Chapter 23 Spiritual Water

Half an hour later, the two returned to Alhaz's home.

Both of them were in a bit of a mess, their bodies were wet, and their clothes were covered with mud and water plants, but they were both quite excited.

Although the process of the summoning ceremony was a bit unexpected and even encountered some dangers, the result was undoubtedly a success.

As soon as he walked out of the mirror world, Sean immediately went straight to the wine cabinet. He poured two glasses of wine first, handed one to Alhaz, and drank the other glass himself, before speaking after suppressing his shock.

Walking around the edge of life and death, he was almost dragged into the water by the water monster, which made him a little bit unrecovered until now.

After finally calming down, he couldn't wait to take the stone bottle out of his leather bag. Looking at the unique shape of the stone bottle in his hand, Xiao En thought that life or death depended on this.

He found a clean glass and carefully poured out the liquid inside. The amber liquid flowed out slowly, and Sean didn't pour too much. According to the book, just a sip of spiritual water can heal swords. For wounds, two small mouthfuls can heal limbs, and three small mouthfuls can even revive a dying person.

Considering the words that the fairy in the lake reminded, this thing is likely to have side effects, so it's better to use less.

Sean poured about a third of the glass and then stopped, corked the bottle, picked up the glass and looked at the liquid inside carefully, the water was a light amber color, smelled it, there was no smell.

This thing is undoubtedly a bit suspicious. Who knows if the fairy in the lake will do anything, and the so-called ancient contract does not know whether there is such a guarantee.

But at this moment, Sean couldn't care so much, and a nauseating feeling surged up in his chest. Sean took a deep breath, raised his glass to Alhaz, and drank the liquid in the glass .

A coolness spread along the esophagus, stomach, and blood vessels towards the whole body. He felt that his whole body was full of coolness at that moment, and his brain buzzed suddenly, as if being blown by a biting cold wind.

The disgusting feeling disappeared, replaced by a faint sense of trance, he blinked his eyes, the world around him seemed to have changed, it seemed to become clearer, could this side effect be Improve eyesight?

No, he glanced around, the living room was still the same as before, it didn't look any different, but the subtleties seemed to be a little different from before, he looked around suspiciously, always felt as if he could feel something , there seemed to be some kind of subtle sound, but when I listened carefully, I couldn't hear anything.

"Are you okay?" Alhaz asked curiously, not as if he was concerned about his body, but more as if he was confirming the results of the experiment.

"I feel—great."

As Sean said, he jumped twice and moved his body. The pain, weakness, and nausea that had always plagued him before disappeared, and he felt surprisingly good.

"So amazing?" Alhaz looked at the stone bottle in disbelief, and couldn't help but said, "Give me some, too."

"Are you not sick?"

"My eyesight has always been poor, and I have a slight stomach problem, which may have fallen from my expedition across the desert a few years ago. If this spiritual water is really so magical, it may save me from suffering. "

Sean didn't refuse, and poured him a small glass, which was a little less than what he drank, probably only a little more than a bottle cap.

Alhaz didn't dislike it either, he picked up his cup and drank it down in one gulp, smacking his mouth.

"How is it? Do you feel it?"

"That's right, it feels great." He touched his stomach, rubbed his eyes, and took out a book to test it in a distance—"Well, the eyes don't feel any change, but The stomach disease should be cured."

He looked at the bottle of spiritual water, was amazed, and wanted to have some more.

Xiao En hastily put away the bottle, this thing is a life-saving good thing, who knows if he will get sick or injured again in the future, with this thing, there is no fear of not having a reliable doctor , In this era of backward medical technology, this bottle of spiritual water is especially precious.

It's a pity that there is only such a small bottle. The two drank a third of it just now, and it will be gone after a few more sips.

Alhaz didn't care too much, and said enthusiastically: "We should continue to summon. When I read that book before, I found that there are many magical alien creatures that can bring us unimaginable benefits. Sphinx , the oak tree wise man, the devil, Paimon... Ah, I see—Deng Shen, I remember seeing an illustration about the Djinn in a book, but the text is not very clear, if we can find a way If you learn the secret language of ancient Essia, then—"

Sean shook his head, "No, we shouldn't continue calling."

"What are you kidding?" Alhaz looked at him incredulously, waiting for his explanation.

Sean said seriously: "Haven't you found out? The records in this book always have various errors, as if it is deliberately concealing the danger in it.

Think about it, you summoned the ghost in the mirror, only to have your shadow stolen and trapped inside the mirror.

I summoned the Fairy of the Lake and it turned out to be a man-eating monster that almost ate us both.

And this seems to be a very safe option. If we summon something more terrifying, such as a devil or something, then bad luck will come to us sooner or later, and we cannot escape every time. "

Alhaz turned a deaf ear to Xiao En's explanation, "No, you want to monopolize this power, right? I knew it, I knew it—"

Sean laughed back angrily, "What is monopoly? First of all, this book is mine, there is no such thing as 'us'.

Secondly, I did this for the good of everyone and also for your own good. With your character, if you continue to summon, you will kill yourself sooner or later, and even bring disaster to this world. Who knows what monster you will summon to this world come up.

The lake fairy and water monster in that lake don't know what kind of trouble they will cause. "

Alhaz didn't take it seriously, "I think they should go back by themselves."

"Go back by yourself? How to go back?"

"Who knows, there may be some kind of return mechanism, or the summoning is time-limited, I don't know..." Alhaz said anxiously, and suddenly grabbed Sean's wrist, "Don't forget that I can Saved your life! You can't leave me alone."

"No, I saved your life. If it weren't for me, you would still be trapped in the mirror. Maybe you would have been killed by those monsters long ago. You didn't save me, you just helped me complete the ceremony. , given that I saved your life, I don't think it's a big deal."

Alhaz was so stunned that he couldn't speak, so he immediately changed the topic.

"Then what are you going to do with this book? What are you going to do with the disappearance of Lancet."

"I have decided that when I go back, I will lock this book and hide it in a place where no one can find it. I don't intend to use it unless it is a last resort. Then I will continue to be my professor. It's as if nothing happened. Had the same."

Alhaz sneered: "Hehehe, do you think so, do you think you can return to a peaceful life?"

Sean said lightly: "No one knows that we did it. We traveled from the mirror world without leaving any clues. I really can't think of any flaws that would expose us."

Alhaz laughed evilly, "You are right, but there is one thing I forgot to tell you. When I went to kidnap Lanster that night, I accidentally pulled something in that room."

Alhaz said, pointing to his collar.

There should have been the emblem of Jianbao University there, but only professor-level people have this thing, which is a symbol of honor.

But it was empty at this time, and Sean had noticed it before, but he thought that Alhaz had taken the badge, but he didn't expect it to be lost.

No, he couldn't be that stupid, he was probably fooling himself, Sean thought calmly looking at Alhaz's proud face.

"Then why do you do this? Don't tell me I'm not careful, this kind of nonsense can't fool me, you can't do it on purpose, right?"

"Yes, I did it on purpose. I did this to relieve your worries. Because of the badge, the Duke's spies and the police from Sword Castle will come to your door sooner or later. There is only one way for you and me to go, and that is Leave Sword Castle, leave Brighton."

"Stop kidding yourself Sean, you and I are the same person, I can see that you and I share a desire for adventure, a desire to explore the mysteries that no one knows, the ancient legends and the past, you and I The same, all yearn for the mysterious power beyond the power of the world, I can see it from the books you have written.

It's just that you are too cowardly to face your true self.

Now you have no way out, come with me Sean, we go to my country, where no one can find us, I have a manor in Surander, hidden in the mountains, we can study there Forbidden knowledge in the book.

Those ancient wisdom will benefit us infinitely, beyond the constraints of secular rules and laws, no one can stop us. "
