Lord of Glory

Waves of screams rang out in the basement. At this time, not only Paladin's arms, but even his whole body! They are all aging rapidly. Not long after, Paladin, who was originally in his prime, had turned into an old man in his twilight years.

Paladin stood up tremblingly, looking at his bark-like hands with a look of disbelief on his face, touching his cheek. Suddenly I felt that my face was definitely no better than the bark of a tree. With a look of fear on his face, Paladin immediately pulled up his hood over his face, ran out of the basement with weak feet, and headed straight to his room. He had to confirm what he had become.

Slamming the door shut, he hurriedly took out the dusty mirror, ignoring the dust on it. After wiping it away, Paladin instantly fell into unknown fear: "Are you kidding me? What is this? What is this!"

In that mirror, there was an old man with white hair, an old look, a gray beard and a frightened look on his face! And this old man is exactly the reflection of Paladin's appearance at this time! Paladin couldn't calm down well after such a big change. He only saw him taking a few steps back lightly, sitting down on the stool, his panicked eyes moving left and right, and he couldn't help but murmur to himself:

"Getting old! This is the phenomenon of overdraft of life. Why is this happening? Did I eat something wrong? No, no. Or someone wants to harm me! Is it Noson? No, he doesn't have the strength yet. Wait! Yes! Maurice! It must be him, he is so powerful..."

Paladin, who was speculating in confusion, suddenly came back to his senses, slapped himself in the face, and murmured more and more panicked: "Calm down, calm down! I have to calm down. It won't work like this, I have a hard time. After gaining power, how can it stop here? Wait! Power!" Paladin suddenly had an epiphany and looked down at the crystallized blood vessels and palm on his right hand. I recall in my mind the words that the professor reiterated over and over again when I was attending a class at the Free Masons: "Everything in the world has a price. You have to pay as much as you want to get."

"How much have you paid..." Paladin's tone gradually became bitter, but his eyes were clearer than ever before: "It turns out that I haven't paid enough. Far from enough." Paladin's eyes seemed to have some understanding, with determination and ruthlessness. He said softly with a spicy meaning: "If my life is really exhausted because of the fusion of light elements, then can the philosopher's stone, which is originally refined from human life, help me replenish my life? My current body is like an empty body. Like a shell, powerless and weak. I believe that in a few days, I may die of old age."

Paladin, who said this, suddenly raised his hand and looked at the slowly flowing crystallization above, with a ferocious expression on his face: "Then let's do it tonight, just tonight! For my life and my future!" If you look closely at this time, you will even find that in the eyes of the aging Paladin, apart from moving forward without any worries, he has no worries.

Night gradually enveloped this rich and peaceful town. What a miraculous coincidence is that whatever shameful things you do, you always choose to do it in the dark. Rather than avoiding being discovered, it is better to say that the dark night can give people a sense of security. Perhaps the Paladin is both, dressed in a floor-length black robe. Instead of showing off his usual gentleness, he quietly sneaked into a cloth-buying shop where he slept under a dark light. Paladin, whose life and death was at stake, simply had no time or mood to sift through raw materials. With the idea that he could still grab some money, he used an iron rod to pry open the closed door of the shop and slipped in quickly.

Although it was dark night, under the moonlight, Paladin could still clearly see that the glass counters on both sides were filled with fine fabrics. But his mind was not here, but the family sleeping in the room inside. Clicking, clicking, and gently pushing the door open, Paladin suddenly saw a huge double bed, an old couple sleeping in each other's arms, with a swaddled baby in the middle, sucking sweetly. Thumbs up.

I don’t know if I was eating fresh milk in my dream or something. But none of this has anything to do with Paladin. With a gentle step, he walked to the window and carefully took out two handkerchiefs coated with the anesthetic left by Northen. When he was about to cover their mouths and noses with his hands. The baby who was sleeping soundly suddenly woke up. When he saw a strange old man with a ferocious face standing in front of him, he immediately started crying in fear!

Paladin's expression changed instantly! The two couples gradually opened their tired eyes, and saw Paladin in surprise. Just when he was about to scream subconsciously, Paladin's heart became cruel, and he immediately covered the mouths and noses of the two couples with two handkerchiefs! The couple immediately struggled violently, but the anesthetic prepared by Northen was extremely powerful, but they became confused and fainted while breathing.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" But the baby cried more and more intensely. Paladin thought about it and vaguely saw the lights on outside. He was afraid of being caught by passers-by, so he immediately picked up the handkerchief in panic and covered the baby's mouth and nose! But there were still faint sounds of crying coming out through the handkerchief. Panic-stricken, Paladin was frightened. With a flick of his fingers, he stuffed the handkerchief into the baby's mouth! Don't stop until there is no more sound.

Bang bang, the cautious Paladin quietly walked to the window. When he saw the people outside because he couldn't hear the sound, he cursed a few words sleepily, then blew out the candle again and went to sleep. Then he breathed a deep sigh of relief. My old body cannot withstand such exertion. A thin layer of sweat broke out on Paladin's forehead.

The exhausted Paladin panted heavily, turned around and took a look, and was instantly petrified on the spot. I saw the baby on the bed. At this time, his whole body was stiff and motionless, his round eyes were staring at the ceiling, and his purple face all indicated the unfortunate death of this baby who had just come into the world. Paladin swallowed deeply, took the handkerchief out of the baby's mouth and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Start searching for jewelry and money in this shop. Paladin feels guilty, having just killed a baby by mistake. But anyway, in that case, this may be the only outcome. Thinking of the tempting Philosopher's Stone, Paladin's ignited guilt and conscience instantly dissipated.

After a crackling sound, Paladin looked at the three pieces of silver jewelry and thirty-five gold coins in his hand, and couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on his face. Gaining huge wealth easily is exciting and exciting for everyone. Paladin is no exception.

But the most important thing now is to turn the two couples into philosopher's stones on the spot. Because he clearly felt that all the strength and stamina in his body was rapidly passing away. He even believed that it wouldn't be long before he might not even have the strength to stand.

PS: First of all, I wish everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival! Although we shouldn't be happy when Qu Yuan jumped into the river, we can have one more day off thanks to him~~

Furthermore, why is the book review section so deserted? It's been a week... No one has spoken, even if they're scolding me.
