"Speaking of which, I didn't say why I'm curious about you, did I?" Vita looked at Ike with interest, "Even so, you're still unconsciously or deliberately avoiding my gaze. ”

"It's the body's instinctive response to danger." Ike shrugged, "If someone were to be sent to follow them all day, I think he'd do the same as I did." ”

"Maybe." Vita didn't deny it and continued, "But I've found some very interesting information in some obscure intelligence halls, and the identity of the witch is actually quite convenient, she can easily let you see information that is difficult for ordinary people to find, especially those that can be buried. ”

“。。。。。。”

"Polkats is a very old surname, and although they are not powerful or prosperous, they are older than the known ancestors of Liber, and his lineage is so old that it is difficult to even trace the lineage. However, they are very weak and insignificant, without the favor of the gods, without extraordinary talent and martial arts, and are an extremely ordinary family. The apocalyptic apocalypse involved the Pokats, who had been living a low-key life, into a disaster, and the already sparsely populated small group had to leave their ancestral land to go to various places in order to survive, and one of them chose to settle in Erebonia. As if it were a curse, every time this group grows to a certain size, there will always be a great catastrophe that befalls you. The civil war more than 200 years ago caused this family, which had managed to leave a trace of life in the empire, to die in the war again, and the already mutilated inheritance was also wiped out in the sound of swords. Lost their heritage, lost their people, and those who survived chose to blend in with the nations because they could no longer maintain the bonds of this ancient surname. Vita's eyes flickered, and she said with a hint of inexplicability in her words, "But there are still some people, although they have lost everything, but for some reason they still choose to settle in a small valley that is so remote that it can no longer be remote." Soon after, a vein of the Seven Dawn was discovered in the valley, and the number of people attracted by the vein gradually increased, and finally it became a mining town, perhaps by coincidence, perhaps in honor of that surname, the town was named Medron, which, like Polkatz, has the literal meaning of ancient times, called Blessing. ”

"That's a sarcastic name." Ike scoffed, "Did you choose the curse as a blessing, or did you choose this name to ask the gods to spare them?" The witches are really a bunch of unfathomable guys, and they even have documents from the Great Collapse period preserved. ”

"Even the gods can't erase the traces of human existence, and only humans themselves can erase human beings. Although the Great Avalanche wiped out most of the civilizations, there were always some insignificant people who survived and passed on those insignificant fragments of history with this ray of life. Vita smiled, her expression and tone were strangely pious, "People will die eventually, the ancient family will disappear, only you, even though you have undergone countless major changes, are still tenaciously active to this day." A true blessing is not given for nothing, but a hope left at the most critical moment. ”

"Even if it's just one person?" Ike taunted. "I have told so many stories about my life experience, I don't know if the story is true or not, what you said has long been impossible to verify, and I don't care about the so-called family past, I am Ike, Polkatz is just a mark given when he speaks, everyone is desperately struggling to live, and you attribute all the efforts made by people to destiny, which is the greatest blasphemy against people. This is God's work, don't be too arrogant, Abyss Witch. ”

"Arrogance ... Is it? Maybe. Vita laughed to herself, "But there is not the slightest respect for the gods in your tone, this is what makes me care, you care more about the existence of humans than the gods, right?" ”

"Why compare real people to ethereal gods, who died in the winter more than ten years ago. Reverence for God is what the church should do, and people should decide what people should do, not on things that cannot be seen or touched. ”

"You suddenly talked about Ike's background here, does it have anything to do with the next action?" Levy, who had been silent as an audience, suddenly asked.

"Let's look a little farther afield." Vita replied meaningfully, "The Erebonian Empire is just a corner of the world, and although it is important enough, it is only part of the story. Orpheus's plan could not be stopped, the goddess of the sky gave the seven treasures that gave the gods great power, the ancient forces accepted this gift, and at the same time obtained the unparalleled power, they also recognized the jurisdiction of the goddess of the sky, human beings can no longer decide their own fate, all fate will be attributed to the goddess, do you know how terrible this is? As Ike said, God attributes man's will to fate, and man's fate is in the hands of God, no matter how just the gods who hold their fate and how much they like humans, but humans eventually become the instruments of the gods. Vita said words that made people think about it as if she was reciting a narrative poem, and her calm tone was as calm as flowing water, but at this moment it seemed extremely calm, "However, although the gods can control the fate of mankind, they cannot change the destiny of heaven, and in the final analysis, the gods are only great beings born from the destiny of heaven." ”

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"The surname Polkatz is not born with great strength and intelligent minds, but they have been able to maintain themselves to this day in many catastrophes, what they have is a higher level of existence than strength and mind, it can be said to be intuition, it can be said to be luck, it can also be said to be destiny, the power that has been engraved in the bloodline since the appearance of this name, is the only blessing of this heaven and earth to those who have not deviated from the path, they weaken with the dispersion of the bloodline, and converge with the condensation of the bloodline, whether it is the period of the Great Collapse, Or in the civil war more than 200 years ago, there will always be a person named Polkac who appears in people's field of vision, shining like a meteor, and then disappearing from people's sight again, this is the truth of the name. And as the last person to bear this name, what will your options be? Ike Polkatz. After Vita finished speaking, her calm eyes looked straight at Ike, and her beautiful pupils seemed to be talking, listening, and waiting for Ike's answer at the moment.

"It sounds like I'm the savior of the end of the world, but my biggest weapon is luck or something, which is really not interesting." Ike helplessly spread his hands, "However, if you really want to give an answer to the story you said... Ike grinned after speaking, and looked at Vita in front of him very sincerely.

"Boring—"
