The hometown that Ani and Su Mo had mentioned was called Marai, a powerful empire located on the other side of the sea outside the wall, and they had the technology to turn humans into giants, and sending Ani and others to infiltrate the wall was also an order from them.

According to Ani, not all humans have the ability to turn into giants, and the people who have the potential to become giants are the Eldians, and the humans who live inside the walls are all Eldians - and they once built a huge empire on the continent, only to be expelled from the continent by the Marais, who can only be isolated on an island in the ocean.

- And in the Marais Empire, these Eldians, who can transform into giants, are called demons by them. Although Ani didn't say it explicitly, Su Mo could also guess that when the Eldian Empire was dominant, these brainless giants who were only interested in devouring humans and the Eldians who could become such brainless giants were indeed nightmares in the hearts of other races.

And the only ones in the Eldian Empire who can maintain their sanity while transforming into giants are the nine wise giants who have inherited the power of the giant's ancestor, Ymir Fritz - just like the Beast Giant, Ani's Giantess, Reiner's Armored Giant, Berthold's oversized giant, Ymir's Giant and Allen's giant form - according to Ani, Allen's elf-like pointed ears and no lips should be the most bizarre Attack Giant among the wisdom giants. In addition, there are the Coachman Giant, who is also in the Marais Empire, the Progenitor Giant, which is supposed to be held by the Fritz royal family in the wall, and another Giant who is in the hands of that faction that even Ani does not know what abilities he has.

The method of inheriting the power of the Wisdom Giant is simple, but it is also very cruel - that is, after an Eldian has transformed into a Brainless Giant, devouring the previous wielder of the power of the Wisdom Giant.

Like Ymir.

It was only when she was wandering outside the wall as a brainless giant that she devoured a companion who had come to the island with Ani on a mission that she gained the power of the Giant, and that person's name was Marseille, Marseille Jaliard. Ani says he's a warm-hearted guy who cares about his fellow human beings - a bit like Reiner, who came to the Inner Wall Training Corps and grew up.

"It turns out that this is why Ymir chose to make himself a Rainer, and their spoils of war returned to Marais."

After hearing Anidi's many revelations, Su Mo's first reaction was that he finally fully understood the reason why Ymir made his previous choice - this reaction was really a little strange, because even Levi, who seemed to have locked on that mean expression on his face all his life, rarely widened his dead fish eyes to show surprise after hearing this. Qingzi was even more frightened, and hurriedly threw two waterless small cakes into his mouth to suppress the shock........

"Doesn't the instructor blame me for telling you the truth now?"

The giant horse neighed, shattering the dead silence that had lasted for a hundred years in the desert.

Already on the verge of reaching the beach, Su Mo was sure that none of the Survey Corps members had ever extended the extramural survey route so far - because the current exploration record holders were him and Levi.

Ani looked a little depressed, which was a novelty. Because this girl, who has always had a cold expression and a cold temperament, reacts to the outside world either by ignoring her or by disgust and unhappiness, and she usually speaks little, even when she travels with Su Mo in other worlds, it is difficult to find any vivid emotions on her face. Although people close to her know that she is actually a pseudo-three-nothing, standard cold on the outside and hot on the inside, but unfortunately there are very few people who can take the initiative to get close to her.

But there is good news - at least under Su Mo's aura (as for what aura, don't delve into it, cough cough affects the image), this girl is far more lively than before, although it still looks like an iceberg to outsiders, but Su Mo dares to pack tickets, if they contact Alan for a few more days, they will definitely be startled by the current Ani. After all, it is rare in the world to be able to stand next to the girl who complains about Su Mo with a cold expression when she is idle........

After all the things she went through, Ani finally saw through everything she had been - when she traveled through many worlds, saw a powerful existence that could destroy a world even with a flip of her hand, and suddenly looked back, and suddenly found that the problems that once plagued her now seemed so simple and small - to use an inappropriate analogy, it is as if a person does not care much about the distribution of food by a few ants.

She felt a little dissatisfied and shy that she didn't understand this until now, because this kind of thing that even she didn't pay much attention to before, but because of the obstacles in her heart, she refused to tell the instructor who was stronger than herself, and Ani even felt that she was really a little ridiculous.

Su Mo just smiled gently as if he had seen through Ani's thoughts: "You have always been scared and entangled back then, haven't you?" Otherwise, you wouldn't have been pursuing power all the time after being persuaded by me, how could I blame you? However, I was a little surprised by the truth about the giants, and it seems that many of the previous doubts are enough to answer. I've always wondered why the three giant walls of Maria, Rossi and Sheena were formed in such a short period of time under such productive conditions - it seems that the Ancestral Giant of the Fritz royal family who can manipulate ordinary giants ordered those brainless giants to form hard objects like your crystals and quickly formed three walls, and at the same time they also practiced ignorance education within the walls, completely cutting off the history of the past....... Create a solitary twilight paradise? ”

Escapism is the same.

After deciding to rush to the mainland as soon as possible, the four people who no longer focused on killing giants rode their horses, and suddenly the yellow sand not far away suddenly bulged, and the yellow sand in the bulge disappeared like flowing water, revealing the bodies of several giants. The expression is frozen with hideousness and blankness, and innocence and cruelty seem to converge at the same time. They were all supposed to be humans, but they lost all their sanity and consciousness after being turned into giants by the Marais Empire and dropped on this island. I don't know how many years Imir has been wandering in such a place, and there is no doubt that Yumir is the only lucky one among them.

I can't save them.

The long sword swung diagonally, and the furious sword qi impacted and abrasively like a hurricane, destroying everything in front of it.

There was not the slightest sense of conscience or guilt in my heart, even when I knew that these giants were originally innocent human beings.

There is no need for that, at most it is just a little more helpless, not to be expressed.

"Ah, by the way, Ani, isn't there any other way in the legend to disarm the wielder of his giant abilities without harming his wielder's life?"

The four-man team showed no signs of being affected by the vignette, and the horses, which had been running continuously all day under the enhancement of the magic, did not show the slightest hint of fatigue.

"As far as I know, no, theoretically probably not."

Ani shook her head.

Levi was puzzled: "It's quite a powerful force, why do you want to lift it?" ”

Indeed, in this world, under normal circumstances, giants represent the strongest combat ability of a single body, and ordinary people would not expect to lose such power.

But Su Mo noticed something else and sighed: "You know, whether it's Allen, Ymir, Reiner, or Berthold, the consumption of their vitality far exceeds that of their peers. ”

Levi was stunned: "Life force consumption? ”

"Or maybe there's a similar problem with the soul - if nothing else, a human with the power of an intelligent giant should not live more than thirteen years."

The Brainless Giant has an almost never-ending lifespan, but after standing at the top, he can only spend thirteen years awake, and this period will continue to shorten with the continuous use of the giant's power.

"Legend has it that the first giant, Ymir Fritz, was exactly thirteen years from the time he signed a contract with the demons of the earth to awaken the power of the giants until he died."

Ani added, her eyes, which had always been as cold as ice, softened a little like an iceberg thawing: "Maybe I'm the only exception." ”

"Nonsense, if you follow me for many years, you can't live a long life, thousands of years, a lifetime of flowers, moons, red faces, and troubles, that's a waste."

Su Mo said slowly.

"The flower and the moon look bad and the red face seems to have nothing to do with the instructor, right? You're not a cosmetic surgeon......."

And then sure enough, I was still complained about by Ani, obviously still under this serious atmosphere.
