"Master Wizard, are we leaving now?"

"No, wait a little longer..."

[The good times are over]

[The warm sun no longer exists, the bright full moon disappears, the black sun and the blood moon once again hang high in the sky, spreading celestial terror equally]

[The slime on the top of the mountain disintegrated on its own, eroded and annihilated by the breath of death]

[The weeds in the brick seams withered and turned dark yellow, losing their tenacious vitality]

[The world is quiet and noisy]

[The seemingly silent world actually echoes with the sorrow of heaven and earth, accompanied by the crisp sound of crackling]

[You secretly observed that the endless underworld is eating the wizard world]

[It’s time to leave]

[The time node you have been waiting for has arrived]

[The world returns to silence, and the shocking impact is perfectly absorbed by the mountain. With the help of the mountain under your feet, you have avoided a wave of world shock.]

[This moment is the time you planned to leave]

[But in response to Sylvia's question, you shook your head and looked towards the village.]

[There, two souls are about to wither, with their faint breaths, hanging on to the last breath of their old bodies]

[Following your gaze, the undead girl vaguely understood something, and her eyes became dim.]

"Master Wizard, can't we do something..."

"Severia, they are very happy and joyful, so all we can do is to wish them the best."

Xu Xi looked at the world outside the mountain.

It was so quiet that it felt as if nothing existed.

Only heavy darkness continues to spread.

…

You decide to stay longer on the mountain.

[On the first day of your stay, Mr. and Mrs. Hansen walked slowly and brought you a lot of melons and vegetables]

You stand at the door

[Still the same as before, smiling and accepting the old man’s gift]

[The brave man stands beside you, forcing a smile to hide the sadness in his heart]

"Thank you, Master Wizard."

"Thank you too, Miss Sylvia."

The two old men smiled at the same time, a pure and happy smile.

Many gifts were sent.

Instead, he thanked Xu Xi.

Thanks to Xu Xi and Sylvia, they appeared in their last moments of life, bringing a brief and precious companionship.

Xu Xi took the vegetables from the old man and felt that they were a little heavy.

…

[On the second day of our stay, Mr. and Mrs. Hansen once again brought us a lot of melons and vegetables]

【They are very tired】

[The face turns a little pale]

[Life is almost gone]

[You once again accepted the gifts from the two old people. They smiled happily and brilliantly. Their wrinkled faces, which were full of traces of time, relaxed in front of you.]

…

[On the third day of your stay, you waited at the door as usual, together with Sylvia, quietly waiting for the arrival of the two old people]

【Autumn goes and winter comes】

【Winter comes quietly】

[In the light breeze, snowflakes fell all over the mountains. They were not the holy white color, but the gray tone that symbolized despair and tragedy.]

[You breathe in the snow and feel the bone-chilling cold]

[You understand, there is no need to wait]

call--!!

The cold wind rushed into my nose.

As Xu Xi walked out of the workshop, a chill continued to rush into his lungs, swirling around and turning into white mist before being exhaled.

The dark sun hangs high.

Everything was submerged in the snow.

"Master Wizard, should we continue to wait?"

"No, Sylvia, it's our turn this time."

Xu Xi stared at the cold world, and finally walked towards the village.

The brave Sylvia followed behind him, and together they walked through the narrow path and stepped on the shallow snow until they stopped in front of a simple hut.

Low.

shabby.

The wall is uneven and has many traces of repairs.

The wooden door of the house was wide open, and wind and snow kept pouring in, making the door rattle.

In the past, someone would make repairs over and over again.

From now on, there will be no one anymore.

In front of the door of the wooden house, two chairs were placed neatly and very close to each other.

It is made of rough wood, half slanted and half crooked, as if it was built by someone with poor craftsmanship, and is just the right size for people to rest on.

Xu Xi watched.

The two faces with ravines all over them are like pieces of paper crumpled by time, showing the sedimentation of years, and at this moment they are smiling peacefully.

Holding hands.

Lying down in close proximity.

His face was frozen by the low temperature and his body was covered with a thin layer of snow.

The spark of life has been extinguished, there will be no more ups and downs, no more beats.

Except Xu Xi and Sevilla.

No one will care.

In a corner of the world on the verge of extinction, two elderly people passed away peacefully. No one would know how happy their expressions were when they left.

"..."

"..."

In the coldness and silence of winter.

Xu Xi raised his hand and used elemental magic to dig out a large grave in the open space in front of the house.

Then wrap it gently with the power of the soul.

Together they wrapped the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Hansen.

Let them still hold hands and be buried peacefully in the grave.

"Good night."

Xu Xi said goodbye softly. He stood in the wind and snow, and once again manipulated the elemental magic to slowly fill up the empty grave.

That's why he stayed.

In a despairing and deserted world.

The two elderly people who passed away could only leave their bodies exposed, and no one else would help bury them.

Xu had a good impression of the Hansens and did not want to see such a scene, so before leaving, he let the old man rest in peace.

The snowstorm is still spreading.

In the vast white world, two tombstones were quietly formed.

"Good night, Grandpa Hansen."

"Good night, Grandma Mina."

There is sadness in those deep green eyes.

Sylvia squatted down and gently touched the surface of the stone tablet, feeling the rough texture and the names of the two old men engraved in relief.

The strong wind roared like a beast, but the silence in my heart isolated everything.

This is not the first time the girl has faced separation.

She is very strong.

Be able to endure the pain of separation.

But being able to endure separation doesn't mean that you like separation. Sylvia looked up at Xu Xi with a blank tone:

"Master Wizard."

"Does everyone who dies go to the underworld?"

Xu Xi nodded: "The underworld is the final resting place of all souls. Souls with strong consciousness and unfulfilled wishes will become undead under the influence of the laws of the underworld."

"The souls that died in the undead state and the pure souls will wait for rebirth together."

The Hansens are happy.

Died without regrets.

This kind of soul is the purest and will directly enter the endless underworld of reincarnation without having to suffer the distortion of becoming a dead spirit.

After knowing this, Sylvia crossed her hands and clenched them tightly, speaking silently to the tombstones of the two old men.

Trembling.

Blessing.

I hope the Hansens have a happy next life.

After doing all this, she turned to face Xu Xi with a broken and forced smile: "Sorry, Master Wizard, I seem to have wasted too much time."

"I should have been stronger, but I didn't do that at all."

"I was so immature."

“I’m so sorry…”

"It was obviously a good thing. Grandpa Hansen and Grandma Mina were smiling so happily, but I felt sad."

The hollow skeleton tried its best to smile, its eyebrows were slightly curved, but what was revealed was a gleam of crystal tears.
