After passing through the portal, Chu Feiyue came to a room that she had never been to before. A single bed with yellowed sheets, the army-green quilt was piled up haphazardly on the bed, and on the side of the bed was a desk about two arms long, and a large book with a thickness comparable to that of a Chinese dictionary was spread out on the desk, and a snow-white quill was thrown on the page, and the ink oozing from the tip of the nose soaked the center of the page into a pitch-black mass - the person who was reading the book at that time must have left in a hurry.

Next to the desk, several disc-shaped magic arrays are suspended in the air, and they are full of magic reference books, and if you don't look closely, you will even think that this is a pillar on the ground that can hold books.

Other than that, there is nothing left of the room left with a wardrobe and a floor-to-ceiling mirror. This simple and excessively large room is the residence of the head of the Magician Guild of the Holy Sky Empire...

When Chu Feiyue came over, he saw that the old man Dick threw the Cuppie in his hand into the corner of the wall, and then panicked and grabbed the big book that was spread out on the desk, took the quill away from the book, and then looked distressed to death, constantly blowing the pages that had been wet and blackened with ink.

"Oh no, no, no, no, ......," he repeated.

But the book had been soiled, and unless time was turned back, it was impossible for Old Dick to get it clean again. After a while, Old Man Dick gave up the pointless act with a look of regret, picked up the book, and laid it out on the balcony, letting the cold moonlight outside the window shine on the spread out of the paper.

After finishing the book, Old Man Dick turned around and smiled embarrassedly at Chu Feiyue.

"It made the heir smile again..."

"Isn't it because Grandpa Dick is in such a panic that he is in a hurry for us, and it should be us who should say sorry."

Chu Feiyue commanded the wheal to fly to the wall with Yue Roulan, then turned around and said with a smile to Old Man Dick.

"So, can you tell me what the hell is going on? I'm curious about all these things that happened today. ”

“…… Although from my personal point of view, I don't want the heir to be involved in the affairs of our old men, but since the heir has become a party, there is no need to keep this matter secret from the heir. ”

"Sit down, this matter may be a long time to go."

Old man Dick pushed the chair in front of the desk to Chu Feiyue, and he sat down on the very messy bed, opened a drawer at the head of the bed, and began to take off the magic-enhancing jewelry he was wearing one by one, and put it in the small compartment of the drawer.

After regaining his relaxed appearance in a red robe, Old Man Dick grabbed the metal staff that was leaning against the side of the bed, placed it horizontally on his knees, and tapped the handle of the staff with his fingers, while half-squinting his eyes, turning over the long-ago memories stored in his mind, and telling Chu Feiyue little by little.

"The origins of the Court of the Guardians date back more than 2,000 years. But I can't remember exactly how long... I only remember that at that time, the Elven Empress had just ceded the position of the Holy Sky Emperor to humans for a few years. ”

"In order to wait for the goddess to return, in order to see the goddess again, almost everyone in the Guards Legion has chosen to transform themselves into Eternals. Although the methods are not necessarily the same, such as those of us who freeze our last moments, or those who transform ourselves into lichs or heroic spirits, or give up our original bodies to attach our souls to alchemy dolls...... There are many types, no matter what, our lives have indeed been greatly extended, far more than those of the same kind after the God War, I don't know how many times. ”

"But the realm of the soul is far from being as simple as we imagined, although our physical bodies are immortal, our souls are still gradually aging, but the process is very slow, and even after five or six thousand years have passed since the Divine War, we find that our soul fire is about to burn out."

"What is the use of the body without the soul? For this reason, we searched for the cause of the aging of the soul - at that time, we believed that if we found the answer to this question, we would naturally know how to rejuvenate and revitalize the soul. ”

"Because the soul structure of the primordial elven lords is completely different from those of us who have been modified by the Pseudo-Immortal Species, they cannot help us in this matter. We have spent too much time on the road of pursuing this problem, and many of our companions have chosen to sleep semi-permanently because they have not resisted the consumption of time on their souls, and have continued their lives by stopping their thoughts, looking forward to our companions who can still move to bring them hope to continue to live. ”

"The emperor has lived up to his wishes, and through Guò's study of those true immortals, the reason why the soul fire is gradually extinguishing has finally been found by us."

"The burning of the soul fire also requires fuel. And this fuel is not a physical substance, but our spirit. In other words, it is "love xù". ”

Old man Dick spread out his hand and summoned a cheerful mass of activity. From Chu Feiyue's point of view, there were also two flames burning in Old Man Dick's eyes.

Supporting those two flames is the belief that Old Man Dick has always insisted on and never gave up.

"Love is the fuel of the soul. Beneficial affection, family affection, friendship, and love can all make the fire of the soul burn more vigorously, and the top of them is the love xù that supports us to win the battle of the ancient gods - "hope". On the contrary, the wrong emotions are like flame retardants, which will gradually dim the soul, and when these emotions that will have a negative impact on us accumulate too much, the fire of our soul will gradually be extinguished. ”

Wrong love - wrong love, wrong expectations, wrong trust, wrong hatred, and so on......

"After finding out the reason why the soul fire was gradually extinguishing, we old guys who were still able to move began to study how to break through the current predicament. At this time, Lady Sunny, who learned of the progress of our research, provided us with a way to separate the negative emotions from the soul. It only takes a dream for us to seal our negativity in a dream bottle. But soon, we discovered that the capacity of the Dream Bottle was too small to hold all of our negativity. And those negative emotions that are not contained will escape into the surrounding environment, clinging to all kinds of things, such as a rabbit, a tree, or a stone, demonizing them into monsters that only know how to destroy. ”

"What's even more troublesome is that after these monsters that we pseudo-immortals rely on are killed, those negative emotions will escape back into the environment. If you want to solve them once and for all, there is no other way but to seal them. ”

Old man Dick's description of these negativity made Chu Feiyue's brow furrow, this situation had too many similarities with the erosion of "red jade" - except that the spread of "red jade" was more deadly, their danger was almost the same.

Chu Feiyue's thoughts began to drift, but Old Man Dick was already completely immersed in the memories, and he didn't notice that Chu Feiyue was deserting, but continued to speak.

"Because those negative feelings can't be put on random, in the end, we have to seal them all up. But at this time, where to seal has become the biggest problem. These negativity has a penetrating power far beyond any of the substances we have studied before, and ordinary seals will even be ignored by them, and even reinforced seals often don't last long. Eventually, we decided to extravagantly use an entire half-plane to seal these negativity. To this end, we deliberately found a Void Crystal and reactivated it, which is the origin of the Court of Guardians. ”

"After the establishment of the Court of the Guardians, we happily poured all the negative emotions into it, thinking that everything would be fine, because we didn't believe that those negative emotions could break free from the blockade of one and a half planes."

"But the truth has slapped us hard again, and although they can't come out, those negative feelings are constantly regrouping, merging, and growing stronger all the time in the Court of the Guardians. When we opened the Guardian's Court for the second time and tried to pour out the negativity into it again, the "monsters" attacked us from the inside of the Guardian's Court. We were completely defenseless... It was the heaviest loss we had since the victory in the Divine War. After a lot of effort to get those monsters back together, we decided to send people into the Guardian's Court every once in a while to disperse the reunited "monsters" again. And this "clean-up" plan was handed over to Kewpie to implement. Out of trust in the spirits, we gave it all over the matter, and it did a good job - at least in every report we did, we thought it did a good job. ”

"But I didn't expect it! I didn't expect ...... It actually took on a black and white face, and at the same time took advantage of the negative feelings that were dispersed and our strong support for it, and signed a contract with those girls with excellent magical qualifications, using them to destroy the monsters in the Court of the Guardians, and at the same time make them experience the despair of being irredeemed, and squeeze the purest "hope" from these pure girls. ”

"And the cause of this qiē is its heartfelt love for those of us who created it... Committing an unforgivable sin without benefiting oneself at all. ”

"Such a Kewpie, we who are old and immortal, what face do we have to judge !!"

Old man Dick covered his face with his hands, grew his mouth, and sobbed quietly. Looking at Old Man Dick's shoulders twitching slightly from time to time, Chu Feiyue was dumbfounded.

If there is an all-knowing and all-powerful God, how would she judge this case?

Probably, only God can know about this question.
