In the vast sea, there is a sea area shrouded in fog all year round.
Passing through the dense clouds in mid-air, a huge island will appear on a turquoise sea. There are continuous mountains, large and small lakes, plains, and dense forests on the roughly oval island. The most peculiar thing is that
The huge boulder floating directly above the island, as a stone, even a luminous and weird stone, it is too big...
The boulder exudes warm light and rotates slowly.
This is Dragon Island, a region that even the gods and demons do not understand and have never entered. The ancient dragon tribe was rude and barbaric. This was the original place of exile.
The Dragon Cave, which has always been regarded as a sacred place by the Dragon Clan, is currently immersed in silence.
Cohen couldn't control his emotions and sat on the ground for almost two hours, with only Marshmallow, who turned into a golden dragon, by his side.
Marshmallow narrowed her eyes and said nothing. She had spent a long time with Cohen and knew Cohen's character very well. She knew that any sound she made at this time would be ignored by Cohen.
Finally, Cohen's eyes regained their clarity. He took a few deep breaths, then took a few steps closer to Jin Long and sat down against her neck.
"Come on! Let's talk about it." Cohen bent his legs and put his hands on his knees. He looked very relaxed: "What the hell is going on? Golden Dragon - ah? Is this body shape suitable for you?"
"Jin Long is the elder of the Dragon Clan. It took me a long time to find him. Among all the lives on this continent, he is the only one who can temporarily carry my thoughts." Marshmallow explained: "This time I have exhausted one of my thoughts.
Only with this kind of ability can I come here and meet you in this way - there will be no chance in the future."
"It can only be used once?" Cohen was stunned: "Don't play tricks on me."
"That's true. This is not good news for you or me. I have no need to hide it."
Marshmallow shook his head: "My ability is not enough to last for too long. Do you want to listen to me?"
"Okay!" Cohen sat cross-legged: "You say it!"
"You know what kind of life I am, and you can understand my way of existence. In fact, I have never encountered a life of the same type as me. I am just a lonely existence in the endless and empty universe."
Marshmallow's voice paused: "Before I met you, after a long period of wandering and searching, I finally found another life that can communicate with me."
"Who is it?" Cohen, who was completely relaxed, asked with a smile: "Is this a historic encounter? Is it a brilliant light?"
"That was an ordinary and real encounter. I drifted to the periphery of these planets and felt her presence, so I stayed nearby... You should have experience of loneliness and understand my behavior."
"I can understand, so if you don't resurrect Fichet to me, I won't spare you..."
Marshmallow stared at Cohen with dissatisfaction, and the latter immediately put on a friendly smile.
"She is on this planet, on this continent, with some beings similar to you. This way of communication between you and me is what she taught me." Marshmallow recalled: "We interact with each other.
Dependence, mutual exchange of memories, she is my partner, indispensable to me - just like Fichet is to you."
"Then what?" Cohen asked.
"Then, I lost contact with her." Marshmallow's voice was very calm, but this too calm statement carried all her pain: "I am lonely again, and it has been tens of thousands of years..."
"I can understand it." Sensing the pathos stirring in Marshmallow's calm voice, Cohen nodded and said, "It's hard for people who don't have this experience to understand."
"I can no longer get any news from her... I have tried various methods, but I still can't get any news. I can easily destroy this planet, but I can't enter this planet to search for it. Although I can come here through the Dragon Clan later, I
Energy is limited and cannot be used easily without clues." Marshmallow lowered his head again: "Time means nothing to me...until you broke into my domain at that moment."
"You..." Cohen understood something.
"Yes, I arranged for you to be reborn. I did intend for you to find this life for me. But at that time, you were too weak to complete this mission. Although I am very eager, I cannot tell you this."
"What about now? Can I finish it now?"
"You didn't seem to take anything seriously before, did you? Have you ever taken anything seriously? But it's different now - you and me." Marshmallow's protracted voice expressed a rare sense of schadenfreude.
He said in a tone: "Our destinies are closely linked."
Cohen had an innocent expression on his face and looked at Marshmallow with questioning eyes, but Marshmallow had a very leisurely expression and didn't speak for a long time.
"Hey - you said the time is limited!"
"Now, this matter has developed to a point where we are all embarrassed." Marshmallow explained slowly: "Fundamentally speaking, I can't help you resurrect your friends - I just know a way to solve this matter.
Method."
"Hey, hey, hey..." Cohen immediately jumped up from the ground: "You have to understand, you can't joke about this! People will die!"
"No kidding, if you want to resurrect your friend completely, you must first find my partner." Marshmallow's tone was very solemn: "It is the life that people on the ancient continent respected as God."
Cohen jumped back a step, put one hand on his waist, pointed at the marshmallow with the other, and started to become unclean again.
"Fuck! What does the ancient god have to do with me?" He looked like he was baring his teeth, but Marshmallow understood that this was because the little one was too excited: "Marshmallow, don't bluff me, give me the money right away.
If Shet is resurrected, we will still be friends, otherwise..."
"You must find her." Marshmallow responded to the ever-changing situation with the same attitude: "I can only save your friend's soul, and his soul is now under my protection - you want me to tell him everything about you.
?"
"Oh! We have such a good relationship, this kind of thing can be avoided, right?" Cohen immediately rushed forward, hugged the golden dragon's neck with both hands and shook it: "Is Fichet really there with you? Is he, is he okay?"
"If you don't find my partner soon, it's impossible for your friend to come back to you." Marshmallow struggled slightly, but he was indeed no match for the unscrupulous Cohen, so he had to let him hold him: "This meeting
The price is too great. I will no longer be able to look at you in the future, or even talk to you through a third party like I do today."
Marshmallow's words made Cohen dumbfounded: "So...that means my good luck has come to an end?"
"I'm afraid this is the case. I will no longer be able to help you when you are in danger, and I will no longer be able to know about you... Until you find my partner, she is the only one who has the means and means to contact me."
"Fuck! In such a big place, how do I know where your friend is hiding?" Cohen yelled again: "What kind of friend of yours doesn't even have a name! Even if there is a name, it must be 'A Cat and A Dog'
The kind that doesn’t make the grade…”
"She has a name." Marshmallow's eyes became a little melancholy: "She once told me that all life on the ancient continent called her - the source of life. And you, my friend, I have already felt that there is something in you.
Her breath! Although it is weak, it is her breath."
Cohen stood up straight, expressionless: "Fuck, you're kidding me again. When have I ever met a guy who claims to be the source of life?"
"You don't have to meet." Marshmallow is very persistent about her feelings: "Either you passed by each other, or she has looked at you for a long time."
"Is this okay?" Cohen looked at Marshmallow with a strange look, as if Marshmallow owed him a lot of money.
"Her life force is in an open form. Compared with her, my closedness seems very selfish." Marshmallow reminded Cohen tactfully: "Find her and follow her arrangements, and then you can resurrect your friend. This is the only way.
Method."
Finding the source of life is not the first time that Cohen has been entrusted. But he ordered himself not to think about it. Marshmallow has the ability to read other people's thoughts - for future plans, he must obtain more no matter what.
Take the initiative!
"Is this what you call a very difficult thing?" Cohen said after a long time: "I'm not complaining, there is a huge sea of people! Just one name, this information is too little, right? My enemies are everywhere, I can't
Look everywhere. There are thousands of people in my small area waiting for me to feed them - when the time comes to find your friend, all my people will starve to death?"
Marshmallow sighed: "You have more and more bad habits... In my memory, you don't seem to be a person full of conspiracies. Although you were stupid at that time, you still had many cute things."
"Am I cute?" Cohen retorted seriously: "Even if I have been cute before! But you have to understand that people will change."
"I didn't see the little one who became stronger." Marshmallow hit him mercilessly: "I only saw the depraved Cohen - you disguised your childhood self on the surface, and the nature underneath became more violent and fierce. However,
, and it is precisely because you have two personalities that the so-called demonization will fail."
"Okay! I'm just violent, so what?" The soft spot was pointed out by Marshmallow, and Cohen was angry: "So what if you have the experience of losing friends? That's amazing - have you ever been raped by a little bitch?
Playing around all night? You didn't! I escaped back only by pretending to be crazy. I, the world-famous Cohen Kedar, had to pretend to be crazy! In the end, there were four little bitches trying to play with me. You know
I don’t know what it feels like to pretend to be crazy and become really crazy! I’m really crazy!”
"I...I...I...the woman who saved me, she was so kind, but she died so miserably..." Cohen sat down slumped, holding his head in pain: "I watched her die, I
I watched her life disappear, but I couldn't do anything... Do you know why she died? Killed by a group of bastards for fun! What kind of world is this? A world of cannibalism... Why should I show another
My kindness and innocence? Why? People in this world, they don’t deserve it!”
"Although what you said is the truth, it cannot be the reason for your depravity." Marshmallow said slowly: "The truth is actually very simple. The woman who saved you also lives in this world, but she still
Kindness. And it is precisely because there are countless such kind people that life can continue. Kindness is not guilty, and innocence is not guilty... As for the guilty, I do not object to you punishing them by any means. But do you have
Have you ever thought that even the kindest people can have evil thoughts?"
Cohen held his head and said nothing.
"Your friends, your family, including yourself, even me, who can be perfect?" Marshmallow said with emotion: "The struggle between good and evil exists in every life at the same time and will continue to exist.
Go down. But you, you should not be discouraged and let it go until you fall...Little one, you have a valuable character that defies all authority. You can point out the direction for life in the confusion."
"Don't come here!" Cohen raised his head: "I'm just an ordinary person, I'm not as great as you think!"
"Actually, I don't need to say too much. You can do many things naturally." Marshmallow smiled: "In my opinion, your kindness has always existed and will exist forever. If you keep denying your nature, you will
Life is even more painful than it is now... You are too easily moved by others, you cannot accept the death of a kind-hearted woman who saved you, and you cannot accept more such things happening."
Cohen lowered his head again. Of course he knew his heart, but he still couldn't help but vent it in front of Marshmallow... It's the same as a frustrated person talking to a friend.
"If you say it, you will feel better. I understand that." Marshmallow behaved quite generously: "But after you have said it and you are done feeling depressed, you have to be brave. Just like you said, there are many people who are still waiting.
It’s up to you to rescue and lead.”
Cohen said angrily: "We'll talk about this later."
"Okay, let's talk about the matter at hand! I will take good care of your friend's soul, but you have to find the source of life as soon as possible. We can work together to resurrect your friend." Marshmallow said seriously: "About this continent.
, I communicated with the elders of the dragon clan and got some hints. The so-called gods and demons nowadays must have something to do with the disappearance of the source of life."
Cohen raised his head, a little frustrated: "How can I fight with gods and demons? A little girl can play me around in a movie."
"You don't have to have a direct conflict with gods and demons now. I know that you are leading a country. You go back now to consolidate your territory, accumulate strength and then expand, and find traces of the source of life." Marshmallow pointed to Cohen: "
In addition, I know that the energy you absorbed in the universe has also awakened. This power can be exerted using skills called magic. Although you cannot fully master it yet, practice makes perfect and you can always do it. And I use
Time has taken me to study the so-called magic of gods and demons...you have the strength to fight."
"It's that simple?"
"How complicated does it have to be? You haven't been able to make any progress because you're using the wrong method, and you're absorbing very little energy. Spend more time... meditate!" Marshmallow said calmly: "But the only thing is
What you need to pay attention to is time, time! As time goes by, it will be difficult for me to guarantee that your friend’s soul will not have problems..."
"How much time do I have?"
"It is best not to exceed five years. If you resurrect early, your friend's soul will be complete and the harm he will suffer will be less."
"I suspect you are playing tricks on me." Cohen snorted a few times: "How come it's not troublesome at all when I'm resurrected?"
"At that time, you were already an energy body, not only complete but also powerful. If you want to be resurrected, you only need to compress your energy." Marshmallow explained: "And it took me a lot of time to collect your friend's soul. I just finished repairing it.
In addition, his body suffered a bizarre injury that left him completely irrecoverable..."
"Okay!" Cohen jumped up from the ground again: "Just tell me to conquer the world!"
"This is for your friends and for my friends." Marshmallow shook his head and sighed: "Of course, conquer the world - you can understand it this way."
"I don't know what you are thinking, mother-in-law!" Cohen walked back and forth in front of Marshmallow: "I am only one person, I can't conquer the world! Anything among the gods and demons can tear me apart.
piece!"
"About this, I have taught some methods to the elders of the Dragon Clan, and they will tell you at the appropriate time that you can protect yourself." Marshmallow replied angrily. Of course, she knew that Cohen would make terms, so she had been prepared long ago.
Okay: "I also told them some other things, but these are auxiliary. The key to everything is you - before you find the source of life, you cannot let a third person know your true purpose."
.You can pretend to be a madman who wants to take over the world."
Cohen snorted: "Didn't you say that my strength is not enough? Give me some of yours..."
"I am happy to contribute my power." Marshmallow replied sincerely: "But your body will explode and your soul will disappear - this is the difference between strength and weakness."
Cohen had no choice but to play rogue.
"No matter what, you want me to deal with so many things. If I don't have any skills to defend myself, I will die if I go out..."
"It's not that I want you to deal with them, it's that you need to deal with them because of the path you choose."
"I don't care, I just don't care..."
"Okay!" Marshmallow increased his volume: "Find the source of life, she will help you!"
"The source of life? That's so illusory..." Cohen hummed: "I've never seen you like this. You have to feed a lot of grass while riding a horse...You also have to pick young grass...You also need to have the strength to do good things.
That's it... didn't you say last time that I would get a reward if I did well? Now you just let it go and I want to advance the reward!"
Marshmallow couldn't help but wonder again in her heart, whether she had done too many bad things back then, so that Cohen could deal with her today - of course, her thoughts at this moment were obviously influenced by the causal theorem in Cohen's memory.
"Okay! Let me think about it." Marshmallow finally gave in. Every time she met with Cohen, she felt that her will had become very weak: "Or, I can give you a little something to test."
"You should have told me earlier! If you make others worry..." Cohen immediately smiled, looking eager to try: "You also said that we will not see each other for a long time after this meeting. If something goes wrong with me, there will be no problem at all.
A chance to come back again. My request is actually very reasonable..."
"Okay!" Marshmallow interrupted Cohen's complacency: "It's not easy for me either. Think about it, I actually entrusted such an important matter of finding my partner to an irresponsible little guy who often loses his temper.
On my body..."
"It's still too late for you to regret."
"It seems that you are begging me to do something. Can't you be more humble in your tone?"
"Don't you always have no feelings?" Cohen chuckled: "How come you have such an emotional request?"
"If you have thoughts, you have feelings!" Marshmallow retorted loudly: "It's just that I'm not good at expressing it!"
"Okay, okay, it's good to know that you are cold-faced and warm-hearted." Cohen walked up to him unceremoniously and touched Marshmallow's head: "Be good..."
Marshmallow closed his eyes, then opened them suddenly. Two beams of blue light shot into Cohen's chest. Cohen yelled and his body began to shake...
At the same time, Abu, who was handling official duties in the Governor's Mansion of the Dark Province, also screamed, fell down, and began to shake... but after the panicked chamberlains rushed to help him up, he gradually recovered.
calm.
"It's okay." He shook his head: "Let's continue." (To be continued)
