Dust...... Settled.

With a smile on his face that was mixed with bitterness and sarcasm, Penny looked at the serene face of the girl in his arms - the blood had been wiped away, there was still a faint breath left between his nose, and it was still a long time before he became conscious, Penny was not sure if it would be Fina who would wake up from this body in the future, but he still had a glimmer of hope.

But the situation is hopeless for him.

Because of his actions, he was assisting someone he should never have helped, although he had no choice:

Fina couldn't die because of this, and Penny understood the reason for the chief of the Prophetic School to do so—as angry and angry as he was, the wizard knew that in the end, he was the one who was holding Fina down.

He knew that if Fina hadn't come to Serre with him, Visharon, who had only gone through a failed ritual, would not have been able to hit Fina with his mind.

He did not expect that the situation would take a turn for the worse after entering Serre, and that he would finally stand opposite Sazastan, but he had no reason to shirk his responsibilities.

A feeling of self-reproach filled Penny's mind.

The pale bodies of Yefaan and Aznashur lay around him, while Sazastan, dressed in a red-robed robe that didn't fit well, still stood peacefully in the middle of the ruins, densely packed with necromantic creatures silently surrounded, the lich's body's glowing phospho fire with subtle emotion, and the sound catalyzed by spells was empty but real:

"You see, the rules of this universe will always make you face this kind of laughing and laughing choice, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Penny smiled bitterly, and the tragic situation around him reminded him that his choice seemed to be completely different from his original goal: "Lord Sazastan, I really don't want to help you. ”

He said very frankly.

Because he knew enough about the lich in front of him - this lich was not at all swayed by the 'inferior' feelings of love or hatred, and he had no pure friends or enemies in his concept - in a way, he was playing with the whole world, and anyone could be his hindrance, or his stepping stone, his help.

An arrogance that rises above all beings.

It is precisely because of such arrogance that he is unwilling to submit to the mercy of any rules and wants to create his own world.

With such arrogance, how can people be provoked?

"You helped anyway. Sazastan said in a very pleasant tone, but Penny was 100% sure that the pleasure was just a disguise: Sazastan's disguise as a 'person': "Since you helped this time, then do it with me, little friend." ”

He looked condescendingly at Penny, who was half-crouching on the ground, as if expecting his answer: "Think about it, young man, since I am a pawn, what is the difference between being Io's pawn and being my pawn? ”

"Lord Sazastan, I don't want to be a pawn of an ancient evil. Penny did not answer Sazastan's question directly, and although the situation seemed to have reached the point of despair, he still waited with Sazastan with hope, trying to find a silver lining.

"Ancient evil?" said Sazastan with a smirk, seemingly disdainful, "How can you challenge the rules without the power of the rules?" to me, it's just a tool to use, you think too highly of it, kid. ”

"But if you break the old chessboard, the pieces on the board will fall into the abyss, and I have to say that it is a very cruel thing, Lord Sazastan, please forgive me for not having such a huge heart to take on such a responsibility. ”

"Weak kindness, not beyond my expectations, but you have already done such a thing. Sazastan's phosphorus fire swept over Fina on the wizard's chest and scoffed: "Even if you don't do my ...... Belch...... What does the average person say, oh, accomplice, yes, accomplice. No one will be grateful to you, especially after they know what happened here today...... They will have good reason to hate your weakness, of course, in the face of the choice just now, at least 999 out of 1,000 people in this world will not do better than you, but it is a great pity that you are the one standing there just now. ”

He spread his claws, his shriveled face looking like he was about to put on a regretful expression.

The wizard who hugged Fina had a gloomy face.

"Of course, you are a high-ranking wizard and can fly to Greyhawk or Alberon with your lovers. Sazastan withdrew his bone claw and suddenly sighed: "Well, in fact, I can give you such a path, if you don't go against me." ”

Penny's heart was pounding, he couldn't imagine that Sazastan would show such a meaning.

It is not difficult to understand that Sazakstan has only a purpose in his heart, and there is no obvious joy or hatred, so if an enemy can give up being his enemy, he will not chase after him for a little holiday...... At the same time, Penny felt a chill in his heart - because Sazastan really knew him, and it was because he knew him that he would put forward such a condition.

At the suggestion, Penny was intrigued.

Ye Fa'an's plan was completely defeated, and Ser completely fell into the hands of Sazastan, and Panny didn't know what would happen in the future, but he was sure that since Sazastan dared to expose the power of the ancient evil here, he must have no scruples, and he had full confidence and turned the face of the righteous camp - you must know that the appearance of the ancient evil will inevitably be unanimously attacked by the righteous camp, and many red-robed mages who have just escaped in the big war have witnessed this scene, and this news is absolutely impossible to hide...... The next corollary is logical: Sazastan is fully sure that his plan will succeed.

The defeat of the last group of figures such as Yefaan who had some hope of being able to stop Sazastan seemed to foreshadow the inevitable success of Sazastan in the future.

And now Penny can't do anything...... He knew very well that he was definitely not an opponent of Sazastan.

Perhaps the only way out is to escape this world before the Chief of the Undead completes his blueprint.

Sazastan is willing to give him such a way out.

Penny began to hesitate.

On the one hand, reason reminds him of the importance of life: he has died once, and he is on the verge of death countless times, and he definitely does not want to die, not to mention that he has a way out, and he does not necessarily have to fight with Sazastan - he will definitely lose desperately, and reason tells him that he can no longer do anything now, and there is no point in dying and struggling.

On the other hand, although the little blood in his heart has been almost exhausted in his long wizarding career, the remnants of his good character and sense of responsibility still make it difficult for him to make up his mind to follow the guidance of reason and choose to escape.

However, Sazastan's next sentence made him enter a new hesitation: "You only need to give me one thing is enough, with your surname and ambition, that thing is also a burden to you." ”

"The treasure key of the ancient empire, there should be at least three parts on your body. Sazastan spread his withered claws at Penny, and the phosphorus fire in his eyes turned into two shadows again.

He knew, Penny's heart was shocking, he knew everything.

The wizard's amazement reached a new level, but it soon occurred to him that since the matter was stained with Pendrim, it must be related to the monuments of Imasca—in his past experience, the two things were almost like twins at the same time, but what did Sazastan want Isil Aaron's key to do?

It must have something to do with his plan, and in an instant, Penny understood that the crux of the matter had fallen back to him.

As long as he handed over the key, Sazastan would let him go, however, he also took Sazastan's plan one step further, and thus took on greater responsibility for the destruction of the world...... As if crushing the last feather of a camel, the scales in his mind tilted in an instant, and the swaying expression on Penny's face turned calm.

Sazastan sighed, and although he had already expected what the wizard's surname would make him decide, he still felt a pang of regret: "You don't need to think about it any more? I still have a lot of time, you can think about it, maybe think about it for a little more and change your mind." Young man, life is precious. ”

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Excellency. The wizard straightened up, and his tone was no longer confused: "It is precisely because life is precious that I cannot accept that millions of lives have been destroyed because of my greed for life and fear of death, which will make me sleep forever, and a life that I cannot enjoy with peace of mind has no meaning to me, so I must refuse your offer." ”

"Alas......" Serge's necromantic chief let out a long sigh, as if a great regret, and drove him to try to make a final persuasion, "It's a very boring emotion, Penny, how can you know so sure that you will regret it bitterly?" The gestation of a new world is very long, when you are above the world, then all living beings are just straw that can be harvested at will, when you become the master of the new world, a long time will inevitably let you see through all these illusory and dispensable emotions, no, even if you live another three or five hundred years old, you will have this feeling. ”

"Then I lost what I call myself...... Lord Sazastan, you have lost your sorcerer self!"

A sharp word burst out of the wizard's throat.

Penny didn't expect this to shake Sazastan in any way—a figure like Sazastan, whose mind was as strong as the strongest stone in the multiverse, could not be shaken by a word or two from someone else.

However, what surprised him was that at the moment after the words came out, after the vibration in the air, he saw the dark light mist in Sazastan's eyes distort and change color.

He's even confused?!

Penny never dreamed of it.

This is simply the good luck of the blind cat and the death of the mouse, and it is also a godsend.

He threw out the Seal Tower, and the powerful suction sucked Sazastan into it, and Penny was instantly overjoyed.

This magic tool, which was originally used to seal ancient evil things, really played the most powerful role here.

The sellock of the Enchantment on space and source power also dissipated, but immediately the joy in Penny's heart was poured with cold water:

The Seal Tower trembled violently, its surface began to crack in the cracks of small cracks, and soon it was out of his grasp, and the surrounding undead army rushed towards him restlessly, and the keen perception of regaining freedom also made him aware that there was another will in the sky that was as terrifying as Sazastan's staring at him.

And with the success of his plot against Sazastan, this will also locked him, and Panny suddenly felt that the surrounding source force had changed again, trying to block his power.

If you don't leave, you won't be able to go.

Without hesitation, he activated the teleportation technique as fast as he could, escaping from this land of right and wrong.

The Seal Tower exploded with a loud bang, and the Chief of the Undead appeared in the middle of the gray smoke with a somewhat disgraced face, and Hyraste appeared out of thin air above and slowly floated down, pointing at Sazastan and laughing:

"Hahahaha, you've miscalculated again, Sazastan, I knew I should have gambled with you. ”

"I said that everything in this world can't be under my control, after all, I didn't make it. The phosphorus fire in Sazastan's eyes flickered twice: "Besides, didn't you stop him the same?"

"The change happened so quickly, and I didn't expect that you would also suffer under his little tricks. Hylaste pouted, "If it weren't for my weakness at the time, I should have taken his keys, but it doesn't matter, you should be able to find him." ”

Sazastan shook his head.

"What?" Helast was surprised, "he went to the outside world, and even then, you should be able to know which plane he is in, and you have mastered his methodology, which will not bother you." ”

Sazastan still shook his head: "He ruined his methodology." ”

Hyraste's mouth opened wide in surprise.
