"Ms. Tabetha, I heard that Benson Business has been doing very well in recent years. Perhaps we can discuss some export matters. Will you accompany me?"
After encountering ghosts and having a brief exchange, the woman who followed Tao Les took Tabitha away.
Everyone dispersed and Tina stayed with Mu Hua. Tao Les didn't seem to want others to participate in his communication with Mu Hua, but he didn't drive Tina away.
Mu Hua did not enter the wizard tower that made him curious. Instead, he followed Tao Les. In the unfamiliar contact, Mu Hua and Tina remained silent and the three of them strolled in the fields.
"Mu Hua, do you know the difference between ghosts and gods and royal authorities?" After a moment of silence, Tao Les stopped and asked Mu Hua.
"I don't know. Before this, I wasn't even sure if ghosts and gods really existed." Mu Hua shook his head, wondering what Tao Les was trying to do.
“Hehe, ghosts and gods represent disasters to most humans. Original sin interferes too much with the outside world. You should know something about original sin, right?” Tao Les chuckled and said in a calm tone.
"I don't know much." Mu Hua shook his head.
"Oh, I know you have already obtained the status of Pale Lord, but as someone who has experienced this, I want to give you some advice. For the time being, don't delve too deeply into jealousy."
"I heard that you have some accomplishments in potions? If possible, try to achieve some success in alchemy first."
"Before that, don't get too involved in the realm of original sin." Ignoring Tina on the side, Tao Les said to Mu Hua.
"What's the reason?" Mu Hua asked curiously without resistance.
"Both ghosts and kings have touched upon original sin. When they walk in the outside world, they will inevitably cause some supernatural influences around them."
"However, the influence of this power is strange and mysterious, and it does not represent absolute combat power."
"For example, a strong person who has not touched the original sin can still rely on some conventional abilities to suppress ghosts and gods, and the combat power of ghosts and gods is not necessarily unable to surpass the kingship. You will naturally understand these in the future."
"The reason why those seven people were able to gain recognition from human society was not because of their bad taste, but because they had mastered some technology and knowledge that could change the overall situation of humanity."
Tao Lesi seemed to be feeling emotional, and a strange aura emanated from him as he spoke.
Mu Hua's heart tightened for no reason, and he inexplicably developed a fondness for Tao Les. His mental stability brought some warning thoughts, and the abnormal thoughts made Mu Hua nervous.
Compared to the frowning Mu Hua, Tina showed obvious hostility towards Tao Les, and Tao Les took a deep breath as if to calm down. As his body relaxed, the strange smell on his body dissipated.
"Sorry, Tina, go away for a while. Don't worry, I have no ill will towards your master." Tao Les waved his hand and said.
The charm of the color domain? Tao Lesi did not explain, and Mu Hua did not ask more questions, but Mu Hua nodded and asked Tina to step back.
It seems that Tao Les can easily make people like him, but the charm ability is different from the charm magic. When people are on guard, for rational beings, the inexplicable good feelings cannot really make people close to him.
On the contrary, faced with this abnormal situation, I'm afraid the first reaction of most lives would be resistance and rebellion.
However, if you are getting along normally with each other and are not on guard, it is hard to say.
"It's a troublesome ability, isn't it?"
"Haha, but I'm still lucky. Just like the seventh one, even though he has obtained the status of a king, he can only stay in the 'Land of Eternal Life' normally."
"People are very troubled by the immortal soul." Seeing Tina step back, Tao Les smiled.
"The seventh royal power?" Mu Hua asked softly.
"Well, around him, death does not mean the end. He can allow the dead to retain their complete souls and transform them into ghosts that will not be reincarnated."
"The sixth one is the one I hate the most. Whenever he travels in the outside world, he will be followed by a large number of Night Hunters who are trying to clean up his mess. Those Undead Mages who want to capture human ghosts are also a headache. Hahahaha." Tao Les said happily.
As Tao Les laughed, that strange aura appeared on his body again. His mind was stable and he kept giving warnings. As Tao Les' laughter subsided, the strange fluctuations slowly disappeared.
"There are so many things I don't understand, I don't even know where to start." Tao Lesi's words were unclear, Mu Hua frowned and continued, "The soul dissipates with the end of life. You just need to know that jealousy can distort this law."
"And ghosts that retain their consciousness from their previous lives always cause trouble, so no one likes the seventh one to hang around outside."
"As for you, you will probably follow his path. Well, or rather, as the Pale Lord, you have already overcome the most difficult hurdle of jealousy." Tao Les said slowly.
"original sin?"
Mu Hua didn't know much about royal officials, let alone ghosts and gods like Tao Les.
Original sin can be understood as a high-level energy system. According to Tao Les, kings and ghosts and gods are both high-end combat forces in the human group that have touched original sin.
In essence, both kings and demons are very good at destruction.
The biggest difference between the two is that ghosts and gods are powerful individual fighters, while the kings, in addition to being powerful themselves, also have some abilities that can strengthen the entire human race.
Mu Hua had heard some rumors in this regard.
For example, many new types of magical weapons of mankind were developed by the magic workshop of the Fourth Royal Authority.
For example, the First Kingship disclosed the art of shapeshifting applicable to humans, and led his army of demons to try to invade Hell.
But to Mu Hua, these things were all urban legends. He could call them myths, but he had never thought about these issues before. He didn't expect Tao Les to talk to him about these things.
"You are telling me all this. Why did you come to me...?" Mu Hua asked tentatively.
"Hehe, compared to those kings, ghosts and gods are also regarded as monsters and destabilizing factors by some people, just like me. So, we need friends." Tao Les said with a smile, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"Haha, it's rare to meet a young Pale Lord among the guests at the banquet. Here, this is an alchemy record I got before." While joking, Tao Les threw a leather book to Mu Hua.
"You can view this as a gesture of goodwill, or you can understand it as a way to attract investment."
"Although you are still very immature, since you have formed a marriage relationship with the demon clan, I also need to give you some reminders."
"Compared to becoming a new ghost, it would be better for you to become a Crowned Shadow first. That should make your life easier." Tao Les said to Mu Hua.
The book is made of demon skin, with a total of six pages. Because there are some traces of tearing in between, the complete book should have more pages.
Youth Potion, Dragon Power Potion, Intuition Potion, Warp Potion, Philosopher's Stone - Hellfire of the End, Philosopher's Stone - Thunder Beast.
He caught the book thrown by Tao Les and flipped through two pages, which contained some strange and bizarre materials.
Alchemical formula? Mu Hua looked at Tao Lesi in confusion. Even if he looked for these things on the Internet, he might not be unable to find them, right? Mu Hua was not sure what this book was.
"This is a magic book that the alchemist condensed with his own soul before his death. Gather the materials above, burn the pages, and perform sacrifices according to the recorded steps. They will allow you to understand your own personal formula." Tao Les explained.
"This..." Mu Hua's fingers holding the book tightened and he looked at Tao Les in astonishment.
It is priceless. Although it only has six pages, and although not many people can gather the materials after understanding these six formulas, this is undoubtedly a priceless magic book.
"Haha, except for the Thunder Beast Magic Stone, I guess you will hardly use the others. Just think of it as a gift, a token of friendship from the demon clan. Treat Tina well in the future." Tao Les said with a smile, seeming very satisfied with Mu Hua's shocked expression.
"Thank you for the gift, Your Highness." After putting away the magic book, Mu Hua said with a serious face, and bowed slightly while hesitating.
"Your Highness is the respectful name the demons give me. I prefer the name Tai Daxiong." Tao Les waved his hand, as if he wanted to show some heroic style that was completely inconsistent with his temperament.
"..." Mu Hua twitched his lips. Tai Daxiong? Tao Lesi seemed to be serious. (End of this chapter)
