I, the final BOSS of the beta test server!

The bone-chilling coldness shrouded by death disappeared, and the darkness in the vision was also driven away by the light.

The flame of life, like a candle in the wind, no longer flickered, and the vitality no longer drained from his body.

At the same time, look at the line of light blue text.

Information about Paradise flooded his mind, and he finally understood what the Queen of the Underworld had done.

paradise--

This small country located in the far north of the continent is called "Paradise" because it is isolated from the world.

The plague of the Iron Cross, the beast tide of the desolate land, the evil cult, and even the pollution of the evil god... none of them have anything to do with paradise.

In this respect, Paradise seems to be more stable than the city where the Guardian Spire is located and protects it.

Because the security that the former relies on is nothing more than the deterrent power of having a legend in charge of the Shore Guard headquarters... If the Shore Guard organization declines or moves its headquarters one day, then this protection and deterrent power for the surrounding city-states will naturally no longer exist.

Paradise is different. It does not have the same strong deterrent power as the Shore Guard headquarters... but it has never been invaded by evil cults, iron crosses, and beast tides.

This is a pure land isolated from the world.

Just like the Peach Blossom Spring in Rast's previous life, it is isolated from the wars, chaos and disasters of the outside world.

It is for this reason that the refugees on the mainland who are unable to seek shelter at the Shore Watchers' headquarters regard Paradise as their last refuge and safe haven.

Countless people came from the outside world and entered this small country which they called Paradise, hoping that they would be the lucky ones chosen and blessed by the Queen of Paradise, so that they could be baptized with blessings and truly become a member of Paradise, independent of the disasters and chaos of the outside world.

Including the identity that Rast used when he disguised himself and sneaked into the paradise to participate in the palace maid assessment. He was a refugee who was forced into desperation by the beast tide and the Iron Cross in the outside world and fled to the paradise.

but.

How could such an isolated and transcendent position not come at a price?

The so-called paradise is actually the kingdom of the dead and the souls.

And the so-called lucky ones who were chosen and blessed——

In fact, it is just that it has transformed into a dead soul that has been deprived of its fate, and has truly integrated into the underworld and become a member of the underworld.

Because they had lost their vitality and became the dead and the ghosts, both the Iron Cross and the Desolate Beast Tide lost interest in them.

After all, whether it is the Iron Cross or the Beast Tide, the objects they desire to abuse are living beings with flesh and blood, not dead undead.

Therefore, even evil cults and evil gods have never paid attention to Paradise.

Because they are a group of undead souls who have lost their future and all possibilities... To the evil gods and cults, they have lost their value, whether as sacrifices or as corrupted believers.

To some extent, the existence of paradise and the night world is somewhat similar.

This is the kingdom of the dead, where the souls of the dead wander with the phantoms of the past, a underworld that belongs only to the dead.

For thousands of years in this era, this underworld kingdom has existed in this form.

Just over a hundred years ago, with the outbreak of the catastrophe...

Countless refugees regarded this place as a refuge and flocked into the paradise. They had not yet been blessed and truly become part of the underworld.

In this way, this paradise of the dead has been given a little more vitality.

This underworld could have lasted forever...

If only—the source of this underworld, that relic of the god of death, had not been targeted by the Gravekeeper.

"Why would you refuse?"

"It's obviously the only way you can be safe."

"Stay here, stay with me forever, and protect you."

Helen stared at Last's face, her beautiful dark purple eyes full of confusion.

She has lived in this palace since she was born.

Use your power to bless your subjects.

Let them be baptized by the power of death, and then be reborn from their original fragile and vulnerable life forms into an immortal posture.

And this eternity——

It is her kindness and gentleness as a king.

That's why Helen wanted to use her own power to bless Last as well.

Because in her eyes, Last's current posture was too fragile.

Like a fragile piece of art.

There is no need for any external force to touch it. As time goes by, such a flesh and blood body will gradually become old and ugly.

Only by using his own power to transform him into the form of a dead person can Rast be truly safe and stay by his side forever.

Just like the maids and other subjects in this country whom she had blessed before.

Helen didn't know why, but when she saw the face of the young man in front of her, the thought of protecting him subconsciously emerged in her mind.

But for the Queen of the Underworld, the best way to protect the other person is naturally to turn him into an eternally immortal dead and keep him by her side forever.

In the words of Rast's world, it is a carefully treasured—

Figures

Rast had no idea what kind of life this Queen of the Underworld, who looked and acted so similar to Axia, had gone through to develop such a distorted worldview.

but.

"No, Your Majesty."

Last's face was extremely pale, which was the aftereffect of having brushed with death and having his life stripped away by the Word Spirit.

But his voice was extremely firm: "I once thought that—"

"Endless time and the ability to maintain the most beautiful appearance forever are the greatest gifts from heaven."

"But that's not the case."

Luster shook his head slightly.

A smile appeared on that pale face: "Born, grew up——"

"Then we decline and grow old, and move towards death...experiencing joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, sorrow, separation and reunion—this is the beauty that is unique to creatures like humans whose lives are so short."

“It is precisely because people grow old and die that humans are so lovable and noble.”

He looked seriously at the girl with ice-blue hair in front of him.

"The laughter of young children as they show off their awards to their parents on their way home from school."

"Outside the delivery room, the anxiety and urgency of waiting for news from his wife and child."

"When I was very old and could no longer walk, I sat in a wheelchair, watching the sunset and the fallen leaves on the mountain, and smiled at my wife."

"These are the kinds of life that only fragile and short-lived humans can experience..."

"It's something that those eternal and immortal beings above us can never understand, let alone empathize with."

Rast paused. "And the eternal blessing bestowed by Your Majesty can freeze life at the most beautiful moment."

"But to me, it's just a butterfly specimen in a museum."

"Exquisite and beautiful, yet cold and rigid, unworthy of being compared with their counterparts flying in the sky."

……

Listen to Rast's words.

The queen with long ice-blue hair had a slightly fixed gaze in her dark purple eyes.

As the queen of the underworld, no matter if they are servants or subjects... everyone treats her with the utmost respect.

For the first time in her life, she heard someone contradict her.

This strange feeling made Helen feel a little stunned, but at the same time, her attention was unconsciously attracted by Last's words.

The icy blue words appeared hesitantly: "Beauty that belongs only to humans?"

She subconsciously turned her head and glanced at the fairy tale books that she had carefully hidden behind the throne.

Those old books were stacked in an inconspicuous corner.

Although she had flipped through the book many times, Helen still left a crease on it when she was interrupted by the maid just now.

"Ah."

Luster nodded, and he looked outside the palace -

The unchanging city scenery shrouded in the sunset.

"Your Majesty, this world is not just about this royal city and its palaces."

“There are many wonderful things that are about to happen, waiting for you to experience.”

"For example, the vast ocean, or the forest at sunset..."

"For example, the endless golden fields, the magical academy with talking ferrets and gorillas wearing gold-rimmed glasses..."

"For example, kissing and hugging."

"besides……"

There was a slight pause in his words.

“The moment when a boy meets a girl and they fall in love.”

In the frozen dusk.

The queen with long ice-blue hair suddenly had a faint light flashing in her gray eyes.

Chapter 104: Rust, Read Me a Story (Two in One)

The heavy rain poured down, shrouding the royal city outside the palace in misty rain, making it difficult to see clearly.

The world is silent, with only the roar of the storm remaining.

Rast stood between the thrones, watching the rain falling heavily outside the palace.

There was no such thing as floor-to-ceiling windows in this palace located in the center of the royal city.

But the raindrops from outside fluttered in, but they stagnated in the dim light of the palace and could not move forward any further.

Even though the rain was pouring down, the throne room remained spotless.

A week had passed since he disguised himself and sneaked into the royal city of Paradise and arrived at the palace.

Ever since the near-death experience when they first met, the queen of the underworld seemed to have given up the idea of ​​blessing Rast and turning him into an immortal dead man to stay by her side forever.

Instead, he settled for the next best thing and made him his personal attendant.

It was as if she could only feel at ease if she kept Last within her sight and could see him at all times.

This feeling is hard to describe... It's like a child catching a beautiful butterfly in the wild, and initially wants to make it into an exquisite specimen, to freeze that beauty forever.

After being stopped by his parents, he put the butterfly in a plastic box and carried it with him at all times. He even secretly took it out to look at it from time to time during class, for fear that the butterfly would die.

Rust is the butterfly, and Helen is the insect catcher.

"fruit"

An ice-blue trajectory suddenly appeared in mid-air.

Then it converged into two characters, slowly jumping in front of Last's eyes.

The moment he saw the words, Rast quickly stood up.
