Chapter 63: The Cemetery

The cemetery at the head of the slope of the village of Ravennu is still as silent as ever. Under the careful care of the villagers, the grass on the hillside is neatly manicured, except for the scattered wildflowers that grow on the graves. Here, the people who died in the "Hundred Days Battle" are rested, and Misha's young soul is rested......

The dead are gone, but the living remain. A bloody war ten years ago not only took the lives of the victims, but also left an indelible scar in the hearts of the remaining people. Every year, people come here, bring sacrifices, and have a long conversation with the soul in the tomb who used to laugh with her, and only the goddess can hear it; The other kind of person is full of self-blame and anxiety, and after solemnly placing the bouquet of flowers, he is silently melancholy......

…… And today, these two people have met. The setting sun seemed to be deliberately pulling the strings, and slowly imprinted the old back on the young people who walked uphill with white roses in their hands-

"It's you......" Seeing Agaté, General Morgan somehow became a little nervous.

"I didn't expect to run into you here. Isn't the work of the army very busy right now? Agaté looked confused.

"The communication with His Majesty's side has ended, and the order is to stop harassing the dragon and go all out to support the relief and reconstruction work." General Morgan sighed, "Mayor Mabel is now in talks with the new civil engineer and financial planner, and I have nothing to do, so I'm just here to pay my respects." You're here to worship your sister, aren't you? Then I'm rude. "With that, we have to stride away.

"Don't worry, General, I didn't say you were in the way." Agaté said with a wry smile, "And every year, a guy comes here like me to put a bouquet of white roses...... I didn't expect this person to be you. ”

"I don't know why I'm doing this." The old general was stunned.

"Alright, we'll talk later." "If you don't do it, the flowers will wither." ”

"That's right, then ......" With the remembrance of the deceased, everyone put the newly picked roses in their hands in front of the tombstone and bowed their heads in mourning.

"Now you are no longer impetuous, but give people a sense of calmness." Morgan looked at Agaté's gentle movements and said softly.

"yes...... If it had been before, I would probably have complained about why you and the army didn't do a good job then...... "but now I understand that, like the ills of the army, which I have said more than once, guerrillas are not omnipotent...... At least in this disaster relief effort, without the help of the military's high executive power, it would have been nothing at all. ”

"Hmm...... The problem of the ills of the army that you mentioned earlier...... I reconsidered it, and I feel that there is some truth to what you say. Through this incident, I learned that the important point is the difference between people and organizations. If the organizational strength of the army can play its due role, then the tactics and policies of your guerrillas will certainly be useful. Don't you think so, no matter which side is missing, this incident will not be resolved smoothly? General Morgan was also very relieved to see that his hard work had been understood by the other party.

"Huh...... So the army, like us guerrillas, guards what it should protect in its own way. ”

"Stick to the belief that each other is guarded in their hearts, and sometimes they are opposed and sometimes they work together for the things that each other needs to protect...... Is that so? ”

"Haha, that's right. Well, I will continue to criticize you unceremoniously in the future. Be mentally prepared? Agaté smiled and held out his hand.

"Hmph, that's my line. Don't be rash anymore, keep it in mind. The old general was still unforgiving, but with a happy expression, he held Agaté's hand tightly.

"Huh...... I'm sorry to disturb your peaceful atmosphere. Please allow me to interrupt briefly. A magnetic voice suddenly sounded, and when I turned my head, I saw a young man with pale blond hair holding a white lily on the hillside.

"Huh...... Let's not talk about it for the time being...... Levy's gaze swept over the crowd as if he were facing a great enemy, and finally fixed on General Morgan with a puzzled expression, "It's not the first time I've met Your Excellency General. I am Reinhardt, the executor of the Snake of Eater. I used to have a relationship with you as "Lorens" at the Haken Gate. ”

"Association——! You guy...... What are you going to do......

"This is the resting place of the dead. There's only one thing I can do here...... Or do you want to continue the fight from the other day here? Levi glanced coldly at Agaté, who gritted his teeth and finally sighed and got out of the way.

Lévy silently walked to the tombstone, gently placed the bouquet of white lilies in his hand at the back, and was silent for a moment, the mourning look was sincere and full of sadness, not like a fake.

Reinhardt ...... You're the Sword Emperor Levy, right? General Morgan carefully considered his words, "I also do not want to disturb the sleep of the dead...... Just have a question that I want to ask you. ”

"Feel free."

"In this case, you seem to have done your best to control the dragon's runaway control in order not to cause too much damage. And now, they have come here to mourn the deceased...... Why would someone like you help a sinful organization? Why bring the destruction and chaos to this land? Could it be ...... Do you have anything unspeakable? ”

"The reason why the dragon got out of control was just to do the 'experiment' correctly. Why over-pull innocent residents into it when it is not necessary? ”

"But ......"

"I have my own consciousness. Whether it's the Snake of Body, or the land called Liberal, nothing can sway my will. Levy's gaze was coldly fixed on Morgan, "Everything is just a tool for me to achieve my goals." Please don't compare me to you who have forgotten the name Hamel. ”

The words "Hamel" were like lightning bolts, and General Morgan froze on the spot.

"Alright...... Agaté Kolosner. Your will is now firm, but it is meaningless if you don't have the strength to accompany you. Next time, don't think it's as simple as breaking another sword. Lévy ignored the old general and turned to Agaté to the side.

"Hmph...... Just what the doctor ordered! Don't think you're always that more than enough. I'll catch up with you soon, come to your senses. "Agaté is scrappy and high-spirited.

"Hehe, then I'll wait and see." With that, Levi turned to leave, pausing slightly as he walked up to Helriga.

“…… Thank you. I found a lily at the foot of the mountain that bloomed vigorously. Levy's eyebrows twitched into a smile.

“…… You're welcome. Hehe, did you send it to that sister too? Heliga was stunned for a moment, and then responded with a smile.

"Of course." After saying this, Lévy never stopped and left directly.

The people stopped talking, as if they were thinking about their own thoughts. A gust of night wind blew, pulling a few bouquets of flowers that had been placed in front of the tombstones. Finally, the last bunch could no longer withstand the instigation of the wind, and the petals began to break away from the corolla, flying higher and farther until they disappeared......
