Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Twenty-Five Year Covenant

"What did you say?"

Allen's brows furrowed tightly

"The demon said: Forget it, let her go, "Creation Poem" is also safe with her. The demon god can take action by himself, but since the demon god didn't make a move, but kept her life, he must have his own plan, let's go back......"

Eren slumped into his seat, and Tia held his hand tightly in worry, but Eren remained silent.

Mother: Why... What happened in between? Who am I? What is the relationship between me and the demons? What is the meaning of "absolute justice" that my father made me understand and implement since I was a child? Alan's brain spun fast. But I couldn't figure it out at all, and speculated about what was going on.

"Ellen, judging by your reaction, that young woman can't happen to be your mother, right?"

"What?!"

Tia looked up in surprise when she heard Ilte's words. Alan slowly touched Tia's hand that was holding him tightly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath,

"She must be my mother, her name is Martha. It was also when I was nine years old that she brought back a book, which she buried in the yard behind the house, and used a protective magical enchantment. ”

Alan's slightly sad voice pierced Tia's heart,

"She's your mother? Then that book is "Creation Poetry"? ”

Tia really felt that this matter was becoming more and more confusing, and she was completely out of thought. One after another, "accidents" hit her heart. Although Alan once said that "Genesis Poem" is a book of demons, Tia really didn't know that Alan's mother would have something to do with this book.

"I don't know why my mother buried this book in the ground and set up an enchantment, I only know that my mother told me that this book should not fall into the hands of demons, and my mother was killed to protect this book."

Without opening his eyes, Alan leaned back in his chair, tilting his head, perhaps fearing that tears would crawl out of his eyes in sadness.

"No wonder you said not to pursue this book because of what happened to your mother."

Ilt tapped Alan on the shoulder.

"That's when I learned that the "Creation Poem" was stolen, and after that, this magic array was never opened again, except for summoning the god of purgatory."

Ilt also sat down in his chair deflated, and the three young men all seemed to be in a great shock at the moment, and they were silent to each other.

"It seems that today is not the right time to continue discussing my affairs, so let's do it for now, at least you now know why I joined you and helped you. However, Alan, Tia, as I said before, it is true that I was with you in the beginning for the sake of the Creation Poem, but now that we have experienced life and death together, it is completely different. I really want to be friends with you and continue to adventure and explore the unknown. The curse or something, fate can naturally be solved, otherwise, it is worth it to get to know you and 'him' in the past 25 years. ”

Ilte's hearty smile infects Tia and Allen,

"Ilte, I know you're not as happy as you seem, but, trust us, Alan and I will definitely help you! We're going to be good friends for life! ”

With tears in her eyes, Tia sincerely stretched out her little hand to Ilte, and Alan also stretched out her hand to cover Tia's head.

"You have so many secrets, twenty-five years is not enough to tell, allow you to hide, twenty-five years later, we will still be together, when the time comes, it will not be as simple as now to let you go!"

"Hmm!! Okay, I'll see what you can do with me! ”

Ilt smiled, and the three hands were clasped together,

"Alright, I'll go first."

Ilt turned his back and spoke in a somewhat nasal voice,

"Moo moo moo!"

Moo Moo stood in front of Ilte, dancing with his hands, out of nowhere he conjured a handkerchief, jumped up vigorously and wanted to hand the handkerchief to Ilte, Ilt grabbed the handkerchief, lifted Moo, and trotted out all the way,

"Alan, Tia, see you tomorrow! Don't make it too late! ”

The language was still laughing like that, but the crystal liquid was sprinkled all the way along the back of Ilte's departure...

After Ilt left, Eren and Tia were left in the study. The two sat side by side on the bottom floor of the bookshelf, Alan looked quietly ahead, Tia also had a conversation with Alan, she knew that at this moment, Alan's mood must not have calmed down, all she could do was stay by his side so quietly.

"Tia, I originally thought that there was 'no absolute justice, but there was absolute evil' in this world. However, this kind of thinking may really be too extreme for me, after all, we can't use the word 'absolute' to judge, after anyone is named 'absolute', whether he is good or evil at the beginning, it will eventually become an indelible mark for his life. ”

Since Allen was a little self-aware of the power in his body, his original worldview had been destroyed beyond recognition in the past two days, but he had no clear direction.

"Alan, our goal is actually the same, the pursuit of justice, believing that only under justice, above the royal land, the earthly world will be a paradise. However, your thoughts are not wrong, a person who is named 'absolute' is pitiful, because he has no way out, let alone a chance to do it all over again, Alan, we will not become that kind of person, let alone force anyone to become that kind of person, 'I am justice!' This statement is not without reason! ”

Alan buried his head deep in Tia's arms, like a child, at this moment he was a little contradictory, and a little relieved, the contradiction was that he didn't know if such a self could still carry out such "justice", relieved to let go of the attachment to good and evil, and the world in front of him seemed to be much wider. ……

After chatting for a long time, I originally wanted to linger with Tia for a while, but the heavy concerns finally made Alan choose to say goodbye to Tia. dragged his tired body back to his residence. Although his whole body felt like he was about to fall apart, what he heard today made him unable to sleep for a long time: since his mother was able to enter the demon base camp, and even go to the room where the demon god kept important items, it meant that she must have some kind of connection with the demon race, so what could it be?

Was the father also involved? Or in the dark? But on the other hand, I feel that since my father has been guarding the "Creation Poem", it proves that he should know the truth.

Maybe the only one who hasn't been told the truth is me, mother, you love me so much, but what do you want to hide from me, and why do you want to hide it?
