"And what did it turn out for?" I have to say, the story piqued York's interest.

Knowing that everything in reality has become a cold and dilapidated ruin, after seeing the prosperous city in the fantasy, the huge contrast makes people feel even more bleak and heavy.

It's as if you've witnessed the alternation and decay of an entire era.

"As soon as there were some results, the ruined capital was buried in the collapse. Ethel mentioned this, his expression full of pain: "I...... I still don't know why that collapse happened out of thin air. Although it was only the tip of the iceberg, it has already begun to get to the heart of the secret......"

"Collapse?" Instinctively, Yorke was not surprised by the result: "Is the collapse so large that you can't find another place to go in?"

"Totally impossible to get into. Ethel looked helpless: "The collapse happened suddenly, and it almost trapped Orantes inside. ”

"Tsk...... Just bury that guy underneath. Not missing an opportunity to show ill will towards Orlantes, Yorke snorted and complained.

"What a feud you have!" Although he understood that York was just stubborn, it still made Ethel seem a little overwhelmed and panicked.

"Even if the ruins are destroyed, the illusion should still be there. After all, the ancient empire itself has long ceased to exist, so why don't you let the souls in the ruins live in it?" the Iron Knight was extremely sure of this: "There must be a way to go back." ”

"They live in an illusion. The destruction of the ruins that bear this illusion may only reveal a brutal reality. Ethel shook his head, his tone extremely frustrated, "I've always wanted to go back to the ruins...... But there is no way. After that, I never let go of the study of ancient magic, and even became more and more obsessed with it...... For this, many costs have been paid. ”

Studying ancient magic has revealed too many secrets that Ethel shouldn't know.

There are some things that are best not known for the rest of your life. And this Mage Aya, addicted to it, fell deeper and deeper.

The Iron Knight was impressed by this conversation.

Because after that, he accompanied Ethel and watched her fall into the taboo step by step.

He tried to stop it all, but as he learned more and more dark secrets, she couldn't turn back in order to kill the threat in the cradle.

Ethel made a very risky and difficult decision as a result.

The final result has made those in the know suffer to this day.

And it is not only the people involved who are shrouded in these shadows.

Ethel's daughter was also devastated by this.

Lucina was born in the dungeon and was imprisoned under Luna's name for more than 200 years.

...... Until she escaped the shackles of the Nether Iron Shackles with a flash of separation. After meeting the kind magic professor, this child's life under his own control can be regarded as the real prelude.

York was very grateful to Lucina's adoptive father, Manus. Without her, I don't know what Lucina would be like now.

Maybe I'll live a good life.

But at least, it definitely won't......

I don't know what worry is like now.

York stared at Lucina, who was jumping to reach the cake on his plate because she was not tall enough, and sighed: if she hadn't lifted it a little higher, she would have been snatched away a long time ago.

"Give it to me, give it to me!" she raised her hand in high spirits, trying to touch the plate: "You don't eat it anyway." ”

"......" glanced at Loelle's position in the line, and York thought she should be able to get the cake, so he gave it to Aya with a hint of reluctance.

"Whoa, whoa!" Lucina grabbed the blue cake, obviously overjoyed, "York is such a nice man!"

Is this still the case when you judge good people...... As soon as York was about to open his mouth to complain, he suddenly noticed that Vicol was talking to Bernie restlessly, and then hurriedly ran with him towards the alley under the call of a captain-like man.

In the noisy square, this is very inconspicuous. York, who is observable, happens to notice it, and is puzzled by it.

He decided not to alarm others and go over and see for himself. After all, it might just be nothing: he expected it to be so.

For example, it's just an emergency gathering, and there's nothing big about it. The best ending is a false alarm.

In any case, York was going to check it out. Don't scare people until you're sure there's a problem.

"Hmm, where are you going, York?" Lucina asked, holding the cake strangely, noticing that the Iron Knight immediately set off for Vicor's side.

"Go and go back. Stay, don't move. Hurriedly touching Lucina's little head, York turned and walked away, hurrying away.

"Oh...... Hmmm...... "Although she inexplicably feels like a child, Lucina, who claims to be a mature woman, is completely focused on the cake and has no time to care about anything else.

"Shall we eat together?" she cheerfully pulled her sister over to share it with Lusa.

"I can't eat ......" Lusa, who had a small amount of food, touched her flat stomach and felt that she was too full.

"How can you eat so little, you have to learn from your sister!" Lucina tried to persuade her sister to eat more. After all, Lusha only eats a little bit every time, which makes her very embarrassed.

Vicol and Bernie moved quickly, and York stepped up so he didn't lose his target. After following them around the corner of an alley and closing the distance, Vicol, the snow raven who led the group, suddenly noticed footsteps in the howling cold wind, and suddenly stopped his steps and turned back.

"Are you ......" swallowed the "who?" in his throat, Vicole stared at York, as if for a moment he only thought he had seen it, but couldn't remember the name: "What's it called?"

"York. Lucina's chief knight. Replying casually, York babbled quickly and solemnly, feeling more and more strange under the restless gaze of the guards: "What's wrong?"

"You guys, keep moving!" Without time to comment on the name "Chief Knight", which was obviously teasing him, Vicor hurriedly turned his head and let the guards continue their mission, and the gloomy face of the black carved pipe was hung, and he said quickly: "I received a report that someone has witnessed the appearance of monsters. We are in the process of sending additional personnel to investigate. ”

"Increase?" was immediately drawn to the word, and York glanced around: it was noticeably quieter than the noisy square, but still brightly lit by the lights.

"There's no time to dwell on words, I've got to go!" Vicol clenched his pipe, restless, and immediately restarted. Feeling that he should help, York looked back slightly in his master's direction and pondered for a moment, and followed.
