The Modern Age of the Mysterious

Dalfinch took a deep breath, and seemed to muster up enough courage to continue telling the story: "At that time, all I could think about was 'eternal life'.

"Because I left dear Ollie in the world, and I'm dying myself, I'm so afraid she'll be alone...

"Of course, this may just be my excuse." He raised his eyes tiredly and said with a wry smile, "Maybe I just found a perfect reason for my greed for life.

"In short, after achieving Olivia's immortality, I also want to escape death."

The old man didn't seem to be in a good condition, and Olivia looked at him worriedly. He patted the back of his granddaughter's hand with a smile, saying that he was fine: "Before that, that fellow Flamel made the philosopher's stone. I exchanged one of my life's efforts with him for a bit of the dawn-colored stone." substance."

Another touchstone. Sean blinked.

How would Mr. Finch feel if he knew that the Philosopher's Stone had been destroyed? However, such news would interrupt his narrative, so Sean chose to remain silent.

"In short, although the Philosopher's Stone can fulfill people's wishes, it cannot satisfy people's wishes for eternal life."

yes. Xiao En thought to himself: Only the carrier of the Philosopher's Stone has obtained the curse called "eternal life"... How can the wish of ordinary doses be fulfilled?

"Although I know this, I still want to use the power of the Philosopher's Stone to realize my wish—maybe I am overconfident in my own thinking...

"Using the Philosopher's Stone as the core raw material and adding some ancient prescriptions, I made a bottle of immortality potion. Because the dosage is too small to conduct experiments, I dare not drink it when I am healthy. Until I die due to illness...

"After going through a lot of ideological struggle, I finally made up my mind. I figured out a way to fake my own death, and then hid on the labyrinth island, dragging my sick body and drinking the potion.

"The good news is that I recovered. I can even walk around the labyrinth island like I was when I was young. However, the terrible side effects appeared soon..."

Speaking of which, Dalfinch seems to have consumed a lot of energy. His breathing became short of breath and he couldn't continue for a long time.

After a long delay, he spoke again, looking at Sean with his eyes, as if he was recalling a nightmare: "You have already witnessed the side effects—I lost my memory and became...become..."

Turned into a mud-like...monster. Sean blinked pitifully. Although it is not dead, it is difficult to call it "alive".

"In short, I became like that, wandering around the labyrinth island for hundreds of years...then, I met...Mr. Tesler, and you."

"Then, what's going on with this abyss?"

"This was originally the entrance and exit of the labyrinth island to the outside world. I don't know how it got here, maybe it was created by a certain god.

"In short, before the mechanism of entering and exiting the island was designed, even before the establishment of Maze Island, this passage was here, and I also arrived here through this passage.

"Presumably you have already experienced the process of deconstructing your body into concepts when walking through this passage. I think, maybe it is this deconstruction process that makes the side effects of the immortality potion on me disappear.

"I stayed here in the form of a concept, and I no longer have to experience the feeling that my body is melting every second as mud..." 懐

The story of the old man has come to an end here. Although his memory didn't fully recover, he somehow recalled Olivia and his own origin. This is already very rare.

"I still remember the moment when my appearance melted away not long after I drank the potion, and I felt all hopeless..." Dalfinch still held his granddaughter's hand tightly, "I thought that I might never see Ollie, and, I'm afraid I've lost even the chance to escape from death...

"However, God has mercy far beyond ordinary people's imagination..." the old man cried, he took off his glasses and wiped his tears with the back of his hand, like a child who has done something wrong, "When I committed a crime because of my greed for life After making a mistake like that, he still gave me the peaceful time I have now. Even let me travel through such a long time to see you again, Ollie..."

"I am interested in too many things. Except for you, I have hardly completed any work in my life; I am too dull to understand the will of God...But He still showed great mercy and grace to me like this...

"Oli, for you and for him, I will no longer be tempted by eternal life..."

Seeing an old man express his heart, Sean's heart was also touched.

Did Darfinch commit any serious crimes? Sean doesn't think so. He was just like everyone else, terrified of death. The only difference is that his great mind has put his longing for immortality into practice. sluggish

However, after wandering for four hundred years, he finally gave up his life for himself and Tesler. And it was that sacrifice that ended his torment, and even allowed him to reunite with Olivia.

Sean was filled with emotion. Perhaps the real **** is in people's hearts: when people choose to be greedy and persistent, pain comes. But redemption comes when people decide to let go, even sacrificing themselves for others...

Looking at the old man who is still crying and hugging Olivia...all this is clearly and truly displayed in front of my eyes.

The old man gradually calmed down and sighed deeply. Then, he started to ask about Olivia's situation, and while she was talking, he was surprised to learn that Sean was the new reader.

"So young?" Dalfinci looked at Sean in surprise, but his eyes quickly calmed down, "However, he is indeed an extraordinary soul..."

"You have taken good care of Ollie~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Your bond is very deep." The old man smiled, "Only a pure heart can endow my dear Ollie with such rich and beautiful emotions .Although I haven’t witnessed your story with my own eyes, I know, I know all of you.” Dalfinch nodded affirmatively, expressing his affirmation and gratitude to Sean.

"There are young people like you in school, it seems that I, an old man, don't need to worry about it..." He sighed easily. sluggish

Speaking of this, Xiao En suddenly remembered that there were some questions that he had to ask the living "history" in front of him...

The return of the Holy Father in 1506, the tampered Earthsea Scroll, the unclear face on the High Heavenly Throne, and the terrifying things that invaded the Labyrinth Island...

Thousands of clues stretch out in the fog of history, and Sean can only choose the most important one to ask first: "Mr. Finch, what happened between the church and the book club? Why did they pollute the labyrinth island after you passed away?" , and even broke into the Liming Library?"

The Dawn Library is the most important building in the Labyrinth Island, which contains important knowledge enough to enlighten mankind. The last time Sean was on the Labyrinth Island, he listened to the story of Dalfinch's disciple Mel, and knew that something terrible attacked him after Dalfinch's death and invaded the Labyrinth Island. In the end, the super-Ace-level existence was locked in the library—after four hundred years, it is still alive...
