Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5043 (five thousand and forty-three)
"What do you think?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"A man with long legs once told me that what I said to the person I couldn't afford to offend was not a fantasy under any circumstances." said the man.

The Gray Hand Man asked, "Do you agree with what the man with long legs told you?"

"I didn't think about it carefully at the time." said the man.

"Why don't you think about it carefully?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Because when that person with long legs told me that, I had already...completely believed what that person who I couldn't afford to offend said." That person said, "I had long ago determined that what I said before...was just my fantasy."

The Gray Hand Man asked, "Once you are convinced of what someone said, is it difficult for you to think about anything else?"

"Neither...nor." said the man.

The Gray Hand Man asked: "Think about it now. Do you think what the long-legged man said to you makes sense?"

"Actually... it does... make sense, and... it makes a lot of sense." said the man.

"What did the man with long legs say to you?" asked the man with gray hands.

The reason why the Gray Hand asked so many detailed questions was that he wanted to further understand the person's thoughts, and then infer the relationship between some situations and magic.

That person said, “What the long-legged person said to me… is… that person whom I can’t afford to offend initially said what I thought was normal was a fantasy… Later… Later I found out that it was really a fantasy, and I thought… that person whom I can’t afford to offend was right… But actually… reality developed in the direction of what the person whom I can’t afford to offend said… It was originally… It was controlled by the person whom I can’t afford to offend.” After saying this, the person felt that he had not made it clear enough, and added, “I think… I don’t think I made it clear enough… Actually… Actually, what the long-legged person meant was… that what I said could have been a fantasy, and could have become a reality. It was the person whom I can’t afford to offend who made what I said that could have become a reality become… a fantasy.”

After saying this, the man still felt that something he said was not clear enough, but he didn't know how to continue adding to it. He opened his mouth, then closed it again and didn't continue.

"What else do you want to say?" The man with gray hands asked when he saw that the other party wanted to continue speaking.

“Oh…I haven’t thought about it…it seems…just like this.” said the man.

The Gray Hand Man asked, "Do you now think that what the man with long legs said makes sense? Then will you no longer think that you are just imagining things?"

"No. I won't stop thinking that what I said before was fantasy because of this." The man said, "I will think... fantasy... is just fantasy. Even if what the man with long legs said makes sense, what I said before... is still fantasy."

"Why do you think so?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"Because I...I can't help it." said the man.

"Is there nothing I can do?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"There is no way to change reality." The man said, "The person I can't afford to offend...he...will always be someone I can't afford to offend. Even if it is his control...he turned something that could have been a reality into a fantasy, then...that is something I can't change. I have no choice but to accept my fate. Since I can only accept my fate, then...then what I said before was a fantasy."
