"But isn't it a bad decision that you're caught, and you're stuck in this prison?"

"Hehe, maybe. The country of mountains is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but because of this, contact with the outside world is limited, Fiona expands her territory for her own country and invades neighboring countries, although she doesn't want to say it, but that is the right choice for her. And we are desperately resisting in order to protect our country, and we cannot say that we are wrong. There are some things in the world that cannot be measured by mere right and wrong. If it is not right, we must support it, and if it is wrong, we must oppose it. ”

The old man's words surprised Ellie a little that he didn't object to Fiona's sister's aggression.

"Why do you ...... Tell me that......"

"Because I think you're a pitiful little girl."

The old man's words made Ellie smile bitterly, and she ...... Pathetic......

Ellie fell silent, he didn't quite understand what the old man meant, and for a moment, she felt how ridiculous it was for her sister to say that she had grown up, that she didn't understand anything, but wanted to save others, maybe she was not only pitiful, but also ridiculous.

"Do you have faith?" The old man asked for no reason

The girl was stunned as expected, faith, do you have this thing, it seems to have and it doesn't seem to have, how to understand this word? Your own vision? Your own ideals? None of that seems right. This is a question that stopped the girl.

And the old man did not wait for Ellie to say his answer, and said to her: "For me, my country, is my faith. ”

"That guy is also such a person, the state regards him as faith, no matter how weak and poor he is. When the faith is defiled, it will be washed away with the blood of the enemy, although he will be put down in the first sight. The old man spoke with an indescribable smile.

After listening to the old man's words, the girl knew that the guy he was talking about was the guard officer who led the residents of Deya City before, but because of this, Ellie was even more confused, could she give her life for the sake of her nihilistic faith? She was born in China, so her nationality should also be Chinese, but she didn't like it there, because there, she had no friends, no relatives, only some people who were indifferent to her. There are no happy memories there, and perhaps the only good memories are when I met Mia and Fiona. Then she followed her sisters to Japan, where she met her first friend. Although it is beautiful, but Japan is not her country, and she can't find any sense of belonging, maybe for Bai Ling at that time, the country is not as important as the family formed by her two sisters, and of course there is no such thing as a belief in the country.

"I ...... I don't understand your beliefs...... But isn't life the most important thing, and I don't want anyone to leave, even if it's a stranger...... Also...... Don't want to, such a fragile life, why ...... Why don't you cherish it......"

Ellie hugged her legs, buried her head in her knees, and spoke more and more quietly, until the old man could barely hear it in the back.

"Maybe you're right." The old man said, "But, I don't know if you've ever heard of such a saying. What can be escaped is fate, and what cannot be escaped is choice. I chose my beliefs, and that's it, life is important, but something more important than life has always existed. ”

"Heavier than life or ......"

Do you have it yourself?

That's right......

I have sisters and friends.

Would you give your life for them?

Do you think they are more important than your own lives?

Will they do the same to themselves?

It seems that I have never thought about this kind of thing, and I have always been comfortable so that I don't know what the danger is, and I have never cared about my own safety. That time in the Tamir Forest, when I fed Cialis blood, I didn't think that I would die, and now that I think about it, I was so stupid at that time. However, it also proves that he cares about them, even if it is at the cost of his own life. Not only that, but they also gave for themselves, the sisters saw their joy, Linka disappeared for herself, and Cylis saw the tears she showed when she woke up......

Yes...... There are also many people who are willing to give for me......

"I seem to ...... Got it......" Ellie muttered, not seeing a hint of an intriguing smile on the old man's lips.

Time passed like this, because she was not used to the prison environment, and she had been thinking about what the old man had said to her at night, so the girl woke up very late, and as soon as she opened her eyes, Ellie noticed that there was something different in the prison today, as if something was missing. I looked left and right and realized that the old man who was chatting with me was no longer next door. Ellie was a little flustered, calmed down, and suppressed a sudden sense of irritability.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" Ellie shouted towards the prison gates.

There was a knock at the door, and one of the guards walked in, saluted Ellie, and said, "Is there something wrong?" Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"Where is the old gentleman next door to me?"

"Your Royal Highness Princess, that one is a death row prisoner, and he has been sent to the execution table today."

"Death penalty?" Ellie didn't react.

"Yes, Your Highness Princess, he is a felony who assassinated Her Majesty the girl."

Ellie sat down on the ground after hearing this, she was a little annoyed, when chatting with the old man in the past two days, the old man had a smile on his face all the time, not at all like a person who was about to die, Ellie had even forgotten that the old man was a key assassin of the Empress, and he was not "experiencing life" in prison like herself.

"When will the execution be carried out?"

"It's noon today."

"Bang", in the blink of an eye of the guards, Ellie had already opened the door and ran out, and the guards did not chase back the "prisoner", Mia had told them that if Ellie wanted to come out, let her be.

It's cloudy outside, the dark clouds make people's mood more depressing, the air is slightly cool, and people who blow a little wind from time to time can't help but hug their bodies and shiver, such weather may rain heavily at any time.

The girl ran out of the prison unimpeded along the way, and asked several pedestrians before finding the execution table. It was already full of people, and in front of it was a high wooden platform, on which the old man knelt and behind him stood the executioner, and on the other side an official was listing the old man's charges and warning the people of the fate of rebellion against the empress. From time to time, fierce roars rang out from the crowd, trying to break through the guards, who were about to kill their beloved lord.

Ellie squeezed into the crowd, barely ran to the front, and saw the old man who had been with her for a day. He lowered his head, his scattered hair shaking in the wind, as if he had given up on his imminent death.

"Mr. John......" Ellie called the old man's name.

The old man's body trembled, and he looked up and saw the girl who was only a few meters away from him.

"What are you doing here? There is nothing to see about the death of an old man? Get out of here. ”

"I'm sorry, I couldn't save you."

"Hahaha, do you still want to save your enemies?"

Ellie was suddenly asked, not knowing how to answer.

The old man looked at Ellie, "A person who can't carry out his beliefs, even if he survives, is just a tragedy." I don't regret it, it's time for me to pay for what I believe in. I'm glad I could know a girl like you before I die, but I'm sorry to leave you with bad memories. ”

At this time, the executioner received the order to execute, and the old man also closed his eyes in resignation, and for a moment the knife fell in his hand......

Blood sprayed, and a head tumbled and fell off the stage.
