Chapter 166: It Takes a Long Time
In the Firenin School, Ken begs the Kisen Staff to save his sister.
This shocked the Firenin School members, who had never expected them to dare say such a thing.
Seraph sighed inwardly. [Why are you so stubborn? If this guy gets upset, things will get even more chaotic. That kid was originally sentenced to death. To calm the people here, the only way to calm their anger is to direct it towards that kid and these people. Maybe...]
Seraph turned to look at the Firenin School members, their faces filled with resentment. The cause of the Firenin Village's disappearance was Ken's sister.
Spending a life for something he didn't do intentionally still has consequences.
The Firenin School members didn't hide their expressions, but their anger was faint.
[These people probably want their sister, the one who caused the trouble, to die and their brother, the one who caused it, to disappear as well.
This is also a human emotion. They will still have compassion. Killing people, the more compassion they have, the more they will be merciful. That will be embedded in the bones, to continue doing so, just like the vengeful spirit that harms those she loves, inevitably bringing them back together.
A simple example would be a young girl who had a nun and got drunk. Unknowingly drunk, she accidentally hit and killed someone. Therefore, it wouldn't be right to say she wasn't involved, because the cause was the alcohol. Yours truly did that. But for this child, it's probably more likely that she drank without realizing she was drunk.
The wrong doesn't go away. As long as people aren't punished, the story won't end. At the very least, this place won't welcome these two brothers.
If the root cause isn't removed, the trust this place holds will disappear. It wasn't intentional, so what if what happened was wrong?
The Firenin sect members secretly looked at Xixuan, wondering what to do.
Xixuan shook his head, suggesting that this person speak.
The sound of the Kisen staff rang out. "This matter has nothing to do with me. Send someone to the Silent Forest." Inform your people before my wrath begins."
The Kisen Staff threatened, urging the Firenin Clan to take action.
The Firenin Clan hurried to report the situation. The gray roots began to return little by little.
Xixuan remained standing, waiting for the Kisen Staff to leave the place.
Ken heard the Kisen Staff's refusal. The wall, built with steps, collapsed under the Kisen Staff's refusal.
The way to save his sister had disappeared.
Ken looked down at the ground, tears streaming down his face. There was no hope left.
"Ah, it's over. My sister can't survive. I'm sorry, brother. I'm weak.
I'm sorry. If I hadn't left her then, none of this would have happened.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Ken repeated the words over and over, his face turning sad and angry.
Seraph quickly turned away, as if to say, I'm not involved, so don't mess with me.
Ken's face showed anger, his eyes bloodshot, his hands clenched tightly.
Ken's hands slowly wiped away the tears, one by one.
Ken wiped them all away and looked up at the Kisen Staff.
His right hand was raised, pointing at the Kisen Staff.
A heavy breath followed by a shout.
"Take responsibility! It came from the Silent Forest. If you live there, you must take responsibility. My sister has nothing to do with it.
The creature that possessed my sister came from there, you blue-eyed bastard!"
The screaming echoed throughout the room, echoing with Ken's voice.
Seraph watched the fight, not looking back. [Let's just say that, establishing responsibility. The story originally started because of the curse from the Silent Forest.
Please leave, I have nothing to do with it. If I speak in this situation, things will get worse. Shut up for now, old man. Your eyes are out of the coffin. I'm an outsider. Don't look at me!?]
Seraph ignored Sixuan's gaze, which was directed at him. "What should I do? You guys know me better than me."
So, please go stop him. Sixuan was just as he'd said.
Seraph continued to watch the battle from afar, but because it was so far away, he could only see the grandeur of the blue, red, black, and yellow lights amidst the rising sun.
Sixuan spoke to Ken to shut up. "Ken, let's leave that for later. Don't bother Lord Kisen."
Sixuan's gaze locked on Ken.
Ken secretly glanced at Sixuan as he stood facing the Kisen staff.
Many blue eyes appeared around the room. Blue eyes opened, staring at Ken. Blue eyes reflected Ken's image.
Seraph looked at the blue eyes, arms clasped together. Seraph stands with arms crossed, both eyes closed.
Along with the strong wind, Seraph's golden hair swayed.
[This isn't looking good. Don't let me get out yet. If I had known, I should have followed the Firenin Clan out. Originally, when...
This cage, someone will open it for me to get out. Those guys are leaving me behind. At least let them break the cage first. How am I supposed to escape?]
Seraph still had the cage, locked in, with his eyes closed, refusing to interfere.
The sound of the Kisen staff rang out. "It's true that that thing is the curse of the Silent Forest. What right do you have to give me orders?"
Ken raised a finger, his index finger pointing at the Kisen staff. "My sister's privacy. You're saying that place isn't your responsibility. Do it. Show us that you...
are not a threat. The Firenin Clan attacked us, meaning there's a possibility of danger to us.
That thing came from your forest. Take responsibility.
How can we trust each other if you don't take responsibility? Bring my sister back, you piece of wood!
Your place, since you can't take responsibility for it, doesn't belong to you. Give it to me, if that's all you can do!! „
Seraph, even with your eyes closed, doesn't cover your ears. [This is how it is. Dragging everyone here as a burden. It's just as expected. Since that place created this kind of existence.]
What kind of fool would the Flairin clan be to allow such a dangerous forest, capable of creating such an existence, to remain? And when such an existence is released,
This side must take another risk. It's a waste. One day, that place will disappear. A silent forest. When it's in its territory, people won't care.
But when it shows that it can invade like this and doesn't eliminate it, this side will be eliminated.
Evil. This is the kind of helpless person who can say anything. The more you're cornered, the more there's no other choice.
Then draw your sword and cut down your enemies. At least I'll drag you all down to hell with me. Even if everything is bad, at least we'll all be together in hell. But I'll probably go to heaven because I haven't done too much evil and done a little good.]
Xixuan's face tensed again after a brief moment of relief. He couldn't tell which sound was louder, the explosion or his heartbeat.
The sound of his heart beating loudly, thump thump thump thump thump.
Xixuan opened his mouth, about to speak hastily.
Kisen's staff spoke up, "That's true. Come on, little one. I'll help you. But let me tell you, the creature that possessed your sister wasn't created by us.
It came from outside. It seems to exist and is imitating me. It might take a long time to break that curse.
It'll take a long time to break that curse, and your sister, and all memories of you or those around her, will be gone.
Can you accept that?"
Kisen's staff accepted Ken's help, but the healing process would take a long time to break the curse. So, killing him is the best option.
Ken nodded and bowed his head in thanks. "How long will it take?"
"According to the quickest calculations, that curse will take about seven hundred years."
Ken heard the number, his face remained calm, but a smile still appeared. "Is that so?"
