Chapter 572: Generational Transmission of Responsibility
Sivi stared at the gloomy glow in front of him, and he was a little at a loss as to what to do.
After all, this is the core of the banyan tree, and this mass is the core of this tree, and God knows if this space will collapse directly if he accidentally breaks this thing.
"No, I think there's a high chance that the outer barrier will collapse."
SA ...... called through the College Beacon Ahem, I mean Fitt floated at the height of the mass after listening to Sivi explain what was going on, muttering and poking tentatively.
However, as a ghost, her actions did not have any physical effect.
"Why would that old man be so relieved of me? What if I'm not the one I'm being prophesied for, or if something goes wrong and I just destroy this place? ”
Sivi frowned, muttering to himself with some confusion.
"I think it's because there's no way to determine whether you're the prophesied person or not, so he let you in." With his hands behind his back, Fett floated to Sivi's side, pale green dots of light rising and waving around her, causing the girl's black ponytails to glow with a little green glow.
"What does that mean? Do you rush to the doctor when you are sick......"
Sivi pinched his eyes with a headache.
"I can relate to his feelings." There was no joke on Fett's face, she stared at Sivi, and said in an incredibly gentle tone: "Maybe at first it was impulsive or otherwise, and the promise was made, but as the years passed. The ancient promise turned into a heavy sense of responsibility, which weighed on the shoulders, and became more and more heavy with the fermentation of time......"
Sivi looked at the girl in front of her, although her eyes were still facing Sivi, but the scene inside was no longer him, but the lonely and strong time that lasted for five hundred years.
But the more I went on, the more I was worried about the future as my strength waned. Once we get used to the responsibility on our shoulders, we are always afraid of the day when we let go of it – what will we become at that time? Whose shoulders will this responsibility fall? I think the old man you're talking about is like that...... It's just different from me. I just gritted my teeth and held on to the seal. And he endured not to die until the day he completed his mission! ”
Indeed, although elves live far longer than humans, it is not possible to span thousands of years or anything.
Just 'endure and not die'...... Could something that sounds unthinkable really happen? Is anyone really going to do this for the sake of so-called responsibility?
Facing the expression on Fitt's face that was serious to the extreme. Sivi couldn't articulate the doubts in his mind.
He knew it. To seal the Lord of Death. The girl who sacrificed herself and turned into a ghost for 500 years resonates with the old man who guarded this ideal town and even endured immortality for the sake of his promise.
"As you described. In order to prolong his lifespan, he should have merged with this sacred tree in their mouths, and he turned himself into a semi-plant state to barely survive until now. But this animal-to-plant conversion should be excruciatingly painful...... During this time, in order not to make himself a complete plant, he should endure the pain and desperately maintain his consciousness, which is why he waited for your arrival. For him, it doesn't matter if you are the prophesied person or not, what matters is that he can finally fulfill his promise and unload the burden of a thousand years. ”
With unconcealed respect in his tone, Fett looked at the path on the wall. Obviously, compared to her, this old man who has silently endured thousands of years of pain just because of a sentence is more able to interpret the meaning of the word 'responsibility'.
At this time, Xiwei also thought of the relieved feelings in the old man's eyes when he came down.
He suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and then slapped the ghost girl in the head who was immersed in the sadness of the past, because of the use of magic, although it still only passed through the girl's body, but it still made her feel it as a ghost and startled.
"What are you doing?" The girl shouted angrily with her teeth and claws. It was as if Sivi was going to bite off a piece of meat on him as long as he couldn't come up with any good reason.
"That stinky look doesn't suit you at all."
Sivi ignored the ghost girl's threat, "And don't think that the Lord of Death has been killed by me, you will have no responsibility at all!" Now you are one of the three sages of Edric, before our academy became the number one in the world...... No, even after our academy becomes the number one in the world, you don't want to leave the burden and quit! ”
Probably thinking that this was a bit hypocritical, Sivi didn't look at the girl in order to hide his shyness, and turned his face to the gloomy clump that emitted a ghostly light.
However, the girl simply used a sentence to destroy the current atmosphere.
"What do you mean by carrying a burden?"
“……”
Xiwei scratched his head speechlessly: "Don't worry about the burden for now, it's more important to continue to think about how to pass the so-called trial." ”
He looked at the girl with a rather dissatisfied expression, and added, "Besides, you don't want that old man to put the blame on the wrong person, right?" ”
This sentence was like a magic spell, and it made Fett quiet all at once.
"Anyway, all we have to do now is take out the magic book inside, right?"
The girl watched around the mass for a long time, and then shook her head: "No, there is not a trace of magic outside, and I can't find runes or anything like that, so I don't know how to do it!" ”
"Speaking of which, I've got a good thing."
Sivela pulled the academy system's achievement shop panel, paid a certain number of achievement points, and purchased a master key from it: "Qiang Qiang Qiang!" A magic key that can be opened no matter what! ”
"Oh, it seems to be very powerful, so hurry up and open this thing to see if the so-called magic book is in it."
Fett looked in amazement at the key-shaped magic item in Sivi's hand, which fluctuated subtly, but was indeed very delicate.
"I still have one more question before I open it, though." Sylvy held the key in his hand and made an insertion motion out of thin air: "Is there a hole in that thing where you can insert a key?" ”
“……”
Well, the answer is no.
"What do you want!" Sivi threw the key to the ground with a look of indignation.
"You should be aware of this problem before you even take this thing!" Fett sighed helplessly.
"I'll have to try something else......"
Sivi touched the lump and sighed.
Just as he was about to start the second miracle, Fett suddenly said, "Sivi, that is ...... There's a crack on it! (To be continued......)
