Chapter 1796 Let’s Go!
“…”
Another long silence.
Witt was still flying towards the depths of the Endless Sea with Finger.
There were too many dragons in the Ten Thousand Dragons Feast. To put it bluntly, Witt thought that with his strength, he could not protect his student.
Therefore, staying away from the Ten Thousand Dragons Feast and the Fast Continent was the best choice.
Not all dragons could accept the appearance of the Abyss Dragon.
Even if Finger had not chosen to attack just now and just watched him send Violet and the others away, even if he recognized that this was Finger, he would not hesitate to do his best to kill him.
Every Abyss Dragon is a huge disaster for the Dragon World.
Yes!
Finger is his student.
But if Finger was completely lost in the power brought to him by the abyss, his student would have died.
If it really came to that, giving his dragon soul freedom was the only thing he could do as a teacher.
Fortunately, things had not reached that point yet.
Like Skechers, Finger still retained his consciousness.
However, Finger is not Skechers. Their pursuits are completely different. Skechers is fighting against the power of the abyss with all his heart and soul, and he will not yield.
Finger actively absorbs the power of the abyss into his body to gain stronger power.
Therefore, Skechers can persist for thousands or tens of thousands of years, but Finger, let alone thousands of years, will completely become an abyss dragon that pursues power wholeheartedly in a few tens or hundreds of years.
In that case, the same thing is true. He can only give Finger's dragon soul freedom.
Save?
What can he do to save him?
When Finger took the initiative to accept the power of the abyss, he was already inseparable from the abyss. Not to mention him, even if his father came in person, there was no way.
Things have already happened, so this is an established fact, a fact that cannot be changed even if you go back to the past.
When he thought of this, Witt felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
"Are they also your students?"
Finger's voice pulled Witt's thoughts back.
"Yes, if we count the order in which they met me, Violet was the first, Betty was the second, you were the third, and Bu was the last.
Bu was much luckier than you.
At the beginning, I took her back from the dragon egg from the hands of the dark alchemist.
Betty's luck was worse. I rescued her from a dragon nest that was targeted by the dark alchemist. At that time, the dragon nest had been slaughtered, leaving only her as a young dragon and a batch of dragon eggs.
Vilite was the luckiest. She was born in the dragon city-state, her parents were both there, and they were powerful. She was also my first dragon egg.
Oh, by the way, I have another student. If you really count, he is my second student.
Like you, he was also accepted by me when I was involved in time travel. At that time, I was only a few hundred years old, and he was a young dragon living in a dragon's nest in the endless sea of sand in the continent of Sekent.
But in fact, there is a time span of more than 8,000 years between me and him.
When I met him again, he had entered old age and only had about 2,000 years left to live.
And now...
Alas! "
Finger stared at the flying dragon in front of him in a daze.
He could see that his teacher might not be more than 4,000 years old, but he had experienced many things that dragons would never experience in their lifetime.
And those dragons who were students of the one in front of him, like him, they... had been lucky!
"Do you hate me?"
Suddenly, Witt asked.
Finger was stunned for a moment, and then his scarlet eyes fell on Witt.
Hate?
He actually asked himself this question.
But...
"How can I hate!"
Without the teacher, he would have been killed by the dragon. It was the teacher who saved him, gave him the opportunity to become stronger, and made him see the vastness of the world.
What does he hate?
If he hates, he only hates his suspicion at the beginning. He had seen it a long time ago, but he still chose to show his thorny side to the teacher.
He only hates that his talent is not good enough and his strength is not strong enough.
As for choosing to embrace the abyss, he originally did not regret it, but now...
"It's good not to hate..."
Muttering, Witt saw an island in the distance and flew towards it.
"At this distance, they can't catch up in a short time. How about watching the sea with me for a while?"
"Okay!"
Accompanied by a dull sound, Witt and Finger landed on the edge of the island.
Witt found a beach and lay down.
"Can you restrain your breath? The snowflakes are blocking the sea."
Finger silently restrained his breath and then crouched down next to Witt. However, the beach he touched directly was quickly infected by the power of the abyss.
Seeing this, Finger subconsciously prepared to move away from Witt.
"It doesn't matter. It's just a little bit of the power of the abyss that escaped. I'm very familiar with it and it won't affect me."
"..."
Finger didn't reply, but he still stopped.
Afterwards, the two dragons fell silent and looked at the sea in front of them quietly.
There is nothing to see at this time. After all, it is daytime. After removing the dreamy filter of moonlight, the only advantage of the daytime sea is its vastness.
"Remember, more than 15,000 years ago, we lay on the sea like this. I gave you the blue ice magic and let you go out on your own."
"Yeah!"
"Huh——"
Witt let out a long breath, then turned his head to look at Finger, his eyes full of complexity.
The same scene, but he had to say the same thing again.
"You... leave!"
"..."
Witt was silenced in response.
"Leaving this world and going to the abyss is good for you and this world. The teacher is incompetent and couldn't take you away back then. Now...
I can't save you or protect you."
There was a slight fluctuation in Finger's eyes.
"It's not your fault. It's my own choice. However, if you let me leave, then I will leave!"
"Well, whoever bullied you, tell the teacher and the teacher will help you get revenge."
"..."
When Witt saw that Finger didn't speak, he smiled and knocked on his mechanical right arm.
"I don't remember that you have a talent in alchemy. This was given to you by another dragon. Such a blunt connection should not be your will.
No one pursues power for the sake of pursuing power.
I don't hesitate to incorporate the power of the abyss into my body and improve my strength. I can't think of any other reason except revenge."
"..."
There was another silence, and then Finger let out a sigh.
"Morris, Abnut, and Lopez."
Witt glanced at Finger's left eye, which had a scar on it.
"Abnut is still alive?"
To be honest, Witt was a little surprised. Of course, the most surprising thing was that Finger would actually have a connection with Morris.
"Well, he is very cunning. After being ambushed by me once, he immediately left the Olivia continent. Lopez is his companion. If they join forces, I can't beat them."
"Where are they?"
"They are all active in the Fives continent... They are all legendary high-ranking!"
Hearing this, Witt understood what Finger meant and grinned.
"Let me tell you a joke. The dragon that saved you more than 15,000 years ago is less than 4,000 years old now. Give me a little time and I will help you get rid of them.
How about this joke, is it funny?"
Finger laughed softly.
"Hehe... Not as funny as before."
