Chapter five hundred and forty-eight extra small gifts(1/2)
When Mu Zhong graduated from Supernatural Academy, "Pomsen" was approaching his age. He has been graduating for fourteen years now, and many of the old professors he knew have died.
Each of those great magicians has super-level abilities, but they all choose to move towards transcendence as humans.
....
After the old store manager cried enough, Mu Zhong comforted: "An old professor who is as respectable as Pomsen once told me, 'Human transcendence is reincarnation'. For us, who are both humans, he is not much different from a living super-level person, and they are very far away from us. You are sad for his death, he is happy for his choice, and he is like you, always a human being."
“…”
The old store manager wiped the tears from his face and gasped for a while, "Garfield, what you said makes sense. Lord Pomsen never cares about the length of his life. He always says he wants to do what he likes. He likes to be a human. This is the ending he likes... I should be happy for Lord Pomsen..."
After choking for a while, he said again, "Garfield... can you tell me about Lord Pomsen?"
"sure."
“…”
Next, Mu Zhong tried his best to tell the old store manager everything he knew about and what he knew about Professor Pomsen.
The old store manager's eyes turned red when he heard this, and often couldn't help but shed tears again.
...
Mu Zhong knew only a limited amount of knowledge. After more than an hour of speaking, he finished talking about everything in his memory.
As soon as the words stopped, both of them calmed down, and they each reminisce about the things that were filled with their hearts...
After a long time.
The old store manager breathed a sigh of relief and asked Youyou: "Garfield, how many days do you think I have?"
Mu Zhong paused: "...Isn't this good to ask?"
"Ha~ Why do you care about my feelings? Just say it."
Mu Zhong smiled: "It's probably less than ten years."
"I've said too much." The old store manager picked up his pen and slowly wrote on the letter paper, while continuing: "I think I may have a few months left."
"No matter how much you underestimate it, it's too few months."
The old store manager stopped pen and showed a soft smile on his old face: "Garfield, I want to know how long I can live, so that it will facilitate me to arrange some funerals... Orcs are not like humans. Humans can have more than ten years of time to get used to getting older, and orcs often say that they are really old."
“…”
Seeing that the other party was really concerned, Mu Zhong stopped perfunctory and said, "If you don't get sick, I think... you still have three or four years."
If you get sick, it may be only a few months.
The old store manager shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Haha~ It seems that I can read a few more books."
There is nothing to say.
——Mu Zhong said goodbye: "Old store manager, I'll go back first. I'll come here next time and add a few new books to you."
The old store manager: "Oh, don't hide the new book in the bookshelf next time. My eyes are getting old, and it would be a waste not to find it."
Mu Zhong waved his hand with a smile, and the magic "space teleportation" was activated, and his figure disappeared here.
With one person missing, there is a "lonely" artistic conception in the library.
...
...
In the cold forest.
Mu Zhong sat on the sofa, holding a cup of hot coffee in his hand, looking out the window, his mood was floating.
‘Human transcendence is reincarnation.’
——This sentence is quite simple to say from a super-level person, but if it were replaced by a human being, it would probably be an obscure philosophical discourse.
Most humans cannot face death calmly.
Tonight, Mu Zhong told the old store manager about Professor Pomson.
The old store manager followed Pomson when he was young and respected Pomson for most of his life.
Whether intentionally or not, what Mu Zhong said really fills an important vacancy in the hearts of the old store manager and even in his life.
The old store manager is now following Bomson's back and gradually moving towards transcendence...
"The final ending..."
"The old store manager walked to Professor Bomson's side..."
"This is the perfect ending of life..."
“…”
The touch of emotion gathered in Mu Zhong's heart, and then turned into a hot stream, rushing into his eyes.
He felt his eyes wet, and then two "Valkyrie Tears" appeared in front of him.
Looking at these two newly born 'tears', Mu Zhong rubbed his hair: "Strange, although I was a little moved, I didn't cry yet, right?"
"Why did tears suddenly pop up?"
“…”
——The formation of the "Valkyrie Tears" is related to "emotion", and "shearing tears" is mainly just a formality.
...
Drink coffee overnight.
The next morning.
Mu Zhong came to the ice and snowy area of the cold forest, found the "frozen teeth grass" here, cut some, and used them to squeeze the grass juice.
And just as he was squeezing grass juice, Xiao Qingshuang appeared silently.
Xiao Qingshuang's emotional voice suddenly rang: "Master Mu, what are you doing?"
“?!”
Mu Zhong did not let go of his perception, so he did not find that he was approached.
He was startled first, then turned around, reached out and pinched the other person's little nose: "Xiao Qingshuang, I want to ask what you are doing? He walked silently, do you want to scare me?"
"Mr. Mu, there is no sound when I walk in the snow and ice." - a nasal sound.
"Oh... I forgot that you are the Ice Girl. Why didn't you play with Kassia today?"
"The little teacher has something to do."
"Then what are you doing now?"
"I'm looking for a snow rabbit."
"What do you want to do with rabbits?"
“Grilled rabbit.”
"Be careful, don't eat rabbits very much, and try not to find rabbits with family."
Xiao Qingshuang turned her face and reluctantly said: "Oh..."
...
After Master Mu was so arrogant, he talked about what he was making, "These ice-blue grass is called 'frozen teeth grass'. Its juice is very sweet. You can squeeze it directly and drink it, or you can add water to dilute it and drink it."
As he said that, he handed over a bottle of grass juice he had squeezed over, "I'll give you this bottle of grass juice. If you like it, try it yourself."
"Oh~ Thank you Mr. Mu~"
The voice was dispersed and there was no respect for "Master Mu".
Mr. Mu pinched her nose again, then quickly squeezed the remaining grass, turned into a white light, and flew away.
Xiao Qingshuang was still there. She held a bottle of grass juice and raised it to her mouth, licking it with her tongue curiously.
The sweet smell immediately fills the teeth.
She was as surprised as if she had discovered wild braised fish: "Oh--"
——The end of the ‘Adult Frozen Tooth Grass’ has arrived.
...
On the other side.
Mu Zhong brought the squeezed frozen tooth grass juice to the "Hidden Bird Forest".
They are all old neighbors, and as soon as he came here, he found the "master" here.
After a few greetings between the two sides, Mu Zhong went straight to the topic: "Old Val, I have a small idea, please give me an idea."
“…”
Old Val was also not surprised by this 'thought-all' neighbor, "What's the idea?"
"I have a human friend who is almost out of reach. I want him to have a healthy old age, so I plan to use frozen tooth grass juice to dilute a drop of 'Eternal Wine' and give it to him. Do you think it's OK?"
To be continued...
