Chapter 290 I Think I Can Do It

He didn't pay much attention to it before, but after meeting him today, he found that the old duke had not reached his lifespan limit.

The theoretical lifespan of each person is different, even if they are of the same species, there are still big differences.

Let's take a simple example.

For example, this body and the old duke must have evolved from the same human population in ancient times, and the lifespan limit of this human population is assumed to be 150 years.

But in fact, Lu He found that the lifespan limit of his body was about 260 years.

And the old duke only had 220 years.

This huge difference between individuals was caused by the evolution process of hundreds of millions of years.

Coupled with the acquired cultivation, the degree and direction of evolution of the blood, genes, soul, etc. between the two have very different, which is finally reflected in the lifespan.

There is a big difference between the theoretical lifespan and the actual lifespan, and I won't say much about the reason.

"How many years have you lived?" Lu He asked directly.

Before the old duke answered, Anis next to him turned black and snorted slightly.

Lu He glanced at her and felt a little emotional.

It seems that whether it is on Earth or in this world, the age of girls is a sensitive topic.

"One hundred and ninety-five." Although the old duke didn't know what Lu He wanted to do, he still answered honestly.

"You have at most six years to live."

Lu He nodded, and after a moment of silence, he had a rough judgment of the old duke's lifespan.

"Well... I can make you live ten more years." He didn't wait for the old duke to give his acceptance speech and continued to present the award.

The reason why Lu He said this was not because he could extend the old duke's theoretical lifespan, but because he could regulate the old duke's physical condition and extend his actual lifespan.

The old duke's eyelids twitched when he heard it, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger.

He didn't believe Zoro's first sentence.

He knew that he didn't have a few years to live, and he knew best what was going on with his own body.

But Zoro said directly that there were only a few years left. He thought he was the god of death and could be so accurate.

The old duke sneered at the latter sentence even more. Zoro really thought of himself as the god of death. It was not so simple to extend life.

"Count Sauron, what do you mean?" He asked cautiously, not really knowing what Sauron wanted to do.

He had come all the way here to invite him, so he wouldn't just say these jokes.

But he didn't dare not come.

The news that Sauron had killed Hosiman in public had spread throughout the entire Western Continent, dominating the hot search list for a long time.

He couldn't afford to offend or hide from such a strong man, so after thinking it over again and again, he had to bring Sauron's lover along.

Lu He smiled, and stopped beating around the bush, saying:

"I want to make a deal with you. If you cooperate with me to do some experiments, I'll let you live a few more years."

"Experiments?" The old duke's heart trembled. He looked at Anis and then at Lu He.

He felt very uncomfortable and didn't know what to say. The ominous premonition in his heart not only came true, but also far exceeded his imagination.

He knew what experimental materials were.

Because he had also done experiments, he knew how unreliable experiments were generally and how miserable the end of experimental materials was.

"Be an experimental material?" Anis knew that Lu He often did experiments, so she understood what cooperation meant.

Lu He nodded and said in a deep voice: "This is a very cost-effective deal, and it may also greatly improve your strength. I would not give this opportunity to ordinary people."

He looked at the stunned old duke and smiled, "It's only because we have a good relationship that I found you."

Is the relationship good?

The old duke wanted to say that our relationship was not good, and even had conflicts, so don't find me.

But he didn't dare to say it, forced a smile, and said euphemistically: "I'm old and not an ideal experimental subject."

"Now I can hardly walk, and I'm out of breath after a little movement." The old duke sighed deeply, "Earl Sauron should find a young person to cooperate."

Lu He shook his head and encouraged:

"Don't say such discouraging words, I just think you are very suitable and I specially called you here."

"Forget it, I really can't do it." The old duke was determined and insisted on not being an experimental material.

"If I say you can do it, then you can do it."

"But I really can't!"

"You have to do it even if you can't!"

Annis raised her snow-white chin, gathered the hair by her ears, and was a little speechless about the conversation between the two.

"I really don't believe that I can make you live a few more years?" Lu He's tone began to become impatient.

The old duke didn't speak, and he didn't believe it in his heart.

It's not that there are no treasures in the world that can increase life span, but that's not something that they, the mere sky knights, can have.

Even if Sauron has such a treasure, he doesn't believe that Sauron will use it on him.

"Then do you believe that I can make you live a few years less?"

Lu He's eyes flashed red, and although his tone was calm, the meaning of his words was frightening.

The old duke's scalp suddenly numbed, he seemed to be able to feel Sauron's sight like a sharp knife, slowly passing over his forehead and face, bringing a slight stinging feeling.

"I believe..." This time he really believed it.

"How about this, I'll pay you a little reward first." Lu He chuckled and didn't force it too much.

The old duke is a passionate knight. If he is pushed too far, he may risk his life to fight back.

"Wait a moment." Lu He said and stood up.

With the old duke in a daze, he walked to the staircase behind the hall, walked down the stone steps, and came to the basement.

The square basement was dark and dry, with a closed room on each side.

Different names were engraved on the doors of the rooms, namely materials, creatures, potions, and spells.

Lu He walked to the potion room and pushed open the door.

He came to the shelf on the left, where a small black wooden box was placed, and gently opened the lid of the box.

The inside was filled with a sponge-like white material, and four test tubes were placed in the middle, containing a viscous solution with two layers of red and blue colors.

The cyclones of various sizes in the solution continued to expand and explode, exploding wisps of white gas.

These gases looked like a colorful rainbow.

The water of Gakras, a first-level repair potion.

It can repair minor hidden injuries in the body, enhance cell activity, and have a certain nourishing effect on the soul.

Lu He gently took out a test tube, held it in his hand, walked out of the pharmacy, closed the door, and returned to the hall.

"You will know that you can do it after drinking it." Lu He smiled and handed the test tube to the old duke.

The old duke hesitated for a while, took the test tube, slowly pulled out the cork on it, raised his head and drank it in one breath.

After drinking it, he smacked his lips a few times, as if he was savoring it.

Anis frowned. She didn't dare to drink the potion given by Sauron casually, even if the two of them had an affair.

Gustavo's performance surprised her, but she could understand him if she thought about it carefully.

Not afraid of death does not mean that the old duke is willing to die, and even if Sauron wants to harm him, there is no need to do so.

Because with Sauron's current strength, whether it is himself or the old duke, it is just a matter of one or two swords.

Although she is reluctant to admit this fact, Anis knows that Sauron's strength is so strong.

When she heard the news that Sauron killed Hosiman, she became more eager to have a child with Sauron's blood.

Even if Gustavo didn't come to see her, she was ready to come to Xiangmu City to find Sauron in the next few days.

Because these few days were her special time, it was very suitable.

Not long after, the old duke's face suddenly became slightly happy.

He didn't know whether his life span had increased, but he felt very good all over his body.

Close your eyes and quietly experience this change.

He felt a constant stream of unknown energy pouring out of the medicine in his stomach, entering his blood, and flowing to every organ and every corner of his body.

The cells absorbed this energy eagerly, and the dormant and aging organs slowly awakened and activated.

His heart began to beat more rhythmically, as if he was reborn, containing endless energy.

"I think I can do it!" The old duke suddenly stared at Lu He with his eyes wide open, his eyes were fiery and energetic.

The changes in his body continued, as if a clear spring suddenly poured into the dry and cracked earth.

The shock it brought to him was so strong.

Lu He nodded.

This repair potion can't actually extend the old duke's life by a few years, maybe not even a year.

But Jean gave the old duke hope.

"Then you can stay here with me. The experiment may last about half a year."

"Okay!"

The old duke agreed immediately. He began to believe what Sauron said. Half a year in exchange for six years is worth it.

Of course, being an experimental material is very risky, but he doesn't care, and he has no choice.
