"This story does sound absurd." The old man said lightly.

"Sometimes the truth is farther and the story is even more absurd," the man said meaningfully, "but fortunately, no one in this world can stop a magician from pursuing the truth."

"If I remember correctly, this sentence seems to be said by Roland. Don't you think it's a bit ironic?"

The man shook his head, "I have no intention and no right to comment on the merits and demerits of my predecessors. Under the circumstances, I am more concerned about how a person can deceive the God of Time and obtain eternal life with the body of a mortal." Speaking of this, his face, which had always been calm, could not help but a hint of fanaticism.

No one can resist the temptation of eternal life. The bravest person will also fear the destined death and the cold nothingness. This is a fate that all creatures in the Dawn Continent cannot escape. Death is the most equal thing in the world. It chases everyone, from kings to beggars, and when that day comes, no one can escape.

Until that man appeared, he quietly erased his name from the gears of fate.

"I finally understand why the two people parted ways at the end of the story, because Roland has been thinking about how to help mankind win that war, and the other person is concerned about how to make themselves immortal from the beginning. From the beginning, they were not the same person. Even though they had been walking side by side for a while, they were just taking their own needs. That person led Roland into the door and used the latter's intelligence to help him overcome the problem of magic. Roland also used this rare opportunity to touch the door of magic. This is why the Saint Laurent Brothers Magic Academy did not participate in two magic wars. Compared with immortality, race and feelings are too small."

"But you also said that this is just a story after all." Claire looked up after a while of silence.

"Yes, but this story has indeed aroused my interest. Although it sounds so crazy, I still can't control myself from thinking about it. Because the possibility it contains is so exciting, so I did a lot of investigations. The more I checked, the more I was more frightened. All signs indicate that there was a ghost hovering in Guderisk. In fact, it is not just here, but the entire south, the human world, and even the dawn continent are full of traces. He hid in the shadow of history. It seems that he has never existed, but it is everywhere."

"But you have no substantial evidence to prove that the person is real, so all this is probably just a fantasy in your mind." The old man said mercilessly, "After all, it is because you are too afraid of death. In my opinion, all this is just a coward's self-deception."

This time it was the man's turn to fall into silence. He unexpectedly did not refute Claire, but nodded instead, "You are right. In fact, since this idea appeared in my mind, I have always doubted whether I have gone crazy. Even though the Heresy Judgment later told me that my guess was not wrong, I still couldn't stop questioning all of this. I even began to doubt whether all this would be the trick of the Heresy Judgment, in order to let me cooperate with them to catch the person they want to catch."

"You still choose to cooperate with them even though you know this?"

"Because I have no other choice." The man sighed, "I have been looking for an answer for so many years, and now it's almost time to solve the mystery."

"What are you going to do?" Claire's expression on his face was still very calm until this moment, which made the man involuntarily feel a little admiration.

The man snapped his fingers and the white space gradually became transparent. Claire could see the strong wind and yellow sand outside the space. The square area they were now floating in the square of a small sand dune. Less than fifty meters away from them, there were several low-level magicians who were working hard to repair a broken magic circle. They seemed to ignore the sudden appearance of this transparent hut.

"Space hidden? Visual interference? So you are already so strong in the magic circle?"

"This little trick and the magical appearance that can touch the essence of life are just small tricks." The man said modestly, and then introduced the current situation to Claire. "We are now in the freshman competition field in Bantum Town. The teleportation array on the third and fourth floors has been destroyed by me. As you can see, although the magicians below are working hard to repair this teleportation array, I can assure you that with me, this teleportation array cannot be repaired anyway, so we still have about two months, but to be safe, I will shorten this time to fifteen days. No matter whether I can get what I want within fifteen days, I will leave here. So strictly speaking, what happens in the future will only affect your destiny, and I hope you can make a careful choice."

“What to choose?”

"It's very simple. After the communication just now, I believe that you should have a preliminary understanding of your own environment. I believe that even in such a dangerous situation, you will definitely have the means to contact the outside world, so I hope you can send me a message to that person-if I still don't get what I want in fifteen days, then I'm sorry, I may have to choose to kill you."

"I know what you are thinking, but unfortunately you made the wrong idea. Do you think I can coerce him if I catch it?"

"As I said before, I have done a lot of homework over the years, and I know you are his student, friend, follower, former lover..."

But Claire interrupted the other party directly, "Have you ever raised a rabbit?"

"Oh? What does that mean."

"If you have raised a rabbit, you will know that a rabbit has a lifespan of only seven to twelve years. Compared to humans, their lives are too short. For rabbits, it is likely that there is only one owner in this life, so the owner is its whole world. However, for rabbits, the rabbit in front of them is just one of many rabbits he has raised."

The man's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Is that story true?"

"Whether it is true or fake, what's the difference? Have you ever thought about a question: If a person really exists after such a long time, how much human nature can remain in his body? In his eyes, the whole world is just a super-large toy. You wouldn't really think that using my life can help you get the secret of eternal life, right?"
