Chapter 315 - Ethereal Ghost (1/2)
But to Mo Xie's disappointment, it wasn't what he had expected, it's a surge of thick spiritual energy, it's coming from within the center of the ruins.
Mo Xie strode himself through the ruins directly at the center of it all, there, he couldn't believe what he's seeing, a finely kept table, on top of it, a gaming board: ”Is that...”
Mo Xie frowns, he's slightly speechless, because, at the table with two chairs, one of them is actually occupied with something that looked ethereal, a floating white and red light with the figure of an old man.
When Mo Xie came closer, the ethereal figure smiled: ”It had been so long since I've seen a human, come, sit and have a chat with me.”
Unlike its figure, its voice seemed normal, Mo Xie didn't even think as he walked and sat at the other end of the table: ”What is it?”
”Well, don't be in a rush, I'm merely a speck of what I am before, but I should still be treated as an elder.” The ethereal person smiled at Mo Xie but the latter didn't respond.
”Haaa...” He sighed: ”Seriously, the youth of this generation is rushing too much, when I was in that age, I...”
”Well, it's good to be rushing some times, but that still depends on one's own flight.”
”Time lost should be a time well spent, if one rushes too much, they will really lose what is in front of their eyes, the opportunity for love, strength, and many more.”
He looked at Mo Xie and spoke: ”If you look too far ahead, you might miss the important things in front of you.”
”Like?” Mo Xie understood his words, but the old man being too talkative while he's running out of time.
The old man knew what Mo Xie's hinting, he nods his head in understanding it, but decided to play along, he placed his hand on his head: ”Child, you may not believe it, but, I'm quite a great person from my past.”
”Oh.” Mo Xie replied half-heartedly, the only thing preventing him from leaving is, if there will be something the old man might hint him on, like a treasure buried deep within these ruins.
The old man sighed: ”Just... just let me ask ten questions, and I can answer yours too, no matter how many it is.”
Mo Xie: ”...”
”8...” Seeing Mo Xie's silent rejection, the ghost decided to concede.
Mo Xie: ”...”
”Okay, how about five, that's my bottom line, I've got millions of questions, and I'm only asking five, that should be enough.”
Mo Xie looked at the ethereal ghost: ”Oh, just waiting for you to ask your question, I didn't think you'd decrease it on your own.”
The ethereal old wept silently, while the boy smiled at him and asked: ”Okay, what is it that you wish to ask first?”
”Have you seen the So...” The ethereal ghost was about to ask multiple steps but remembering how shrewd the boy is, he asked: ”In a single question, I may ask multiple ones too, step by step unto the main question, if you accept this one request of mine, then, I will reward you with something really special to me.”
Mo Xie chuckles: ”Old man, what you think maybe special to you might merely be trash for me. So why should I entertain something that might possibly a waste of time for me.”
The old man sighed, a glint of light flashed within his eyes the next second: ”Well, if you promise to do something for me, I can vow to the heavens, to disperse my soul, remove me from eternal life cycle, if you won't satisfy with this gift of mine! Well, not that it matters, you'll definitely be satisfied with it.”
Mo Xie sighed: ”Well, no need for drastic measures since you're really that confident, go on, ask away.”
The old spectral ghost smiled: ”Well, have you seen the Solar Blaze Empire?”
His reply immediately made Mo Xie realize that this person is part of the Soaring Blaze Empire, for whatever reason is, he didn't know why the Empire had been turned to Tribe instead.
Mo Xie shook his head: ”Nope, but I've seen the Solar Blaze Tribe.”
