Chapter 61: The Death of the Sage
After hearing the boy Spirit-introduction and the name of this space, the girl understood what had happened, although it was not revealed on the surface. Obviously, after the curse in Suowong body went out of control due to the spirit crystal, this guy lost his body in reality, and his consciousness was attached to the spirit crystal, in a state of half-life and
half-death.
When she released her spiritual power and wanted to pull out the spiritual crystal in the source of distortion, Suowong, who was living in the spiritual crystal, also felt what was happening in the
outside world, and activated the spiritual crystal to pull her into his own consciousness space.
"Can you tell me about the outside world?" Suowong asked, "Since I lost my real body, I have no idea what's going on outside."
"But isn't your consciousness still in the spirit crystal?"
"Just because I'm living in the spirit crystal doesn't mean I control it." Suowong said helplessly, "You can also understand that I'm trapped in the spirit crystal."
"Okay, I'll make it short then."
Yatogami Tohka cleared her throat and said briefly, "The curse in your body merged with the spiritual power of the spirit crystal, becoming the source of distortion that can destroy the entire floating continent archipelago. It is now temporarily suppressed by Lord Black Candle, and I received his request to take out the spirit crystal from the source of distortion, so that it will automatically dissipate."
"Is that really the case?"
After listening to Yatogami Tohka retelling, Suowong showed no surprise on his face, and said in agreement: "This is the most appropriate way to deal with it.
Fortunately, you are here, otherwise the guy Lord Ebon Candle may not be able to suppress it for too long."
"Yes, he said he would suppress it for two months at most."
Yatogami Tohka nodded, then asked: "By the way, your body in the real world has disappeared. What are you going to do after I take out the spirit crystal?"
"Well, my consciousness will probably disappear as well."
Suowong answered calmly, slowly twisting his neck and looking at the huge library: "My curse has affected the spirit crystal, so my consciousness can reside on it. If the spirit crystal is taken out, this space of my consciousness will lose its foothold, and I will naturally disappear."
"this..."
Yatogami Tohka opened her mouth and asked hesitantly, "Can you accept it?" The humans in this world are really hard to like, especially those heroes who knew the truth of the world but still chose to betray. Coupled with the matter of the golden fairy, she had no good impression of Suowong at all.
She was willing to hand over the spirit crystal to him purely for the purpose of cooperating with him and finding a way to complete the task. However, facing this person who calmly said that he was ready to die, her heart told her that she couldn't just leave him alone. Looking at the kind girl in front of him, Suowong smiled.
"I should have died five hundred years ago. To be honest, I am tired of living this long."
Suowong took a deep breath, looked out the window of the library, and slowly exhaled. This was his consciousness space.
There is nothing outside the library.
But he seemed to be able to see something, and the boy's clear blue eyes were covered with a trace of vicissitudes. "Child, do you have any ideals?"
After a long silence, Suowong suddenly asked, "I know this may be a difficult question for you who has lost your memory, but I still want to know your answer."
"Ideal? What is that?" Yatogami Tohka showed a puzzled expression. "It's something you want to do, something you must do no matter what, something you have to complete no matter how much you sacrifice for it." "Hmm..."
Yatogami Tohka pondered for a long time.
Under Suowong gaze, she seemed to have thought of something and spoke tentatively: "I want to... protect Nephren and the others, I want Nephren to travel around the world to improve her cooking skills, I want Chtholly to live with William as a lover, I want Ithea to be carefree forever, I want Nygglatho stop worrying about us, I want Noph to learn what she wants to learn, I want Nephren to be free to go wherever she wants to go...I don't have any great ideals, I don't want to change the world, I want to save everyone. I just want to protect the people I like.
I want them to live happily.
Is this kind of thing... ideal?"
As if she knew that what she wanted to do was too insignificant compared to Suowong ideal of taking back the ground, Yatogami Tohka lowered her head in embarrassment.
After waiting for a long time without any response from Suowong, she carefully raised her head again and looked at his expression. However, what she saw was not contempt or ridicule, but a face full of smiles.
"What are you talking about?" Suowong said with a smile, "Protecting the people you want to protect is simply the best ideal." "Is... is that so?" "Of course."
Suowong said it as a matter of course, as if he was stating some established truth. Although he was approving of someone else's ideals, Suowong expression was as if his own ideals were approved. Shaking his head, he calmed down a little.
He raised his hand and gently hooked his fingers. A thick book flew into his hand from nowhere. "Got it."
Throwing the book to Yatogami Tohka , Suowong said, "This is the method to purify the soul fragments of the Star God. Just follow this method and you will definitely succeed."
The moment Yatogami Tohka received the book, it turned into a white light and merged into her forehead. In an instant, countless knowledge emerged in her mind.
"So fast? Lord Ebon Candle said he would need several months to do it." Yatogami Tohka said in surprise. "Well, I didn't spend all my time in the consciousness space thinking about the past. I also did a lot of experiments using the spirit crystals." Suowonggave a thumbs up and grinned, "And don't forget, I'm a genius." Then, as if he remembered something, he patted his head.
As if nothing had happened, he reached his hand directly into his body, and after searching for a while, he took out a pitch-black spiritual crystal. "It's time to return this thing to its original owner."
Suowong gave a gentle push and pushed the spirit crystal in front of her.
Looking at the spiritual crystal in front of him, Yatogami Tohka said hesitantly: "If I take it away, won't you disappear?" "I don't have many years to live anyway. As long as you can help me take back the ground and fulfill my long-cherished wish, I can rest in peace after I die." "But..."
"My greatest ideal has failed, but your ideal may still be realized, right?" Suowong said with a smile, "For those who are still alive, go, kid, it's time to realize your ideal."
With Suowong encouragement, the hesitation on Yatogami Tohka face was gradually replaced by determination. She stretched out her hand and grasped the spiritual crystal in front of her.
"Buzz——!"
This time, the spirit crystal did not resist.
At this point, its owner became Yatogami Tohka .
It was precisely because of this that the next moment, this piece of consciousness space began to collapse bit by bit. "Goodbye, Suowong."
Before disconnecting from this space of consciousness, Yatogami Tohka said solemnly: "I will take back the ground. Don't worry, I will accomplish your final ideal for you."
"In that case, please help me give William a message."
"What?"
"Let's just say...his old friends sincerely wish him to be able to live without regrets in this world five hundred years from now."
"Okay, I'll bring it there."
"Well, please."
Suowong smiled brightly and waved to the disappearing Yatogami Tohka . Soon, her figure completely disappeared from the spot.
This space of consciousness will also come to an end.
"Haha, dying in a familiar scene doesn't seem so bad."
Standing in the forbidden library of the Sage Tower, which he remembered most deeply when he was still a human, he calmly put his hands behind his back, waiting for his consciousness to disappear. At the end of his life, the young Suowong left behind his last wish.
"I also sincerely wish that you can fly in the sky forever, without being covered in mud like me."
PS: Ah Even if this is just a fanfic story, it still makes me feel sad.
Chapter 62 The Last Legacy
As the spirit crystal was extracted, the source of distortion that merged with it fell silent. . Suowong consciousness space would soon fall apart and completely disappear from this world. Yatogami Tohka felt a little sad.
With the passing of this wise man, an era came to an end, and he once again died for his ideals. Although it was a pity that he didn't see the day when the ground was recaptured, it was a satisfactory ending for him. The consciousness space collapsed, and Yatogami Tohka consciousness finally returned to her body. She slowly opened her eyes.
Just as she was about to sigh and let out her inner frustration, her breathing suddenly stagnated.
"!"
A dark skull floated in front of her face, staring at her. The frightened Yatogami Tohka didn't have time to think before the skull hit her in the face. She instinctively punched without thinking. "Hey hey hey!"
Lord Ebon Candle reaction was very quick. He suddenly floated up and dodged the attack: "Why are you so violent, girl! You want to attack me every time you see me!"
"I told you not to scare me!"
Gradually regaining consciousness, Yatogami Tohka realized that the skull in front of her was the real body of Ebon Candle
Lord. As expected, she was still not used to the sudden contact with this skull.
By the way, can this guy actually move on his own?
When she saw him being pushed around in a wheelchair by an orc maid, she thought he had no mobility. Apparently, he was just lazy.
She shook her head and supported hersSpirit on the ground. When she was about to get up from the ground, she felt something pressing on her palm. She picked it up and saw that it was a pitch-black spiritual crystal.
"It looks like the mission has been successfully completed."
Seeing the spirit crystal as well, Lord Ebon Candle said in a cheerful tone, "Sure enough, my idea was right. You can definitely do this task." "In this way, the Floating Continent Island will be safe, right?"
"Of course." Ebon Candle used his magic to lift a cube that contained the curse in Suowong body. "This is Suowong original curse. I have sealed it.
It won't be long before the remaining curse on the second floating Island is reduced to a level that is harmless to ordinary orcs." "This is not something I can handle. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me." "However, guiding the spirit crystal out should be a simple task. What happened just now? You actually fainted?" "Suowong pulled me into the consciousness space."
Hearing Yatogami Tohka answer, Lord Ebon Candle was stunned.
But soon, even without further explanation, he figured out what happened. After a moment of silence, he said with a sense of loss: "I didn't expect that guy's consciousness was attached to the spirit crystal. I thought he died when the curse went out of control."
"Not only did he not die, he also figured out a method to refine the soul fragments of the Star God." Yatogami Tohka pointed to his head, "In the consciousness space, he gave me this part of the knowledge."
"What else?" Lord Ebon Candle asked, "Besides this, did he leave me any last words?" "Yes, there is a last word, but it was for William." "Nothing...left for me?"
"No."
"Damn it! That old guy!" Lord Ebon Candle was furious. "We've been working together for five hundred years, but before he died, he thought of William instead of me. Believe it or not, I'll throw his ashes into the toilet!"
The ashes obviously refer to the original curse sealed by Lord Black Candle.
The relationship between the two of them is very complicated. They were once enemies and are now collaborators. Although they would quarrel from time to time because of their positions, they have been getting along with each other for five hundred years with ups and downs. Their relationship cannot be said to be good, but it cannot be said to be bad either.
Lord Ebon Candle actually felt a bit of sympathy towards this guy.
I thought Suowong would leave him something before he died, but I didn't expect that the bastard didn't mention me at all. "Forget it, if there's nothing, then forget it. I don't care!" Ebon Candle said with a curse, "Girl, copy the refining method that guy left for me. I still have to finish the job he threw at me."
"oh oh."
Finding a pen and paper in the room, Yatogami Tohka wrote down the memories in her mind. Thanks to the ability to directly transfer memories in the consciousness space, she would not be able to remember so many things in a short time.
It took more than an hour to write ten pages before Yatogami Tohka put down the pen and handed over Suowong last legacy to Ebon Candle. Sheets of paper filled with words floated in front of Ebon Candle, and he began to study them carefully.
"Hmm...it seems like he is not doing nothing in his consciousness space. This method seems feasible at least in theory."
He pondered and said, "Without further delay, now that the problem here has been solved, let me try to refine the soul fragments." "Please." A look of joy appeared on Yatogami Tohka face.
It seems that the golden fairy is not far from being truly liberated.
Although none of them could guarantee whether the soul crystal could be used in battle after it was created, this question would soon be answered. Next, they only had to wait for Lord Ebon Candle to complete the last step.
"It's just my job. Now that I've made it this far, I also want to see what the soul crystal will look like after completion." After saying that, Lord Ebon Candle prepared to leave the room.
Before leaving, he thought of something and turned around to ask, "By the way, the situation was critical just now, and I haven't asked you why you came here. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
"My friend Nephren suffered from symptoms of past life erosion during the battle, so I came here to get the spirit crystal."
"Can the spirit crystal cure past life erosion?"
"That's right."
"How do you know?" "Well..."
Yatogami Tohka was silent for a moment. She can't say it's because she played Tokisaki Kurumi, right?
So, she could only say vaguely: "I feel OK." "Feelings?"
Ebon Candle had no doubts either.
After all, he was not as good as Yatogami Tohka in terms of knowledge and application of soul crystals, a creature that used soul crystals as the source of life. Moreover, he was not a person who liked to ask questions, so even if the answer was a little ambiguous, he accepted it. "Then you can take it away. That thing is no longer useful to me. I will continue my experiments in the place where Elq's soul fragments are stored." Lord Ebon Candle did not go through the main door, but flew outside through the window, and it was unknown where he was going.
"I'll send someone to tell you when I succeed. Wait for my good news!"
