Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 850 The answer to the hypocritical proposition

"Okay, I think it's time for you to take me to Mingye."

Laurent didn't seem to want to pursue more details. Although his combat effectiveness was still insufficient, and his right arm that was eroded by the poison could not use any strength at all, he knew that he had no time to delay any longer.

Now that the Final Beast may be resurrected at any time, the "hero" will of course find a way to solve the source of the problem.And if that guy is allowed to take the lead, he won't be able to recover all the fragments.

"Are you so anxious? In fact, you can take a rest. After all, even if you get to Mingye's place now, you may not be able to beat her."

"Ye Ying, who is constantly absorbing faith, is getting stronger all the time. If I don't act immediately, maybe the Realm Sword will fall into his hands."

In that case, everything will come to an end. Whether it is Ophelia's wish or the plan of the Golden City, the only one who can complete these is himself.This was not blind confidence, but something he fully understood from the beginning.

——Because this is your real "trial", you must pass it, and you will definitely complete all your goals.

"Is it really okay? My dear, you can't even hold a weapon with that hand now, right?"

"That's right. I can't defeat the enemy that I should be unable to defeat anyway with just four hands."

"Okay, but before that, please answer me a question."

Ophelia's eyes were a little wandering. She didn't seem to want to look directly at Lauren's face. She didn't know what she was thinking.But Laurent didn't care about these little things. He looked at the girl's face calmly, as if nothing was more important than the person in front of him.

"Obviously as long as you choose to give up, all the troubles will no longer bother you, but why do you persist until now?"

Yes, it was obvious that I could give up a long time ago.

He was inexplicably thrust into the academy and encountered a lot of problems in the academy.Then he was involved in the conspiracy of heaven, and finally even the multidimensional world disappeared because of this.Finally, when we arrived in the Golden Capital, we could only move towards an unknown ending step by step under the control of others.

Why did I never think of giving up along the way?

"do not know."

Lauren couldn't answer this question. He felt like he was always being pushed forward by something that could be called "destiny", with no chance to stop or retreat.Although it is not like a puppet without its own will, what drives itself forward is definitely not some kind of desire.

"I simply can't remember what happened the last time I came to the world, but this time I know very well... why I came here."

——It’s for Huanghua and Ophelia.

"For what?"

"No special reason, let's go."

Ophelia didn't ask further questions, as if she had already noticed what Lauren wanted to say.The two of them had a tacit understanding without saying anything. They might have known what the other was thinking and what they would do for each other. They didn't need words to prove it.

But the bystanders who had been hiding away for a long time were very dissatisfied with these two people.

"I thought I could see some interesting scene, but did you two understand each other like this?"

The shadow beneath the two men suddenly expanded and instantly turned into a dark quagmire.At this time, Laurent felt that his heart began to beat violently - it was the heart of realm that resonated with a certain fragment close at hand.

"Oh? So you are still following us? I thought you..."

"Shut up, Ophelia, I have something to talk to him alone."

The sludge-like darkness swallowed up the sneering girl in an instant, but Laurent walked outside the Marsh of Shadows without any hindrance.Of course he knew whose ability this belonged to and what kind of enemy he was about to face.

"I'm sorry, young man. Although I have been following you quietly, I couldn't help you much at the academy."

The shadows pouring out of the swamp gathered into the appearance of humans, but the animal ears on the top of the head and the sharp bladed tail behind it like a murderous weapon declared the abnormality of the holder.

——One of the disasters in the multidimensional world, the Lord of the Deep Shadow Abyss, Rosalind.

"Isolated her on purpose. Is there something important to say?"

But the woman in front of him is not the legendary hero of the past, but a replica constructed by the Golden City using the collected soul fragments and fused with its own observation records.Even if she doesn't look any different from what he saw in the past, there is a clear difference in essence.

She is an illusion that can only exist here and has no future.

"I know what you're going to do next, boy."

The woman with Rosalind's appearance spoke slowly, but there was no trace of intimacy in her voice.She was mixed with fragments of the Final Beast from the beginning, so maybe she should have been like this.

"You plan to recover all the fragments of the 'Beast', then use that power to fight the 'Hero', and finally absorb his power, right?"

"Yes."

"You will die."

The sudden answer hit Lauren's brain like a heavy hammer, but he did not lose his mind, but became calmer.

In fact, he had already had such a premonition.

"Perhaps because it is the 'tail' that symbolizes the end, it happens to record the cause of your last death."

"Can't I bear those two powers?"

"You died a thousand years ago because you absorbed two completely opposite powers into your body."

Some questions seem to have been answered.The reason why I have an inseparable connection with the "Hero" and "Beast" is because they were the culprits of my previous death.And when he was born again a thousand years later, the fate was still entangled with him.

"I see. If you put it that way, I'm not a 'hero' or a 'beast' at all."

"...Ophelia didn't tell you anything?"

"I can guess it without her having to say anything. The Golden City and she probably regard me as a useful tool to help them deal with the most difficult problems... It's just a one-time use."

But he didn't seem to feel sad about this. Laurent had long realized that he seemed to be carrying a certain mission from the beginning, and the purpose of his existence in the world was to complete that mission.

——Even if it means paying the price with your life.

"Someone has to solve the problem anyway, right? Compared to sacrificing those innocent people, it doesn't matter if a tool like me is used up, right?"

"...Do you know why Ming Ye chose to declare war on humanity?"

Rosalin's voice suddenly became sad. It was precisely because she knew certain answers that she felt such an emotion.Even if she wasn't the same person she used to be, she did feel sad about it.

"We are just fictitious phantoms. Our mission was originally to guide you to obtain the last fragments, but Ming Ye, who inherited the 'Eye', saw another truth that we didn't know."

What was the purpose of everything that person did?
"Even if she knows that she is just a counterfeit, she still wants to free you...from the fate of blessing and curse."
