Elena blinked, seemingly unable to comprehend the Celestials' words for a moment - and then frightened.

"You're going to help Femir?" She repeated incredulously, "That's the culprit who dominated the entire "Grey War" and caused countless deaths in the war! ”

"I don't know what is recorded in your history, but I know very well that he is not a wicked man." "Maybe this time, I'll be able to go a little further with him and witness the 'vision' he told me." ”

"In that way...... "Elena frowned, "if Femir Stark wins, our world—"

"Who can be sure that the world that Lord Stark expects will not be better than it is now." The blue-haired Celestial whispered.

The nun suddenly raised her head and looked at the other with a hint of expectation, "Do you think that if we change the past, the future will change with it?" ”

"Lord of Light didn't give me an exact answer. But whatever we do, he said, is hardly going to affect the direction of the whole world. Ariel said this, her expression suddenly relaxed, "So there is no need to contradict, just do what you think is right." ”

Elena nodded, but was inexplicably a little disappointed, "Sure enough...... Is it like this? ”

She remembered what Vanka had told Yuffie and the others. What "Brigade" can't do, I'm afraid for them is also a nearly impossible task.

"I've asked Lord Leonos similar questions." The Celestial Clan seemed to have guessed her thoughts, "History can be changed by oneself, but as far as the Lord knows, perhaps only one person can do it easily. Moreover, what we are currently in is only the history of the "Mirror Realm" in order to meet our expectations. ”

“…… Could it be that everyone here, including Lord Leonos, is 'false'? ”

The Caleb Celestial shook his head again.

"The Mirror Realm could not create Lord Leonos. However, the world was born, and he was able to exist here. "As for the other creatures that live on the continent, they are the same as those in 'history'. She pondered for a moment, her tone a little uncertain, "Maybe even if we leave, this world will still exist...... In some form that we don't know. ”

Elena didn't answer immediately. She pondered for a moment and asked another question.

"If we ...... Or what will happen to the rest of the 'Lily Nono Regiment' who die here? ”

"Sleeping in this world—or rather, the 'Mirror Realm', there is no way to return to the original era."

This answer made the girl's face change slightly. But Elena knew that no matter what she heard, what she wanted to do would make no difference.

- Because coming 'here' is one of her wishes.

"When are you going to leave?" She asked the Celestials sitting beside her.

"Wait until Lord Stark gets moving." The Celestials replied calmly, then added, "It won't be long after. ”

Elena looked around, instinctively trying to find something to put in her mouth to ease her somewhat stiff emotions. Unfortunately, the Celestials don't need to eat on a daily basis, and there is no visible food in the prayer room.

"Forget it." She shrugged, then patted her face and looked back at Ariel, "Let me leave with you." I'm not going to assist Fermier...... There may be no ability to stop him from fighting this "gray war", but as a nun of Lord Leonos, there must be people who need my help. ”

"The enemy of good is not always evil. Many times, we are forced to confront people with the same good intentions because of different ideals. There are also situations where everyone is just fighting for survival, and there is no such thing as good or evil. The Celestial Clan looked at her and nodded approvingly, "You are an excellent believer. ”

I don't need you to say this, Elena thought to herself. Whether or not they could see each other again, she would not disappoint Teacher Kalan, the Silver Witch, and the Lord of Light who had watched over them from the distant Heavens.

She whispered goodbye to Ariel, and walked along the original passageway, from the warehouse where grain and dry rations were stored, back to the lodging that the Church had arranged for her.

……

Quiet times always seem short.

In the 248th year of the San Leon calendar, near the end of the summer month, the Oren Empire invaded the Federation of Philes under the banner of 'recovering the homeland'.

However, no sooner had the two legions in the vanguard crossed the borders of the Empire and the Federation than hundreds of dragons descended from the sky. Laurent, the commander of the Left Army, chose to hold on to the counterattack, and Haber, the commander of the Right Army, ordered the troops to withdraw as soon as possible, but unfortunately the outcome of the two was the same.

Less than a third of the soldiers made it back to the Empire alive, and the Dragon's legions paid a single-digit number of wounded for it.

At the beginning of autumn, the Church of San Leon, under the pretext of denouncing the Empire's atrocities, gathered the monks and troops of several surrounding cities in Dawning City and announced that it would send troops to the Oron Empire. On the eve of his departure, Pope Oswald and several bishops went to the prayer room to receive the blessings and blessings of the 'messenger of God'. However, all they saw was the monks of the Guardians, who had fallen unconscious, and the empty room.

……

From the top of this small hill on the outskirts of the city, which is only more than 100 meters long, you can see everything outside the city and some buildings in the city more clearly. Despite being obscured by the walls, Elena could still imagine the tens of millions of 'Inquisitions' and friars now lined up in the wide square at the foot of the Basilica, and – perhaps a mixture of surprise, anger and disappointment, of His Majesty the Pope.

"You've really left them with a mess." She pursed her lips and looked at the Celestials beside her, who looked the same as usual. The two of them were shrouded in the "Sanctuary Technique" unfolded by Ariel, and people passing by couldn't see them at all—even the Great Sanctuary's defensive magic couldn't detect the departure of the two, "After all, it's a disciple of Lord Leonos, wouldn't it be too much to do this?" ”

"If this can pour cold water on them and make the Church give up its plan to send troops, it may be more beneficial to them." Ariel commented casually, then shook her head slightly, "It's a pity that with the influence of that 'curse', I'm afraid there is no way to avoid war." ”

"It's not all your 'Master Stark' doing." Elena grumbled, though she somewhat agreed with the other man's words - the opportunity was already there, but the 'curse' only hastened the war, "Goodbye, Ariel. Hopefully there will be a chance...... Sit down and have a cup of tea. ”

The Caleb Celestial nodded, and suddenly hugged her quickly. The touch of the armor is a little hard, but the breath from the other person's body is indescribably warm, as if it smells of the sun and the sky.

"Even though we may be enemies." She said, "I still consider you a friend, Elena. ”

The Celestials turned around and walked down the hillside, crossing the wide avenue outside the city, and continuing to leave into the distance. Elena waited quietly for a moment, then looked at one of the hillside, where two taller and stronger figures were trotting toward her, shorter than the usual Kamals.

"Bell, Grum." She raised her eyebrows, her mood brightening a lot, "I thought you weren't coming." ”

"No matter what, we're too, a regiment, teammates!" Bell was panting heavily, apparently lacking exercise lately, "Tell me, where are you going, we Belons, but we're angry!" ”

"You, like the eldest lady, are people with lofty ideals." Groom's eyes narrowed, and a smile appeared on his lips, "Ha, with you little girls, I always feel that I am still as young as I was forty years ago." ”

Elena pursed the corners of her mouth as well. She bowed lightly to the two much older Berons, and looked out into the night beneath the hills.

"There's a lot of work to be done." "But at first," she said calmly and gently, "at first...... As you travel, you can find out about Ann, Elio, Lily, Alphonse, and Sister Jill. ”

"I'm sure they must be working in their own way somewhere in the world."
