"Hahaha......"

The gray-robed mage fell to the ground with a gloomy face, but he laughed like a maniac.

"Boss, are you alright?"

"Your Excellency, are you alright?"

The three martial arts old men, the ten "blood thorns" of the iron-blooded battalion, rushed to the gray-robed mage's side almost at the same time.

In the battle just now, they couldn't intervene at all. This is the sorrow of a martial artist, even if they are a fifth-level or sixth-level martial artist, although they are enough to resist the mage in the case of fighting each other, but when the high-ranking mage "self-destructs" regardless of it, they have no way.

Just because they're not mages.

Their perception and manipulation of the elements are not at the same level as the perception and manipulation of the elements by a high-level method, especially the self-detonation high-law, and the difference between the two sides is incalculable.

"It's fine. The gray-robed mage waved his hand, but then, there was an uncontrollable cough, but immediately, he waved his hand at the "blood thorn" again, and the ten people who surrounded him should scatter.

The "self-detonation" of a high-ranking mage is not a joke. Although he was expelled by the shadow guards at the last moment just now, his consciousness was extremely damaged, and his mental power was even more depleted, and the most fatal thing was the great damage to his body caused when his consciousness and spiritual power were completely withdrawn from his body just now, which together was enough for him to have no chance of turning over in the future

"Is it really okay?" The gray-robed warrior crouched down, half-holding and half-hugging the gray-robed mage to sit and lean against a large tree.

"I can't die for the time being, I just can't be a mage anymore. The gray-robed mage said in a low tone, and then said to Sharjah, who also flew over, "How is Fang Tian's little friend?"

"It's fine, just hit and was seriously injured and passed out. Sharjah said with a palpitation.

Hearing this, the four old men were all relieved that for them, the so-called serious injury after the impact really can't be regarded as anything. Even if there is only one breath left, it is equivalent to nothing. ――Can an impact injury be called an injury?

"Boss...... The thin old man lost his usual rebelliousness, and said to the gray-robed mage with a worried face.

"It's just that I can't be a mage, and I can live like an ordinary old man for a few years. The gray-robed mage's face was very gray, but his expression seemed to be very good, and he even said with great interest: "Old fellow Sharjah, guess what I just saw?"

The few people who were asked by him were not happy at this time, but they could only smile and cooperate. Sharjah said: "What did you see, senior?"

"Well, you guys are stupid!" the gray-robed mage scolded with a forced smile, "What could be happier for a mage than to see the scenery on the other side?"

Just now, the gray-robed mage did see the scenery on the other side, the scenery that belonged to the archmage.

Luo Shan said before, "You waste will never have hope for the rest of your life." ”

He is not without reason.

As a "person who has come over", even if it is only a half-cut "person who has come over", he is qualified to make such a judgment. But he did say it wrong, and the reason for the mistake was also what he once said - the world is unpredictable.

No one knows what will happen to a person in the future.

The decades after the gray-robed mage took over the secret camp were decades of bondage.

This restraint had firmly tied him to the position of a senior mage, and it was difficult to move.

Luo Shan saw this, so he said "waste", "there will be no hope".

The gray-robed mage himself did not see this in himself.

But just now, under Luo Shan's "self-explosion", he knew that he was invincible, but he chose the path of sacrificing himself, and then at the moment of sacrificing himself, he also understood something. ...,

Decades ago, on the battlefield of the two frontiers, he struggled like an insect and ant, and although he was on the verge of death every day, his thoughts were extremely pure. Consciousness and will merge to produce a tremendous force that propelled him forward for one goal - to survive and ascend.

And then he really survived and was promoted.

When he reached the ninth level, he became a quasi-Dharma and a mage. And in the days that followed, it became the first law, the middle law, and the high law. The insects and ants that were on the verge of death in the past also turned around step by step, and finally turned into one of the superintendents of the secret camp with great power.

The shadow of death is gone, and the purity of the past is gone.

The incomparable fusion of consciousness and will in the past is also gone.

He did become a high-level mage, but he also lost the most important thing about being a mage. And this loss, he can't see.

But just now, he saw it.

Decades ago, he felt a force that allowed him to move forward, but just now, he felt another force that could make him refuse to retreat.

Before sacrificing his life, he thought it was "face".

But what "face" is more precious than life? Especially for a high-level mage who has walked through death. What's more, he retreated under the "self-detonation" of a crazy quasi-archmage, who can say anything about him?

But he still used the same sacrifice to meet him.

At the moment of sacrificing his life, he knew that it was not "face", but "responsibility".

The responsibility of one of the most powerful people in this place. This kind of responsibility is not his face, not the face that he can face the boss, the old buddy, and Fang Tianxiaoyou without shame in the future, but his own will and dignity as a senior mage.

At the moment of giving up, he felt what "supreme power" was, and at the same time, the long-lost "purity" came again, and at the same time in his consciousness and will.

Responsibility is a kind of bondage.

Responsibility, but it is also a kind of fulfillment.

Perfected in bondage.

It was this realization that allowed him to see the course of his life in the past few decades.

He has spent these decades in bondage. The bondage to the power of the empire gave him majesty, but it also deprived him of his purity as a mage. But now, he saw that this bondage, while depriving him of his purity, was also giving.

Giving something else.

The other can likewise give birth to something pure.

The transformation of consciousness is only a moment, but this moment determines whether a person's consciousness is the consciousness of a senior mage or the consciousness of an archmage.

However, why did it take the same time to have such an insight after the loss?

If one step earlier......

The gray-robed mage shook his head with a gloomy face, and said to the three thin old men: "Old guys, I have to trouble you, send me back to Southern Xinjiang." I would like to see the view again. It suddenly occurred to me that I still liked it there. ”

Then, he said to Sharjah: "Don't tell Sù Xiaoyou what happened, just say that it is an ordinary assassination, and there are some things that should not be a burden to him." ”。 ）
