Chapter 1229: Embrace the Flames
readx;?Time goes back to the night of Chaglin's visit. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After Shaglin asks to speak with Lucy alone, the two go to Lucy's room. Lucy lit the lamp, and under the light, Chargling seemed to constantly radiate a misty light, making her look extremely holy. Lucy noticed a hint of sadness on her brow.
"Teacher, did you foresee anything?" Lucy said softly, "Those bad things......"
"Little Lucy, I saw something. But I'm sorry I can't tell you, so as not to affect your judgment. Chagrin stretched out a finger and gently scraped Lucy's face: "I can only remind you that once the Great descends on this planet, the fate between him and Eren will be tied in a dead knot. ”
"Father...... Will he kill Alan? Lucy asked in a trembling voice.
Charglin shook her head and went to the window. Looking out of the window, you can see the lights of the city. Quiet, but alive. Xia Gelin said softly: "Your Majesty, he will not kill Allen, of course, it will be easier to directly remove the threat from the time it is not budding." If it were someone else, I'm sure he'd do it. But Alan, he couldn't. ”
"Because of you, Lucy. Your Majesty, he loves you dearly, and he loves you more than you can imagine. Because of you, he will only take Alan. At least until Eren is completely transformed into the Children of Dusk, he won't let Eren worry about his life......" Shagrin said this, showing a helpless smile: "But Eren will not let the Emperor take him, he is a flame." When there is no restraint, the flame shines brightly. If this had happened before the trip to Earth, I think Eren might have chosen to give in for you...... But now, his heart was filled with anger. And his pride, which he does not allow to be trampled on at will. ”
"So Allen will refuse, and the consequence of refusal is to go to war." Charglin shook her head and said, "The war between two men is doomed to not end peacefully, and this is what I just called a dead end." Because both of them, they have reasons to persevere. And in this war, both of them are right, but because of this, there is no room for a turn......"
"What then?" Lucy walked back and forth and finally said, "Or, I'll go find Alan, and we'll get out of here." The universe is so big, there is always a place for us. ”
"I think so too, but does Eren think so? What's more, if you can hide once, you can hide a few times. The Emperor and you are close blood, and as long as you are with Allen, he will be able to find you by virtue of the connection between the bloodlines. My little Lucy, the universe is big and small at the same time. ”
"So, is there no way?"
"Yes......" There was a strange light in Xia Gelin's eyes, and sadness and helplessness floated in that light: "That dead knot, only you can break it." Lucy, that means you'll be separated from Alan. I know very well that the pain of being separated from my lover, if I can, I am willing to replace you. But I can't, only you can, because you are the most powerful link between those two men. At the same time, only you can cut their tangled threads of fate. ”
"I can tell you how, but it's up to you whether you want to do it or not." A tear fell from her right eye, and she said, "I just hope that moment never comes......"
Back to the moment.
"Now is the time, Ms. Shaglin. I think I'm ready......" Lucy said in a voice she could only hear, and she stepped back, but the muzzle of the Golden Rose didn't move away from her for a moment.
Griffo's face was conflicted, he didn't dare to keep up, and even disarmed himself, just so as not to cause Lucy to misunderstand.
Behind the Duke, Ofasc and Alan arrived and came to Griffo's side. Alan shook his head before he lifted his feet, and heard Lucy shout, "Stand there!" ”
"Stand there, Allen......" Lucy smiled, but the smile was so poignant that it was heartbreaking, "Don't come here, just listen to me quietly there." ”
"You always insist that you are right. Of course, I know that none of you are wrong, but your persistence makes me miserable. You can go to war for what you hold on, but you will not be quiet and listen to my heart. But now, you're finally quiet, even if you're forced. Lucy looked at Allen and said with tears in her smile: "I still remember that when I was in the death ring, when I was poisoned, he said to me...... I won't give up on you. ”
"Lucy......" Alan lowered his head, not daring to look at the girl's gaze. It's so gentle, yet so tender. So even the flames on that head were gradually fading, and Alan didn't even know it. At this time, only the girl's voice was in his ears.
"At that time, I was deliberately alienated by my father, and mocked by my brothers and sisters, like a doll that was casually discarded in a corner, and no one would look at it again. When I participated in the death ring, I was just angry with my father and embarrassed him. But I didn't expect that it was there that I met you, and at the same time let me know that I wanted to move a person, and I did it in a simple sentence. Lucy smiled and said, "So I'm trying my best to hold on to you, like a straw that lasts my life." Because you're the only one who won't give up on me, and that's how we walked all the way. From the star of the underworld, to here, to the Garden of Eden. I hold on to you, just to be with you forever, that's what I want. ”
"Although there are more and more girls around you, although I know that you can't love me alone, although I will also be angry or even sad about which girl is next to you. But what is all this compared to losing you? Before today, I thought there was nothing more terrible than losing you, but now, I had to let it go myself......"
Alan clenched his fists, looked up and said, "Don't say any more, Lucy." Let's put the gun down first, okay? ”
Looking at his red-eyed eyes, Lucy shook her head slightly, and then looked at Ofasc: "Father, I know that I am very willful, and I have been making you angry. Actually, I know what I know, even if you don't say it, even if Miss Chaglin and Duke Griffo don't tell me, I know it. You love me, and you love your mother, because I have seen you cry bitterly at your mother's bed more than once. ”
Ofasc's body began to shrink, and when he returned to his normal form, a layer of golden light obscured his body. He looked like a god, but a sad god.
"I deliberately made you angry, in the final analysis, I just wanted you to look at me more. My father, after all, is a king. He has so many children that even though he loves me, he can't give me more attention, so I can only ask for it. Lucy smiled sweetly, "Yes, not anymore, father." I'm not going to you off again, I'm going to do what you want, I just beg you to let me be willful again today. ”
"Father, I beg you to let Alan go. Let him get out of here, let him have the freedom he deserves! Lucy said loudly, "As long as you agree to my request, I will go back with you." From now on, Lucy is only your daughter, and I will not make even a single request. ”
Ofascist closed his eyes and could see that his whole body was tense, and his fists were clenched. Alan on the other side said in a deep voice: "Lucy, you don't have to do this! ”
"No, I have to." Lucy shook her head and said, "I have to do this, you know." Alan, the only way to do this is so that I don't have to see any of you get hurt. Only by doing so will your father be able to temporarily let go of his responsibilities as king, and you will be able to get the freedom you want. ”
"But what am I going to do without your freedom!" Alan shouted, and his voice turned soft, "If that's the case, I'd rather ......"
"Don't say it." Lucy said softly, "Don't say that, the man I love, he is a flame, not a candle trapped under the lampshade." Get out of here, Alan. Give you, and a little time to your father. I am sure that you will find a different path. Even now, even if you have awakened, I still firmly believe that you will not go down the path that ends all things. ”
Allen's skin turned from red to white, the rock armor pieces on his body fell off, and even the pair of curved horns on his forehead were scattered like sand in the wind. He reverted to his human form, back to the person the girl was familiar with.
A long sigh.
Ofascist bowed his head and said, "Inform our space fleet and let them disarm them." No action is allowed without my permission. ”
Griffo was stunned and looked at the Emperor in disbelief.
Ofascist looked at Lucy and said softly, "No father can refuse a request from his daughter, I am the king of justice, but I am also a father." He turned his head to look at Alan again: "Let's go, I'm willing to gamble for Lucy." Since Lucy believes in you, then I am willing to believe in you. Alan, do what you can, don't go down that path. Otherwise, at the end of the road, there must be me! ”
Eren ignored the Emperor's words, and he just looked at Lucy.
The girl opened her mouth, but did not make any sound.
Eren read her words.
I love you forever......
With a long roar, Eren dodged away. He lifted Bai first, and then walked away in the direction of the south. The whistling lingered in the wilderness, and Lucy let go of the Golden Rose, and finally let herself cry bitterly.
After today, she didn't know if she would be able to see Allen. Even if you say goodbye, I don't know what year? What month? When?
The starship in the sky rained down a beam of light on Ofasc, and a moment later, the Emperor walked out with a robe on. He walked up to Lucy, gently lifted her up, and said, "Come home, child." ”
Lucy nodded, at this moment, how weak she was.
A month later.
The border lands in the south of the empire are now very different, Storm City and Black Iron Fort echo each other, so that the thieves who were active in this area before gradually disappear, not to mention that Storm City is now strong and strong, just the lord of Black Iron Fort Hagus successfully broke through level 20 half a year ago, and no thieves dare to provoke. Hagus has become a veritable big man in the Far Lands, and his will can completely influence the development of the Far Lands.
However, including the merchants of Violet Harbor, they all know that it is not Hagus or Storm City that affects this area, but the co-masters behind them.
The young earl named Alan.
Especially not long ago, when news came one after another, claiming that Count Allen had broken through the thirtieth level and established the height of the Ten Holy Powerhouses, no one dared to question the fact that the earl was hidden as the lord behind this land. What's more, news came one after another from the side of Iron Spear Ridge that the second prince of Gun City promised that when he returned to the northern capital, he would confer the title of Duke Allen, and it exploded in the border land.
Violet Harbor is bustling these days, with inland merchants coming to the port by boat to actively trade with the three cities of Violet Harbor, Storm City, and Black Iron Castle. Merchants are notoriously unprofitable, and since there are inland merchants who are trying to seize business opportunities in the birthplace of the future duke, it naturally indirectly confirms the reliability of those news.
For a time, the name of Violet Harbor was still ranked above Ark Harbor.
Those roads that were usually quiet are now bustling with activity. The road from Violet Harbor to Storm City and Black Iron Castle has seen caravans coming and going every day for the past month, so a few carriages are not so dazzling.
In one of the carriages, unmarked, Edward was calmly looking at the man opposite. He leaned against the window, his eyes downcast, his eyes calm. But time will always see a little sadness in his eyes, at this moment he is more melancholy than usual, a little less sunny, but he looks different from the temperament of the past.
"You really don't plan to stay?" Edward asked.
He looked up, and the afternoon sun poured in through the window, illuminating his eyes as bright red as flames. Alan whispered, "I thought we'd talked about this enough. ”
"Actually, I don't think your concern is unnecessary, but it can be solved." Edward sighed, "With your current strength, Julian would love to hold your thighs. With the second prince behind the scenes, I am sure that the power of the entire south will be channeled to your advantage. At that time, even what the Federation wanted to do, it was not so easy. So you see, I don't think you have to leave. ”
"Edward, I know what you say. But I have my own concerns, and yes, with the power of the Empire, I can not be afraid of the Federation. After all, judging from the situation on Earth now, the relationship between the Federation and the nobility is still barely maintained. And after that incident, no matter how much Mobit thought about me, he didn't dare to use the army, otherwise it would be true. Alan spread his hands and said, "But so what, as long as I stay in Heavenly Star, as long as Mobit is unwilling to let go." Then the situation will gradually intensify, and eventually the Heavenly Star may become a guide here. The fire cord completely divided the Federation and the aristocracy. ”
"Grandpa took the initiative to quit the family that day, and the purpose was obviously to avoid this kind of thing from happening, so I won't let it happen." Alan looked out the window, his gaze seemed to be cast into the distance: "Besides, I want to get out of here too." ”
He didn't go on, but Lovely Dehua knew why.
When Alan and White returned to Castle of Dawn that day, and Lucy didn't show up, Edward had already vaguely guessed what had happened. After that, Alan shut himself up in his room and left him alone for three days, without sleep or food, and only when he left the room did he simply tell the people what had happened in the wilderness behind Sardinia.
After that, Eren decided to leave the Heavenly Star, and this brigade was born.
The only people who will follow Eren away are Lola, Belmode, Hubble, and White. The first three are Alan's servants, and their relationship is closer than others. Not to mention Bai, since the incident on Earth, this young man who has transformed from a king snake is unwilling to leave Allen for half a step. As for the others, Alan entrusted them to Edward.
In the final analysis, the foundation of the Heavenly Star cannot be lost just as it is lost. What's more, when he left the Heavenly Star this time, Alan didn't know what would happen at all, and he didn't want to take other people into danger with him. In addition, if there are too many people, the goal will be too obvious, and it will be targeted by those who have a heart. So this time I went to the starship base in Sur City, and only Edward went with him.
Two days later, in the evening, Alan saw the city of Sur. The city they first visited when they arrived on the Heavenly Star was still the same from the outside. But the city is very different, and under the design and transformation of Lins, the city has now served as a secret starship base on the planet Heaven. Thirty kilometers from Sur City is the checkpoint arranged by Edward, which denies entry to all unrelated people and has become a secret forbidden place in the frontier.
Seeing the walls of Sur again, Alan remembered the past. It wasn't easy at that time, but Lucy was by her side. Now that he's a big man in the South, the girl is gone. In a trance, he seemed to hear a girl's chuckle in his ears. But when she turned around, the place next to her that should have been her was only air.
Alan lowered his head, and the falling shadow obscured his face, making it impossible to see his expression at the moment.
Edward sighed in his heart.
After two days of preparation to ensure that there was enough food and energy on the Aurora, Alan and the others said goodbye to Edward and walked into the starship one after another. When the starship hatch was closed, Alan felt a pain in his heart for no reason, and he couldn't help but grab his chest with his hand.
"Are you alright?" Lola asked, holding him up.
Alan smiled and said lightly: "It's okay, let's go, it's time to go." ”
Looking at his back as he walked towards the control room, Lola's brows were almost furrowed. Belmode's voice came from behind: "Give the young master a little time, he will get through it." ”
Lola nodded, and now she had to trust Alan.
In the control room, the captain who took the initiative to join the journey saluted Allen and asked, "Lord Allen, where are you going?" ”
Alan looked at him, looked at Lola and the others, and said calmly, "Until now, I haven't told you the destination. I was negligent, but fortunately I haven't really started yet, so let me tell you. In case you regret it, there is still a chance to leave. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, the universe is so big that you can go almost anywhere. But the universe is also very small, and if someone wants to dig us up, I honestly don't think it's very difficult. So I'm going to a place where there is fire and chaos, where there is only war and no peace, and that is an eternal battlefield. But only there may be a new way out. ”
Allen's gaze fell on the faces of the other personnel on the starship: "That's Agareth, a place that neither the Federation nor Adahua can reach!" ”
