"There is no need to think about my problems anymore. I have already accepted my fate. If you could come earlier...forget it, I would be lucky enough to find a human to talk to at the end of my life." Reeves sighed softly. With a sound, Angel's eyes looked dim.
If Angel could come earlier, maybe he could use some means to take over his body. But now, it's too late. His own body, he knew very well, had entered the final stage of assimilation, and even if a legendary wizard came, there would be no way to save it.
Perhaps only those great beings who create miracles can turn decay into magic. However, with his humble status, how could he make those miracle people look at him differently?
So, Reeves has resigned himself to his fate.
Hearing Reeves' long sigh, Angel's heart felt a little heavy. He could see some negative thoughts hidden in Reeves' eyes, but he also understood that Reeves was telling the truth now.
Angel understands the sorrow and evil of human nature very well, so he doesn't think Reeves' dark thoughts are a big deal. He would have the same thoughts.
At least for now, Reeves has suppressed his wandering thoughts. He is not like some madman who knows that he will die but will drag the whole world to be buried with him. From this perspective, Reeves was once estimated to be a rational white wizard.
After being sad for a moment, Reeves returned to rationality. His life energy kept passing by with the green light mist, and he had no time to waste in sad emotions.
"Don't you want to know the secret of this ruins and what I experienced here? I can tell you, but before that, I hope you can agree to a condition." After finishing speaking, Reeves looked at An When Geer saw that he didn't mean to ask according to his words, Reeves was not annoyed and said proactively: "Don't worry, this is just a small request."
"I hope that after you leave here, you can help me send a message to someone. This message will not contain important information and will not affect you. You can even remain anonymous."
"It's not a blackmail or a deal, it's a request that won't be bound by any rules... Because I don't think you have a chance to leave here, but there is still some hope after all, so I still want to try."
After all, Angel and Reeves are strangers, so when Reeves proposed conditions, Angel was very wary, even if he wanted to get news from the other party.
However, Reeves' words were very sincere and eliminated many possible hidden dangers, so Angel thought about it and nodded: "What message do you want to convey? To whom?"
"A farewell letter, which can be regarded as my last words. To a councilor in the City of Truth, Adelaya."
Angel: "It seems that Ms. Black Lord is very important to you."
Reeves nodded with a sad look: "She...is very important to me."
Reeves did not say anything about Adelaia's relationship with him, but Angel could detect some clues from the emotions emanating from him. Perhaps, Reeves and the member of the True Knowledge Council had a beautiful memory?
"Okay, if I can leave here, I will inform her." Angel agreed: "Apart from her, is there no one else you want to subpoena? For example, the Versailles family?"
A complex emotion flashed through Reeves's eyes, including regret and helplessness, anger and bitterness. Finally, he said with a bitter voice: "If you really go out, if you have time, send them a message about my death." That’s fine. If you don’t have time, it doesn’t matter…”
Angel didn't know what Reeves was thinking at this moment. Perhaps he felt guilty for not realizing the glory of his family, or he was resentful that he had lost his freedom, shouldered the burden of his family all his life, and ended up like this.
But no matter which one it is, it will dissipate with Reeves' death.
"I will find a way to tell the Versailles family. Now it's your turn to tell me, what secrets does this ruins hide?"
…
An hour later, Angel looked at Reeves in front of him. He had completely changed his appearance.
Previously, although most of his body had been assimilated with mushrooms, it could be seen from the parts that had never been assimilated that Reeves was a rather handsome young man.
But now, almost all the energy in Reeves' body has been sucked dry by the Miying larvae, and now only a skin is left.
"...Thank you." Reeves could no longer see Angel's figure, and the last words he spoke were almost just the sound of the breeze, but he still tried his best to express his final thoughts: "I hope you... can leave. Hell, smell the peace.”
Angel took a deep look at Reeves and said, "...that's also my wish."
When the words fell, the last remaining fire of Reeves' life burned out, and he finally closed his eyes.
As a burst of flames burned, the huge mushroom in front of him began to slowly turn into sparks and disappear, and finally turned into ashes with the unique aroma of fungi.
Fire wizards often say: Fire is my destiny. Even if the whole world is burned down, I will be reborn in the raging fire.
Maybe a fire wizard who has found the truth can do this, but to ordinary wizards, this is just a joke.
Reeves disappeared with the flames and died completely.
Angel did not choose to leave, but quietly looked at the pile of ashes still filled with bright green mist.
Not long after, a spiritual body emitting a faint light slowly emerged from the ashes.
This spirit is a newly born undead, and is undoubtedly the soul of Reeves.
Angel did not leave, but chose to wait here because he wanted to see what would happen to the souls who died under the mist. Is it true that, as Reeves said, it is impossible to save?
Angel waited for the complete form of this undead spirit.
It took about a minute for the undead to finally condense into its human form. When looking at the humanoid soul in front of him, Angel's expression was slightly strange.
Generally speaking, the shape of the soul is what it looked like before death. Occasionally, there will be some changes due to the influence of some strong will: for example, before an old man dies, because he has a strong yearning for what he looked like when he was young, this will affect the soul. After the condensation, it is very possible that a young-looking soul will appear in the end.
But no matter what, the soul must still be a person in the end.
But now Reeves' soul is a little strange. It looks like a human, but there are several mushrooms growing on his body.
For example, there is a huge green mushroom on top of his head, which looks like he is wearing a cuckold. There are also two mushrooms on his chest. There is also a mushroom growing on the back of the left hand.
Moreover, although his soul was successfully condensed, the spirit body was still surging, like there were more mushrooms lurking in the spirit body, trying to break through the restrictions and grow again.
