Chapter 371 Heart of Thorn Trial

"I, I didn't think so at first."

Caesar said this with great hesitation.

He thought back.

My original intention was to have it all.

But definitely not this kind of deceptive method.

How did I become like this?

Although it was Fudan's suggestion, he probably also had some hope in his heart.

I guess that's what I was thinking, I want to rely on concealment and delay, and then find the best solution.

It is a very greedy idea. You know there will be many problems, but you still choose to do it this way. Is there an element of escape involved?

Although it was only a few days, it still made him feel very uncomfortable.

"So what about you?" Fudan's heart seemed to be caught and was beating nervously.

What do you think?

"What kind of person am I?" Instead of directly answering Fudan's question, Xi Ze asked this question.

"What kind of person are you?" Fudan pondered the question.

"Yeah." Caesar nodded.

"I seem to be very greedy. I want everything and don't want to lose anything." He stretched out his hand and held it in the air. The soft yellow light emitted by the magic lamp above his head seemed to pass through his palm. Did he want to reach out and grab it? But he couldn't catch it.

The light slipped from his palm.

"I'm a bit timid. I don't want to try anything that might lead to consequences I can't bear."

"Yeah." Fudan responded with such a sound through her nose, but she seemed to have no idea what she was thinking.

"Fudan, what do you think?" Caesar asked.

He didn't really want to ask, it seemed like he just wanted to confirm something.

"Although it's only been a few days, it still makes me feel something is wrong." He himself didn't know what he was upset about.

"Now that I think about it, it's all my own fault," he said self-deprecatingly, "I was too greedy. When you made that proposal, I only hesitated for a moment before agreeing."

"That's not what I meant to say..." Fudan wanted to say something, but in the end this was the only answer she gave.

She was also very upset.

"But this was wrong from the beginning. Things that go against one's conscience cannot last long. As long as time goes on, the truth will be revealed sooner or later."

Caesar smiled and said, "My original intention was to be honest about everything. How come it has become like this now?"

"Do you remember that incident, Fudan?"

He whispered to himself, "That's the one. The one I received in the Philolon Forest before, the one to defeat the Purple King Snake."

That commission?

Fudan recalled.

At that time, the equipment in the team was a bit old. As everyone's strength increased, they had to replace it with better equipment, so that they could accept better commissions and speed up everyone's growth.

It can be said that this is the time when the economy is most needed.

So everyone started to take on commissions like crazy, and defeating the Purple King Snake was one of the commissions at that time.

Since the venom of the Purple King Cobra is quite terrifying, in order to avoid risks, the team used funds to purchase the necessary antidotes and the precious life-saving potion [Source of Heavenly Water].

For example, the Adventurer's Guild provides a service for renting life-saving potions. [Heavenly Water Source] is such a potion.

You can use the deposit to rent a bottle of potion. If your life is in danger, you can take the potion and the deposit will become the association's property.

If you don't need it, you can return the potion to the association when you come back. The association will then only take a small portion of the deposit as rental funds.

It can also be said to be an insurance policy for your life.

Unlike now when one can easily take out hundreds of bottles of potions more precious than [Source of Heavenly Water], at that time the top-level Emerald-grade potion [Source of Heavenly Water] was quite expensive to everyone and no one could afford it.

Fortunately, the battle went very smoothly. Under the leadership of Xi Ze, they successfully found a potion in the territory of the Purple King Snake that could be used to increase the damage to the Purple King Snake. They smeared it on the sword and defeated the Purple King Snake easily. No one was injured except Xi Ze who was at the front.

He was slightly poisoned by the purple king cobra's venom, but it wasn't a big problem.

However, the water source was polluted by the toxins of the Purple King Snake. The residents living on both sides of the river pooled their money to fill the commissions posted in the Adventurer's Association, but they could no longer afford more services.

In order to save money, Caesar was reluctant to even drink the anti-poison potion.

Because at that time, Irena's heavy sword was commissioned in advance, and there was a considerable balance to be paid, such as toxins, and she just had to get through it.

Even the Purple King Cobra can't kill itself, so how can a mere poison do that?

He is the king of endurance in the main material world.

But in the end, after Xize's proposal, everyone passed his proposal and dripped the precious [Source of Heavenly Water] into the source of the river.

This is Xi Ze’s “true heart” choice.

This world is different from the game. If it were in the game, he could just leave.

But not here.

Behind them are real lives.

He made the decision to consume the precious potion.

He himself chose to resist the toxin.

The end result was that he suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and was so weak that he could hardly move.

After all, who could have imagined that the two icons of [weakness] and [continuous loss of vitality] in the game would be such a painful thing in reality.

"Well, I remember you vomited for several days in a row." Fu Dan said this. Even though everyone advised him to take medicine, he refused.

After all, for qualified game players, reasonable resource planning is a must, and it is necessary to ensure that the initial money is spent wisely.

The original plan for those days was to rest. Since he was not going to go on a mission, drinking medicine at this time would be a meaningless waste. In the end, only Nellie could stay by his side, constantly casting magic for him, hoping that he would feel better.

Almost half of his vitality was gone at that time, and everyone was very worried. However, although Caesar felt a little regretful, he resolutely refused to drink the medicine.

If I take the medicine now, all the suffering I have endured in the past few days will be in vain.

Even if it saves money, the source of heavenly water still needs to be used. It would be a waste to take medicine when the body is poisoned. It seems a bit like torturing oneself, but these are Caesar's own choices.

Out of his own heart.

The two of them chatted like this, recreating the situation at that time one by one.

"I can't go against my conscience." Caesar said, "I think I can't hide it any longer."

He said so.

"Yeah, it's okay." Fudan was unexpectedly calm.

She just nodded.

"Hey, Caesar, I want to ask that too," she said.

"Is dinner delicious tonight?"

The voice is very soft.

"It's delicious. Thank you for your hard work." Xi Ze said.

"Is that so? That's good." Fudan smiled, "It's worth it that I went out of my way to learn it."

"I understand everything you said."

"I just want to have you a little longer."

"No matter who it is, I don't want to share."

Fudan said so.

There was an expression of regret on her face.

"In that case, let me be willful for once."

There were strange magical fluctuations coming from her body.

"Tonight, just one night."

Fudan said so.

"Just today, you are mine."

The next moment, a pitch-black feather arrow slowly emerged from her heart, with black flames wrapped around it.

And on Fudan's hand, where the ring was worn, there was also a strange flame spreading.
