How do I break the team invitation from my old enemy?

The atmosphere on the top floor of the tower froze the moment they recognized each other.

Lin Wei looked at Juanyu, trying to find those familiar things in his eyes.

No.

No, it can't be said that he is not familiar with it, he is very familiar with it-very familiar in his previous life.

This person is completely the same person in his previous life.

This realization made him feel chills all over his body. One moment ago, he was wandering in the fragrant rose garden in the summer night of the imperial capital, and in the next instant he was in the wilderness on the battlefield at dusk, where the cold wind was blowing under the setting sun.

The man walked towards him step by step, with the black window sill behind him, and the crescent moon hanging high in the sky behind the window.

There was scrutiny in his eyes, as if seeing himself for the first time.

That's right, because now I am rewinding the time to the appearance of at least ten years later - the appearance of a boy I have never seen in my previous life.

It was Juan Yu who spoke first: "You are not an undead."

The difference in height is a little bigger than before due to the difference in time trajectory.If Lin Weiruo wanted to look at him at such a distance, his posture would be almost looking up.

He took a few steps back: "Yeah."

The man looked at him with cold eyes: "But you are dead too."

——That's right, he was indeed dead.Lin Wei then knew that this person really didn't have any memory of this life, and his time stopped at the moment when the two died together on the wasteland.

Under those gazes, he felt a kind of fear that came from nowhere, and he turned his head away: "It has nothing to do with you."

There was relatively nothing for a while, only the sound of the wind echoing outside the tower.

Lin Wei suddenly asked, "What are you doing here?"

He couldn't confirm whether this person would answer him, after all, the two of them couldn't even be called "friends".

The man was silent for a while, then answered.

"Wait someone."

"Who?" Lin Wei found his voice bitter.

Under the moonlight, the black-robed and silver-haired lich shook his head.

"how long?"

no answer.

Lin Wei looked out the window, and the crescent moon was there, always there, neither rising nor sinking.

In this world, there is no day, only night, no life, only death, no birth of memory, only gradual oblivion.

This man just stood there at night, not knowing how long it had been, not knowing why he came here, and not knowing what to do.Only something engraved deep in his soul told him that you are going to a place and waiting for someone.

So he didn't become one of the liches wandering around in the wilderness, but built a tower here, waiting for someone who didn't know what he looked like.

Lin Wei bit his lower lip, this realization made him sad as if he would cry in the next moment.

Adele's soft voice passed through time and space and emerged in his ears.

"Lin Wei, to become a qualified summoner, you must first know the soul." She closed the book with a black cover in her hand: "Space, time, and soul, these are the three things that magicians have not yet seen the whole picture of." .But one thing is clear—the soul does not belong to space nor to time, it is only one, and it is outside everything."

But he couldn't, couldn't connect these two people together.

Even after leaving that world, magic and continents no longer exist, and they have no reason to be hostile—but they also have no reason to be close, just like two people who have had very, very unpleasant memories, extremely familiar and unfamiliar .

The few steps back before had already made Lin Wei stand outside the door.

"Sorry for disturbing you."

He closed the door and shut himself out.

Facing the slammed door, the Lich showed a specious confusion in his indifferent eyes.

Lin Wei leaned his back against the wall and closed his eyes, as if in this way he could isolate the man's suffocating attraction, the heavy oppression that seemed to be real.

Two kinds of memories are intertwined, soft and hard, intertwined, torn and tormented.

This was the first time in his life that he fell into such a huge loss.

After an unknown amount of time, when he finally felt the coldness of this world, the chill had already pierced his bones.

Where there is no sunlight, the moon is cold, and the wind is also cold. The magic circle on the robe is completely useless in the pure dark elemental environment, and it is difficult for living people to survive in the world of the undead.

He took out a fire spar and tried to activate it, but he couldn't.The rich dark element covered the fire spar just after it was taken out of the ring, so that the heat of the fire element in it could not be revealed. The cold wind screamed, accompanied by the sound of the death crow's wings, It was like a strange laugh after another.

Unable to suppress his anger, sadness, and grievance at that moment, he threw the spar the size of his fist on the ground, and hugged his knees and curled up in a windless corner.

The crystal stone collided with the pitch-black ground, made a few dull bangs, and remained motionless.

After an unknown amount of time, there was the creaking sound of the door shaft turning in the empty corridor, and the footsteps gradually approached, and one hand picked up the spar on the ground.

The Lich formed a barrier around him to isolate the dark elements, arousing the crimson spar, which radiated warmth and luster in the darkness.

Lin Wei in the corner raised his head in a daze, and saw Juan Yu standing in front of him.

The Lich silently handed the spar in front of him.

He took it, and touched his hands, the lich's fingers did not have any warmth, only the fingertips were contaminated with a bit of nostalgic warmth due to the contact with the spar.When you meet, it's like meeting, and when you separate, it's like parting. It's thrilling.

The temperature of the flame leaped in the palm of his hand, thawing the blood that was almost frozen, and he gradually recovered his senses that were dulled by the cold.

He thanked him, and felt that he was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to raise his head.

If the person in front of him is that one, he has nothing to fear, and will only rely on favors to ask for more favors.But once this person's identity becomes the old enemy of the past and today's stranger, he will be vigilant and afraid, weak and unwilling to show weakness, wanting to approach and flee.

"You still lost," he said to himself silently in his heart, with a hint of despair: "Whether it's on the battlefield or in the field of love."

——A crushing defeat.

After admitting this on his own accord, he was no longer so afraid of losing face in front of this person, only a stubborn resistance remained, restraining himself from speaking proactively to annoy others.

The lich spoke, asking him similar questions.

"Why are you here?"

He muffled: "Look for someone."

"Who?"

"You don't know."

As soon as he said this angry sentence, he regretted so much that he wanted to bite off his tongue.

That person was really blocked by such a sentence, and he didn't speak anymore.

Lin Wei knew that this person would not stay here meaninglessly.

Once he has nothing to say, he will turn around and leave.

And once you leave, there is really nothing left to say.

"Do you want to go back?" He raised his head, looked at Duanyu, and asked.

"mainland?"

"Well, the mainland," Lin Wei said, "I can't directly open the way back, but I know where to find it."

He thought that the allure of these words was still very strong. After all, resurrection is to the dead, just like eternal life is to gods.

Unexpectedly, Duan Yu was silent for a while, but said: "No."

"……why?"

"no need."

Lin Wei looked at him for a long time, but then smiled slightly.

The smile is very faint, but it is real, and it is infected on the brows and the corners of the eyes.

Juanyu only answered a simple "no need", but he understood at that moment.

If at that time, after activating the forbidden spell "Alloying Gold", he died and miraculously did not have his soul dissipated, but came here, some people said that if he could take him back, he probably would not return.

Because "it's not necessary".

In his entire life in his previous life, everything he did was out of "necessity", to protect the family, to be loyal to His Majesty, to lead the army, and to be hostile to the magical world.

Since life is like a pool of stagnant water, death is not so terrible.

And the distant continent is in ruins, the family is no longer there, the empire has been severely damaged, magic has perished, and there is no need for him to exist.

He looked into Duanyu's calm eyes, and suddenly felt a bit of sympathy.

He thought, it turns out that your life was also pushed to the end by "necessity", and it was not so willing - and it was also... a little annoying.

He looked at Duanyu, lowered his eyes uncomfortably, and avoided it.

"I'm done," he thought desperately again. "Even now, I want to hug him."

Calm and scrutinizing eyes fell on Lin Wei, and the violations emerged one by one in Lich's heart.

"What happened?" he asked.

Lin Wei: "...what?"

"You shouldn't live and be weird."

"Also," he organized his words, "you have become smaller."

Lin Wei almost laughed out loud at the leader's poor vocabulary.

"I'm not here, no one is talking to you, and you've grown like this," he thought to himself. "The other you know that this change should be called 'younger' instead of 'smaller.'"

"A great thing has indeed happened." He said truthfully: "The kind that cannot be imagined."

The oracle awaits his next words.

He raised his face and said seriously, "But I won't tell you."

Judgment: "..."

Lin Wei had almost warmed up, stood up holding the spar, and came to the stairs: "Follow me, and then you will know."

He suddenly felt a little regretful, in case he didn't have any interest in knowing about Juan Yu, it would be very embarrassing for him to force himself to stay.

The silver-haired lich took a few steps in his direction, meaning to follow.

Lin Wei walked down the stairs, left the tower, and stood on the wilderness under the moonlight, watching Duanyu also walk out of the tower.

"You... wait for no one?" He asked softly.

The Lich shook his head, eyes slightly confused.

It seemed that at a certain moment just now, the bond that kept me here that came from nowhere suddenly disappeared.

"Then don't wait," Lin Wei said in a low voice, "I...don't look for it either."
