readx;?β Have you already decided?"
"Well, it's all been discussed, and we'll leave tomorrow. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Why don't you stay longer?"
"It doesn't make sense anymore. β
"I'm sorry. Nia bit her lower lip and said softly, "I lied to you." β
Ian, who was sorting out his clothes, trembled, and then shook his head: "I don't blame you, and it has nothing to do with you, if it weren't for you, I would have died." β
"Since you don't blame me, why don't you stay longer? It's already spring, and the hardest period has passed. Nia asked, "Is it because of the Messiah?"
"You know her?"
"You kept calling her name while you were unconscious, and it was hard not to write it down. I went to ask the others about the Eye of Heaven that day. It's no wonder that you have traveled thousands of miles to come here, because your enemy is from heaven. Nia said softly, "She's so blessed to have a guy who wants to die for her." β
"Who said I didn't want to die?" Ian smiled, "I'm scared of death." β
Nia narrowed her eyes and looked at the smiling harmless teenager in front of her. Yes, he was just an adult and looked so naΓ―ve, but what did it matter? she would never forget that it was this guy in front of her, who had stepped on the storm and hunted the invincible Wind King.
Hunting a mature dragon king alone is something that no one has ever done before, and it is better than Perseus who did not do it. However, after hunting the Dragon King, he looked so ordinary and fragile, sadness, sadness and disappointment were written on his face. Mature people will hide their emotions very well, and obviously he is not mature enough, at least in terms of feelings, much weaker than he is in other aspects.
"I read the letter from Lord Rose to my mother. Nia said, "Originally, I thought that Lord Rose really wanted the Elven Heart to fight the impending disaster. But now I know that I was wrong, the Rose Lord is trying to use the Wind King to get back the most powerful Lord of Thorns, the Elven Heart or something, just a gimmick. β
"Perhaps, but I'm not really strong. Ian shrugged, "I've already taken half my life this time, and I don't know where I'll die next time." β
"This is your way of being a hunter?"
"The way of the hunter? "All I know is that it's been people pushing me forward, and the people who are dead, or those who are still alive, want me to be a strong person." Now I'm barely doing it, and I'm the only one to go. β
"Yes. Nia bowed her head, "Ian. β
"Huh?"
"I thought maybe I could understand my mother's approach. She's the queen of the elves, she can't be like me, she has to put the interests of the elves first at all times, for the sake of the elves, she can hide all her emotions, although it's boring. β
Ian looked up at Nia, who was looking at him too, her green eyes shining like gems.
"I mean, actually, I'd love to leave with you, to leave the elven realm for the adventure I've always dreamed of. Nia took a deep breath, "But I can't, I'm no longer an elven princess, and now I'm thinking about the revival of the elves, not my personal wishes." β
Ian opened his mouth and watched as Nia's tears suddenly fell, a little at a loss.
"But I'm not ready yet. Nia rubbed her red eyes and forced a smile, "My mother left too early, she's always been an irresponsible person, at least for me." β
Ian hesitated, but stepped forward and took Nya into his arms. Nia sobbed softly in his arms, and after about a minute, she pushed Ian away again.
"Okay, you're no longer the wayward elven princess and ignorant Terran hunter. "When you walk out of this room, I'm the new queen of the Elves, and you're the first hunter of the Terrans, Lord Thorns. It's time for us all to grow up, and think about it more willingly or not. β
Ian nodded, "You're right. β
"yes, do you know why I hate old pu?"
"I don't know. Ian shook his head, "I think he's fine." β
"What you see now is him as the First Soldier, and before he became the First Soldier, he was actually the same as you. Nia opened the door to the room, "I thought he was getting stupid, but now I know that he's actually matured, and I should be too." Good bye. β
"Click".
The door was shut, and Ian was the only one left in the room. Sunlight shines through the windows in the room, leaving a huge spot of light on the floor. Ian stood in the middle of the light, warm.
"You're really not going with us?"
"Well, my roots are here, six years ago. Carlos saddled his luggage, "I'm used to life in the forest, but I don't want to go back to the halls, where I'm dealing with brainless beasts, and where I'm dealing with human hearts." β
"What do you mean?" Dennis frowned.
"Whether it's our team six years ago or Liuyun's team eleven years ago, it's not that simple. "I don't know what's going on inside the hall, but we've been pushed out to our deaths." β
"Lord Rose is consolidating the hall. "It's been almost a year since we went back, and he should have succeeded." β
"It's not that I don't believe in Lord Rose, it's just that he's old. Carlos looked at Dennis, "He was old six years ago, and now he's even older." That's why he can't wait to send out your team that doesn't look mature at all, but he's right, the Lord of Thorns is finally returning after nearly a decade out of the halls, and you should help him. β
"What about you?"
"I don't have anything left, my brothers are here. Carlos stomped his foot, "It's on this land, so it's also my home, and I'll be with them for the rest of my life." β
Dennis didn't say anything more to persuade, he saw the determination in Carlos' eyes. Every high-level hunter is stubborn and makes decisions that cannot be easily changed.
"Why don't you leave tomorrow?" Dennis asked, "at least you should say goodbye to them, after all, we've been together for so long." β
"I already hate saying goodbye, really. Carlos turned away, stretched out his hand and shook his fingers, "You can take my place, to the Lord of Thorns, just say, I misjudged him, he is a good person." β
