Chapter 2023 Life and Death

"I promised to give King Kong a big piece of candy, but I didn't say that I can't cast a spell to make the candy bigger. How can this be cheating?" Joan argued seriously, "The enjoyment of eating candy is fully reflected in the throat. At that moment, the candy I gave King Kong was big enough and sweet enough, so that the satisfaction he enjoyed was not compromised. Even if the promise was fulfilled, as for the candy after it was digested in the stomach, it turned into more or less feces. Is it important?"

"Well...that really doesn't matter."

Audrey was defeated, but Hailar was not convinced, and jumped out to take over the baton and complain.

"Joan, you've changed. You didn't know how to say this kind of nonsense in the past. I don't know who influenced you. You changed from a pure boy to a shrewd little fox."

"It's not influenced by you anyway."

"Hmm...?" Hailaer grabbed his ponytails, blinked his eyes, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, "What do you mean by that? Are you praising me for being innocent, or are you joking that I'm not smart enough?"

"Usually when you encounter this type of question..." Qiao An pondered, "The answer is 'C', you must be right!"

"Hey!! How can there be a third option?! Please speak humanly!" Hailar was so angry that his ponytails were raised 45°.

Audrey covered her mouth and snickered, and winked at Joan again and again: "Run away, 'Little Pepper' will explode in anger later, and spray pepper seeds all over your face!"

However, Joan still couldn't escape after all, and was caught and beaten by Hailaer, and then dragged him to see his father forcibly.

Although Hailaer always has an air of fearlessness in front of others, but facing his father whom he only met after 18 years, he is still a bit cautious, so he specially pulls Joan to help him to be brave.

"My mother left her last wish before she died, let me try to find your burial place, and bury her ashes with you..."

Halfway through Hailaer's words, tears filled his eyes. He took up his mother's urn with both hands, and handed it to his father who had turned into a ghost.

Joan took a step forward, intending to add "Ghost Armor" to the urn so that Captain Green could touch the remains of his dead wife with his own hands, but Captain Green waved his hand to stop him. He took the urn with both hands, his eyes full of grief and nostalgia.

Under normal circumstances, incorporeal ghosts cannot pick up physical objects, but Joan suddenly remembered that Captain Green had controlled six physical swords in battle, and except for Tyrfing, the other five swords did not have "ghost effects" , but he still waved freely.

It can be seen that Captain Green is likely to have a constant "Ghost Armament" himself, which can interact with any physical substance when necessary,

Captain Green held his deceased wife's urn in both hands, and kept silent, as if recalling the past.

Audrey and Holden also came over. Seeing the scene where the father and daughter were relatively speechless and dejected, and infected by the sad atmosphere, they didn't dare to speak out.

The silence lasted for a long time. Captain Green put the urn in his pocket, raised his hand to caress his daughter's braids, and expressed deep and gentle emotion.

"Haira, thank you for everything you have done for me and Nanna, you are our pride."

"dad……"

Hailaer finally couldn't restrain the urge to cry, threw herself into his father's arms and wept bitterly.

Captain Green held his daughter in his arms, patted her on the back, and said in a low voice: "I and all the crew members of the 'Hellinghorn' who unfortunately died on Galti Island, couldn't sleep after death. Turned into a ghost, until today, 18 years later, with the help of Brother Herrell, Kate and you young people, finally get rid of the two shameless traitors, Francis Messinger and Am Flodie, Help me fulfill my wish for revenge."

"Haira, my daughter, you are my only concern in this world. Unfortunately, I can't continue to grow up with you. The tomb is the destination of Nanna and me. In the days to come, I will continue to serve you in the underworld." I pray that you will always be happy.”

"Father, please don't leave me!" Hailar choked and held his father's hand tightly.

"Hey, what does Captain Green mean?" Holden couldn't help asking his sister and Joan in a low voice, "Hasn't he already transformed into an undead? Since he is an undead creature, of course he can always be by my sister's side , why do you still say these sad things about life and death?"

Audrey sighed, and patiently explained to him: "The ghosts and resentful spirits in the world are all born of resentment, and Captain Green and the ghost sailors on his ship are no exception. Their bodies were already dead 18 years ago. Death is entirely dependent on strong resentment to keep the soul in the world."

"This so-called resentment, to put it bluntly, is a strong desire for revenge!"

"Now Captain Green's two enemies, Messinger and Frodie, have both suffered retribution. Captain Green's vengeance has been avenged. His wish is fulfilled, and the grievances of eighteen years have disappeared."

"With the loss of resentment, the soul regains its peace, and it is time to sleep peacefully. According to the belief in life, the soul will go to the final destination, or the heaven, or the underworld. In short, there is no reason to continue to stay in the human world."

"You may think that it is a good thing for the undead to live forever, but if you look at the issue of life and death from the perspective of the undead, you will come to a completely different point of view."

"Most living people are afraid of death, and always feel that death is worse than life, but the dead souls who have really died once don't think so. They stay in the world and endure the torment of the soul every day. The mental pain is beyond the imagination of living people."

"No one would like to live in torment forever. If given a choice, the soul of the dead would certainly desire to sleep peacefully, rather than wandering alone in the world with bitter resentment and pain."

"So, the moment of parting from father and daughter is pain and reluctance for a living young girl like Hailaer, but for Captain Green who has endured eighteen years of torture, the upcoming relief is a relief, eternal and eternal. A peaceful home."

After listening to Audrey's story, Joan was deeply touched. He claims to be knowledgeable, but when it comes to the hospice care of the dead and his insight into the psychology of the undead, he is far behind a "clergyman" like Audrey, after all, this is his specialty.

"Old friend, let me say a few words that spoil the scenery!"

At the moment when the Green father and daughter held hands to say goodbye, Herrell suddenly interjected.

"You can't sleep peacefully now, because you still have an enemy, an enemy who is more cunning and powerful than Messinger and Frodi, and has not yet been liquidated!"

Captain Green and Hyrule turned around at the same time, both eyes were looking at the storm giant, but their expressions were different.
