"Love stays on the top of the mountain, on the valley of reason. Love is the sublimation of life, the pinnacle of life, and it is rare to appear. —Jack London

------------------

Mu Yan forgot which regiment commander said to him, anyway, to the effect that if a person of the opposite sex targets you everywhere, or even holds a knife to your neck, you can postpone the crisis by only expressing your love sincerely. Unless you're a well-known asshole, this sensual creature is bound to be soft-hearted.

Judging by the current situation, the regimental commander is right. In such a short moment, Mu Yan saw at least three expressions on the other party's face: shock, doubt, and shyness.

The trend is good.

“…… But I know that the distance between me and you is so cloudy, so I have always buried this feeling in the bottom of my heart and never told anyone about it. This time my soul came here, as if it was Mia's will......"

Mu Yan has been sick in bed for more than ten years, and he has not been in contact with a few real game houses of the opposite sex except for the nurse aunt and his mother, and it is already commendable that he can say these words, and he really doesn't know how to make it up next, his face is flushed with anxiety, and he really looks like he is nervous and speechless.

Suddenly, he had an idea, slapped himself, and then lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what I'm talking about, I shouldn't have bothered Miss Soulia...... I made it all up, so you pretend you didn't hear anything. ”

He inadvertently resorted to the trick of wanting to cover up, and the gibberish seemed more real.

Surya looked at him in a daze, perhaps because of this confession, the other party's alternative black hair and black eyes seemed a little kind to her.

Not knowing how to face a confessor, she sat to the side blankly.

Feeling out of danger, Mu Yan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the other party's concerns have been dispelled for the time being, but since the system has not been prompted, there is only one possibility, that is, it will only be prompted if the prestige of the mission objective has changed.

Time passed minute by minute, until a stiff skeleton brought supper, and neither of them said a second word.

"Is he called Zaix?" Surya was the first to break the dullness.

Mu Yan nodded. "Do you know anything about him, too?"

"No, he caught me when I went to Nightshade with my team to kill that man-eating flower."

"What about the others?"

"I've been arrested one after another, and I may have ......," Surya's voice was a little muffled.

Mu Yan looked at the distant back of the skeleton, thinking to himself, eldest sister, if you look at it more, maybe it is the skeleton of your former teammate......

"Do you know him well?" Sulya asked again. "I don't know why, he didn't shy away from me when he talked to you just now, and the others were obviously blocked by the soundproof barrier......"

Hearing her say this, Mu Yan suddenly had a very bad thought in her heart.

Only the dead keep secrets.

That's not right-

She still competed in the year of the sparkling flower, and later got engaged...... Wait, there's no such talkative person in the game! What if Surya had the same effect on Zaix as he did for himself? Without her own intervention, the teenager named Grasshopper would have died in an abandoned manor, and there was no second person in the cell, and then Zaix had no one to use, so she had to target Surya, so she survived.

But now he not only appears here, but also looks like a fan brother who suits his appetite......

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was reliable.

"Miss Surya, did he say anything to you?"

The girl thought for a moment. "He seems to have said that I am a good talent, and I need to live for the time being......"

Didn't run away! It must be so, the role of the two is repeated......

"Mr. Shamu?" Seeing that he was in a stupor again, Surya called his name softly.

"In. I'm sorry, but it's easy to get out of the way. He barely managed to squeeze out a smile. You can call me Shamu. ”

"Okay then, Xia Mu, I listened to your communication just now, he is also from Morning Star? But Manarola seems to be the name of the area along the southeast coast of the Turing Empire......"

"Well, that's right. Mr. Zaix was born in Manarola, and his first fifteen years were no different from those of ordinary fishermen, but at best he was naughty. But at the age of fifteen, a tsunami changed his life and made him a noble mage. Mu Yan paused and continued: "You may not have heard of Zayx, but you should have heard a little of the name Damian Jones, right? ”

"Of course I've heard of Damian Jones, the genius mage who joined the Jones Chamber of Commerce, and whose poignant love story with Miss Grace is widely circulated among the bards."

"That's right, Damian is the pseudonym of Zayx, and Miss Grace Jones is also his beloved, and the relationship between the two is as eternal as gilding, but it is precisely because of this relationship that the purple-robed (level 40-50) mage Damian has become today's necromancer Zayx."

He added in his heart that he would become a mad lich in the future.

Surya's mouth opened wide in surprise, and she couldn't recover for half a sound.

"Why is this happening? Has anyone done something in jealousy? ”

Mu Yan shook his head gently.

"If you talk about jealousy, maybe that kind of affection is what Goddess Mia is jealous of, so she will take away Grace's soul early. Because he missed his lover who died of illness too much, His Excellency Zaix devoted himself to the Necromancy School without hesitation, and deeply studied the forbidden art of resurrecting the dead, which led to his expulsion from the Mage Association, expulsion, and expulsion from the Turing Empire. ”

"You mean ......"

"That's right, the handsome man who stood in front of you just now, who is more elegant than an elf, is a madman who deals with corpses all day long, and is full of thoughts about how to resurrect his beloved!" Although Mu Yan said so, his eyes were full of admiration.

"What is magic? Magic is all about making the impossible possible, so I'm confident that with his love for Miss Grace and his devotion to the mage's path, he can achieve it! ”

He added in his heart, of course it will be realized, otherwise how did the maddening third stage come about three years later?

In the game, when the player finally faces Zayx, he will go through three phases of combat, the first two stages will summon various deformed flesh creations and use soul attacks to delay time, and then in the third stage, after absorbing enough moonlight essence, Grace will stand up from the ice coffin and block the scarred Zayx, unleashing a monstrous rage on the player.

In the end, after the player wins the battle, the bone of Zaix and Grace will hug and die together, and the souls of the two will dissipate hand in hand under the moonlight, and the phantom is still the appearance of their love in life, this scene is also remembered by countless people.

After all, it was the most beautiful scene in the entire Immortal Courtyard.

"But...... But that's a forbidden technique......" Surya didn't seem to accept such a view. "And he hurt so many innocent people for the success of the experiment......"

That's why necromancy kills people! Negative energy as opposed to life can not only cause irreversible damage to the caster's body, but also indirectly interfere with his mind, as exemplified by Zayx......

But Mu Yan wouldn't say this, he suspected that the other party had left a surveillance prop such as the Wizard's Eye here, and he still had to make a strong appearance on the surface.

"Miss Soulia, the law of the jungle is the law of survival, there is nothing right or wrong. You were born with a golden spoon in your mouth, the cost of a meal may be worth nearly a hundred farmers working hard for a whole day, and a piece of clothing may not be affordable for some people to work all their lives, have you ever felt guilty about such a life? Of course not. Why? Because you were born this way, and you are used to it. This is the law of the jungle. ”

"In this respect, Mr. Zaix is no different from most nobles, except that he takes away his soul and body, while you take his life and dignity. So what is the difference between 'forbidden arts'? ”

Sullya was blushed by his words, her head drooped slightly, and she didn't speak again for a long time.

On the other side, Zayx really had eyes and ears here, as Mu Yan expected. At this moment, he was sitting in the study, leaning against the sofa, with a book with a black cover and white trim spread out on his lap.

However, his eyes were not on the book, but on the portrait on the wall.

It was a beautiful woman, her long silver hair hanging down like a waterfall, and her expression was serene, like an angel who had fallen into the mortal world.

"Lily, am I really not doing anything wrong...... Is it really like what the little guy said? ”

The mage's murmur was full of confusion.

------------------

"Then Xia Mu, is your purpose to become a powerful mage like him and dominate the life and death of others?"

"Of course." Mu Yan's expression was very firm. "But one thing you said is wrong, my purpose is not to control the life and death of others, but to control my own life."

"Your own life?"

"That's right, my own life.

"In the past, I was too weak to rely on others for whatever I did, but now, since God has given me the opportunity to start over, then I must seize it, and I must seize it at all costs! Life is meaningful only when it is in your own hands, and being pushed by others to live, what is the difference between that and the walking dead! ”

His words seemed to be agreed by Surya, and the corners of the girl's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a sweet smile.

For a moment, the dim cell seemed to be shining into a bright ray of sunlight, and even the air was a little more charming.

"You're right, life is only meaningful if it's in your own hands. That's why I chose to run away from marriage and take risks. ”
