"Ah, I think the factor that triggered my death may be the thought of 'I want to live', right?"
""
Fisher and Emhardt on his shoulders were stunned at the same time, but Holland seemed particularly calm when he said these words. He just turned his head and looked at the magma in the distance, letting the scorching heat generated by the magma
The light hit his face, giving his pale cheeks that were originally like a living corpse some warm color.
“This is really true”
Emhard couldn't help but complain, and Holland also accepted his words,
"Good fortune plays tricks on people?"
"It makes a little sense, but how is it possible?"
"Who knows?"
Holland flexed his fingers, but he had already figured out something in his mind, and he gradually opened his heart to Fisher.
"Where I live, there are wars and famines every day. I chose to leave my hometown just to have a bite to eat and finally joined the order that believed in the Crow. I just had to put my head in my belt and fight with
Those madmen are keeping company, in fact, in order to survive, the members of the cult will randomly rank the members who are preparing for the ceremony to determine the order. I am relatively lucky and unlucky. I drew the last number.
"So after that, while watching the people in front of me die tragically in the experiment, I counted down the days until it was my turn to perform the ceremony with my fingers. Until now, I have forgotten what it was like.
Feelings, I just felt that the countdown time should mean something to me, it should be the desire to survive. So as time came, I finally could not overcome the fear of death and ran away from the cult in advance, but was killed during the escape.
They caught it"
Fisher finally realized where Holland's stolen death came from. When he chose to escape from the cult and was caught because of his desire to survive, his death had already arrived, and Ah
It was then that Gareth took his death away,
"So, now, in your heart, you actually want to live, right, Holland?"
"Um."
Holland thought for a long time before confirming his idea as if he was relieved, but Fisher didn't know whether to congratulate him or not.
According to the concept of normal people, being able to survive is certainly a joyful thing, but Holland's expression at this moment was very complicated, making Fisher somewhat unpredictable.
Sure enough, at the next moment, Huo Lan, who was looking at the magma, spoke again,
"But I decided to die anyway, Fisher."
"Hey, isn't it? Brother, didn't you just say that you want to live? Why did you suddenly change just after you said it? Do you have a split personality?"
Emhard opened his mouth, and then began to complain in a somewhat speechless manner. Fisher did not speak, but only cast an inquiring look at him.
Huo Lan also laughed humorously, shook his head and explained,
"Agares stole my triggers and left me forever in the cult, waiting for death. I feel like I'm still in that cage, putting myself in just to have enough food for a few days.
I was on the death list, waiting for someone to read my name and take me out. The death taken away by Agares only increased the number of people queuing in front of me to an infinite number, and made my heart become calm.
But, Fisher, I am destined to be unable to escape from this prison.
"What I think in my heart and the actual result are inevitable contradictions for me. When I want to live, the death I lost will come back, and when I want to die, everything will be the same as before.
Stillness, of course, also includes death; it is like a choice, either anxiously waiting for the death with an infinite number in front of you, or fearing for survival and drawing the next death number in advance."
He was silent for a moment, reached into his arms, took out a simple book with the words "Death Completion Manual" engraved on the cover, and placed it in front of Fisher, another person who could see it.
,
"Fischer, if it were you, how would you choose?"
"I will also choose to die."
Fisher was silent for a moment, then looked into Holland's eyes and said,
"The latter may be a mistake, but in the former, you have truly experienced its pain and want to get rid of it. If you will regret whatever you choose, it is better to choose the option that is worthy of your past self, which is [death]."
Huo Lan smiled, lowered his head, and murmured,
"Well, it does make sense. I am worthy of being a scholar of Nali, but maybe this way I will be [normal]."
"Why?"
"Well, because the coming of death is sometimes contradictory to your thoughts. When you want to die, your life will subconsciously resist, giving you extreme fear and making you give up the idea; and when you want to
When you want to live, no matter how much you struggle with your life, it will be like a flickering candle that will be extinguished as soon as you blow it. If this is the case, then let me die paradoxically."
At this moment, even Emhardt, the usually talkative guy, stopped talking, and Fisher also remained silent. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, when Holland raised his finger and pointed in the direction above,
His expression also became more serious,
"Moreover, the situation above is very serious now. The crack has begun to burst. Although there is a process of burning, and the crack is still Darathagon's domain, he may be able to delay the time to a certain extent. But the collapse of the crack is certain. This
Maybe it's just the beginning, especially since the old immortal also said that as long as these manuals still exist, the destruction will not stop.
"There are six manuals in total, corresponding to six types of chaos with different nature and origin. Currently, the whereabouts of the four manuals are clear. The destiny is completed at the old immortal, death is with me, life and soul are with you, and the cardinal and the former president
The magic manuals are missing, but according to Lao Immortal’s research over the past thousands of years, their whereabouts are likely to be related to the spirit world.”
Six supplementary manuals, six sources of chaos of different natures
Fisher suddenly thought of the reminder that the Asian nymphomaniac left for him through Sidi. She said, "There are one or six types of existence that attempt to destroy the world." If the six types are the source of these six types of completion manuals, then that "
What is "a" type of "or"?
"There's another thing. The previous method of worshiping the Demon God to release the two Demon Gods was not the base."
"Well, I know this"
Fisher knew about this when Emhardt said it was an emergency, but he was still thinking about whether to ask Heller about it or not to disclose it to Heller.
Go and investigate clearly, because even if he asks Heller, he can't be sure whether the answer he gets is true or false.
She said she was quitting because the plan had failed, but Fisher wasn't sure if she meant it.
Fisher has decided to collect all the completion manuals and solve the prophecy of annihilation according to his own attempts. He already knows that the prophecy of annihilation is related to the women he knows, because they are the people who appear in the prophecy.
If Heller is still considering letting himself give up the prophecy of annihilation to save himself, will he let it go?
Instead of getting an answer that he didn't know was true or false, it would be better to wait for him to find clues on his own.
"Well, I know that your relationship with the Demon God of Worship is unusual, but I won't judge your private life at this time. But if you don't want to exchange ideas with her, there is a possibility that I can let her out.
Clues about Gareth and Barbatos' methods."
When Emhardt heard Holland mention Fisher's private life, he suddenly became energetic and opened his mouth as if he wanted to share his experience and self-thoughts with his colleagues, but Fisher had already predicted his move and started to speak.
Gently reach out and grab him who wants to speak, and catch him,
"What clue?"
Holland thought for a moment and then asked,
"Well, Fisher, have you ever heard of an elf named 'Tsuki'?"
Fisher's pupils shrank slightly and his brows wrinkled subconsciously.
"The youngest son of the three elf sons."
"I don't know her, but when Jasmine used the power of the pedestal to expand into the dynasty, I could also feel the situation in the dynasty. Jasmine said she didn't feel the effect of the pedestal, so I
After investigating the original seal situation of Barbatos and Agares, I found two woods with strange contents, Tsukimu, which should be related to the body of a certain elf. That kind of wood seems to be related to the mother goddess.
The force produced some kind of reaction, so they were allowed to escape."
""
Can Tsuki's power break the seal of the Mother Goddess?
When Holland said this, Fisher suddenly remembered something.
The appearance of Tsuki and Renee are exactly the same, and Tsuki's whereabouts are still unknown. Infinite power and death have created new consciousness, so will the Mother Goddess and Tsuki have some kind of connection?
And coincidentally, Heller met Tsuki, and she even had a mirror that Tsuki gave her, and told her that she was the key to solving the prophecy of annihilation.
Fisher seemed to understand the logic, but he was not sure why Tsuki's power could distort the seal of the Mother Goddess, and what kind of relationship Tsuki had with the Mother Goddess.
"I know, thank you, Holland, this is a very key clue." Fisher nodded, took a deep breath, and then asked Holland, "If you have decided what to do, then
Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Holland thought for a moment, stood up and looked upward, turned to Fisher and said,
"I do need you to do me one last favor. You should also want to see Priest Jasmine and Queen Rafael outside the dynasty. Let's go. Let's go above ground first and then I'll tell you the details."
Fisher also stood up and agreed, because he was indeed worried about Rafael and Jasmine above and wanted to confirm their status.
"Eliog?"
He turned around and wanted to inform Eliog behind him, but she didn't move after calling her twice. When Fisher jumped up and took a look, he found that she had fallen asleep with her mouth spread out.
Breathing in and out, he seemed to be sleeping soundly.
""
"Hoo ho ho!!"
In the sky of the Southern Continent, a huge hole is spreading. The feeling of a certain space being burned is something that other ordinary creatures cannot feel. In the eyes of the humans and demi-humans in the Nanzhi Mountains, they don’t even know what is happening.
Not aware of it.
The tiny individuals completely lost their ability to feel and measure in the face of the terrifying power, and could only let their survival instinct drag them to dodge. Only after everything settled and they happened to survive, could they use their limited senses to
Feel the traces left around you
At this moment, the pouring rain finally stopped. After a day and a night, the sky over Nanda Road cleared up again, and the unusually shaped Nanzhi Mountains were illuminated brightly throughout the night.
The creatures couldn't see through the burning gap above, so they could only identify it by the scarlet mist spreading in the gap, thinking that it was just a red cloud that would never dissipate and was spreading in the sky.
The human army has all collapsed. It is estimated that they will have to escape dozens or hundreds of miles to the north before they can report back one after another on the situation here. Natural disasters have occurred, the commander has disappeared, and the army has collapsed. The keywords are the same; Longting's side is also very different.
, because Eliog and Barbatos fought all the way from here to the rear at the end of the southern continent, they were not in formation, not to mention that they could not find the two leaders Rafael and Jasmine, who were still rescuing them at the moment.
The wounded were lost, and some troops were still searching for the Queen on the battlefield below.
Fisher, Holland's Emhard quickly passed through a portal out of thin air and came to the ground.
After Eliog fell asleep, Fisher had no choice but to take Holland back to find Heller. He needed a portal to leave the dynasty.
Heller also generously gave the rune of the portal outside his palace to Fisher. With this rune, Fisher can open the portal to her palace from anywhere in the southern continent.
As soon as he came out, Fisher's attention was attracted by the extremely oppressive crack on his head. As Holland said, the crack was collapsing, but it would still take some time.
Judging from the situation, I guess I can still hold on for a month or two?
Fisher looked a little serious as he looked at the cracks and cracks that had spread to hundreds of miles after a day and a night.
"Fisher!!"
It was at this moment that a figure looking over here appeared from a not far away place, and then the voice of Jasmine's shout soon came, causing Fisher to look over there quickly.
He stepped on the ground and quickly went to Jasmine's side. He saw that her face was covered with sand and dust caused by the storm that Barbatos had stirred up earlier. Even the blue hair on her head was stained by some dust, but it still couldn't be covered.
In spite of her excitement and joy when she saw Fisher, she threw herself into his arms as soon as she landed.
"Jasmine"
"Great, Fisher, I'm glad you're okay!"
Jasmine buried her head in his arms, then suddenly thought of something, pointed to the sand dunes not far away and said,
"Raphael is over there. Because he was affected by the Demon Dynasty, the progress was very slow. He hasn't woken up yet, but he should be fine soon. Rafael will be able to reach the Mythical Palace soon.
It’s the level of life.”
Jasmine said this happily at first, but soon her expression showed some subtle loneliness.
Because she has not yet reached the Myth level and is still wandering in front of the Myth level. Although she is indeed happy for Rafael, she is still a little disappointed compared to herself who is still stagnant.
Fisher noticed her thoughts, hugged her tightly into his arms, and whispered,
"It's okay, Jasmine. If it weren't for you, I might have died down there, thank you."
"Hey," Jasmine felt a little better after hearing Fisher's compliment. She nodded and said, "Although it doesn't seem to be of much help, it's worth being the first person to thank Teacher Fisher."
La."
""
Hmm, but it seems like he thanked Eliog before?
Forgot, it doesn't matter, that's probably what Jasmine said.
"Sir Shu! Mr. Holland! You are okay too. I have forgotten Mr. Holland's situation."
Huo Lan smiled and nodded to Jasmine. Then he looked up at the sky, looking at the illusory scarlet fog, the sunlight falling from it and the clouds passing through it. He took a final deep breath.
, turned to Jasmine and Fisher and said,
"That's it, it's time to say goodbye. Goodbye, Jasmine Priest."
"Hey? What do you mean?"
Jasmine pursed her lips, not understanding what Holland meant, but Emhardt flew to her shoulder and shook his head at her.
"Are you in such a hurry?"
"Ah, I'm not sure, but I think now is the most appropriate time. After all, I've been waiting for so long, right?"
"Same." Fisher smiled bitterly, then left Jasmine and walked towards him, asking, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Well, come here with me. Then, I need a knife, and then you use that knife to behead me, just like an execution."
Finally, Holland added another sentence,
"The ritual I drew at that time was the beheading ritual. Those crazy people thought that the head was in a different place and the consciousness separated from the body would bring them closer to the Crow."
"I understand, then give me some time and I'll prepare the knife."
"It's okay, I also need to make some preparations."
Holland smiled palely, then walked a certain distance away from Fisher, took off his coat, and then his shirt, until his extremely thin, malnourished and hunchbacked upper body was completely exposed.
Fisher was silent for a moment and sat on the mound beside him. At the same time, he took out Aoyun's essential oil and the hilt of the Fluid Sword.
The essential oil had no color at all and was placed in a glass bottle just like a bottle of water. Fisher shook the liquid in it suspiciously, wondering if the Asian girl had filled it wrongly.
"Haha Fisher, have you ever done anything like this before?"
"No execution, but I have killed others."
"This is also the era in which every Nali person has blood on his body to a greater or lesser extent."
After taking off his upper body clothes, he began to tear up his shirt with great force, tearing it into strips of cloth with great force. This was a bit unbearable for his malnourished body, so he began to pant violently.
.
Fisher smiled and opened the cap of the essential oil in his hand. Instantly, a pungent smell of quenching came to the tip of his nose, causing him to move his head away.
He glanced at Huo Lan who didn't know what he was doing, happened to see his calm face, and asked,
"Your expression doesn't look like you don't want to die at all."
"Well, a little bit. After all, it's me who wanted to die so much in the past. Probably my death will not come in this case. Previously, I fell out of the ten doors and fell into the lava. When I was in mid-air,
, I was wondering if I would fall to death like this. I felt fear and felt that I didn’t want to die, and then I became aware of the existence of death. But when I fell, I was thinking, ‘This is not what I am pursuing.
Something?', I wanted to die like this, but I didn't expect that I still didn't die after falling into the magma."
"Then if you still let me chop you, I won't have to chop you hundreds of times in a row until you find the time when you don't want to die, right?"
"It's possible."
""
Horan gasped and pulled off a long strip of cloth, joked with Fisher, then looked back at Fisher with the strip and said,
"It's time to start."
Immediately afterwards, he knelt on the ground and wrapped the cloth around his eyes, wrapping it around and around, tightly.
Fisher also lowered his head and dropped the essential oil on his fluid sword drop by drop.
Originally, Fisher thought that since there was such a big bottle of essential oil, he only had one or two drops to repair the fluid sword, and the rest could be saved for later use. However, one or two drops were useless, just like Na Li had a male.
A dysfunctional middle-aged gentleman is as useless as drinking a small drop of draconian blood.
Simply, he poured all the essential oil on the hilt of the fluid sword.
Miraculously, all the essential oils that landed on the fluid sword were absorbed by it. Not a single drop fell to the ground or Fisher's hands, but all entered it.
And then, with the help of the "aphrodisiac", the fluid sword that had languished for a long time finally grew little by little under Fisher's expectant eyes. The mercury-like blade finally unfolded again, revealing
It's sharp.
Looking at the "torture instruments" prepared in his hands, Fisher slowly walked towards Holland, who was kneeling on the ground with his back to him and his upper body naked.
He lowered his head and clasped his hands behind his back. His spine, which was already deformed due to his hunchback, was even more obvious at this moment because of his weight loss.
"When do I want to chop, do I need to prepare you?"
"No need, but it's best to wait a while. After a while, you don't need to tell me the time, you can just do it,"
"good"
Fisher took a deep breath, raised the blade, and pointed it at Holland's neck. Jasmine, who was watching all this not far away, also held her breath and covered her mouth.
"Come on, Mr. Holland Dionysius."
""
Huo Lan didn't reply, just lowered his head.
The wind in the southern continent has always been noisy, not to mention the storm is about to come, but there is silence in Huo Lan's ears, and there is even a noise like tinnitus.
His mind kept spinning the good things of the past, trying to use this method to arouse his hope for life and fear of death, so that he could die naturally.
But unfortunately, he couldn't think of anything, not even his beloved childhood sweetheart Leica could arouse his hopes.
She is already dead, but he is not yet, so he should die.
No, why should I want to die? If that's the case
Behind him, Fisher's movements remained motionless. Time became extremely long at this moment, as if every second extended the scale, which made him extremely tormented. He was suffering from the contradiction of forcing himself to think about not wanting to die but always thinking about wanting to die.
middle.
"Buzz buzz"
But behind him, Fisher's blade never fell, which made Holland more and more confused as to why he hadn't cut yet, because at this moment Holland himself couldn't confirm it. What he really thought in his heart was that he only hoped for Fisher.
You quickly dropped the blade and freed yourself.
"Buzz buzz"
But in the darkness of tinnitus and blindfolding, Huo Lan was suddenly tapped lightly on the shoulder by someone.
The next second, a strange, calm, somewhat mute man's voice suddenly sounded softly in his ears. The unknown man said to Holland softly in Kadu,
"Next, it's your turn."
""
After Holland knelt down, Fisher, who used life chaos to change his voice, slowly took a step back, and then he gently raised the fluid sword in his hand and pointed it at his neck.
He didn't know what Huo Lan was thinking, but before the fluid sword in his hand fell, Huo Lan's head suddenly broke off from his neck.
"Pfft!"
Amidst the splatter of countless blood, Huo Lan's headless body suddenly lost its support and fell to the ground, walking towards the embrace of death. ()
