Thales frowned and said, "Is this possible? What will be the consequences?"
The Silver Shadow Man was silent for a long time.
After a full ten seconds, he replied coldly:
"This has nothing to do with you, Canxing."
Thales choked abruptly and felt a little embarrassed.
But he still took a breath and looked at the Silver Shadow Man seriously: "I... I have friends up there, in Longxiao City. I want to know, I should know."
Thales thought of Thelma, Grievor, and even the entire shield area that was reduced to powder by the magic masters' battle.
Shield area.
Thinking of this, Thales couldn't help but get nervous.
The Silver Shadow Man seemed to be observing him, and after a few seconds he slowly spoke:
"What will happen to this curse in the future is not something you should consider, nor is it something you can control."
"At least as you can see, I can maintain the current situation, prevent the curse from getting worse, and prevent the number of dead souls from increasing," the Silver Shadow Man seemed to find it unconvincing, and subconsciously added:
"The status quo can be maintained for a long time."
Thales frowned deeply.
"A long time?"
"how long?"
He looked at the silver light that had been significantly weakened by the Silver Shadow Man after that blow, and couldn't help but sigh: "If it's like what the general said, powerful beings like you are constantly dying and weakening, and you rely on
The power to maintain oneself and one's sanity continues to disappear..."
The silver shadow man's pitch-black eyes flashed against the silver light.
"Once you can no longer suppress this curse, you can no longer 'maintain the status quo'... Although I don't know what will happen to the curse, and I don't know what the consequences will be, but above is Longxiao City, Exeter, and Xilu
…”
The Silver Shadow Man said nothing.
Thales looked at him closely: "Is there no other way?"
"Like eliminating it completely, once and for all?"
The Silver Shadow Man seemed to be absent-minded for a moment. He murmured and repeated the prince's words: "Once and for all?"
The other party's facial features immediately sharpened, and the conversation turned cold: "No."
"all of you."
"The further away you are from it, the better." The Silver Shadow Man suddenly turned around, and the strong contrast between light and darkness on his face made Thales feel chilled by the depth and dazzling look on his face:
"Leave the rest to me, that's enough."
"This is the best way I can think of at the moment." He said firmly.
Thales frowned for a long time, and finally shook his head.
"I do not understand."
The silver shadow man snorted softly.
"You don't need to understand."
"Because you can't do anything about it, Canxing," he directly denied Thales' concerns from the source: "Even if you worry, you can't do anything."
"At least, the current you, the weak you, the young you, the immature you, are powerless."
Thales was speechless.
The dark surroundings slightly reflected the cold light under the radiance of the Silver Shadow Man, and the coldness hit Thales' back again.
The two were silent for a while.
"how about you?"
"You are going to block the black path, but..."
Thales asked quietly: "Are you just... staying here all the time?"
"Can't you leave? Go to where you should be?"
This question made the Silver Shadow man stunned for a while.
"I?"
As if he was considering this issue for the first time, he lowered his head and chewed on the issue for a while.
"I've been dead for a long time."
Silver Shadow Man said calmly.
"A long, long time... so long that I don't even remember how long it was."
"But I, who have died long ago, can still survive today without relying on my body. In addition to that great existence, I actually also rely on the effectiveness of this curse."
Thales's expression turned cold.
Silver Shadow Man's words became lowered: "It's ironic, isn't it."
"I can only stay here and guard this curse forever until it is destroyed together," the Silver Shadow Man said silently:
"Or let it conquer me, enslave me, and assimilate me."
Thales felt sad.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a little cold.
In this place, in this dark, damp, cold, dead and silent place...
The man in front of me...
In this way, from death to now, you have stayed here tirelessly and without knowing the end?
"But more than that, I am the only power that can restrain it," the Silver Shadow Man's tone became firm and stern again, leaving no doubt: "I have been staying here to prevent new souls from being pulled into the curse.
Brewing tragedy, becoming the puppet and nourishment for a new round."
"As long as I'm here, it can't continue to deteriorate. That's the point of my stay here."
Seeing the other party's determination, Thales couldn't help blurting out:
"What about yourself? When will you be liberated?"
"You will always be trapped here, alone, facing these dead souls, facing the rocks, facing the darkness, and facing the curse day and night..."
"Day after day, year after year, century after century, do you still have to be cautious and cautious to prevent yourself from losing your sanity and falling into the hands of the enemy?"
"what would you do?"
This time, the Silver Shadow Man was silent for a long time.
"I can see it, Canxing..."
The Silver Shadow Man nodded slowly, speaking in a slow and deep rhythm: "In this regard, you are quite like Thor."
"Thor?"
Thales didn't react for a moment: "Who is Thor?"
The Silver Shadow Man shook his head.
"You don't have to worry about me," he replied in a cold tone:
"I am a dead person. I will gain nothing even if I live, and I will lose nothing if I go."
"I only do what I am willing to do, willing to do, and want to do. That's all. Don't think of me as so pitiful, and don't think of me as so selfless and great."
Thales looked at him blankly.
But the other party's conversation immediately changed: "But you are a living person, a young shining star. You have not yet reached the time to be with us. You should neither die today nor die here."
His tone was a little sad:
"We eventually parted ways."
The small cave was quiet for a moment.
"I know," the prince sighed deeply and glanced at the expressionless silver shadow man: "But..."
"But there's always a way, right."
Thales thought of something, and his eyes lit up: "I may not be able to do it, but I know some people, some... beings with unimaginable power, profound knowledge, and sharp thinking. Maybe he... maybe they can find a way."
This time, the Silver Shadow Man looked at him for a long time.
It lasted so long that Thales couldn't bear it any longer.
"You're not the only one who thinks so." He said softly, and the echo echoed in Thales' ears.
The other party did not look at him anymore, but slowly stepped forward. The flowing silver light made the whole person appear more unique and dazzling.
"But just like the deeds of the Iron-Blooded King, it is the beginning of the rise of mankind...Here, the curse of the Iron-Blooded King is also the origin of all disasters."
The Silver Shadow Man raised his head and looked at the surrounding closed, locked, dark and monotonous rock walls with deep features.
The...origin of everything?
The Silver Shadow Man slowly shook his head: "If you knew how much the mages have paid to eliminate this curse and eliminate its impact..."
"If you knew, how many so-called powerful, knowledgeable, and sharp-thinking people are trying to get close to this curse and unlock its secrets."
"And how many of them are talented people, but they have been lost along the way, gone crazy on the road, and collapsed on the road..."
"And in this process, they evolved and gave birth to many evil consequences..."
"Many of these consequences are still tormenting the world to this day..."
"I'm afraid I wouldn't say something like that so easily."
Thales remained silent with doubtful eyes, listening to the other party's story, but could not understand the Silver Shadow Man's words at all.
What's the meaning?
"Kind intentions may not produce good results," the other party's words became harsh and unceremonious:
"Some soils are destined to bloom flowers of extreme evil."
They fell silent again.
"Really." Thales lowered his head, said nothing, and just sighed quietly.
Neither of them spoke a word until the light on the silver shadow's face moved slightly.
"but."
"If you really want to do something," the Silver Shadow Man looked at him, slowly raised his right arm, and lightly clenched his fist: "Then get ready first."
Thales forced a smile, raised his head and sneered, "What are you preparing for?"
The silver shadow man nodded slightly, then shook his head slightly: "Now, you only have blood in your body."
Thales' smile disappeared.
"What do you mean? 'Only by blood'?"
The other party's dark features stirred: "Young bright star, your ambition is still childish, your future is not yet clear, and your awareness is far from enough."
"I heard what you said. Disasters still remain in the world, ruthlessly harvesting lives and brewing tragedies, right?"
Thales was slightly surprised: "Huh?"
The light on the silver shadow man's face flickered on and off, facing Thales faintly.
The prince suddenly felt that what was hidden behind the silver face of the other party was probably a fiery emotion far beyond his imagination.
"Tormund failed to fulfill his promise," the Silver Shadow Man looked at Thales quietly and said slowly:
"But I can see that he left hope to future generations."
The silver shadow man gently opened his palm, and a few strands of silver light appeared on it, flowing back and forth, like a crystal river of stars, without any wonder.
A second of silence.
Thales's pupils shrank slightly.
"Tomon..." he murmured: "You mean..."
"Go." The Silver Shadow Man said calmly, but the echo was particularly obvious, which made Thales couldn't help but be surprised.
"Find the mission that belongs to your ancestors and family, take it over, and become a man who can be trusted."
The silver shadow man with a special status shook his features slightly, as if showing the quietest smile: "Only then will you be qualified to come back and fulfill Thor and I's long-cherished wish."
The darkness in his eyes seemed to contain the depth of the entire world: "At that time, you will be qualified to end all of this, and end the disasters including this eternal curse."
"End them from beginning to end."
Thales looked at the Silver Shadow Man in this state with confusion. He seemed to have grasped something, but he seemed not to understand anything.
In the end, the prince frowned and shook his head honestly:
"I...I don't understand."
The other party shook slightly, and the silver light on his face rippled.
"Then I hope you never understand."
Thales was a little surprised.
I saw the Silver Shadow Man slowly raising the flowing silver glow on his right palm, watching the light above converge back into his body.
"Young shining star."
As he slowly stepped forward and approached Thales, he said quietly: "Thank you for giving me such precious, interesting, and happy hours in the dark watch with no scale, no end, no future, and no direction.
.”
"Although, I will forget it soon."
"Return to the past."
Thales looked at the other party steadily, the feelings in his heart were complicated and difficult to describe.
The next moment, the Silver Shadow Man put his right palm against his face, leaned forward, put his forehead made of silver light against Thales' forehead, and looked at him quietly.
Thales only felt a slight chill in the center of his forehead, where the silver light flowed.
He stared blankly at the silver figure who was looking at him deeply. He felt that the person in front of him was shining with a silver light that made him unable to look straight and he had to squint.
But those eyes were extremely deep.
Thales had never looked at this extraordinary Silver Shadow man so closely, and he even had the illusion that the other person's dark eyes seemed to contain the stars of the entire universe.
"May the mountains tolerate your footsteps, and may the earth protect your journey." The light on the silver shadow man's body lit up, and every time he spoke a syllable, the silver light on his body trembled.
At that moment, a slight tinnitus sounded in Thales's ears.
"Beep..."
It's lighter and softer than any time before.
As if silent.
"Wish you..."
"Never go astray."
As the last few syllables fell, Thales felt the soft tinnitus gradually disappear.!
The next second, the light on the Silver Shadow Man suddenly dimmed!
Before Thales could react, the Silver Shadow Man let go of him.
The cool feeling on my forehead disappeared.
"What is this?" Thales looked at the other person blankly.
But the Silver Shadow Man just shook his head and did not answer.
"Thank you," Silver Shadow Man still faced him silently: "brought her greetings."
The next moment, before Thales could come back to his senses, the Silver Shadow Man turned around and walked towards the closed and seamless black rock wall.
The silver footprints behind him are as brilliant as ever.
"The dead souls will never bother you again."
"Turn around and move forward, you will find a way out."
"Forget today and go back to your life."
The other person's words echoed in my ears.
Thales's heart moved, and he had a feeling: This is goodbye.
An inexplicable impulse drove the prince to catch up two steps and said loudly to the back of the Silver Shadow Man:
"Will we meet again?"
The Silver Shadow Man's footsteps paused slightly, and the light on his body trembled slightly.
"Of course." He said softly.
At this moment, the silver light suddenly flowed to the top of the silver shadow man's head, transforming into a line of text:
【He is lying】
Thales was stunned.
The Silver Shadow Man stood there, as if he still hadn't noticed the strange thing above his head: "One day, we will definitely be able to meet again in hell like all peaceful and resting souls."
"And not here, in the curse of last resort."
"Young shining star."
The Silver Shadow Man took another step and walked towards the path he came from.
His body made of light slowly blended into the rock wall.
The silver light leaped for a while, and it was written again:
[He is still lying]
Thales watched blankly as the Silver Shadow Man sank into the rock formation.
Looking at the silver light, it gradually dimmed.
The silver light also dimmed and continued to form a text:
【You will never meet again】
Thales frowned.
Finally, all the Silver Shadow Man's bodies disappeared on the rock wall.
The silver light passes away and is no longer seen.
The almost dim silver light swayed out the last words in mid-air and disappeared without a trace:
【Farewell】
The next second, Thales' vision went dark, and the entire cave fell into complete darkness as the Silver Shadow Man left.
Leaving Thales alone, he returned to the lonely and dead darkness.
Facing the cold air, the stiff rock formations, and the boundless silence.
In the darkness, Thales could not see anything.
But he still stared blankly at the direction in which the Silver Shadow Man was leaving, until an inexplicable feeling hit his heart.
Not long ago, the scene of the Silver Shadow Man punching hard, transforming into armor, and teasing himself easily seemed to still be vivid in his mind.
[I am a dead person...]
[The first day I opened my eyes here...]
[I can only stay here...until I am destroyed together with it...]
【Leave the rest to me...】
【A long, long time, so long that I don’t even remember how long it was...】
[Thank you, in the dark watch with no scale and no end, no future and no direction...]
【Give me such precious, interesting, happy hours...】
[Although, I will forget it soon...]
[We will eventually part ways...]
[Of course...one day, we will be able to be like all peaceful and resting souls...]
【Goodbye...】
The next second.
Thales tightened his fists, gritted his teeth, took steps, and ran forward!
At that moment, he felt an impulse surge into his heart and soak into his veins.
"boom!"
His arm hit the solid rock wall hard!
But Thales was completely unaware. He raised his hoarse and uncomfortable voice, gritted his teeth and shouted in the direction of the rock wall: "I will remember it!"
"Remember..." The prince's voice echoed in the cave.
"Even if you have forgotten everything..."
"Even if you have disappeared into thin air..."
"I will also remember today, remember today in the dark path!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Thales clenched his trembling fists and knocked hard on the rock wall.
I hope this can be conveyed to the other end of the rock formation, to the other end of the lonely night.
"Hey, did you hear that?"
In the bottomless darkness, the unwilling prince took a long breath to hold back the soreness in his nose.
"I will always remember you..."
"Remember your name!"
He almost clung to the rock wall and yelled the name with all his strength:
