A few words that mean spending the latter half of one’s life relying on this joke to survive?
Wayne didn’t quite understand, comparing it to Anastasia’s negative attitude towards life, he let Saina strike while the iron was hot and extract some more information.
"Anastasia, what are you here for, to find the Dark Knight?" Saina frowned and said.
"You have so many questions today, I didn’t know you cared about me so much?"
I couldn’t care less about you!
Saina thought indignantly and then turned to ask Wayne why he was so concerned about Anastasia. What’s so great about a dark-skinned elf? Pay more attention to her instead!
And taking ten thousand steps back, think about your fiancée, girlfriend, lover, secretary, darling, first love...
Aren’t all these people enough for you?
How can you talk to the master like that!
Wayne snorted inwardly. He wasn’t lusting after Anastasia’s body; after all, he already had it in his possession. To avoid any misunderstanding of his character by Saina, he roughly explained through telepathic transmission.
"You might not believe this, but I have her body, it was a coincident chance, and we are about to arrive at the Icebound Continent..."
So there was such a thing!
You’re amazing, master, I love you to death!
Saina’s eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn’t help but smile at the corners of her mouth.
After saying so much, it turns out that everyone is the same, both Anastasia and her body have been tainted; the difference is that she is beyond salvation, whereas Anastasia still has hope.
How can I let you have hope? If we die, we die together!
Saina didn’t want to be the only one unlucky. With the mindset of dragging one down to even the score, or dragging down two to come out ahead, she strongly insisted that Wayne return Anastasia’s body.
It’s not what you think; they’ve been sisters for many years, and she couldn’t bear to watch her close friend act mindlessly. She begged the master to show mercy and take pity on Anastasia.
Give it a rest, is that what you call pity? I’m embarrassed on your behalf to expose you!
Wayne rolled his eyes directly, as Saina had written her thoughts openly in her heart, and he could see them clearly. How could he not know?
Wayne refused this unreasonable request and prohibited Saina from telling Anastasia the truth.
Saina had no choice, as the master’s orders should be obeyed, whether to bring life or to bring several lives. Her thoughts were constrained; unable to continue this topic, she could only stop regretfully.
On the other hand, Anastasia was completely baffled by Saina’s intense changes in expression, seriously suspecting she had gone mad from the Dragon Blood Curse.
By the Goddess above, this is fantastic!
Anastasia’s mood greatly improved. Continuing the previous topic, she said: "I came here to meet the Dark Knight Lord, hand over my duties, and wait for him to guard the seal point, waiting for this crisis to end..."
"My mind has been separate from my body for far too long, and even with the help of the three Knight Lords, I can only ease my pain. That torment is exhausting me, I’m tired of weakening every day, it’s time for me to leave."
"Do you qualify to enter the Divine Nation?" Saina challenged.
"No, I’ve lost too much and can no longer enter the Void, unable to find the way to the Divine Nation."
"So you’re talking about death, right?"
Saina fell silent, reached out to Wayne with telepathic transmission, reasoning with him with facts. They cannot stand by and watch someone die; she followed this by heaping praise on Anastasia’s personal charm and character.
What mercy, what kindness and nobility, brave and loyal, blah blah, after saying thousands of words, he emphasized the dilemma that Anastasia was in right now.
The reason she ended up was to guard justice, she’s a good person!
Quick, save her, good people shouldn’t end up in such a situation!
So, is that your reason to go down with her?
Wayne: Don’t you have any idea of your current situation?
Saina: I am very happy, the future is bright!
Wayne’s head buzzed as he ignored Saina and said to Her Holiness, "A person’s life has many meanings; you shouldn’t casually talk about seeking death."
"Not to hide from you, I knew a friend whose uncle said, ’With great power comes great responsibility!’"
"You can replace the Dark Knight to defend the Icebound Continent, there is no doubt about your strength, you shouldn’t deny the meaning of your life, many people need you."
Wayne tried to give some motivational speech, but it had little effect.
Anastasia shook her head gently, "Mister Wayne, you don’t understand the pain of the mind being detached from the body, I’ve lost balance, lost the possibility of progress, every day lived is a day of despair, I have not rested for sixteen years..."
"As a human I can’t breathe, all I have is a cold shell, unable to enjoy the pleasures of life. As a mage, I can’t practice, I can only watch as I grow weaker, drifting further from my faith..."
"I have reached my limit for holding on, perhaps many people need me, but after struggling for so long, I hope to be selfish for once."
Wayne was at a loss for words, while Saina tried desperately to persuade, so devastated she was almost crying.
You’ve been smiling the whole time!
Wayne, furious beyond measure, shut off Saina’s mic and looked at Anastasia hesitating, "Her Holiness, is there a possibility that you could find your body again?"
Anastasia had already thought this through and said indifferently, "Lord Leo, the retainer of the Sun Knight, has completed his mission, the seal of the Misty Sea is solid, my body has withered, even if it could be found, it’s no longer compatible with my mind due to irreversible evolution."
"If I adapt my mind to the body, I would become a part of the Ancient God’s Kin, and in that case, I would no longer be me; it’s better to maintain my will and dissipate as I am."
"This way, I am still me!"
Saina, with a stern face, spoke from the standpoint of a good sister, "How can you make assumptions about your future without trying? How can you say your mind will change because of the body? Where is your once strong mentality?"
"The Anastasia I know wouldn’t give up; she would firmly believe that her mind could change her body, take back freedom, and always maintain her consciousness!"
It’s better to live a terrible life than to die, just because there’s a pit ahead doesn’t mean it’s pitch black inside. Jump in and see for yourself, there’s no harm in saying it’s dark after you’ve seen it.
Anastasia was quite moved and exclaimed in surprise, "Saina, you’ve really changed, the you from before would never say such things to me, you would only encourage me to die."
Yes, she is indeed encouraging you to die, the kind where you both perish together.
Wayne muttered silently then asked again, "Her Holiness, are you truly resolved to die, prepared to dissipate ?"
"I wish I could be free from this right now."
Anastasia looked at the Dark Knight, she had waited for this day for a very long time, sixteen years to be exact, she did not know how she managed to endure it.
If you want to die, then I’ll fulfill your wish!
Wayne resolved to return things to their rightful owner, thinking that since it’s all about death, it might as well be at his hands.
Thinking positively, someone said that although Anastasia lost her freedom, she did gain life, living in misery!
