Chapter 483: Another Fierce General (Three Watches)
Hammerstone does not interfere in any way, and does not affect Ledroth's actions.
Only occasionally injected some bad words into Ledroth, saying that he couldn't save Callista, that his efforts in reincarnation were just useless, that all this was due to his selfishness, that he was torturing himself.
Ledros disagreed, believing that the curse was just a riddle to be solved, and spared no effort to save Callista.
But the hammer stone thunder could not be stopped, and the persistent preaching of hundreds of years finally planted evil fruits in Ledros's heart.
During Lydroth's last reincarnation, he thought of a way to free Calista by using this silver pendant to awaken Calista from the many faces of the Spear of Vengeance.
This method worked, but it wasn't enough to fully wake her up.
So Ledros called himself a traitor and let the spear of vengeance kill him, and he used his death to wake up Callista.
This time, he really succeeded.
But just as he was about to succeed, an unexpected happenedβan oath of vengeance from afar, and Callista, who was about to be freed, summoned back to the body of the spear of vengeance.
She left, and Lydros, who had gone through countless reincarnations of failure, ushered in the next reincarnation.
He could have concocted the same method to wake up Calista by killing him in this reincarnation, but because of the failure of the previous reincarnation, he lost the courage to try again, and was completely desperate.
If it is said that one thing must succeed for the hundredth time, then Letros chose to abandon it when he completed it for the ninety-ninth time, and let all the previous efforts be in vain.
In his heart, he had agreed with Hammerstone's statement, and the Soul Lock Warden was right: it was indeed a selfish idea to give her freedom.
He was subtly changed by Hammerstone, believing that Callista, though she had lost herself, was at least not tortured like him, and at least she still had a purpose.
Hammerstone's persistence for hundreds of years, just to gain a little pleasure from Ledros, such a scheming will make everyone shudder.
And the highest level of torture is to let the victim torture himself.
β¦β¦
Jano waited quietly until Lydroth stopped sobbing.
The dead cannot shed tears, but the act of crying can still provide them with an outlet for emotional catharsis, and this will not be changed by death.
"I wanted to forget her, I didn't want to torture myself anymore, but you came to me with a pendant......"
The pendant had been torn off, so Ledros had to tie it to his wrist.
"Looks like you've been tortured by the hammerstone." Jeno sighed, "Rescuing Calista has always been your goal. β
Jeno had to admire the mystery of fate, if it wasn't for him, the traverser, who got this pendant in the night of the Soul Eclipse, maybe no one would have been able to return it to Ledroth, and no one would have been able to help him unravel the cycle of countless reincarnations that plagued him.
"Hammerstone? You know him too? β
"Of course, you're not alone." Jeno briefly introduced Lucian, who just nodded indifferently, and did not have the situation that Jeno expected to sympathize.
It seems that in the eyes of this bitter and vengeful Demacian man, only his Senna is worth caring about.
Jeno didn't let Lucian's indifference turn the atmosphere cold, and while Letroth was puzzled by Lucian's undead body, he said to him:
"And don't you think it's strange that I took this pendant from the hammerstone?"
"He told me that it was useless for him to ask for this pendant, but the pendant still appeared in his hand." Ledras seemed to have figured out something, and his void face immediately distorted and split: "He's lying, and I've been deceived by him in the end!" β
"Yes, your efforts are not useless, you just need to see the results with one kick in the door, and a few more reincarnations to wake up Calista. However, you were deceived by Hammerstone, who denied your previous efforts, and you actually believed it, and gave up at the last minute......"
In the end, Jeno couldn't bear to continue, while the others were numb to hearing it.
The entire Shadow Isle is a living tragedy that is unfolding.
"I was so stupid that I just resigned myself to my fate...... But what's in it for that vicious guy? β
The thought of Hammerstone's playful face made Ledros unable to contain the fury in his heart.
"He's just happy to see you tortured, it's his bad taste. And I can take you to him for a break. β
"He must die!" Ledros clenched the hilt of his sword suddenly.
β¦β¦
A powerful undead swordsman was added to Jeno's team, but they did not make it to Helia through the Library Fortress, as their common goal, Hammerstone, lives in an underground vault outside the city.
This time, the leader of the group was replaced by Lucian, as he had previously conducted a detailed investigation of where Hammerstone lived. Therefore, Elise, the original "tour guide" in the team, saw that she was already dispensable, so she had the idea of retreating.
She quietly approached Jeno to discuss letting her go alone.
"Haven't you found a magical artifact yet? Why not keep following us? Jeno squinted at Elise, this woman's sincere appearance was still quite moving.
"Sir, I can look for the relics alone, as I have always done." Elise replied with a sincere fear.
"You're gone, what if the undead find us? You know it's not negotiable. β
Jano just took a fancy to the effect of Elise's humanoid mosquito coil to hold her to death, the closer to Helia, the more dense the undead will become, or without Elise, they will have to face tens of thousands of undead, it is really difficult to move an inch.
Yes, after the air purification, the word humanoid mosquito coil was also made for Jeno. If Elise knew that Jeno didn't treat her as a human being like this, she might be so angry that she molted on the spot.
Elise also knew in her heart that Jeno couldn't just let her go, just a little luck. She didn't argue, and her expression didn't even change much, and she was silent and ready to step aside.
But Jeno didn't just let her go, he had something to say.
"Follow us, and you might be able to get a few more magical relics. Make the most of your last chance...... The next time you visit, the magical relics on the Isle of Shadows may no longer be ownerless. β
With that, Jeno followed the group. And Elise, who was behind her, probably already understood what kind of thing he was going to do.
β¦β¦
In front of a long, narrow suspended stone staircase, Lucian ordered the group to stop.
This is the stone staircase where he died, and in the abyss below the stone staircase, he completed the transformation of the undead.
When he came here again, looking at the gate of the vault where Hammerstone had stood, there was only a cold killing intent in his eyes.
