Feeling the long-lost youth, Nielty couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and smiled, feeling deeply that extending his life was the right choice.
Just when she was feeling the joy of being young again, a rickety figure came in from outside.
"Creak..." The figure's slow push of the door made the wooden door make a series of sounds.
Kalulu is also very old. He is holding a cane in his hand. His stooped and skinny body trembles slightly as he walks. He has sparse white hair and heavy bags under his dim eyes.
After entering the room, he squinted his eyes and looked at Nilti carefully for a while, and then said with some disbelief: "Ni... Nilti?"
"It's me, Kalulu." Nildi's smile was a little stiff.
Kalulu was stunned for a moment, and then became emotional. He walked up to her with a few strides on crutches, and scolded her with a trembling voice: "You broke the laws of nature! You, a greedy woman, turned your back on her for the sake of your own life."
The mages must abide by the thousand-year-old law! If you use time magic rashly, this will threaten the safety of the entire universe."
"I didn't use time magic to extend my life." Nielty defended, "I used the energy of the dark dimension."
"Dark Dimension!" Kalulu was still emotional, "Communicating with the dark dimension, doesn't this threaten the order of the universe? You let the evil beings in the dark world discover the earth, and the earth will be destroyed sooner or later!"
Nilti: "Dormammu has discovered the earth long ago and has coveted it for a long time. That was during the Agamotto era. I just took advantage of Dormammu's existing greed."
"Stupid! Arrogant!" Kalulu obviously couldn't argue with Nilti, but he didn't show any weakness, "Those who get involved in darkness will not end well. If you do this, you will one day become lost and fall!"
Nilti sighed: "Power has no good or evil, Kalulu."
"Of course there is good and evil in power!" Kalulu said, then turned around angrily, "I will not be as depraved, cowardly, involved in darkness, and continue my life shamefully like you!"
After saying that, he left the room without looking back and slammed the door hard, trying to express his inner anger.
However, due to old age and frailty, even though he tried his best, he could only close the door without making the expected impact.
Nildi sighed and shook his head slightly...
Late at night a few days later.
"Ah" Kalulu, who was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, seemed to have had a nightmare. He suddenly screamed in pain and opened his eyes.
His body was shaking violently, and his forehead was suddenly covered with cold sweat, as if he was suffering from some kind of huge pain.
In fact, Kalulu is suffering from the greatest pain of human beings, aging.
This aging body, half buried in the ground, no longer has any vitality at all. It is like a rusty machine with falling parts, wandering on the edge of collapse and may stop functioning at any time.
As an outstanding magician, Kalulu has a keen sense of perception, and he can clearly feel various changes in his body.
At this moment, he was lying on the bed with stiffness and pain, difficulty breathing, and weak strength. In his perception, all his flesh and blood were struggling on the edge of the mire of death.
Death of old age...
Kalulu clearly knew what kind of situation his body was heading towards.
Suddenly, the fear of death came over him like a tide, making him tremble more violently.
Am I going to die of old age? Standing on the edge of death, Kalulu finally understood how painful death is.
Fortunately, the God of Death did not choose to take him away tonight.
After a while, Kalulu's breathing stabilized, and the severe pain of aging was relieved a lot, allowing him to get up from the bed and drink a cup of tea to calm down.
Holding the teacup in his hand, Kalulu still had a little cold sweat on his forehead.
For a moment just now, he even felt that death had put its hand on his shoulder and was asking for his name and last words with great interest.
It’s so terrible…
Kalulu shook his head, trying to make himself forget this experience.
But then, Nilti's figure appeared in his mind, the figure who had returned to youth, with light steps and a smile on his face.
He couldn't help but start to reminisce and daydream, what things can he do when he is young?
Young people can run and jump with their strong bodies, tear food with their strong teeth, and use their plump skin to flow out all kinds of wonderful body fluids...
In comparison, the old man's body is like a pile of rotten wood, shriveled, fragile, and tasteless.
In this kind of thinking, Kalulu soon thought: Maybe he should continue his life, just like Nierti?
He was very hesitant, and the main reason for his hesitation was the bold words he had repeatedly made in front of Nielty.
A few days ago, he swore that he would not live longer even if he died, nor would he get involved in the darkness. In the blink of an eye, he would slap himself in the face. Wouldn't it be a loss of face?
But in matters of life and death, mere appearance doesn't matter.
The fear of death just now still surged into his heart like a tide from time to time, so Kalulu's hesitation did not last long and he soon made up his mind.
I also want to live longer!
Thinking of this, he immediately opened a small portal leading to the library, reached out and took out a thick magic book, "The Book of Darkness".
The magic of the Supreme Sanctuary is generally divided into three parts, white magic, black magic, and time magic.
Time magic is the most feasible and easiest way to renew your life. As long as you can mobilize the Eye of Agamotto, you can easily rejuvenate yourself.
But this is also the most taboo choice. The mages know very well that time is a law related to the fundamental order of the universe. No one knows what the consequences will be if you mess with time.
White magic rarely involves discussions about the continuation of life. After all, this is an act that violates the laws of nature.
Black magic has a lot of research in this area, and according to Nildi's account, this is indeed the case. Therefore, if he wants to continue his life, Kalulu must start with black magic.
There are not many black magic books in the Supreme Sanctuary. It can even be said that there is only one "Dark God Book". It is said that this book contains all the black magic in the world, and all black magic originated from this ancient book.
Kalulu had been unwilling to get involved with this book, but after all, his life was at stake. He was about to be buried. His dignity and integrity were gone overnight.
The "Book of Darkness" has been sealed, but he witnessed Nildi's sealing process with his own eyes, so it is not difficult to unlock it.
After unlocking the seal, Kalulu eagerly opened this unpredictable black magic scripture.
"Ah, this is..."
As soon as he turned the first page, he showed a look of surprise and obsession, lying on the desk with his eyes blurred and looking infatuated.
