Chapter 248 The Soul That Cannot Be Recorded He is a Good Teacher...
In front of the elegantly lined palace, Zander hid himself and leaned against a faceless statue, waiting boredly for Vifiya's friends to finish speaking.
He knew why he was here, and he wasn't unhappy about it, after all, he was a good teacher.
He looked over and saw [Vefiya] standing nearby. She said, "You're right, Miss Vefiya. Something did get into the statue."
Nimue looked towards the faceless statue and said softly, "We can't be sure what went in, or when."
Then you are really incompetent. The straightforward resentment made a circle in [Vifiya]'s mouth. Well, she is Jiang Suian now.
She looked extremely patient, indicating to the Elf King that she was listening carefully.
"Your Majesty." Arianna, standing beside him, bowed her head and whispered respectfully in the Elf King's ear, "Let me speak."
Nimuwei turned her head, glanced up at her, and nodded.
The pink-haired elf nodded upon receiving permission and stood up straight. "It started with a faint white light appearing from the heart of the statue. The king ordered alert. For several days, nothing unusual happened, except the light grew brighter. Later, any elves in the royal court who mentioned the white light would mysteriously fall into a deep sleep. The duration of these sleeps varies, and some elves haven't woken up yet."
This is why Nimuwei beat around the bush and didn't answer immediately. Sleeping would not endanger one's life, but it would bring an unknown duration of sleep. No matter how long one sleeps, it will bring trouble.
[Vifiya]'s expression remained unchanged, but she was extremely impatient. This was not the kind of nonsense she wanted to hear. What did it have to do with her how long someone slept? She was not here to help the elves solve their problems.
Ariana spoke a long paragraph in one breath, her breathing steady. She continued, "What we can confirm is that the object inside is very powerful. We will try to remove it..."
The look in her eyes said it all.
Xander pouted and said, of course they couldn't take it away, he put it there himself.
While Ariana was explaining, Isidore took out a pen and paper from the magic circle, quickly wrote a few words and threw it to Kaharun and the others.
The pink elf's eyes were calm as she asked, "Miss Vifiya, if you could tell us why you're asking this, then perhaps the king and I can help you accurately."
They are hiding something.
[Vifiya]'s fingertips hanging at her side moved slightly, and she felt a familiar beating in her heart, but it was different from the feeling she had before. In the past, she had always sensed the world that Jiang Suian was experiencing through his feelings.
This time, the incitement brought violence, but she smiled gently: "Nothing, I just suddenly felt something was wrong, so I came back to confirm it."
"I have a question." [Vefiya] smiled. "The magic inside is more powerful than..."
She glanced at the young Elf King: "How is it?"
It was Nimue herself who answered her: "It's taller than mine."
[Vefiya] nodded, indicating that she understood.
She turned around and met Isidore and Osha's eyes behind her. Her red pupils flashed with a cold light, and her tone was almost the same as Vifiya's usual tone: "Can you do it?"
Isidore did not answer, but simply turned his gaze towards the statue.
Osa glanced at him. She wanted to stop Isidore. He had said before that he couldn't sense what was inside, and now Ariana didn't say exactly what was inside.
She really wanted to find Vifiya, but she also knew that she couldn't let another person step into unknown danger.
But the problem is, Isidore won't listen.
She looked towards [Vifiya] in front of her, hiding the vigilance in her eyes.
It is true that this person has a special relationship with Vifiya and cares about Vifiya. If she encounters something that requires sacrificing everyone, she will do it without hesitation.
[Vifiya] curled the corners of her lips. She knew what Osa was thinking, and also knew Isidore's obsession with Jiang Suian.
She was too lazy to explore where his persistence came from. She was not interested in Jiang Suian's affairs with other people. What was important was that Isidore was still useful. It would be best if he could successfully find Jiang Suian. If not, what if he never woke up?
It was she who found the key that might be related to Jiang Suian's disappearance. She had basically prepared everything she needed, and roughly compared the magic power of the three parties. She also asked him in advance whether he could do it. It was something he wanted to do himself and he believed he could do it.
[Vifiya] watched Isidore step forward, but if something really happened to him, Jiang Suian wouldn't be angry with her, right?
The silver pupils reflected the statue. Isidore's idea was very simple. All magic in the world has a source. Now that it can be confirmed that there is indeed magic inside, then what needs to be done is very simple.
His magic power was slightly higher than that of the Elf King, which was enough for him to determine that the magic inside had no particular relationship with the rules of the world. Even if it did, it was not very big. So no matter what the reason was for him not being able to sense it, it didn't matter. He could just force it out.
Seeing Isidore approaching the statue, Osa gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, but she felt that she was still too careless and was about to speak.
"No need to go through so much trouble." A child's clear voice sounded beside the faceless statue.
The three people and two elves immediately became alert, and Ariana took a few steps to stand in front of Nimue.
[Vifiya] twitched her eyes, but no meaning could be seen in them.
A child in his early teens appeared. He slowly stood up, his eyes fixed on Vifiya and the others, and repeated, "No need to go to so much trouble."
He turned around without any hesitation, exposing his back to them.
Osa looked secretly at the two elves, and happened to meet their eyes. As their gazes met, they confirmed that neither of them knew each other.
They didn't move for a moment, for the simple reason that none of them had noticed anyone was there, much less realized how long he had been listening to their conversation, and now that he could put his back in front of them...
Nimue hid her inner vigilance. She was covered in the magic power of the Elf King's Court and did not sense the appearance of this person.
She gently brushed the corner of Arianna's clothes, walked up to the pink-haired elf, and asked, "Sir, what's the matter with you trespassing into the royal court?"
Zander didn't answer her. He looked up and stared at the center of the faceless statue. It seemed to sense something and suddenly emitted a white light. The light became brighter and brighter, but it was not dazzling.
A ball of light slowly emerged from the body of the statue.
Nimuwei wrapped magic around her fingertips, and Zander said nonchalantly: "Don't be nervous, Elf King."
Isidore, who was standing closest to Xander, did not move. He said, "Do you know what we want to do?"
The child's clear green eyes looked over and said crisply, "I know. Not only do I know, I've brought you news."
Nimue frowned imperceptibly.
Zander turned to face the three of [Vifiya], raised his hand, and moved his fingertips backwards. A white line passed by the statue and stopped in his hand.
He was playing with the ball of white light in his hand and looking at [Vefiya].
"Miss [Vefiya], I think you would like to talk to me." He smiled like a well-behaved child.
[Vefiya] arched her eyebrows and said, "Okay."
She looked at Ni Muwei. She did not forget that she was Jiang Suian now, so she would not cause trouble for Jiang Suian.
She said, "I'm sorry, but we need to speak to this visitor alone." She paused, looking directly into the Elf King's eyes, "I won't forget to give you an answer."
Nimuwei instantly understood what she meant. She was reminding them that she knew they were hiding something, and that the information they provided was not enough to exchange for the former king's last words. Now it was an additional condition to give them another chance.
The silver-haired girl raised her lips in a perfect arc: "Of course, we are willing to provide a quiet venue for our guests."
The two elves took a few steps back.
Isidore cast the soundproofing spell derived from his own magic at the right time.
Osha took a few steps forward and stood next to Vifiya so that the Elf King wouldn't notice anything unusual.
She didn't hide her vigilance at this moment: "Did you do anything about Vifiya's disappearance?"
Xander's eyes fell on her: "Yes and no."
It was indeed he who placed the things on the faceless statue, and he had specifically placed them there to wait for her, but if she hadn't gotten the things from Buma Lingda Lie, she wouldn't have truly succeeded in reaching the remains of the Old Dust Monument.
In the final analysis, just like the story recorded on the Old Dust Monument, it was all fate and her choice.
She chose to take the cloth, she chose to pass through the giant curtain, she chose to stay in front of the statue. It just so happened that she was the dust monument of the world, so her soul was briefly extracted.
A human being who is not recognized by the world, her story cannot be recorded.
In her repetitive stories, her life can be recorded again and again, not because she is recognized by the world, but because she is assimilated.
The world still rejects her.
A soul that cannot integrate into the world, a soul that cannot be recorded, can only deepen its connection with the world through death, can only brand its soul with pain and despair for the world, leaving behind a trembling for this world deep in the soul, which is also the condition for becoming a dust monument in a short time.
The time span for a star to become a dust monument is huge, from the creation of the world to the end of the first war between humans and alien races. The stars carry too many stories and have to fall prematurely.
The stars then became dust monuments.
And the repeated lives of his good students probably add up to less than a thousand years.
Choices affect destiny, and destiny cannot be separated from choices.
She became the only point that could move at any time. The point made different choices in different lives, affecting every fixed point. Even if those fixed points were changed again, they would not make choices that were impossible for them to make on their own. Everything remained in a stable destiny.
Because of this moving point, other points made different choices than before. One choice affected another until it swept through all destinies.
It was inevitable that she would become a monument to the world.
Xander could see her story, but he was unwilling to do it. Her story was indeed unique and extremely attractive to a bard.
However, since he is a good teacher, his strong-willed student would not like his painful struggle to be watched as entertainment.
He couldn't explain how he felt about such a student, just as he himself had never expected that he would ever accept a student.
Is it to increase the chances of survival for the good student, or to guide her to her ultimate destruction, ending Chenbei's life and her repetitive life?
Xander had never thought deeply about it, but he was certain of one thing: if he had still chosen to be a bystander, he would not have accepted her as a student and added his own part to the story.
So, he probably still felt soft-hearted towards his good student.
It's really rare.
He looked at his good student friends and said, "I'm just a messenger."
