Chapter 1831: Knowledge of the Philosopher's Stone

The ground crack gradually closed, burying the hugging bones into the earth. Above the scorched plain where the flames gradually extinguished, sunlight appeared in the sky, and vitality appeared bit by bit on the barren land. However, this had nothing to do with Xia De and Miss Higgins in the Fog Camp.

The crack at the top of the bell tower disappeared, and the Fog Camp was still the same Fog Camp.

"This Old God, wouldn't he have known this would be the ending from the beginning when he traded with the knight?"

Xia De thought silently in his heart, but this time he didn't ask it out loud. The story ended in a relatively satisfactory way. Being too curious about the hidden process would annoy everyone.

And for himself, miracle—charm, blasphemy—indifference, enlightenment—bell tower lovers, whisper—ending, all four spirit runes of the six rings were complete, and only the last step was needed for advancement.

But he still needed to wait, wait for the Misuo of the six rings to appear because of the touch in his heart, wait for the Misuo that realized physical fusion because of love and reluctance to become a part of "Fairytale Town."

Once the physical fusion and the effect of "Thorn of Love" were combined, and the dual-in-one was realized, he would have brand-new options for the choice of the Chosen One of Space.

The transactions of mortals all ended here, and Xia De's purpose for coming to the Fog Camp had also been completely achieved. The remaining time for this adventure was not much, and it was time to say goodbye again.

While sighing softly in his heart, the god had already pointed to the burning campfire:

"Leave. I am very satisfied with this transaction. Cherish your last 365 days. When they walk hand in hand toward the end of death, I will wait for them here and ask them if they admit that this transaction is worth it."

The second is to use the Philosopher's Stone as a disposable item, using it to assist in spellcasting, making the effect of spellcasting reach an unimaginable extreme;

You said this to Ers, very seriously:

With such thoughts, before leaving, Ers asked the god standing by the fire the last question:

If you don't count the white Time Key leading to 【Past Life】, then "1576, Seventh Era—Fog Camp" was the 11th Time Key Ers had completely experienced so far. Having seen so many stories and experienced so many adventures, when he saw the giant tree symbolizing the "Shadow of the Father of the Infinite Tree" appearing in front of his eyes again, he still felt infinite melancholy in his heart.

"Yes."

"That was a story from a long time ago."

The smile on the face of the god

"I wish you health."

At first, I thought the Tree Father wanted me to witness the stories of the past and make up for the omissions in history; later, I realized that these adventures would bring me huge benefits and unexpected power; but now, the more I know and understand, I realize that the Tree Father seems to want to rely on me to connect and penetrate the discontinuous Second Era and Third Era.

The god just smiled, pressed his left hand lightly on the scale pattern on the front of his robe, and completely ignored his question:

"Wait, this isn't some kind of trading routine, is it?"

Then the two souls bowed to Xia De to thank him, and Xia De shook his head gently:

"Choose the first one. This was the decision I made when I first arrived. After all, when giving a girl an eighteenth birthday gift, who would give human bones?"

"The 【Midas Touch】 seems to be related to the characteristics of the 'Philosopher's Stone' that turns objects into gold. If possible, I would rather you give me some knowledge on how to make the 'Philosopher's Stone'."

The god finally spoke in person this time:

Ersi wanted to agree, but then thought of another thing Lu Wei Ya had mentioned:

The figures of the two souls disappeared, and Miss Xi Xia De slowly picked up her backpack from the ground, and then said goodbye to Ersi. She really looked reluctant to part.

"Although people always say that witches' love is short-lived, if a witch really falls in love with someone, loves your body, and is also attracted by your soul, then our love will become very persistent and will not be worse than Mrs. Mai Jin Si's."

She gave Xia De her advice:

"Greed, you are indeed greedier than I thought. I cannot give you the way to make the Philosopher's Stone, but if you want to pursue power, I can prepare another gift of knowledge for you."

"Actually, I came here to complete a transaction."

She winked at Ersi:

The black fog filled every corner of the field of vision, only directly in front, the illusory big tree that seemed to connect the sky and the earth made a rustling sound of branches and leaves swaying in the windless environment.

"You have many witch lovers, right? You mentioned this, and I can also feel that you are very popular with witches."

"What did you say? Wait a minute, speaking of which, just now it should have been Miss Xi Xia De's trading cost that was transferred to me, which was also your handiwork, right? May I ask what you want to do by targeting my view of love like this?"

If viewed from the perspective of maximizing benefits, of course, the second option is the best. The symbolism of that skeleton at this time can almost be equated with the original text of the ancient fairy tale "Zhong Lou Lover."

He had been thinking about the significance of these past stories to himself all along.

"Also true, if a person like you really exists, the Witch Emperors might start a full-scale war because of this."

"You are also leaving. I promised to give you a gift just now, and now you can make a choice. My believers are very fond of the power called 【Midas Touch】. Are you interested in this?"

The third use is how to use the Philosopher's Stone to convert gold. Although this use is extremely wasteful, this knowledge is absolutely precious.

The huge bronze bell leaning against the wall floated up and then quickly shrank to the size of a palm. The rust on the surface peeled off, revealing lines of golden inscriptions. The small bell came to Ersi, and Ersi looked carefully, and it actually wrote the uses of the Philosopher's Stone.

"In this adventure, I also learned a lot. Men are not all annoying. That boy who wanted to kill me..."

Lost his heart because of hatred, but Mrs. Mai Jin Si's lover proved that true feelings are not gender-specific. In the future, when I have money, I will probably try to promote it so that witches don't discriminate against men so much..."

The white scales floated in front of him, but the god asked at this time:

"Your story also answered my doubts. I wish you happiness. Although the wasted life cannot be recovered, please cherish the last 365 days."

Although this small bell recorded precious knowledge, it was still an ordinary item itself, so it could be taken away by Ersi. So Ersi took the scales and the small bell and thanked the god again.

"Witches' view of love is different from ordinary girls."

To be honest, I was indeed angry at the time, and the more I thought about it, the angrier I got. After all, I was not only scolded by the girls, but I almost fell down and couldn't get up again. But since the god was willing to give that pair of lovers a relatively perfect ending, and even indirectly helped me obtain the power of "Zhong Lou Lover," the cost was just that I answered a simple question, so I was no longer angry.

"If you can obtain the love of cursed witches, please be sure to cherish it. But at the same time, absolutely do not hesitate. If they choose you, they will definitely not regret it. If you hesitate instead, you will be laughed at by the girls."

That is of course very difficult, because this kind of "discrimination" does not originate from cultural and psychological factors, it is a real curse. However, since I want to do something, maybe I can really bring change to the world:

The golden apple obtained from the Dark Moon Circus and the scales in front of me at this time were birthday gifts I prepared for Iluna.

This time investigation had its own uniqueness compared to the past. The boy who was killed was the first person to die in the past because of Ersi's targeting, while the remaining old man and the witch Miss Xi Xia De both got good endings.

The black fog had already wrapped around his body, and the final adventure in the black fog camp had also ended. Now that I think about it, the Old God encountered in this adventure is indeed different from others. Ersi knew very well that the other party was definitely not a standard good god, but he couldn't help but feel no ill will towards this god.

"Look, since you made such a choice, what have you been confused about all along?"

The knight said to Xia De, and Mrs. Mai Jin Si also nodded with a smile. They thanked Xia De for the last time, then held hands and walked towards that door.

"Thank you."

After saying that, she waved to Xia De again, and then walked into the door in the fire. What the situation was on the other side of the door, Ersi couldn't see at all, but he could hear sentences like "We are back," "Hurry, His Majesty will be happy to hear this news, maybe the injury will be better" before the door disappeared.

Because Xia De had just said his name, she could also use the language of this era to read Xia De's name. She waved to Xia De and tightened the strap of her satchel. Then, the witch also forgot to say goodbye to the god freely, looked at Xia De one last time, and just as she was about to step into the big door in the fire, she turned back and said to Xia De:

"No, that is definitely not a wasted life."

"Then goodbye, Mr. Xia De Hamilton."

"May I ask, do you know 'Desire'?"

Ersi said softly. At this time, there was not much time left, and only he and the god were left at the top of the clock tower.

It recorded three uses here. The first is to make an elixir of immortality. Of course, that potion cannot make people truly immortal. The specific effect depends on the amount of Philosopher's Stone used, but even if it is just a fingernail-sized Philosopher's Stone, the effect of making the potion is quite amazing;

Mrs. Mai Jin Si and Mr. Jackman's souls bowed to the god again. In the fire, the open door was the direction to leave. This time the god did not charge them any more costs.

Xia De nodded:

But Ersi still shook his head:

The golden god asked, and Ersi asked in surprise:
