Even before the first rays of morning light appeared in the sky, the seaside of San Sebastian was already overcrowded.

Even those who have little interest in cooking have time to watch the game. After all, this is already the last game. Moreover, they also want to see if Erica can defeat both of them at the same time, which means that one person can surpass the younger generation of Spaniards, and if Erica can win, then Erica will be the first among the young wizards in Spain.

Even in the entire continent, there will never be more than twenty people with such potential. Although because of the genre, there is only one new star in each genre. This does not mean that these twelve people must be the strongest of the younger generation, but it is enough to explain a lot of problems. And if Erika defeats Yarudiba, it means that she has the strength to surpass the new star.

This is only a symptom of potential, but it is also a very surprising achievement.

Chrissy looked at the congested crowd and was also a little surprised.

"Saint-Sebastian is not one of those cities in France, it doesn't have a large population, and it's not easy to live in it. And the people who can live in this city are more or less level. If you don't like the game, you may even be unsightly, but there are so many people in this way, it seems that this last game is still quite attractive to them. ”

"That's a good thing, but it's a bit troublesome because there are too many people. Vicardo said.

Migello glanced at the crowd and thought it was acceptable.

"It's just okay like this. But it's not dawn yet. ”

"Just in time for a chance to watch the sunrise. Chrissy said.

Migello looked out to sea, the sun had not yet risen.

So he turned around and said hello, "Come on, since you have such a good opportunity." Just start the race when the sun rises. The sun rises and the sun sets. ”

Yarudiba and Nikko Nono walked over.

"Erica, come over here, too. Migello said.

Erica nodded, stepped out of the crowd, and made her way to the boat.

"The sun hasn't risen yet, so let's talk about it if we still have some time. You know. Why is this contest named after the stars?"

Migello said.

The three shook their heads.

Migello continued: "That's a story about the Star Child. ”

Once upon a time, a poor couple adopted an abandoned child, who was in swaddling clothes. There are stars in the sky.

As a result, the child became known as the Star Child.

He also considers himself a child of the stars, so he is very arrogant and always has no one in his sights.

Someday. A female beggar came to the village.

She told the star child. She is the mother of the Star Child, but the Star Child does not recognize her.

As a result, Star Child's face became extremely ugly.

Starchild begins to wake up and sets out to find his mother, only to become a wizard's henchman. The wizard asked him to go and find three pieces of gold.

On the way, Starchild helped a rabbit-eared girl, and with the help of the rabbit-eared girl, he found the three pieces of gold that the wizard wanted.

And yet on the way. He met another leper, and he was pleaded with by a leper. The Star Child gave the gold to the leper.

Then he found that the soldiers of the entire city were saluting him.

It turned out that the leper was his father, and he was also the king of the country. He finally found his parents.

As a result, the Star Child became the future king.

"Is that the end of it?"

"No, three years. Only three years later, the star child died because of the suffering he had suffered. Migello said.

"Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. Whatever happens to others will inevitably happen to oneself. ”

"Everyone is a child of the stars. ”

"It's a little ridiculous, why should his parents, who are already kings and queens, abandon their own children?" asked Nono.

"Just as a woman wants to test whether her husband loves her, this pair of parents wants to test whether their children can love themselves without money and power," Arudiba said. It's a nuisance. ”

"It's not a good test. Erica said.

"yes, there are some things that aren't suitable for testing. Ah, forget it, maybe you are all substituted for the star children, but in fact, the person who told this story is a wizard. Migello said suddenly.

"Because there are only three pieces of gold. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Erica. "Three pieces of gold, is that the number of years of life?"

Because he got three pieces of gold, he only lived for three years.

"Yes, gold, also refers to alchemy, and you should understand the gold of alchemy, the stone of the sage. Eternal life, immortality, longevity. ”

"So that's why his parents abandoned him, because he didn't live long in the first place?"

Erica said.

"Maybe. ”

"So what does this have to do with the game?"

Nono asked.

"If gold refers to alchemy, then gold is not gold, but a philosopher's stone, and getting one will give the star child an extra year to live," Migello said. And the star, in fact, is also a kind of stone. ”

Erica guessed with some surprise: "Is that what the star child made himself?"

"The so-called alchemy is to create something out of nothing. But there is no zài in the world, it really comes out of nothing, it's just that what doesn't exist in the original zài becomes zài. Do you remember in the Battle of Saturn, that field of gravity? ”

Erica nodded.

"Gravity is also a product of alchemy. Do you understand? Gravity is an alchemical product created by a super alchemist in the world. This alchemist, who once ate the apple of sin. Therefore, he refined gravity. ”

Migello's words seemed a bit headless and brainless.

But Erica was somewhat clear.

Gravity, gravity.

Its source is the Latin gravitas.

Heaviness.

The alchemist that Migello was talking about had eaten the original version of the apple. It wasn't the apple we eat now, but the apple that was raised by a witch.

The apples, which were originally green and dry, only become delicious when they are stained with blood.

That alchemist ate the apple that was cultivated with human blood and life.

That guilt, that heaviness, refining this feeling, is gravity.

The Star Child is the same, because he has helped others, because he longs for salvation, he has refined gold that can save himself.

The story of the star child, Erica has completely understood.

Everyone is a star child.

are bound to experience certain things.

And their hearts are the stars.

"What kind of stars are you?" asked Migello.

Yarudiba looked up and said, "I'm Yarudiba." ”

Yarudiba, Aldebaran.

Aldebaran。

It means follower.

Nono looked at the sky, the sun had not yet risen.

"Can I be daylight?"

"What kind of star does it belong to me?" said Erica, but she couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Finally, Alika answered herself.

"I'm just the sky. ”

"The sky can hold all the stars, but none of them are their own. ”

At this time, Erica finally felt a kind of loneliness.

It was loneliness from the depths of the soul.

Coming from another world, this is not her world, and it doesn't belong to her.

She will help Sora as soon as they meet, not only because she is kind, but also because she is lonely. She is not here to redeem emptiness, but to redeem herself.

If at that moment, she let the air die.

So now she must have nothing.

So at that moment, it wasn't just Erica who saved Sora, it was Sora who saved Erica.

At this time, Erica suddenly had such a realization in her heart.

And it was at this time that Migelo spoke.

"The sun is up, get ready, let's go!" (To be continued......)
