There was a woman lying on the stage. She was wearing a snow-white wedding dress, with beautiful facial features, but lifeless. Her body... or the body, her naked skin was paler than the wedding dress, and swollen black and purple veins were clearly visible on it, like twisted earthworms entrenched on her body, destroying this beauty.

"I'll tell you a story."

Pine stood beside her, her throat trembled slightly, and Zel stood silently as a listener.

"I used to be just a thief with no presence. Every day I squatted in a noisy bar, and under the cover of noise and alcohol, I took some money from the pockets of drunken drunks who were drunk. Sometimes I would whistle up and do the big tickets and cut off the wallets of passers-by next to Hinai Gate. That time, I heard from others that a group of novel things came from the warehouse. When I was so angry, I came to the warehouse in the dark, and then she caught me in the current situation."

"Sophia, the daughter of the Alchemy Baron, I actually went to her house. There were thugs outside the warehouse, and as soon as she called me, she would die. But she didn't do that, but let me go. She told me that tomorrow was her birthday, and she wanted a gift. From that moment on, all her face was left in my eyes was left. She was a thief with great means, and she stole my heart."

His eyes were deep, as if he hadn't had a good sleep for days or nights, but when he talked about Sophia, there was light in his eyes.

"I took her out of the dark alley and played wildly all day. She said it was her happiest birthday. Her father locked her in a tower like a bird in a cage, and I took her to feel the vast sky. After that, we spent a few crazy days together, both a long life and a short moment. It was like falling in love with the sun, and the first time I saw the world around you so clearly because her light illuminated everything."

"I knew that such days could not last long, so I returned her to Zuan. I stopped living in a mess and started working for the Baron, just to appear in front of her with a stern appearance. I tried my best and had a strong momentum. I quickly got to the position of assistant. At this time, the old Baron died, and Sophia replaced him as the next alchemy baron. I was very happy that I could work under her, but we all knew that her ability was not enough to be competent for this position, so I decided to publicize to the public that I was the new Baron when I got married."

Until here, Pine's tone was very gentle. Then he changed his tone and a beast-like roar came from his throat.

"Those ungrateful wolves have rebelled! The old baron's former subordinates attacked Sophia on the wedding day. They locked her in a mine and asked her to hand over the warehouse. But in fact, I had taken over the warehouse at that time. Sophia was just named Alchemy Baron, and they should have caught me. When I was rescued, her heart and lungs had been irreversible damage due to poison gas erosion. I could only use alchemy potion to hold Sophia's life first. The only way to survive was to use a device instead of the heart and lungs."

"The cardiopulmonary device needs stable energy to drive it. Once installed, it cannot be replaced. Only the Hex gem, which is more stable than the Hex crystal, meets the requirements. There is very little time, and I searched through the entire black alley but couldn't find a gem; the person sent to it was also caught by the police and could not bring the gem back."

"Just last night, Sophia left me."

"..." Similar tragedies Zer has seen countless times in film and television novels, but when he found out that there were traces of his own participation, he was still shocked.

It turned out that the thief who stole Hex's gem the night before yesterday was Pine's subordinate.

If he hadn't made an appointment with Caitlin to meet in the cafe, Sophia might have been able to be treated in time and survive.

"Baron Pine, I feel very sorry for your lover's departure." Zel turned his face away. He never thought that there would be such a coincidence in this world. A kind of regret after knowing the truth filled his heart.

Pine's eyes left Sophia for the first time, and he turned his hopeful eyes to Zell.

"I can't accept Sophia's departure, mage, I need to use your power to get her back to me."

It turned out that he wanted to resurrect the dead by himself.

Zel paused and shook his head: "Sorry, I can't resurrect her, I don't have that power."

He has checked the treasure book and the lowest cost resurrection requires three points of mana, which he cannot use at the moment. Moreover, the spell also requires the shorter the death time of the deceased, the better, and Sophia's death was already yesterday.

"Aren't you a necromancer? You must have a way!" Pine seemed a little excited, thinking that Zel was deliberately hiding his weakness.

"I really can't do it." Zel pulled the long tail sound. This was not the first time he was misunderstood. "I just learned some fur and could drive one or two little ghosts. Do you think that any magician can be released by the roadside if you find a mage?"

"No! No! Is there no way to save her? As long as she can come back, I will pay any price!"

Pine, who could not accept the reality, clenched his fists and smashed the platform over and over again, as if he wanted to wake Sophia up. That crazy and blind look reminded Zell of someone.

"Oh..." Zel sighed: "Do you really want to resurrect her?"

Pine paused, then nodded.

"Let me do this, I'll tell you a story, and you'll think about this issue after listening to it."

"Once upon a time there was a country called Kamavia, and King Foyego loved his queen deeply..."

“…”

"Foyego immersed the queen's body in the water of Fuguang. Isuld stood up under the influence of the holy water, but became a hated resentful spirit. She picked up Foyego's sword and pierced his heart. The magic of the holy water collided with the ancient sword, and the bursting energy swept the entire island, bound everything it touched to a state of sober and painful immortality."

"This is the origin of Shadow Island." After Zel told the story, Pine's eyes flashed, as if his heart had been shaken.

The reason why he said this was to use this story to make Pine understand that true resurrection is difficult to achieve, and resurrection in the form of the dead is often not accepted by the dead.

Giving up resurrection and letting Sophia rest in peace is the best choice. Otherwise, if you just force it, you will only lose more, and in the end even this beautiful relationship is distorted by madness.

Pine fell into deep confusion and remained unmoved for a long time.

Zell and Lao De looked at each other, and both felt that he needed to be quiet, so they left the room silently.

Advice and choice have been given, and the method is also included in the story. Zell said everything he could say, so he can do whatever he wants.

When the two came outside the attic, Lao De smiled and said, "Master Zell, please come down and I'll send you to whistle..."

"Send your mother!" Before he finished speaking, Zell suddenly punched him to the ground.

Lao De touched the corner of his bloody mouth and looked at Zell in surprise, already stunned.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been here! Bah!"
