It took a long time before Philip gradually recovered.

But even so, he seemed several years older. The moment the gray look appeared, the carefree Lotte smile disappeared on his face.

"You... look familiar."

Philip no longer denies his identity.

He agreed to Victor's words, raised his head and asked, "So, who are you?

"Can you know me, know my true surname; you even know Master Chiron, know what sins Master Chiron has committed, know the information about great spells, know the secret of the sinking of the imperial capital... Who are you?"

Before Victor could answer, Philip replied to himself: "You should have met me. But I don't remember you at all, so you are probably not an elf of my age.

"You have gray eyes, but pure blood elves should all have green eyes... If I remember correctly, as long as the elves' pupils become metalized, it will prove that they violate the taboo many times."

Philip narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his body slightly raised back: "You have sucked the spell energy for a long time. This will make the elves' clear and pure condensed soul like metal.

"And you have committed a great sin and can survive until now... It means that you have made great contributions and can even make up for your sin of sucking the blood of the world. In addition, you followed His Majesty Annan from the Duchy of Winter as the hand of winter..."

His voice was getting lower and lower.

Prince Philip frowned and thought.

Victor did not interrupt his thoughts, but just stood behind Annan with a smile in a housekeeper's uniform. His hands were behind him, with an elegant and upright figure.

“…Who are you?”

After a long time, Prince Philip frowned and asked, "The memory is too long... I can't remember it anymore."

His memory loss was too severe.

Every time he uses the Fourth Historical Theory, he will lose one-quarter of his memories. Of course, these memories are not his first life memories, but all the memories he held when using the Fourth Historical Theory.

And this quarter of memory is not cut off by a quarter of the entire segment. But like a data loss, it will destroy some of the details of all memory.

He has been reincarnated so many times, and the memories of that earliest life have become fragmented.

It was already difficult for him to recognize Chiron and know his name...

It's like Alzheimer's disease.

Annan thought.

Victor was not surprised when faced with Philip's performance.

He just shook his head gently and tempted, "I am Victor Victor, Frost Yu... Do you still remember?"

"you……"

Philip frowned.

Victor continued: "I live in an era when 'Winter' was not yet born. I am the pioneer of the profession of [Frost Worder] and the first Frost Word scholar in the world.

"I simplified the Dragon Word, which is complex and extraordinary and cannot be chanted or understood by mortals, removed some of the male words that were too intense, modified some of the voices that were unable to be spoken by the elves, and modified the grammar... I invented the Frost Word that even the elves could speak and the dragon could understand.

"I am the first elf who has no dragon blood at all and can be given the name of "Frost Word" by my grandmother. Because my word "Frost Word" is not the surname of the family, nor is it the race of "Frost Word Dragon", but the title that belongs to me... Just like you were once given the name of "Orpeech" by the emperor.

"My wife was once a giant dragon. She is the biological sister of the contemporary Grand Duke Shuangyu, and is also the promoter of the dragon clan. She is not only my lover, but also my teacher, and she is also a partner who helped me create the language "Frost Word"..."

Speaking of this, Victor suddenly paused.

Then he spoke again: "Of course, for mortals... my other identity is more worthy of their memory.

"I am the fourth generation tower owner of the Tower of Storm...that is, the "Storm eldest daughter", the biological father of Artast Shuangyu, the guardian of the fourth to tenth generations of Storm daughters, and the initiator and advocate of the "Cure the Curse Energy" activity.

"I've said so much... Do you still remember me? Or, do you still remember what happened when you were an elf?"

Victor's words kept Philip silent.

The frosty elf sighed and looked at Philip who was still a little confused.

There was some nostalgia and some pity in his eyes: "The surname Flamel is called the 'man of wisdom' in the elves. Your most outstanding descendant, Nicholas Flamel was once the improvement of the Sage Stone.

"The Sage Stone can extend the lifespan of the Golden Level Supernatural Ones and greatly strengthen their power. And I think he will definitely not know how ugly his ancestors have become in order to "live."

Annan raised his eyebrows.

He has realized the key to the problem.

After so many reincarnations, Philip's memory of the first life has long been incomplete. In addition to remembering that he was once cheated by the first king Noah and who he was... he almost completely forgot about his common sense as an elf.

Maybe even Philip himself began to doubt his first memories. Those memories were ragged, and some details could inevitably be forgotten... Then Philip could only repair them through logic and imagination.

From this point of view, what he and Annan said about "Cyron" may not necessarily mean to mislead Annan.

The truth is that he may not remember it himself.

So he subconsciously modified his memory in the direction he wanted.

The memories of his first life that he had remained were not enough to support his personality as "Philip Flammel".

Or...

Every time Philip uses the Fourth Historical Theory for future reincarnation, it is actually equivalent to erasing his old personality once.

This must have been something Philip didn't want to see at the beginning.

But now it is impossible for him to stop.

Once it stops, it is equivalent to denying the existence meaning of the previous "Philipel".

... Perhaps he is planning to stop reincarnation now because he has forgotten his obsession with deciding to reincarnate at the beginning.

"...I won't lie to you. I'm really...I can't remember what you said."

Philip finally spoke.

There was no longer the carefree smile on his face, and his voice became low: "But one thing, you said it wrong.

"I'm not trying to find a blank book of truth from Chiron...I've lived enough. No, to be precise, I don't know the reason for continuing to live.

"I... forgot what is important. I also forgot the people who were once very important to me. But I even forgot what I forgot."

Philip said slowly, "I just feel that I have lived for so long, and my life has lasted for hundreds of years... If it is an ugly end, I will be in vain.

“I still remember a long time ago when someone asked me, ‘If you could live another three years, what would you do?’ I don’t remember who asked this anymore, and I don’t know how I answered it at that time.

"But if I answer this question now... then I just want to enjoy myself. I don't want to think about anything anymore. I want a peaceful and peaceful life, I want the last sleep...

"I'm already very tired."

Philip raised his hand again, put the honey barbecue that had been holding in his hand and was already cold to his mouth, and bitten a piece of it hard and chewed it slowly.

The cooled meat is naturally not as fragrant as it is. Honey and fat are mixed together, and a thin layer of oil is condensed outside, and the taste is obvious.

But he seemed to have no feeling at all, chewing seriously, as if the food in his mouth was a peerless delicacy, looking very delicious, and swallowing it in big mouthfuls.

He said in a blurry voice: "I don't want to think about that kind of thing anymore.

"You really misunderstood me... Lord Victor. I don't want the spell that sinks into the deep sea, nor do I want to become a god. I may have been a golden-level extraordinary person, but I... have no such strong desire anymore."

Isn't there such a strong desire that's all?

Annan could sense that this was indeed the truth.

Or, these are the truth. But not the whole truth.

Looking at Philip eating meat, Annan vaguely captured another meaning.

Every time you are reincarnated, you also need one-quarter of your desire to spend. So, why does Prince Philip look greedy and lustful every day, and eat meat and drink wine everywhere you go, and chew his special demon blood milk candy with no matter what.

I'm afraid the answer is that he has long lost his true desire.

Even enjoyment itself may not be his desire.

He is forcing himself to enjoy himself.

The first life memory left in Philip's mind was like a wound that had been healed.

I can't notice it again, but occasionally I still have a moment of phantom pain... If I take the initiative to caress it, I will clearly notice the scar.

Annan suddenly remembered what Philip said to him when he first met Philip in a nightmare.

Neither Annan was in reality or the second life in a nightmare, nor did Annan affect Philip at that time. In other words, what Philip said to Annan in a nightmare should be basically what he said when he met Annan for a week.

I can see that you have a soul that is unbound to follow.

If you feel depressed one day and want to break free from the chains that bind your destiny... you can come to me.

If you think about it carefully, you will realize that something is wrong.

If a nobleman is not valued, or a civilian from a poor family, he can say this.

But as one of the future heirs of the Noah Kingdom, he was even a prince with a high ranking... He lived a generous life since childhood, so how could he have "chains that bind fate" come from?

Does he regard his mission of becoming king as a chain that binds his destiny?

Of course it won't be like this.

Now Annan finally understands the meaning of this sentence.

As Flammel's blood, it was still affecting Philip. Even though his wisdom had weakened to the level of a mortal, Philip's vision and experience immediately judged the fact that Annan was "not a man of this world."

In other words, he did not judge that Annan was a time traveler.
