Chapter 140: The Heavenly Fire River

Garuk looked confused, and said to himself: "This, what's the matter? I'm sorry? Who is Lord Todd apologizing? An Jie's death is not to blame? Besides, with his mind, this has been thirty years, shouldn't he still feel guilty?!"

Luo Ning shook his head and said, "No, it's not An Jie, it's the fifteen puppets made by him himself! Do you remember what Galis said? Lord Todd only thinks they are dispensable tool people?! But you may not know: the strength of the puppets themselves is closely related to the relationship between the puppet warlock and the puppets! If Lord Todd really treats them as tool people, it is absolutely impossible for him to be so cruel to them!"

"But!" said Garuk, "but there is no need for that kid of Galis to lie to us!"

"I think the answer to this question lies in the illusion in front of you and me!"

Todd's sobs didn't last long. The man's crying in the illusion gradually stopped, and then let out a low, heart-rending roar, stubbornly stood up, and staggered over to the fifteen still puppets.

Immediately after, Todd walked to the puppet on the far left that was missing a finger, kissed the finger with the Yuan Soul Star Stone on it, and straightened up and gave it a hug!

"I'm sorry, Andy!" Todd whispered, like an explanation, more like a pleading!

Then, he walked over to the second puppet and did something similar to it: "I'm sorry, Cindia!"

"I'm sorry, Bloni!"

......

"I'm sorry, Galis!" Todd hugged the puppet boy who had brought Ronin and the others here, and hugged him again when he let go of him, "I'm sorry, my child! You're the first puppet I've ever made, and I'm the proudest child I've ever made! I shouldn't have been so cruel to you, but this matter is too important to me, and I can only rest assured if I leave it to you!I'm sorry, my child! I don't want to lose you, but I don't want to lose Anjie either! If I could exchange my life for the happiness of fifteen of you, I think I would not hesitate to make a sacrifice!! But I am so incompetent that I can only sacrifice my fifteen children in exchange for the happiness of the last one!"

As he spoke, Todd inlaid a fragment of the Soul Star Stone engraved with a demonic pattern into Galis's eyeball. All the parts with magic patterns were carefully hidden by him on the side of his eyeballs, and there was no clue from the appearance of the fragments of the Yuan Soul Star Stone.

Todd took a deep breath, put his forehead against Galis's forehead, and said in a deep voice, "Galis, my child, my proudest work! I'm sorry! I can only tamper with your memories to make you mistakenly think that I and your fourteen brothers and sisters were killed by Anjie!!"

Garuk still didn't know what was going on, and said strangely: "Luo Ning, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly become so timid? This eyeball is not a magic forbidden spell, why are you hiding so far away?"

"It's not a magical forbidden spell, but it's no less powerful than a forbidden spell. Galis, the crystal on the eyeball is probably the fragment of the 'Yuan Soul Star Stone' you said, right?"

Hearing Todd's words, Luo Ning and the others let out an exclamation in unison. They thought of many possibilities, but they didn't expect that even the memories in Galis's head were made up by Todd!

"But what's the point of doing this?" Luo Ning muttered softly, his mind chaotic. The illusions they saw were too limited for them to have an in-depth understanding of Todd and the fifteen puppets he had made, let alone guess the intention of the great alchemist Todd in this arrangement.

At this moment, the phantom Todd let go of Galis, and a smile appeared on his face: "I'm sorry, my child! My skills are far from as great as you think! Thirty years have passed, and I keep saying that I want to resurrect Anjie, and promise you to wait for him to be resurrected, and take everyone around the world and travel to all corners of the Lost Continent! However, in the end, I can only come up with such a bad way that requires sacrificing everything! If you know that I have lied to you, you will definitely hate me!"

Todd wiped tears from his face. In front of the puppets he regarded as flesh and blood, the great alchemist completely removed the man's disguise called "strong", and told the secret hidden in his heart: "Tell you quietly, in fact, I already knew: you are the most emotionally rich and closest to human existence among these fifteen puppets! In order to reborn An Jie, you must sacrifice your fourteen brothers and sisters, and even sacrifice me, an incompetent father!" If you know all this, you will definitely pile all your resentment and pain on An Jie, ignore her, and even start a hunt and kill, right?! My own son deeply hates my daughter, and I will never allow this kind of thing to happen! So Galis, forgive Daddy for being willful!! Dad has done something in your eyes and made up a memory for you! As long as you have this memory, you will definitely be able to get along with An Jie after being reborn! Goodbye, my son! Now, please accept Daddy's last request!"

Todd said as he pressed his palm to Galis's chest. In the midst of the magic power, two clusters of light suddenly lit up in Gallis's eyes, and he raised his legs to move forward with a sluggish expression, and soon left the room. And Todd, after the door was closed, stood firmly in the position where Galis had just been.

The next moment, Todd took out the last fragment of the Yuan Soul Star Stone from his arms and held the spar high above the top. A low chant sounded like a dream, and a huge torrent of energy suddenly surged out from the feet of Todd and the fourteen puppets, and was instantly absorbed into the fifteen thick silver threads that had been drawn long ago, rushing towards An Jie in the wheelchair. Todd's smile grew brighter when he saw this, but his body withered and decayed in a matter of seconds, turning into pale silver sand flying in the sky along with the other fourteen puppets.

"Jingle bells!"

At this moment, the soul-nourishing lantern tied to An Jie's hand suddenly began to shake. Through the chaotic line of sight, Luo Ning could vaguely see that the fine sand in the sky was flying towards the strange and mysterious bronze lantern, condensing into a spiral-shaped storm, which was sucked into the body by the soul-nourishing lantern.

"Daddy...... I remember!Dad, I'm ......" The mysterious girl Tao Lan's eyes were full of tears, and she muttered incoherent babble in her mouth, and her body unconsciously walked to the stage.

Garuk wanted to step forward to comfort the girl, but was pulled by Luo Ning: "What are you doing?!"

"Hey, don't you see this little girl being sad? Why are you so cold?!"
