31 Persuasion

Night shrouded Fengxing Town, and the originally lively night market has long been lifeless. Walking through the deserted streets, Kran took Milo back to the library, and after making a "don't make too loud" gesture, Kran opened the door and the two went in together.

Erin fell asleep on the bench, her body rising and falling slightly with her breathing. Kelan lit an oil lamp, illuminated half of the room, and said to Milo behind him, "I'm going to continue to check to see if there is any historical information that can help the current situation." She pointed at Erin, "As for you, stay by her side." Kran's voice was soft, but he still said it word by word, so as to attract Milo's attention and make him try his best to save the relationship.

There was no affirmation or denial, and Milo quietly came to Erin, knelt down in front of the bench, and gently covered Erin with the thin quilt. Irene's face had stretched out as she fell asleep, and the light of the oil lamp shone on her face, flashing two tear streaks, like gilding, reflecting a harrowing sheen.

Koran put on her big wide-rimmed glasses again, flipping through them slowly, glancing at Erin and Milo from time to time. Mello tenderly stroked Erin's hand, trying to make her feel cared for—even if it had hurt her heart just now. I don't know if I felt it, Erin rolled over, pulled her hand back, turned her back to Milo and continued to fall asleep.

"If I do something wrong, I hope you can forgive me, past, today, and ...... future," Melo whispered softly, hoping that the words would reach Erin's heart to make amends for his mistakes.

After a long time, a faint white light had appeared on the eastern horizon, and the sky was about to dawn. Klan was still flipping through various books, while Milo remained on her knees beside the sleeping Erin. Milo, who noticed that it was nearly dawn, got up and walked over to Kolan's desk, and he also saw that Kolan, who had been a librarian, had pulled out nearly five or six stacks of books from that magical pocket, stacked on top of each other to be two stories high.

"Aren't you sleepy? Stay up late like this and flip through the books. Milo asked with concern.

"Well, due to the influence of time magic, my body feels different from ordinary people about hunger, thirst and sleep, and sometimes I don't feel bad if I don't eat, drink, or sleep for several days. Even the rate of physical growth has slowed down, and in the past few decades, my body seems to have aged only a few years. Kelan took off her glasses and put down the book in her hand, ready to take a break.

"That way you'll have enough time to do what you want to do, and your life will be meaningful." Milo sighed with emotion, and the thought that he might die soon made him feel emotional.

Kelan smiled bitterly and shook his head, as if he didn't agree with Milo's words, "Look, Milo," Kelan pointed out the window, "The sun will rise in a while, and people will get up and go out into the street to start their day, eating, working, and sleeping every day...... It seems to be a cycle, but it is the operation and growth of life, even if they are doing the same work for several days in a row, people's lives are constantly growing and renewing. "But now, the whole world is going on and running, and I'm forced to slow down, unable to keep pace with everyone else, or even to make room for newborn children...... You may not be able to understand this feeling. ”

Melo paused for a moment, and then quickly returned to a noncommittal smile.

Kelan saw through Milo's thoughts, and continued: "You may be thinking, 'I don't want to die' or 'I want to live longer', this is true, this kind of thinking is not a problem, but the God of Ten Thousand Sources created life, and she must set an end for her, otherwise everything cannot return to the origin of all things, so how can new things be born?" Just like a river, it flows and eventually joins the ocean, so that the new water can continue to flow, and if it does not flow into the sea and accumulates in the river, sooner or later it will not cross the bank of the river and become a disaster...... I've thought countless times if I could have stopped my husband from casting time magic on me, and I would have followed in his footsteps and into the sea with him. ”

Milo was stunned, he thought of someone.

Seeing that the other party didn't react, I was afraid that I was serious, Kelan hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said such a heavy topic......"

"No, no," Milo hurriedly explained, he was afraid that Kelan would misunderstand, "I just thought of something out of the blue......"

We all know that Milo is thinking of wind chimes - how did this person who locked her time survive these hundreds of years?

"Kelan, what does it feel like to be alive forever?"

Kelan closed his eyes and replied softly, "Annihilation." ”

The sun had risen and the sky was fully bright. Erin struggled to prop herself up, rubbing her tired eyes, trying to understand her current condition. She was so sad before she fell asleep that she was soothed by Kolan's spell that she barely fell asleep, and when she woke up, she felt uncomfortable that she didn't know what time it was.

Bright sunlight shines through the windows of the library, illuminating the shelves and the books on them, as well as Kolan's desk, and the "book wall" next to the desk. When Erin saw the one-person-high "book wall", she felt an indescribable strangeness and curiosity, and she even got up to touch it......

"Oops, little Erin is awake." Kelan's concerned voice came from the other side of the "book wall", because it was too sudden, Erin's outstretched hand quickly retracted, and Kelan also appeared from behind the "book wall", and at the same time took off the large wide-rimmed glasses.

"Last night...... This one...... Not there, right? Erin asked in a daze, if she didn't remember such a strange "book wall" before she went to bed last night.

Kelan stood on tiptoe and landed the book in his hand on the highest place, "I've been flipping through it, and before I know it, it's stacked like this, and the trouble is to put it back in my pocket one by one." Kelan seemed very relaxed when she spoke, it seemed that it was not the first time she had consulted information like this, and she was already familiar with this kind of work.

"It's past breakfast time," Kelan paced two steps around the "book wall", as if still looking for any clues missing, "Are you hungry?" Would you like to have breakfast with me? ”

Although Erin was not hungry, her current physical and mental condition did need to replenish energy, so she agreed.

Instead of returning to the fortress dining room, the two found a restaurant in town to grab a bite to eat. "Are you feeling better?" Kelan asked with concern.

Erin smiled wryly, telling that the pain in her heart had not completely subsided.

"Reading is happiness, writing is bitter." Kelan once again said her interpretation of love, "Husbands and wives often quarrel when they live together, not to mention that you still need to run in well." People have been in the world for too long, and it is not easy to find a suitable home, so don't hesitate to let go. ”

"Well, thank you, Kran, but I still have his ...... in my heart" Erin understood what Kran was trying to say, she didn't want to give up the relationship.

"Hey, in fact, he has you in his heart, you must know this." Kelan nodded and said, "After you fell asleep yesterday, he was by your side until dawn and did not leave...... It's just that in the current situation, you are all haunted by an unpredictable future, and your hearts are full of confusion, overwhelm, and even extreme thoughts......"

"What should I do? Kolan. Erin confided anxiously, and after learning that Milo had been waiting for her all night, she also felt that she had gone too far last night.

"Hey, I can't give specific guidance, I can only make suggestions: for now, let's solve the current 'Shaling crisis' first, which is the source of your emotional conflict, both of you need to calm down, and the cold war and confrontation between lovers are not beneficial. Accompanying and supporting you silently is what you can do. Even if the two ignore each other, don't do things that hurt each other, feelings are mutual, and they are always mutual. Kelan's persuasion made Erin mouth suddenly, her face showed a glimmer of hope, and her heart was more open-minded, after her "dare to love and hate" and "reckless" style of acting was wrong, she could finally make up for some scars.

"Kelan, I'm lucky to have met you...... It's wonderful......" Erin said gratefully.

"Silly boy, there is no need to say thanks, if you really love, you must be tolerant in your heart, and don't be deceived by your own doubts and suspicions."

The conversation continued, perhaps never imagined how much Kran's words would have on her later experiences.

"Our stupid big man, don't hide there either," Kran got up and shouted out of the restaurant, "Come out, I've seen you a long time ago." ”

Erin hurriedly looked at the door, and Milo suddenly appeared, with a guilty look on her face and a bandage on her head, but on the whole she was in good spirits - which also made Erin breathe a sigh of relief, she was afraid of smashing Milo into a bad situation.

"I'm leaving," Kelan left the money on the table and walked out gracefully, "Don't forget tolerance and trust...... May you have a great day. ”

Klan left the restaurant, leaving Erin and Milo behind, both of them looking at each other without saying a word, but both looking at each other with affection - maybe last night's conflict could not be resolved so easily, but this mutual gaze still gave the two their relationship room to maneuver.

"We all need to calm down......" "Let the heart calm down......" the two blurted out almost at the same time, and the subtle coincidence made the two smile bitterly......

After a sleepless night, Kelan returned to the library and picked up the valuable information she had sifted through the many books she had sifted through the previous night:

…… Legend has it that between 1220 and 1230, there was an all-encompassing scholar in the desert who could teach everything, and countless people were interested in worshipping him as a teacher, but very few people could see him......

"Hey, it's just a legend, but it's a clue that can be investigated."
