Nicole brushed the snow away from the grave with her hands and placed the bouquet of flowers she had brought with her. The dark marble looks particularly solemn in the pure white world, and the tombstone is engraved with a neat line of words, which is very in line with the strict character of the tomb owner during his lifetime - here is Dennis Granger is buried.

"I thought Dennis's grave was supposed to be at Granger's house. Xiu, who was behind Nicole, said softly, "I didn't expect to be here." ”

"Because Dennis's brother Al is buried here. Nicole got up, and there were graves all around, but only this one was new, "In fact, it's not just Dennis, Ian's parents, and Lord Rose have chosen to be buried here. For them, this is the beginning and the end. ”

Xiu was silent for a while and said, "Mourning." ”

"I'm fine. Nicole said calmly, "You too." ”

"yes. Xiu raised his head and looked at the foggy sky overhead, "After all, the war is over, it's finally over." ”

"What are you going to do next?"

"Back to Alder. ”

"But it's not out of the dragons' hands. Nicole frowned, "According to the information from the front line, the south of the World Tree belongs to the range of activities of the dragons, they did not go further north, and even if they saw humans, they did not attack. But that doesn't mean you'll be able to return to Alder safely, in the far south. ”

"I know, but I'm going back. Xiu said, "There is still a tomb for the hunters who died here, and there is a place for the corpses to rest after death." But my brother didn't, neither the Shield Guards and the refugees who died in Alder. I figured I'd bury their bodies even if I couldn't live in Alder. ”

Nicole was silent, she read the decidedness from Xiuna's calm words, knowing that it was a decision that could not be stopped. Xiu is like her brother Arnold, with the fearless spirit of Alder's ancestors flowing in her bones, and now the imperial capital is still in lockdown, but someone has sneaked back to his hometown. For some people, there are many things that are more important than life.

"I know I can't stop you. Nicole nodded, "But I still have to say, be careful." The war is over, and no one should die anymore. ”

Xiu also nodded, and then suddenly said: "I heard that after Ian left the imperial capital, he walked south for a day before meeting Eren and them, and was finally taken away by the dragon clan, right?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"I've been thinking all this time, what was Ian thinking about that day?"

Nicole was stunned.

"He's just one person, right, walking all day in the snow alone. Xiu said softly, "At that time, the Messiah passed away, and not long after the child was born, he did not choose to stay in the imperial capital for even one day. Instead, he embarked on the final journey alone, and I wondered how strong his heart was to do all this, when he was a weak guy three years ago. ”

Nicole was silent again. Yes, three years ago he was a weak fellow, hiding behind everyone and trembling under the strong deterrent power of the dragon king Naga, and three years later, he lost his best friend and wife, and set out on a journey with the heavy responsibility of changing the fate of the human race alone.

"The war between the human race and the dragon race, in our previous opinion, there were only two kinds. Xiu said slowly, "First, the dragon clan was defeated, and the human race launched a counterattack to drive the dragon clan back to the previous place. The second is that the human race is defeated, and it may be directly wiped out, maybe a small number of people will survive, but they can only live in the shadow of the dragon race like thousands of years ago, and they may lose their lives at any time. But now, there is a third ending, the World Tree is back in this big 6, and the war between the human race and the dragon race has stopped when it is about to be decided. ”

"yes. Nicole whispered, "I'd like to know what Ian did that night." ”

"It doesn't matter what he's done, it's important that he's saved the Terrans, and if he can return, he'll be the most beloved Lord of Thorns in history. Now the people in the streets are chanting his name, waiting for their prince to return safely. ”

"What do you want to say?"

"In this world, maybe you are the only one who knows him best. Xiu said, "In your opinion, will he come back?"

Nicole didn't know how to answer. She wanted to say yes, she wanted to say that Ian would return safely as before, and that there was no one in this world who could kill him. But she couldn't say it, because now everyone was looking for his whereabouts, but he was like a stone that had fallen into the depths of the sea, and there was no trace of him.

Will you come back, Ian?

......

"Thank you for the care during this time. Peria bent down toward Eve, "I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

"Out of the way. Eve shook her head slightly.

Peria was one of the refugees who had retreated from the Noah's Line to the Imperial Capital a week earlier. As a result of witnessing the Dragons conquering the [Noah's Line], those refugees were like frightened birds and needed special comfort and care. Eve was responsible for taking care of the little girl who had lost her legs, and the moment she saw the little girl, Eve's heart was greatly shocked, and losing her legs in this apocalypse can almost be said to have lost hope of living.

But Peria was here anyway, and although she couldn't do without the boy named Alan, her own consciousness was also commendable. Eve seems to see her former self in Peria, two years ago Ian brought her scarred self to the imperial capital, and she is similar to this little girl.

Now that the war is over and the dragons have retreated south of the World Tree, many people will be able to return to their previous lives, if nothing else. Although the imperial capital has not yet lifted the lockdown, many people have already secretly left the imperial capital, and many people have signed up for the "reconnaissance team" in the hall and are going to the south to investigate the movements of the dragon clan.

The boy named Alan signed up, and Peria decided to go with him.

"Be careful on the road. Eve said.

"I thought you were going to persuade me not to go. "A lot of people say I should stay, and so does Alan, because I lost my legs. ”

"Do you want to stay?"

"Nope. Peria shook her head, "I want to be with Allen, that's all." ”

"Then there's no problem. Eve touched Peria's head and whispered, "There's no better reason to want to stay with someone you like." Regret may be more terrible than death. ”
