Rhodes was unmoved, and Yorick could only sigh.

Yorick didn't know how long he had been living on the Shadow Isle—he'd seen several people like Rhodes who came looking for the dead.

Some people are lost, some people die in the fog.

In the Shadow Isles, which are covered with black fog all year round, the sky is gray even during the hottest time of the year.

In this case, Yorick has long lost his sense of time.

But then again, Yorick doesn't need to judge the time - he's essentially an undead now.

When the curse of the Ruined King erupted, Yorick was also on Shadow Island, where he was the corpse collector and gravedigger of Fuguang at the time.

Realizing Yorick's pity and sympathy for him, Rod couldn't help but shake his head, Yorick didn't know Rode, but Rod knew Yorick very well.

……………………

Yorick was a natural yin-yang eye, and from a young age, he was able to see the souls of the dead.

At first, Yorick was terrified of his abilities, and humans were always afraid of the unknown - but as Yorick emboldened to communicate with the spirits of the dead, he gradually began to understand.

The souls didn't want to hurt Yorick, they were just lost and needed help to find their way to the other side.

Because Yorick is the only one who can see these spirits, he takes the initiative to take on the role of a guide, accompanying them on their last journey to face the fate that awaits them on the other side of eternity.

The mission was a mixed blessing – as Yorick found himself enjoying the company of ghosts, but every time he sent a friend off to his resting place, it meant goodbye.

But Yorick never stopped, he knew very well that it was a natural rule for the dead to go to the realm of death, and he would never stop his work because of personal feelings.

It's a different kind of sacredness.

No one asked Yorik to do so, but Yorick insisted - even after the curse erupted, the former Isle of Fuguang had become the current Isle of Shadows.

The crystal bottle on Yorick's chest may be the last legacy of Fukumitsu Island, which has helped him maintain his consciousness and save him from becoming the walking dead or Maude Caesar's minions.

To this day, Yorick still advises those who have lost their way not to make it to the Shadow Isle.

The long silence had made Yorick almost speechless, but those two words of exhortation were forever ripe.

In the eyes of many, Yorick is an out-and-out fool who is sticking to a rewarding job trying to fight against a goal that he will never be able to contend with.

But for Yorick, Rhodes was respectful enough.

Such fools can not understand and can not do it themselves, but never laugh at it.

……………………

Yorick doesn't speak much anymore - but fortunately he has no hearing problems, and Rhodes has the patience to tell him about his goals.

Yorick looked up in surprise when he heard that Rhodes was going to cleanse the Isle of Shadows—a rare glint in the soul shepherd's cloudy eyes.

"Really...... Is it? ”

"I promise." Rhodes took off his hood, revealing his gray hair, "I need the Life Essence - if I don't purify the Shadow Isle, I'm afraid I'll never find it." ”

Nodding, Yorick believed Rod's statement, because in his memory, there were many people who had lost a lot of life force for various reasons and came to Fuguang Island to pray for the essence of life.

Those people are all going to be tested by Fukumitsu Island - and now that Fukumitsu Island is only himself, Yorick feels that he can use the "purification of Fukuko Island" as a test.

In order to show his kindness, Yorick struggled to squeeze out a smile, but this "smile" looked a little stiff and hideous, and Zoe even had a disgusted expression on her face.

However, Yorick did not care, and instead raised his shovel with some excitement.

The next moment, countless staggering corpses crawled out of the tomb.

"Let's go...... Let's go ......"

Seeing Yorick resurrect a large number of corpses, Lucian suddenly became nervous.

This means...... It looks a little wicked.

But Rhodes is well aware that this is not the case.

The outbreak of the Curse of the Ruined King turns Yorick into the undead and Fuguang Island into the Isle of Shadows—when Yorick is so drowsed in grief that he begins to speak to the spirits around him, hoping to find solace as he did when he was a child.

Unexpectedly, whenever Yorick communicates with the fog around him, a corpse crawls out of the grave and follows his voice.

At that time, Yorick finally realized that the corpses that had been buried by him were now obeying his orders.

"In order to end the curse, he had to use the curse." Rhodes leaned over to Lucian's side and explained in a low voice, "It's also a frustration. ”

Lucian was noncommittal about Rhodes' explanation, and Yorick did not look back.

In this way, under the leadership of Yorick, the group walked deep and shallow towards the depths of the Shadow Island.

What everyone didn't know was that behind a tree not far away, a beam of gaze pierced through the black mist and landed on Rod's body.

"Very well, let me see what you can do......"
