Chapter 51: The Obsession of the Dead

It turns out that my actions have been monitored by you for a long time, and sure enough, nothing can be hidden from your eyes, Jean Neda said self-deprecatingly

No, Fawkes shook his head, you did a very stealthy job to hide from everyone, but you can't hide your eyes, your majesty, he has long been aware of your abnormality, I was just ordered to wait for you to show your fox tail

It turned out to be the prophet of His Majesty who had lost to him, and I was really convinced, Jean Neda smiled bitterly, and then his eyes were full of murderous aura, but did His Majesty predict that you would die under my sword

What happened next was a surprise to everyone present - Jean Neda suddenly lunged forward and pounced on Fawkes, because the speed of the royal knight was too fast, and Ray, who was standing next to Jean Neda, had no time to resist Fawkes's side, and even more so to react

In a thousandth of a second, Faulk's figure in the eyes of Jean Neda is getting bigger and bigger, he has now forgotten how to be afraid, although Fawkes is a soldier, but he has not been on the battlefield for a long time, his combat skills are inevitably rusty, and now he has even forgotten all the basic contingency actions such as drawing his sword to defend, and he sees that Jean Neda's sword is about to stab into his body......

In the mysterious library of the Isle of the Dead

Surrounded by countless books, Owen was sitting motionless on his knees

At this time, Owen has entered the state of out-of-body soul, since he can't communicate with those obsessions in the form of soul fragments, then go directly to find the manipulator who controls these obsessions - Owen believes that these dead people will not leave their obsessions in the books for no reason, there must be someone behind the manipulation, and it is likely that the guards of this library, as long as they can defeat themselves, they will no longer be hindered by these obsessions

Owen left his body in place, his soul wandering around the library, and since spirits were invisible, he had no difficulty navigating through the barriers of those shelves, but as his soul drifted farther and farther away in the library, Owen felt his soul vibrate violently, as he realized that the area he had just passed through was only the tip of the iceberg of this library

Originally, Owen thought that there were millions of books in the library, but now it seems that the number of books in the library is too underestimated, let alone tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, billions, or even hundreds, that is to say, this library contains the lives of tens of billions of dead people, is it possible that all the people who have lived since the emergence of this generation of Olopa civilization must leave their mark in this library

Just as Owen wondered if his soul would wander endlessly in this shocking library, he saw rows of bookshelves sweeping behind him, sparse and scattered on top, and finally all the shelves were empty

It was only then that Owen finally found the end of the library

At the end was an equally large door, and on the ground in front of it lay an old desk and an old-fashioned chair, on which a very young girl sat in a very old dress, with long, wavy brown hair draped down casually, and a quill in her hand, and several books were placed on the table in front of her

And what surprised Owen the most was that the girl's body was translucent, even the clothes she was wearing - this state proved one thing, the girl Owen met was nothing more than a spirit, and she was a ghost of a dead man

Of course, if it is a spirit, it is possible that it is a living soul like Owen, but Owen is convinced that he is the only one who knows the art of out-of-body in the three continents of Olopa

Seeing that the female ghost was very concentrated, Owen took a step forward and was about to speak, when he was suddenly preempted by the female ghost

It's not easy for you to be here, the one who has come to me alive for thousands of years, you are the second female ghost to say to Owen, but she never stopped working when she spoke

The second

That's right, the first person came here twenty years ago

Twenty years ago, did you say that you were talking about my master?

I don't know, the female ghost replied, but the pen in her hand was still rustling

Who are you

Elsa Marais

Are you the caretaker of this library Owen looked around and asked the female ghost that you wrote these books

That's right, it's my job to collect the memories of all the souls of the dead and compile them into a book, which is also the Lich King's wish

The Lich King's wish: Is this the reason why you gave up the chance to be reincarnated after you died, and stayed here to write a biography of the deceased?

Yes, the Lich King is a benevolent adult, and he hopes that everyone who has passed away can leave behind the proof that he once lived in this world, and when he is alive, he may have the status of high and low, the experience, the gain, What is lost will be different, only death can give all people the only equality, and it is precisely because everyone has to face death that the evidence of their existence becomes so precious, so whether these dead people are reincarnated, or sleep next to the gods they believe in, or become lonely ghosts wandering in the world, the evidence of their life must remain in this world forever

It turns out that this is the case, no wonder those soul fragments in the books have such a strong obsession, hoping that other people will read their stories

Yes, Aisha replied, so it was wise that you didn't destroy those shelves and books just now, otherwise you would have been swallowed up by the intense obsession of all the souls here

According to what you say, I understand that it turned out that the desire to be remembered by others for a long time was not from the obsession of these dead people at all, but just the obsession of the Lich King himself, Owen snorted coldly, but he himself did not want to be forgotten by others, but imposed this obsession on all the dead in Olopa, throughout the ages, but he didn't realize that in fact, life and death were just the laws of the Heavenly Dao

Ah, Owen's words made Elsa's soul tremble slightly

Death is not the end, birth is not the beginning, the human soul is constantly reincarnated between life and death, the so-called body is just a shell for the soul to temporarily lodge, after death, the body can be abandoned, so why care so much about whether it is remembered by the living, the Lich King is too self-righteous to do this

At this time, Aisha's ghost stopped working, she slowly stood up and lifted her face, and in front of Owen's soul was a transparent, but stunningly beautiful face, but this beautiful face was clearly full of resentment and murder

Although your soul is very young, but you have just offended the Lich King, and now you can only appreciate the mercy of the Lich King by writing your dying life into a book.
