"And that includes you, right?"

Xia Lan looked at the other party expressionlessly and said. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

“…… Yes. The man hesitated for a moment and said, "But at the same time, you should know that this is not our choice. ”

"This is the second time." Xia Lan said in a calm tone: "Please go back and tell Herris, there will be a next time, we will not owe each other from now on!" ”

"I'll help you convey it, and you want to cherish it yourself."

It took less than a minute for the two to meet and talk to the end, but this minute contained information that both valued each other.

Back at the office, there were officials in a hurry, and when they met Xia Lan, they would pause and give respectful greetings before leaving, and the prestige of a person could be seen. Usually he will bow his head slightly in response, not only keeping his distance, but also reflecting cultivation, basically not giving people the impression of arrogance and rudeness, but just now, he always had a cold expression, ignoring others along the way, and everyone with eyes secretly speculated that he didn't know what important things affected his coach's mood.

Standing in front of the window of the independent study, condescendingly looking down at the orderly city scene in front of him, if it were not for his appearance, this land would have been reduced to ruins under the flames of war, since he led his army into the defense line of the Lake Saône, he has suppressed all disobedient voices by forceful means, if it is not so, how can he carry out his will and completely control the military and political power of the defense line of the Lake Saône.

Even if he was not in a thousand ways, standing at the height of the overall situation, he saved the face of the Templar's defeat and laid the foundation for a comeback in the future.

But instead of intending to treat the heroes well, the Holy Church intended to deal with itself because of the power dumping, and there is nothing more chilling in the world than this, avoiding the enemy's open guns and arrows, but in the end it can't escape the conspiracy behind its own people.

Some people say that the reason why people are tired is that they often hesitate between persistence and giving up.

His heart was tired, tired a long time ago.

Sometimes, he doesn't know what he's holding on to, and he doesn't know what he insists on, and this feeling is indescribable, as if there is a force driving him in the dark.

He stood at the window all night, and then, the next morning, the servant who had come to greet him was stunned to find that Charan was gone.

Soon after, the news of the mysterious disappearance of the legendary commander of the Lake Thorne Line, "Silver and White Sword" Green, shook Eldlan.

There is no doubt that Green's disappearance has aroused the attention of countless people, both civil and various forces.

Heather's Empire rejoiced at the sight of such exciting news, and after confirming that the news was true, the Empire immediately dispatched a large army to attack the defense line of Lake Thorne, and at the same time hyped that Grimm's disappearance was due to the power struggle within the Templar that someone was trying to murder the legendary commander who had made immortal achievements, and Grimm secretly learned the news and returned to the mountains and forests in frustration!

The Templars were not going to sit idly by and watch the Empire guide public opinion, and after the Patriarch in white was urgently dispatched to guard the defense line of the Lake of Thorne, the Templars vied with each other to advertise that Green's disappearance was the result of the Empire's assassination.

……

……

"I didn't expect him to do that!"

Herris sat limply in her chair and shook her head with a wry smile on her face, the news of Green's disappearance was undoubtedly a serious shock to her, and no one would have thought that he would be so "willful" that he would just leave it.

"I didn't expect that either." Berlant sighed softly.

"You've been with him the longest, have you noticed anything wrong with him in the past few years? It could not have been a rash decision on his part of the moment that something like this happened. Hereth regained some of her spirits.

“…… I remember having an unusual conversation at night on a mission to the Fernanto Border Forest, before the Battle of Brunwig. Berlant muttered for a while.

"How unusual?" Herris hurriedly asked.

"A question about the world's cage." Next, Berlant recounted the conversation between the two one by one.

"What do you think he was thinking?" Herris said with a frown.

Perhaps, he thought of an answer. Berlante Road.

"Answer?" Herris was puzzled.

"Knowing oneself, knowing the answer to the world." Berlant said with a solemn expression.

“……”

Herris was a little confused, even distraught.

He left everything behind for an ethereal answer? Is this really a joke or is he insane?

"Where do you think he's going?" Despite the resentment in her heart, Herris couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know—" said Berlant, "if he really wants to hide that he doesn't want to see anyone, I'm afraid few people will find him." ”

At this time, someone arrived outside the door.

"Lord Herris, I've sent someone over there to invite you over to discuss something."

The Announcer is Gardwell, one of the Twelve Horsemen.

"I see, it seems that there should be a suspicion that Green's disappearance has something to do with me." Herris said distressedly. "It's just my explanation, I'm afraid they won't believe it at all."

……

……

Green's disappearance continues to ferment with the continuation of time, after all, Green's influence in today's war pattern is obvious to all, for example, if the Gadavian defense line is the legs that support the Templars, then Green, who is good at military command, is the right-hand man that the Templars rely on to attack and defend, and the end of the hands can be understood by looking at the actions of the Heather Empire, when Green was there, the empire was so afraid that it would not move, and as soon as the news of Green's disappearance came, it was moved, which shows Green's deterrent power to the Empire!

Now that Green is missing, I don't know if the higher-ups within the Templars who tried to deal with him will regret it, and the Empire is undoubtedly gloating anyway.

In the meantime, where did the vanished Lord go?

In fact, he didn't go anywhere, or he didn't know where to go.

He has no hometown, no home, not even a place to be nostalgic, because no matter how long he stays in this world, he never has a sense of belonging. From the beginning of his arrival in this world, his life was a tragedy, and if life were a book, he would definitely jump out of the book and kill the writer who wrote his life.

But the saddest thing in life is that if there is really a writer, you will never be able to jump out of the cage built by the writer.

Because you never know if what you're thinking about now, if what you're going to do is a well-planned decision.

Just like his fate at this moment, his life at this moment, and the world at this moment.

That night, he wondered, if there was fate, if there really was a writer-

Why can't I learn from Joshua and go against my own life trajectory like in the game?

He was dead when he shouldn't have been in the Holy Land of Sarania.

And what about yourself?

Will you die?

He doesn't know if there are shackles of fate, and if there is, he wants to try to touch, try to disobey, try to break.

As for the Templar, the Empire, and the future of Eldran as a whole, what does he have to do with it?!

When you think clearly about what you are pursuing in your heart, you will find that everything is false, his destiny starts from an unknown system, his future is manipulated by an unknown system, and everything he has done until now is following the arrangement of the system.

Because of survival, he can't do without the system, and because of obsession, he can't let go of the system.

Do you hear me?

He asked in his mind.

As a result, no one responded.

Do you know I'm tired?

He was still asking himself.

You know—

Do I don't need you anymore?

My life has been ruined by you, I stay in the world purely to survive, because of you, I can no longer feel good and happy, touch my blood, it is cold, look at my heart, it is black, and what is the meaning of my life? Kill someone for you?

When this sentence is silently said in the heart.

His vision flashed with a myriad of chaotic symbols.

For a long time-

"Kill Goethe Witch Throne."

"Kill Garbod."

"Kill Templar John."

"Kill ......"

His eyelids jumped, and the system responded, and he was greeted by a series of shocking murder lists.

Why kill them? Why should I help you kill them?

Two seemingly indistinguishable questions represent two different meanings.

The system did not respond, but the kill list continued to appear slowly.

I don't have the ability to kill them, and at the same time ...... I will no longer be at your mercy.

Ding――

In the dark, he seemed to hear a voice, and all the visions in his eyes disappeared, as if he had experienced a spiritual hallucination.

I'd love to see what would happen next in this world without me?

I'm looking forward to it.

……

In the deep mountains and old forests with the fragrance of birds and flowers in the warm spring, there is a simple wooden house on the bank near the stream, and there is a fire burning in the open space outside the wooden house, and an iron pot steaming white is set up on the fire.

He has been living in seclusion here for nearly a few months, working every day at sunrise and sunset, living a simple and plain life like a bowl of boiled water, during this time, he has not been far from the mountains and forests once, completely cut off from the outside world, so he does not know the latest developments in Elderland, he ignores the outside world does not mean that he is not interested, it is just that the time has not come.

"How did you find me?"

Swallowing the food in the pot and putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Xia Lan suddenly looked at the other side of the stream, because he sensed a familiar breath.

"Hereth has entrusted a friend of the Forest of Stars with an approximate divination of your location through the bits and pieces left on you, and for this reason, I have been looking for you for two weeks."

Berlant said in a raunchy appearance across from him.

"What are you doing here?" Xia Lan said calmly. "You know I'm not going to go with you."

"I just wanted to ask you, did you find the answer?" Berlante Road.

"Yes." Xia Lan nodded.

"What's the answer?" Berant's face was full of expressions and said, "I want to know." ”

"Wait."

"Wait?"

"Wait for the day when the answer appears."

"Why wait here?"

"If I wasn't here, the answer would never have come out."

"I see."

Then Berlant turned and left, and before leaving, he did not forget to say a word.

"The Thorne line has fallen, and Herris is ready to head north to face John."

"Good luck to her."
