Chapter 68 Nick Mellor
Nick Mele is a great alchemist. His legend can be written into more than one best-selling book. As an alchemist, Nick Mele also carries in his heart the ultimate dream of all alchemists: eternal life.
.
The Philosopher's Stone is a legend left from ancient times. It is said to be an alchemical item that can make people immortal. It is the ultimate pursuit of every alchemist.
Nick Mele is indeed a genius alchemist. He can be said to be the being closest to completing the Philosopher's Stone. Like all wizards, no matter how powerful the wizard is, he will inevitably face the limit of his lifespan in the end. Nick Mele
In his later years, he devoted all his efforts and finally completed the ultimate alchemy, successfully extending his life.
But there is a problem here. Since ancient wizards were able to make magic stones that could extend their lifespan, why did they still die? Even the legendary perfect magic stone did not allow any wizard to live.
Until now.
The side effects of the Philosopher's Stone began to show up. Nick Mele felt that his senses were gradually fading. At first, he didn't pay attention, just thinking that this old man was a natural reaction. But soon he realized that something was wrong. His senses were declining.
It got worse and worse. He couldn't taste delicious food or smell the fragrance of flowers. Later, even his hearing and even touch began to deteriorate. He even began to feel no pain, and his vision also declined sharply.
For this reason, he deliberately learned a lot of new magic to replace his vision and hearing. However, taste, touch, and other senses could not all be replaced. He tried all methods, but they could only delay this symptom.
As long as he continues to use the Philosopher's Stone, the decline of his senses is inevitable. Whether to live like a zombie or slowly age and die has become a question that Nick Mellor must choose.
Nick Mele struggled painfully between the two choices. He survived with a lingering breath, but suffered an inevitable little bit of aging. Until Lin Xuan came to the door.
Nick Mele has been living in seclusion for a long time. Except for a few friends, almost no one knows his seclusion. But that day, a strange Eastern wizard walked into his residence.
Of course Lin Xuan didn't know where Nick Mele lived. But he knew it was somewhere in the UK. And the most important thing was that Nick Mele should still have the Philosopher's Stone at this time. The Philosopher's Stone can extend life. No matter what
Whatever side effects it has, it must have huge vitality.
Lin Xuan used the life ring on his left hand to search. After spending a lot of effort, he finally received feedback from an alternative life force in a manor.
It is a very strange kind of vitality. It is very pure, even a little too pure. In fact, in Lin Xuan's understanding, this should be a manifestation of incomplete vitality. It is like the difference between ordinary water and distilled water.
The ordinary water we drink is not pure because it contains various trace elements that our body needs. Distilled water may be cleaner, but it is missing something. So drinking distilled water for a long time will always have some side effects.
This is actually the shortcoming of the magic stone. We can synthesize water, but it is just pure water. We cannot produce all the trace elements needed by the human body at the same time. In that case, the entire project would be countless times more complicated. The magic stone is only artificially synthesized vitality.
.It can extend lifespan, but after all, it still lacks something.
When Lin Xuan broke through the defensive magic at the door and walked into the yard, Nick Mele was sitting on a chair basking in the sun.
"If you are here for the magic stone. It is right here, take it away?" He threw a brown translucent crystal over. "Now leave my house."
Lin Xuan carefully looked at the magic stone in his hand. It was similar to what appeared in the movie. It was an irregular brown crystal, about the size of a child's fist. Just by holding it, you could feel the huge magic power contained in it.
"This is indeed a rare alchemy item. But it's not worth traveling all the way. Mr. Nickmeler, I'm here to find you. I hope you can accept a job."
"Work? Young man, I can feel that you are a powerful mage. Can't you see that when I talk now, I am using magic to simulate my voice. I can't even see you clearly from this distance. Are you going to let me What to do?"
"I plan to ask you to do a great thing. Pass on your alchemy skills."
"Haha. I have more than one disciple. I have taught everything I can. Take that magic stone away and let me spend the last time alone?"
"Are you just giving up? It seems that you have noticed the side effects of the Philosopher's Stone, right? Your senses are gradually fading. But there is nothing you can do. So you plan to wait here to die?"
"What do you know?" Lin Xuan's words caught Nick Mellor's attention. He felt that Lin Xuan's knowledge of the Sorcerer's Stone exceeded his imagination.
"I don't know much. At least I don't know how to make this thing. But I can solve your problem in another way."
"Solution to my problem. Young man, do you know what you're talking about?"
"Of course I know." Lin Xuan raised his left hand, and the ring of life slowly released a stream of life force, lingering in his left hand.
I saw Nick Mele suddenly take a deep breath, his face flushed, obviously entering a state of extreme excitement. Just now, he felt something attracting him. It was an irresistible temptation. That's it. Just like a serious drug addict who sees drugs, he will do anything for it.
"What did you do?" Nick Mele used all his willpower to barely restrain the desire radiating from his bones.
Lin Xuan noticed the trembling of his body. "It seems that you have already felt it. Your body is longing for him. His real life force."
"Vitality? No, it's impossible. My magic stone can do the same, but it has never given me this feeling."
"That's because your magic stone is not perfect enough." Lin Xuan gently sent the life force into Nick Mele's body. Nick Mele took a deep breath, and his old skin gradually became tight. He got up. His cloudy eyes were filled with luster again. He breathed in all the smells in the air, with a feeling of being reborn. But that feeling quickly disappeared. He regained certain senses, but the distance Is the result he wants still far behind?
At this time he only heard the young voice saying, "Mr. Nickmeler, can we talk now?"
