Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 317 Untitled
After an unknown amount of time, everything in front of Rhodes shattered like a mirror.

Dazzling white light lit up in front of his eyes, and a sense of dizziness surged up.

Rhodes found himself back in that closed room again.

"Have you finished reading? Is my life meaningless?" Philomena's voice suddenly sounded in Rhode's ear.

She used the Macan language, but Rhodes suddenly learned it after entering the world without knowing it.

He turned his head and found that she was looking at him with a magic dagger.

"If I say, yes, will you kill me with this dagger?" Rhodes asked.

"No, I just feel a little tired from walking, this long and meaningless life, don't you think?" Philomena shook her head.

"It varies from person to person. Even if you don't understand the meaning of living, isn't living a kind of happiness?" Rhodes asked.

"Even if you watch my memory, you still can't empathize with me, you can't feel the pain in my heart, you can't feel the torture I have endured for tens of thousands of years.

All the mistakes are caused by me, take this dagger and give me a relief, let me use my death to put an end to all of this. Philomena stepped forward and handed over the magic dagger in her hand.

"If you want to get rid of it, why don't you do it yourself? Suicide is against your beliefs? You are the first idiot I've ever seen who wants to give up life despite being able to live forever." Rhode took the dagger over.

Philomena closed her eyes with a very indifferent expression, "Hurry up!"

Rhodes crushed the dagger condensed by magic power in his hand.

"What do you think you are dead now? Very calm? Very free and easy? In my opinion, you just dare not face reality.

You were like this tens of thousands of years ago, you didn’t have the courage to face the reality, and you are still like this now, don’t you even have the intention to change at all!

I don't know what you mean by waiting there every day, thinking that your persistence can change what has happened?
Whether he will come back or not, you don't have any points in your mind?Didn't everyone see the scene at that time through the memory of those who came back alive? "

After Philomena heard Rhodes' words, her eyes slowly turned red, and finally she burst into tears.

"What did you think before? Obviously all of them together are no match for you, but you still accept their 'trial' honestly, do you think this is responsible to the tribe?

Those who want to go back to the ground to live a good life, you let them go back by themselves, and no one stops them.

Let those who say they want to go back to fight to the death go back, the passage to the ground is not closed, you can pay them money and food.

Didn't you see that person's malicious intentions?Just like that, he left him with a curse, and finally gave up all his power and power.

If you can face the reality and spend your time on business, nothing will happen now, maybe you will still be the masters of the mainland. " Rhodes continued to scold.

When Rhodes heard that Philomena wanted to help her end her life, he was very angry and restrained as much as possible, so he didn't slap her, but only yelled at him.

Death is liberation, isn't this the teaching of the Death Religion?

It's not that she is seriously ill and in pain, and the resentment and curse on her body have been lifted, but she wants to give up her life.

After calming down, Rhodes looked at Philomena who was sitting on the ground and buried her head in tears, feeling that she was a little too excited just now.

"Sorry, I was a little excited just now, you can call back and scold me back." Rhodes sat on the ground and apologized to her.

He suddenly found that he is still like an ordinary person, he likes to vent his emotions and then say sorry, and he cannot perfectly control his emotions all the time.

"It's okay, you're right." Philomena shook her head,
"At that time I was too young to really know what I needed to do, I hadn't learned to govern, and there was no one around me who I could trust who was willing to teach me.

Everyone close to me, everyone I trusted died in that battle.

Everyone around me is conspiring to deceive me and hide me. I can't hear what the people want, and I don't know what they hate.

When I realized this, they no longer trusted me, and they blamed all the faults of those blood-sucking bugs on me.

You say I've been waiting there, that's just a snippet of what you saw, and I only go and stand there for ten minutes after the artificial sun goes down and everyone else rests.

This is the only time I rest in the day. Have you ever experienced the feeling of having the rise and fall of the entire group rest on your head?

I don't dare to relax even a day, and I haven't had a day off for decades. With the help of those people, I have endless work every day.

At that time, our refuge was not only a small place like it is now, but also had countless times the population, and I still had to go back to work after returning from the lifting platform every day..."

All the emotions accumulated for tens of thousands of years were vented at once, and Philomena burst into tears without any image. She wanted to continue talking, but she cried so much that she couldn't speak complete words.

Rhodes sighed helplessly, "It's because my thinking is a bit too simple, and the requirements for your abilities are too high. Apart from your identity and responsibilities, you are just an ordinary girl."

He took out a tissue from the space ring and handed it to Philomena, "Blow your nose, it's almost dripping."

Filomina glared at Rhodes, reached for a tissue, blew her nose, squeezed the tissue into a ball and threw it at him, "There's no snot!"

"Did you eat it secretly?" Rhode asked pretending to be surprised.

"You just ate it! You ate it," Philomena said angrily.

Rhodes nodded, "The taste is not bad, but a bit salty."

Philomena showed a disgusted expression, and her tears stopped after being teased by Rhodes like this.

Seeing that she didn't continue to cry, Rhodes looked at himself with disgust, he took out the crown from the space ring, and handed it to Philomena, "Please follow the agreement, first remove the defense system of this fortress Alright."

Without the erosion of the power of the abyss, she no longer gave Rhodes that crazy feeling, and after venting, her emotions are obviously much more stable now.

Philomena took the crown, put it on her head, and closed her eyes, "What's going on? It seems that the defense system has been disarmed before."

"Maybe my companion did it." Rhodes replied.

She said in a panic, "No, those mechanical giants were destroyed by people."

From the surveillance, Philomena could see that the mechanical giants in the hall in front of the main control room were all dismembered by someone with some kind of huge weapon.

"Is the defense system protecting something?" Rhodes asked.

"Guard here." Philomena stood up and replied, she knocked on the bright white wall, and a door appeared, "This is the main control room, and that person will enter here through the lifting platform later. "

Rhode was a little speechless when he heard it, and he asked Alvin to help Baron and the others find the main control room, but Philomena told him that this was actually the main control room.

There are some flaws in this design. You can climb to the main control room from the ventilation duct in the first hall. I don't know if it was an idea.

However, this reminded Rhodes of a hidden secret door at the end of many Nord's tombs, through which one could directly reach the entrance of the tomb.

Did those Nord designers learn from the Macan?
