Allen's heart tightened.

The voice...... It's old Adrian.

"It's Mr. Audrian!" "Riel was a little surprised, but a little delighted, "when did he come here too?"

As he spoke, he was about to run to open the door, but was stopped by Allen.

Riel looked at him stunned, not quite understanding his actions.

I saw Alan slowly walk to the door and put his hand on the doorknob, as if he wanted to open the door for old Adrian with his own hands...... But the next second, it suddenly stopped......

"Knock knock!" there was a third knock on the door.

"Open the door, Allen...... I know you're in there. Old Adrian's voice was a little hoarse, "I have something to tell you......"

But Allen's hand didn't turn for a moment...... There was even a little trembling......

After another moment, his hand fell completely.

"Allen...... What's wrong with you?" asked Riel, "won't you invite Mr. Adrian in?"

But Alan didn't speak, just put his head on the door panel and slowly knelt on the ground......

He didn't know how to face old Adrian......

By the River of Tranquility, he encounters the werewolf Kayla for the first time and saves Riel and his lives during the Triple Trial...... This old man has saved their lives more than once...... But the loss of his parents, the destruction of Krivari City, and even the fact that the Hepp continent will now fall into such a big crisis, this old man is also inextricably involved...... After all, he is the biological father of the culprit Arne Béresto......

This extremely contradictory mood made Allen feel uncomfortable...... Thinking of his parents, he couldn't help but start sobbing again.

Originally, old Adrian was about to continue knocking on the door, but suddenly he heard the movement in the door, and instantly guessed a few points, and his hand stopped in mid-air.

There was another deathly silence......

Everyone just stood there in a daze, and even Alyssa didn't run to him to comfort him as usual.

The silence didn't last long, though......

I saw Cynthia walk up to Alan in three steps and two steps, and yelled at him: "Coward, are you just going to cry!"

Like a thunderclap exploding in Allen's ears, Allen couldn't help but be stunned and stopped sobbing6

In his memory, Cynthia had never been so angry...... It was the first time, and it was a spill of anger on him.

"I really saw the wrong person!" Cynthia stared at Alan coldly, "Evasive, vulnerable, hopeless! This is not the Alan Paterna I know!"

Everyone was stunned by Cynthia's momentum, and they all looked at her in a daze, not daring to say anything...... Including Allen.

"How naïve are you going to be!" Cynthia didn't mean to stop at all, "Do you want to soak in memories and then die!"

Cynthia's words really hit Allen's key point...... He did have such thoughts......

Ever since learning that his parents had died, Alan had thought about dying more than once...... The huge psychological gap between seeing hope and suddenly despairing was unbearable for him......

The reality of his inability to fight against the Eye made him disgusted with himself for the first time, and he complained about the injustice of fate, why did this happen to him...... All he wants is family reunion, long-term companionship, and a stable and ordinary life...... But this kind of happiness, which is extremely ordinary in the eyes of ordinary people, seems extremely luxurious to him.

"I ...... I hate this kind of life!" Grievances and remorse gushed out in his heart, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down, "I hate myself like this...... What if you ...... I'm a little more talented, and I'll be able to set foot in my magic sooner...... If I had enough strength, I could have stepped up and helped them in time...... Maybe things will be different now!"

Alan fell to his knees and pounded the ground hard.

Cynthia was quite angry when she heard this...... He was not the one who caused the current situation, but he had to suffer all this in silence......

"I can understand your feelings...... Cynthia walked up to him after a moment and put her hand on his shoulder, "You're right, you really don't have that kind of power...... None of us had ......."

Allen's mood calmed down a little, and he raised his head and looked at her silently.

But that's not a reason to stop. Cynthia stared into his eyes and said word for word.

"You can't always live in memories...... Cynthia said after a pause, "it's good to have memories...... There is beauty, sunshine, warmth, and countless things that make you nostalgic and make you reluctant to give up...... I also often think about my playmates when I was younger, the friends who were kind to me...... But I also know that if I stay inside, I'm only going to lose more. ”

Cynthia's words seemed to touch some sensitive places in Allen's heart, and his emotions couldn't help but start churning one after another......

"So...... What about you?" Cynthia asked, "have you lost less?"

"But...... We can't beat it......" Alan said after a moment's hesitation, "we...... Lack of strength......"

"Then find a way to get these powers!" Cynthia said firmly, "think of your parents...... What are the things they have tried so hard to preserve?"

"My life ......," Alan muttered, "our lives ......"

Cynthia's words reminded him of the last moment of Tim and Marianne's entrustment: "To live!"

"Nope. Cynthia shook her head, "They didn't just make this choice for the sake of your life, they made it for the sake of their children's lives......"

Alan looked at her stunned, suddenly a little excited.

"What they are desperately trying to preserve is hope......," Cynthia also looked excited, "the last hope on this continent!"

Cynthia's words made Eren feel empowered...... It was as if something had quietly sprouted in his heart.

"They entrusted us with what they couldn't do...... "so we can't let them die in vain!"

"Unfinished business......"

"Yes...... Actually, they've left all the clues to us, haven't they?"

It was really a word to wake up the dreamer...... Alan immediately understood what Cynthia meant by this "clue", but he had been immersed in memories and grief until now......

"Yes......" Alan wiped the corners of his eyes when he heard this, and stood up from the ground, "The power to defeat the magic eye is indeed already in our hands...... Just need to take a moment to find them......"

"I'm not going to let them die in vain!" Alan clenched his hands.

"So......" Cynthia's expression finally became less solemn and looked at him hopefully.

"I'll find them...... Find these lost relics!" Allen's eyes regained their former sparkle.

The whole room seemed to be suddenly illuminated by some kind of mysterious light......

"I'll destroy the Magic Eye with my own hands!" Allen's heart rekindled hope, like a flame, burning more and more, "For ...... No more to lose!"
