"This is the last time I see her. ”

Ashley Hill's words rang in Allen's ears, pulling him out of the memory.

"She saved you......" After watching the scene just now, Alan only felt that his heart was turbulent, and his heart was pounding and beating...... He was struck by Intiana's actions.

Obviously, Intiana herself knew that she might not be able to return alive with so many enemies alone...... But she didn't hesitate to make that decision, it was so calm, as if it were all taken for granted......

"Yes, she saved me...... Saved us all......" Ashley Hill was also a little excited, and his tone suddenly became much heavier: "It's just unilateral, and such a decision was made without my consent!

It was clear that he was the one who was saved, but he seemed extremely reluctant......

"She's brave...... At least I think her decision was great!" Allen said, "I don't think everybody has that kind of awareness in that situation, the awareness to sacrifice themselves to protect others." If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have survived. ”

"I'd rather die there with her!" Ashley Hill interrupted him coldly, "It's obviously a consequence of my mistakes, but she's taking on this responsibility for me in this way that shouldn't have been borne by her...... She's always been like this and has saved me again and again...... In the end, I didn't even get a chance to thank you!"

Hearing this, Alan was a little stunned...... It was only now that he realized what Ashley Hill's ambivalent feelings were......

Although all the words that came out of her mouth were dissatisfied with Intiana, in fact, Ashley Hill wanted to say "thank you" to her from the bottom of her heart...... Perhaps, he had a lot of other things to say to her.

His anger, his complaints, and his reluctance, in large part, were due to the fact that it had become an eternal regret.

"She knew she couldn't stop so many people!" and she still had to do it!" Ashley Hill continued, "She's been like this since we first met, and she likes to go her own way!"

But she was right...... At that time, if no one could stop the people behind you, you would all die there. Alan still insisted on his thoughts, "If you, especially you, really died there at that time, the country you worked so hard to build would be over!

"Heh......" Ashley Hill suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said in disappointment, "Do you think it is a very happy thing to live until now...... Living in such solitude, with remorse and longing......"

Alan was stunned for a moment, and heard that there was something in his words. At the same time, he also felt that these words seemed a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that old Seaphus had said something similar.

"Although she tried her best to keep me for a while, what is the use of this, Selonari was destroyed in my hands after all......" Ashley Hill calmed down a little and continued, "My subordinates fled back to my country overnight with me unconscious, but the Five Nations Alliance did not intend to let me go easily...... They knew that this might be the only chance they could kill me, so it didn't take long for them to chase after them......"

"When I learned that they had reached the border with Selonari, I knew that Intiana was ......," Ashley Hill said as he sighed, "You know the feeling of self-defeating? It's the feeling of losing something important, losing your spirit, and not wanting to live in the world...... Dragging a body unfit for battle, rushing to the battle with anger, and misestimating the situation made me make command mistakes again and again, coupled with the collusion between traitors and foreign enemies internally, the results can be imagined...... In the end, not only did they fail to avenge them, but they caused heavy casualties among their subordinates......"

At this point, Ashley Hill paused, staring at Allen, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I don't feel anything ......but pain," Ashley Hill spat out a few moments later, "Death is the only way to free me from this war and pain......"

"Is it ......?"

"Huh...... Now that I think about it, I was so naïve to look for a short-sighted ......," Ashley Hill's mouth was full of self-deprecation, "but fate is so strange, I jumped off a cliff and didn't die...... As I was dying, a spirit appeared in front of me......"

"Sure enough, it's the elves......"

"He looked exactly like Sasur, he touched my forehead and put something into my body, and since then I have clearly felt that my body has become different from other people...... "I feel hungry but I don't need to eat at all, I don't feel sick for days without sleeping, and I even stop aging......"

"It's an elven root...... He gave you his elven roots. ”

"Yes, I also learned afterwards that it is the most important thing for the elves...... "I have begged the elves to resurrect Intiana in the same way, but no elves are willing to give their lives to resurrect a man who has used the soul as a weapon, and they consider it the greatest disrespect to the dead...... Moreover, there is no way to bring back the soul that has left the body without the elven root without her body......"

Ashley Hill was silent again.

"I'm a little mad at her......" It was a long time before Ashley Hill spoke again with some difficulty, "she knows my thoughts, and knows that I have her at my heart in everything...... I also asked her if she would marry me when it was all over......"

"Sure enough...... It's not just comrades-in-arms and friends......"

"She didn't answer directly, she just said, 'I want to live and die together in this life'......" Speaking of this, Ashley Hill unconsciously complained a little, "but she still left me alone...... So irresponsible and walked away and threw everything to me......"

"I see...... That's why you refuse to use the 'Gate of the Dead'......" Eren suddenly understood everything, "Because the elves refused to resurrect her, let alone accept her as one of them, there is a good chance that her soul will be contained in the 'Gate of the Dead'......"

"Yes, I've tried everything I know to resurrect her......" Ashley Hill's voice suddenly became smaller and smaller, "I wanted to ask her why she didn't show her appointment, why she did that...... She knew that I had never been afraid of death, but she let me live alone......"

At last, his voice was so small that it was almost inaudible: "Just like that live forever...... Forever think about this mystery she left behind......"
