The cemetery is even quieter at night, and the courtyard next to the cemetery is of course needless to say.
The flickering dim light coming from the blurred glass was, in a sense, even scarier than the cemetery.
There is only one house in the courtyard, which is divided into two parts, with Julian and the undead old man each occupying one half.
The two of them did not go straight to the old undead man's room. After all, they were not particularly familiar with each other. They knew each other more through Julian as a medium.
So Irene took Li Wen to find Julian first. After a while, Julian's mental outlook changed a lot.
From her body, the skinny, paranoid and crazy research weirdo look that she had when we first met her is completely invisible.
Wearing a long black dress and sitting quietly on the chair, she looked like a noble lady from a famous family that had been passed down for more than a hundred years.
The temperament is quiet and elegant.
"Oh~"
Aileen smiled at Li Wen and explained: "My master's wish has come true. Now she has recognized the fact that she does not have much talent. Instead of pursuing those vain things, it is better to enjoy the rest of her life."
Julian's wise and old eyes swept over Li Wen's body. There was no longer the longing for talent in his eyes, but only some kind of pure blessing.
"It's so late, why are you here?"
Erin moved closer to Julian.
"Master, you are the one, why are you still up so late? Didn't you say you should have a good rest and take good care of your body?"
Julian smiled kindly and shook his head gently.
"I'm listening to my inner voice."
Li Wen pulled up a chair and sat across from her, curiously asking: "What's the sound?"
"The sound of life."
Li Wen looked interested, "Huh?"
Seeing that Li Wen had forgotten his original intention and seemed to be saying something incomprehensible to her master again, Irene quickly winked at Li Wen from behind Julian.
Li Wen pretended not to see it at all.
Julian looked at the unclean moonlight outside the window, his dark pupils slightly lost in thought.
"I don't know if it's because I'm getting old, but I've been thinking about some messy things these past two days..."
"What about?"
"For example, does our blood contain most of our life force?"
Coming to this different world, it is a fact that the blood of some creatures does contain strange vitality and power.
Li Wen dare not say what kind of DNA human life is purely composed of. This kind of similar knowledge should be studied by the mages of the necromantic faction.
Why did Julian suddenly remember this now?
"Any other ideas?"
"You think that if you can live forever, what should you do to make it meaningful?"
There was no emotion in Julian's tone, only water-like calmness.
Could it be that she started to want to switch to the undead faction when she got older?
Or was it because he lived with that undead old man all day long and was influenced by what he heard and saw?
Irene listened behind her master, feeling terrified.
This is also the reason why she found Li Wen.
A master like this always makes her feel strange and scared.
The crazy academic lunatic from before is more likeable and familiar to people.
In the past few days, not only the undead old man, but also the master seemed to be a little strange, so she had been waiting in the library for several days without knowing where Li Wen lived.
Li Wen ignored Irene's various little looks and just looked at Julian's face and asked.
"So you want to live forever?"
As far as he knows, reaching a high level of cultivation, or some strange high-level spell effects, can give people a longer life.
But longevity... I have never heard of it.
No living thing can escape death.
Even elves with an average age of seven to eight hundred years will die one day.
Maybe you can become a god.
However, the priesthood is limited, and becoming a god is almost impossible in this era... especially after the arcane incident that almost destroyed an entire era.
Normal people generally don't put their thoughts on immortality.
It's okay to be verbally excited for a while, but right now...Julian doesn't look like he's purely verbally excited when he says these words.
There must be some change in them that they don't understand.
In front of him, facing Li Wen's question, Julian was slightly startled and shook his head in confusion.
"have no idea."
The more I hear it, the weirder it gets.
Li Wen couldn't stand Irene's crazy facial performance behind Julian, so he still asked about their original intention of coming here.
"I heard from Eileen that the old man bought a lot of chickens and ducks, bled them and didn't eat them, and threw them all in a pile. Instead of letting those corpses rot, why don't you let him give me some?"
Julian glanced in the direction of the next door.
"You can go find him yourself. It's not like you don't know him."
Irene even realized something was wrong, there was no reason why she didn't notice it.
So weird...
Li Wen and Irene exited Julian's room, and Irene was a little confused.
"What should I do..."
Li Wen pursed his lips at the old man's door.
"Just go find him directly."
The old undead man didn't seem to have changed much. When he saw Li Wen and Irene coming late at night, he just muttered some unpleasant words.
However... the strong smell of blood and a slight smell of decaying corpses in the room made both Irene and Li Wen frown for a moment.
"You..."
Before she finished speaking, Eileen "vomited" and couldn't help but turned around and ran away outside.
"Cowards who dare not face the truth..."
The old man made a disdainful sound from his mouth.
Li Wen wasn't much better. He took a general look at the old man's room and found that it was no different from the past, except... beside his workbench, there seemed to be a few chicken and duck carcasses thrown carelessly.
"I heard that you bought a lot of chickens and ducks but didn't eat them. After killing them, you piled them up there. Why don't you give me some and let me go back and make soup for my mother?"
"Oh... take whatever you want, they are all piled up in the yard outside. Go get it yourself."
"OK."
After taking a final look at the old man's home, I found nothing strange, and the old man didn't show any signs of guilt.
After randomly picking up two corpses among the piles of corpses that formed a hill in the yard, Li Wen and Irene left the yard.
"Did you notice anything wrong?"
Li Wen broke open the chicken and duck carcasses in his hands and found that the fatal wounds were all on the neck.
Looking at the traces, Li Wen raised his eyebrows and suddenly put the neck of the chicken and duck carcass in front of Irene, "Come and take a bite."
Erin stayed away in disgust, "I don't want it."
"Don't forget it..."
"Then what did you discover?"
Li Wen opened his eyes and told lies, "No."
"Oh~"
Eileen responded and didn't take it too seriously.
Irene herself didn't know which ratio was greater rather than worrying about her master or finding an excuse to come to Li Wen.
So he turned to talking about other things in a low voice.
"I just heard... you want to take the chicken and duck back to make soup for your mother? I... I can make soup too..."
Li Wen curled his lips and replied: "I have no mother."
When he got home, Li Wen felt like there were ants crawling on his body.
So weird.
It's really weird.
The injuries on the chicken and duck carcasses cannot be said to be very similar to the marks left by human teeth, they can only be said to be exactly the same.
Combined with Julian's words...
Yes!
Julian's words!
Li Wen knew something else was strange.
Looking back, it can be seen from the content and tone of her words that Julian seems to be sure that she can live forever, as long as she wants to...
