When Kisstis and Lyfia were gone, Iska sat down on a chair by the fireplace, and kept staring at Chu Tianjiang.

Chu Tianjiang also looked at Iska, the same feeling as the last time they met, although Iska's appearance has not changed, but the feeling given to Chu Tianjiang is completely different. She is no longer the girl who needs Chu Tianjiang's protection and care everywhere, she has become a very powerful woman.

At least in will, Iskar is much stronger than before.

"Don't ask me why I'm coming back." Chu Tianjiang knew that his relationship with Iska had changed, and it was an irreversible change. "I went to the Old World, and when I got to the place you said, I found the forbidden area you set up, and I met a man named Mosa."

"Forbidden area, Mosa!?"

"Why, don't you know the truth?"

"I know what you're talking about, it's just Mosa......"

"Obviously, it wasn't you who asked him to stay, but someone else."

"Soya."

Chu Tianjiang didn't say much, because Iska's answer had already proved the guess he had made before.

"Mossa is one of the first qualitative people we transformed after the establishment of the 'Freedom Defenders', and it is the most outstanding one." Iskar let out a sigh and said, "Although there were still many resistance fighters around us when we left the southern continent, when we explored the various continents, most of the resistance fighters were sacrificed, and we had to develop members among the common people. ”

"He's unusual?"

Iska nodded and said, "When we met him, he was being hunted down by the Imperial authorities, and he almost died. It was Soya who saved him, and it was Soya who insisted on reforming him. Although Soya did not become closer to him because of this, his attitude towards Soya changed. ”

"Does he love Soya?"

Iskar nodded again and said, "There is no way to do this, the situation at that time made us have to use our feelings to win support." ”

Chu Tianjiang didn't speak, because it meant that Iska and Laika had done something similar.

"Actually, it's just a stopgap measure, we ...... At least I ......"

"Iska, I understand." Chu Tianjiang interrupted Iska's words and said, "Mosa wanted to kill me, but he didn't succeed and let me find someone. ”

"Who?"

"Uma."

"What?"

"She's in absolute zero, and that's what she created."

"This ......"

"Why, don't you know the truth?"

Iska sighed and said, "At that time, it was Soya who was in charge of commanding the battle. I'm in the New World, and I'm in charge of sending more fighters to the front. All I know is that before the war ended, the Empire was completely evacuated, and all we got was a completely ruined city. It is precisely because of this that Soya did not arrange for the soldiers to be stationed, but ordered the whole army to retreat. After that, we never looked at the city again. ”

"In other words, Soya has hidden the truth from you."

"I don't know what to say, if ......"

"So, do you know that the Emperor is Gram?"

Iskar was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Tell you, did it work?"

Chu Tianjiang stared at Iska, as if he wanted to see through Iska.

"I also know that all that Gram did was to seek revenge on you, because it was your arrival that caused him to lose all his brothers and change his fate. Of course, he also wanted to kill Holmes with his own hands, but alas, you killed Holmes before he did. If he's still the same concoctor he used to be, I'd have killed him without you coming back. But he wasn't, he became very powerful. Even if you know that he is the emperor of the empire, and he is the one who brought all this, what can you do? To deal with him, or to surrender to him? No matter what you do, you are no match for him, not only will you not be able to defeat him, but you will die, and you will die meaninglessly. ”

"Iskar ......"

"If Uma is on the Old World, I will never let you go to the Old World."

"Then why did you send me to the Old World?"

Iska gritted her teeth and did not answer Chu Tianjiang's question.

"Iska, we've been through a lot together, and you should know that I'm not going to be easily defeated, and I'm definitely not going to give up."

"You think that's useful?"

"What's useless?"

Iskar let out a long sigh and said, "That's what worries me the most, you won't give up, no matter how much danger you encounter, no matter whether you're sure of defeating your opponent or not, you won't give up, you won't back down, you won't even think about what serious the consequences of doing this will be." ”

Chu Tianjiang was a little surprised, because Iskar's mood fluctuated greatly when he said this.

"Isn't the lesson enough?"

"What lesson?"

"Why did you go to Uma in the first place? I didn't question it, but you should know that not only me, but Soya and Laika also thought it was wrong. Putting aside whether you can defeat Uma or not, and even if you can, what can you do to continue to challenge Fest? We all know that you don't give up, so you choose to take risks. The result? Yes, you did defeat Fester and returned, but the entire world has become unrecognizable, is the current world world what you wanted to get when you challenged Ummah? ”

Chu Tianjiang was silent, because Iska was to the point.

"What I'm saying is, I don't want you to be like this, every time you do something desperately, I'm scared, very scared."

"Iskar ......"

"Although you have proved again and again with your actions that you can overcome all difficulties, I know that sooner or later, you will leave me because of this. I was afraid of that day, I didn't want that day to come, but I couldn't stop you, and I even had to support you for no reason. Can you understand the feeling? In fact, when did you think about my feelings, when did you think about Soya and Laika's feelings? ”

Chu Tianjiang was speechless.

"That's right, you're pursuing your ideals, and you want those loved ones to come back to you. But have you ever thought about those who love you? ”

"Iskar ......"

"You're back, a thousand years late, but I'm still glad you're back. But I know that if I lose you again, I will be completely devastated. ”

"I said I wouldn't leave you."

"But you didn't deliver on it. Even if you're back now, do you know what kind of challenges I've faced over the past thousand years? ”

Chu Tianjiang closed his eyes, he could fully understand Iska's feelings.

"Even the moment before I knew that you had returned, I wondered if you were still alive, and whether I should continue to hold on for that empty promise."

"If you want, I'll never part with you again."

"Is it still useful to talk about this now?" Iskar looked at Chu Tianjiang. "Back then, you were everything to me, I gave myself all to you, everything I did was for you, even if I left you after the worst time, it was for you, because I knew that staying would only drag you down and make you blackmailed. But now, I'm not the Iskar I used to be, and I'm not the Iskar you are familiar with. ”

Chu Tianjiang was silent again, because this was indeed the truth.

"I said you shouldn't come back."

"Iska, I see."

"What do you understand?" Iskar burst out laughing, but very sadly. "Of course, you probably do. If you don't come back, at least we still have a glimmer of illusion, or hope, that maybe we can hold on for another thousand years. Unfortunately, you are back, and the effects of this are irreversible and cannot be completely eliminated by your departure again. ”

Chu Tianjiang smiled bitterly, he thought about leaving, but he also knew that there was no point in doing this.

"Actually, I'm conflicted." Iskar let out a long sigh and said, "I want you to leave, because this may be the best option for you." Regardless, Gram has not yet mastered the ability to travel to other micro-universes, and he may never be able to. As long as you go to another microverse, Graham cannot pose a threat to you. But if you leave like this, it will be a great disaster for me and for all that we have created, and we will lose everything we have for a thousand years. I don't know what to choose, I don't know what to do, can you tell me? ”

"I'm not leaving, at least until I take out Gram."

Iskar laughed, a little maniacious.

"Iska, you know me."

"Of course I know you, better than anyone else in this world. In fact, your answer was exactly what I expected, and it didn't surprise me. Of course, the fact that you have given such an answer shows that you did not understand what I began to say. ”

"This ......"

"It's not your fault, because that's who you are, and if you're not like that, it's not you."

Chu Tianjiang was silent, not knowing how to continue.

"Anyway, when it's all over, forget about the things you shouldn't remember."

"You know, there are a lot of things that you can't forget."

"Then ignore it when it doesn't exist."

Chu Tianjiang let out a long breath and said, "Actually, your answer was also expected by me, and it didn't surprise me, and I didn't come to you for these things. ”

Iskar smiled and said, "It seems that you have been affected and there are some changes. ”

"Iskar ......"

"Just ask any questions, as long as I know the truth, I will definitely tell you."

Although he has made a complete break with Iska, he must unravel the unsolved secrets.
