Jerusalem - Administered by the Church of Light, a permanently neutral city on the mainland.

Here, you will always see an endless stream of believers and businessmen who have seized the opportunity to come here in search of opportunities to make a fortune.

Since the headquarters of the Church of Light is located on a holy mountain in the city of Jerusalem, the security here surpasses that of some great empires.

However, there is a big difference between the current Jerusalem and the great city that people say by mouth.

Crumbling walls, cracked houses, blood-soaked streets, and terrified people. Everything was so bad that Jerusalem looked as helpless as a poor girl who had been forcibly tortured countless times.

On the top of the towering Holy Mountain, the first church, considered a holy place by all pilgrims, has long since been reduced to ruins. Above the ruins, a ruined airship the size of a fortress lay silently.

Nothing left intact in the hull of the airship, as if it had been damaged from the inside by something. The most severely damaged place is where the main power furnace of the empty ship is located. It was as if it had been cut by spatial turbulence, and most of it disappeared out of thin air, giving people an extremely strange feeling.

"Lu Jiu... Where's Lu Jiu?!"

An old voice came, and an old man covered in gauze walked briskly towards the dilapidated airship, supported by two young men.

Breaking free from the support of the two young knights, the old man threw away his crutches in a panic and ran to the side of the main power furnace that disappeared out of thin air. As for the two young knights. They looked at each other helplessly.

You know, this seemingly crazy old man in front of him is the current pope of the Church of Light, Ken D. Kee!

If it weren't for the fact that the upper echelons of the church were still busy cleaning up the pieces. If the two young knights wanted to be qualified to stand by the old Pope's side like this, they would have to train for at least another ten years.

"Lu Jiu, where are you, don't scare grandpa!" Two pillars of tears flowed from his cloudy eyes, and the old man, who was known for his tough guy style, couldn't help but cry at this moment.

He vividly remembered the resolute look on the girl's face when she asked her companion to leave with him and Slippery.

The violent explosion that had just been in the compressed space tightly wrapped in layers of magical barriers couldn't help but make Ken's scalp tingle.

Ordinary people may not feel it, but Ken can be very sure. If those magical barriers hadn't been able to completely block the damage caused by those explosions, the consequences would have been unimaginable, at least the entire area of Jerusalem would have been leveled in an instant.

Calloused hands were constantly playing with the rubble in the ruins. Ken even forgot to use his magic for a moment.

In fact, how could Ken, who had lived most of his life, not know the outcome of this battle? In doing so, he is only comforting himself in disguise. Give yourself a little more hope.

He has lost more in the long years, if he loses this lovely and kind granddaughter again. Ken is going to have a straight breakdown...

Ken's feelings for Lu Jiu are complicated. This kind of affection is mixed with the care of his senior brother's descendants and his own love for Lu Jiu, and Ken even regards Lu Jiu as more important than himself.

And when he was silently holding back tears and picking up the rubble on the ruins, an old man and a young man who were also wrapped in bandages also came here after stepping through a blue-faced rakshasa door. One of the younger ones is still holding a cute little Lori carved in pink.

"How can this be? Why can't I feel the slightest breath of dew?" his chest shook violently, and as soon as his front foot stepped into the position of the spatial node set on the Jerusalem side, a wave of unease surged into the heart of the slave carp companion.

recalled Lu Jiu's unusual behavior when he left, combined with Ken's dejected expression. The carp companion immediately had an unacceptable answer in his heart.

No wonder, no wonder I always felt that something was wrong at that time...

"Where's Mom and Dad?" pinched the carp's cheek, and Mikoto blinked her big beautiful eyes.

"Mom... Mom, she..."

All of a sudden. The carp companion didn't know how to answer Mikoto, and all the words were stuck in his throat.

"Where's Mom and Dad?"

Mai Trin's voice, like a sharp blade, mercilessly pierced the carp's heart.

Looking at her father's red eyes, although Mai Qin was only five years old, she immediately understood what she was smart about. The big pretty eyes turned red all at once. Anxiously asked, "Dad, why don't you speak... Mom. Where's Mom? Mai Trin wants to see Mom..."

"Mai Trin...", gently stroking her daughter's soft hair, in order not to irritate the little one, the carp companion said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Mom, she went to a very distant place..."

"Liar!" broke free from the carp companion's embrace, Mai Qin showed two cute tiger teeth, and stared at her father with bared teeth, "Dad, you deceive people... Mommy, mommy her... Is it never going to come back... Woo..."

Sobbing softly, Mikoto trembled and grabbed the carp partner's sleeve without looking up at him.

She was afraid, afraid that his dad would nod.

How could she not feel distressed when her daughter's appearance fell in the eyes of the carp companion? Originally, I wanted to hide this matter first and tell her when Mikoto grew up, but I didn't expect that the little guy had already guessed everything.

"I'm sorry, Mai Trin... It's Dad who didn't protect Mom... It's all Dad's fault. ”

Squatting down, the carp companion hugged his daughter.

"Liar, Mai Tamin doesn't believe it!" struggles to escape from the arms of the carp companion again, but this time Mai Tamin does not get her wish. This time, the carp companion hugged it too tightly!

"Mai Trito, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

"Ahh Mom !!"

Maybe it was the apology of the carp companion that irritated Mikoto again, and the little guy's eyes were like a dam that had burst its embankment, and tears kept rolling out.

"Woo woo woo..." hugged the carp companion tightly, after Lu Jiu was gone, he had become her only support.

"Mom, Mom obviously said that she would be with Mai Tamin all the time..."Tears and snot all flowed down the carp companion's clothes, and Mai Sakato raised her right hand, which was still a little baby fat, and then stretched out that little thumb. "A liar wants to swallow a thousand needles, but Mai Trito doesn't want her mother to swallow a thousand needles, Mai Trin just wants her mother to come back... Woo woo, Dad, can you let Mom come back, Mai Trin must be obedient..."

"I'm sorry, Mai Trin, Mom she's not coming back... In the future, maybe only Dad and Lu Sheng will be left with you..."

As the saying goes, long pain is better than short pain, and now that Mai Trin already knows the truth, the carp companion doesn't want to continue to hide it. Even though this will have a certain impact on Mikoto's young mind, the carp companion has to do it.

People always have to grow. You can't live in the old life forever. Just like when you walk, you have to look forward with your head up and chest high so that you don't fall, and that's the same with life. And Lu Jiu handed over Mai Trin to herself in the end, so the carp companion must take this responsibility! As a family member, but also as a father!

Letting his daughter fall into his arms and cry, the only thing the carp companion can do now is to hug this weak petite body tightly.

Looking at Mai Trin's appearance that she would faint at any moment, and the wind and rain were shaking. A wisp of tears crossed the carp's already red eyes.

It's not that he doesn't want to cry, but he can't cry! In front of his daughter, how can he cry easily!? If even his last support for Mai Trin has fallen, what should Mai Trin do?

Mai Trin, Dad will definitely take good care of you and raise you to be the best child in the future, along with Mom's share!
