Verse 602: Spring Comes (3)
Man has the power to chase desires, just as dreams are entitled to be carried in their arms.
Turning the first page of the tutor's diary, Anna saw this line.
Completely different from the latest diary she found, the mentor of this period seemed to have inexhaustible energy and optimism.
With each page turned, the joy and anticipation of the mentor was evident to the naked eye, his first apprentices were growing, he was like a farmer, looking forward to the harvest, he did not know what he would face, and he did not know that his first experiment had almost put him in a situation from which he would never recover.
The goddess of fate is truly a cruel deity.
Anna flipped through the diary, until the last few pages, Anna saw the blood stains on the diary page, saw the red lettering, saw the despair of the mentor, and even saw the sentence.
Flesh and blood are weak, I have no strength, not even a wolf, and when my apprentices fall, I can't even save their souls...... What do I have to do to save the world?
This world, when will it be redeemed, do I have an answer.
At the end of the day, a mixture of blood and tears remained, and Anna took a deep breath before handing the diary to Lena and standing in the small room, the deepest part of the sanctuary and the mentor's first home that year.
There were some huge towns above the Vault, but the people of the Eastern Kingdoms eventually forgot about it and that it was once one of their true homelands.
"The diary concludes with a mention of a place in the north of Copenhagen called Gribskau, where our mentor thinks that the people of the Eastern Kingdom are too weak, and that he wants to go north and meet the northern men of steel." Anna said as she looked at Liana, who had opened the journal.
"Then he might as well come to our Isle of Eternal Night and meet our elves." Lena said, as she noticed the little ghost Phauta, sleeping like a human, holding a doll that had been mended: "This doll looks like a mentor's work." ”
"Yes, just look at the position of the needle, poor boy." Anna looked at the little ghost.
This was the first time the teacher had come into contact with a spirit, and he said that the child had been sacrificed as a villager by her village...... As ridiculous as it sounds, before the Age of Apocalypse, ancient humans built star rings, freed from the constraints of gravity, and lived in the universe outside the atmosphere, with spaceship groups shuttling back and forth between lunar colonies and asteroid mineral belts.
But in the eighth millennium after the Great Apocalypse, ignorance and ignorance once again befell this land, and the Mentor knew her at a very young age in Fagluta, a child with a certain divine gift, but talent is not necessarily a ladder to promotion, and sometimes it can also become food for evil gods...... The evil god asked the town to sacrifice the tower of Pharagua for him in the name of needing a living sacrifice to save the town, and the mentor paid the last bag of gold in his pocket to save the child, but was deceived by the priest of the evil god.
He watched as the child was sacrificed to the evil god, but instead of being defeated, he tried his best to avenge Phauseta, until he met the then king of the Eastern Kingdom, who received him because of the efforts of his mentor after gathering the legend to hunt down the priest and the weak evil god, and he said, you have no strength, you can't save even a child, how can you save the world.
The tutor replied that knowledge is also power, and that he has knowledge, and that he can teach children who are strong enough and then let the children come and save the world.
Therefore, this academy was actually established by the original king, and in that era, the Eastern Kingdom used to be the kingdom with the most high-end combat power, until that rebellion.
The ghost of the tower was supposed to be purified, but it still recognized the mentor, and at the teacher's plea, the ghost of the tower was spared, and in the following time, she became an existence like a bound spirit, and she could only live in this area.
"Let's go." In the end, Anna chose to leave: "Go to Copenhagen." ”
Leaving the vault, the old living corpse Quinta turned to look at them as the massive iron door closed behind them.
"Let's go, the Vault will soon be out of service due to lack of energy...... My mission is almost complete, but I'm here waiting for you, waiting for you to execute me. ”
“…… Quinta, you know, our mentor, has a ...... Maybe the only child. Anna looked at him and said.
She saw the glint in the living corpse's eyes, saw the twisted smile on its face, but soon, the light was gone, the smile was gone, and he looked at Anna with a puzzled face: "The Mentor said that he would not give birth to an heir, because if he or his heir were captured by the Chaos Gods, he might choose to kill himself, but that child ...... That child may become a coordinate of the world he is in, and chaos will take advantage of it. ”
"It was a boy, born to a giant girl, and he ...... Born with divine power, he has a very high talent for magic, and he can also have spiritual energy. Lena added, "Do you know anything about such a child, such as whether our mentor has said all this to your face? ”
"No, our mentor...... At least when he was here, he didn't say that there were many girls in the female apprentices of that period who were in love with him, but he never responded to anyone, there were several girls, and in the end they fell because of twisted love, so why mention this child, what are your intentions. ”
The living corpse Quinta's gaze gradually turned cold, and before he turned angry, Anna relieved him: "His name is Marin, he is a child who is stronger than our sisters, a legendary mage and psyker, we will tell him about your existence, if he is willing to come to see you off, you will be satisfied." ”
The living corpse hesitated for a moment, as if to confirm the expressions of the two, and finally, he grinned and nodded.
"You're not lying, okay, I'll wait for this kid, wait for him to come and see me off, tell him who I am, tell him not to hesitate, of course, if he doesn't come, I won't blame you, after all, the mentor said, don't force someone to do something he doesn't like to do."
"I'll tell you there, and now, we're leaving." Anna said.
This time, the living corpse was sitting on the ground, and he nodded slightly: "No problem, you guys go, just like I just said, if your discovery can save this world, then go." ”
………………
Walking out of this abandoned town, Lena turned her head to look at the half-collapsed building, and sighed at the changes of time to this world: "Anna, this world, can it really be saved?" ”
"Surely, even if the mentor can't do it, we have to do our best to do it, Lena, remember the memories left by the ancients of the Great Destruction Age that we saw during our travels, they didn't give up in the midst of that horror, what right do we people have to give up."
After Anna finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and hugged her sister, Liana's face was full of sadness, and she hugged her sister: "The more places I go, the more I am afraid, Anna, we have seen so much destruction, so much helplessness, eight thousand years, elves like us, in the eyes of the ancients, are just toys that can walk, but now, we have human identity, and share this apocalyptic world with the descendants of the ancients, we stand in the same trench, but ...... When all this slides into the abyss, can we really have salvation, can we really save the planet under our feet from the hands of those chaos, can we save the children, can we save the struggling beings in this world, will we be heroes, will we be the flame bearers who hold high the fire of civilization, we ...... Will it win. ”
"Yes, Lena." Looking at the tears on her sister's face, Anna stroked the top of her head: "Believe me, do you remember what the mentor wrote in his diary, the final mechanism under Fort Carter, the day is really coming, if we really fail, even if we transform ourselves, completely eliminate our desires, transform ourselves with the shell of a machine and the soulless electronic organs, edit our will with data and logic, take the destruction of chaos as our duty, and save this diverse universe as the premise, even if we die, we must become warriors, believe me, Lianna." , us, and our generation, and our descendants...... We will all throw ourselves into it, even if we imprison ourselves in a metal shell, even if we are like Marin in another world, we will not give in, look at me, Lena, do not give in, fear is the poison of the heart, pluck up courage, drive away the fear in your heart, my Lena, the brave Lena, the Lena who will always stand before me. ”
Lena finally laughed happily, the horn of her forehead was gone, and Anna's sister reached out and hugged her.
"You're right, we can't give in, even a weak foreigner like the Mentor who can only arm himself with knowledge has never been afraid, how can we be afraid, how can we give in, Lianna, my sister, thank you."
"You're welcome, my sister, we are free beings, born so that our next generation can have a chance to no longer face the threat of Chaos, this is the only mission of all the inhabitants of this planet beneath our feet, so, Lena, let's go." Anna encouraged Lena as a teleportation opened behind her: "Let's go, let's go to Copenhagen, let's follow in the footsteps of the mentor...... Anna, let's find out the truth of everything, let's see, our Marin...... Is it really the right thing to do? ”
Looking at the smile on Anna's face, Lena also laughed: "You are really not a good mother, for the sake of a little possibility, you actually chose to let Faye marry Marin." ”
"My daughter loves him, he loves him so much, I'm just in the beauty of adulthood, I'm just letting my daughter get what she wants, so, Lena, let's go." Anna took Liana's hand.
"Hmm...... Let's go, let's go find the truth of what the Guru said, look at our Marin, and we can still do that.
