Chapter 63: The Regrets and Past of the Lord of the Gray Capital, the Curse of Constantine
After the Lord of the Gray Capital finished his shocking words, he floated beside Lu Mingfei, observing his reaction.
However, Lu Mingfei didn't have any envy or jealousy on his face, he just smiled: "Can you heal a fatal injury, plus gain great strength, and this kind of good thing?" β
Through his clear eyes, Coyne could be sure that Lu Mingfei really didn't care about the demon's hand.
"Aren't you envious?" Coyne asked.
Lu Mingfei's steps were steady, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he whispered: "Actually, I already have a lot of things that I couldn't think of before...... Compared with this kind of thing, I actually envy my brother's woman fate so well. β
"And...... I'm more powerful than before. β
After thinking about it clearly, he realized that he was actually still the boy who longed for the "ordinary and happy" that he had never had.
To have it doesn't mean you need to keep taking it.
The power he has has changed a lot of things in him, making him confident and courageous, but he still has a "kindness" to others in his heart.
The many trials and bloody and cruel battles of the last days have not wiped out this part of his essence.
Just like Chu Zihang, under the seemingly embryonic appearance, what is hidden is their fiery heart. They walk on the path they have chosen, stubborn and resolute, and use their own light to light up the night.
Therefore, the current Lu Mingfei will not be jealous of others.
"Remember what you think now, it will be your precious treasure."
The small floating cube buzzed up and down twice, and Coyne's exclamation came from it: "I've seen too many people who are lost in longing...... That kind of person has always had a layer of estrangement from the world, even if he often has a smile on his face, it is more like a disguise that he is accustomed to. β
"That kind of person is terrible, and if you are not careful, you will stumble and fall into the abyss and become a real demon......"
"But what makes me glad is that you seem to have someone around you who can give you a sense of security and make you move forward firmly."
"There is still unfading goodness in your heart."
There was something deeper in the old man's words, and Lu Mingfei couldn't understand it yet.
Life experience is such a thing, and only with the passage of time and constantly walking through new chapters can it be grown...... It was only a few months of apocalyptic life, although it made him much more mature and calm, but it could not make him realize and see through everything immediately.
The one who can do that kind of thing is the Buddha, the enlightened one.
But Lu Mingfei is just an "ordinary person", a young man who has only turned 18 years old this year.
A person who is not able to get out of the shriveled life that binds him without the help and support of others, is like an abandoned puppy.
He didn't go on on the topic, just whispered thanks, "I'll remember, thank you, Mr. Coyne." β
The teachings of the elders, he did accept.
Some children may find it annoying to be taught by the elders at home, but Lu Mingfei is different.
He has been separated from his parents for eight or nine years, and he has lived in his aunt's house for a long time, and the "care" he has received is really handful.
When Lu Mingfei recalled, it was more about scolding and counting, which may be one of the reasons why he gradually closed his heart in the past.
This old man, who seems to have talked a lot because he hasn't seen anyone for a long time, gives him the feeling that he is like an ordinary old man who is nagging his grandson.
Although it is a little verbose, the words that contain a certain expectation also make people's hearts feel a little warm.
In Lu Mingfei's "growth" process in the past, there had never been such a person who could be called an "elder" who gave him such gentle teachings...... Although it was only the first time they met, this generous old man had a very good impression on him at this moment.
Unlike the disregard and contempt he had experienced in the past, Coyne's attitude towards them outsiders was quite gentle.
If he had any questions, the old man gave him answers as best he could.
Lu Mingfei didn't completely relax his vigilance now, but he also felt that if these were not disguises, then this Lord of the Gray Capital was indeed an object worthy of his trust......
A person he trusts more than Ange, who is bold and gentle and cares for his students.
There was a lot of curiosity about the life of this old man, and Lu Mingfei asked, "Are you living with Miss Deng Luxi?" β
"Miss Lucy Lamp, and another Miss Aris I haven't seen before...... They must have been with you for a long time, right? β
There was a lot of remembrance in Coyne's voice, like a cup of mild, fragrant tea: "Although they have not been with me since birth, it has been a long time......"
"I was born thirty years after the end of the world, and my knowledge of what I know about so-called 'normal life' is all through documentaries and books."
"When I was younger, I was very similar to you, and I felt that I could definitely change something, so I worked hard to do a lot of things......"
"Although, in the end, nothing was done."
In this last sentence, Coyne's tone gave people a feeling of endless regret.
Lu Mingfei had learned a lot of information about this world in the "Rabid Dogs" and the spiritual fragments of those Red Tide Phantoms.
He knew that at the beginning of the apocalypse, alchemists and scientists worked together to develop the technology of "alchemical structure", so that humans had the power to resist Pamish.
Later, a great alchemist improved the alchemy construct and created incredible techniques such as the [Speech Spirit Counter Mechanism], which made the alchemy construct more powerful.
That alchemist is the master of this gray city, "Koinasis", the "Lord of the Gray Capital" Koyin.
"I know a little bit about the situation on your side, that is, because the alchemy structure cannot resist the erosion of Pamish for a long time, so you want to study demons and create new organisms that can not be affected by Pamish?"
Lu Mingfei recalled the pale infected body that emerged from the red tide, and his heart was awe-inspiring, and he had a deeper understanding of the regret in Coyin's tone.
The technology created by Coyne must have turned into an even more terrifying weapon of death after those alchemical constructs were infected by Pamish......
The special mechanism that can counter the spirit of speech is a nightmare for the half-blood, and after the half-blood, which is far inferior to the construct, loses the power of the spirit of speech, it seems to become a chicken waiting to be slaughtered in front of these powerful infected people, and it is powerless to resist at all.
"Yes, the technology I have improved has not become a torch for humanity to save itself."
"Instead, they have become a disaster that destroys the last hope, and the people of this world are cornered, and perhaps they cursed me at the last moment before they died."
Coyne's voice sounded calm.
Even if he said such ruthless and cruel words, his tone didn't fluctuate much.
It's like describing a pale line of text in a textbook, without any emotion.
"βPerhaps, this is the curse of Konstantin."
He said in a deep voice.
PS: Oh, the point of this quest is finally here.
