Chapter 423: Life and Death
The souls of the dead on the whimpering beach are still swimming freely, and the two living people are like grains of sand falling into the sandβinconspicuous.
However, their arrival still attracted the attention of some people. The undisguised, even deliberately identifiable outfit is the culprit.
Buzz's senses are now very keen, so he quickly notices the eyes of the peeping eyes. But looking at Pa Chu, who was casual beside him, he felt that he was too suspicious.
So he asked, "How many people are there around here?"
Pachu, who was carefully observing the dead soul at close range, didn't even raise his head, "Counting the one person who just left, it's about seven." β
"Probably?"
"Hmm! There were signs of magic fluctuations in the outer woods, but I didn't see anyone. β
Buzz was a little worried and surprised, "Can't even you see through it?"
Pachu shook his head, "Our abilities are ever-changing, and we can encounter helpless situations at any time. β
"That's why you're indifferent?"
Pachu was slightly stunned, then laughed, "Like those people, I'm only here to investigate the souls here. As long as they don't act aggressively, it's not on my radar.
If I have the chance, I will even have some necessary communication with them. As for indifference, it's just because it's habitual. β
"Does Northland know about the situation here?"
"Yes. Pa Chu turned his head sideways, "Actually, there are many people who are interested in the dead, but only scholars dare to get to the vicinity of Northland City. β
Pachu's teasing didn't have the desired effect, and Buzz nodded seriously, "This should be the most correct decision I've ever made." β
Pachu laughed noncommittally twice and continued: "At the beginning, you only saw eternal life, but others had different ideas.
Some people do not have the luxury of eternal life, but they are also full of anxiety about the afterlife. They feared that their tombs would be vandalized and that the burial items would attract thieves.
The appearance of these dead gave them hope.
Initially, the dead in Sandstone City could only wander in the Land of the Dead, which led to some misunderstandings. What could be better suited to guarding a mausoleum?
It's just that now we all know that it's not death that restricts movement.
When the Necro Knights of Sandstone City set out on their expedition, people learned their true purpose. Can anyone stop such an army?"
Pachu smiled slightly, "Here, there is also the army of the dead outside the rest of the city. Do you think of it, what do they look like? A huge pocket, which has long enveloped the various forces.
This is just a test, a test of people's hearts. β
Pachu shook his head, "Presumably those people have realized it, but they still haven't been able to stop their ambition to gain this power. They still don't understand that this power can only be gained through gifts, not stolen. β
Buzz's heart moved, "Just like your apprentice, Saja?"
Pachu glanced at Buzz with a smirk, "And you and me." Don't you realize why we are the only ones who go deep into the sobbing beach, and why do the people who are watching us stay on the periphery?
Have you forgotten that a scholar was attacked and killed in Sandstone City?"
"Looks like you really forgot. Pachu sighed, "The life and death of those little people may not be nothing, but you should not forget the valuable experience you have gained in exchange for your life. β
In this way, Pachu and Buzz walked forward in conversation and observation. Until a black dragon roared overhead, the whole beach suddenly became agitated.
What is this monster doing here?Pachu and Buzz looked at each other and chased after the black dragon with this question.
The black dragon Maya did not slow down because of them, and soon turned into a black dot and disappeared into the sky. Buzz was a little annoyed: "Where did it go, can you keep an eye on it?"
"Front. β
Pachu didn't explain much, just sped up.
By the time they were halfway through, Maya was already whistling back over them. But it didn't matter anymore, because Pachu had already seen where it had just landed.
......
As he got closer, Pachu first noticed the difference, as he saw the fluctuations in his magic. So he picked up his pace again and left Buzz behind.
As Pachu wished, there were indeed wizard souls there that had retained their abilities during their lifetime. But unlike the other ghosts, there were still people among them who were still conscious.
After seeing Pachu who had arrived in a hurry, someone nodded and said, "Hello stranger, I'm Gesha." β
"Pachu. β
Seeing Pachu looking at them warily, Gesha spoke again, "I can feel the will of my master, so you don't have to worry about being hurt by us.
It's just that most of my companions here are not familiar with your language, so they have to let me come forward. β
Pachu nodded slightly, "I'm a wizard like you, and I've decided to continue my wizarding path after death, so I'd like to ask you a few questions. β
Seeing Gesha nodding, "When did you regain consciousness?"
"I didn't lose consciousness. When death came, I didn't even know I was dead. Gesha raised his hand and gestured, "They're just like me, and that's how we found each other."
Maintain consciousness, and there is no necessary connection with the wizard. As you can tell, we're not all wizards.
With so many people dying, only a handful of people remain conscious in front of them, and there is no pattern in this. The once high nobles have been reduced to ignorant fools, and powerful wizards have become lowly mortals. β
"Don't worry about that. It only takes some time for the vast majority of them to regain consciousness. Compared to those mortals, we wizards are already rare. But here, almost half of them are wizards. So the wizards are still powerful, but compared to the opponents of the time, we are humble mortals. In line with the principle of exchange, Pachu revealed some information first. Then he continued, "Is your magic still growing after death?"
"It's been stagnant for a long time, and it's only recently started to slowly improve. Speaking of this, Gesha was suddenly stunned.
Pachu politely waited until Gesha came to his senses.
"Does mana drop significantly after death?"
Gesha nodded, "Yes, our magic is tied to **. Without **, my magic is gone. β
Seeing that Pachu didn't mean to continue asking questions for the time being, Gesha took the opportunity to ask a more concerned question: "You just said that you will continue the path of a wizard after death?"
Pachu shook his head, "It's not accurate to describe death, some people think that your current state is actually - eternal life. As a wizard, I don't care about this form of life or death. The loss of a mortal body may be the beginning of breaking free from the shackles.
It makes me very jealous of your current state. β
Gesha sighed, "But I was still killed, and the people outside. Even after death, I still can't be freed. The magic here contains a strong will, and the longer you stay here, the tighter you will be bound until you become a slave to it. β
"No one enslaves you, and no one binds you. Pachu's expression became very serious, "From what I know about the Grand Wizard, he won't bind anyone.
He just offered a choice, an exchange.
If you really want to be liberated, just leave this beach that is shrouded in his will. You will slowly weaken and usher in the relief and peace you want.
It's that you don't want to give up hope in this life. "Still worried about the latest chapter I can't find? Amway One or search Hot/degree/Net/text "Remember to remove it when searching"/"Otherwise you can't find it", here is a young lady to help you find a book, and chat with you!
