The sun burst out of the sea and brightened the whole world.

The fiery red light stretched the shadows of several people to the ground.

"Lord Robin." Blonde Kaye walked beside Robin, brisk on his feet.

The sea breeze blew through everyone's hair, and it was slightly cold.

Mixed with salty and wet taste.

"Huh?" Robin looked up at her.

This hero from more than a hundred years ago has a good-looking side face and a youthful smile.

He suddenly remembered that this former hero actually had a very short life.

Only 26 years old.

But it's enough to achieve brilliance.

"As your knight, oh no, as your squire, I have two pieces of advice." Kaye reined in his usual cynical expression and said solemnly.

Seeing her serious appearance, Robin couldn't help but get nervous.

This hero gives people a sense of oppression that is not ordinarily strong.

He even wondered if he could really afford to be the titular master.

"Say it." Robin bowed slightly.

"First, since I've been born again." Her amber eyes took on a purple haze in the night, "Then I hope to live with a new [Kaye] and forget all the things that happened before."

Forget the identity of the watcher.

Forget the dead man who was once buried on the Crimson Shores.

Please don't mention the Watcher's name again, and don't reveal to anyone else that I was once a Sykorid.

so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. “

Hearing her words, Robin's heart chuckled.

Yes, just now I was immersed in the joy of accepting a general, but I didn't have time to think carefully about the pros and cons.

His brow furrowed slightly, and his face became unsightly.

Now after Kaye's reminder, Robin couldn't help but feel a little self-reproachful, feeling that he was still thinking too simply.

He hadn't even thought about why Kaye had abandoned his previous identity.

It stands to reason that after she is resurrected, she should be eager to return to her own country.

Is it because I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt?

Robin's brain spun rapidly, thinking about what if [Hero Kaye] returned home—

First of all, whether the people in power in Sekred will welcome her.

This is a big problem.

The reason why people revere the hero, engrave it on the monument, and hold it up to the altar is more or less because the hero is dead.

It will not endanger the interests of the people who are now in the present.

Nor will the power of those in power be affected in any way by a dead hero.

On the contrary, the worship of heroes has the effect of promoting the unity of the people and maintaining the rule.

But—

Once the hero comes back from the dead, the situation changes completely differently.

Kaye would be seen by those as snatchers of power.

Robin glanced sideways at Kaye.

The other party also had a helpless smile on his face.

The minds of the two seemed to be in sync.

Kaye pouted, "They're not going to welcome me." “

She spread her hands and shrugged her shoulders, looking loveless.

"Even if I don't want anything, even if I just want to go back and farm honestly, help chop wood and water every day...... They won't accept me. ”

Kaye shook his head, "A hero who has come back from the dead, as long as it is placed there, will become a sun."

My light was given to them by the people, but there was no way to give it back to them.

A piece of sky will not allow two suns at the same time.

Therefore, returning to China is destined for me to die. ”

"......" Robin lowered his head and opened his mouth to say a word.

How ironic, love heroes, worship heroes.

But they couldn't let her come back.

Such a person in power......

Such a country......

Such a human ......

Robin silently clenched his fists and placed them at his side.

"To be honest, I like you a lot." Kaye laughed.

"Huh?" Robin was somewhat flattered.

"It's a lot like when I was younger.

Kindness.

Susceptible.

Consider her people.

And unusually smart. ”

"......" Robin didn't know if she was complimenting him or herself.

Or maybe it's the opposite.

"But that's not good." Kaye shook her head, her long windswept blonde hair behind her ears, "You're going to have a lot more responsibilities and pressures than normal people, you're going to need a lot more strength to fight it all, and everything around you is going to force you to grow." ”

She turned her head and stared at Robin in the eye with burning eyes.

"That's the price of a hero."

"Hero ......" Robin's gaze was lost for a moment, and he smiled bitterly, "I don't want to be a hero yet." ”

"But you already are."

Kaye's words were like a bolt of lightning.

Pierce the sky.

Deafening.

"When you become the Chosen One, you are destined to be extraordinary."

"When you choose to sacrifice for others, you become a hero."

"When you are alone in the hope of carrying the future of all people, you have become the stars in the sky, carrying hope."

Robin's chest rose and fell violently.

A scorching stream of air flowed down the blood for a long time.

"So, it's going to have to be faster." Kaye whispered in his ear.

"What?"

"Grow faster, faster."

"Faster ......"

Robin clenched his hands and clenched them into fists.

"When you carry everyone's expectations and become a hero, there will be a magical power that pushes you to grow." Kaye blinked mysteriously, "Wisdom in particular, that's what makes you strong, powerful enough to hold up a world. ”

"Wisdom ......"

Robin's eyes suddenly brightened up.

It's like groping in the dark for a long time, and finally ushering in the first light.

"Looks like you've got it." Kaye smiled with relief.

After thinking about this, Robin's heart suddenly brightened.

It was as if the heaviness and exhaustion on my body had been swept away.

His pace was brisk, following Kaye's footsteps.

……

"So, that's the first piece of advice," Kaye laughed happily, "as long as I can hide my identity well, I can avoid unnecessary trouble." ”

He believed in the promise of heroes.

If this heroic identity is revealed, it may involve the diplomatic level of the two countries, and even ......

Robin couldn't figure out the complicated relationship behind it for a while, but he vaguely felt a little scary.

"Okay." He nodded with a serious face.

Robin revisited it, and now there are only a few people who know Kaye's identity-

Heloise, Gail, and the vampires.

He wasn't worried about those people in the Holy Blood Empire, because it looked like they wouldn't be back for a while.

The fear of vampires is enough that they will not be able to do anything in the short term.

What about Heloise?

No, she wouldn't, after all, she couldn't reveal that she had been with us.

What about Gail?

Robin looked at Gail.

The other party was also looking at him.

"Lord Robin." Gail nodded, "I'm not going to say it, the gods are above." ”

That's enough. Robin laughed with satisfaction.

He believed in Gail, and if even she couldn't be trusted, then the world would really be nothing but lies and deception.

Kaye nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Second ......"

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute, Kaye! Robin cut her off in a hurry, "What about those vampire corpses?" And your empty tomb! ”

He turned and grabbed Kaye's shoulder, his heart pounding.

"Wouldn't that be discovered, the traces of the fight can't deceive people, why is the tomb empty? If these are not dealt with, how can we hide our identity? ”

Kaye was slightly stunned and looked at him with some amusement.

For some reason, Robin now reminded her of someone who had the same black eyes, like nightfall......

The Chosen One was much more shrewd than she had imagined.

It's not just a spell banter with a lot of skills.

"About that." Kaye laughed, "I don't think I have to worry too much. ”

"Why?" Robin looked at her puzzled.

"First of all, we don't have the time." Kaye pouted, "From what I've learned, the longer you stay, the more dangerous it becomes, and it's better to leave a messy scene than to get caught alive at the scene, right?" ”

“……”

"Secondly, the disappearance of Kaye's body is also a good thing in a way, and it is difficult for anyone to think of resurrection. The first reaction of the Sekorids must have been that the vampires hated Kaye for it, so they destroyed the tomb and brought back the corpse.

Oh yes. ”

Kaye smiled and held out his right index finger and winked at Robin, "Before leaving, I smashed that statue that didn't look like me at all!" ”

“……”

"This is a good thing for the people in power right now." Kaye smiled slightly, her amber eyes sparkling like stars, "If they've ever faced conflicts with the people, or if others have been dissatisfied with the rulers, then—

The fact that the hero Kaye is dug up by the vampires is bound to unite the entire kingdom in a short time. ”

Her gaze was calmly fixed ahead.

Let out a sigh in my heart -

Just like it was more than a hundred years ago.
