Upon hearing this answer, Yun Wei was indeed momentarily speechless.
But then he thought again, and realized that Sid wasn't one to make a mountain out of a molehill, so he asked, "What caused this? You two were so loving before, please tell me the whole story."
Sid sighed, "Actually, it's mainly my fault, or rather, I'm taking my anger out on others..."
The situation is like this, and it can't be said that it has nothing to do with Yunwei—
Nearly a month ago, Yun Wei activated a forbidden spell in Moonflower City, and six Abyss Apostles nourished Orx, ultimately causing the world to evolve.
Almost all living beings in the world have received this miraculous blessing.
Except for one person.
Apart from the Grand Duke of Bethlehem, Silver Julius.
Because of the poison he suffered in his early years, his Time Branch withered and decayed, forever stuck at the second tier, completely unable to resonate with the outside world. This sense of loss was obvious, because he was even inferior to a six-year-old child.
However, Silver hid his emotions very well.
At that time, Master Sid was immersed in grief over Yunwei's death and did not notice his partner's deliberate concealment.
“It was under these circumstances that he suddenly tested me.” Sid sighed helplessly. “Now that I think about it, he didn’t mean to doubt me; he just wanted to get some care from me.”
“But back then, how could I have known any of this? I was furious, so I sneered at him and said, ‘Ha, are you planning to follow in your master’s footsteps? Excellent, Julius, are you also planning to force me to my death!’” Sid stopped there.
Words spoken are not like water spilled on the ground.
The latter can evaporate naturally, but the words from a loved one are the sharpest swords.
In fact, he said many more outrageous things at the time, but he didn't want Yun Wei to know.
Having grown up in the Liujin family, he naturally knew how despicable the methods of nobles could be.
At that time, he had already assumed Isaac was the worst possible person.
However, in retrospect, perhaps he was indeed overthinking it.
Even so, upon hearing this, Yun Wei was so ashamed that he could hardly lift his head.
“I’m sorry, Sid,” he could only apologize repeatedly. “I was completely absorbed in my own world at the time…”
His world was too small, only big enough for Isaac.
At that time, all his energy was drained by the black hole in his heart, and he didn't think about his friends who had always cared about him.
He was really, really ashamed.
“This isn’t your problem.” Sid shook his head and sighed. “I’m just really sad. I feel like I haven’t invested enough in Silver.”
"Actually, I've always felt that although love is wonderful, I can live without it."
"But now I know that all I have left is to live, like an alchemical puppet."
Yun Wei opened his mouth, wanting to offer some words of comfort, but he didn't know how to begin.
Because Sid and Silver were clearly in love.
“You don’t need to say anything more, Xiao Yunwei.” But Sid interrupted him, the other man seemed to have made up his mind, his emerald-like eyes shining brightly, “I naturally understand the reasons, I will talk to him properly.”
“Hmm.” Yun Wei nodded silently, but couldn’t help adding, “You must tell the other person your true thoughts in time. This is a lesson I learned the hard way. Speaking of which, Isaac and I were the same way before…”
“He’s always like that, doing too much and saying too little—but if he doesn’t say it, how would I know? Misunderstandings don’t just resolve themselves; they just take root and grow, making the conflict between us more and more serious.”
As he talked to himself, he was reflecting deeply in his heart again, when he saw Sid laugh.
"You really love Isaac, don't you?" The other person said, and seeing that he was stunned, finally stopped teasing him.
"I've learned a lot, Teacher Yunwei," Sid concluded.
Yun Wei was instantly embarrassed and quickly squatted down to help the other person tidy up the messy study. "By the way, let me tell you about what happened after we left Alchemy City..."
He had no reason to hide anything.
Sid was both his dearest friend and his most respected teacher on the continent of Zhuyuan.
This master was erudite and had his own principles and insights, making it very comfortable for the two of them to get along.
When he had nothing, the other party had already selflessly accepted and taken him in, and taught him countless knowledge that could not be measured by wealth.
This is a debt of gratitude that Yun Wei can never repay.
Then he recounted the Black Army and corpses outside Moonflower City, the mad God of Light and the devout minor bishop...
The girl did not turn into bubbles, and the conflict finally turned into peace.
He recounted the Tower of All Laws and the Prison of Time, the naive Oakes and the wise Queen Catherine...
The incomplete laws are gradually being perfected, and the great emperor from eight hundred years ago is once again ruling as regent.
“Wait a minute.” Sid suddenly interrupted him, a bright light reflecting off the other’s glasses. “Tell me more about Oakes’ research. To be honest, I might be able to find some solutions from it.”
How to save her husband.
The opponent's Time Branch shouldn't be so weak.
Now that the concepts of "potions" and "medicine" were in place, the alchemist believed he had the ability to forge an unprecedented path from them.
Almost instantly, Yun Wei also understood this point.
He admired Sid's keen insight and patiently described Sid's notes and Mr. Feller's equipment in great detail.
In the end, he even took out the book "The Wise Man's Sayings" from his spatial storage and handed it to Sid.
“This is the key to the Tower of All Laws. I hope it can help you.” He smiled and dispelled the other’s doubts. “Isa has another key around his neck. I was already qualified to enter the Tower of All Laws, so I don’t need this one.”
Upon hearing this, Sid finally accepted the heavy ancient book, his expression still complex. "Little Yunwei, I don't know what to say to you..."
"Then let's not talk about it." Yun Wei raised his head and smiled sincerely.
Sid adjusted his glasses and finally smiled demurely as well.
The daylight streamed into the study, dispelling the melancholy of winter. It was at this moment that Yun Wei suddenly noticed the other person's crumpled manuscript.
The device depicted above is quite complex, resembling a modular catapult, and is undoubtedly a relic from the First Dynasty.
Coincidentally, he had seen this in the book "On Gods".
Or perhaps, he himself had actually seen this before.
"What, you know about this?" Seeing the draft spread out in Yun Wei's hand, Sid couldn't help but rub his temples. "This was found by Dean Victor and the others underground in the ruins of Red Moon City. I originally thought it was a siege weapon, but I later dismissed that idea."
"because--"
He was about to explain his reasons when Yun Wei interrupted him.
“I know this. It’s recorded in the ‘Spiritual Treatise’.” Yun Wei couldn’t help but sigh. “This is the ‘Saint Andean Slingshot.’ Alch used this to fly out of this star system.”
He himself was the "counterweight" on the other side of the slingshot, and that's how he flew in.
Sid blinked involuntarily. "The Alch you're talking about, is he the one who wrote 'The Collection of Love Poems'? I think I know his conclusions about magicians and bedrooms..."
Yun Wei then remembered that, because of Alkh's previous instructions, he had not explained Alkh's entanglement with the Lord of the Abyss to others.
He sighed again, "This is a long story, it all started on the Holy Night a thousand years ago..."
This is a story spanning billions of years and endless time and space, and watched by thousands of gods.
Yun Wei thought to himself that perhaps he should write the whole thing into an epic, so that he wouldn't have to talk until his throat was dry every time.
By the way, so far, he has only told Isaac this story.
The other party finally got what he wanted and heard the story he told only to him.
"Knock knock!"
Just then, there was a knock on the study door.
Yun Wei, who was closer to the door, went to answer it. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his knight's handsome face.
Unexpectedly, the other person grabbed his wrist and said, "Come on, let's go back to the room. I have something to tell you."
"Huh?" Yun Wei couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Logically speaking, Isaac wouldn't be so reckless unless it was intentional.
As he leaned his upper body out of the door, he saw the Grand Duke of Bethlehem waiting outside.
The other person was indeed exceptionally haggard, yet stood ramrod straight, like a birch tree in winter, an indestructible guardian.
Seeing that he was looking over, Silver gave a standard aristocratic bow.
Yun Wei immediately stopped talking and silently gave the other person a "good luck" gesture.
