When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

"Nothing is real, everything is permitted..."

Ezio pondered the meaning of these two sentences, with both understanding and some doubt in his eyes.

After a while, he looked up at Altaïr and asked, "If we are not bound by worldly morality and laws, then, does that mean that we can use any means to achieve our goals?"

Hearing this question, Altaïr came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and said solemnly: "If that is your understanding, then you are going against Lord Lithern's original intention."

He pointed at the second half of the sentence on the note on the ground and explained, "Lord Lisern said that freedom and restraint are opposites and unity. Although we are on the side of freedom, it does not mean that we are free from restraint."

“Not only do the goals we pursue constrain us, but in this sentence, the previous words are also constrained by the following words.”

Altaïr's fingertips rested on the words "Walk in Darkness, Serve the Light".

"Since this is an act of serving the light, then we cannot do things like killing innocent people in order to achieve our goals. If we do, we will also bear the corresponding consequences."

"And..." Altaïr looked at Ezio seriously, "Sometimes, the moral code in our hearts is not so easy to abandon. Self-restraint is also a kind of restraint. What we need to do is to look down on the moral kidnapping that our enemies use to restrain us."

In the preaching just now, the older Altaïr seemed to have a deeper understanding than the young nobleman in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Ezio immediately looked thoughtful.

Just as the two were discussing and verifying with each other, there was a sudden commotion outside the tent, as if something had happened.

Altaïr and Ezio looked at each other, then quickly stood up and walked out.

As soon as they opened the curtain, they saw the red-eyed girl with waist-length hair standing in front of a tent emitting golden light, seemingly hesitating whether to go in.

......

After an unknown amount of time of floating in the void, the consciousness finally regained awareness of the body.

Li Shanren, lying on the ground, moved his fingers and slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing the familiar tent roof, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat up, and looked down at the golden apple.

The culprit that had put him in such a predicament actually had a crack on its surface, and all the delicate lines centered on it were shattered.

Li Shanren's face changed and he clutched the golden apple tightly, looking nervous.

I haven't bothered you yet, why are you breaking apart?

How can we return this to Altaïr and Ezio? !

Just as Li Shanren was in distress, Tifa's concerned voice came from outside the tent.

"Liseon, are you... okay in there?"

"I... I'm fine. I was just testing some magic and something went wrong." Li Shanren responded quickly.

He didn't dare let others see the golden apple cracked...

The slender figure outside the tent seemed to feel relieved after hearing this.

"Dinner is almost ready, do you want me to bring your portion over?"

"No...No, I'll be out in a minute."

After seeing Tifa leave, Li Shanren looked down at the golden apple again with a sad face.

However, he soon discovered that the crack seemed to be healing at an extremely slow pace. At the same time, the rune power in his body was also slowly dissipating.

Could it be that Rune could repair the golden apple?

Li Shanren was delighted when he noticed this scene.

Afterwards, he didn't care whether it would really work or not, and just tried his best to pour the rune power in his body into the golden apple.

With the rune power that Li Shanren actively injected, the golden apple's repair speed was indeed much faster, and it slowly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But correspondingly, the remaining ten thousand runes in Li Shanren's body were also being consumed at an extremely fast rate.

But it reached the bottom in just two or three breaths.

Li Shanren's eyes jumped, and he quickly took out two level 10 rune fragments, crushed them, and replenished 10,000 runes.

However, these ten thousand runes only restored the golden apple to half.

Next, Li Shanren invested more than 20,000 runes into it before the golden apple was completely restored.

A golden light flashed on the surface of the restored golden apple, and the halo faintly revealed a mark made up of four perfect circles, and then it dimmed.

Li Shanren finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, it's finally fixed.

But then, he smiled bitterly.

"It was clearly a one-time right to use the product obtained through a transaction, but after using it, they invested more than 40,000 runes into it. What kind of thing is this?"

For him now, more than 40,000 runes are enough for him to level up two more times.

After making fun of himself, Li Shanren recalled the scenes he had just seen, and his expression gradually became uncertain.

Of course he knew what he was seeing.

In the first six times of consciousness travel, there were clearly six different endings at the border.

They are the world destroyed by mad fire, the dark night of stars, the world of decline, the world of death and birth, the world of curse, and the world of law.

The scene that he saw at the end of the journey did not belong to any of the endings at the border. It was as if some terrifying existence had forcibly taken away the Elden Ring.

Li Shanren was naturally shocked when he saw these scenes.

"Are those... scenes from the future? Or... things that have already happened? Or are they just images deduced based on the memories in my mind?"

Li Shanren guessed in doubt.

Perhaps it was because he injected the power of runes into the golden apple that he was unable to obtain the inheritance of the Invisible Ones, and instead unexpectedly saw another scene.

But no matter what the speculation is, the six possible endings at the border given by the golden apple do not seem to be very good.

At the same time, those are also the six different endings given in the game.

There is no need to mention the four bad endings of destruction, decline, curse, and death. Even in the seemingly better ending of the law, the person on the throne seems to have lost his humanity and turned into a pure judgment machine.

The ending of the starry night that followed the girl seemed to have pushed the border area into eternal darkness, and the three moons that appeared at the end made Li Shanren even more surprised and puzzled.

This feature is so obvious!

Isn't this the "Moon God" believed in by the Holy Church of this world?

Could it be that the ending is that the border land is sold to the "Moon God"?

But how can the "Moon God" of this world reach the border area?

Li Shanren thought with a slightly heavy breathing.

Soon, he thought of the key point and suddenly looked up at a certain place on the top of the tent.

If the tent was removed, he would be able to see an ice-blue moon in the night sky in the direction he was looking.

And at the border, beyond the obstruction of the branches and leaves of the golden tree, there is also a moon.

The positions of the two in the sky are extremely close.

However, the moon at the border was almost invisible because the light from the golden tree was too bright.

"Could it be that...the two worlds are actually very close to each other?"

Li Shanren guessed without any certainty.

"Or is it the same world?!"

Li Shanren had a bolder guess in his mind.

But soon, he shook his head in denial.

"Impossible. The people in this world don't even know about pyroxene magic. Their extraordinary paths are self-contained and their languages ​​have nothing in common..."

More importantly, there are no golden trees in this world, and the people here don’t seem to have heard of the name “Faded Ones”, and there is no information about the border area.

In contrast, he was willing to believe that these were two adjacent worlds, and the moon was a witness to it.

Of course, the premise is that what the golden apple shows him has a certain degree of authenticity. If it is just a false illusion, then all his speculations are meaningless.

In addition to the ending of "Starry Night", the last scene that Li Shanren saw undoubtedly also made him very concerned.

The figure was wearing a dark purple robe. Under the robe, he could vaguely see a skeleton.

This immediately reminded Li Shanren of the "Skeleton King" he had encountered in the cemetery ruins near Olin City.

In addition, the water proverb also reminded him not to provoke the "skeleton".

Li Shanren immediately connected the three together.

"That guy... seems to be more difficult than I thought."

Li Shanren's face looked a little ugly.

Judging from the other party's last words, the Skeleton King seemed to have the ability to kill people completely and make them unable to be resurrected.

The images Li Shanren saw and the words he heard through the golden apple were distorted.

Therefore, he could not be sure that he was the owner of those perspectives.

But given the current situation, let’s just treat it as myself.

After all, apart from him, there is no one else in this world who can go to the border.

If that is the scene of the future, or the deduced scene, or a bolder guess, it is the scene of the so-called "parallel time and space".

For Li Shanren, the revealed endings were not very friendly.

No matter which one he chose, it was not ideal, and it made him feel as if he was being suffocated by fate.

The more he recalled those scenes, the more uneasy and confused he felt.

Li Shanren lowered his head and gritted his teeth slightly. His breathing was heavy and his face looked ugly. His chest felt like it was blocked by red-hot charcoal, and it was stuffy and hot.

Suddenly, a call came from outside the tent.

"Lord Lithen, can we come in?"

It was Altaïr's voice.

Hearing this voice, Li Shanren's heavy breathing paused slightly, and suddenly relaxed.

He closed his eyes and said silently in his heart: Everything is empty, everything is allowed.

Don't get lost because of a few scenes, and don't be cowardly because of a few signs. The important thing is to grasp the present moment.

He seemed to be comforting himself with this proverb.

Afterwards, Li Shanren shook his head vigorously, and when he opened his eyes again, his expression had returned to calm.

"Please come in."

He said to the people outside.
