When the group rushed to the royal ruins, the ancient hall of the "Eye of Heaven", which had been inherited for a hundred years, was slowly collapsing under the engulfment of the fire. Bowen subconsciously wanted to call someone to put out the fire, but Nicole stopped him.

"It's useless. Nicole shook her head and said, "It's all burned out like this, there's no way there's anything left inside." ”

"Those things don't matter, it's mainly the Eye of the Heavens—"

"That's what I'm talking about. "The fire started from within, which means that the target of the arsonist was the sleeping Eye of Heaven in the first place. If it was really Ian who set the fire, then he couldn't have given us a chance to save it. ”

"Is it really Ian?" Xiu muttered, "but why did he do this? Why didn't he come back to us first? ”

Xiu's doubts were also the doubts of everyone present. When they learned of Ian's whereabouts, they put down everything they were and rushed here, but they couldn't find the familiar figure, and all that was left was the ancient temple that was reduced to ruins in the fire.

Green stared at the ancient hall for a long time, then suddenly let out a chuckle, and then turned around and left.

"Where are you going?"

"I told you, I'm going back to Port Sofia. ”

"But Ian is back. "Aren't you going to meet him?"

"I can't see it. "Since he didn't plan to see you, it means that he has made some kind of decision." With his skills, even if you turn the entire imperial capital over, it is impossible to find him. ”

Green said lazily: "I just need to know that he is still alive and did not die at the hands of the Dragon Emperor, and the rest is not important." ”

Nicole looked complicated as Green's figure disappeared into the afterglow of the setting sun, and then sighed softly. She knew Ian no less than Green knew Ian, and although she didn't come to the same idea as Green, she had a vague feeling that they might never see Ian again.

He chose to leave, quietly and quietly.

Perhaps to verify Green's words, new news soon reached them. Someone took Ian from the heavily guarded Stuart Manor while Savi was asleep, without alerting any of the guards. It wasn't until Sauvi woke up that her grandson was gone.

Except for the child's own father, Nicole really can't think of anyone who can do this.

......

"Evelyn, help me make sure my manuscript is in the middle of nowhere. ”

"You've asked me to confirm it three times, Tim. The woman's voice was a little helpless, "I promise, even if we pull everything down, the manuscript won't pull down." ”

"That's good, that's my most valuable thing. Tim muttered as he packed his clothes, "Pack everything up and get ready to go, we'll be out tonight, we'll be home in three days." Although the imperial capital is large, it is not our home after all. ”

Evelyn didn't respond, Tim vaguely heard his wife talking to someone, he pursed his lips, thinking to himself which neighbor he was saying goodbye to, obviously not from here, but he was familiar with the neighbors of the whole street, and he didn't know what to say. He could only continue to pack his luggage, but he was thinking about the plot of the next book.

"My dear. Evelyn's voice came into the room again, "Your friend wants to see you." ”

Friends? Tim was stunned, where did he have friends in the imperial capital? It wouldn't be a neighborhood that his wife knew to say goodbye to him, please don't do this, this is what he is not good at. He was about to let Evelyn cope when the door suddenly opened and he looked up to see a very familiar face.

"Ian?"

......

"Is that your wife?" Ian took the tea from Tim, but didn't drink it, "Very talkative." ”

Tim smiled bitterly: "It's just too talkative, and she knows exactly how many chickens and ducks there are in the neighborhood." ”

"Talkative is a good thing. Ian took a sip of tea, "indicating that she is kind-hearted and quite popular." I think she's a nice person. ”

"Perhaps. Tim looked worried, "It's your eyes and hands—"

"Well, no. Ian's tone was slightly lighter, "Looks a little ugly, doesn't it?"

"No, no, no, you know I didn't mean that. Tim waved his hand, "I mean, everybody's looking for you right now, after all, you're the hero who saved the entire human race." They will be glad if they know that you have come back safely, even if you don't have a hand or an eye, and no one looks down on you, it's a medal of honor. ”

"You don't have to comfort me, I don't think about it. Ian said calmly, "I'm lucky to be able to come back alive." ”

Tim breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right, how did you know I was here?

"His name is Ian, the name his mother gave him to marry. ”

"Pretty good name. Tim smiled, "Eyes of Heaven has put all her expectations for you on the child's name. ”

Ian laughed silently, but anyone could see the loneliness that couldn't be hidden in that smile. Tim realized he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly got up, stammering to explain, "That Ian, I'm not—"

"It doesn't matter. Ian shook his head, "Let's get down to business, I have something I want to ask you for." ”

"Just say it. Tim patted his chest and said, "As long as you don't tell me to die, I'll promise you anything." ”

"Help me raise this child. ”

"Of course not...... What are you talking about?" Tim's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Help me raise this child. Ian repeated, "Take him away, treat him as your own child, and leave the Imperial Capital tonight before the Stuart family has found him." I can pay him for that, enough for you to raise him. ”

"Wait, wait, it's not a question of pay, okay!" Tim was a little confused, "just why? You're still alive, isn't the child's grandmother still alive? Why did you suddenly leave it to me to raise? Even if you really don't want to, don't you still have so many companions?"

"If I could, of course I would like to raise him myself. Ian said calmly, "But there's one thing I need to accomplish, and I don't know if I'll make it back alive." As for his grandmother, there is no man in the Stuart family who can take charge of things, and Ian's grandmother is a good person, but I fear that she will make up for all the guilt she felt about Ian's mother. I can't imagine what it would be like for a boy who grew up doting, especially since he didn't have parents yet. ”

Tim was stunned, he didn't expect Ian to think so much about this child: "What about the others?"

"Nicole has lost Dennis, I can't drag her down anymore, and Xiu can't go back to Alder. Green is not a father, and Bowen is a good choice, but giving it to Bowen has never been able to avoid Grandma Ian's eyes. Ian continued, "Moreover, I'm afraid that Bowen will raise Ian as another me, I just want Ian to be an ordinary person, which is also his mother's expectation." If he could, I hope he would never follow the path I once did. ”

Tim opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't. Ian's words are enough to prove that he didn't do it on a whim, but thought about it for a long, long time to find him. He didn't know much about Ian, but he knew that as long as Ian made a decision, it would be difficult for anyone to change it.

It's just that kid—

Tim looked at the little boy who was sleeping in Ian's arms. I have to say that he has never seen such a lovely-looking boy, but when he thinks about the child's mother, he is relieved, and it is not surprising that when he grows up, he will look better than many beautiful girls. Originally, he would have had a very happy family, his father was the Lord of Thorns, a hero of the Terrans, and his mother was the Eye of Heaven, who was also a hero who guarded the Terrans. The children of two heroes, but he has to be raised by an ordinary person?

"What should I do?"

"Treat him like your own child. Ian said, "It's best if he doesn't know about me and the Messiah for the rest of his life, and you and Evelyn are his real parents." ”

Tim was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is the last thing you said about the child's mother?"

Ian nodded.

"You really have a deep affection for your wife. Tim smiled, but there was no sarcasm or admiration in that smile, "There will be a lot of good girls who want to be the wife of a hero like you, and you can find a better one to complete the education of your children, but you insist on doing that for your wife." Yes, you are worthy of your wife, and you are worthy of your husband. But are you worthy of your children, worthy of being your father?"

The last few words Tim almost yelled, he really couldn't contain his emotions, especially when he thought of his father who sold pork.

Ian was silent. Neither of them spoke, and the only sound left in the small room was Tim's gasping voice. I don't know how long it took, when Tim's anger dissipated little by little, Ian finally spoke slowly: "You're right, I'm really sorry for Ian, I'm sorry for my father's identity." ”

"Then you're—"

However, if a person can only choose one person to be by his side in his life, then that person will not be a parent, nor a child, but only a wife. Ian slowly got up, looked into Tim's eyes, and whispered, "It's cruel, but it's my choice." One day, Ian will grow up and meet someone worthy of his life, and at that time, I think he will understand me, not from the perspective of father and son, but from the perspective of a man. ”

Tim froze.

He tried to find another word to refute Ian's point, but no matter how much he searched his stomach, he couldn't find it. For the first time as a bookwriter, he was defeated verbally, and so incompletely. Eventually, Ian left, but Ian didn't, and the boy was still asleep, completely unaware of what had happened.

Before leaving, Ian also left a note for Tim, saying that he hoped that Tim would be able to spread the words on the note throughout Big 6.

The day after Ian left, the imperial capital lifted the lockdown, and the heavy snow that had been piled up for months melted little by little, and the morning light was like a golden sword, from top to bottom, making the entire Big 6 warm.

Yes, winter is gone.

......

Seven years later, a small town in the east of the Great 6.

“...... The Lord of Thorns defeated the Dragon Emperor, summoned the World Tree, and left his sword at the top of the World Tree. At the same time, he left a sentence that when the world is in chaos again, the new warrior will climb the World Tree, take the sword that once defeated the Dragon Emperor from the canopy, and will gain the power of the peerless to calm the troubled times. ”

"In the end, the Lord of Thorns took his eternal wife into the endless snow-capped mountains in search of the mysteries that would make people live forever......"

The little boy closed the book and licked his lips unsatisfied: "It's so well written, Dad." ”

"Really?" Tim stroked his beard, "Looks like you." ”

"Yes, the dragon slayer who is always adventuring, the most powerful Lord of Thorns, and—" The little boy couldn't go on, "Anyway, you're very powerful, Daddy, have you seen those hunters?"

"Of course. ”

"Then can you talk to them and make me a hunter too. The little boy looked eager to try, "I'm brave too." ”

"Of course, no. ”

Tim stretched out his hand and pressed the little boy's head, looking at the latter's eyes as blue as the sea full of hope, he said softly: "I remember I have already written in the book that the era of hunters is over, and now there are no hunters on the big 6. ”

The boy's eyes instantly dimmed: "Why is this so?" ”

Tim smiled slightly, and piqued the boy's interest with one sentence: "But the adventure continues, your father and I are an adventurer, and I am doing the same thing as a hunter." Don't look at me like that, your mother won't allow you to go on an adventure with me unless you can prove it to her. ”

"How do you prove it?"

"Let your mother think you're grown up. Tim said, "Your mother is tired all this time, but your sister needs someone to take care of her, what do you think you should do?"

"I'm going to take care of my sister. The boy jumped out of his chair and ran out of the house, "I'll prove I've grown up!"

Tim smiled and nodded. The little boy stopped abruptly as he walked to the door, turned his head, and looked at Tim without saying a word.

"What's wrong?"

"Dad, the Lord of Thorns will be back. The little boy said cautiously, "He's so powerful, even if he doesn't have the strength, no one can defeat him." ”

Tim was silent for a long time, and finally nodded under the little boy's hopeful gaze.

"Of course, Ian. Tim whispered, "No one can beat him, and we all believe that one day he'll be back here, yes, someday." ”
