Standing behind the heavy doors of the Sanctuary, Duck quietly opened a small slit in the curtain and looked out.

Outside, George, dressed in a tight black clergyman's robe, was praying with his head bowed and his face sad, all of Stanford's delegates standing solemnly in front of Duck's grave.

Isabella sat behind Dark, put her hands on her cheeks, and asked with a grin, "How is it, Lord Governor, how does it feel to see your funeral?"

"Quite special," Duck said with a grin, putting down the curtain and not watching George's performance anymore, "at least, the faces of those people are real, and it seems that I, the Governor, are doing a good job." ”

"Do you want me to use my divine powers to bring you back from the dead?"

Duck laughed, "Please let me walk in the kingdom of freedom for a few days." It took a lot of effort for me to die, and you just want everyone's hard work to go to waste?"

"Just kidding. However, it took a lot of work to rescue him from being shot like that with a crossbow arrow, right?"

"There is no salvation at all, the killer and the hapless governor are all fake. Riley built it out of the organ printing room, and George personally controlled it with a psychic hive, directing and acting in a big play. It was less dangerous than the assassination of Hassan in Arayu, where I hid behind the scenes and watched the magic video live. ”

"And what about the real murderer?"

Mosaria didn't know how strict Stanford's identity verification system was, and the Assassins were targeted as soon as they got off the boat, and then they set a long line to catch big fish, and within five hours of coming ashore, all the Assassins were caught. Do you know who did it?"

"Who?"

"Aladdin, the god of lights, that guy has been a bodyguard for the rotten Bercas in Kunshabi's stomach for almost twenty years. Hit that ruthlessly, single-handedly, and controlled the situation almost instantly. I reckon that he has the strength to fight Wilde in perfect form. And then, you know. ”

Speaking of this, Duck smiled self-deprecatingly: "George, this guy, I sent the Makarov airship out early, and when the assassination broke out, it had already flown out of the base of the whistling ice field for a hundred and ten kilometers. If Jacques hadn't haughtily refused, instead of sending someone to coordinate the handling of the assassination, I don't know how he would have ended. ”

"Anyway, it's all about us, isn't it?"

"Yes, one last thing," said Duck, taking the girl's little hand, "our wedding is about to begin, and George never breaks his word, so you can trust that character in this regard." Are you ready?"

Her face flushed: "Of course." What about you?"

"Well, not yet, there's something missing. ”

"Ahh

Darker pulled her into his arms with lightning speed: "Lack of this!"

"Whoa, whoa, you hate it—a-a-"

Then, she melted into the man's broad, thick chest.

An hour later, Governor Dak's funeral ended, and the delegates and citizens dispersed. George hurried back to the sanctuary and began to change into the wedding celebrant's clothes. Duck and Isabella's wedding is about to begin.

Secret, of course.

An unloaded ultra-luxury Makarov airship awaits everyone.

This is what George did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to create for this wedding.

George had promised a spectacular wedding to Duck in the sky and on the sea.

How can we not stir up the people without attracting the attention of others? Of course, it is standing on the nine heavens, overlooking the common people, but the common people can only look up and cannot get a glimpse of the truth!

"Dak, I'll make it up to you later. In you, I see another me, another former me. If I never go back to my world, let this compensation be a memorial. ”

On the airship, in a small, uninhabited room, George sat in a chair and muttered to himself.

Anyone who attended this wedding was all insiders. There are relatives like Riley, friends such as Royce, Isis, and Shaqi, as well as friends such as Hikstu, Arrin, Ramos, and Aladdin who have made during their travels, and many of them have turned enemies into friends.

Looking at the full house of guests and recalling his isolation in Port Snell, George was filled with emotion.

In a little more than two years, the seeds of a new era have germinated.

There was a knock on the door, and George cleaned up his mood and said aloud, "Come in." ”

Pushing the door in, it was Royce, his expression was very strange, but there was a hint of relief: "George, the bride and groom have run away and released our pigeons - should this be called elopement or something?"

George was stunned for a moment, crying and laughing: "Ran away? These two guys are really ...... Did you leave anything behind?"

"Left a letter, here. ”

George unfolded the letter and read it carefully.

"George, by the time you read this letter, Lara and I were already gone. Now that the Dark God Cult is full of talents, I, a guy who can't do literature and martial arts, should let Xian be good as soon as possible. Besides, dynastic hegemony, that's not what I want.

"At this moment, I just want to say sorry to all of you for letting you go once. The most important thing about weddings is the feelings of the two of us, I thought about it and thought about it, but I still couldn't listen to the screams of the people, look at the blood all over the ground, and taste the wine and the magnificence of life at the same time. I've heard Riley say that when you watched Carol's execution on the Ponza Tower, you didn't say anything at the time, but when you came down, your face was worse than a dead man. You don't want to be like those scumbags, and you can understand me and Lala, right?

"I'll miss the days we walked together. Starting from Port Snell, the rainforests in the south, the deserts in the east, and the ice seas in the north, we have found countless kinds of special, many and even unknown slimes, and made them into weapons for human beings to transform the world, which is enough to make us shine in the annals of history, but, George, what I admire most about you is not the prophetic prophecy and scientific breakthroughs, you have done a better job in guiding everyone to understand humanity itself. ”

Seeing this, George smiled, put down the letter, let out a long breath, and continued reading.

"You're a brilliant liar who used slimes as bait to trick us into seeing all sorts of social transformation schemes. The bloody slave lord rule of the southern jungles, the most extreme theocracy in the womb of the mother of the sandworms of the Dead Desert, the rule of the factory owners in the icy sea of democracy who are in fact a feast of flesh and blood for the rich, and the old civilization that has sunk to the bottom of the sea and was once highly developed but has killed itself because it neglected the development of man himself, I think that if it were not for our appearance, it would probably become the future of the present era. By the way, there is also the Kingdom of Doland, our starting point, which is still firmly bound by clerical and royal power to this day. You have led us to the past, the present, and the uncertain future of humanity. Tell us which roads say 'this road doesn't work', so I don't hate you, you're a good liar.

"After a long journey, the veil of the gods over the word human has finally been lifted. This is a time when the long night is about to pass and the morning star has not yet risen. This is a time when the majesty of the gods is beginning to dim, and the value of human beings is not yet fully recognized. This is a time when mages have fallen from the altar and technology is still called alchemy. If you are a burning torch, then I am an unsung flame and I will continue my journey with the faith of an evangelist and a martyr. ”

"Goodbye George, I'll be watching you in the shadows, cheering for your accomplishments, but if you lose your soul in Vanity Fair, I'll definitely come and clean you up. Goodbye, hopefully, all the best, never again. ”

The letter was signed "a man with no regrets." ”

George gently folded the letter, put it in his left chest pocket, and walked to the porthole of the airship to look down at the vast sea of clouds.

"The greatest success, the greatest failure, the best friend, the worst enemy." Goodbye Dak, hopefully, all the best, never again. ”（）
