His heart seemed to beat wildly, and Ivan gasped hard, and couldn't help but feel a sad feeling.

It turns out that the demons are like this, should it be said that they are too cold-blooded, or are they too practical? Well, that's fine, Rashter's good friend, Sloss's corpse sank into the sea, no matter whether there is Romesa in the north of the Paran continent, the sea is connected after all.

There is no need to feel sorry for Rust, but the stone in Maureen's hand ......

Ivan's gaze returned to the small red stone, it was unimaginable, even if it was a terrifying and powerful enemy, the third demon general, the magic core after losing its magic power was just so ordinary, not even as good as a slightly more beautiful gem. Ivan stared at the stone for a long time, and the pattern on the stone bloomed like a golden lily.

"Maureen poems. Ivan looked at the innocent-looking demon girl very seriously, "I don't need this, you can keep it." ”

"Huh? But, too—"

"Keep it, take it as a memorial. Ivan unconsciously interrupted Maureen's words. A stone that has no magic power at all must be useless to Maureen's poem, but it shouldn't be a question of whether it's useful or not.

Isn't it because Ruster would have protected Ivan and didn't kill him...... Are Maureen and Rust friends? Although Rust said a lot of bad things about Maureen's poems, if you think about it, those are the words of people who are very close, right?

Demons are supposed to have feelings, just like Ishal's mother.

"Ji ...... Nian ......"

Mo Linshi, who tilted her head slightly, faced Ivan with a solemn expression, and she also looked solemn.

"What is the memorial for?"

"Remembrance is, it is...... In order not to forget that experience...... That man...... So ......" Ivan explained distraughtly. What kind of explanation is this, it's just too clumsy, but he's just so bad at words.

"Me. What I want to say is that although Ruster is dead, whenever you see this, you will think of her...... If nothing is left and disappears from this world, it is as if there was never a zài......"

Maureen still didn't seem to understand.

Sure enough, no. Just explaining a word is so tiring. Unconsciously, the hole that had been buried in the bottom of my heart faintly resurfaced. On Ivan's wrist, there is also a memorial that belongs to him, which is a gift from his dead mother Wendy to his father, and the magic magic weapon that has always accompanied him, Lightgill. Ivan wanted to explain it to Maureen now, but he couldn't think of anything, and his throat couldn't make a sound as if he was choked.

Long.

"Ah, I see. To remember Rosa? As long as I remember Rosa, Rosa has never saved zài, does that mean?"

As if suddenly realized, Maureen suddenly grasped the very small stone.

"Well, keep it, at least you won't forget her death. Asa added softly. Maraine's expression suddenly became solemn, she looked at Asa and nodded slowly.

"Okay. Well, I'll keep it. ”

......

Took a slight turn in the cabin. Many of the strange devices and patterns are in dilapidation, and I don't know how long it will take to fix them. When I got back to the deck, the sky had turned a jewel-like blue, and the tide was rising and the waves were splashing. When I walked along the gravel path through the sea and back to the shore, my clothes were wet.

“...... That one. Maureen followed them ashore. "I, I have one more question for you, Ivan, you've met Ann Li, haven't you?"

Ivan stopped.

"Hmm. I've seen it. "The voice is as if it doesn't belong to you.

"Ann Li, she was killed by Artel......" Maureen muttered with her head down.

“......”

The sea style is cold, especially at this moment, since meeting Maureen's poem, Ivan has often recalled the long-lost sea of ice, and the biting chill and the images in his memory have surged up together.

Maureen turned her head away, as if she had just been talking to herself.

"Yes...... I. Ivan's gaze stared vacantly at the dim mountain wall, "I, I don't remember very well, anyway...... That, because I fought with her before, and there is her magic power in the magic weapon, so I ......"

Maureen didn't say a word. Waiting for his mind to calm down, Ivan continued.

"My mother died because of her, and my father and me...... They almost died at her hands. Sloth, she ...... They should not have attacked the land of men. ”

Maureen still didn't say a word. The three of them were clubbing motionless on the shore.

"yes...... Ha ha. Suddenly, Maureen laughed dryly. Ivan turned his head sharply, and Maureen narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled with a slightly desolate curvature.

"Actually, Ann Li doesn't like the character of fighting very much, she always feels that it is troublesome to do anything. Still, she went to the human race......" said Maureen, "and I didn't know anything when she left, but it wasn't like that, I should, I expected it...... Because, I took Yatel to the warehouse......"

Ivan was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask, but Maureen slowly lowered his head, his ears drooped, and he swallowed back the words he wanted to ask.

"It's okay, I don't hold a grudge against Ivan for this kind of thing, that's how it should be...... At that time, Annie and Ivan were enemies......"

As she spoke, her eyes seemed to be a little hazy.

"I want to go back. Don't worry, I won't betray you. It's getting dark, do you need a light?"

"It's okay, I guess I can get out of the valley before dark, and after I get to the city gate, I can borrow the carriage of the Yu clan and go back. Asa said, with a complicated expression. Maraine turned suddenly.

"Okay - see you next time. She deliberately pretended to be cheered up, and after speaking, she walked towards the "Heavenly Dome Temple". As if trying to escape something, she walked faster and faster, and finally simply trotted up. Ivan hesitated for a moment and looked at Asa, who shook his head.

When the two of them walked into the valley and turned back for the last time, there were only waves left on the sea.

......

When they returned to the Sky Mansion, the entire city of Arcatia was shrouded in darkness, and the servants of the Feather Clan had prepared some dinner for them. It's like the curtain of a drama falling, and at this moment, it seems that all the wind and waves are over.

"Can you rest in peace?" asked Asa.

"Hmm. Ivan was a little distracted. Not only exhaustion, but also something else deposited in the chest. I had met and talked to Mo Linshi, but he didn't feel a trace of relief.

"Well, after resting, I want to go to a place with you. ”

"Uh...... Oh, okay. Ivan agreed absentmindedly.

After a moment of silence, Asa sighed.

"Ivan, maybe it was really you who did it to Slos in the end, but it must have been Artel who caused this qiē to happen behind the scenes, and there are some things in the past that you can understand, but for now, just believe what I say. ”

"Yes, is that so?" said Ivan, looking up blankly.

"Yes, about the story between them, in the future, Maureen and I will tell you. Asa made a solemn promise. (To be continued......)

PS: P.S. couldn't get up yesterday, I'm sorry.
