Chapter 1544 Millennium
Although this play is just a fantasy, the story itself is not fictional.
In other words, Alex is a real person.
Although Granny Nail didn't know who Alex was in the story, she had an inexplicable hunch in her heart that even if Alex and "him" were not the same person, there must be some kind of connection.
"Then can you tell me where the story takes place? And the protagonist Alex, where is he now?" Granny Nail's voice was very soft. Although there was no big emotional ups and downs, Angel never heard it. There was an urgent but cautious tone in her inquiry.
Under the expectant eyes of Granny Nail, Angel shook his head: "I don't know either."
This answer made it difficult for Granny Nail to hide her disappointment: "Then why do you know this story? And how do you confirm that it is true?"
Angel looked at Granny Nail quietly.
In Angel's impression, Granny Nail is a calm, powerful and mysterious witch surrounded by a lot of fog.
He had never seen so many mood swings in Granny Nail.
This made Angel more and more curious. After thinking about it, he replied: "Before I answer these questions, can I know why my mother-in-law cares so much about Alex?"
After a pause, Angel whispered: "Do you know him, mother-in-law?"
Granny Nail fell into silence, seeming to be thinking about whether to tell Angel. When the castle-shaped mechanical clock not far away ticked three times, she broke the stagnant air.
However, the first sentence Granny Nail said had nothing to do with Angel's inquiry.
"Wifet should have agreed to trade with you, right?"
Angel was stunned for a while before he realized that Granny Nail was probably pointing to the lucky scroll in Wifet's hand.
Angel nodded: "That's right. Why did my mother-in-law mention this?"
Nail Granny: "Do you still remember what I warned you when you asked me about the roll of luck?"
Angel had indeed asked Granny Nail about the Scroll of Fortune. At that time Granny Nail showed a solemn expression for the first time and gave him a very solemn warning.
"Remember, you once warned me that luck is not real luck, it is just an infinite collapse of some choices that may lead to bad ones. Among the remaining choices, even if they seem to be positive opportunities, they may not be suitable; the abandoned bad ones Choice is not necessarily inappropriate. After all, good or bad cannot be generalized, but a chain reaction.”
Nail Granny lowered her eyebrows and whispered: "There is one more important thing to say."
Angel paused and said those words: "Especially when used in mysterious alchemy."
This is what Granny Nail warned Angel, warning him to try not to apply the Scroll of Luck to alchemy, especially mysterious alchemy.
Angel was a little suspicious at that time. Was it because Granny Nail gave such a solemn warning because something had happened?
It's a pity that Nail Granny didn't explain it at that time, but just gave such a conclusion.
Nail Granny: "The reason why I mentioned the Lucky Scroll is precisely because when the Lucky Scroll appeared, it was the beginning of his disaster."
Angel captured that Granny Nail mentioned a "he".
Could this "he" be Alex?
After Nail Granny sighed, she continued: "You have now become an official wizard and joined the R&D Institute, so you are qualified to know about this matter."
"It happened more than a thousand years ago"
Granny Nail's eyes were in a trance, as if she had returned to that familiar but distant era that she always saw repeatedly in her midnight dreams.
As Granny Nail spoke, Angel's expression slowly changed from surprised at the beginning to weird, and finally fell into deep thought.
In the story of Granny Nail, besides herself, there is another man.
Although Granny Nail didn't elaborate, Angel could tell from her gentle tone that this gentleman had a close relationship with Granny Nail. They might be the closest friends, or they might be lovers.
This man, like Granny Nail, is an alchemist, and not only is his talent extremely strong, but his alchemy skills have almost reached their peak. He can be said to be the strongest alchemist at the R&D Institute at that time.
When a career reaches its peak, there will inevitably be higher pursuits. He is the same, he wants to break through his alchemy skills and pursue a higher realm of mystery.
But in the realm of mystery, there are no shortcuts or direct doors.
After many years of research, he had some insights, but due to bad luck, he was always rejected by the mysterious. If he continues on this path, he may not be able to achieve what he wants in the future, but perhaps his youthful willfulness and eagerness for success made him a little impatient with the status quo. In the end, he decided to take a different approach and find another way.
So, he thought of something called a lucky scroll.
He listed a refining plan with the help of the Scroll of Luck. After repeated verification, the probability of success is extremely high.
After laying out the plan, he excitedly shared the news with Granny Nail and invited Granny Nail to be his alchemy assistant to help him refine mysterious things.
At that time, Nail Granny was still young and didn’t think too comprehensively. After hearing the wonderful prospects he described and his repeated assurances that the final result would be correct, she was persuaded and agreed to assist him in refining.
The final result was actually as he expected, it was really successful.
However, as Granny Nail warned Angel before, sometimes success is not necessarily a good thing, especially in refining mysterious objects.
Although it was successful, the nightmare came at the moment of success. This mysterious object that was refined was obviously different from other mysterious objects. As soon as it was born, it began to erode the surrounding world, change the rules, ignore the rules, and create rules.
In almost a short period of time, the surrounding space showed signs of collapse.
The law collapsed, everything withered, and life was gone forever!
At that time, he couldn't believe it at all. Why did such a strange change occur when he was obviously successful. At this most critical moment, he exhausted all his abilities and sent Granny Nail out of this collapsed world.
He himself fell into the closed space and fell into endless depravity.
This is the story told by Granny Nail, and it was also the reason why she warned Angel when she learned that Angel was looking for the mysterious scroll.
The reason why Angel was so surprised was because of the shock brought to him by this story.
But later, his expression changed from surprise to weirdness, because after Grandma Nail finished telling the story, she finally revealed the mystery.
In the story, the man who had a close relationship with her was named
Ivo Spreit.
For Angel, Ivo Spreit was not a strange name. Every time he went to the Fantasy Mechanical City of the Research and Development Institute, he could see an empty display box.
This display box was said to display a mysterious object. Unfortunately, the mysterious object had disappeared, and only a display box could be built to promote that someone in the Research and Development Institute had refined the mysterious object.
The temporary name of this mysterious object was the Box of Samsara, and the person who refined the Box of Samsara was Ivo Spreit.
Because the temporary name of "Box of Samsara" was too similar to the "Box of Samsara of the Dead" told by Frost. Because of this, Angel was actually very curious about it.
Last time when he went to the Fantasy Mechanical City, Angel asked the Water Pattern Witch to tell him about the story of the Reincarnation Box and Ivo, the Refiner. Unfortunately, the Water Pattern Witch didn't know much, but she suggested that Angel go to ask the "person involved".
The person involved she was talking about was Granny Nail.
Angel had originally planned to find an opportunity to ask Granny Nail about this, but unexpectedly, Granny Nail told the story first.
