I Have a Sailing Game

Chapter 381 - 240: Growing Up in a Cold World (Double-Length)

Clang——

Daniel roared, wiping his fingers over the blade, and unexpectedly, a holy white light appeared on his sword.

This greatly boosted his confidence.

As soon as he returned to the Isle of Light and Dark, his power was restored.

"You’re so ignorant that I can’t even communicate with you."

Peter rubbed his temples, somewhat headache-stricken.

"It seems I need to help you see reality first."

"Cut the nonsense!"

"Light shines, the power of the Oath!"

In his fury, Daniel directly swung his sword towards Peter.

However, an unexpected voice interrupted his action.

"Daniel... my prince..."

Clink!

The sword fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

"Nicole..."

Daniel was momentarily lost, his eyes, already scabbed over, looked blankly towards the source of the voice.

"If you want to find your Nicole, come with me to see the truth."

Peter sneered once.

Then, he turned to look at Rogel, with a respectful expression.

"Lord Rogel, if you’re interested, you’re welcome to join us."

"That face sure changes fast." Noemi murmured to the side.

Rogel nodded and then motioned for everyone to follow.

Peter paid no heed to Noemi’s muttering.

He manipulated the Placing Claw in the sky, took out a huge platform, and then stepped onto it.

Everyone followed suit.

Daniel, who had been dazed for quite some time, finally boarded the platform silently under the calls of the others.

Not long after, two Placing Claws appeared in the sky.

They steadily carried everyone up into the clouds.

Passing through the hazy clouds, they immediately witnessed a shocking scene.

The Isle of Light and Dark, this island, had countless mini-buildings, and the architectural styles were clearly divided into two camps, one black, one white.

Beside the Isle of Light and Dark, which was a noticeably larger island, there was a relatively smaller island.

However, the buildings on it were more exquisite.

Yet now, most of it had become charred ruins, crawling with some "veins" on it.

"This is the Bright Kingdom and the Dark Kingdom, my ridiculous yet naive homeland..."

Peter said softly, his eyes complex.

"Seoluo, is that the name of the creator of these two islands?"

Rogel asked.

Peter chuckled bitterly: "Lord Rogel, your wisdom amazes me, discerning the truth in such a short time..."

He took a deep breath: "Yes, the creator of these two islands is called Seoluo, a great yet pitiful... Extraordinary."

Saying this, he directly looked at Daniel beside him, interrupting before he could speak.

"Alright, alright... I know, I know..."

"I know you want to express your unwavering sense of justice, but now I beg you to shut up, Daniel, okay?"

"Otherwise, I’ll tear Nicole apart right now... I mean what I say."

"Soon, I will let you see it all clearly."

"You should know I never lie."

Hearing this, Daniel, who was about to speak, could only grit his teeth and remain silent.

He understood quite well the nature of his archenemy.

"We’ve arrived."

The speed of the Placing Claw was swift.

Within just a few breaths, they reached another island.

The platform was placed inside a giant castle.

This was the only undamaged structure.

At the main entrance of this enormous castle, a person shrouded in a black robe, completely concealed, was waiting for them.

"Lord Rogel."

He nodded slightly towards Rogel.

At the same time, the Iron Puppet, which had been standing next to them, also walked to his side.

[Dolls of Born Spiritual Intelligence]

[Type: Creature]

[Quality: Leader]

[Level: 51]

[Tier: Deputy]

[Explanation: The world is filled with coincidences; it is synonymous with destiny to some extent, and this originally unintelligent Iron Puppet was born from a coincidence.]

This should be Peter’s true form.

Then, he looked at Daniel beside Rogel: "Come, let me first bring you back to your original body."

"To let you see the true face of this world."

His voice was exceedingly calm.

Although Daniel didn’t speak, everyone present could see his hesitation.

"Okay." Daniel took a deep breath and his expression became resolute: "No matter what you want to do, I’ll accompany you to the end, but you have to release Nicole first."

Peter saw this and shook his head helplessly.

Then, he raised his hand nonchalantly.

Behind him appeared an exquisitely detailed Iron Puppet, indistinguishable from a real Princess except for some joints and details on its clothes.

Rogel glanced at her, frowned slightly, and then looked away.

"Daniel."

A light and familiar voice came through.

Daniel suddenly felt a blockage in his heart, his voice somewhat hoarse, "Nicole..."

If not for his eyes being completely damaged now, they would have been filled with tears long ago.

Nicole’s eyes seemed to carry a tint of color as she stepped forward and embraced Daniel.

"Are you okay, my prince..."

Her voice was very gentle.

Daniel held her tightly, his voice choked with emotion.

"How touching..."

Noemi wiped the corners of her eyes.

Rogel sighed.

In a sense, Nicole may have something in common with Peter.

"Do you feel the coldness on her?"

Peter’s voice came untimely.

Daniel’s body seemed to pause as well.

"This is the reality..."

Peter clapped his hands, and a knight-like Iron Puppet walked up again.

Under his control, the knight puppet came to Daniel, mechanically extending its hand towards him.

"Daniel."

This time, the voice came from the knight puppet.

The voice was identical to Daniel’s.

This made Daniel freeze in disbelief.

The knight puppet reached out and touched Daniel.

The next moment.

The originally vacant-eyed knight puppet suddenly seemed to wake from a dream, snapping back to awareness, its eyes blinking a few times as it looked around incredulously.

Bang!

Daniel’s original flesh-and-blood body crashed heavily to the ground.

Nicole also turned around mercilessly, looking at him who had turned into a puppet.

"Congratulations, you can see again."

Peter clapped his hands.

"Although all this is false, your Nicole always loves you, and that’s the only place on her that carries warmth."

Peter said this with a hint of emotion, without any mockery this time.

Daniel looked at Nicole before him, shocked.

His expression was somewhat dazed.

The impact just now was like a solid giant wave suddenly slamming into his heart, cold and strong.

However, Peter’s actions were not over.

He clapped his hands again.

In the castle behind them, suddenly appeared a multitude of Iron Puppets.

Their outfits and postures varied; some were knights, some were farmers, some were Kings and Queens, Daniel’s parents and relatives.

Even Peter’s parents were among them.

These were all familiar faces to Daniel.

Their cold metallic eyes stared straight at him, collectively uttering a phrase.

"Hello, Daniel..."

Dozens of puppets spoke in unison, devoid of any emotion.

Daniel’s expression was vacant, the clattering sound of his sword and iron body quivering.

"Daniel, do you still remember the giant monster that sparked the war between the Dark Kingdom and the Bright Kingdom?"

Peter spoke calmly, then pointed into the castle.

Everyone looked over, only to see inside the castle, a small-scale Isle of Light and Dark model, perfectly replicating every detail of the island.

Next to this model were dozens of Placing Claws engraved with mysterious Runes.

On the ground, miniature puppets were scattered.

Peter walked over, picked up a puppet, raised his fingers, and controlled the iron claw to grab it.

The remaining mechanical claws grabbed a bunch of mini puppets and placed them down.

Correspondingly.

In the distant sky, a Placing Claw appeared, clutching an ugly monster with arms as thick as two adults’ placed together.

The claw released, and the monster plummeted downward.

Soon after, faint screams and monster roars echoed from below.

After doing all this, Peter turned around and calmly looked at him.

"Do you understand now?"

"Daniel, we grew up in a cold world..."
