The great sage is very tired

Chapter 90 Farewell

Offield didn't know if Ace would have agreed to him if he had said this to him 3000 years ago.

Maybe.

He had lived for more than 50 years in his previous life, and he had never been tempted by anyone. He had never considered any vigorous love, the kind of love he had seen so much in his cowardly king father.

Can love be eaten?Didn't his so-called life-and-death love ultimately lose to reality and the power that can't let go?

Oldfield doesn't want to be like him, he doesn't care about love, he only believes in himself, and what he is most proud of is that his own destiny is changed by himself, not because he has a king father.

But he does need company, he is very afraid of being alone, so he needs someone to be by his side all the time, this person used to be his mother, and later became his friends, and finally Perseus accompanied him until the end of his life.

For him, the person who accompanies him does not have to be his lover, he can be a family member, a friend, or even a pet.

If Ace chose to tell him his heart directly, he might not agree.What reason does he have to refuse?Ace and him are like-minded, have the same temperament, and are still very handsome. Maybe he won't return Ace's love for a while, but the two have been together for a long time in another capacity, and there is always room for development.

How can there be so much love at first sight in this world, and the long-term feelings that accumulate over time may not be as good as the vigorous love.

However, this is all a hypothetical... In fact, Orfield did not know Ace's intentions until his death in his previous life.

Missed, after all, missed.

And in this life, Orfield...

Facing Ace, who is now deeply obsessed and has only a wisp of remnant soul left, Offield doesn't know how to respond to this wish.

"Sorry, Ace, I..." Orfield looked at Ace's eyes staring at him, but couldn't say anything before the rest.

But in fact, Ace no longer needs Offield's answer.

His biggest obsession is just to convey this heart to Orfield. To be able to see him today, and to be able to say what he has always wanted to say in front of him, is enough for Ace up.

Even his current answer can make Ace happier - because he knows that he has not missed more.

Some people may find it unbelievable that he frantically searched for the cause of Offield's death, researched the road to becoming a god like holding on to the last straw, and waited for 3000 years with his soul wandering and persistently, in the end it was to tell him personally Last sentence.

After the words are finished, the wish is fulfilled, and the obsession no longer exists.

"Come on, make room for me." Although Orfield has been squatting in the laboratory for many years, but fortunately he has not forgotten to exercise a little bit, not to mention that he has a physique above S rank, so he climbed up to the top without any effort. He walked out of the tree of life, came to Ace's side, and sat on the same branch with him.

The tree of life is extremely lush, not to mention that Ace is just a weightless soul, and Offield is just a slender boy. Even if they are two fat people sitting side by side on it, the branches will not be overwhelmed.

The two of them sat side by side, quietly looking up at the sky. Today, the silver moon in the sky is dim, but the stars are shining brightly, embellishing the magnificent night sky.

Just like many years ago, the few people who lived and slept during the adventure, after a day of fighting, lay on the grass without any image, looked up at the sky, chatted, complained about their past, and fantasized about their future life .

"How are you doing now?" Ace asked him.

"Very good." Oldfield nodded, and he cherished this last opportunity to talk to his old friend: "This child is an orphan, but unfortunately passed away in a car accident. When I just woke up, I was shocked by the life I have now—you You are right, human creativity is infinite. I never imagined that the world will be so colorful in 3000 years, how about you? You won’t be hiding in this tree all the time, will you?”

"Of course not." Ace raised his chin proudly: "I often go out to see through the children's bodies, it's too boring to stay in the tree all the time - but I usually just look, so many years , I have only manipulated Ace's body."

The daily life of the high priest is to sleep in the tree of life to maintain his soul body. When he wakes up and feels bored, he picks an elf who came to worship the holy tree and goes out to have a look. After a long time, he needs to replenish his strength and come back.

"Then what will you do if people don't come here and stay outside?" Offield asked.

"That's why I only pick people from the royal family." Ace spread his hands: "The elf kings of all ages knew of my existence. I always have to get the consent of their parents to go to someone else's body, right? And I just attached a small strand of soul On other people, most of the time I just roughly perceive everything around me, and I pay great attention not to infringe on the privacy of the children."

"It's been too long and their parents will call the child back for me." Ace added.

A soul that no longer has a body, but the soul of a great sage who was extremely powerful during his lifetime, is it easy to dismantle, okay?

Offield curled his lips: "All right, all right, you're always justified, no one can beat you, you've always been like this..."

"Ofield, you still have the nerve to talk about me?" Ace retorted: "You are not the same. You look gentle and calm, but in fact, you are so narrow-minded that you will die. Those who offend you will have good fruit to eat?"

"I learned everything from you. Before I knew you, I couldn't be more innocent..."

The two great sages, who are not too young, quarreled with each other again like children after many years. The veil of warmth when old friends met and recalled the past was quickly torn apart mercilessly by the two people who dismantled each other, revealing the loss of friendship. essence.

However, this kind of quarrel is probably the last time in this life.

The night is gradually getting darker, and the night in this season is still a little cold, especially as time goes by, the closer to the dawn, the lower the temperature around the body, the darker the night, and even the stars no longer shine.

This is the coldest and darkest moment before dawn, and it is also the moment when the night dissipates and the sun comes closest.

Beside Orfield, Ace's originally solid figure became thinner.

The old man meets, the wish is fulfilled, and the obsession dissipates, there is nothing in the world worthy of his continued nostalgia.

The 3000-year wait has finally come to an end.

Offield knew everything that was going on around him, but he kept trying not to look at him. He knew that he could meet Ace's eyes just by tilting his head, but he didn't.

Or he didn't dare... This is a rare moment when the great sage is full of fear, and it is also a rare moment when he wants to deceive himself-but some things won't happen if he doesn't look at them.

Ace raised his hand, his hand was white and flawless, with slender fingers, like the most sublime artwork carefully crafted by the best artist, there were fireflies flying around them all the time, one of them wanted to land on his hand , but left an empty space.He could only dance up and down around his fingers as if in doubt, as if he was testing something.

The wind blows through the leaves and makes a rustling sound, and the tree of life is also saying goodbye to the high priest who has been with it for 3000 years.

A faint light shines from the tree below them, from light to bright, streams of light flow upward from the root system of the tree, gradually lighting up the trunk, branches and leaves, and silver-white light spots flicker among the leaves, slowly Slowly rose into the air, like butterflies dancing lightly, dancing lightly, as the last gift to the high priest.

And Orfield finally turned his head to look at him, his eyes were slightly red, but the corners of his lips curved gently.

And Ace was smiling too.

The world is like this, the fate is like this, it is better to accept it calmly, and then say goodbye with a smile.

"Ace, bye."

"Al, goodbye." In the silver-white stream, the high priest stretched out his hand to Orfield, caressing the corner of his eye that was about to cry with his right hand, leaned forward, and gently planted a vain kiss on his forehead ——A completely illusory, but extremely real kiss.

"I wish you happiness."

The darkness before dawn was finally broken, and the light that soared into the sky almost illuminated the entire imperial capital, and the soul of the high priest also dissipated into countless light spots and merged into it, and he was nowhere to be found.

When the soaring light gradually dissipated, the sky finally revealed a golden red color.

Its daybreak.

There was only one figure left on the tree of life, and Orfield stared blankly at the direction of the sunrise. After a long time, he covered his eyes with his right hand, and only two lines of tears fell from the gap between his palm and cheek.

……

The tree of life suddenly bloomed at night. The elf queen looked there for a long time in her bedroom, and finally sighed. She rejected the request of the captain of the guards to investigate, and ordered that no one should enter the forest today to worship the sacred tree. .

Perseus kept watch all night in the woods, far away.

Until the high priest's soul completely dissipated, until the daylight finally broke, until Orfield finally wiped away his tears.

"Come out," Orfield called to him.After his emotions stabilized, all perceptions finally returned to his control, and he could easily find that Perseus was hiding there.

Maybe he didn't hide either, but he just understood Offield, so he specially left space for him to sort out his emotions.

"Al, go back." Perseus walked out of the woods, passed the Fountain of Life in a few steps, and came under the tree. They are now very much like Orfield and Ace from last night—one in the tree above and one under the tree.

But everything is different, because as long as they are willing to stretch out their hands, they can truly touch each other, truly feel each other's body temperature, truly feel each other's pulse and the strength of the clasped hands.

"I don't want to go." Oldfield shook his head and said, "I'm tired."

Perseus was stunned for a while before he realized that "I don't want to leave" did not mean that I didn't want to leave the tree of life, so he immediately turned around and turned his back to Orfield: "Come on, I'll carry you. "

Offield smiled and said, "Okay."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

High Priest: Hey, have I finished it yet?I've only been in three episodes! ! !

Ace: More than three episodes, okay?When the old ancestor Orr and the dean disappeared before, you still borrowed my body's yin and yang connotation dean, and you still mesmerized my girlfriend, do you remember?You, the soul behind it, have a sense of presence too! ! !

Luluni: Who is dazed, I am not, I am not, don't talk nonsense!

……

The ending of the High Priest was thought up early in the morning. This farewell scene has been circled in my mind countless times, and I finally wrote it here today.

The high priest represents the hesitation, miss and regret in the relationship.The great sage is not a love brain (not currently), he does not yearn for vigorous love, his life experience makes him more inclined to long-term management and mutual understanding in love. Ace had this opportunity 3000 years ago. After all, he has good conditions in all aspects and shares the same goals with the great sage.But at that time, he didn't dare to say, maybe it was just a moment of hesitation, but because of the sudden death of the great sage, he lost the opportunity forever.

When they met again, both of them knew that there was no possibility for them. For him, Orfield's failure to respond to him was the result he wanted most.Instead of knowing that you once had the opportunity to be with the person you love but missed it because of momentary hesitation, it is better to just end it without adding new regrets.

Such regrets and misses are a reminder for both the great sage and Pearl, reminding them to see their hearts clearly as soon as possible, and not to regret later.

Goodbye, High Priest.
