749. Are You Watching Me?

Congratulations on completing the mission

The settlement will now begin

Trist saw the words materialize before him. He raised his head and saw that the wall clock pointed exactly to noon.

The sun was shining brightly outside. In the Ruined City, in an area bordering the rich and poor districts, an afternoon without gunshots or brawls was a rare thing.

He knocked on the table.

Before long, a young man rubbing the sleep from his eyes came running over.

"Mr. Trist, you're back?"

When the young Stone saw Trist, he relaxed. He hurriedly straightened his clothes.

"I'll make you some coffee."

Stone hurried into the kitchen, boiled water, and ground the coffee beans.

Trist rose from his seat. Looking at Stone's busy figure, he felt an almost unreal sensation.

But his decision had not changed.

In the future, he would die, while Stone would become a Chosen of the Gods and continue walking through the Silent Land. Moreover, the young man would inherit his will. For Trist, that was enough.

Just as he had once discussed with Jost, if one person's life could save the world, then it was a more than worthwhile bargain.

Although, as Lu Ban and the others had told Trist, the seal of the Profound Lord would continue consuming human lives to maintain itself, Trist's actions were no different from Jost's when he ignited the first Spirit Torch.

But perhaps that was for the best.

Trist took the coffee Stone handed him.

The coffee was scalding hot and gave off a rich aroma. It had been a long time since he had drunk anything like it.

"By the way, there's something I need to tell you."

Thinking of this, Trist spoke.

"What is it?"

Stone thought Trist seemed a little strange and looked over.

".Forget it.
