This is what the girl in front of Ian's eyes looks like at this time.

Ian already knew what Phil meant.

Whenever she wanted to use the power of the Supreme, she had to walk that path all over again.

In a sense, she has indeed become the strongest. But in another sense, she never really stepped into the clouds.

Walk up, fall, walk up, fall.

That's the step she's been repeating.

This may seem like a very ordinary cycle, but the pain is by no means imaginable to outsiders.

Not to mention the huge gap in strength before and after,

Just going down that path again meant that she had to be calcined by the Divine Fire again until she could truly ascend to the clouds on her own.

There are not many people in this world who can endure such pain, and it can even be said that there are few people in this world who are qualified to bear such pain.

The Divine Fire will incinerate any living creature that dares to touch it, and nine out of ten people have been erased from all traces the moment they come into direct contact with it.

Ian felt distressed, heartfelt distress for this girl.

That face that was forever expressionless obscured everything, and no one could tell if she was crying or laughing.

Or, in fact, she has long been ignoring them, just ignoring them from above, as if she was standing in the clouds, emotionless sacred.

"Doesn't it hurt?"

Ian asked.

"Get used to it. ”

Phil replied.

The teenager who got the answer finally chose to remain silent. And the whole story of the girl is finally coming to an end.

"We lost a lot of people in that war. There were only forty left in the group of a few hundred people. And I really became a burden, and I could only be carried on the back by the adults, riding the gap between the two waves of magic tides, and desperately moving forward. ”

"Two days later, when the number was reduced to twenty-six, the day before the third wave of the demon tide hit, we finally saw the towering sacred wall. However, when we came to the corner, what everyone was most worried about finally happened......"

Hearing this, Ian had already guessed the final result.

"The defenders of the Holy Wall refuse to accept you, do you?"

"Yes, but that's not the final end. ”

Not the final ending?

The girl's answer made Ian stunned slightly, and he felt that something worse might have happened after that.

"At that time, we knelt under the wall and pleaded with the defenders, saying that we would pay whatever price we wanted, hoping only to be contained by them. Among the defenders of the wall, there was an officer who seemed to have compassion for us. He stood on the high wall, looked down on us, and promised us that he would let everyone in. ”

"But in his promise, the 'sinners' are not among all the 'people,' and if any of the 'all' does not agree, then he will not let them in either......"

“...... At that time, among the entire survivors who fled, I and my mother were the only ones who had the characteristics of criminals. ”

Ian felt a chill run through his heart, and if it weren't for the fact that he could barely move his body now, he would definitely not be able to stop shivering at this moment.

Survival is the greatest human instinct, no matter what world it is.

He hoped that those people would refuse the officer's "good intentions". But the hunch in his heart told him that this story was definitely a bad ending in the end.

Little did he know that one day he would hate someone he didn't know the name of. If he could move now, if he still had time, he would really want to fly to the Eastern Regions, and then chop the "officer" with a sword.

What qualifies a being who does not see people as human beings, who forces others to make such choices, to be called "human"?

"And then?" After a long time, Ian looked into the girl's eyes, waiting for her to tell her the final story. In a moment, a hollow, hoarse voice echoed through the hall.

Then the surviving people gathered in a circle and began to argue. And my mother held me tightly in her arms and comforted me so that I should not worry. ”

"The third wave of demons is getting closer, and as the demons get closer, the sound of quarrels becomes more and more intense. ”

"I was in a bad condition, and they thought I didn't have much time left, so they proposed to the officer that at least let my mother in. But neither the officer nor our mother agreed. The former was reluctant to let any 'sinners' in, while the latter simply did not believe that my days were numbered. ”

Later, the officer got impatient. He gave us an ultimatum that if we don't make a choice before sunset, He will no longer give us His 'mercy'. ”

So, seeing that the sun was about to set and that the third wave was coming, they knocked out their unreluctant companions, fell to their knees before us, and, having received forgiveness from their mothers, turned and walked into the open door. ”

Ian closed his eyes, and after receiving the answer he had foreseen, he fell silent, bending his trembling fingers little by little, clenching them tightly into fists. And as the end of this story comes, Fei'er's voice becomes more and more hollow, as if to indicate that there is actually nothing left at the end.

"Later, the sun went down and the tide came. Mother dug a small pit at the foot of the wall with her hands, put me in it, and covered me with her own body, so that I was very lucky to escape the plague, while she herself died in the corner of the wall. ”

"We failed......"

"Daddy is late......"

"After the demon tide passed, he rushed back, turned over his mother's body at the foot of the holy wall, and finally found me as the only survivor. ”

"He was very emaciated, his hair was messy, his eyes were red and swollen, and he just knelt on the ground, holding the bodies of me and my mother and crying. ”

"At that time, I wanted to blame him, but when I saw him like that, I wanted to comfort him, but I lost my expression, and I could no longer smile at him or cry at him, and I could no longer do anything other than keep wiping away his tears. ”

"Later, he took me to the Northern Regions and declared me to be his adopted daughter despite the opposition of others. Find a doctor for me, teach me how to get along with others, and reason with the dean of the house who doesn't want to admit me, and ask others to treat me like a princess. ”

But in fact, he worked really hard at that time, although he became the Grand Duke of the Northern Regions, but his foundation was shallower than that of any nobleman. His enemies were everywhere, and they all wanted to take advantage of his flaws and give him a fatal blow. However, it was in that environment that Dad finally took the risk to bring me back, and wanted to make the Northern Regions a country where criminals and Empires could truly live together as equals. ”

"So ......"

The boy said what she wanted to say next for the girl.

"That's why you've been trying to find a way to protect him, secretly solving all the troubles you can solve for him, and you're anxious to find someone who can inherit your power, and when you reach the end, become the real 'Black Sword Saint', and protect this northern region that carries his ideals on your behalf, right?"
