Chapter 394 Lu Xiucai Calls Experts Directly (2 in 1)

"Player Super Justice ()"

After a while, Philip gradually recovered.

But even so, he looked several years older. The moment the gray and defeated look appeared, the carefree and happy smile disappeared from his face.

"You... look familiar."

Philip no longer denied his identity.

He acquiesced to Victor's words, raised his head and asked, "Then, who are you?

"You can know me, know my real surname; even know Master Chiron, know what crimes Master Chiron has committed, know the information about the great curse, know that Master Chiron may know the secret of the sinking of the imperial capital... you Who is it?"

Without waiting for Victor to answer, Philip replied self-consciously: "You should have met me before. But I don't remember you at all, so there is a high probability that you cannot be an elf of my age.

"You have gray eyes—but all pure-blooded elves should have green eyes... If I remember correctly, as long as the pupil color of an elf becomes metallic, it is proof that you have violated taboos many times."

Philip narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and leaned back slightly: "You have absorbed the spell energy for a long time. This will make the clear and pure condensed soul of the elf become like metal.

"And you have committed a great crime, and you can still live until now... It means that you have made great achievements, and you can even make up for your crime of sucking the blood of the world. In addition, you, as the Hand of Winter, followed His Majesty Annan from the Dukedom of Winter come over……"

His voice is getting lower and lower.

Prince Philip frowned and thought.

And Victor didn't interrupt his thinking, he just stood behind Annan in a butler uniform with a smile on his face. With his hands behind his back, his figure is elegant and upright.

"……who are you?"

After a long time, Prince Philip frowned and asked: "Too long a memory...I can't remember it anymore."

His memory loss was too severe.

Every time he uses the fourth theory of history, he will lose a quarter of his memories—and these memories, of course, are not the memories of his first life, but all the memories he held when using the fourth theory of history.

And this quarter of memory is not cut off a quarter of the entire paragraph. And like a data defect, it will destroy part of the details of all memories.

He had reincarnated so many times that the memory of his earliest life had become fragmented.

He can still recognize Chiron, and know his own name... It's not easy.

- It's almost like dementia.

Annan thought.

Facing Philip's performance, Victor did not seem surprised.

He just shook his head slightly, and said persuasively, "I'm Victor, Victor Shuangyu...do you remember?"

"you……"

Philip frowned.

Victor continued: "I live in the era when 'Winter' has not yet been born. I am the founder of the profession of [Frost Whisperer], the first Frost Whisperer scholar in the world.

"I simplified the dragon language, which is complex and possesses extraordinary power, and is incomprehensible to mortals. I removed some overly hot masculine words, modified some voices that elves cannot speak, and modified the grammar... …invented the Frost Language that even elves could speak and dragons could understand.

"I am the first elf who has no dragon blood at all and can be given the name 'Frost Whisper' by the old grandmother. Because my 'Frost Whisper' is not the family's surname, nor is it 'Frost Whisper Dragon' My race, but my title... just like you were once named 'Eloquent' by the emperor.

"My wife used to be a giant dragon. She is the biological sister of Grand Duke Frostwhisper, and also the promoter of 'Frostwhisper' in the dragon tribe. She is not only my lover, but also my teacher and helper. My partner who created the language 'Frost Language'..."

Having said that, Victor suddenly paused.

Afterwards, he spoke again: "Of course, for mortals... my other identity is more worthy of their remembering.

"I am the fourth-generation Tower Master of the Tower of Storms... that is, the 'Eldest Daughter of the Storm', the biological father of Altaste Frostwhisper, the guardian of the fourth to tenth generation Daughter of the Storm, and also the The initiator and advocate of the activity of "abstaining from spells".

"I've said so much... Do you still remember me? Or, do you remember when you were an elf?"

Victor's words made Philip remain silent.

The frost-haired gray-eyed elf sighed, and looked at Philip who was still a little dazed.

There was some nostalgia and some pity in his eyes: "Flamel—this surname is called a 'wise man' in the elf language. Your most outstanding descendant, Nicholas Flamel, was once a sage Improver of the Stone.

"The Philosopher's Stone can prolong the lifespan of golden-rank transcendents and greatly strengthen their strength. But I don't think he will know... how ugly his ancestors have become in order to 'live'."

Annan raised his eyebrows.

He has realized the crux of the problem.

After so many reincarnations, Philip I's memory has long been incomplete. In addition to remembering that he was bloodied by the first King Noah, and who he is... he has almost completely forgotten his common sense as an elf.

It is even possible that Philip himself began to doubt his original memory. Those memories are tattered, and it is inevitable that some details may be forgotten... Then Philip can only repair it through logic and imagination.

From this point of view, the information he told Annan about "Chiron"...doesn't necessarily mean to mislead Annan.

——The truth is, maybe he himself can't remember clearly.

So he followed the direction he wanted and subconsciously modified the memory.

The memories of his first life are not enough to support his personality as "Philip Flamel".

Or……

Every time Philip used the Fourth History Theory to reincarnate in the future, it was actually tantamount to obliterating his old personality.

This must have been what Philip didn't want to see at the beginning.

But it's impossible for him to stop now.

Once it stops, it is tantamount to denying the existence of the previous "Philip".

...Perhaps he plans to stop reincarnation now because he has forgotten the obsession with which he decided to reincarnate in the first place.

"...I'm not lying to you. I'm really... I can't remember the things you said."

Philip finally spoke.

The carefree smile no longer hung on his face, and his voice became low and deep: "But there is one thing, you are wrong.

"I'm not trying to find a blank book of truth from Chiron...I've lived enough. No, the exact word is...I don't know the reason for living anymore.

"I... forgot very important things. I also forgot people who were important to me. But I even forgot, what exactly did I forget."

Philip said slowly: "I just feel that I have lived for so long, and my life has lasted for hundreds of years... If I end it ugly, I will live in vain.

"I remember a long, long time ago, someone asked me: 'If you had three more years to live, what would you do?' I don't remember who asked it, and I don't know how I answered it of.

"But if I am answering this question right now... then I just want to have fun. I don't want to think about anything, I want a life of peace, I want a final sleep...

"I'm very, very tired."

Philip raised his hand again, and put the chilled honey grilled meat that he had been clutching in his hand to his mouth. He tore a piece vigorously and chewed it slowly.

The meat that has cooled down is naturally not so fragrant. The honey and fat are mixed together, and a thin layer of grease has condensed on the outside, and the taste is obviously not very good.

But he seemed to have no feeling at all, chewing seriously, as if the food in his mouth was a peerless delicacy, and swallowed it with a very delicious look.

He said in a vague voice: "I don't want to think about that kind of thing anymore.

"You really misunderstood me...Your Excellency Victor. I don't want that cursed object that sank in the deep sea and lost, nor do I want to become a god. I may have been a golden-rank transcendent, but I... no longer Such a strong desire."

Not so much desire—is that all?

Annan could perceive that this was indeed the truth.

In other words, these are all truths. But not the whole truth.

Looking at Philip who was eating meat, Annan vaguely grasped another meaning.

Every time you reincarnate, you also need a quarter of your desires as an expense. So, why does Prince Philip look so gluttonous and lustful every day, eating meat and drinking big mouthfuls wherever he goes, and chewing his special devil's blood toffee when he has nothing to do?

I am afraid the answer is that he has already lost his true desire.

Even pleasure itself may not be his desire.

—He is forcing himself to have fun.

The memory of the first life left in Philip's brain is like a wound that has healed.

Usually I can't feel it anymore, but occasionally there will still be such a phantom pain for a moment... If you touch it actively, you will feel the scar very clearly.

Annan suddenly remembered what Philip had said to him when he met Philip for the first time in his nightmare.

Whether it was the first life in reality or the second life in the nightmare, Annan hadn't affected Philip at that time. In other words, what Philip said to Annan in the nightmare at that time should basically be what he said when he met Annan in the first week.

—I can see that you have an unfettered soul that follows pleasure.

——If you feel depressed one day and want to break free from the chains that bind your fate...you can come to me.

If you think about it carefully, you will notice something is wrong.

If it is a bastard who is not valued by a nobleman, or a commoner with a poor family, he can say this.

But as one of the future heirs of Noah's kingdom, he is even a very high ranking prince... He has lived a good life since he was a child, so where is the "chain that binds fate"?

Does he regard the mission of becoming a king as a chain that binds his own destiny?

—Of course not.

Now Annan finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

As the blood of Flamel (the wise man), Philip is still affected. Even though his wisdom has been weakened to the level of a mortal, Philip's vision and experience immediately judged the fact that Annan was "not a person of this world".

In other words, he didn't judge that Annan was a time traveler.

It is "at least reborn", that is, a reincarnated person with a "first life". That's why Annan has such a mature way of handling things at such a young age.

——Just like he was back then.

The so-called "chains that bind fate" refer to the memories of previous lives. In other words, it is the conflict between the memory of the previous life and the identity of this life.

"—Man is a machine driven by desire."

Annan opened his mouth and read softly, "How is a life without desire different from a puppet?"

Hearing this, Philip's body froze again.

This is what Philip once said to Annan.

This is indeed his heartfelt emotion.

It is precisely because he thinks that Annan "may be the same kind", and at the same time Annan is a child on the outside; based on this complicated mentality, he subconsciously said this sentence.

Generally speaking, the heirs of this kind of royal family... especially when the relationship between the heirs is not good, it is not so easy to speak their minds.

Because it may often reveal their true desires. Might expose their purpose.

"You once told me... what you are after is [youth]."

Annan said slowly, "You should still remember?"

"……yes."

Philip nodded.

He recalled: "At that time, you asked me...'If you had to pick one out of youth, would you choose immortality or immortality?'"

Annan recalled that Philip's response at the time was a standard adult response.

—I want it all.

However, Annan and Zhoumu Annan's questioning methods are not exactly the same.

Today's Annan will consider other people's ideas, and he will become more tactful when speaking, giving people room to "adapt"...or "escape".

However, Annan for the first week is not so easy to get along with.

He has a cold and indifferent attitude towards most people who are of no use value - even acquaintances like Bella, if necessary, can be discarded without hesitation, let alone strangers who have never met.

It is precisely because of this that it gave Celesia such a strong sense of oppression back then.

And his questioning of Philip would naturally not give him room to escape.

"I also said 'I want them all'... This is indeed my true thought. But you asked further, 'If you can only choose one?'"

Having said that, Philip showed a self-deprecating smile on his face: "I must thank you.

"It was at that time that I finally vaguely realized...the true thoughts deep in my heart."

"What you want is 'not old'."

Annan replied softly.

This is a historical anomaly.

He did not pursue the answer further at the time. Of course, there are also reasons why he is not as sharp as his other self, and among them is the factor that he doesn't care so much about Philip.

For Annan, Philip was not special enough, but could "be kind to others".

But even so, he can judge what kind of person Philip is just based on his profile of Philip when he talked with Philip here.

He can only and will only choose at that time - "not to grow old".

"yes."

Philip replied, "That's when I realized...

"Maybe, I actually want to die."

"—Then," Annan looked at him, "why don't you die?"
