"Quack!" Black Candle let out a low laugh, spewing out pitch-black smoke from his mouth, the soul fire in his eyes kept flickering, exuding a shuddering aura like the final boss: "Long time no see, human brave." I didn't expect the two of us to see each other again, but it's a pity that we only have the fate of killing each other. Come on, gamble on the responsibilities that we are shouldering on each other, and let the battle of 500 years ago come to an end today!"

The great sage was silent, Yingluo was smiling, and Xiao Na was holding the snacks on the table and eating non-stop, completely looking like she was not a big deal to watch the excitement.

William sighed, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, your performance is ...... It sucks. ”

"Well, yes? I think I'm doing a pretty good job. Black Candle Gong was stunned when he heard this, and his momentum also plummeted, and the oppressive force just now disappeared, and in just a moment, he changed from the final boss to a comic.

"What a person who doesn't know how to appreciate. Black Candle muttered discontentedly like a child.

William had a black line on his head, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and asked, "By the way, how did you become like this? The black candle man who fought with me should be flesh and blood, right, what about the part below your neck?"

Black Candle Gong immediately replied angrily: "Hey, aren't you the one who destroyed my body?" I woke up with a head left, and I was also surprised! What's even more sad is that after that, I have to continue to provide power to the Floating Continent, and I don't have time to recover at all." ”

"So, this sky paradise is what you built?" asked William.

"To be precise, it is the Black Candle Gong who provides the power, and I provide the technology. The Great Sage replied, "There is no way, the Seventeen Beasts are dangerous enemies for both me and the Earth God, and in order to escape from the ground, we can only join forces temporarily." ”

William nodded in understanding.

The Great Sage then asked, "Do you want to retake the ground?"

"Huh?" William said, "Take back the ground...... Do we have what it takes?"

"In the past, it was only me and Black Candle Gong, and I really couldn't do it, but now you're here too. The Great Sage said, "Although you are a non-enterprising fellow regardless of personality, character, nature, and nature, your ability is trustworthy, and it can be said that it is an indispensable part of our plan!"

William twitched the corners of his mouth: "Thank you for your fancies, I'm really honored." ”

"This is no joke, Black Onyx's sword ghost. The Great Sage said solemnly: "You are the only brave man who can adjust and maintain the holy sword alone, this skill can be put on the present day, and it can completely allow those scrapped and unusable holy swords to return to the battlefield! This is a big progress, and if we gather all the combat power of the Floating Continent and attack the ground in one fell swoop, we will not have no chance of winning...... No, the odds are pretty good!"

Cortana clicked and ate the biscuit and said, "It turns out that William is a life skill player, and the blacksmith grandmaster is okay." ”

William smiled bitterly: "Even if there are holy swords, but the human race is already extinct, where can I find the brave people who use these holy swords?"

"Golden goblins! If you want a goblin, you can have as many as you want, so the number of holy swords is the key to determining combat power!"

"Oh, so the golden goblin is your handiwork?" William felt an inexplicable ache in his heart as he remembered the scene where Kodori claimed to be a "special weapon". He frowned and said unhappily: "Shi Wang, treating life as a consumable, this is not something that a brave man should do!"

"Ah, that ......," the great sage was speechless.

"Actually, those golden elves don't count as life. Black Candle Gong suddenly spoke: "They are the product of the combination of the soul fragments of my god and the necromantic magic of the great sage, and they are the same dead as skeleton soldiers, but because of the influence of the soul fragments of my god, they have given birth to a little consciousness, and they have become a bit like people." ”

"Bang!"

William slammed it on the table, got up and said, "It's not a bit like people, they cry and laugh, and everyone has their own preferences." If that's not life, then what is?"

"But you should also know that they don't have a concept of death, which is completely impossible if they were living beings. Black Candle said: "The golden goblin who doesn't know what death is, can open the door of the goblin without hesitation and use magic to explode himself, which is an idealized mass production weapon." They were skeleton soldiers from the beginning, nothing more than flesh and blood. You humans are used to judging the world with your eyes, so you can't accept it. ”

The Great Sage continued, "The golden elves have a very short lifespan, and if they use too much magic in battle, they will also awaken the soul fragments of the star gods and cause personality collapse, so in order to avoid unforeseen consequences, it is necessary to let them blow themselves up at the right time. I admit it's a bit cruel, but it's also a tacit sacrifice to save the world. ”

With a "bang", William flipped the table, and then punched the great sage in the face.

Yingluo snatched her teacup in time, and Cortana also picked up the plate with the snacks.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" exclaimed William, gritting his teeth, "Five hundred years have worn away even your humanity?"

The Great Sage wiped the corners of his mouth and slowly stood up from the ground.

Black Candle Gong said: "This is also something that can't be helped, after all, except for the golden goblin, no one can use the holy sword anymore." ”

"But the holy sword is an existence used to protect, don't use them for territorial expansion!"

"But no one knows how long the Floating Continent will last. The Great Sage spoke, "We still have to go back to the ground after all!"

"Whose ground do you return to?" William asked rhetorically, "For the current Asians, the Floating Continent is their home, and the ground is just a symbol, a name. There are plans to go to great lengths to return to the ground, and it wouldn't be better to think about how to make the floating continent last longer?"

"But...... Won't you be unwilling?" the Great Sage clenched his fists and said in a trembling voice, "Our family, our friends, all our efforts and efforts have been destroyed by the Seventeen Beasts, don't you want to regain everything you have lost?"

"Of course I want to, of course I'm not reconciled!" William sighed, put his hand on the shoulder of the great sage, and said helplessly: "If I can regain the ground by sacrificing my life, I can fight to the death without hesitation." But O Swan, hatred is not a reason for us to act recklessly, and even if you take back the ground, will there be any relatives there who can say 'welcome back'? No, there is nothing but a desolate land. Tie the entire subhuman race to your chariot for this, do you know how many people will die in it?"

"I ......"

"The meaning of the brave is to protect, not to protect human beings, but to protect all good. William said seriously: "There is no need for the subhumans to risk their lives for the hatred of humans, and the golden goblins may just be skeletons clothed in flesh and blood." But no matter what, the beauty they show is real, and that's what I want to protect!"

The Great Sage was about to say something more, but was interrupted by the Black Candle Prince.

"Give it up, this man's stubbornness, I saw it as early as five hundred years ago when he went beyond the limit and released seven forbidden spells on me in a row. As long as he chooses what needs to be guarded, no one can change him. ”

The Great Sage was silent for a long time, looked at William and said, "So compared to humans, did you choose those golden goblins who died in the twilight of life?"

"I didn't choose the Golden Elf, I chose the future. William shook his head: "Humanity is in the past. ”

"Humanity will not be the past!" the great sage shouted, "I will not change my decision!"

"Coincidentally, so did I. William replied, "So I'll protect those girls!"

"Stupid man!"

"Maybe, but I have a clear conscience!"

The reunion of former friends has become full of gunpowder, and the comrades who fought together for the same goal five hundred years ago are now divided. One of them chooses to protect the past, the other chooses to protect the future, both sides have their own reasons, and they can't seem to tell right from wrong, and this is the biggest tragedy.

"Human beings are always full of contradictions. Cortana crossed her arms and nodded pretendedly. She was born as a god, and she can't understand the helplessness of human beings, but Yingluo, who was once a mortal, understands this entanglement.

"Let's get down to business, whether it's the past or the future, the most important thing is to grasp the present. Yingluo said, "Before you decide what to do, at least understand the ins and outs of the matter." Now be quiet, and I'll tell you the truth of everything!"
