"Levi, I didn't hear you were doing an errand for a guy younger than you, is it money? Or a woman? Have you fallen? ”

"People live in this world, and they can't abandon their dignity."

"Didn't I teach you? You have to walk with your back straight. ”

Kenny seems calm, but his body is tense and ready to slip away.

"Watch your words, Kenny." Levi put away the etiquette and said coldly, "This is Councilor Ian of the government. ”

"Councillor? Such a small parliamentarian? Kenny frowned, "Are you playing me like a monkey?" How can a boy who doesn't have any hair grow up be a councilor? Don't make me laugh out of my big teeth. ”

"Mr. Kenny." Ian tapped the ground with his cane, "You take it back now, I can act as if nothing happened." ”

With the last crisp sound stopped, Ymir slit his palm with a knife.

Blood dripped down, golden lightning set off a fierce wind, and dust blew in the dust.

Kenny's jazz hat was blown up, his collar swelled, and he stared at the monstrous beast in amazement.

The five-meter-tall giant of the Jaw stands awe-inspiring on the street where the crowd has been evacuated in advance.

The bony mask, the knotted muscles that seem to explode, are full of power and streamlined body curves, and the eyes under the mask glow with some kind of hunting beast.

The Giant let out a low roar that locked Kenny's breath.

Kenny finally understands where that feeling of danger comes from.

He remembered that afternoon many years ago, when he was commissioned to assassinate the then King of the Walls, Uli Reis.

The man, the god-like eyes, Kenny was held by the hand of God, and the killing skills he was proud of were like a child's joke in front of God.

He has no power to resist in front of God, he is like an ant, God only needs to move his fingers lightly to pinch him to death.

But Uli Reis did not do that, and the man, who put him down, instead lifted the partial giantization, knelt down, and begged for his forgiveness.

"Forgive me for my stupidity for not being able to create paradise within these narrow walls."

Before that day, Kenny had been a fan of violence.

It is right to think that as long as there is power.

He had been living like that until that day, by violence, robbing him of everything he wanted, human life, food, money...

He lived in this world as an abuser, and he had always been the one who abused others, but today, he recalled again that the only time in his life was that he was dominated by others with violence, the feeling of powerlessness that seemed to be drowning in the bottomless water.

What he saw in front of him was the "violence" he had been pursuing.

"Please forgive me for being rude, Councilor Ian." He stooped down to pick up his hat that had fallen to the ground, pressed the brim of it to his chest, and made a standard gentlemanly salute: "It's me who is so stupid that people can't be distinguished by age." ”

"It's all right, Mr. Kenny."

Ian tapped his cane, and Ymir put away his offensive stance and obediently came behind him.

"Did you bring what we wanted?"

"Of course."

Kenny pulls out a small, delicate wooden box from his bosom, and when he opens it, there is a syringe inside, and the medicine in the syringe is a transparent silver-white color, shining with sparkling light.

"The spinal fluid potion that can turn the Eldians into giants, this thing will be used by the Lacey family in the inheritance ceremony."

"But... Now that you have God, do you still need it? For us Ymir's people, this is just pure poison. ”

"How much does Mr. Kenny know about the power of the King of the Wall?" Ian took the wooden box from Levi and took advantage of the sunlight to observe the spinal fluid potion.

"It can change the memory of people other than Ackerman, and it can control giants." Kenny said.

"No, that's not accurate." Ian shook his head: "The power of the Ancestors can only affect the people of Ymir, and it has no effect on other races, for example, the Ancestors cannot affect the Marais on the other side of the sea. ”

"The Marais... Isn't that your lie? ”

"I was expecting it to be a lie, but it was true, and some of us had already been to see the port of the Marais." Ian said, "The extinction of humanity is a lie of the 145th generation of King Eldia, who led our ancestors to the island of Paradis, built a wall, and called it Paradise. ”

"There is no noble reason, just because the king has betrayed the people, and he wants to seal us in the walls so that we can slowly meet death."

"What... Meaning? Kenny heard this for the first time.

"Mr. Kenny, you just said that the King of the Wall can control the giants, so why doesn't he free the walls and kill all the giants outside the walls?"

"This—" Kenny gasped.

This is indeed a question that has puzzled him for many years, but the answer to the question is unknown to even the people of the Lacey family.

Rod Reis had told Kenny that his brother Uli and he had the same idea before inheriting power from his father, and that his brother had promised him, the elder brother, that when he had power, he would let his people out of the walls.

But everything changed on the day of the ceremony.

"From that day on, Uli has changed, and I can see that Uli has become like his father."

"Frida too, as long as she inherits that power, no matter who she is, it will become the same, and the mission of our Lacey family is just to continue that existence."

Don't... Is the king of the walls a wall built so that his people can die?

Kenny never thought that this was the reason for everything.

"The king is a coward who avoids war, and if we do nothing, our homeland will be destroyed." Ian put the potion back in the box and buckled the lock, "I don't want to see that kind of scene, so I'll take every time and opportunity I can to move forward." ”

"I want to ask you again, Mr. Kenny, Lord Rod Reis, do you have the recipe for making spinal fluid potions?"

"Councillor Ian... What the hell are you... What are you going to do? Kenny had a guess that might come true, and he was hairy all over.

"It's just going to make use of the waste." Ian smiled faintly: "There are many ways to atone for people's sins, prison, labor reform... The most serious thing is the death penalty, but once a person dies, there is no way to create value for society, so I think that if a person commits an unforgivable sin, death may not be the best verdict, but rather a bit of a waste. ”

"You... Do you plan to use the power of God to control everyone? ”

Ian's shadow is stretched by the setting sun.

"Not everyone, people are free, we respect everyone's life, but only if he respects others."
