After Ian revealed his identity, the guards of the defense line immediately prepared a carriage for them. The carriage wasn't big, but it was just right to sit Ian, Nicole, Nia, Pu and Xiu. So the rest of the people had to be left behind, and due to the urgency of the situation, Nicole decided to leave immediately and return to the imperial capital the next day.

"Thanks for the care along the way. Barov took Lily and thanked Nicole and the others, "If it weren't for you, we would have been in another world." ”

The remaining four people also saluted and thanked them, and Allen's eyes kept glancing at Ian, looking like he wanted to say something. Knowing what he was thinking, Ian pulled a dagger out of his bosom and handed it to him.

"This is what Rudo once gave you, and I am not qualified to take it. Ian said calmly, "Your father doesn't want you to be a hunter, and I don't know if you want to follow his last wishes or if you want to do things on your own." ”

Alan didn't know how to answer, and Peria kept holding his hand tightly, not speaking.

"Think for yourself. Ian stepped into the carriage, "You'd better know what you want." ”

Alan watched with a complicated expression as the group got into the carriage, and the carriage drifted away until it disappeared into the sky.

......

"You don't seem to have given him a choice. In the carriage, Nicole said to Ian, "You know he can't abandon the little girl who lost both legs, do you?"

"Yes. Ian nodded slightly, "If he chooses to abandon that girl, then he is not qualified to be a hunter, and I will not take him back to the imperial capital." ”

Ian paused, obviously unwilling to dwell too much on the topic. He was silent for a while, and then said softly, "I saw Dennis for the last time, and I just returned to the imperial capital that day. ”

Nicole's body stiffened, but she didn't say anything, just packed her luggage.

"He forced himself to talk to me about a few things, and he repeatedly insisted that I get you back, that you are not dead, that you are just lost. For this reason, I also went to Lingfeng, but I only found your grave, and I thought you were dead, and now it seems that I still don't know you as well as Dennis. ”

"Say no more, Ian. Nicole whispered.

"He would be happy if he knew you were alive. ”

"Don't say it, Ian!" Nicole raised her voice, "Don't say it again, okay?"

Looking at Nicole, who was suddenly emotionally excited, Ian had to nod silently. Although he knew that Dennis was a scar in Nicole's heart, and he wouldn't want to mention it if he could, there were some things that didn't mean he hadn't been born. Dennis still thinks about Nicole even at the last moment of his life, and this affection must be passed on to Nicole for Dennis.

Nicole took a deep breath and lowered her head, her soft flaxen hair making her look so fragile. Ian's impression of Nicole is still short in ears, and as a huntress, she looks heroic. But now she looks like a very ordinary woman, and she can't hide the grief of losing her beloved.

"I'm sorry, Ian. Nicole whispered, "For now, don't talk about him, okay? Now when we're still in Luther Mills, just as we've never met Dennis, before everything settles down." ”

With that, Nicole stepped out of the carriage. The moment the curtain was closed, Ian only felt that he had never seen such a weak Nicole.

"In this case, it's really not a wise choice to mention Dennis. Nia, who was also in the carriage, shook her head, "You know, we haven't dared to mention Dennis in front of Nicole for more than a month. Isn't that nice, she looks pretty normal. ”

"If you keep it in your heart, you're going to have problems. "She needs to cry out, or she needs to leak out." ”

"You seem to know a lot about women's psychology?"

Ian was silent for a moment and shook his head, "No, I just have a personal experience. ”

As if she had thought of something, Nia spread her hands: "Well, I seem to have forgotten your past. Let's not talk about that, now all of us are concerned with two questions, first, how is your body?"

"It's slowly recovering. Ian said, "Although the effectiveness of [Endless Life] has been greatly weakened, there is a sense of recovery in the last few days, and it will not be long before I recover, but my body will be a little weak." ”

"With such a fatal injury, the recovery period of just a few days is already very amazing compared to ordinary people. Nia said, "But it's still a lot worse than the normal state of [Endless Life], you know what I mean?"

"I understand. Ian nodded, "That means I won't be able to heal my wounds as quickly as I once did." ”

"That's right, so here comes the second question. Nia subconsciously sat up straight, and when she was about to mention the [Emperor], she unconsciously became serious, "How sure are you that you can defeat it now?"

"I'm not sure at all. ”

"What about you who are fully recovered?"

Ian thought for a moment and shook his head again: "Still not a little sure. ”

"Not at all?"

"I don't know what to do with [theocracy]. Ian whispered, "In the face of [Theocracy], neither [Time and Space] nor [Endless Living] can wield the desired effect. It can disable [Endless Life], and it can also attack me at will in [Spacetime]. ”

Nya was silent. Before, she still had a bit of luck, thinking that Ian was just careless and lost the duel with the Dragon Emperor. Now it seems that even if Ian in his heyday goes all out, there is no way to take the Dragon Emperor who holds the [divine power].

That would understand Ian, because it was theocratic after all. The legendary god, the Iliad's strongest means of attack, in front of it, the [Time and Space] and [Endless Life], which are also the power of the gods, were eclipsed.

Also in the carriage was Xiu, who had not spoken. She listened to the conversation between Nia and Ian, and the moment she heard Ian admit that she couldn't defeat the Dragon Emperor, she felt like something was missing in her heart. She knew what that meant, once Ian couldn't defeat the Dragon Emperor, then the Terrans would have no chance of winning the final battle against the Dragons, and no one would be able to stop the Dragon Emperor Mussolini Iliad. The end of the defeat and destruction of mankind seems to be clearly visible.

So, what is the significance of the collective sacrifice of Arnold and the [Shield Guard] troops who fled all the way from Alder to here?
