readx;? Summer is about to begin, and the entire coastline is filled with an unbearable heat. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info so the number of people playing on the beach gradually increased, and after the city lord's mansion released the news of the determination to exterminate the sea monster, Sophia Port once again returned to its former prosperity and noise.

Summer is undoubtedly the best season for those by the sea. That fiery energy was mixed with the chirps of knowing.

But that's not the case everywhere.

Shaibe is an exception. After only two months, the busy and optimistic coastal people are about to forget about the place, and in fact every few years a small village or two is destroyed by natural disasters. Even though Shaibe is not a small village, and it was not destroyed by natural disasters.

But not everyone has forgotten about this place, and for Ian, what happened here is far from something that can be forgotten by a sleep. So he came here and watched the once peaceful town turn into a series of silent tombstones. The fishy smell here has faded a lot, replaced by the scent of the small flowers with unknown graves.

Ian searched for a long time before finding the tombstones of Jeff's family of three from the unfamiliar names. I don't know if it was deliberately arranged, but the tombstones of Jack's family of three are very close to their former home, about ten meters away. The tombstones of the three of them are facing the door of their former home.

Ian placed the flowers under their tombstones and fell silent.

Eve followed Ian quietly, like a well-behaved and cute little follower. No one could have imagined that just a few months ago she would have been a completely different girl.

Both of them were silent, it was still broad daylight, and this town, which was once not lively, was so quiet that only the noisy shouts could be heard. The sound of the wind and the waves were drowned out, and Ian looked up to see a man lying on Maren's tombstone. He frowned, he originally wanted to drive this knower away, but when he stretched out his hand, he thought of something again, hesitated for a while, and put it down.

Maren is a fun-loving boy, how can he bear to get rid of the only "person" who can play with him now.

"Are you still blaming yourself?" asked Eve.

Ian thought for a moment and shook his head: "It's not self-blame, I've done everything I can, and in a sense, it's really a natural disaster." ”

"But you're still sad. ”

"yes, it's sad. Ian's fingers rubbed lightly against Male's tombstone, as if caressing the boy's little face, "You know, I had a disaster like this when I was my age. My parents died in that disaster, and in fact many, many more people died, more than here, and I was the only survivor. So I watched as their bodies were buried one by one in the earth, forming a larger cemetery. ”

"I was thinking that I had to get revenge and kill the guy who caused the disaster. Ian said slowly, "The idea of revenge has been planted in my heart like a seed for many, many years, but I still have no chance or ability to take revenge. But I always believed that revenge would solve everything. But now I know I was wrong. ”

"Wrong?" asked Eve, puzzled, "why is it wrong?"

"Because even if revenge is taken, disaster has already occurred. "Even if I kill the guy who caused the disaster ten years ago, I won't be able to save the person who died ten years ago." As it is now, I did deal with the sea monster, but so what? The people who died because of the sea monster will never wake up, never. ”

Ian clenched his fists.

"So, I can't just wait until after a disaster strikes to find a solution. Danger should be nip in the bud before disaster strikes. ”

This is the revelation that Tony gave him. Tony locked up Nartimis with everything he had for two hundred years, and if he wanted to give up for a moment in the past two hundred years, then the disaster caused by the successful birth of Nartemis was definitely not as simple as a Shaibe.

When Ian asked Tony why he did it, Tony replied with only two words: "Responsibility." ”

Ian understood that these two words were exactly what he lacked. If he were responsible, he wouldn't have left when Alder wanted to leave everything, and if he had been responsible, he wouldn't have chosen to leave when Mullen begged him to stay. At the same time, Ian finally knew why the Iliad had left him before, not because of anything else, but because Ian himself had abandoned his responsibilities, so he had also abandoned the Iliad power.

Like Rudo said, power only comes when you really need it.

"Eve. Ian said softly, "I'm leaving." ”

Eve shuddered, then muttered, "I guessed." ”

There's no way Ian could stay, and Eve knew it a long, long time ago. Recently, it can be seen from Joseph's demeanor that Joseph regards Ian as a real hero, and heroes don't spend time in a peaceful coastal city.

Joseph said he was a hunter, a very good hunter. Originally, Hunter had the impression that Eve was just a group of people who took the money and did things, but Ian was very different, he took the least amount of money and did what no hunter wanted to do. These are Joseph's exact words.

So she was ready and waiting for the day Ian left.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say to me?" Ian asked, "If nothing else, I'll be leaving tomorrow." ”

Eve bit her lower lip and shook her head gently. In fact, she did have a lot of things to say to Ian, but she didn't know what to say at this juncture. After all, Ian wasn't her after all.

"Well, since you don't have anything to say. Ian slowly stood up and patted the dust on his buttocks, "Then go back and pack your things, go to bed early, and be on the road early tomorrow morning." ”

Eve was stunned and looked at Ian blankly.

"Why, don't you want to go with your brother?" Ian smiled.

"No, no. Eve hurriedly lowered her head, a faint red cream appeared on her beautiful face, "I have nothing to clean up." ”

"Then let's go back to Sofia Harbor first. Ian stretched, "I think I might not be able to hit the road tomorrow." I still have some things to do, but as soon as possible. ”

Eve chick nodded like a peck of rice, turned and left. Ian looked at Eve's back, the expression on his face was a little complicated.

To be honest, he didn't want to take Eve away. Because returning to the imperial capital means that he has to start his career as a hunter again, and Eve is obviously not a girl of Nicole's type, and if she stays alone in the imperial capital, she doesn't know if anything will happen.

But in the end, he decided to take Eve with him. In this city, Eve has nothing left, just like Ian who used to be in Blackstone. At that time, Ian was taken away by the Messiah, and now, he wants to do the same thing as the Messiah.

"Messiah. ”

Ian whispered the name, then looked up at the cloudless sky.

"I'm going to look for you. ”
