Banner of the Evil God

"Is this the gift you think is valuable enough to bother me for?" One of the only two marquises in the Gold Coin Federation, the current Marquis Dak, Leisen Dak, looked at the small crystal bottle with displeasure in his eyes, "A bottle of alchemical potion... can it make a magic weapon? Or can it give me an indestructible body? Or, it is colorless and tasteless, and cannot be detected by the spell of detecting poison, but it can kill people?"

The fat man standing in front of him with his waist bent was covered with oily sweat, half from running all the way, and half from nervousness. He knew that the master he served had a bad temper and would easily get angry if he was disturbed from enjoying himself, but he also knew that if he didn't deliver this precious potion to the master as soon as possible, it would be worse if he was found out later.

So he stood there trembling, and waited for Marquis Dak to finish his rage before whispering in a respectful tone: "Sir, this is a bottle of life-extending potion."

"Life-extending potion?" Marquis Dak looked at the bottle with some doubts. The light red clear potion in the bottle looked very ordinary, and it didn't look like it could extend life at all.

"Yes! It can extend life. To be precise, it can temporarily stop the aging of the body of the user, and the effect can last for about ten years."

After listening to the fat man's introduction, Marquis Dak couldn't help but become curious.

As one of the de facto rulers of the Gold Coin Federation, he has amazing power and wealth, and naturally can get a lot of treasures. But even so, things that can extend life are not so easy to obtain. Even for him, this is true.

In theory, it is not difficult to extend life. Whether it is the fruit of the tree of life in the ancient forest, the fountain of youth in Longya, or finding a group of powerful wizards to hold a life-extending ceremony, it can effectively extend life. But these methods are difficult to implement. The Tree of Life has long disappeared with the fall of the elves, and no one knows where it is. Dragon Cliff is not difficult to find, but the mortal king coveting the treasures of the great Dragon Emperor is really a bit of a suicide. As for finding a group of wizards to prolong life... the high cost and the huge price are enough to make most kings feel distressed, and it is beyond the affordability of most countries.

After all, although the king is noble, he has many heirs. Wasting huge wealth to let an old man live a few more years? The country is not the king's private property! Even if he is willing, those who jointly control the power of the country will never allow it!

In this world, it is not difficult for the strong to live long, but it is extremely difficult for mortals to prolong their lives, even the king is no exception.

So, does this potion really have such a wonderful effect as his subordinate said?

"Fat Tiger, to be honest, I don't really believe it." He said, "If it is such a magical thing, it would be better if a great wizard sent it to me, but you...tsk tsk." He shook his head with a bit of disdain. The fat man, who was despised by his boss, smiled bitterly and explained in a low voice: "This just appeared in the auction house today. People from the Church of the Void Mask auctioned it. It is said that His Majesty is in a good mood and made such a potion. Will he auction two bottles?" Marquis Dark was refreshed and immediately believed it. Of course, things like prolonging life are difficult for mortals, but for the omnipotent gods, what is it? Not to mention, His Majesty the Void Mask has great magical powers, even among the gods, he is particularly powerful. If it is His work, it is not surprising at all. It's just... "Why did His Majesty the Void Mask make this?" He picked up the crystal bottle and played with it, wondering. "His Majesty's ideas are always wonderful and unique. Maybe he just finds it interesting..."

Marquis Dark laughed at his subordinates' speculation, but after thinking carefully, he felt that it seemed to make sense - how many of the things that his Majesty did were normal? How many were easy to understand?

Would a normal person build an amusement park in the ice and snow? Of course not!

"Yes, after all... He is a jellyfish." He said with a smile, "It is not a good idea for humans to speculate on the thinking of jellyfish."

After that, he put the crystal bottle on the tray held by the maid beside him and stood up.

"Come with me, let's visit the Void Mask Church."

"...This is indeed the potion auctioned by our church, which was given by our Lord himself." A priest of the Void Mask Church carefully examined the bottle and the potion in the bottle with magic, and finally said with certainty, "Yes, it is a longevity potion."

Marquis Dark smiled, picked up the crystal bottle with the cork removed, and drank the little potion in one gulp.

"It smells like grass and a little bit of blood." He smacked his lips and said thoughtfully, "Could it be that the raw material is dragon blood? I've never heard that dragon blood can be drunk directly."

"The power of our Lord is not something that mortals like us can guess." The priest replied with a smile.

The ruler of the Gold Coin Federation nodded, closed his eyes, and used his limited magic ability to sense the condition of his body.

After a while, he showed a look of surprise on his face and smiled.

Although it was not very clear, he did feel that his body had undergone some changes, and the feeling of aging that had been increasing since he turned fifty disappeared.

This is not to say that he suddenly regained his youthful vitality, but he truly felt that he had stopped aging, as if the power of time had suddenly lost its effect on him.

"This is so amazing!" he said happily, "How many more potions like this are there? I'll buy them all!"

"Your Majesty, birth, old age, sickness and death are the iron laws that cannot be violated by anything. Even my Lord can only delay this process a little." The priest who had already received instructions from Sui Xiong replied, "For the same person, One bottle of medicine is enough. If you take it again after ten years, it will only have one-third of the effect. If you take it for the third time after thirteen years, it will have almost no effect."

Marquis Dark frowned, but he was not too disappointed - being able to live for ten more years was already a very remarkable gain. As a successful ruler and businessman, he had always been very clear about the principle of "you can't be too greedy".

But after thinking about it, he had another idea - if he used this magical potion to trade with those big shots whose status was equal to his own, he would definitely get extraordinary benefits!

But... he asked tentatively: "Has His Majesty the Mask of the Void distributed a lot of such potions?"

"Not many." The pastor replied, "His Majesty said that there are not many people in a country who can afford this medicine, so He distributed a few bottles in the capital of each country, and that's it."

Marquis Darke sighed: "That's true! I can think of things, there's no reason why a god can't think of them."

He didn't feel particularly sorry, and told him that if there was such a potion again, he must keep a bottle for himself. Money was not an issue.

Although the second bottle can only extend his life for three years, three years is still a big deal!

A similar situation happened that night in the capitals of various countries on the main plane. The high-ranking big shots were all shocked by this mere bottle of light red potion, and happily gave away large sums of money.

Not only that, because of the effect of the life-extending potion, senior officials in various countries have a good impression of the Church of the Void Mask. Even the Holy Angel Kingdom, which has always been exclusive, has rarely shown goodwill to the Church of the Mask of the Void.

"Mortals are so fragile!" Looking at the mountains of gold coins, Sui Xiong couldn't help but sigh, "Just a mere ten years of life makes them so crazy!"

"Fortunately, it's only ten years!" The God of Justice shook his head and sighed, "If it had been longer, I'm afraid you would have been in big trouble!"

"What trouble can I get into?"

"Between us brothers, we won't talk about the old man's nonsense like 'life and death are the order of the world'. I will only say one thing!" The God of Justice looked at Sui Xiong with a very serious expression, "The rich and powerful people It’s wrong to live for more than ten years! If you really allow them to live longer, or even live indefinitely, then I will stop you, brother!”

Sui Xiong was stunned, thought for a while, and nodded silently.

The God of Justice is right, for those who are rich and powerful, "death" is almost the only equal thing between them and the poor. If they can afford enough life-extending potions because they are rich and powerful, and can live indefinitely, then even this last equality has been eliminated.

In such a situation, not only would the God of Justice be dissatisfied, but even Sui Xiong himself would not be able to bear it...

However, the current situation is not that bad after all. If it only extends life by more than ten years, it is not a serious problem.

After all...it is normal in any world that rich and powerful people live better and longer than poor people, and there is nothing wrong with that.

It is not good to focus on money, but there is no need to hate the rich.

"What should I do with the money?" he asked, looking at the pile of gold coins.

"You can do whatever you want." The God of Justice said nonchalantly, "If you have money, use it. If you don't, forget about it. If you can't think of a use for the time being, it's not bad to pile it up and use it as a bed. ”

"Ah?" Sui Xiong was stunned and couldn't help but think of a famous legend.

Then, he thought of the use of the money.

A few days later.

"No! No! Let me go! Let me go!" Hao hugged his beloved quilt tightly and shouted, "I'll stay here! I'm not going anywhere! Let me go! Let me go!"

Probably because he had unleashed his potential, Jerad couldn't pull her away after several attempts, but he was panting from exhaustion.

Seeing this, Sui Xiong had no choice but to take action himself and rolled up her and the quilt with his huge tentacles.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu don't keep your words! You clearly agreed to let me see the maze..." Xie, who thought he was going to lose this lucrative job, cried loudly, and his tears fell on the ground drop by drop, splashing a lot of dust.

A few minutes later, they came to a newly built cave by Sui Xiong. It was similar to the previous one, only deeper. At the back of the cave, there is a teleportation array leading to the ground, which can facilitate travel.

"This is your new home." Sui Xiong put Lai down, "I just want to help you change your bed."

Hail's eyes widened, looking at the pile of gold coins in front of her that was almost bigger than her body. Although her tears hadn't dried yet, she was already laughing wildly.

She jumped out with an agility that even shocked Sui Xiong, lay down on the pile of gold coins, and used her claws to slide through the pile of gold coins as if swimming, laughing happily.
