Chapter 1797 Goodbye
"Did you summon me?" The Undead King appeared in front of Duran and was summoned to the opposite world. The blue fire flickered in his empty eye sockets, as if asking Duran what his next plan was?
"I want to ask you for a favor, which will probably waste decades of your time." Duran said.
"What do you want me to do?" The Undead King was very cooperative and had no intention of being unwilling. Although decades are not a short time, because the Undead King himself has not really lived through the years of super lifespan, the days as a human and after crossing over are only thirty years in total. This Undead King has not experienced the vicissitudes of life and has not really experienced the loneliness of immortality.
Duran's request is very simple, that is, to protect Caiyue Ang all the time and protect him from death. Duran wants to see if Caiyue Ang will go back in time if he dies of old age.
The Undead King doesn't know why Duran asked him to do this, but he accepted it. He just asked: "What good can I get from decades of life?"
"You will know that your previous fears and pursuits are not worth mentioning. You are an immortal soul with eternal life. You should look beyond the horizon of mortals and look at a hundred years later. After a few hundred years, the kingdom will turn into a hill, the beauty will become a dry bone, the civilization will become dust, everything around you will change, and you will be the only one that does not change. You will be at a loss, you will like to reminisce, and finally you will be sad and resentful, and even pray for death. But in the end, you will still re-examine yourself and the world, and understand that eternal life means eternal death. If you can't find something that makes you happy and keep yourself energetic, you will become a prisoner trapped in the material forever."
These can only be experienced by immortals. The Undead King is just an immortal who has just started. He still thinks like an ordinary person and strives to complete his goals in a short time, but he will soon find that time is the least valuable thing for immortals. What really matters is the inner impulse to do something, and the sense of accomplishment and joy after doing it.
The Undead King still couldn't understand what Shi Yue said, but he agreed to help.
"Very good." Duran went to Emilia again and said that he was leaving. He hoped that she could become the king when they met next time, and also asked her to be careful of Mezas.
After saying this, Duran took out the time machine: "Then we'll see each other in sixty years." Duran wanted to go directly to the time when Caiyue Ang was old.
The Synchronizer said, what the hell, they might all be dead in sixty years, and the earth would be unified.
Sixty years is too long for them, but for Duran who has a time machine, it's just a moment, except for wasting a lot of energy.
Sixty years later...
The kingdom is still the same, and the people still live and work in peace and contentment, as if nothing has changed. Emilia is a half-elf, so even after sixty years, she is still very young.
The manor is already in ruins, and Duran found the old people in the town and asked them what happened in the past sixty years.
The old man told Duran that Emilia was already the king, but the manor was destroyed in the battle. It turned out that the owner of the manor, Mezas, was a big villain. Fortunately, Emilia tried her best to defeat Mezas, and he was now in prison.
In the past few decades, Emilia has been committed to improving the education level of the people, improving the legal system of the kingdom, spreading love and peace, hoping that everyone can be equal, and ultimately achieve the goal of eliminating discrimination. But it is obviously not successful yet. The only thing to be thankful for is that the education level has indeed improved. At least there are many artists and writers in the kingdom, and these are all Emilia's credit.
After knowing this, Duran went to find the Undead King again. He now understands what Duran said at the beginning. When sixty years later, he was tired of many things. He told Duran that Caiyue Ang was still alive, but he was already sick.
The Undead King also knew that Caiyue Ang was also a time traveler, but he had no ability and was very pitiful: "He was not happy in this life." Looking at Caiyue Ang, it was like looking at himself as a social animal in the past. In addition to being incompetent, he always liked to shirk responsibility and lacked self-reflection.
"Has he not changed in sixty years?"
"He has always had a bad temper. Occasionally, he would encounter some good things, but he would always mess them up. There was once a girl who was willing to marry him, but he only knew Emilia. He also looked for many jobs, but every time he would fall out with his colleagues, and he has achieved nothing until now." "For a while, he was always making trouble and seemed to be seeking death. If it weren't for my secret protection, he might have died." The Undead King completed the task brilliantly.
At this time, Caiyue Ang was already an old man on his deathbed, with white hair, but he still stubbornly wore the tattered sportswear. He looked at the shabby ceiling with empty eyes, as if recalling the short and beautiful memories with Emilia.
The villagers said he was an old lunatic, because when he was occasionally sober, he would say that if it weren't for him, Emilia would not have become king. Unfortunately, now one of them is a beggar and the other is a king, and Nayuki Ang's sober words are regarded as crazy talk.
Since Emilia became king, she has never had any intersection with Nayuki Ang. Even Ram and Rem have never come back.
For the time traveler, the most miserable thing is not being in a desperate situation, but being mediocre. Time travel does not actually represent the change of two worlds, but represents an opportunity. If you still do nothing after time travel, then nothing has changed just like when you were on Earth.
Crossing is an adventure that breaks the rules and common sense of the earth. The travelers break the shackles and liberate their nature. They are either good or evil, and they do things that they dared not do before. Crossing is more like a liberation movement of human nature, a race to change life.
Of course, Caiyueang proved what a failed traveler looks like. Fortunately, he seems to have a chance to start over.
Duran found that although the witch energy in Caiyueang's body was weak, it still existed, and it seemed that it was enough for him to complete a rollback.
"Do you still know me?" Duran looked at Caiyueang.
Caiyueang had to work hard to recall. He remembered Duran. For a while, he wanted to find Duran for help, but Duran seemed to have evaporated from the world: "It's you, kill me quickly, kill me quickly." In fact, Caiyueang couldn't accept that he had been failing, so he tried to commit suicide, but for some reason he couldn't die. He suspected that Duran was secretly playing tricks, and this time he guessed right. The Undead King prevented him from committing suicide many times.
So when he saw Duran, Caiyueang had only one wish, that is, to die. He is now old, with many problems, and he is in great pain.
In order to protect Caiyueang, the Undead King also fought with the high-end combat power of this world many times, consuming many eleventh-level mystical scrolls. Many times, there were dangers, because the highest combat power in this world can control time and space. If it weren't for the fact that the Undead King also had the aura of a time traveler, he would have been sacrificed long ago.
But in the end, the Undead King was lucky enough to fulfill his mission.
Duran looked at Caiyueang, who was about to die, and found that he had not changed much until now: "It seems that you haven't met a beautiful girl who can change you. It's really unfortunate." Caiyueang will only change for beautiful girls, but because of Duran, he missed many beautiful girls and regretted it for the rest of his life.
Hearing this, Caiyueang's turbid eyes couldn't help but shed two lines of tears. He thought of Emilia, Rem, Beatrice, and those excellent girls.
Girls, ah, those girls who were lucky enough to avoid Caiyueang, they are all very happy now.
