Chapter 261

So much so that after being woken up, Fulilian had been murmuring beside Ai.

"If you could get up consciously, wash yourself, and get dressed, wouldn't you not have to endure this torture?"

Ash said this to Fulian.

However, Fulilian muttered.

"I understand all these things...but isn't it something I can't do?"

"Look at your tone, are you quite proud?"

Fulilian did not ask about the demons who appeared last night, because she believed that those demons must have died in Ai's hands.

Afterwards, Hugh Talk also approached Qi, and as expected, he also wanted to ask about last night's sweet dream.

And Ai's answer to Xiutarke was similar to what he said to Fearon.

"I'll take you somewhere, and on the way I'll explain to you what you want to know."

Shutark frowned and asked again: "Then, where are we going?"

Ji thought for a moment and pointed to a large mountain near Skol.

"It seems to be over there...if I remember correctly."

"...Why does it feel so unreliable?"

The expression on Hugh Tucker's face became strange.

After packing their luggage, Qi and others continued their journey.

With Jie Lai leading the way, a few people walked on a mountain road.

You can vaguely see traces of people walking on this road, but these traces were obviously left a long time ago, and weeds have begun to grow on this road.

"Where should I begin..."

While paying attention to avoid plants that might get stuck in clothes, Ash began to tell.

"A long, long time ago...well, not that long actually, just a few hundred years ago."

"At that time, a very powerful magician appeared."

"Because it was so long ago, people today know very little about that magician. This part of their understanding basically comes from the notes about magic research left by that magician."

"Through the analysis of his magic notes, people found that the magician worked very hard on the magic of immortality and life extension in the first half of his life, and in the second half of his life he began to study resurrection and soul-related matters. magic."

Listening to Qie's story, Feilun and Shutarke couldn't help but have a suspicion in their minds...

'That magician studies these magics...it must be for someone, right? ’

Moreover, it should still be a person who is seriously ill or has a short life span, but is very important to him.

At the same time, an impulse emerged in their hearts, making them eager to ask Ai whether the magician had succeeded.

However, reason kept them silent.

Immortality magic and resurrection magic...that kind of absurd magic cannot exist no matter how you think about it, right?

That no longer belongs to the category of magic, but to the realm of miracles. Only the legendary goddess of creation can achieve such miracles, right?

Ash continued to tell.

"The magician failed. He may have been a genius in the field of magic at that time, but his talent was still in the human category. He failed in both the magic of immortality and the magic of resurrection."

"But... he is indeed a genius. Before his death, he did create the most advanced spiritual magic in the world, which is the true form of Skoll's Dream Soul Festival."

After hearing this, a hint of understanding appeared in the eyes of Hugh Talk and Fearon.

"The function of that great magic is to force people into dreams and see people in their dreams who have died or will never have the chance to see them again. However, every time this magic is activated, it will take a year to collect the magic power. It won’t be launched again until years later.”

"The reason why the magician created this magic is probably because he realized that he could no longer see the important person in reality, so he wanted to see him in his dream in this way...even if it was just Self-deception.”

When Ai said this, both Feilun and Shutarke heard a little sadness in her tone.

To be able to create such a powerful magic, the magician must be a wonderful person. However, even such a great existence still lowered his arrogant head in the face of the cruelty of reality.

"Okay, we're here."

When Shutark and Fearon were feeling heavy, Ash's voice brought them back to their senses.

What caught the eyes of several people was a tree.

The tree was so thick that the four of them holding hands might not be able to wrap around it.

The giant tree's roots are partially dug out of the ground, making it difficult to get close to it.

That tree exudes a very ancient atmosphere. I don’t know how many years it has stood here, and how many times it has witnessed the passing of spring and the coming of autumn.

Standing under the tree, the huge difference in size made Fearon and the others instinctively feel awe.

"Master Qi, this is..."

Fearon couldn't hold back and asked directly.

"Almost all the records left by the legendary magician were related to the magic he studied. There were only a few sentences related to his life. The general meaning was...'I once planted a tree. , I planted it with my wife before she passed away, and I hope that after it becomes tall and tall, I can be buried under it with my wife."

After hearing this, Feilun stared blankly at the giant tree in front of him.

"So, this tree is... the one that the magician and his wife planted together back then?"

However, Qi's answer was beyond her expectation.

"No, I don't know."

Facing Philen's blank gaze, Jian shrugged helplessly, "After all, so many years have passed, and it is no longer possible to investigate. There are very few relevant records, and modern people can only guess."

"Although there are indeed two tombstones under the tree, both of them are wordless. There is nothing to prove the identity, and it is impossible to determine whether they are the tombs of the magician and his wife. Maybe someone else thought this place was beautiful and buried here."

460

Chapter 460 I want to try to believe it.

The closer I get to the giant tree, the fresher the air around me seems, making people feel that their body and mind are cleansed.

The snow has long melted, and spring has begun to sprout.

Beside the giant tree, Jian and others saw two wordless stone tablets, and several flowers bloomed brightly next to the stone tablets.

These flowers are not as beautiful as roses or as pure as flowers, but they make the two stone tablets look less lonely and have more beautiful colors.

Philen squatted down beside the stone tablet, raised his hand to touch the stone tablet, and his fingers slid over the traces eroded by time.

Hugh Tark murmured: "It's really a wordless tablet... There is not a single word."

"It's not just a wordless tablet."

Ash whispered: "Although I just said it was a tombstone, in fact, there is neither a corpse nor burial objects underneath, not even a cenotaph. There is nothing here except these two stone tablets."

"One of the Seven Collapsed Sages, [Miracle] Graosam has been to this village. He is also the only known person who can resist the Great Magic of the Dream Soul Festival, but he can only resist it. He doesn't know much about the principles of the Dream Soul Festival."

"He probably came here for the Great Magic here. ? However, he didn't seem to find the source. It is said that Graosam also came here and dug up the two graves, but found that they were empty, and finally left here with nothing. "

"It is also because even Graosam didn't find anything useful, so the magicians in this world gradually lost interest in the great magic here. As for Fulilian's master... I always feel that she should know something, but Fulilian and I don't dare to ask her. Anyway, even if we ask her, she will definitely not say anything. "

When talking about Celia, the tone of the ash is not good.

However, unlike Fulilian, the emotion Fulilian has when talking about Celia is a bit like the awe that a poor student would have for an extremely strict teacher, and there is also a little estrangement in it... Maybe it's because Fulilian feels that she and Celia "have different paths and can't work together".

As for the words of the ash... it's because she has some secrets hidden, but she has no confidence that she can be seen through in front of Celia.

When he took the exam in the magic city before, Philen had this feeling inexplicably...Zhan seemed to be subconsciously avoiding Celia and was unwilling to meet Celia, but that feeling only appeared for a moment and was quickly ignored by Philen.

Looking at the two stone tablets, Philen suddenly had a doubt in his heart.

"Then... after the magician died, would he meet his wife in the Soul Resting Land?"

"Who knows?"

Zhan shrugged, "Maybe when he arrived at the Soul Resting Land, his wife had already reincarnated... Ouch!"

Zhan's knee hurt, just because Fulilian, who had been silent beside her, suddenly kicked her.

"Your words will make Philen sad and cry, right?"

"Flilian, you can now understand other people's expressions, and I suddenly feel a little relieved."

Turning her eyes away from Jian, Fulilian looked at Philen and spoke in a firm tone.

"Don't worry, the magician will definitely be able to see his wife in the Soul Resting Place."

There is no reason, no basis, but Fulilian wants to believe so.

Just because...

"If you don't think so, then many people who are still alive in this world will not be able to face death peacefully, right? That would be very difficult, right?"

Looking at Fulilian's peaceful smile, Philen suddenly felt a little dazed.

...

"Philen, do you believe in the existence of the goddess?"

At that time, the elderly Haita sat on the steps and asked Philen so.

To be honest, Philen did not believe in the existence of the goddess...If the goddess really exists, why would her village be destroyed by the demons? Why were her parents killed by the demons? Why did they leave her alone?

However, she knew that Haita, who adopted her, was a monk and a believer of the goddess, so she did not say her true thoughts, but said it euphemistically.

"So far, no one or anything has ever been able to prove the existence of the goddess, Lord Haita."

"That's true..."

Haita kept smiling, the wrinkles on his face were squeezed out, and his eyes were shining with an incomprehensible brilliance.

"But, I want to try to believe in the existence of the goddess... Philen."

"Because I believe that the goddess is real, and I believe that after I die, the goddess will touch my head and praise me for the good things I have done in my life. That's why I embarked on the journey of saving the world with Xinmeier and others, and did so many good things while I was alive."

"Philen... Humans will make themselves believe in something in life, even if it is false, imaginary, or unrealistic. People believe in it... because it can make our lives better and allow us to make the right choice without confusion. If we don't believe it, we can't move on."

"I hope the goddess exists, and I hope that people who do good deeds will not sink into nothingness after death, but will be led to heaven by the goddess... If I don't try to believe this, I'm worried that I won't be able to welcome my death peacefully, and I'm worried that I will be so scared that I will do something excessive when facing death."

"That's right... If the goddess doesn't exist, I'll have a headache."

...

Coming back to his senses from the trance, Philen looked up at Fulilian again, with an imperceptible smile on his lips.

"Yes, that magician will definitely be able to see his beloved wife after death."

There is no special reason or solid basis. The reason why Philen believes so is just because...

"If not, I will have a headache."

...

30 years after the death of the brave Xin Meier.

After interacting with the soldiers at the checkpoint, Fulilian returned to the team.

"They said that if you want to pass the checkpoint, you need to go through the inspection, and it will take at least three days."

Flilian informed the others of the results of the interaction.

"In other words, do we need to stay in this city for three days?"

Ash touched his chin and said calmly: "It's not long."

Philen began to complain about Fulilian expressionlessly: "After all, Lord Fulilian once stayed in a village for half a year to find a flower. In comparison, three days is nothing."

"Sorry, I'm already reflecting on it..."

Flilian once again showed the same expression as the TV man on Bilibili.

It seems that the incident made Philen very angry with Fulilian. Even after so long, Philen still talks about it from time to time.

Shutark couldn't empathize with Philen because he joined the travel team much later than Philen. When he joined, Fulilian had already changed her bad habits because of Philen.

It can only be said that Shutark is lucky, and Fulilian suffered all the hardships.

Seeing the interaction between the few people, Ash couldn't help but chuckle.

When looking at Fulilian, Philen and Shutark, Ash occasionally felt dazed and saw Habertlot, Mashu and the Black Knight.

Ash knew that she was influenced by the master of the spirit base and saw the memories of the master of the spirit base.
