“...... Oh, yes. Sachses laughed self-deprecatingly, "I remember that I was dead too—thousands of years ago? As you can see...... I'm just a ghost. ”

Isis stared at him blankly, his mind blank for a moment. He even wondered what kind of scam it was...... But he was a dragon, and he could feel the unique aura that belonged to the half-blood, even if there was only a soul left, and a soul like Saxes was unique.

Dragons and elves are hybrids...... It was more deserving of birth than he, rejected and cursed by the gods, by all things, by the whole world...... And then the lives that were torn apart.

“...... So...... Are you locked here?" said Is, a little dazed, "your soul. ”

"'Locked'......" Sacthus looked down at the rune beneath his feet, "That's a good description." But you can also call it 'protection', after all, I asked them to do it. At least, when I die...... I really don't want to die. But I know that unless the unmistakable news of my death spreads to every corner of the world, I will never be at peace...... And that's the only way I can continue to 'exist'. ”

“...... They didn't betray you. "Iss came to his senses," said the whisperers. ”

"They don't. Sacthus smiled wryly, "That's a good deception, isn't it? I've deceived the elves, I've deceived the dragons, and I've deceived all the ...... 'relatives' who are connected to me by blood and hate me for it." Although sometimes I tell myself that they will be so easily deceived. It's because they feel guilty and unbearable...... Do they have them?"

There was a pain in his voice that had not faded for thousands of years, and the sympathy that had aroused in Is's heart was stronger than he expected...... But it can still be a hoax - including the sympathy it is deliberately evoked.

Not to mention how similar this place is to the Crystal Cavern where Lydia set her soul trap...... It's hard to believe it's just a coincidence.

"I don't know. He warned himself angrily, and replied in a stiff tone. "I'm an ice dragon...... It's not a spotted leaf dragon. We've never been interested in other dragons. ”

"And you're wondering if it's another scam. Sackses looked at him calmly and with interest, as if he could read every thought in his head, "You're ready to doubt every word I'm going to say next." ”

"What do you say?" said Isso, frankly, "if it were you, would you trust a ghost who has been dead for thousands of years so easily? I was raised by humans, but I am purely a dragon...... I'm not your kind, if that's what you think. ”

That's the truth...... But his denial was not as strong as he would have liked.

"Definitely. Sacksis nodded slightly, "We are different. You're a lucky guy. And I am undoubtedly cursed, you are a miracle and I am nothing but a disgrace...... But I believe that at least one thing you can understand is that even if they know who you are, they will still be willing to stand by your side and believe in you. Someone who respects you and loves you...... They are so precious that you would rather give up everything than protect them...... It is a treasure that no one can take away from it. ”

“...... What the hell are you trying to say?" Iss frowned, not wanting to admit that he was so easily impressed again.

But Sackses did not answer.

He lowered his head and was silent for a while before suddenly asking, "What do you think of this place?...... This small island. ”

“...... You want to hear the truth?" said Iss. "It's a good place. But...... If the people here are following your teachings. You're really not a good teacher. Maybe you can't hear it, but they probably spend more time arguing with each other than learning how to control their powers. ”

“...... I can hear. Sacthus sighed, "I can hear all the voices on this island, after all, my soul is connected to it." But that wasn't the case here. At most, there were only about fifty people here, although not everyone could tolerate loneliness...... Many people have been hurt before they come here, some resentments can never be erased, and some can become too greedy. Instead, they were swallowed up by their own power...... But most of the time, most people prefer to call it their home. For they know that there is no other place that can fully accept them like this, and let them know who they really are, until—"

He stopped suddenly, blinking in confusion and looking confused, as if he had forgotten for a moment what he had to say and why he was saying it.

Then he shook his head and fell silent again.

Iss was a little impatient, but he didn't urge, and he gradually realized that something was not quite right—whether it was this seemingly peaceful island or the ghost in front of him that shouldn't exist, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Something was hidden in the fog he couldn't see...... He really didn't like the feeling of unpredictability.

"I need your help. Sackses spoke abruptly, his voice suddenly sharpened as if he had changed into a different person, and his dark eyes showed anxiety and gloom.

...... Interesting.

Isis thought to himself. He was also once pulled by two different souls, and he didn't know which one was his true self...... But the situation of the Sachses seems to be different.

"What makes you think I'm going to say yes, just because you saved me?" he asked slowly, deliberately dragging his voice, knowing from his own experience that this would make an impatient guy lose control faster...... And then unconsciously more things are exposed.

"Not to mention that you used that big brainless guy to lure me here. He added, reminding himself to stay calm as he involuntarily became angry, "If it had obeyed my orders, it shouldn't have clashed with those pirates...... Did you control it? It almost died!"

“...... No. Sacksis was in a trance again, and even his voice became erratic, "Maya thinks it's you, that's why she's so angry...... But it's probably not as 'brainless' as you think...... It wants to protect you, that's its own will...... But that at least let me know I can trust you......"

In the blink of an eye, his voice blurred with his shadow, like a cloud blown away by a gale. There was a hint of panic in his eyes when he was clearly visible again.

"I need your help. He pleaded in a very different tone, "It's not just for me, it's for yourself...... For the sake of your friend, Ed Singh, he has no idea what danger he is in. ”.

Busy and tired...... I have to work overtime on Saturday and stop one shift on Sunday for 55!(To be continued.) )
