Chapter 304 Shu Li's True Words
Looking at Morrissey's irritating expression, Sadler's forehead bulged with anger. He didn't want to go along with his plan. So, he looked at the blond man sitting next to Shu Li.
"Ask someone else."
Since we are in groups of two, each person should ask once.
Compared to Sperian's unreliability, Ace looks much more serious.
Morrissey was disappointed, sighed lightly, and continued to shuffle the cards.
Shu Li couldn't help but chuckle at his long, pointed ears, which were drooping slightly. He'd given her a chance earlier, but he hadn't seized it. Now it was too late to regret.
Sadler wasn't heartless; if he hadn't been interested in him, he wouldn't have been traveling with him. He was more reserved, unlike Morrissey, who was always talking about love, which made him seem frivolous.
Shu Li turned her head slightly and looked at the blond man beside her.
I wonder what questions he will ask Sadler, but I don’t think he will embarrass him, right?
Ace casually clasped his hands on the table, his green eyes fixed on the white mage across from him. He smiled and asked, "When your lover dies for you, will you choose to commit suicide for love, or live alone?"
As soon as the question was asked, silence fell in the room.
The others looked surprised. They didn't expect that Ace, who usually looked gentle and calm, would ask such a serious question.
No matter what choice you make, it is extremely painful for those who have lost their loved ones.
Shu Li was the most shocked one. Her heart was in turmoil. She stared blankly at the man's perfect profile, and a long-lost memory quickly emerged in her mind.
On Midsummer Day ten years ago, he was standing in the Milady Palace on Lake Saint-Zean, praying to the statues of the gods, and accidentally entered a fantasy world.
In the illusion, he saw a ruined palace, the corpses of countless races, and... the severely injured Elf King. His robe was torn and covered in blood, and he looked at the golden-haired goblin in his arms with sadness and despair.
The goblin's limbs hung limply, its wings were broken, blood had stained its white robes red, its eyes were closed, its skin was pale and bloodless, and it had been dead for a long time.
Shu Li couldn't stop crying when he saw the deceased golden fairy, and endless sadness eroded his soul.
At that time, he didn't understand why he had an emotional resonance with the people in the illusion. It was not until his body gradually grew up and he looked at the face in the mirror that looked more and more like the blonde fairy that he finally understood.
When he was fifteen, he returned from the Temple of Eddas, the god of fire, and asked the Elf King whether the illusion was real, and he received a positive answer.
The illusion is not an illusion, but a real world.
The three Horcruxes left by the God of Time chose him as their master, giving him the ability to travel through time and space.
He can go back to the past and foresee the future.
The Elf King once said that the tragic scene he saw in the illusion was not the war of gods ten thousand years ago, but might be in the future.
Therefore, he foresaw that his future self would die in the arms of the Elf King.
In order to change the tragic ending, he went to the mainland to gain experience in advance, looking for all the natural elemental elves, collecting five magic swords, taking precautions as soon as possible, and blowing up the dog head of the God of Darkness.
He had previously mistakenly believed that the dead blonde fairy was the Elf King's lover, but after learning that he was the master of the Horcrux, he decisively overturned this idea.
However, after having a few ambiguous dreams and hearing the questions the man next to her asked Sadler, Shu Li suddenly became less sure.
"Choose to commit suicide for love, or live alone?" Sadler pondered this sentence.
For the first time, Morrissey did not smile. He looked at Sadler nervously, wondering whether he was telling the truth or accepting the punishment.
This question is difficult to answer. No matter what choice you make, it will be a tragedy.
He doesn't like tragedy.
After all, he is a dark elf and Sadler is a white magician. Their positions are contradictory, and it is difficult for them to come together.
Morrissey hoped he wouldn't answer.
Sadler straightened his back, sat upright, and spoke carefully: "Is there no third option?"
Ace said, "Do you want to have one?"
Sadler said seriously: "To commit suicide for love or to live alone, neither of these is what I want."
The beloved sacrificed herself because she wanted him to live, but now that he has lost his beloved, there is no meaning in living anymore.
Ace raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "What do you want? Or rather, what do you want to do?"
Sadler frowned and pondered, "I know a forbidden magic that can bring the dead back to life... Although the success rate is low, as long as there is hope, I will try it without hesitation."
Morrissey looked surprised, his blood-red eyes filled with disbelief.
He knew exactly how old-fashioned white mages were, adhering to the laws of light and rejecting all dark magic.
Yet, at this moment, for a hypothetical question, he actually went against his own beliefs!
The others were surprised when they heard what Sadler said.
Seleu seemed to be lost in thought, Harris hesitated to speak, Hekla was full of admiration, and Siti and Nasha were deeply moved.
Discio and the other little fairies and Amanda are underage, ignorant about love and look confused.
Kumandi was older than them, and had always loved thinking, so he thought more deeply. He took out a small notebook, held a quill, and quickly wrote down his thoughts, drawing a preliminary conclusion.
[Love makes people crazy.]
Shu Li felt emotional.
Morrissey was often overzealous and repeatedly flirted with Sadler, hoping to get a response from him. Little did he know that Sadler had already fallen deeply in love with him, but he just kept it to himself.
"Sadler..." Morrissey excitedly stared at Sadler passionately.
Sadler remained calm, ignoring his affectionate gaze, and asked Ace, "Did my answer pass?"
Ace smiled and said, "Pass."
Sadler took the cards from Morrissey and said, "Let's play again, four of us."
"This..." Shu Li hesitated and looked at others.
Disio waved his hand: "You guys have fun, we're not in a hurry."
"Okay!" Shu Li nodded.
Sadler glanced at Morrissey calmly. Morrissey received his warning and did not play any tricks this time.
He has a fox-like personality. When he gets serious, he fights very skillfully and cooperates seamlessly with Sadler.
"Royal bomb—" Sadler threw all the cards in his hand onto the table and looked sharply at Shu Li and Ace across from him, "You lose."
Shuli Khan.
This game was thrilling.
He had reason to suspect that Sadler did it on purpose!
The purpose is to turn the tables.
Morrissey winked and looked at Shu Li with an evil smile.
Shu Li pursed her lips and waited calmly for the other party to ask questions.
Anyway, if the enemy comes, we will fight him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. If you can’t answer, just show your talent!
"Let me ask Sperian." Morrissey stroked his smooth chin and asked with a turn of his eyes, "Who do you like?"
Shu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Is this throwing the problem back to him?
Hehe, the word "like" can be narrow or broad, it all depends on how people understand it.
"There are so many people I like!" Shu Li counted on her fingers, "Desio, Angel, Budno, Kumandi, Amanda..."
"Stop!" Morrissey gestured to pause. "Don't try to be opportunistic! My question is, who do you love the most?"
Shu Li shrugged. "How is that opportunistic? I was clearly answering seriously. As for the person I love most? That's the second question. I have the right to refuse."
Morrissey was amused by his scoundrel look. "Okay, I'll ask more strictly next time."
Shu Li blinked and decided not to give him another chance.
Next, it was Sadler's turn to ask Ace questions.
"When your lover dies for you, will you choose to commit suicide for love or live alone?"
He asked the same question.
Shu Li sighed.
This is indeed intentional for the prospective partner!
He turned to look at the blond man beside him, waiting for his answer.
Ace stretched out his slender white fingers, elegantly holding a card, and said, "There is no true magic of resurrection in the world. So I choose to reverse time and space and start all over again."
He gently put down the cards and pointed at the king's head on the card with his fingertips.
Sadler and Morrissey were stunned when they heard this answer.
Reverse time and space?
Isn't this more empty than coming back from the dead?
"You're so bold." Morrissey laughed, thinking Ace was just daydreaming.
Facing his mockery, Ace didn't refute and smiled nonchalantly.
Shu Li frowned.
Morrissey thought Ace was joking, but he didn't think so.
Because... he knew who Ace was.
The Elf King possesses power comparable to that of a god, and perhaps he can really reverse time and space.
Sadler accepted Ace's answer and stood up to give his seat to someone else.
Truth or Dare was quite exciting and everyone had a lot of fun. They played until around 10 o'clock in the evening and then reluctantly returned to their rooms.
After everyone else left, only Shu Li and Ace were left in the room.
After tidying up, the two lay down on the bed and prepared to go to sleep.
Shu Li pulled the quilt and saw Ace reaching out to turn off the light. She couldn't help but ask, "Um... if you reverse time and space... will you still have your memories of the past?"
Ace's eyes were filled with tenderness. "What do you think?"
Shu Li lay on her side facing him, thinking for a moment, and said, "I think...either both, or neither. Otherwise, it would be too painful if only one person had the memory."
Ace stared at him intently, his green eyes seemed to be stained with ink, becoming unusually deep.
Shu Li's hair stood on end when he looked at her, and she subconsciously grabbed the corner of the quilt.
After an unknown amount of time, the blond man said softly, "Go to sleep! Good night, Sperian."
He turned off the light and the room went dark.
Shu Li loosened the corner of the quilt, licked his dry lips, and replied: "Good night... Ace..."
Estelle.
A dreamless night.
The next day, Shuli, Ace, Seleu, Siti, and Nasha got up early, went to the restaurant next door to eat, and after talking to other teammates, rented a carriage and headed to the Snow Kingdom Palace.
The Snow Kingdom Palace was on the tenth floor. The carriage went up in a spiral pattern, floor by floor. It seemed to be right in front of us, but it took a whole morning to get there.
It was already noon when we arrived at the palace.
If all goes well, they can have lunch at the palace.
After getting off the carriage, the five people walked towards the palace gate in the biting cold wind.
There were almost no outsiders near the palace, and it was surrounded by patrolling guards. When they saw five strangers wrapped like fur balls approaching, they surrounded them in a well-trained manner.
"Who are you? Why are you here? If you have nothing to do, leave immediately!" The burly captain of the guards blocked the way of the five people with an expressionless face.
Nasha stepped forward and said politely, "Hello, I am Nasha Kailan, the princess of Pedam. I'm looking for my brother, Leon Kailan. Please let him know for me. Thank you very much."
