“ ? ?． ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? e n 'o?rg," the old man said lightly.

"Sometimes the truth is far more absurd than the story," the man said meaningfully, "but fortunately there is no one in this world who can stop a magician from pursuing the truth." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, this sentence seems to have been said by Roland, don't you think it's a bit ironic?"

The man shook his head, "I have no intention or qualification to comment on the merits and demerits of my predecessors, in contrast, I am more concerned about how a person can deceive the god of time and gain eternal life in a mortal body." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but have a touch of fanaticism on his face, which had always been calm.

No one can resist the temptation of eternal life, even the bravest people will fear the destined death, the cold nothingness, this is the fate that all creatures on the Dawn Continent cannot escape, death is the most equal thing in the world, it chases everyone, from the king to the beggar, and when the day comes, no one can escape.

Until that man appeared, he quietly erased his name from the gears of fate.

"I finally understand why the two people at the end of the story parted ways, because Roland has been thinking about how to help humanity win that war, and the other person has always been concerned about how to make himself immortal, from the beginning they were not all the way, even if they walked side by side for a short time, but after all, they just took what they needed, that person led Roland into the door, using the latter's ingenuity to help him overcome magical problems, and Roland also used this rare opportunity to touch the door of magic, which is why the Saint Laurent Brothers School of Magic has not participated in two magical wars, compared to eternal life, race and affection are too small. ”

"But you've also said it's just a story. After a long silence, Claire looked up.

"Yes, but this story did pique my interest, and as crazy as it sounded, I still couldn't help myself from thinking about it, because I was so excited about the possibilities that it contained, so I did a lot of research, and the more I looked into it, the more frightened I became, all kinds of signs showed that there was indeed a ghost hovering in the sky above Guderis, in fact, not only here, but also the whole south, the human world, and even the Dawn Continent were everywhere with his traces, he hid in the shadows of history, it seemed that he never existed, but he was everywhere。 ”

"However, you don't have any real evidence that the person is real, so it's probably all just a fantasy in your head. The old man said mercilessly, "In the end, it is all because you are too afraid of death, and it seems to me that all this is just a coward's self-deception and self-hypnosis." ”

This time it was the man's turn to fall silent, and he unexpectedly did not refute Claire, but nodded, " You're right, in fact, ever since this thought came to my mind, I have been wondering if I have gone mad, and even though the Inquisition later told me that my conjecture was not wrong, there is still a place in my heart where I can't stop questioning all this, and I even begin to wonder if it could be a trick of the Inquisition to get me to work with them to catch the person they want to catch. ”

"You still choose to cooperate with them, knowing that?"

"Because I don't have any other choice. The man sighed, "I've been searching for an answer for so many years, and now it's almost time to unravel the mystery." ”

"What are you going to do?" until this moment, the expression on Claire's face was still very calm, which also made the man involuntarily have a trace of admiration.

The man snapped his fingers, and the white space gradually became transparent, Claire could see the wind and yellow sand outside the space, and the square area they were in now was suspended above a small sand dune, and less than fifty meters away from them, there were several low-level magicians who were trying their best to repair a broken magic circle, and they seemed to be oblivious to the sudden appearance of this transparent hut.

"Spatial concealment?visual interference?Is your level on the magic array already strong to this extent?"

"Compared to magic that can touch the essence of life, this little trick is just a small skill of carving insects. The man said modestly, and then briefed Claire on the current situation," We are now in the freshman competition field in Bentham Town, and the teleportation array on the third and fourth floors has been destroyed by me, as you can see, although the magicians below are working hard to repair this teleportation array, I can assure you that with me, this teleportation array will not be repaired in any way, so we have about two months left, but to be on the safe side, I will shorten this time to fifteen days, no matter whether I can get what I want within fifteen days, I will leave here, so strictly speaking, what happens after that will only affect your fate, and I hope you can choose carefully。 ”

"What to choose?"

"It's very simple, after the exchange just now, you must have a preliminary understanding of your own environment, and I believe that even in such a dangerous situation, you must still have the means to get in touch with the outside world, so I hope you can help me give a message to that person, if I still don't get what I want after fifteen days, then unfortunately, I'm afraid I can only choose to kill you." ”

"I know what you're thinking, but unfortunately you made a mistake, you think you can coerce him if you catch me?"

"As I said before, I've done a lot of homework over the years and I know you're his student, friend, follower, former lover......"

Claire directly interrupted the other party's words, "Have you ever raised rabbits?"

"Oh? What does that mean. ”

"If you have ever raised rabbits, you will know that the lifespan of a rabbit is only seven to twelve years, compared to humans, their life is too short, for rabbits it is likely that there is only one owner in this life, so the owner is its whole world, but for the person who raised rabbits, this rabbit is just one of the many rabbits he has raised. ”

The man's eyes lit up when he heard this, "So that story is true?"

"True or fake, what's the difference, have you ever thought about a question, if a person really exists, how much humanity can be left in him after such a long time? The whole world is just an oversized toy in his eyes, do you really think that I can help you exchange my life for the secret of eternal life?"

The man thought for a moment, then sighed, "It seems that it can't, but I really can't help it, so it seems that we can only try." ”
