Chapter 271 The Fool Who Pursues Eternal Life

Seleus, the king of the great kingdom, refused the blood of mortals, and the doomed death of mortals.

Compared with the immortal gods in that body kingdom, the lifespan of mortals is too short. Even the longest-lived elves are no different from short-lived mayflies in front of the gods.

Seleus looked down from the tall palace, he saw the bustling and busy crowd in the capital, and said with emotion:

"Mortal, your feet are on the ground...but the eternity of the ground has nothing to do with you."

People are farming and working on this land... How many people have dedicated their lives to the earth under their feet, but what is the meaning to the earth?
death…

means the end.

Seleus could not accept this ending.

Under his galloping chariot, he had seen too many people die meaninglessly. Looking back now, perhaps one day, his descendants would also die meaninglessly like this.

And maybe one day, after his death, everything he created and the great country he developed will fall apart, and his achievements will be buried by time, and no one will mention them like dust.

"I can't just die like this."

Celius murmured:

"Death is the end, nothingness."

After the queen's death, King Seleus embarked on a quest for immortality.

He first asked his father, Vulcan, and begged him for a recipe for immortality.

"Selius, my firstborn,"

Vulcan stared at him,
"Everything has a destiny, and even the great gods are bound by it,

And you are a mortal destined to die, and death is your destiny.

Seek not death, my firstborn,
You must know that after your death, I have asked Naqbet for a place for you, and you may enjoy glory and happiness there. "

Seleus looked at his father. The latter's fiery red hair and solemn face all showed the majesty of the gods.

"My Father, my beloved God.

The cold wind is piercing in the nether world, the sun is cut off from it, and the hundred miles are barren without living things.

Glory after death, even though it is praised by countless ghosts, what is the value?
The happiness in the past life, even if you can have a thousand kinds of fun, but there is nothing left!

My dear Father God, I will not die. "

Vulcan listened to Seleus's words, and from his eldest son, he saw the ignorance of mortals.

"Selius, all wise men must be those who know themselves."

Vulcan sighed.

"Then I would rather be a fool and dream of pursuing eternal life all day long."

Seleus replied in this way.

Vulcan no longer dissuades his eldest son. As a god, he has long been accustomed to the whims of mortals. Finally, he said:
"Selius, I know you want to ask me about the law of immortality, but I don't have a recipe for immortality.

Although the gods have great powers, just as the seemingly boundless land has its boundaries, and the unfathomable sea has its end, the gods live and never die, but they don't know how to make mortals lead to eternal life.

Seleus, wake up in time. "

The king of Riboja sighed.

Even the gods revered by mortals have never known the law of eternal life.

Seleus felt that he was trapped in the fog, not knowing which way was the right way to truly lead to eternal life.

Now, he can only walk step by step, groping forward in the fog.

Years later, when the envoys from the small kingdoms set foot on the palace of Riboga to offer tribute to the suzerain, King Seleus heard the legend of Carol.

"You said that the famous doctor cured all illnesses, and all patients would be healed with her medical skills and prayers?"

A gleam of light flashed in King Seleus' eyes.

The envoys under the throne exchanged glances, and one envoy stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty of Riboja, as you said, Lord Carol is a doctor with superb medical skills. She is the imperial physician of our Majesty. She has eradicated intractable diseases for many dignitaries and saved the lives of countless people with her own hands.

In her hands, perhaps there is no incurable disease. "

When he heard this, King Seleus' breathing became short, and his bright red hair trembled slightly on the throne.

"So…

Is aging a disease?

Is death a disease?

If aging and death are both diseases, can she cure them...with medicine? ! "

The envoys were at a loss for a while because of King Seleus' continuous questioning.

Finally, an envoy bit the bullet and said:
"Your Majesty of Riboja, please wait for me to ask our Majesty for instructions."

King Seleus has been searching for the law of eternal life for many years, and he will not let go of every straw. Seeing the envoy's vague answer, he said coldly:
"Tell your king, be sure to invite Na Kaluo to my palace."

The tone was almost commanding.

The messenger was sweating coldly, and he couldn't refuse.

Because, Riboga is their suzerain country.

"Your Majesty Riboga, I will definitely bring your decree to our kingdom..."

....................................

....................................

A few days later, Carol was invited by the prime minister, and at the banquet, she learned about the summoning of King Seleus from the latter.

"Then, King Seleus printed on the gold coin?!"

Carol was stunned for a moment, and she lost her composure.

"King Seleus wants to summon you, Doctor Carol."

The prime minister's tone is very respectful,
"I can predict that you will be rewarded by King Seleus with your medical skills, and that reward will be far better than before."

To the prime minister's surprise, Carol's face looked a little nervous.

"What's the matter, Doctor Carol, do you have something to hide?"

The prime minister asked with concern.

Carol came back to her senses, shook her head and said:

"No, no, nothing."

The prime minister didn't know.

Carol was able to cure her illness with medicine. Over the years, she had relied on the witch's potion most of all.

But now, the potion is about to run out, and there is only one tenth of the original potion left.

Although as the number of potions decreased, Carol also realized that it could not last long, so she began to study medical skills painstakingly, and it also achieved certain results.

But for the potion that is almost omnipotent, these effects are nothing more than ants.

The number of aristocratic ministers suffering from serious diseases in the royal capital has decreased year by year, and the chances of using potions have also decreased. This is the main reason why she can maintain her status as a famous doctor.

But... once in the unfamiliar kingdom of Ripoga, how long can he keep his lies in the face of the potion that is about to run out?

Carol couldn't help shivering.

At this time, the prime minister said a word,

"Doctor Carol, King Seleus also asked the envoy a question, maybe I should pass it on to you."

"What is it?"

Carol asked.

The prime minister took a deep breath and said:

"King Seleus asked:

'Is aging a disease? '

'Can death be a disease? '

'If old age and death are diseases, can she... cure them? ! '"
