C195 Buy Me a Drink(2)

"Cecilia, you are drunk!" I looked helplessly at Cecilia.

Cecilia finished the second glass of wine and smiled, "If the second glass of wine still feels bitter, then give up!" After saying that, she put down the wine cup, carried the bamboo basket on her back, turned around and left.

Cecilia left and said some incomprehensible words. I began to feel vexed again. I don't know if it was because of puzzle-solver's suggestion or Cecilia's inexplicable words.

Could Cecilia have heard the conversation between me and puzzle-solver? Did Cecilia see through my thoughts of seeking death? What was the first cup of wine? What was the second cup of wine?

Ekdo never came. The snow continued to fall. Cecilia would come every two days. Wash my clothes and prepare a meal for me. She did not mention anything about what she said after drinking that day. As for the Wood of Pain, I am still unable to modify it.

After a while with puzzle-solver, I had a long time of conflict. Should I continue cultivating? Not cultivating means that I have accepted the arrangement of fate. If I continue cultivating, perhaps I still have a chance to choose. I have finally decided to continue cultivating dark magic.

I have already summoned the stone grindstone. I should be able to start the next cycle of training. Moreover, the angel who is suffering has already increased my spiritual energy.

Originally, I thought that I would be able to learn the high-level Confusion Spell with ease, but after chanting the spell, the spiritual energy in the Niwan Palace didn't show any familiar fluctuations. During the stage of practicing the high level skill, I encountered another obstacle.

Is it because I haven't mastered the summoning skill yet? I once again summoned the Flaming Rock Demon. I felt that this skill required me to use up nearly half of the spiritual energy. Now, I only need a quarter of my mental energy. Hardell's reward was really generous, at least doubling my mental energy.

"Have you started cultivating again?" Cecilia carried the bamboo basket to my wooden house.

I quickly released the Flaming Rock Demon, worried that the huge and ferocious Rock Demon would scare Cecilia.

Cecilia helped me wash my clothes as usual and made a meal, but she did not say anything.

"Do you still have wine?" Cecilia asked. Ever since that day, Cecilia did not ask me to treat her to a drink during this period of time.

I poured some wine for Cecilia. Cecilia picked up her wine glass and walked to the front of the Wood of Pain. Following the link between the charred yellow roots and the fiery red wooden stake, she poured the wine down. She muttered, "The wine is really good. Since the pain cannot be resolved, I can only rely on wine to extinguish it "

I looked at Cecilia's strange behavior in shock. Cecilia grabbed two of the Roots of Pain. She said softly, "Let's split up!" The two yellowed Roots were separated from the fiery red wooden stakes. The Roots of Pain, which could not even move an inch, were actually separated from the tree stump by the effects of the wine!

Cecilia took out a large bowl from the bamboo basket and poured half a bowl of wine. She then separated the two Roots of Pain from the wooden stake and submerged them in the bowl. Slowly, a thick white liquid seeped out from the Roots of Pain's broken parts. I looked at Cecilia and was speechless.

Slowly, the white liquid stopped seeping out. Cecilia quickly closed the two Roots of Pain together. Then, she took out the small yellow ball shaped Roots that she showed us the first time we met from the bamboo basket and soaked them in the wine. She placed it on the side of the Roots of Pain that had already merged into one.

Cecilia said in a low voice, "The modification of the Wood of Pain, once in a lifetime." As she spoke, she took out a black thread from the bamboo basket and soaked it in the wine.

"Cecilia, what is this?" I finally could not help but ask.

Cecilia took out the black thread from the bowl and pointed it at the bottom of the tree stump. The wood of pain that could not even be moved by a knife or axe was cut open by the black thread like tofu. The surface of the cut was as smooth as a mirror.

I was completely stunned and could not speak anymore.

"Look, where is this hand placed? There isn't much time left. Hurry up and decide!" Cecilia had already picked up the slightly small piece of wood of pain. She struggled to place one of the ends into the bowl and slowly stirred it.

I subconsciously pointed towards the center of the already formed wooden stake.

Cecilia pouted, "You still aren't coming? It's so heavy that it's killing me!"

Only then did I wake up from a dream and rush forward to grab that piece of wood of pain.

" Quick! There's no more time! " Cecilia urged.

I saw that the wine in the bowl had slowly become clear. I hastily pulled out the piece of wood from the tree of pain and poked it at the right spot. With a wave, the slightly smaller wood of pain entered the side of the wooden stake.

Is it done? I saw the large wooden hammer that had completed its exterior transformation, as if it was in a dream. A moment ago, it was so strong that I was at a loss for what to do. Under the dissolving of the mystical juice of the Root of Pain, the seemingly powerless Tree of Pain was actually easily remodeled. The hammer body's rules were complete, and the two sides of the hammer were as smooth as mirrors. The hands that were connected as one could not be loosened in the slightest.

I picked up the wooden hammer with both hands. Although I have recovered a lot of my strength, I still felt that the wooden hammer was incomparably heavy.

"It's best not to remove its attributes right now. Once it's removed, Ekdo won't be able to use it anymore. His level isn't high enough yet." Cecilia calmly said.
