"The reason I became undead is because I completed a ritual."

"That was when I was about ten years old. I was walking slowly in the backyard of the orphanage. At that time, I couldn't walk fast because of my weak body, but the headmistress said that I needed to exercise occasionally, otherwise my health would get worse and worse."

"So I, who always listen to the headmistress, would walk around in the backyard from time to time."

"At that time, there were two not-so-tall apple trees in the backyard. Although they did not produce many fruits in the fall and the fruits they produced were small and sour, they were still an important source of fruit for everyone in the orphanage."

"So everyone will carefully water and weed the two apple trees. I will also help, but because of my poor health, I can only do these things slowly."

"That day, I was weeding around the apple tree. I was a little tired, so I leaned against the tree to rest for a while, and I fell asleep."

"I slept soundly, but I seemed to be disturbed by someone in my daze, but I drove them away impatiently."

"When I woke up, I felt refreshed and all the fatigue disappeared."

"At that time, I just thought that I felt better because I had rested well. But in fact, it was a trait that my weakness began to disappear after I became an undead."

"Don't you think it's strange that I became an immortal just by sleeping?"

"I was also very curious at the time, so I couldn't help but ask the hermit."

“The answer she gave me is still fresh in my memory.”

Chapter 344 How?

There was an inexplicable smile on Palora's face.

"From the moment I started weeding to the moment I woke up and left, everything I did was part of the ritual of becoming an immortal."

"It's incredible, isn't it? But it's true."

"It took me a while to accept this strange fact."

"If I hadn't been weeding at that time of day in the first place."

"If I had not chosen the left side when choosing the apple tree to lean against."

“If it wasn’t an apple tree in the backyard.”

"If it weren't for the two trees planted in the backyard."

"If I don't get bitten by mosquitoes while I sleep."

"If no apples fell at that time."

"If I hadn't caught the apple while waving my hand because of the mosquito bites while I was asleep."

"If I hadn't accidentally taken a bite of that unripe apple."

"If there's more than one bite."

"If the apples weren't green."

“If I don’t throw away the apple unconsciously after biting it because of its sourness.”

"If I don't throw it far enough."

“If you throw it at the wrong angle.”

"If I wake up at the wrong time."

"If someone comes to the backyard while I'm asleep."

"If you don't get straight out of there when you wake up."

"If I accidentally kick the bitten apple as I walk by."

"If I had realized something was wrong."

"Including what I said and what I didn't mention, if any of these things come true, I will not become immortal, because that means the ritual has completely failed."

"But no, none of the ifs happened, and the ceremony was successful in the end."

"A child who has no knowledge of death unconsciously performed a strange ritual and ended up creating an immortal. Is there anything more absurd than this?"

"I don't think there will be any more."

"That's why the reclusive senior stared at me for a quarter of an hour."

"My becoming an immortal is no longer a matter of luck or not. It is a necessity made up of countless coincidences and accidents. It is something more incredible than a miracle."

"The senior said at the end that I might be an accidental child, a life that should not have appeared but was born anyway. Accidental children are actually no different from ordinary people. But they have a kind of inevitable force similar to coincidence. That is to say, everything that happens unintentionally, the gathering of coincidences and accidents, will eventually come back to me in unexpected ways."

"I don't really understand these things, but after I found out why I became an undead, I felt relieved."

"After all, I always thought that there was some conspiracy or crisis involved in my becoming an undead."

"But that's not the case. Becoming undead was just a simple accident."

“Although it sounds a bit ridiculous, I was surprisingly able to accept this result.”

"After living in the mountains with my hermit predecessors for thirty years, I left and started traveling again."

"This time I am no longer searching for the origin of the undead, but am fascinated by searching for ancient and hidden history."

"Too much history from ten thousand years ago has been lost. I feel that as an immortal, I may be able to become a witness to history, and the history that will eventually be buried can be preserved in my heart."

"So, I continued my journey, and every few years I would go to see Shult, Surna, and Shilumi."

"Schult has become an uncle, but he is still quite handsome, just that he looks more and more like Cliff. Surna is still very young, but she is already in her mid-twenties. Only Shilumi still looks like a girl, but this is thanks to the fact that she is a pastor of the Church of Life."

"When I passed by a village, I saw a dilapidated statue. When I saw the stern face, I remembered that this village seemed to be a village saved by Ximier. It was the village that Ximier protected during the demonic disaster."

"But the villagers no longer remember who the statue belongs to. Many even think that the statue is too old and outdated. It is an eyesore to place it in the center of the village square. We should tear it down and build something more useful."

“In the end, I paid to have the statue renovated and asked the village chief to keep it.”

"In the town far from the village, there are still stories about Ximier. However, in this story, Ximier has become a member of the brave team, and his strength is no longer silver-level, but legendary. The monster he defeated here was not just an ordinary silver-level monster, but an incomparably powerful monster lord."

"Even the name has been changed to Temir. It can be said that there is no real place from beginning to end."

"It was then that I realized that the two or three hundred years that I didn't care about at all were already several generations for ordinary people. The past history has become a lost epic."

“People who were once real have become the protagonists of the story.”

"But in my eyes, those are things I have personally experienced with you all, and they are precious memories with you all."

“Time may distort history, but my memories will never fade.”

"No matter how much time has passed, as long as I am still alive as an immortal, you will not become a story of the past, but real people."

"At that moment, I suddenly felt that this was my mission as an immortal."

"Don't forget. Remember those precious memories. Don't forget. If even I forget them, who else will remember them?"

"I continued to travel on the continent of Enderol until one day, when I received the news of Shult's death. I stopped and went to see Surna, who was also about to die."

"Although these two little guys are at the Gold level, they are still only at the Gold level. Their strength cannot be improved any further, and their lifespan is only a short 300 years."

"Sulna was very happy to see me. She talked to me a lot."

"When she talked about her brother, she said with some regret that Shult actually had a good impression of me at first, probably because he liked me as a big sister."

"I actually have a vague idea. After all, in this respect, Shult is really similar to Cliff. Even the fact that he can't hide his admiring eyes is the same."

"But I never thought of responding to them. After all, I am an immortal, and there is a natural barrier between me and them."

"I stayed with Surna for a month until she passed away."

"Compared to the first time, I found myself being able to accept the departure of my companions unexpectedly."

"I began to understand that for an undead, the most important thing is the process, and the result doesn't matter at all."

Chapter 345 New Adventure

“Time, which seems like a death sentence to others, is just a natural law to me.”

“I started enjoying the process of bringing things about, and not being attached to the outcome of things.”

"Lisha, which one do you pursue more?"

Parola stared at Lisha who seemed to be in a daze.

"Process? Or result?"

"..."

Lisha’s expression showed some struggle.

She seemed to be struggling with something.

After a long while, Lisha’s frown slowly relaxed.

"I will not give up."

Lisha uttered such words.

"It's a greedy choice, but it suits your heart."

Palola seemed to have known the result long ago and was not surprised at all.

"So you've made up your mind?"

"Um..."

Lisha stretched lazily, mumbling like someone just waking up from a dream.

“It feels like I had a very long dream.”

"Have you ever thought about what to do next?"

Palora asked Lisha with a hint of curiosity.

"After what?"

Lisha rubbed her eyes.

"Perhaps others have not noticed it, but I can sense your immense vitality."

Palora held up three fingers.

"If it were you, you wouldn't have any problem living for three thousand years even in your current state."

This is a very exaggerated lifespan.

It is difficult for a normal human silver-rank peak professional to live more than 200 years. In fact, due to the injuries caused by years of fighting, most of them will die at the age of 170 or 180.

Even the elves, who were known for their vitality, only had a lifespan of three hundred years at the silver level.

Lisha's lifespan is almost the same as that of a legendary elf, and should not appear on a silver-level elf at all.

"Leave that matter to my future self. I should be able to find a way by then."

Lisha answered casually.

Now she is just a little hero who wants to kill the Demon King. She has not thought about things that are so far away a thousand years from now, nor does she intend to think about them. There is no point in thinking about the future that is too far away, as any slight change will lead to huge changes in the future.

"Very good, keep this attitude."

Palora nodded in appreciation.

This is the mentality that a person who lives to be immortal should have.

Many human legends have some problems with their concept of time, because they are not born immortal, but short-lived, with a lifespan of less than a hundred years. After they have gained a long lifespan, it is difficult for them to change their concept of time. If they are always fighting or adventuring, it is fine, but once they are idle for a long time, they will feel uncomfortable.

An elf can spend a month playing a game of chess with others, and a dragon can spend a year or even several years carving a delicate little sculpture. Except for those artists, no one would do such things because it is a waste of time.

But those who live forever must learn to waste time.

Because they have plenty of time and don't need to rush to do certain things.

Unless it is an extremely urgent situation, most things that immortals do should be slowed down as much as possible.

"Thank you for your guidance, Sister Palora."

Lisha thanked Palora earnestly.

She knew that Palora came here specifically to guide her.

"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank your sister Olivia. She paid me, so I came here."

Palola waved her hand calmly.

She was just doing the job for money.
