"I... That's how I became a Guardian? ”

Trying to digest the information that came to his mind, Ani muttered after signing the contract. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"That's right! What do you think? As I said, I have no intention of harming you, nor do I have the need to deceive you. Chen Yan snapped his fingers and said proudly.

"En......"

Arnie looked herself up and down and tried to clench her fists.

I don't know if it's an illusion in my heart, Arnie only feels that her body is more relaxed than ever.

Ever since she accepted the giant potion given by the Marais government, the curse of only living for thirteen years has been haunting her heart, making her heart always have a trace of despair, a trace of sadness for this dark world, and now these pessimistic feelings have slowly disappeared from her heart.

The curse has been broken, and his life is suddenly free of the thirteen years of countdown, and Ani, who has always been indifferent, faintly has an urge to cry, tears not for sadness, but for joy.

"Hehe, in short, congratulations, in addition to being liberated from these thirteen years of curse, you don't have to force yourself to carry out the so-called task of seizing the power of coordinates given to you by the Marais government." Chen Yan smiled and clapped his hands and said.

At this time, Chen Yan's eyes flashed with a little light, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, looking quite rewarding.

In the process of subduing Ani as a guardian, Chen Yan learned for the first time from her mouth that those who inherited the power of giants could only live for thirteen years.

Since the comics hadn't talked about it before he crossed over, Chen Yan was also slightly surprised when he first heard this information.

The 'road' that transports the flesh and blood needed to transform into a giant, and the coordinates that guide the giants, each has a different power of the nine giants......

If you look at it this way, the water in this world seems to be deeper than it seems!

Chen Yan pondered in his heart for a moment, and realized that the power of the Nine Giants was like nine inheritable pieces of online game equipment, or the kind of cursed equipment that needed a price to launch.

This kind of power, which requires the user to burn his life in order to exert his power, is quite in line with the nature of the abilities that a demon would give to his followers.

I can't say, the so-called 'demon of the earth' who has signed a contract with Ymir, the ancestor of Eldia, is a real demon.

But from the current point of view, this guy who is suspected of being a demon has no signs of existence in this world at all, probably thinking too much.

But thirteen years of curse...... In that case, hasn't Eren already spent several years after inheriting the power of the Ancestral Giants from his father?

Hearing Chen Yan's words of congratulations, Arnie threw a grateful look at him.

Now Ani no longer feels so hateful in her heart, on the contrary, in the face of this hero who seems to have come out of a fairy tale to save her, there is a faint feeling in her heart.

No matter how cold the iceberg is, when it is illuminated by a warm enough sun, it will gradually melt, releasing delicate flowers covered in ice.

While he was extremely grateful for his words, Anixuan remembered something else.

"Chen Yan, in the future, you are going to go to Marley to take my family to a safe place, will this be dangerous for you? I don't know the specific situation of Marley now, and I feel that there is only ...... I can help," Arnie bowed his head a little ashamedly.

Before signing the contract that Chen Yan had given him, which was clearly expected to become his hand, Ani put forward the condition that Chen Yan would be able to place her family in a safe place in the future, so that they could live in peace and peace.

If she had given up her mission and brought disaster to her family, Arnie would have regretted it.

"Hehe, no problem, Ani, you don't have to worry." Chen Yan smiled and dispelled Ani's concerns.

"In a few years' time, my strength will surely grow to the point where I can easily defeat them even against the Marais army head-on, and at that time, it will be easy for me to get your family out, and you don't have to worry about my safety at all."

Arnie was relieved at this time, "That's good, I believe in you, you are quite strong now, I can't imagine how strong your strength will be in the future." ”

"After becoming a Guardian, you will progress with me, become stronger than everyone else, and shoulder the responsibility of protecting this world together." Chen Yan smiled and encouraged Ani.

"Yes! While enjoying the benefits of this status, I will take up this responsibility! ”

Ani nodded very firmly, and then a very emotional look appeared on his face.

"I really didn't expect that the countless endless worlds are suffering such a great catastrophe, and compared to this kind of catastrophe that can destroy the world, the struggle of our human beings is really too small."

“……”

Looking at Ani, who was full of emotion and a sense of responsibility, Chen Yan decided not to tell her the actual situation of the endless world for the time being.

If Arnie had known that his five colleagues had already put this seemingly horrific disaster to rest, I wonder what kind of expression she would have had at that time.

"Alright, let's hurry back to the camp, if we stay a little longer, it won't make the others suspicious." Chen Yan suggested.

"Well, let's go back quickly." Arnie agreed with Chen's thoughts.

As she was about to return to the camp, she remembered the two former collaborators at the camp.

"Chen, what about Reiner and Berthold? What are you going to do with them? Ani, who was walking with Chen Yan in the woods, asked curiously.

"The two of them......"

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Yan, who didn't have a good impression of these two people, said lightly:

"The two of them did that kind of thing in the past, after all, they were stained with too much blood, and there is no turning back, you just need to hide your identity as usual when you go back, continue to train with others, and when the time is right in the future, I will take action."

"Got it."

Arnie stopped mentioning the two people, and quietly returned to the barracks with Chen Yan.

When they returned to the barracks, the two of them happened to hear the bell ringing from the training corps, so they separated and went back to their dormitories to sleep.

Who would have thought that two people who seemed to be on the same page during the day would become close companions in the short period of time at night!
