"I was right!" Link wiped the cold sweat from his head and looked at the space that had returned to normal with lingering fear. He had not moved at all and was still standing in the same place, as if he had just climbed up.

When he went up to this floor, it looked like nothing had happened, but Link felt like he was in another world: "What good luck!"

Link raised his eyes and looked at Master Lei Ze who had now stood up. It seemed that the position of Grand Master Lei Ze had not moved. He was still just a few steps away from him, just like the few steps towards death.

, is just an illusion, the afternoon sun comes in through the window, although the strong breath of death from Master Lei Ze still permeates this space, but for Link, the current scene,

But it already gave him a feeling of vitality.

At least now he can feel the temperature of the sun, the chirping of insects outdoors, and can speak, hear, and think. After a near-death experience, Link now understands that everything that ordinary people can experience is so luxurious.

and happiness.

Death is indeed quite terrible.

No wonder Master Lei Ze has been so lonely for many years.

It's no wonder that although Grand Master Lei Ze has never taken action and never shows a blank face when facing him, in terms of feelings, he always makes me feel that he is the most terrifying Grand Master in the Mage Tower.

If he hadn't just temporarily remembered the battle with Anta, the last question left by Anta, and the words that came from afar, maybe he would have really died now.

Link was still a little scared when he thought about the last step just now.

Fortunately, the bet turned out to be right!

"How did you know?" The rare confused look on Master Lei Ze's face has disappeared. Now he has returned to his usual inscrutable look.

His eyes continued to stare at the flower that Link had moved over with the Space Principle at the most urgent moment, and he asked lightly.

"Know? I know? What do I know?!" Link was a little dazed. He actually understood the meaning of Master Lei Ze's question, but he really didn't know how to answer it.

At the most urgent moment just now, he suddenly remembered that when he was fighting Anta, the last question and the situation he was encountering now were actually somewhat similar.

With Anta's strong murderous nature driven by the undead warrior instinct at that time, when he simulated the aura of Master Lei Ze, he still paused involuntarily.

This proves that there may not really be anything that can slightly delay death.

So at that tense moment, Link thought of the flower in Master Lei Ze's room.

In the room of Master Lei Ze, there has been a strong aura of death for many years. Even the great Knight Link had to go through a not too short period of time before he could barely overcome this aura of death.

A heavy sense of oppression and discomfort. Although Link's cultivation method was figured out by himself and his strength cannot be determined by the popular rank classification on the mainland, what Link can be sure of is that there are slightly more people on the mainland.

If the lower-level experts approach Master Lei Ze's room, they probably won't need anyone to take action. The thick aura of death alone is enough to kill them, let alone ordinary things.

Snakes, insects, rats, ants, flowers, trees and other creatures.

But this flower can grow freely in Master Lei Ze's room, which only means one thing.

This flower may be the only source of vitality in Master Lei Ze's aura of death.

Of course, Link was completely unsure. When he chose such a method, he really had no choice but to take a gamble.

In the past few years, since he got used to the death aura of Grand Master Lei Ze, he has become a little interested in this plant that grows in the room of the Grand Master who controls the rules of death, but he looks left and right.

Nothing happened. I wanted to get a flower to go back and study, but I saw that although the flower tree was barely growing, the situation was not very good. There were only a few flowers hanging. It would be too obvious to steal one.

It would be difficult not to let Great Master Lei Ze find out. If the Great Master, who usually seemed very cold, got angry, Link would not be able to bear it.

Although at that time Link had not experienced the terror of Master Lei Ze as deeply as he does today, he subconsciously felt that this guy was someone he could not mess with.

So after paying attention to it for a few days but not getting any results, Link slowly forgot about it.

Link's temperament has always been to be covered by the sky. Apart from wanting to be a great knight, he has never felt that he had to do anything. What's more, he is in the mage tower now, and there are some things in the mage tower.

Once you understand something, understand it. Don't ask if you don't understand. This is an unwritten rule.

You know, any seemingly inconspicuous and amiable old man in the Mage Tower must have been a powerful figure on the mainland who knows how many years ago. There are countless stories about any person in the Mage Tower, and there are some that he doesn’t want to tell.

In the past, Link has long been accustomed to controlling his curiosity. Besides, in the past three years, there are so many things left by the father of the Mage Tower, and there are so many things he has just learned. There are too many

There are so many things to do. If it weren't for today's special inspiration that comes to people's minds when they really have no way out, Link would have forgotten about it.

Now looking at the expression of Master Lei Ze, it seems that there is really some secret in this flower. Link really doesn't know how to answer it now.

"After so many years, I still can't let my death aura erase its existence." Master Lei Ze continued to stare at the flower, as if he was feeling emotional, and did not notice Link's silence.

, thinking to himself, he said to himself: "If I could really be cruel and erase it along with you, would my death rules be truly complete?!"

"No one has ever been able to escape from the rules of death. Even the other great mentors, if they have been trapped in the rules of death, there is absolutely no way to reverse or stop it." Great mentor Lei Ze raised his head and looked at Link: "

You are the first to escape from the rules of death. Tell me, how did you come up with the idea of ​​using this tree flower to stop the pace of death?!"

"I... this... hehe..." Link giggled, not knowing what to say.

Could it be that I tell the truth to Master Lei Ze, I actually don’t know anything, I just looked like I was about to die and I just wanted to pull something to block it, but I got hit?!

Seeing that Master Lei Ze seemed to be very interested in the drama, Link felt that if he really told the truth, the Master Lei Ze in front of him might become violent and kill him in one fell swoop.

"Tell me, what else do you know?!" Master Lei Ze asked, without giving Link much time to think.

"Actually, I didn't expect that this flower tree could stop the pace of death." Link shrugged. After hesitating for a while, he finally decided to tell the truth. After all, they are all people who have died once.

He pretended to be a grandson and just pretended: "I just suddenly remembered that this flower tree is the only thing around you that can still maintain vitality, so I want to try to see if he is what you think in the face of death.

Something like that can still be preserved, and now it seems that I hit the right one!”

Now that Link has come back to his senses, he has also remembered that he is not a challenger. He came here just to take on this challenge. At the moment, it seems that he has passed the test.

As the guardian, Grand Instructor Lei Ze should send him off respectfully. It seems that these issues can be left to be discussed when there is an opportunity in the future. Of course, whether there is such an opportunity, that is another matter.

"You...you don't know anything?!" Master Lei Ze's eyebrows were raised slightly, looking angry and funny: "Then you dare to use your last strength at the last moment, isn't it?

I was thinking about using the rules of space to try to remove myself from here, but instead brought a flower tree like this that you don’t know what it does?! Then it became my death rule.

The first person to escape?!

"This... even if I can escape, it still can't be considered as passing the test. Moreover," Link scratched his head: "I still insist that in the face of death, people can still leave something behind, just like I just stepped out

When I was taking the last step, I was still thinking about Big Daddy, Little Daddy, and my brother Kermila. I also knew that they would also be thinking about me, although they might have thought that I had already died three years ago.

Just hang up!"

"So, even if death can really erase all traces of my life in this world, it can't erase me from the memories of my relatives and brothers." The more Link spoke, the clearer his thinking became: "No matter what

How about it, in the face of death, people can still leave something behind, Master Lei Ze, it seems that my understanding of the rules of death just now is correct, can I pass the test this time?"

"Is that so?" Link's words made Master Lei Ze forget the ridiculous feeling just now, and instead fell into deep thinking.

Perhaps, all along the way, Link has been telling these great teachers the most simple truths, but what these great teachers lack the most is probably the most simple truths.

You know, before entering the Mage Tower, I don’t know how many years ago, they were already strong men standing at the top of the entire continent. After entering the Mage Tower, they can be recognized by the Palace of Mysteries and become great mentors who master the power of rules.

, for thousands of years, it’s just a few of them.

Therefore, what Link said, which ordinary people can feel and know clearly, is exactly what these peerless experts lack the most, because they themselves have separated themselves from that kind of ordinary people.

The era of one of them is too long ago, and except for Link, a weirdo who doesn't know how to classify ranks, no ordinary person can stand in front of them and talk to them.

"So, that's it." Grand Master Lei Ze seemed to have finally figured out something. He glanced at the flower tree and sighed: "In the face of death, people are not completely inactive. At least, they have some memories.

, there are some emotions that, no matter how long it lasts, can still make death powerless!"

"As a great mentor who regards the rules of death as his lifelong research goal, I should feel very frustrated when I find that there are such irreparable shortcomings in the rules of death." Great mentor Lei Ze looked at Link with a smile on his lips.

: “But why do I feel a little more relaxed now?!”

"Perverted!" Of course Link didn't dare to say this, but it just flashed through his mind.

Link could only have this answer to this question from Master Lei Ze.

He also couldn't understand why Master Lei Ze was still so silly and happy after he understood the limitations of death!

It makes sense to say that Sage Anta was happy just now. After all, he has always been afraid of death, but Master Lei Ze is simply the incarnation of death. Knowing that he still has some irreparable shortcomings, how can he still be like this?

Are you happy?!

"Sit down," Master Lei Ze slowly sat down cross-legged in front of the flower tree, just like when he was sitting in his room, greeting Link.

He looked up and saw Link hesitating, shook his head and said with a smile: "You kid, don't worry, you have passed the test now, but can you sit down and chat with me first, I won't embarrass you.

"

"Passed the level?!" Link didn't know what kind of mood he was sitting down with. How could he pass the challenge of the Mage Tower?

He raised his head and looked at Great Instructor Lei Ze.

This was not the first time that Link sat opposite Master Lei Ze at such a close distance, but only this time did he feel that he had truly seen Master Lei Ze’s face clearly for the first time. He had looked at Master Lei Ze before.

When I was a mentor, the impression left behind was just the cold breath of death.

Grand Master Lei Ze is definitely not old. Of course, this means that in terms of appearance, he and his disciple Anta may be said to be two outliers in the Mage Tower. Well, Grand Master Qi Weila is of course excluded.

.

Anta has trained his body into an undead warrior, so no matter how many years have passed, it has not changed at all. His great mentor, Vera, is a great mentor who studies the rules of life, and she is also a lady, so she can maintain her appearance.

It's not surprising that he is still full of charm, but Grand Master Lei Ze doesn't know what method he used, and he actually looks like he is in his thirties. Although the cold death aura makes him look like a stranger.

Although he looks very close, it also adds a bit of strange attraction. Even Link, who usually thinks that he is good-looking, has to admit that Grand Master Lei Ze still seems to be more handsome than him in terms of appearance alone.

A little more charming.

Does death make aging forgetful?!
