This is just a part of the revenge plan, after Iris is destroyed, we will leave together. Mond.”

“You said the same before,” Xia Tang looked at the blood on his fingers and said lightly, “You originally wanted to use Keli as a tool for revenge, but now, are you still ruthless?”

Li Xingshan didn’t know how to answer this question from the soul for a while.

It is true that Li Xingshan’s selfishness was involved in changing the “revenge plan”, and he could no longer make up his mind to let Keli fight Alice.

He already understood that Keli couldn’t win this battle, and Li Xingshan couldn’t use Keli’s death as the price of revenge.

Therefore, Li Xingshan would settle for the next best thing and choose another path.

“No, Alice is not the same as Keli,” Li Xingshan patted Xingshan’s palm on Xingtang’s shoulder and comforted: “Alice is my enemy, I definitely… can’t be ruthless.”

“Anyway, you should go to rest first,” Li Xingshan took the rag, intending to wipe the potion off the ground, and asked casually, “By the way, what kind of potion is this, why haven’t I seen it before?”

“It’s the slime solution essence I just extracted,” Sugar said with an expressionless face, “It has strong solubility for skin and muscles.”

“Such dangerous things should be kept out of reach of Keli.” Li Xingshan smiled helplessly, “Let me take care of it here.”

Sugar did not speak, but silently looked at the back of his hand, a drop of purple potion sliding down the smooth skin.

[You told Claire that you were going to marry Alice, you thought she would be very happy, after all, she seems to like Alice very much]

[However, the little guy is frowning and asking you a question that is difficult to answer: “Dad, if Keli has a new mother, if the mother in the sky knows, will she be unhappy?”]

[You can’t tell Keli that Alice is even her real mother, you can only comfort her: “Mom will understand us, and mother also hopes that Keli can be happy.”]

[“But, what about the plan to avenge my mother and defeat the evil demon king?” Keli suddenly remembered something, and asked a little excitedly: “The story of “The Brave Keli Fighting the Demon King”, isn’t it… it’s not over yet?” 】

Vol.2 Girl’s Precarious Killing Intent: 239 Strange Family

[“It’s over.” You touched Keli’s head and said, “Dad will find a way to defeat the Great Demon King in another way.”]

[Actually, Keli is already twelve years old and already knows that what she did might not be a plan to “defeat the Demon King”, but a real crime]

[However, from childhood to adulthood, “The Brave Keli Fighting the Demon King” has always been Keli’s spiritual support, but now she is forced to end in this way, which naturally makes her unacceptable for a while]

[You rarely see a lonely expression on Keli’s face, but you know in your heart that it is too risky to continue criminal activities after marrying Alice]

[Although Keli is very naughty, she is an understanding child. She did not resist you marrying Alice, but she was still very disappointed and silently returned to the room]

[The wedding will be held as scheduled at the West Wind Cathedral a week later. The head of the piano will serve as the witness. She is a mutual friend of you and Alice. Watching her use the synthetic palm to pick up the speech unskillfully, and sincerely When I blessed you, for the first time, you felt a little guilt towards this woman]

[Unexpectedly, there are not many guests attending the wedding, guests from the alchemy workshop, the surrounding neighbors, members of the West Wind Knights, school children and parents]

[In order to avoid suspicion, you didn’t ask Keli to attend the wedding, but asked Sugar to take care of her]

[The wedding went very smoothly. When you exchanged rings, looking at Alice in a wedding dress in front of you, your consciousness seemed a little dazed, as if you were eighteen years old again, you and Virginia, in the village The simple and warm wedding held in the small church]

[Qin recites the marriage statement aloud: “Would you like to be in front of Fengshen, become one with her, love him, comfort him, respect him, protect him, just as you love yourself. Whether he is sick or healthy, rich or Poverty, always loyal to him until he leaves the world?”]

[For some reason, the three words “I do” are stuck in your throat like a hard fishbone, and you can’t say them out, as if saying these three words is a betrayal of your deceased wife]

[At this moment, a violent explosion sounded not far away, the entire church shook, and the wedding scene immediately became chaotic]

【But the one who is most surprised is you, because you are very familiar with the sound of this explosion—it is very similar to the bomb used by Keli when she committed a crime.】

[Could it be that she actually took advantage of the wedding to commit a crime alone? 】

[You and your colleagues of the West Wind Knights quickly evacuated the personnel. As the chief alchemist of the West Wind Knights, you must join the work to investigate the scene, and this wedding has to be interrupted]

[You quickly arrived at the scene with the Zephyr Knights. What was blown up was the statue of Barbatos, the **** of wind, in front of the Zephyr Cathedral. In addition to about 40% of the damage, it also caused more than 20 people nearby. casualties]

[You immediately carry out inspection work and analyze the explosives from the residues at the scene, but at this moment, Qin tells you that they have found the body of the criminal suspect. It was also affected, and half of the body was directly blown to pieces]

[At that moment, you only felt that your brain went blank for a while, and you almost fainted. Your reaction shocked the head of Qin and told you that the suspect’s body was too scary, so you don’t have to go and watch it]

[But you still insisted on checking it out. With the help of the head of Qin, you saw half of the corpse that was in a dilapidated state. It was the corpse of an adult male! 】

[Seeing this half-corpse, you finally breathed a sigh of relief, and even couldn’t help showing a smile on your face. Captain Qin asked you why you were laughing, and you immediately made up a reason—the evil sun was finally caught! 】

[However, Qin quickly poured “cold water” on you. She clearly remembered that the true identity of the “evil sun” was a girl. This man can’t be the evil sun, and this bombing is probably just a copycat crime]

[This wedding ended hastily in this way, you and Alice did not plan to hold it again, and Alice, very understandingly, did not continue to ask you about your answer to the marriage testimony . Of course, you think, she may not care at all]

[37 years old: You have a very “weird” family. The husband pretends to love his wife when he actually sees his wife as a hated enemy. The wife pretends to love her husband, but she only loves her husband’s daughter]

[As for the daughter, she thought she had a happy family again. Although, the word “again” is not very accurate, because she has not received any maternal love since she was born]

[Your mission is very simple, you don’t have to commit crimes, and you don’t have to think about how to defeat a powerful monster-like woman like Alice]

[All you need to do is to play the role of the perfect husband and let Alice experience the happiness of the family—of course, the main thing is to be a mother]

[There is no doubt that Alice is a competent mother, and her attitude towards Keli is not just doting, but adhering to the correct education policy. If there is only one fly in the ointment, it is that her cooking skills have not improved at all. 】

[And for you, the only troublesome thing is probably to show your love for the enemy at all times. Yes, you must show your love and infatuation for Alice, so that she will not doubt you]

[This stupid woman actually thought that you fell in love with her inextricably, and even deliberately practiced that level for you]

[But you have to admit that maybe this elf learns anything except cooking with an amazing speed. She even prepares a notebook to record your scores on her after each time, and analyze the scoring criteria]
