Chapter 514: The Fountain of Youth

Wo Bu Geng Xin
Fire Dragon, who was stargazing, felt a wand pressing against the back of his heart.
His hand on the crystal ball stopped.At this moment, the entire stargazing room fell into suffocating silence.
"You are the undercover."
The fire dragon's voice didn't sound like there was any emotion like regret, annoyance, or anger.That kind of inner peace is obviously not an act.Rabbit took a deep breath, and then said: "Yes, I am the undercover. I'm glad you didn't use the word traitor to describe me."
"You were raised by me, right? When you were still a minor noble. At that time, the Poli family must have been on the verge of collapse. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to find you."
The fire dragon was a little confused.He is a prophet.But the prophet doesn't know everything.Some people may have strong anti-prophetic qualities, such as the so-called 'variables' like Luke Gunter.Or there are some powerful wizards or prophets, they are difficult to spy on.However, Mr. Rabbit, Rhett Polley, is obviously not such a person.
Was his snooping back then misguided?
"Coincidence. I have always admired Lord Grindelwald's thoughts. Before you came to me, a saint came to me. He called himself Orson and was Lord Grindelwald's envoy. He wanted to be in Germany There was an informant left in the aristocratic circle. So he found me."
Rhett Pauley said with emotion: "It didn't take long before you and Phoenix approached me. The price you offered was equally attractive. It wasn't because I didn't know you that I chose to shelve my communication with you. I went to contact Mr. Orson.”
"Mr. Orson said that he heard about a man wearing a fire dragon mask from Lord Grindelwald. He also said that if this is the case, then I will join your organization with peace of mind, so that I can deepen my understanding of this organization. Just in case of emergency needs.”
"To be honest, I was a little nervous at the beginning. I always acted cautiously. But I never expected that the management within the organization would be so loose. Although I later discovered that you were actually monitoring each of us. But the looseness down there still makes it impossible for you to truly understand the secrets of each of us."
When Rhett Poli said this, he couldn't help but shook his head.He could clearly feel the contradiction in the fire dragon.The attitude of not caring about everything, as if life is enough, and the state of being cautious about everything, and may explode at any time, can almost exist in this person at the same time.Rhett Bolley once thought the man was crazy.The fire dragon is nothing more than a sane madman.
But later, he gradually concluded the fire dragon's logic.
"Later I came up with a rather outrageous guess. We did that. But you didn't feel surprised or nervous at all. It was like you had seen the situation like this before. You should have even experienced it yourself. And the things you handle with caution are things you haven’t seen before.”
"When I first had this idea, I just smiled. After all, you have been calm for too long. It even gave me the feeling that you have taken everything lightly. If a person has seen these things and accidents . Then how long did this person live? But every time you see something new, that kind of attitude really makes me feel confused, or doubtful. "
"Until one time...or, until a few years ago. I met Nico Flamel."
Rhett Poli looked at the fire dragon and said seriously: "When I met Nico Flamel, I felt like I saw your shadow in him. His plain feeling is the same as what you give him. I felt the same way. Then I started investigating the previous idea."
"Finally, I got something."
"What's the harvest?" Fire Dragon asked curiously.
"Oakline family. You were once friends with the patriarch of this family. I bought their family's castle, and in a secret room, I saw a portrait. It was you."
Fire Dragon raised his head slightly, and it was clear that he was thinking. After a moment, he nodded and said: "O'Klain, yes, Marlene O'Klain. That woman... I told her clearly to forget about me. .”
It sounded like a touching love story, but Rhett Pauley didn't hear any nostalgia or sadness at all.Fire Dragon's tone was still calm, at best a little helpless.
"That painting from more than 500 years ago gave me the answer. So, I started looking for the reason why you can survive." Rhett Pauley continued, "It definitely won't be the Philosopher's Stone. After all, the Philosopher's Stone can create I have also seen the eternal life. It is nothing more than the body turning into a cage for the soul, in order to refuse the call of death."
"I searched for a long time and finally found some clues."
"You have a hidden bottle, don't you?"
After saying these words, the fire dragon turned his head and glanced at Rhett Polly behind him from the corner of his eye.
"How did you know this news?"
"You always feel that you can hide secrets well. But secrets cannot withstand scrutiny, let alone discussion. Do you know? In fact, when you told me, Luke Gunter's people bribed I'm not surprised at all when it comes to your minions. You trust those people too much. People are not worthy of trust. Especially those who know a little about the secrets and know something is wrong, but can't tell why. They It’s the most dangerous.”
"Because the half-baked information will be completed in their minds and become a version that even you don't understand. And it will be regarded as the truth by them."
"You know what? Because of their slow aging, some of them think it's a curse you put on them."
"Curse?" Fire Dragon was obviously confused, "Why?"
"So, you know too little about them. They haven't aged for many years. The youngest one has lived for more than 100 years. Do you know? They will continue to live and watch. Those friends, relatives, and lovers who once had a good relationship with me are dying of old age, but I am living in this world like a monster. More importantly, even if they live for 100 or 200 years, they... are still you. Servant."
"Perhaps many of your servants will not react excessively to this matter. But even if there is only one, he will want to kill you and gain his own freedom and liberation."
Rhett Pauley shook his head with some regret: "You don't understand, and actually I don't understand very well either. But obviously, living like this is already like torture to them. And you are obviously the one who makes them live like this. enemy."
The fire dragon fell silent.He doesn't understand.The things he worked so hard to pursue were given to these people.In the end, they hated themselves because of this.Isn’t immortality a gift?
"I haven't done many good deeds, but what I thought was the greatest kindness actually led to the greatest betrayal? This betrayal wasn't even due to greed?"
The fire dragon couldn't help laughing.Obviously he was a little bit dumbfounded by this situation.
"Perhaps, it's best not to impose on others what you like. What's the old Eastern saying? 'Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.' Right? Now it seems, don't do to others what you want others to do to you." It also holds true when applied to others.”
"Tuk Tuk Tuk."
There was a knock on the door, and Angel's voice sounded outside the door.
"Rhett. Have you found out the result? Orson should have entered the prison."
Rhett Polly did not answer immediately, but continued to say to the fire dragon: "Mr. Doragon, please tell me where the Fountain of Youth is. As long as you tell me, this time, we will not take your life." There will be a chance to meet again on the battlefield in the future.”
"Human beings...are truly magical things."
The fire dragon said with emotion: "Even after so many years, I still haven't seen the human heart clearly."
Rhett Pauley suddenly had a bad feeling, and he immediately wanted to leave.But his feet seemed to be caught by something.He looked down and found that at some point, there was a puddle of water under his feet.And his feet were stuck in the water, unable to move.
The wand in his hand lit up, and the red spell hit the fire dragon, but it didn't feel like it hit the entity.At the same time, Rhett Pauley shouted: "Angel! Come on!"
There was a sound of breaking the door, and after the wooden door flew away, Angel walked in with his wand raised.But what caught his eyes was this scene.
Rhett Pauley's body began to age visibly to the naked eye.The red 'Expelliarmus' penetrated the fire dragon's body and hit the ground, but it had no other effect.The face under the half mask has begun to show wrinkles visible to the naked eye.
Angel waved his wand without hesitation, and a huge fireball emerged from the tip of the wand, hitting the fire dragon in the direction.
The fire dragon quickly let go of Rhett Poli, and like a slime, he bounced and landed on the astrological disk on the ceiling.
"Hahaha. You have indeed exceeded my expectations. However, children, there are many things in the world that you have never seen. After all, if you want to see these things, you often have to live a long time. "
When it comes to living a long life, other things may not bring it, only knowledge is the real deal.
"You want a bottle, right? That thing is in my room. Go find it. Hahaha! I hope that's what you want!"
The light of the astrological disk lit up, and the face made of water disappeared into the astrological disk.
Angel watched the fire dragon leave, his eyes filled with solemnity.
Something went wrong.Damn it...that's not even human!
But Angel didn't think so much now. He ran in the direction of Rhett Poli in three steps and two steps at a time.After helping Rhett Bolley up from the ground, he took off the mask on Rhett Bolley's face.
"hiss……"
Angel couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.The scene in front of him was much more exaggerated than he imagined.The face of Rhett Polly in front of him already had the face of a middle-aged man, and there were even strands of gray hair on his head.It seems like decades have passed in an instant.
If Angel remembers correctly, Rhett Bolley is only 27 years old this year.
"Ah, ah..."
Rhett Pauley's mouth opened and closed, but he never managed to squeeze out a complete syllable.
"Hey, Rhett, Rhett, are you okay?"
While calling Rhett Poli, Angel took out a bottle of potion to replenish physical strength from his arms and quickly drank it for Rhett Poli.In his current situation, apart from getting older, the other problem should be loss of strength.
I am speechless and have no strength left.
After drinking the potion, Rhett Pauley's breathing became noticeably stronger.After a while, it returned to normal.
He opened his eyes, looked at his wrinkled hands, touched his face, and closed his eyes in pain.
"It's no problem, we will find a way to remedy it."
Angel quickly comforted Rhett.However, Rhett did not give Angel a response on this issue. After being silent for a while, he immediately struggled to stand up.
"Let's go to Doragon's room. The Fountain of Youth should be there."
Angel looked at the rickety figure, suppressed the unbearable feeling in his heart, and asked, "Is it possible that he is talking nonsense?"
"According to what I know about him, it shouldn't be..." At this point, Rhett Pauley suddenly smiled bitterly, "Although it seems that I actually don't know much about him."
"But we have to go take a look. My gut tells me we'll get something."
Angel had no choice but to look at Rhett Poli, who was already walking towards the door, and could only follow him.
It didn't take long for them to find the gold bottle engraved with a skull in Doragon's room.
Angel opened the cork and found that there was indeed water inside, the kind of water that gave him a rather strange feeling.When he opened the cork, at that moment, he saw the hunger in Rhett's eyes.It seems like that thing can complement some parts of him.
However, Rhett's extended hand was finally pressed down by himself.
"Okay. This should be it. You should leave first. Go and return to life with Mr. Orson."
Rhett Pauley said to Angel.
"What about you? Are you okay?"
Angel asked with concern.Rhett Pauley shook his head, then sighed and said: "After all, he is an undercover agent, so he should bear some price. To be honest, after he attacked me, the guilt in my heart has disappeared. See you next time , I will make him pay back double the amount."
Angel noticed his forced smile and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Rhett Polley who raised his hand.
"That's enough...Mr. Angel, let me take a rest."
His hand on the crystal ball stopped.At this moment, the entire stargazing room fell into suffocating silence.
"You are the undercover."
The fire dragon's voice didn't sound like there was any emotion like regret, annoyance, or anger.That kind of inner peace is obviously not an act.Rabbit took a deep breath, and then said: "Yes, I am the undercover. I'm glad you didn't use the word traitor to describe me."
"You were raised by me, right? When you were still a minor noble. At that time, the Poli family must have been on the verge of collapse. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to find you."
The fire dragon was a little confused.He is a prophet.But the prophet doesn't know everything.Some people may have strong anti-prophetic qualities, such as the so-called 'variables' like Luke Gunter.Or there are some powerful wizards or prophets, they are difficult to spy on.However, Mr. Rabbit, Rhett Polley, is obviously not such a person.
Was his snooping back then misguided?
"Coincidence. I have always admired Lord Grindelwald's thoughts. Before you came to me, a saint came to me. He called himself Orson and was Lord Grindelwald's envoy. He wanted to be in Germany There was an informant left in the aristocratic circle. So he found me."
