Hogwarts: What bad intentions could a little badger have?

"Oh? Why?" Blake asked calmly.

"Mr. Brian, what I want to say is human nature..." Delphi said carefully: "There is no doubt that if the main function of these springs is to replenish vitality, then... in other words, it can prolong life..."

"You must know that for wizards who are obsessed with knowledge, the shorter lifespan of humans is their biggest enemy..."

"And the wizards in the tower are all people who are extremely eager for knowledge... In other words, these springs are a fatal temptation for most wizards in the tower."

"These springs seem to be limited, so... it is better not to make them public before coming up with the best solution."

Delphi's persuasion angle is very tricky. Even if Blake is not a wizard obsessed with knowledge, he was moved by her words.

Knowledge is endless. For wizards who are obsessed with knowledge, the limited lifespan limits the limit of their pursuit of knowledge.

It just so happens that there are many paranoid people who are extremely eager for knowledge in the tower.

Once this news is made public, there may be people with ulterior motives who want to hold these springs in their own hands.

There are not many kind wizards in this era, especially these paranoid people in the tower.

Only Merlin can barely suppress them from making trouble.

If these people knew that there was such a spring... the tower would most likely fall apart.

And Merlin's simple dream would naturally die in the womb.

This is not what Blake wants to see, at least... before Merlin dies, this situation cannot be allowed to happen.

"Okay, then don't tell others first." Blake said.

Delphi's tense body couldn't help but relax.

If Blake really insisted on telling everyone about this spring, she would have no way out.

Mr. Brian's strength is unfathomable, which makes her afraid. She can't do anything to him at all...

Moreover, according to what Delphi has learned these days, other means, such as poisoning, can't do anything to him.

With his level of potion, he can smell anything poisonous on you. It's so exaggerated...

Besides, Delphi is still thinking about learning the skills of Mr. Brian, so she can't do anything.

"But..."

Hearing Blake's words, Delphi's relaxed body suddenly tensed up again.

"...Old Merlin needs to know this. I think that to study the principle of this spring water, we can't do without Old Merlin's knowledge reserve."

Nothing exists for no reason. Blake doesn't know the origin of these springs, but Old Merlin may know.

The reason why we need to find out the origin of these springs is because it helps to find out the origin of the production.The principle of the fountain of life.

Many times, the value of mastering the principle is much higher than mastering the object.

Because after mastering the principle, maybe it can be mass-produced.

This is also Blake's habit. When he sees a rare item, the first thought is whether it can be mass-produced...

Delphie wanted to say no, but... it was reasonable to tell old Merlin, and she really had no reason to object.

"Okay." Delphie nodded.

Blake glanced at her, and the way she pursed her lips hard looked very much like Tom in the diary.

Delphie at this time was still a little immature, and her expression management was not good.

She was far from being as calm and composed as the Delphie that Blake saw in the future.

...

An hour later.

Still in this cave.

Merlin carefully looked at the spring water, frowning tightly, and raised his head after a long while.

"Merlin, how is it? Does this spring water have any side effects?" Delphi asked hurriedly.

"No side effects." Merlin said softly while stroking his beard.

But his eyebrows were still frowned.

"Old Merlin, do you understand the principle of this spring water?"

Blake, who found a stone to sit on, asked.

"I saw a little clue... Well, it seems that you have seen something?"

"Well... When Delphi went back to find you, I had already tested this spring water."

Blake stood up and approached the spring water.

"So, what is the conclusion?" Old Merlin asked with a smile.

"Curse." Blake said softly.

"Curse?!" Delphi exclaimed, "You mean, there is a curse in these springs? But... you must be wrong, if there is a curse, how can Mr. Merlin say there are no side effects?"

Delphi's expression was out of control again. If Merlin had never been wary of Delphi, she would have been suspected for losing control of her emotions.

However, this spring water is related to whether she can complete her plan, so it would be strange if she is not excited.

"Delphi, don't be excited." Merlin waved his hand, and then asked Blake, "Brian, go on."

"Well... this mouthful of spring water is full of life breath. I tested its composition and analyzed the principle. Finally, I found that the reason why this spring water has such a strong life breath is because of the curse."

"You mean, these life breaths are the power of the curse?" Merlin continued to ask while stroking his beard.

"That's right, this world is always polarized. Everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme, so curses are not necessarily bad things... This kind of life force is a curse."

Delphie understood this time, but still felt a sense of absurdity.

This vigorous vitality is actually a curse? Cursing my vitality to become stronger?

"Hmm... No wonder I felt weird just now. It has vigorous vitality, but it contains the rules of curse... However, I dare not draw conclusions so quickly. The vitality brought by the curse... It seems a bit unbelievable no matter how I think about it." Merlin looked at the spring again with a complicated look.

"It's not hard to understand... Old Merlin, I'll ask you a question and you'll understand." Blake said.

"Oh? You say." Merlin looked at Blake with interest.

Blake asked: "Do you think... immortality is a blessing, or the first curse?"

"Eternal life? That should be a blessing. After all, you can never die, right?" Merlin answered as a matter of course.

"Oh... is that so? Then, as time goes by, when you see more and more lives passing by you. When all the people you care about gradually pass away and there is only loneliness around you, do you still think that this is a blessing? When you have lived enough and can no longer bear this loneliness, and want to understand yourself, but find that you can't die, do you still think that this is a blessing?"

After hearing what Blake said, Merlin took a breath, "It's terrible, Brian... When you lose the meaning of living, you can't die... This is a curse! You are right, Brian, everything will turn into the opposite extreme. If the effect of a thing is too good, it is a curse."

Delphi had been listening beside him, and until this time, he finally couldn't help asking: "What you said means... this spring water... is the fountain of youth? Drinking a sip can make you immortal?"

Hearing Delphi's excited tone, Blake smiled. "No, this spring water is not that level. At most... it can only be called the Fountain of Life."

Delphie's face fell immediately. She didn't care about any curse! What's wrong with immortality? !

However, just when she was excited, this abominable Brian poured a basin of cold water on her...

"Since it's not the Fountain of Youth, why are you saying this?" Delphie said dissatisfiedly.

"Hehe, that's just because it's a growing Fountain of Youth..." Blake said with a smile.

Delphie's eyes widened, "A growing Fountain of Youth?"

Blake stretched out his hand and brushed away some dust on the edge of the spring water, and then a slightly incomplete and strange rune appeared in front of Blake.

Seeing this rune, Blake's eyes were a little surprised.

"What is this?" Delphie asked.

"This should be an ancient rune... but... I have never seen this ancient rune before..." Merlin said hesitantly.

"Sure enough... just as I guessed, there is no natural curse power? This spring water is kept here by someone!" said Blake.

"Keeping it here? You mean... someone deliberately carved a unique ancient rune, and then let this spring water eventually transform into a fountain of youth?"

This spring water that was kept here by someone else... or, this spring water was originally a pool.

"At present, it seems to be true." Blake said: "And, looking at this pool... it should not be in this shape..."

"Well, that means this pool has existed for many years. Let me see..." Merlin leaned on the edge of the pool and looked carefully. "Based on the degree of weathering of this rock, this pool is estimated to have existed for thousands of years. Oh... who on earth can keep a fountain of youth like this?"

"But no matter what, this is also a great discovery!"

Merlin said, habitually took out a pen and a notebook, ready to write down the runes on the edge of the pool in the notebook.

However, just when he wrote the last stroke of the rune in the notebook,

"Huh!"

The notebook in Merlin's hand actually caught fire!

Merlin quickly threw the notebook away, and in the blink of an eye, the notebook was burned to ashes.

The power of this flame that burst out in a short period of time was not less than that of the fierce fire! If Merlin had not noticed something wrong early and let go quickly, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Oh... this rune is amazing!" Merlin said in shock.

"Old Merlin, I wonder if you have discovered... this ancient rune... can you remember it?" Blake suddenly asked.

"Oh? It's just a rune. Although I'm old, but... eh?" Merlin also found the problem immediately.

He found that once his eyes left the rune, the rune pattern he had memorized in his mind would disappear directly! (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"This rune is actually unrecordable!" Merlin exclaimed.

This is the first time he has encountered such a strange thing in all these years!

"It's still the power of the curse, old Merlin... It's the same curse that makes the spring water produce vigorous vitality." Blake said: "The person who arranged this place doesn't want anyone to take his runes away."

"Even... He doesn't mind us taking away these springs..."

Merlin looked at the pool with a serious face, "Yes, there should be no protective measures on the most important spring water... There is not even a trace of protective measures, that is to say, there are no protective measures, not that the protective measures have been worn away by time."

"Anyway, this is a strange guy... Things that have been raised for so long, anyone can take them away as long as they don't touch the tools used to raise things..."

"Ha! Actually, it makes sense if you substitute it for the fruit trees I planted myself." Merlin suddenly said with a smile.

"You can pick the fruits I planted, but you can't take away my shovel that I've become accustomed to."

Because of the horror scene that just happened, Merlin will neverDare to record any runes on this pool.

However, after he and Blake checked it again, they each filled a bottle of the Fountain of Life.

After obtaining Merlin's consent, Delphi also took an empty bottle and filled it with a bottle.

Blake looked at her movements and suddenly said: "This Fountain of Life has not yet grown into the Fountain of Youth, so the life force is too majestic and too overbearing. For ordinary people, one drop a week is the limit. So, if you want to drink it, remember to dilute it before drinking."

Delphi looked at the bottle in her hand in shock, and then looked at Merlin.

Merlin nodded, "He's right, Delphi. One drop a week is the most conservative estimate. To be exact, although this fountain of life won't make you immortal, drinking one drop will extend your life by at least fifty years. You don't need to drink it every week. Therefore, if you drink too much, your body will burst because it can't bear it... Strictly speaking, this is indeed a curse."

"You just said there are no side effects..." Delphi muttered softly. If she wasn't worried about exposing her inner thoughts too much, she almost took it up and gulped it down. Now think about it... How dangerous! []

"Ahem, I hadn't tested it at that time." Merlin said a little embarrassedly.

Delphi didn't care too much. At this time, the wild joy had filled her heart.

She looked at the bottle in her hand excitedly. With these fountains of life, she could live for hundreds of years!

After taking the samples, the few people left the small cave.

However, when Merlin turned around and planned to set up a hidden magic.

The entrance to the small cave disappeared completely under the eyes of the three people!

This incident shocked Merlin again! Blake used the Eye of Truth to see through the mountain wall, and then he opened his mouth in shock, because the mountain wall was solid! There was nothing inside!

It seemed as if the cave entrance had never existed!

Blake looked at Delphi, who was pale, and then looked at the bottle she was holding.

Finally understood why Dracula said in the future that Delphi's reward for the Fountain of Life would be measured in drops...

Although this bottle of Fountain of Life looks a lot, but... because most of the spring water disappeared due to unknown forces.

So, she only had this bottle in her hands.

If she wants to use it for hundreds of years, she must be very frugal.

"If I had known earlier, I would have packed more... No, packed all away..." Delphi said with a pale face. .
