C193 Redemption(2)

"But I will never give up!" puzzle-solver drank a mouthful of wine, his expression firm.

"I envy you, at least you still have hope!" My heart aches, "Have you never thought of Lan Yi Sen's method?"

Puzzle-solver looked at me and smiled. "Do you know how to use such dirty methods?"

I shook my head. "You didn't use that method. How did you manage to achieve what you have today?" Regarding puzzle-solver's high level, I still have some doubts.

"I just happened to step on the rhythm of my cultivation. Every time I used the pressure of death to force myself to improve, I could be considered lucky. I survived so many life and death situations." puzzle-solver said in a low voice.

I narrated the process of my cultivation to puzzle-solver. When I mentioned the theory of the five elements, puzzle-solver was shocked. "I have been cultivating for a lifetime, but I have never found the ultimate truth of dark magic. Zhang Loong, you are really a god! Your law might be able to make me fulfill my wish in the end! You have such a good comprehension ability, why should I give up?"

I was speechless.

"I don't know if what that angel said is true, but everything depends on the person. Aren't you the one who hates foul customs the most? Don't tell me you don't have the courage to challenge the rules set by God? If it were me, why would I care so much? At most, I will fight the Demon King to the death once more. The Demon King has an immortal body. You too, who is afraid of who? With my talent, it might be difficult for me to understand the effects of dark magic at its peak. But you are different. After reaching level 100, who knows if you have the ability to break archangel's curse?" puzzle-solver seems to be persuading me to continue that unknown exploration.

I was silent. During his test, the angel Hardell borrowed Talitha's words to say the rule that no one can be reincarnated a second time. Talitha and the Devil King are one. Reviving Talitha is the same as reviving the Devil King. Do I still have the confidence to defeat the Devil King? Even if I defeat the Devil King, Talitha's soul will still be destroyed. What is the meaning of that to me?

We were silent for a while. puzzle-solver said, "I understand your pain. If I don't have my final wish in my life, I will be free after my death. But you don't seem to be able to. "

Puzzle-solver's words made me even more afraid of life. The Death God won't accept me. My pain will never crumble like that piece of wood.

"Talitha is a human, and you are also a human. Since she can give you the ability to stay alive, can't you break it yourself? Who said that you don't have such an ability after reaching the Divine level?" puzzle-solver said slowly.

Is that so? My heart skipped a beat. Dark magic and the light system's magic had reached the pinnacle. There was no difference between them. Can't I break the seal? If I can be buried together with Talitha, I can be considered to have achieved perfection in the end!

Is puzzle-solver instructing me to beg for death? If it was someone else, they would definitely scold me, but I am incomparably grateful. That is my only path of self-salvation. Since there is no hope in life, the attraction of death is irresistible to me. Perhaps after I die, I can really return to that pure paradise. With my parents and friends by my side, I might be able to find Talitha in the world of death.

"Thank you!" I feel that puzzle-solver is a wise man. He gave me hope four years ago. He made me forget the pain and live a happy life again. At this time, he also gave me a suggestion to complete myself. He made me find the only way to free myself.

"Thank you? I don't even know what I'm saying. You... "Before puzzle-solver could finish his words, his expression suddenly changed. I saw fear in his eyes.

I have never seen puzzle-solver's terrified expression. Even when my finger pierced through his armor four years ago, he did not show any fear at the moment of life and death. What happened?

"Zhang Loong, I think I have to leave. We will meet again in the future!" After saying that, puzzle-solver got up and left. Soon, he disappeared into the snow.

Although puzzle-solver was always elusive, he had never been like this before. It was as if his life would be in danger if he did not leave. What was going on? I stared blankly in the direction where puzzle-solver had left. My heart was at a loss.

"Hey, what are you spacing out for? You seem to always be like this, spacing out." Cecilia raised her index finger and waved it a few times in front of my eyes.

"Ah, Cecilia, why did it snow so heavily? Why did you come out?" Cecilia's clear eyes were full of smiles. Her snow white face was so cold that it turned slightly red. I was happy again. What kind of good day is today? I just met puzzle-solver and saw Cecilia again. Will Ekdo also come to find me today?

In my despair, friends can still bring me warmth.

Cecilia reached out her hand and roasted the fire for a while. Then she put down the bamboo basket on her back and took out a grey cotton coat. She said in a low voice, "I made another one for you, in case you don't even have to change."

I took the cotton coat in a daze and thought to myself, Could it be that Cecilia has a good impression of me? Why did you personally make cotton clothes for me? But on second thought, I couldn't help but mock myself. I am a poor and destitute blacksmith. I'm not handsome, and I don't have any exceptional martial arts. How can I have such charm? This is just the care between friends.
