13 Return to Freedom

It's time to go back to Planet 10 and to the story of Milo Entekoman and others.

Let's recall the end of the fifth book, on July 3, 1806 in the imperial calendar.

By the time Melo Entecoman had detached himself from Savia Anselson's memory, it was already afternoon, and the sun had pulled a long, slanting shadow for the sea lion castle, sending the heat from the window into the cell. Maybe it was because of the heat, maybe it was because of something else, but Melo in the cell was sweating profusely.

Ulf Tiger (pseudonym), commander of the Imperial Army, stood in the hallway next to his cell and looked out the window, his face ugly from the memory of others for so long, and like Milo, his collar and cuffs were soaked with sweat.

The Koran Dutved and the Green Dragon Mercenary, along with the "Memory Probing Spell Stone", have disappeared, perhaps because Milo has not been able to recover from Sevia's memories, and the two are afraid of disturbing them, so they say goodbye.

Severia's memories are like a long dream for Milo, so illusory and magical; It's like reality, an adventure that I have personally experienced, full of all kinds of ups and downs in life, and finally ends with hatred and no regrets...... But Sevia still left behind a valuable legacy and important clues.

Project Stellars, Watcher, Capsule System, Nanobots, Vision Disrupter, Reincarnation Spell Stone, Control Clearance, Hibernation Pod, Survival Pod...... These are so abstract, incredible, and unbelievable to him, but they are still affecting their planet, Planet 10, and even determining the birth and death of life on 11 planets...... It takes a long time to accept and digest them, and of course you don't have to really understand them, because that's not his story.

But Milo unexpectedly gains the power to change all of this - the genes of Sevia and Mike, and the strong heart to overcome the "visual distractor".

But since these magical abilities were acquired by chance, then—what is it?

Of course, Mello knew it, so did Ulf in the hallway, and so did Koran and the Green Dragon Mercenaries: Milo Entecoman was the only person on the planet who had control of the Watcher and its modules and the "capsule system" - which meant that he could end the "Curse of the Stars" once and for all, but at the cost of sacrificing himself and those who came with him.

It is very necessary to exchange the sacrifice of oneself and a few people for the continuation of hundreds of millions of lives on 11 planets, no matter how you look at it, but the key is whether the person concerned has such an awareness?

- What's more, this person, what he is best at is evasion.

……

The jailer came to inspect the cell with a large set of keys, and when he saw that the door of Milo's cell was still open, he walked over to lock the cell door amid the sound of "clang" keys -

"No need to lock the door." Ulf hurriedly walked over and said expressionlessly, "Let him go." ”

"What......?" The jailer thought he had misheard.

"Let him go, it's an order." Ulf said it again, but his voice did not rise.

The jailer, who was about to close the door, opened the door to the maximum, signaling that Milo could come out, but the latter was also at a loss, not knowing what medicine was sold in Ulf's gourd. Milo hesitantly walked out of her cell and was pulled by Ulf to her desk at the prison door. Milo watched in confusion as Ulf scribbled something on the note, which was shoved into his hand—

"This is Miss Akay's temporary residence, go to her when you get out of prison, and I'll look for you after dinner." Ulf said, pulling out a small cloth bag from his pocket, the sound of metal hitting indicated that it was coins inside, "Take this money and take a shower, wash your dirty clothes, or buy a new one, I suggest you go to the 'Sail' bath, remember to find Tracy, she has the best skills, don't look for Peppa, she likes to roll mud on her body......"

"Hey! What the hell are you ......" Milo asked, confused, quickly interrupted—

"I'll take you to trial tomorrow morning, don't try to escape, it's our eyeliner inside and outside the city." Without giving him a chance to interject at all, Ulf left without looking back, leaving Milo completely unclear.

Catch up and ask? There was no need at all, Ulf's style was obvious, he said that he would meet with Erin in the evening, then he would definitely not break his word, and he was planning something. Fortunately, he is not an enemy, and Milo does not have to worry about Erin's safety. But being locked up for nearly a month and being released so suddenly felt somewhat casual, and just as Milo was thinking about it, he was kicked out of the prison by the jailers who came over.

Dirty, smelly, and with nowhere to go, Milo had to follow Ulf's advice and return to Wall City first, and the guards at the gates did not embarrass him, most likely because of Ulf's instructions. Passing through the city gates, Milo discovers that Spellet's new army has completely taken over the city, and the frequency of patrols is still quite high, and Milo guesses that they are clearing out the rebels, or maybe there is a major event to be held, and there is no shortage of interrogations along the way.

Following Ulf's words, he went to the "Sails" bathhouse and found the appointed waiter, but Milo received no other information, but simply took a shower and cleaned his clothes - "not the appearance of a connector...... Do I think too much? "Until he left the bathhouse, nothing special happened," what the hell is that guy doing...... No matter how much it is, let's go to Erin first. ”

With a new look, the patrol no longer bothered Milo, and he quickly followed the note's instructions to find the place where Erin had temporarily settled: an upscale apartment hotel. Melo announces his name at the porter, who gives him a room key. "Even here's the report? Or has it been planned for a long time? "When I came to the room, I found that the door was locked, opened with a key, and there was no one inside.

"I didn't come back from my trip." Milo came to the kitchen and found the ingredients for dinner, it was still early to eat, so he could help make some while waiting, so he picked up the kitchen utensils and began to process the ingredients. Soon the neat semi-finished products were laid out on the board, and he brought another piece of fine beef—

"Sacrifice?" The thought that finally faded back into my mind, "I'm not afraid of death, but I now have someone more important than my own life to protect." If I had made a sacrifice, most of the people on that planet would have survived, including her and them...... Alas, is it the hesitation and entanglement that you had when you were about to fall into the 'Shaling Crisis' again? Sacrifice is a noble but helpless act, even if the deceased is willing to be more awe-inspiring, it is an extremely irresponsible practice for the living...... Perhaps at this moment of influencing the fate of all beings in the world, we should not only consider our own feelings, but ...... Why don't I want it to end in the best way possible? Can...... Alas, I'm sorry, Ai-"

"Milo! Are you back?! The girl's excited shouts came from the door, and Irene Akay, Milo's lover, had finally returned.

"Here's the kitchen, Erin." Milo's thoughts were interrupted, but Erin's return made him feel so excited, and it had been nearly a month since the two had been separated from each other at the convent. Before Milo could gather up and get up, Erin rushed straight into the kitchen and hugged him from behind, almost hitting his face against the board.

"I knew you were okay, you were okay! Parrett and Koran always scare me, saying that you are having a miserable life at Sealion Castle, and that I am worried to death......" Erin said with tears in her voice, but she was probably so tired that she cried like a child of seven or eight years old, and Milo didn't know how to comfort her, and even made him want to laugh......

"Look," Milo tried to straighten up, but was held down by Erin, "I don't have anything, and thank you for letting Parrett take care of me all the time, and I heard him say that you still go up and down to apologize for me......"

"Don't mention it! I'm not going to do that for you anymore! Erin twisted her arms and body, and said with a tantrum, "If it weren't for the traitors in the city and the nobles were not allowed to leave the city, I would have gone to the Sea Lion Castle to find you!" ”

"Oh, I see, even you have to investigate, it seems that the Imperial Army is still so rigid!" Milo sneered and said that he finally understood why Erin couldn't come to see him in person, "Then you just went to ...... too"

"The nobles in the city have been having tea parties for the past few days, and they are preparing for the signing of a peace agreement in the future, and I went there to inquire about the news, and then someone told me that they saw you in the city...... Great, you're finally back! Erin's voice was a little unrefreshed, she was exhausted by the worries and busyness of these days, and she was now hunched on Milo's bent back, almost motionless.

Milo smiled with relief, but the gloom in his heart had not yet dissipated, and after a moment of silence, he decided to confide in Erin the truth: "Erin, we have found a way to save the planet...... But it needs to ...... Huh? Erin? ……”

"Shhh...... Hiss ......"

"Huh? Fell asleep like this? Milo was still bent over, her body didn't feel sore because of the perennial exercise, and Erin fell asleep on his back like this is quite delicate, "Don't bother her, it's been too hard lately......" Milo carefully cut the meat on the board and kept her body still, so that Erin could sleep peacefully, and the entanglement in his heart could be put down for the time being......

The sun was slowly setting, the kitchen was gradually darkening, and the smell of other family's rice wafted outside the window...... "Huh? Am I asleep? Erin woke up and realized that it had become dark around her, "Huh? It's all this time? Wheat...... Huh? Have I been sleeping on top of you? You haven't moved? ”

Merlo was finally able to straighten up, light the candles and oil lamps in the house, and responded to all of Erin's doubts with a smile: "You must be hungry, I'll cook for you this time." ”

……

At the dinner table, Melo told Erin about his experience at Sea Lion Castle, of course, he didn't say anything about Sevia's memories and his willingness to sacrifice himself, and in this warm atmosphere, he didn't want to break this rare happiness like this.

"Just release you? There's definitely something wrong with that! "Erin also felt strange when she heard that Milo had been released suddenly.

Only then did Mello remember that Ulf had said that he would come over after dinner, and was about to remind Erin—

"Tuk, tuk, tuk!" There was a rhythmic knock at the door.

"Here we go!" Erin opened the door without asking who it was, "Kran, Parrett, let's see who's back!" ”

Koran Dutved and Parret Chewarier walked in, and they were overjoyed to see Milo present, "I remember we only met in the morning, and we were released. All the best, right? Kelan greeted kindly.

Parrett couldn't hide her excitement and gave Milo a big hug: "Why did you come out so suddenly?" You're not going to do something big, are you? Hahaha......" The two sat down, Erin put away the dishes, and at this time-

"Tuk tuk ......" There was a hurried knock on the door, and the visitor seemed a little impatient.

"Who's coming?" Erin asked as she opened the door.

"Excuse me, I'm ......" Before the visitor could finish, Erin slammed the door with a "bang".

Parrett was taken aback: "Who is it?" Villain? ”

"That's right! Ulf, that guy! Erin snorted.

Kelan smiled and said, "Little Irene, let him in, he asked us to come here to discuss an important matter together." ”

"Humph!" Erin opened the door angrily, and Ulf saluted and went straight to the living room.

"Good evening, friends! Milo, you're packing up nicely, much more decent! The girls at the bath are well served, right? Ulf greeted Milo in a flirtatious tone, drawing a frown from Parrett, a roll of Mello's eyes, and a glaring glare from Erin. But he quickly put on a very serious tone and attitude: "Okay, let's get down to business!" ”

Erin also sat aside and asked angrily, "What's the 'right topic'?" ”

"Of course, it's the main topic of completely breaking the 'curse of the stars'!"

"Huh? Have you found a way to break the curse? Erin was surprised.

Seeing Erin's surprised look, Ulf and Koran seemed to understand something, "It seems that you haven't told her yet." Ulf said to Milo in some deep depth, "Well, Miss Akay, I'll tell you—"

Milo tries to stop Ulf from speaking out, but is persuaded by Klan's gentle look and gestures.

"Milo can break the 'Curse of the Stars', but he also has to sacrifice himself!" - Erin finally learns the truth.
