Chapter 505: Chewing Demon Island (11)
To-to-To-To-
It was the sound of an axe slashing on a tree, that is, on my "body".
It's a bit slow, but it's really working. This...... That's enough.
When I was a human being, I would never have imagined that one day, I would be madly thirsty for death.
But right now, death is the only thing I want......
A long time ago, I was a person who was extremely attached to life, because I had a qiē.
My family is very wealthy and powerful. From a very young age, I understood that I didn't need to work, I didn't need to give, I just had to ask for it, and my demands would be met.
I spent my teenage years in public school, and I think my family wanted me to experience civilian life.
I'm very glad I was able to have this experience, which made me see a lot of things, even ...... Changed my life.
In those days, I often heard the parents of some classmates say to their children, "Don't lose at the starting line."
Want to come in years...... That's one of the saddest things I've ever heard.
If life is really a race, then the person who crosses the finish line first is simply dying faster.
The truth is that there is no starting line at all, because this is not running. It's just that they're running, and people like me were born to sit on the back of Pegasus...... There is no need to run, and it is impossible for them to catch up.
Later, I gradually understood that the starting line in those people's mouths actually had nothing to do with me; They are hope...... Your own child can get ahead of other runners.
But...... Even then, I beg to differ. Origins aside, "talent" is also a factor that cannot be forced. IQ, appearance, and talent are also innate advantages that mediocre talents cannot catch up with in their lifetime.
Their only capital is hard work. But they do not recognize this, and they waste their time and energy indulging in self-satisfied fantasies and meaningless cheap pleasures.
They are sympathetic, but they are ...... Not worthy of sympathy.
As a young man, I left this environment and went where people of my stature were supposed to be.
I saw another world...... A hypocritical, cruel, disgusting world. The people there come from a similar background to mine, they are well-off, hot-tempered, and self-serving.
They reminded me of my time in public school, where at least I could make real friends.
As the years passed, I grew up in the best of what my family could offer. Pengsheng hemp, not to help himself...... Eventually, I succeeded in my studies and embarked on a career in public service, and gradually adapted to dealing with all kinds of people, and I also learned to do whatever it takes to cut the grass and eradicate the roots......
Finally, at the age of forty-three, I became the prime minister of the kingdom.
I am the youngest prime minister in the history of the kingdom, and I am in power, with a large number of henchmen, rich and suave. Men are looking forward to my life, and women are looking forward to coming into my life.
I, with a qiē.
And the next thing that comes to my mind is...... How to keep this qiē for as long as possible.
I secretly controlled the kingdom's Academy of Sciences and Magic Academy, and even the commander of the Royal Sorcerer's unit was my confidant. The resources of the whole kingdom are at my service, trying to figure out ...... for me The method of eternal life.
But...... Ten years passed, my mind began to dull and my body began to decline. Even though I treated my body like a temple, the demon of "aging" still came as expected. And there is still no substantial progress in the study of eternal life.
I started to take risks. I've visited the Dark Arts Guilds, the Demons, and even traveled to the wilderness outside the kingdom in search of otherworldly things.
These are absolute taboos, but I can't care about them anymore, and the study of the art of immortality itself is expressly forbidden anyway.
The fear of aging and dying has made me desperate.
With this in mind, I found them......
"Murder Brothers", only the rumored and terrifying duo remains. It is said that the two of them are from the criminal clan, and it is also said that only one of them is a criminal clan...... Of course, that doesn't matter. Importantly, they are geniuses of alchemy. Even the Governor of the Royal Sorcererer's Force told me that if anyone could complete the art of immortality, it would be their brothers.
I was overjoyed, and my heart played a song of hope.
Now it seems...... It was actually a prelude to despair.
I found the two brothers, Arthur, and Andrew.
They took a lot of precious treasures from my private treasury in return, but I didn't feel distressed. As long as I have eternal life, it will be easy to accumulate wealth.
On my fifty-fourth birthday, my long-awaited alchemy began.
The qiē of that day was vague and chaotic. I can't remember the details anymore, all that flashes through my memories is horror and pain.
When I regained consciousness, I came here, Chew Demon Island.
This is not my world, and those two hateful liars have sent me to another world, to an evil god.
The penal, the supreme god of the criminal clan.
I was sacrificed, teleported to his dimension, and fell to his knees......
Then, I learned the ridiculous, sad, and terrible truth that the torturer was nothing more than a prisoner on the island of Chewing Demons.
However, it was still easy for this prisoner to subdue an opponent like me.
My magic vanished like a juggle before his eyes.
I was "sewn" by him in a huge tree of mockery. Stitch...... I sewed it with my own tendons.
He put a curse on me.
I...... Finally got eternal life.
True eternal life that can't even be done by suicide.
Time flies, I don't know how many years have passed...... I became one with the tree behind me.
At first, I thought the poisonous tongue of this tree of ridicule was torture. But later...... I'm used to it.
Until one day, it died.
The Trees of Taunt, too, have a lifespan, and they will also die. When the time of death comes, they stop talking and turn into mere rotten wood.
That day, I cried, but I couldn't shed tears.
From that day on, I was accompanied only by endless loneliness. Even a word of scolding has become a luxury.
I remember when I was a child, I heard a down-and-out troubadour sing this ballad in the street: "Wine and wealth are all mirrors." Fame and fortune will eventually become a thing of the past. ”
A person's life is long enough. What is never satisfied is only human desire.
People ignore what really matters, but chase those apparitions, so when they die, they leave nothing but regret.
I paid for my greed, and the good thing is ...... It's over.
Yes...... It's about to break, just a few more axes.
What I see now, these clear memories, are just a marquee......
Huh? Are you the Grim Reaper? Great, I've waited too long for you...... Too long...... RS
