Glencia.

By the time Mai Witt stepped into the chamber of the Lord's Palace, Heinrich was dying.

That kind of life is short-lived, and it can be directly observed with the naked eye.

Wilt.

Hoary.

In the past, Heinrich was also very old, but that kind of old age does not mean that he has lost all his vitality, but a kind of old age that has been accumulated for a long time, and it is heavy.

And now, Heinrich, his hair, utterly pale, his beard, dry like the roots of a great tree, and his skin, were complete, withered.

He lost all his vitality.

I'm going to die.

But he sat quietly at the end of a long table, as if he didn't know that his death was already at the door.

Mai Werther's tears fell uncontrollably, but he didn't say anything.

He was a man who was not good at expressing his feelings, and in the past, Heinrich was very good to him, taking care of him like a father, teaching him, and he didn't show his emotions too much, just studied and grew up hard until he became a qualified Heinrich student.

Now that Heinrich is going to die, he can't cry, at least, out loud.

Because even Heinrich himself remained calm.

Calm.

And it is precisely this calmness that is the greatest source of sadness.

Mai Witt walked up to Heinrich step by step, looked at him, and whispered to him: "Teacher......"

"Yes. Heinrich seemed to be distracted, his eyes cloudy and unfocused.

In the past, his eyes were also cloudy, but they were not really cloudy, and under the cloudiness, there was still light.

Now, it's complete, it's all left, it's cloudy.

"Werther, you're here. He laughed happily as if he had just noticed Mai Werther's arrival, with the old age that an old man deserved, and coughing.

He seemed to be happy to be able to see his most proud student before he died, and to see him off on his last journey.

"Brother Werther......" Lucifer, who had been standing silent, seemed to want to say something.

But Mai Witt didn't go to see him at all.

Lucifer, still alive.

Live well.

And Heinrich is going to die.

It seems that exchanging an old life for the survival of a young life seems to be a good deal.

However, Lucifer survived.

The Central Commonwealth, however, is going to lose one, the king.

Outside the window, there was the sound of something broken, as if something broken was assembling and reassembling.

The world, which was originally completely dark, was faint, as if there was a change of night.

The door was pushed open again.

The bigwigs of the Magician Warlock Association, led by President Ashnayo, entered this council hall one by one.

And Winnington.

Everyone, all of them, showed the expected shock.

When that light rises, in fact, everyone has already understood.

"Your Majesty......" Ashnayo took the lead, and everyone, bowed, with a heavy sadness.

The kingdom has lost its king......

Heinrich remained calm, his old and cloudy eyes swept over the bigwigs of the Magician Guild, lingered on Ashnayo's body for a moment, and finally turned his gaze to Lucifer beside him.

For a long time.

He said, "Ladies and gentlemen...... Please be kind to this kingdom. ”

"Your Majesty!" this time, everyone, got down on one knee.

It is from the bottom of my heart, for the infinite reverence of one king.

"Werther, go open the window and see if you're back on the surface. Heinrich stopped looking at them, he looked at his most proud disciple.

Holding back his grief, Witt went to the window and opened it.

The void, which was originally as quiet as a river, has slowly transformed into a normal night sky.

It was the law of the void that repelled Glencia, a city that did not belong to the void.

"Help me to the balcony, I want to see again, the night sky. Heinrich squinted at the changing night outside and said slowly.

Mai Witt lifted Heinrich up from his chair and walked out to the balcony outside the window.

No one moved, and everyone seemed to be saluting the king.

By this time, Glencia had almost completely returned to the surface world.

The rain has stopped for some time.

Vaguely, I can actually see the stars in the sky.

"Werther, do you remember the question I asked you tonight. Heinrich looked at the starry night sky and suddenly asked.

"Are you ......" Mai Werther remembered, of course, that sentence, almost like a proverbial question.

Werther, you know what I just saw?

"I saw my life star, and it was gone. Heinrich said with great calm.

"Teacher......" Sadness once again surged into Werther's heart, and he could barely control himself.

"So, it's all fate. Heinrich laughed again, "Don't grieve for me, Werther. ”

"More than thirty years ago, I saw that star in the sky, and it made me shine on the whole continent. ”

"More than thirty years later, it has disappeared into the stars, to tell me that the time has come and that it is time for you to go. ”

"Teacher!!" Werther finally cried, and his hand holding Heinrich trembled violently, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, you ...... You ......"

"You tell me, you tell me, who the hell is, who the hell is, I ...... I must, kill, kill, him. ”

In the last three words, he gritted his teeth and cut it out categorically.

In his life, he never wanted to kill a person so much.

"Silly boy. Heinrich just patted him on the back of his hand and said, "Destiny is a river, you have stepped into it since you were born, and you don't know where it will take you until the end." ”

"Mountain, sea ......"

"I guess that's the end of my fate. ”

"In life, if there is birth, there will be death. ”

"It's like in this world, where there is light, there will be darkness. ”

Where there is light, there is darkness.

The last sentence.

Heinrich's smile was frozen in that moment.

The next moment, suddenly, the hand that Werther was holding shattered, like a star, little by little, scattered with the wind.

"Actually...... Not bad, at least I saw the stars again. ”

"Teacher!!" Werther went crazy to catch the broken stars.

But.

In this world, there is light, and there is darkness.

Heinrich.

He's dead.
