"Exem!How long can this ironclad barrier last!?"

"I don't know, sir, if this is really the magic eye, I'm afraid ......."

"Organize more people to reinforce it! At the very least, don't let those werewolves break in!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Krull, what's the situation on the south side of the castle, is there an escape route?"

"Report to the sir! Not only the south side, but the entire castle has been completely surrounded by werewolves! The water is impassable! And the news that the perception team has just sent has completely controlled the ground within a radius of dozens of miles...... Including below the cliff!"

"Stay on the lookout!"

"Yes!"

"Sarkis, can you get in touch with the big cities in other regions?"

"Not yet, sir!...... They may have been in a similar situation!"

"Don't give up on contact! Notify me as soon as there is any new development!"

......

"Where is this......" Alan had just regained consciousness when he heard the chaos around him.

The noise, the cries, and the footsteps were intertwined, and the noise made him have a splitting headache.

"Alan, are you awake?" came Alyssa's anxious voice.

"Hmm...... It hurts......" Alan opened his eyes in a daze, and there was a pain in the back of his head. He rubbed it and found that there was no external injury, just some swelling.

"Uh...... I'm sorry......" Rare helped him up and said, "I hit you...... Belch...... I can't help it...... And the situation was urgent, and I couldn't control the strength well......"

"At that time...... The situation is urgent......" Alan took a few deep breaths, felt much clearer, and saw the surrounding scene clearly.

It was a little dark.

The sky was overcast, and if you looked closely, a translucent barrier loomed over the castle, and a thick layer of snow had fallen on it.

He was surrounded by familiar faces...... Alyssa, Riel, Cynthia, Frey, Cecilis, Ian, and Freya.

He was lying in a corner of the auditorium steps. In front of me is the school square, and the immortal tree directly opposite is shining a faint red light.

The square was packed with people.

The walls of the castle seemed to have undergone some subtle changes, and the walls were full of people standing shoulder to shoulder, all with wands in hand. Outside the castle, howls erupted......

It's a werewolf......

"Daddy, Mom!" Stimulated by the werewolf's cry, Alan quickly remembered what had happened earlier, "Where are they!?"

Alan looked around, looking at everyone with an inquiring look.

But none of his friends answered him, but they all bowed their heads and did not dare to look him in the eyes......

"They...... Where......" Alan vaguely remembered the last thing he saw, and his voice suddenly began to choke involuntarily......

It was the brightest light he'd ever seen in his life, from the tip of his father's wand...... The Last Light......

"They're in this castle too...... aren't they" Alan tugged at Riel's arm with red eyes, biting his lip and trying to laugh out loud, as if he still had one last glimmer of hope, "You were ...... Starlight Twinkle was used...... So ......"

Kreel opened his mouth and hesitated before he said, "Hug, I'm sorry...... The time it takes for the stars to twinkle is really short, but ......"

"I don't want to hear anything, but!" Hearing this, Alan immediately interrupted him rudely, "It's nothing! Even if you don't catch up, someone else will rush over and save them!"

"Calm down, Alan. Seeing this, Cynthia finally couldn't help it and opened her mouth, "Although I can understand your feelings, the facts now are...... Krivari ...... It's been razed to the ground......"

"...... Razed to the ground......" Alan was stunned when he heard this, suddenly feeling unable to understand Cynthia's words, and trembling all over, "Are you ...... What do you say...... That's ...... Krivari ......"

"Yes...... Krivari City ...... It's gone...... Cynthia added, "no one thought that the MONOCULUS could manipulate the dark elementals as well...... It's something I've never heard of before......"

"But my dad ...... His light ......" Tears began to roll in his eyes, "I saw him fighting against the Magic Eye......"

"Yes, he's trying to fight the MONOCULUS......" Cynthia sighed and said slowly, "but it's a pity...... The 'darkness' gathered by the Demon Eye is a collection of evil thoughts of human beings...... That's not something your dad can do alone......"

"So ......"

"Gone...... Cynthia also opened with some difficulty, "those lights...... Follow Krivari...... Disappeared ......"

Hearing this, Alan couldn't stop his tears anymore and burst out of his eyes......

Cynthia's words were already very tactful, but the meaning was also very clear......

"Uncle Tim he ...... It's really great......" Seeing Alan burst into tears, Alyssa also began to choke, held his hand tightly and said, "In order for us to escape, he used all his magic to buy us time......"

"Yes...... Thanks to Uncle Tim, he bought me enough time to chant the spell......" Rare said quickly, "Originally...... We're all going to die there......"

"Yes, I can assure you, Riel has done his best...... Cecilis said, "but...... It was too late......"

Everyone tried to speak as tactfully as possible, trying to alleviate the sadness in his heart as much as possible...... But in the face of everyone's comfort, Allen just squatted on the spot, buried his head in his knees, and sobbed vigorously......

Seeing this, the others couldn't bear to look at it anymore and twisted their heads to the side...... Only Alyssa was still holding his hand tightly.

Alan really couldn't accept all of this......

As if he had never imagined that he and his parents would be together in such an unexpected way in such a place, he also did not expect that they would say goodbye in such a hurry......

It's not even too late to say anything more......

The memories of just over a month have flooded my mind...... Every caring greeting from Tim and Marianne, every slightly doting action, and every loving look in his eyes were still vivid, like movie clips, constantly appearing and replaying in his mind, making him feel in a trance that that time was as beautiful as a dream......

"Your sixteenth birthday...... Alan, we will definitely celebrate your next birthday with you. Marianne said one day at dinner, "Then the time will come to our house to invite the Rare family to our house!"

"Yike...... I didn't expect you to look like an adult...... I've knitted it for you in my spare time, but it seems like you can't wear it anymore?" Marianne held a sweater in her hand and gestured over him, "I'll knit you a new one later!"

"No, that's how the instructions should be ...... here," Tim said as he demonstrated to him repeatedly, more patient than any teacher.

......

But now, these words and promises have never had a chance to be fulfilled, and there is no chance to do it again......

The more beautiful the past you have, the more hurtful it will be when you lose it...... Memories are such things.

Alan's sobs grew louder and louder, and slowly, they turned into howling and crying......

No one dared to comfort him at this time, for fear that he would touch a sore spot that made him sad even more......

Of course, no one knew how to comfort him...... Including Alyssa and Cynthia.
