Yun and Wei set off amidst Koro's extremely reluctant gaze.
Before leaving, Yun Wei promised his clever and loyal servant, "Don't worry, Village Chief Koro, we'll only be gone for a week. We'll definitely be back before the heavy snow falls. If you encounter any problems you can't handle, go to Mr. Robert in Noyce."
Koro replied, "Rest assured, sir, I will certainly prepare the farmland according to your plan. If there is any other service we may provide, please do so."
Yun Wei waved his hand, "Once you're done, take a good rest. However, I've already cleaned up the mine pit. If you really can't stay idle, you can take some planks to reinforce the tunnel."
Don't misunderstand, he certainly wouldn't personally go down into the rocky underground.
Now that the undead plane has reappeared, as the owner of "The Words of the Dead," he can certainly command an endless army of skeletons.
Those skeletons that acted exactly as he wished were more useful than the most advanced puppets in the world.
...
To travel from the Continent of Elements to the far northern wilderness, one must pass through the "Gate of the Wilderness".
It was an ancient stone gate completed during the First Dynasty, about ten meters wide and more than twenty meters high, completely sealing the only remaining opening on the continuous "Wall of the Unpermitted".
Yun Wei stood before the magnificent stone steps, carefully examining the ruins belonging to the First Dynasty. He said to Isaac, "The people back then were truly gifted; they actually managed to come up with a way to travel through time by paying with their own magic."
Instead of the current teleportation arrays, which require you to stupidly stuff magic crystals into the slots around them and spend an exorbitant amount of gold for each teleportation.
Isaac nodded. "Not only that, the stone used to build this door is also quite special. It's emerald from Troy. You see, its patterns are like layers of clouds. Once it's attacked, it will deflect the force to the surroundings, making it difficult to be damaged by humans."
After listening, Yun Wei couldn't help but ask curiously, "How could such a large piece of stone be transported across half the continent to this place?"
Even in his undead space, it was difficult to accommodate such a large amount of stone.
Perhaps only the Heart of All Elements on Isaac's chest could have accomplished that.
Isaac shook his head. "In fact, we can't mine it anymore. Every Duke of Terry has lamented the abandoned quarry outside his window."
After listening, Yun Wei felt that he had gained new insights once again.
He silently recorded what he had just seen and heard in his notebook.
The two did not linger in front of the gate for long; they quickly passed through the stone gate and arrived at the "One Line Sky" behind it.
To be honest, this narrow passage, which can only accommodate a maximum of three people side by side, is actually a very oppressive place.
It was deep and dark, with no end in sight, and eerily silent.
Yun Wei looked up at the narrow beam of light high above and murmured, "Isa, are you afraid?"
Even though he deliberately lowered his voice, there seemed to be a very faint echo coming from afar, which was truly eerie.
Isaac was puzzled. He turned to look at his lover beside him and asked in confusion, "Why should I be afraid?"
Yun Wei immediately raised both palms and made a gesture of encirclement.
Because he was going on an adventure, he specially changed into the attire of the Alchemy City, which made him move more freely. "Aren't you afraid that the stone walls on both sides will suddenly close in?"
Yun Wei was just saying it casually.
Walking through this seemingly endless crevice, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous and needed to say something to bolster his courage.
Even though he is very powerful now, he still has a natural awe for nature. His hometown is prone to earthquakes, and one early summer, due to an extremely severe disaster, classes were suspended for more than a week.
Unexpectedly, Isaac actually started to think about it seriously.
The other party said, "My current strength is equal to yours, but because of this pendant, I have barely reached the initial stage of the tenth level."
"If the two stone walls suddenly close together, I can hold them up for at least half an hour with all my might, which is definitely more durable than a sudden tremor."
"Then we were essentially trapped in a low crevice. Thanks to magic and the supplies we carried, we couldn't possibly starve to death; it just would take some time to dig our way out."
"The excavated gravel can be stored in the Heart of All Elements, but I think the biggest difficulty is how to determine direction..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wei was completely speechless, but suddenly extended his hand to the other party.
Seeing his lover's actions, Isaac naturally fell silent.
The soldier, still completely immersed in what he thought was a romantic scene, was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. "What, you're finally willing to accept my gift again?"
Yun Wei was also stunned.
Seeing that the other person was actually starting to untie the knot around his neck, he abruptly withdrew his hand, put on a stern face, and walked forward.
He's really gone mad. Yun Wei thought to himself.
He reached out his hand because he really wanted to be led by the other person.
In the dim light, when he saw the other person's unusually serious expression, he suddenly became distracted.
He longed to intertwine his fingers with the other person's, even if they said nothing, just to walk together through this unfamiliar, narrow path.
Stupid Issa.
The clueless Issa.
Yun Wei couldn't help but curse inwardly.
He couldn't understand why he was so anxious at that moment.
In fact, he was increasingly unable to understand himself.
He had thought that being able to return to Isaac's side would leave him with no regrets. But the reality was quite the opposite, contrary to his wishful thinking.
The other person's body temperature and scent, once combined with past memories, become the most deadly poison in the world.
Even a tiny bit of it can be fatal.
But he was hopelessly immersed in it almost every night.
By the time he realized it, the poison had already seeped into his bones, making him addicted and possessed.
Every cell in his body seemed to have betrayed him.
In that tacit, unspoken gamble, his defeat was already predetermined.
Hearing the sound of someone hurriedly catching up behind him, Yun Wei couldn't help but quicken his pace, thinking that this would allow him to put these chaotic thoughts to the back of his mind.
But the mage's frail body once again held him back.
However, after only a few breaths, he was captured by Isaac.
The other person stood behind him, their two strong hands gripping his wrists.
Yun Wei could feel the force coming from below his cervical spine; it was Isaac's head, which was pressing against the back of his neck.
The fuzzy top of my hair was sticky, and even through the fabric of the vest, the itch still reached my heart.
"I'm sorry. Yun, I'm sorry."
He heard the other person repeat in a low voice, and the warmth of their palm easily penetrated his skin again, making his heart pound like a drum.
Yun Wei's expression was inscrutable, and he said in a hoarse voice, "You don't need to apologize. I just wanted to hold your hand."
Thinking of my virtuous friend, though the mountains are barren and the waters are dry, I will uphold propriety and guard against evil.
Unable to bear the shame, I drank poison to quench my thirst; I spoke of him and then planned to deal with him gradually.
Isaac paused for a second, then asked again, "So, which one do you want to walk? Left or right?"
As the other person spoke, they exerted some force with their left and right hands respectively.
The force was clearly not strong, but unfortunately it became the last straw that broke Yun Wei's back.
"Isaac!" Yun Wei, unable to contain himself any longer, growled through gritted teeth.
Are you stupid?!
"What I want is for you to hug me!"
