Chapter 1080 The Drunken Old Man (1/2)
When the old man showed up, Darren turned around to get a good look at him. He was met with an expression full of fear and shock on the old man's face.
'Is this old man really not a big shot?' Darren thought.
”Don't you have any idea what this is?”
”How am I supposed to know where the scarlet monster came from?!” Without thinking, the old man stepped back and instinctively hid behind Darren.
Darren kept silent. After some observation, he concluded that the Shura should be restrained for some time. During this window of opportunity, he should do his best to find the World Essence.
”Let's go. Just ignore him,”
Darren said as he walked towards the lake. The old man wordlessly tailed Darren, shivering.
In front of Hiram's tomb, Darren stood contemplatively. He stared into nowhere, deep in thought.
”Sir, did anyone ask you to relay a message, or any instructions before sending you here?” Darren said as he spun around to face the old man.
Seeing Darren's stern face, the old man was lost in thought for a moment before he finally spoke.
”Now that you mention it, that man did give a few orders to me. But alas, I'm too old to remember what they were.”
”Who was it that asked you to come here? How long have you been here?” Darren asked.
”Honestly, I can't remember how long it has been. Though I do remember the man who brought me here. He was a young man, donning some dazzling cyan armor. Yes, he also looked very handsome and well built. There wasn't a grave when I first arrived here,” the old man said.
”What?”
Darren's eyes widened when he realized just how long the old man had been here. Based on what he recounted, the old man had been living in the bronze coffin for millions of years!
It was baffling. If he possessed an ordinary human body, how could he have lived for millions of years? Even a holy emperor could only live for one million years at most.
”It's quite eerie. After I came here, time seems to have stopped. I don't even know how old I am anymore. I've stayed the same,” the old man murmured. His voice trailed off as he spoke. It was as if he was falling back into deep thought.
”No wonder you're forgetful.”
Darren understood now. Millions of years had passed. Of course the old man couldn't recall what happened.
However, it also became clear to Darren that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. The young man in cyan armor who brought him to this place should be Hiram the Great.
in thought. Besides that, he would also visit Hiram the Great's tomb with a downcast look.
