Chapter 692 The Fountain of Wisdom and the Giant of Wisdom

"Oh - it must be very long, maybe it's really a tree..." The old giant softened.

Aken took a lot of effort to pull out the thick wooden stick, which was indeed as thick as a tree five or six feet high. He lay on the ground gasping and felt that his throat was more thirsty. "Hey, old man, can I drink that spring now?" Aken feels that he should reward himself.

The old giant shook his head, "No, anyone who wants to drink this spring will pay a price!"

"Then can't I help you pull out that big tree?"

"You help me pull out that thorn, which can only make me answer your question..." The old giant seemed to turn against anyone.

"You--" Aken lay down again in anger. He really had no strength to speak and said helplessly, "Well, what kind of price do you think?"

The old giant rubbed his feet with satisfaction and said with a smile, "I remember that the last time I drank this spring water, the guy paid the price of a right eye. Do you think you can afford such a price?"

Aken was shocked. Drinking water costs such a price. If you are hungry, you will not have to die if you eat something! However, he thought for a moment and said to the old giant, "If a person who is going to die of thirst can save his life by drinking this mouthful of water, it is worth losing an eye. And I'm dying of thirst now..."

"Would you like to lose an eye in exchange for drinking this spring?" The old giant smiled, and his eyes were full of cunning wisdom.

Akan muttered, "Looking at the tree where I pulled out the soles of my feet, can you let me choose which eye to lose?"

The old giant laughed and said, "Hahaha! When you pull out that thorn for me, I will let you choose which eye to lose!"

"Is it a deal?"

"None will break your promise!"

"Then you swear!"

The old giant had no choice but to make a vow to the tree of the world, which turned into a mysterious symbol and flew into the tree of the world. That's it..."

Aken smiled like a weasel who stole a chicken. He said, "I'm willing to lose this eye..." After saying that, his smooth forehead opened one eye, which was the place for the puppet of the 'One-eyed Mountain King'!

"You! ..." The old giant trembled with anger when he saw the sudden eye. He was known as the wisdom giant and was actually fooled by this little dwarf. This guy is even more evil and abominable than Goblin! But he has made an irrevocable vow to the tree of the world, and naturally he can't go back on it.

"You cunning and hateful human..." The voice of the old giant made the earth tremble.

Aken smiled and said, "Now is the time to fulfill the promise!"

"Well, if you really want to drink the fountain of wisdom. I want to tell you that drinking this spring water with human ability will make you gain wisdom and lose more!" As soon as the old giant stretched out his hand, he wiped it off Akan's forehead, and a big eyeball fell on his hand. "This is really an evil eye, as if it fell from the hundred-eyed giant..."

He snapped his fingers, and the spring flowed to Aken's feet, as gentle as his lover's arm. Aken lowered his head and took a big sip of the spring. The sweetness of the spring seemed to melt directly into his throat, seeping into the water-deficient body, and quickly flowed all over his body. Not only did his body get moisture, but it seemed that the water flowed into his soul and wiped his soul, as if he had made his soul's eyes more thorough!

Countless truths rose in my mind, and even the tree of the world in front of me seemed to become transparent. Its germination and growth are vivid until it inherits the whole world. But Aken's soul was instantly submerged by the emergence of countless knowledge and truths in this spring of wisdom! He was lost in the universe of truth and couldn't extricate himself!

The wisdom giant sneered. After looking at Aken drinking the fountain of wisdom, he stood as if he were petrified. His eyes had lost focus, as if there were two nebulus-like things slowly rotating!

"With human beings, you also want to try the fountain of wisdom, and you will be lost in this sea of truth forever!" The old giant said coldly, "Do you know who drank the fountain of wisdom last time? That's Odin, the king of the gods. With his divine power, he can get rid of the terrible ending of his soul being lost in the sea of truth at the cost of digging a right eye!"

Of course, Aken can't hear it. The loss of soul is more horrible than death. Because of the death of the body, the soul still exists. But if you lose the body of your soul, you will be a walking dead.

The old giant glanced at the stick on the ground, picked it up, and muttered, "The staff of benevolent..." Many runes flew out of the stick. The old giant narrowed his eyes, looked carefully at the runes, and found that he was very familiar with, "Lu En runes? It's God's will. Odin, the king of the gods, also got the Luen rune after drinking the spring of wisdom and got great power!"

Among them, he picked up the thick thorn that tortured the soles of his feet, "The branch of the tree of the world, this is really a joke of the goddess of fate. Odin's lightning spear 'Kungunir' is also made by the branches of the world, this strange human..."

The old giant put the branch of the tree of the world with the 'scepter of the benevolent'. He waved his hand and scattered the Taoist runes and Buddhist runes, leaving only Lu En runes, wooden sticks and walking sticks combined under the package of 'Lu En runes'. The new walking stick turned into the tip of a spear, Lu En rune Wen gathered on the tip of the spear, shining dazzling stars!

"It's your luck!" The old giant picked up this spear and put it in the hands of Akan, who was kneeling there. The starlight spread the whole spear and rushed to Akan's hands...

The light wrapped Aken's body along Aken's hands, like a shining god, which made people unable to see. After a long time, the nebula in Acon's eyes turned into clear eyes again, but the flashing light seemed to penetrate people's hearts.

"It's really fascinating--" Acon sighed for a long time, as if he had wandered infinite time in the sea of truth. Finally, a bright meteor rushed to itself from infinite space and woke itself up.

He looked down and saw the cane in his hand. It seemed to have changed. It turned into the tip of the spear. On the handle of the long spear, there were mysterious golden wood grain, like the most simple and natural runes. On the tip of the shining spear, countless fine pink runes are like flowing light, as if they were condensed by Lu En's runes.

"This is..." Aken looked at the old giant hesitantly and found that his eyes were vast and far away, as if he was recalling something.

"Go away... Get out of here... Go over there, to the goddess of fate and see what they will say..." The old giant waved his hand, and the roots of the tree of the world separated a path. In the distant sky, it is another root system of the world tree.

"Don't go the wrong way. If you go in the opposite direction, you will go to the land of the dead that can never return - the cold and helpless Niforheim, the country of fog..."

Aken's words were still ringing in the heart of the old giant. He took on the 'branch of the tree of the world' and set off again, trekking on the boundless wilderness. Will the previous goddess of fate give herself the right guidance?

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

"At the other root of the tree of the world, the three goddesses of Nolan can see everything in the past, present and future. If I go, I will ask if I will become a real human in the future!" The book demon seems to be very persistent.

Zhang Fan patted the book demon, "You don't need to ask them, I can tell you that practicing adulthood is just the beginning. When you come out of the scene in the future, you will see the flies and dogs in the world. Maybe you will hate it and miss the quiet time of the 'secret archives'.

"Maybe..."

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

Aken, who drank the fountain of wisdom, has a deep understanding of the world. Those mythical countries are as far away and vain as dreams. Aken suddenly remembered the Buddhist language that Zhang Fan always talked about: All idealistic creation is just a common karma of all sentient beings. He felt that this sentence summarized the giants, dwarfs and elves he passed by, and the intelligent creatures in those countries had the same persistence as their peers. The stubbornness of the dwarf, the arrogance of the elf, the dullness of the giant...

"things are gathered by class, and people are divided by groups." Aken laughed and said, "This is the so-called 'communism'..." And the tree of the world is like a long river of history, connecting the past, present and future. Whether it is a once invincible giant, a god who thinks he is eternal, or a humble dead, they all travel around the world today.

So what are you pursuing when you are so pursuing? Even the goddess of fate weaves the web of fate of others all day long. Isn't their fate in the net?!

Aken suddenly laughed. The fountain of wisdom and the goddess of fate all felt ridiculous. The tree of the world is so vast that it is difficult to get there in my poor life. But I still traveled hard, isn't it looking for fish on the edge wood? Since I have traveled for thousands of years without dying, what's the point of this millennium? It's just a step...

Thinking of this, Aken felt as if he was growing taller, as if his body was illusory. The tree of the world was like an ordinary tree. Although it was very huge, it was no longer terrible.

Aken came to another rhizome of the world tree in just a few steps, and the rhizome also flowed out of spring water, moistening the mountain-like giant tree. Next to the root of the tree, three women are weaving a net, and the thread of fate is shadowy. One end is in the hands of three women, and the other end is connected to the center of the tree of the world.

Three women, one of whom is always looking back, as if there is always something that she can't bear to give up calling her. A youth is just right, and his eyes are always looking ahead. The youngest one, covered with a veil, has a book in her hand, but she doesn't look through it. No one knows what's written in it, because she hasn't even read it herself.
