Chapter 380 - 240: Growing Up in a Cold World
After the Iron Puppet hit the ground, its various parts seemed to become loose.
It creaked as it twisted, adjusting its body slightly.
After scanning the crowd with its metallic eyes, it bowed deeply toward Rogel, showing its respect.
Rogel made no move, calmly watching it.
He immediately recognized it as just an ordinary Iron Puppet, unrelated to the Cursed Wizard Peter.
"Hello, esteemed sir, you may call me Peter."
"However, I don’t like that name. If possible, I would prefer you to call me—Sean."
It introduced itself very politely.
"Might I have the privilege of knowing your name?"
"Peter!" Before Rogel could speak, Daniel was already losing his composure. He was extremely angry: "You damn bastard, where have you hidden Nicole? What have you done to the Isle of Light and Dark?"
But Peter didn’t pay him any mind, just smilingly looked at Rogel.
"Rogel."
Rogel still showed no expression.
If it weren’t for Uvie Muzhe, his strength should be on par with the Extraordinary Trait Manifestations in this area, so he still had to be cautious.
"Answer me! Peter! You bastard!"
Daniel couldn’t suppress his anger and drew the sword from his waist, ready to strike him.
Yas hurried to stop him, and Mira also tried to calm him down momentarily.
"Sir Rogel." Peter nodded to him with a smile, then continued, "You are undoubtedly a formidable person."
"I would like to ask, why have you entered this place?"
"Perhaps I can fulfill your needs."
Hearing this, Rogel narrowed his eyes.
It seems this guy is smart.
The previous Cursed Corpse must have been used to test his strength, and seeing that he wasn’t easy to deal with, he decided to be upfront instead of hiding.
This was okay too, it saved him a lot of trouble.
"Doyle Devis, did he leave anything in this place?"
Rogel asked.
"Doyle Devis?"
Upon hearing this, Peter on the opposite side frowned slightly, "Please wait a moment."
A moment later, the Iron Puppet snapped back to consciousness and spoke to Rogel:
"Found it, Sir Rogel, he left a letter, presumably meant for you."
With that, the Placing Claw in the sky moved again.
This time, it grasped a large letter and lowered it down.
After the letter landed, it gradually shrank and eventually ended up in Peter’s hand.
Peter didn’t dawdle and directly handed it to Rogel.
It seemed he genuinely had no intention of playing tricks.
"So straightforward?" Noemi couldn’t help her suspicion.
Rogel shot him a glance, then took the letter in his hand.
[Doyle Devis’s Letter]
[Type: Correspondence]
[Explanation: A letter from Doyle Devis, addressed personally to Rogel.]
It really was that guy’s item.
Rogel was somewhat surprised, but also didn’t open it immediately, instead putting it away.
Perhaps seeing the expressions on Rogel and his crew, Peter smiled indifferently.
"You might feel puzzled by my behavior."
"But what I want to say is, this is merely a gesture of goodwill towards you."
With that, Peter’s expression turned serious, revealing his true purpose.
"Sir Rogel, if you desire Seyoro’s legacy, I can also give it to you."
"But I hope you will allow one thing, which is my trade with Daniel."
"No matter what, this is a matter between him and me, needing closure."
Rogel said nothing, just nodded.
Since he had already obtained Doyle’s letter, the following matters were actually not that related to him.
However, since he was already here, he might as well see what he really wanted to do.
Seeing Rogel’s agreement, Peter finally turned to look at Daniel.
"Nicole? Where is she?!"
Daniel demanded, seething with anger.
Hearing his words, Peter merely looked at him with a slightly pitying gaze, letting out a light laugh: "Rest assured, she is doing well. I destroyed all the toys on the Isle of Light and Dark, leaving only her."
"Toys?"
Daniel was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that by "toys," he meant all the people on the island!
"You killed the others?"
"Peter, you damned bastard! I’m going to kill you!!!"
Peter wasn’t fazed by his anger, chuckling lightly.
"No rush."
"Daniel, they are nothing more than lifeless objects."
"Even if you remove each of their fingers one by one, they wouldn’t feel any pain, not even their cries were programmed."
Peter spoke with composure.
He then threw another heavy statement toward Daniel.
"Daniel, have you ever considered the possibility that we live in a completely fake world?"
When he said this, Peter was very earnest.
"You lunatic!"
Daniel sneered, thinking he was spouting nonsense.
But at this moment, Rogel was rubbing his chin, appearing thoughtful, a flash of understanding crossing his eyes.
"Seems like, you’ve never noticed the absurdity of this world at all..."
"Or perhaps, you really are just like Seyoro."
"No wonder he wanted you to escape from this fake world and experience reality."
Peter shook his head, eyes full of pity for Daniel, as if watching a helpless bird in a cage.
"Stop spouting mystical nonsense, release Nicole!"
