Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 343 Trying to Maintain the Illusion

"Impossible, you're lying again. Apart from death, the Cleaners have no other way to release the shackles that bind their souls." The middle-aged man shook his head.

"Things are a bit tortuous. I killed a demigod left by a very glorious race tens of thousands of years ago. When it was dying, it used some kind of curse and wanted to kill me, but it ended up killing me first. The cleaner.

I used a special ability to erase that weird curse. After the curse disappeared, everything returned to its original state, except for the shackles that bound the Cleaner, so he was free. Rhodes explained slowly.

He's actually not panicking at all, using magic in the conscious world?
Who are you scaring?

"It's useless for you to explain so much. I won't let you leave here. Only the dead can keep secrets." The light on the middle-aged man became more and more intense.

"It's useless. This is the world of consciousness. Even if I die here, I will only lose some mental power at most. I won't die in the real world." Rhodes didn't show the slightest panic.

"It didn't scare you." The middle-aged man's aura quickly weakened, and the complicated magic circles around him gradually disappeared.

Rhodes found that they had returned to the cozy hut.

He didn't bother to explain to the middle-aged man how deadly it was to use magic in the conscious world. According to the middle-aged man's performance, he didn't seem to understand the rules of the conscious world at all, or thought Rhodes didn't.

"Sit down." The middle-aged man pointed to a chair next to Rhodes.

He sighed, "Since you discovered the location of this place, I can't kill you completely. I can only move this place to another place after you leave."

"You are a demigod of human beings, and you are not those alien races left over from ancient times. Why are you afraid that the clearers will find out where you are?" Rhodes asked curiously.

"I broke the basic rules of operation of this world and resurrected the dead in the conscious world." The middle-aged man explained, "I can't bear to see my daughter enter the hell where there is no hope, time and time again. repeating death."

Rhodes nodded, "I can understand your approach. Although your approach violates the rules of nature, why do those cleaners want to clean you up?"

"If every semi-holy person uses my method to resurrect the dead in the conscious world, then the world will collapse.

Human desires are endless. For example, my initial purpose was to revive my daughter, but after I found that I still had the power to revive my friends, I also revived them.

If possible, I will resurrect other people I know in the future.

And other semi-holy beings will also have the same idea. There may be more people they want to resurrect. For example, a saint who guards the entire country may let all her people continue to live in the conscious world.

If that world is not replenished, this world also perishes. "The middle-aged man explained.

Rhodes could understand everything except his last sentence, and he continued to ask, "Then why didn't you resurrect your wife, Fulla's mother?"

A wry smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, "She's been dead for too long, and after I researched this method, she has completely lost herself and become an irrational wandering soul.

This method has no effect on her, her human side has been completely lost, and I don't think she wants me to see her like this, it's better to let her sleep completely in the flames. "

"I have one last question. What do you mean by the phrase 'If that world is not replenished, this world will perish.'?" Rhode asked again.

"You are a beast." The middle-aged man said angrily.

Rhodes was a little embarrassed. What he did just now was indeed a bit impolite. He should first say "Sorry, I reminded you of such a sad past" with apology and regret before continuing to ask the middle-aged man.

So Rhodes didn't care about this middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was very satisfied with his answer just now, which was a perfect pun.

"Understand my last sentence carefully, it will be very helpful to you in the future." The middle-aged man said earnestly.

Just as Rhodes was about to speak, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"I'm back. Uncle Hunter confiscated my money and gave me a big rabbit." Fulla was full of excitement and walked in with a fat rabbit.

"Maybe it's because you have always been polite, Fulla, and Hunter likes you very much." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Let me show you something. I have been to many places, and I have learned many things that you must have never tried before." Rhodes said proactively.

"Really? Then I'll trouble you!" Fulla said happily, and gave the rabbit in her hand to Rhodes. "The kitchen is on the left hand side of the door."

You're welcome.

Rhodes went to the kitchen.

The missing seasonings can be directly realized, and I feel that I will be able to make a delicious dish.

But why don't I manifest directly?
With a thought in Rhodes' mind, several dishes exuding fragrance and heat appeared on the table.

After waiting for a few minutes, he brought the dish back to the hut and put it on a table in the living room of the hut.

"You can eat it," Rhodes said.

"Why so fast? Are you sure you are familiar with it?" Fulla said with a face full of surprise.

The middle-aged man glanced at the dishes on the table and made a judgment, "It's all cooked and ready to eat."

"It's really something we haven't eaten before. It's delicious." After taking a sip, Fulla's eyes lit up. She took a spoonful from the dish, ran to the middle-aged man and stretched the spoon out In front of him, he was gasping for breath while saying, "Father, come and taste it too."

The middle-aged man glanced at Rhodes with some embarrassment, and then ate the shredded rabbit meat with pepper in the spoon. He blushed and coughed a few times, "It's so spicy!"

"I'm actually more afraid of spicy food than I am." Fulla couldn't help laughing.

Rhodes took out a large bottle of iced Coke from under the table, poured a glass, and handed it to him.

"A drink with a very strange taste." The middle-aged man commented after taking a sip.

"I want to drink too." Fulla said, staring at the bubbling Coke in front of her eyes.

The middle-aged man smiled and poured her a glass too. After taking a sip, Fulla's eyes lit up, and she took a few more sips in a row.

"Sit down and eat together, don't just stand around." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Rhodes nodded and sat on the bench. He picked up the chopsticks and tasted the shredded rabbit meat that was so spicy that the middle-aged man coughed just now.

Not spicy at all, or tasteless at all.

Knowing that these foods are manifested, they cannot deceive his senses, and he cannot taste any taste from them.

I believe this middle-aged man is also like this, but he is still trying to cover up, pretending that this world is real.

Rhodes felt that his body was gradually becoming blurred.

The next moment he opened his eyes, and found the Chief Grand Maester standing in front of his bed, the sun outside the window had just risen.

"Time to get up and work."

"What time is it?"

"I wonder how someone as young as you can sleep?"

Rhode sat up helplessly from the bed.
