Chapter 36 High Demons, Low Demons
"Do you know, how happy I was when I heard Albus mention your identity!" Nick's body was gradually rotting, and the stench in the air made Ning Yuan frown continuously.
"That's why you provide life potion without hesitation to a stranger you have never seen before?" Ning Yuan asked in confusion. When he needed to make a magic wand, Dumbledore asked for some life potion. At that time, Dumbledore didn't seem to think much about it and quickly agreed to Ning Yuan's request.
At that time, Ning Yuan thought that it was because of Dumbledore's friendship with Nick Lemay that the other party was so easy to talk. After all, Nick's ability to leave the Philosopher's Stone to Dumbledore to design the game Voldemort shows his trust in Dumbledore. Now it seems that it is more because of his identity, Ning Yuan thought.
"Yes, human hearts are always unpredictable. If it were someone else, even if Albus is a guarantee, I would meet that person in person. It was not that I did not trust Albus, but because people have an unexpected desire for magic stones. Whether it is turning stones into gold or immortality, aren't these things that humans dream of!" Nick sneered, his words full of self-deprecation and deep sorrow.
Ning Yuan shrugged and said helplessly: "I thought it was because of my 'craft' in making the wand that attracted the attention of you, the great alchemist!" After all, it was also a fine product deduced by the Heart of Truth, and it was made of items with the potential of artifacts.
Nick's blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, "If your identity is really a space-time adventurer, then it is not surprising that he can come up with the so-called ancient magic text and superb blood sacrifice secret techniques. Although I am very moved by these lost things, I care more about the identity of a space-time adventurer!"
Like Ning Yuan knew, even if he was knowledgeable, his knowledge of the ancient magic text was just a piecemeal of things passed down, so he was naturally curious about the ancient magic text that Ning Yuan spent a lot of energy to make a magic wand.
"That's right. If I were Mr. Lemay and knew that a space-time adventurer who could travel through the infinite world, I would think so. After all, according to Mr. Lemay, you are currently in your situation..." Ning Yuan shook his head and said.
Now Nick's appearance is almost the same as a highly decayed corpse. As Ning Yuan was talking, a big scalp on his head was sliding down into the car with dry hair.
To be honest, such a scene is very disgusting. Coupled with the stench in the air, Ning Yuan feels that he will vomit it out the next moment. Perhaps compared with Nick's current image, although the zombies in Resident Evil are both corpses, they are at least much fresher.
"Yes, yes, yes, you can't know how happy and excited I was!" Nick's voice was full of fanaticism.
"As the soul decayed to its limit, Petty and I could feel the soul collapse and exhaustion almost every day, feeling the gradually weakening of the five senses little by little, and experiencing the pain of mental chaos over and over again... But your arrival brought me hope, do you know why?" Nick smiled, but the appearance of his approach that was about to turn into a skeleton could only make people shudder.
Ning Yuan thought for a while and said, "I do have some ideas!"
Nick said playfully, "Oh, let's talk."
"Because of the foundation of this plane!" Ning Yuan studied the wording and said slowly: "Although I don't know how you divide it, as far as I know, although this world is now in the Dharma-Ending Age of Low Demons, it is irrefutable that this place was at least a world of high Demons."
"High Demon, Low Demon? Interesting theory, let's continue!" Nick understood Ning Yuan's statement, and while speaking, he gently groped his chin with his hands that had almost become joints and had a few silks of carrion and yellow pus hanging on them.
"This world has had god-level existences, whether it is a Western god or an Eastern immortal Buddha. Therefore, I concluded that this plane once belonged to the world of high demons."
"But the world will not remain unchanged. I don't know why, these high-level existences suddenly left this plane with their disciples and subordinates one day, so various inheritances of this plane were basically cut off... Then the plane's position began to decrease until the world's first wizard appeared, that was Merlin!"
"Merlin relies on secret techniques to spread his knowledge and blood to the entire world to pass on the wizard civilization. By this time, the plane had fallen to the world of Central Demon... However, Meilin also did what his predecessors did not do, spreading the wizard civilization to all parts of the world! Even the red country in the East... Although as an oriental, he should be gritting his teeth at such invasion of faith, considering my current identity as a wizard, it seems that he is not qualified to say this!" Ning Yuan shook his head and sighed.
This is why there is only wizard civilization in this world. He had initially expected the country in the east, but the facts finally told him that the most complete inheritance of this world is wizards, even the oldest country is no exception. Even if there is some knowledge from the high demon era secretly spreading, the mysterious trend of the entire world still belongs to wizards.
These are all the truth that Ning Yuan learned from the heart of truth that belongs to the world!
"...I am really a time and space adventurer. Even I have tried to find what you said in a long history that has been buried in the years." After a long silence, Nick spoke, "But what does this have to do with our topic?"
Ning Yuan was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the other party really knew this and affirmed the guess in his heart. He thought for a while and replied: "I thought at first that you were just trying to find a way to leave this world through me. After all, the endless world represents endless hope. But now I can be sure that what you want is to follow the footsteps of powerful civilizations that have left this plane and find a way to solve your own problems. Am I right, Mr. Nick Lemay?"
Nick Lemay was silent for a moment and said dryly: "Yes, I don't deny it!"
Seeing Nick almost turned into a skeleton, and his feet were filled with pus, blood, internal organs, and rotten meat. All kinds of things that made people creepy and smelly, Ning Yuan's face became even more ugly!
"The refining process of the Philosopher's Stone has referenced my alchemy knowledge left in an unknown ruin. Therefore, if there is a way to solve the decay of souls, it is undoubtedly this mysterious civilization. This is my idea, but it is simple to say that traveling through the world, but it is difficult for wizards today!" Nick continued.
"So Mr. Lemay, are you saying that you will imprison me next, torture me, or torture my soul? I hope I honestly explain to the secrets of time and space adventurers who can travel through time and space!" Ning Yuan spread his hands and said helplessly.
Nick choked by Ning Yuan's words.
Ning Yuan continued, "Okay, Mr. Lemay, the words have already been spoken. Can this damn illusion be relieved? Even if it is fake, it is really disgusting. I think I have lost any appetite in the past few days!" As he said that, he glared at the corpse water that was about to flow to his feet.
As Ning Yuan finished speaking, Nick was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Ning Yuan was not joking, he chuckled softly. Then he saw that the corpse water at his feet began to flow backwards. Then everything seemed to press the back button. Nick's body began to recover bit by bit, and the smell in the air gradually faded.
Soon, the car returned to its original state, and Nick Lemay was no longer a disgusting skeleton, but the quiet handsome man at the beginning! The seemingly vague oppressive aura in the car disappeared, and everything seemed like it was just a dream.
"How did you see that? The scene I had just arranged was very successful!" Nick said with a smile and raised his eyebrows. Unlike his gloomy and cold appearance just now, Nick is the humorous and talkative good man at home when he first met.
Can Ning Yuan say that he is the host of the Heart of Truth, so he saw the flaw at the beginning... "Guess, or because I trust Professor Dumbledore, I am willing to believe his vision. And to be honest, in my sense, although your soul has decayed, the situation is not serious. Besides, it is only more than 600 years, so how can it have such a big impact on the body? According to Nick, you can at least last for more than a hundred years."
Although he himself is not yet in the realm of seeing a person's soul at a glance, it can be seen from Nick's own temperament that the other party has not yet reached the time of complete decay. Otherwise, Nick would have been dead all over his body, rather than the one who looks quite energetic now.
