Chapter 12: The Flame That Illuminates the Way

"It's safe to hide in here!And there's plenty of food!" Rare exclaimed, "It should be fine to stay here for a year and a half!"

"But......" said Old Adrian, reminded Alan of something else, "Speaking of which, we are still surrounded by werewolves outside the city, and this defensive barrier has not been able to hold up for long...... This magic mirror is going to be used to take refuge for everyone, so how can we break through this encirclement......"

"Shall you let me try it?" said Riel with some hesitation, looking unsure, "I'll take you on a starlight twinkle, huh...... How about going straight back to Beya?"

"No, it's too risky!" Alan shook his head, "At such a distance, if something goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

"Sure enough, I'm going to have to do it...... Cynthia said, "and I should be able to get rid of them all if I use the void." ”

"But the burden it brings to your body is too great, and we should adjust our physical condition to the best before we set off. Alan shook his head anyway.

"Now is not the time to worry about this!You don't know that time is running out for us!" Cynthia was a little anxious, "There is nothing else to do!"

When Alan heard this, he suddenly lost his mind.

"In that case, ......then," said old Adrian, after a moment of thought, "leave it to Greg Audrian." ”

"What are you going to do?" asked Allen.

Everyone was a little surprised and looked at him stunned.

But old Adrian did not answer them, but invited them all out of the Mirror of Pasuri, and he remained in the world of the Mirror.

"It's time for you to rest. Old Adrian left only a few words, "You have a whole night to prepare...... Tomorrow morning, I will personally chart the way forward for you. ”

As Old Adrian's voice fell, the Mirror of Pasuri slowly grew smaller and then vanished.

Although they didn't know what old Adrian wanted to do, seeing his serious expression, everyone didn't say anything more, and went to prepare for the road.

Eren packed everything he could bring with him, shrunk it into his pocket with a stretching charm, and sat down on the couch.

The road ahead was full of unknowns, and he could not foresee what difficulties and dangers he would encounter, which made him inevitably a little apprehensive, so it took a long time before he finally fell asleep in a daze.

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, when Alan woke up, old Adrian was already standing by the window waiting.

Outside the window, the morning light was hazy, and the snow seemed to have stopped.

The old man was looking up, staring at the sky in a daze.

"You're up early. "Now it seems to be ...... It's not even seven o'clock?"

"It's a habit I've developed since I was younger. "The birds that inhabit the Valley of Origin chirp only in the morning, and the sound of the tinkling of running water makes me feel good." ”

"Just thinking about it makes you feel refreshed...... It would be a blessing to live there. Allen said.

"yes...... If I could, I would have loved to go back and see it in my lifetime......" muttered old Adrian.

"In your lifetime?" Alan didn't understand a little, "You have an elf root in your body, as long as you want to go back, you can go back at any time......"

"Oh, don't worry, we'll be back soon!, and then drive the MONOCULUS back to the ground!" Alan thought for a moment and then said, "We'll go back there with you then!"

"That's not what I meant......" Old Adrian looked at Allen, smiled, and stopped talking.

"Then ......," Alan became more and more curious.

But before he could continue, the others were almost awake.

Old Adrian didn't go on.

According to the plan, Ryel, Alyssa, Cynthia, and Frey will travel with Alan, while Ivan, Cecilis, and Freya will stay here to help old Adrian take care of the survivors.

When everything was ready to stop, old Adrian took the lead and walked to the door: "Then, please come with me!"

Old Adrian pushed the door and walked out, and the crowd hurried to follow.

The people outside didn't know what happened in this room last night, and they were still immersed in a thick atmosphere of despair.

Because the classrooms used to house survivors were so cold that the corridors of each dormitory building were now crowded with people.

But there were many people, but no one spoke.

Most of them buried their heads in their knees, as if they were still asleep, as if they were in a daze, and a small number of people held last night's dinner in their hands, staring at it in a daze, as if they were reluctant to eat it...... But no matter who they are, they are just blindly silent...... They have all realized that death is getting closer and closer to them.

"Cheer up!" said old Adrian, who suddenly struck the ground with his cane and shouted, "It's not time to despair yet!"

His amplification spell was so powerful that it was loud and loud enough to spread through every corner of the castle. Looking at the ground again, he actually carved a deep pit with his cane......

Almost everyone was awakened by the sudden sound and stared at the strange old man in a daze. Even the people in the room came out to check on the situation.

I saw old Adrian walking forward and shouting, "The savior has appeared!

Old Adrian was like a bell.

His words seemed to have a magical power, and everyone couldn't help but feel excited! Whether they were sitting or leaning against the wall, whether they were old people or children, they all subconsciously got up from the ground and slowly approached him.

"The enemy is strong, but that doesn't mean we've lost!" Old Adrian continued to shout as he walked downstairs, "As long as we're alive, we're not losing!"

Alan and the others, who were closely following behind Old Adrian, also suddenly felt deeply encouraged, and they seemed to be injected with another force in their hearts!

"As long as we haven't given up the struggle, as long as there is a glimmer of hope left in our hearts, we haven't lost yet!" said old Adrian as he walked into the Four Seasons Garden, still chanting, and louder than before.

The followers behind old Adrian grew more and more, and they all stared at the old man intently, as if a magnet had drawn their gaze to him.

"And we can't give up the struggle!" said old Adrian as he walked into the square, "for our loved ones, for our lovers, for our dear friends!"

Old Adrian slowly walked up to the city, raised his cane and signaled everyone to stop, only letting Alan and the others follow.

"They may have left us, but as long as we live, they will be with us! with our hearts!" Old Adrian stood like an old king, standing majestically on the wall, "In order to remember them, to keep our children and grandchildren from suffering the same, we need to live well!"

As he spoke, a dazzling flash of fire suddenly appeared at the top of the crutch that Old Adrian was holding high, breaking the already fragile barrier and soaring into the sky!

"And now, the Savior has come to us!" Old Adrian turned to Alan and the others, "Let's pray for them...... May this sacred flame pave their way!"
