The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 219: To bury is to forget

It is naturally good to live forever. But it would be better if you were born immortal.

Resisting death is a betrayal of all the "life" one has experienced so far.

Every painful choice, every sadness hatched by loss, every joy ignited by gain...the love and hate of the past will also be erased by time.

When looking at the tombs of the grandchildren or great-grandchildren of lovers and enemies, the past emotions in my heart seem so ridiculous.

It seems that everything that I have worked hard for and suffered for in the past has become meaningless because of the great extension of life.

From this point of view, the strong desire held by the golden class and the concept of using firewood as a substitute for lifespan as an element of "soul" were completely reshaped after they became gods. It is used to pave the way for worldview.

The outlook on life of short-lived species is completely different from that of long-lived species - this is naturally reasonable.

The giant itself is a species of immortality.

But the undead and gods are the most immortal species in this world.

——The Lord of Bones is both the undead and the god.

"The so-called 'funeral'... is the gift of farewell to the deceased."

The Lord of Bones still knelt before the Bone Burial Granny and whispered: "The earliest funeral... was formed in the early First Age. The so-called 'bone burial ceremony' is to swallow the deceased with the earth...

"Why did the ancients think of...burying the dead with the earth?"

His voice is calm and cold, just listening to it is enough to send chills down your spine.

"Nature... will not be for its rest. The association of 'burial' and 'rest' is when people think of... [The earth is always silent, like winter, like a corpse] This Afterwards.

"——The bottom line is that burial is to forget. Burial is to never see each other again."

When Mr. Bones said this, he was silent for a moment.

He seemed to want to take a deep breath...but he no longer had the function of "breathing".

"Therefore," Bones Lord whispered, "burying - is betrayal.

"People will remember the dead, but people have already known it from the fear deep in their blood... people will eventually face death. Therefore, people do not have that much fear of death itself. More Yes, it’s because ‘death’ means their absolute separation from what they already have.”

The Skeleton Master's words became more and more fluent: "What they fear is not 'death has come', because they have already known that 'death has come'. From the very beginning, what they fear is that 'death' is torn apart." their lives.

"It's like being exiled to the end of the sky. Being exiled to another world beyond this world with empty hands... The ancients' imagination of the world after death also roughly came from this."

As he gradually adapted to modern grammar, the Skeleton Master was no longer so intermittent when he spoke... Therefore, the heavy and pleading pressure was actually reduced a lot.

Longjing Tea’s heart beat fiercely.

His instinct made him feel uneasy and excited.

He was vaguely aware of...

Mr. Bones seems to be planning to do something big.

Because the initial meeting was too abrupt. Now, he suddenly recalled... They did not perform any ritual to call the Bone Lord.

Then it is impossible for Lord Skeleton to come here on his own initiative.

In other words.

The appearance of Lord Skeleton here has nothing to do with them. They just happened to catch it.

He must be - and can only be - returned to the Principality of Song Song early.

The problem arises.

Why is this empty nester going back to his hometown alone?

Visiting relatives?

Still...

"...It is precisely because of the 'Five Laws of the Dead' that death separates everything and abandons everything, which makes it scary. And except for the fear of abandoning things that cannot be abandoned, death itself is not Horrible.

"My country was once called [Mourning Song]. This is not its real name."

No one responded, and the old voice of Mr. Skeleton sounded in the center of the sea of ​​tombs, minding its own business.

"Because it was a 'farewell song' that resounded across the country for a month. But it is different from what other countries think... This is not because of their bravery, but because in the long-term thinking, we and other giants The clan has been able to look directly at death. It is actually a kind of celebration and a kind of farewell.

"There is a saying that has been circulated among you dwarves for a long time - giants have no vision when they are young, and they cannot speak when they grow old. The first half of the sentence is correct... because giants only have one huge eye. Giant, if you keep your eyes open for a little longer, you will feel tired.

"We are not like you, who need hunting and crafting. Therefore, we do not need our eyes to locate prey - giants have psychic abilities, and their psychic abilities alone are enough to obtain a sense of space. So in an era of nutritional scarcity, nutrition must Priority is given to the brain and trunk, while the eyes may not develop temporarily.

"When the body becomes strong and the brain is fully developed, the giant will open its eyes. This is used to find a mate... The clearer and brighter the eyes, the better the development of the brain and body. It will become more competitive.

"The aged giants can actually speak. But they cannot speak in front of others... This is because they are gradually cutting off their 'fate' with the world.

"If you are separated after a quarrel, it will be a pain for both people. But if the two parties do not see each other, all emotions will be washed away after a long time. After the giant grows old, he is already thinking about it. Prepare yourselves for death—just as your infancy prepared you for boyhood, and your boyhood prepared you for adulthood.

"It's just that you don't dare to look death in the eye... so the older you get, the more you want to escape, and the harder it is to hear death. It's as if death will not come as long as you can't hear it..."

"——But death comes eventually."

Mr. Bones said so calmly.

It is ironic to say this in His current capacity.

Because Lord Bones himself is a **** who was born to escape death...

According to records, the Duke of Bones was the last grand duke of the Principality of Song of Songs - at that time the Great Barrier collapsed, and the Principality of Bones was the principality closest to the Great Barrier. Before the small barrier was propped up, the Principality of Song Song was already submerged in the gray fog and had no way to retreat.

Faced with "certain death", all the extraordinary beings who believe in the Bone Burial Granny immediately use their last strength to kill the extraordinary beings of other faiths in the principality, and absorb all the curses on them... and then take the poison. , before death, he used the unique magic of the Bone Burial Granny to seal his own bones.

After everyone committed suicide, Lord Skeleton silently started the sublimation ceremony.

He absorbed everyone's "death" and turned it into the foundation for his own advancement. Under his hollow cloak, the souls of all citizens are bound.

——It was He who kept all people from rest, so that He could turn his back on death.

It is this betrayal of "certain death", betrayal of fate, betrayal of mission, and betrayal of the nation that makes him the **** of betrayal.

So now...

The uneasiness and excitement in Longjing Tea's heart became more and more intense.

What exactly does Mr. Bones want to say?

What exactly does He want to do?

Longjing Tea sensed more and more clearly that something was approaching... Even the delicious wind goose and the wandering child, whose perceptions were not that strong, began to feel a faint chill down their spines.

"I buried everyone. I said goodbye to everyone. I betrayed everyone. ~IndoMTL.com~ I forgot everyone."

The Bone Man said word by word: "I have cut off contact with everyone. I said goodbye to everything about me - my world was destroyed that day."

He slowly stood up from the ground.

His figure is tall and majestic, like a pure white mountain.

"I always felt that something was wrong."

The old man's voice sounded leisurely: "That's it.

"I have already ruined myself..."

After saying that, the Skeleton King, who stood like a knight, was silent for a moment.

"——I'm sorry, mother-in-law."

It was an extremely low sound.

Only Dove caught this whisper.

The next moment, Mr. Bones did something that no one present expected -

I saw Him chanting calmly.

"[Destroy]——"

——Proverbs of destruction.

The supreme edict blurted out.

In front of Lord Skeleton.

The dark gray, tsunami-like cone-shaped aura spread forward——

And bear the brunt of it.

It is the statue of the Bone Burial Granny and the tomb guarded by it.

In just a moment - the two of them were completely destroyed to pieces!
