Isaac lowered his head, took Yun Wei's hand, and guided it to his chest, so that his master could boldly touch the pendant around his neck.
“On my eighteenth birthday, my grandmother gave it to me, instructing me to give it to my future partner. I always thought it was just an exquisite spatial artifact.” Isaac paused, gave Yun Wei a deep look, and continued:
"It wasn't until that day that I realized it was the sealed 'Heart of All Elements'."
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Yun Wei subconsciously curled his fingers.
He lowered his voice and asked, "You mean... this is the 'Heart of the Elements' that Aragorn and his men sealed away after they overthrew the tyrant Luther?"
He still remembered the plot of "Holy Night: Final Chapter," where Alch specifically revealed its whereabouts at the end.
Isaac nodded, but then suddenly said, "May I give it to you, and in return, ask that you stay with me for the rest of my life?"
This question came out of nowhere, and Yun Wei refused repeatedly, saying, "No way!"
Almost the instant his refusal was uttered, he saw a hurt expression in the other person's eyes.
Yun Wei quickly explained, "I'm sorry, Issa, what I mean is, this thing is too valuable, I can't accept it. You know I've already decided to spend my life with you."
At this moment, his index finger was still hooked on the thin silver chain of the pendant. To make it easier for him to see, Isaac leaned forward, and from his angle, the chain on his fingertip looked like a rein.
Yun Wei released his grip as if he had been burned.
“Alright.” Isaac straightened up again, and simply said, “It’s a shame, but I’ll leave it with you for now.”
Yun Wei tried to read Isaac's emotions from his face, but failed. If Isaac wanted to hide his emotions, he could do so flawlessly.
Yun Wei felt a strange sense of unease, but he was quickly distracted by Isaac's next words.
Isaac then said, "However, after learning that this is the 'Heart of All Elements,' I also understood two things."
"First, it is the key to enter the Tower of All Laws. Once the Tower of All Laws is repaired, we can enter it directly without having to go through that strange selection ceremony."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wei's eyes widened.
It's important to know that the Tower of All Magic is the origin of all magic, holding all the secrets of magic. And the 'Heart of All Elements' is actually the key to the Tower of All Magic!
Almost instantly, Yun Wei understood why the Lord of the Abyss coveted the 'Heart of All Elements'.
If the Continent of Primordial Elements is the only plane in the entire star field with infinite possibilities, then the magic and the Branch of Time unique to the Continent of Primordial Elements are the most advanced laws and powers in the entire star field.
The Heart of All Elements is the key to mastering this supreme power!
But Isaac's next words stirred up an even greater storm in his heart—
"The second thing is that my grandmother and the others might still be alive..."
Compared to supreme power, Yun Wei was clearly more concerned about Isaac's family.
He was somewhat puzzled, and asked while carefully choosing his words, "I remember you said that they were banished to the gaps in time by the Lord of Chaos at the very beginning of the invasion."
At this point, Yun Wei stopped talking.
He didn't understand what it meant to be exiled in the gaps of time, and he worried that he might hurt Isaac again by saying something carelessly.
Isaac sighed deeply and replied, "Yes, I thought they were all dead. But it wasn't until that moment that Dragon Island renewed its contract with the Temu Brown family."
"When the invisible power of the contract came, I realized that my grandmother and the others were still living in places I didn't know about."
"Yun, it's hard for me to describe how I feel right now. Because I don't know how to save them..."
"So I think, if one day—I mean if—you can find a way in the boundless wisdom, please help me out of my unwavering loyalty to you."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wei was stunned. When he looked at Isaac, he found that the usually resolute follower had tears in his eyes.
He was about to speak when Isaac interrupted him.
“I’m sorry, Yun, I shouldn’t have made such a capricious request of you. But I was first and foremost a member of the Temu Brown family, and only later became your servant.”
“My life already belongs to you; I have nothing left to pay you back…”
Isaac was still rambling on and on, but Yun Wei couldn't bear to listen anymore.
He stepped forward and hugged his follower tightly.
The sudden action made his ribs ache, but Yun Wei seemed completely unaware.
He interrupted the other person, saying in a hoarse voice, "Isaac, don't underestimate me."
"I love you, so naturally I love your family who love you too. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do it without hesitation!"
“Isaac, I promise.”
"I, Yun Wei, swear to you!"
Yun Wei spoke with utmost solemnity and conviction.
He was somewhat angry, so he shouted Isaac's full name to express his displeasure. What did Isaac possibly think of him...?
Yes, he is indeed rather cold-blooded and lazy; his motto in life is "better to avoid trouble than cause trouble."
But Isaac's situation clearly doesn't fall into this category!
How insecure must the other person be to have such thoughts?
Yun Wei couldn't help but reflect on whether he had been too dishonest with Isaac, which led the other party to have such thoughts.
At this moment, he was filled with anger and frustration, a mix of emotions, but he simply continued to hold his follower tightly.
Little did he know that no sages on the Zhuyuan Continent had ever advocated moral concepts such as loyalty and filial piety, and the people here did not have the family values that seemed to be ingrained in his bones in his previous life.
Here, adultery, assassination, and illegitimate children are as commonplace as drinking water. Husbands and wives are suspicious of each other, and clan leaders and their children often quarrel.
The nobles were already scheming against each other, and behind every glamorous family, filthy wigs and masks were already crawling with fleas and bedbugs.
The primitive inheritance law of the early stages of feudal society destined people of that era to unleash almost insatiable greed under the drive and impetus of self-interest.
Therefore, the loyal Temubranche family is actually an anomaly among anomalies.
Isaac was stunned.
He was somewhat at a loss after being suddenly hugged by Yun Wei.
Through the invisible bond between them, he seemed to know that his master was angry. But he also vaguely knew that the other's anger was not the kind of anger that wanted to punish him.
This left him somewhat confused and bewildered.
He tentatively hugged Yun Wei back, and seeing that the other didn't object, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he belatedly realize that it seemed like just moments ago—
Yun Wei seemed to say something to him...
I love you? !
