Time to go back to the night Xia Gelin visited.
After Xia Gelin asked to talk to Lucy alone, the two came to Lucy's room. Lucy lit the lamp, and under the light, Xia Gelin seemed to constantly exude a hazy brilliance, making her look extremely holy. Lucy noticed a trace of sadness on her eyebrows.
"Teacher, did you foresee anything?" Lucy whispered: "Those bad things..."
"Little Lucy, I saw something. But I'm sorry, I can't tell you, so as not to affect your judgment." Xia Gelin stretched out a finger and gently scraped Lucy's face: "I can only remind you that once the emperor descends on this planet, the fate between him and Alan will be tied."
"Father... will he kill Alan?" Lucy asked with a trembling voice.
Xia Gelin shook her head and came to the window. Looking out from the window, the lights of the city are full of lights. Quiet, but not angry. Xia Gelin whispered: "Your Majesty, he won't kill Allen. Of course, it would be easier to remove the threat directly from when there is no budding. If you change to another person, I believe he will do it. But Allen, He can't do it."
"Because of you, Lucy. Your Majesty, he loves you so much. He loves you far more than you think. Because of you, he will only take Alan away. At least when Alan turns into twilight. Before his son, he won't let Alan worry about his life..." Xia Gelin said this, showing a helpless smile: "But how can Alan let the emperor take it away? He is a flame. Unconstrained. When this happens, the flame will shine brightly. If this happened before the trip to the earth, I think Allen might choose to succumb for you... But now, his heart is full of anger. And his pride is not allowed. I will be trampled on by others at will."
"So Alan will refuse, and the consequence of rejection is war." Xia Gelin shook her head and said: "The war between two men is doomed to be unable to end peacefully. This is what I just called the dead end. Because Both of them have reasons for persistence. In this war, both of them are correct, but because of this, there is no more room for turning..."
"What should I do?" Lucy walked back and forth, and finally said: "Or, I'll go to Alan and we will leave here. The universe is so big, there is always a place for us."
"I thought so too, but would Allen think so? What's more, you can hide once, how many times you can hide. The emperor and you are close relatives, as long as you are with Allen, he can rely on blood The connection between find you. My little Lucy, the universe is very big and at the same time very small."
"So, is there no way?"
"Yes..." There was a strange light in Xia Gelin's eyes, and there was sadness and helplessness in that light: "That knot, only you can open it. Lucy, but that means you will be with Alan separates. I know very well the pain of being separated from my lover. If I can, I am willing to replace you. But I can’t. Only you can, because you are the most powerful connection between the two men. At the same time, also Only you can cut off their tangled fate."
"I can tell you the way, but whether you want to do this or not is up to you." Xia Gelin dripped a tear from her right eye, and she said: "I only hope that that moment will never come..."
Back to this moment.
"Now is that moment, Teacher Xia Gelin. I think, I'm ready..." Lucy said in a voice that she could only hear, and at the same time she stepped back, but Jin Qiangwei's muzzle Did not leave her for a moment.
Grifo had a contradictory expression on his face. He dared not follow, and even disarmed him, just to prevent Lucy from misunderstanding.
Behind the Duke, Ofascius and Allen both flew in and came to Grifo. Allen shook his head, then raised his foot, and heard Lucy yell: "Stand there!"
"Standing there, Ellen..." Lucy was tearful, and she smiled, but her smile was heartbreakingly beautiful: "Don't come over, just listen to me quietly."
"You, always insist that you are right. Of course I also know that none of you is wrong, but your persistence causes me pain. You can fight for what you insist on, but you don’t want to be quiet and listen. Listen to my heart. But now it’s okay, you guys are finally quiet, even if you were forced.” Lucy looked at Alan, smiled and said with tears: “Now I still remember, when I was on the death ring, I When he was poisoned, he said to me...I will not give up on you."
"Lucy..." Allen lowered his head, not daring to look at the girl's gaze. It is so gentle, yet gentle and painful. So even the black inflammation on that head was gradually fading, Alan didn't even know it. At this time, only the voice of a girl was in his ears.
"At that time, I was deliberately alienated by my father and mocked by my brothers and sisters. It was like a doll that was thrown away in the corner. No one would look at it. I participated in the death ring. I was angry with my father and made him embarrassed on his face. But I did not expect that I met you there, and at the same time let me know that I wanted to touch someone, and I did it with one simple sentence." Lucy smiled He said: "So I try my best to hold you tight, just like catching the last straw. Because only you won't give up on me, and then we walked all the way. From Pluto, to here, to the Garden of Eden. . I hold you firmly, just to be with you forever, this is my wish."
"Although there are more girls around you, even though I know you can’t just love me, even though I will be angry or even sad for the girl around you. But compared to losing you, these are worthy of What? Before today, I always thought there was nothing more terrible than losing you, but now, I have to let go by myself..."
Ellen clenched his fists and raised his head and said: "Stop talking, Lucy. Will you put the gun down first?"
Looking at his red eyes, Lucy shook her head lightly, then looked at Ofascius: "Father, I know I'm self-willed, and I've always made you angry. Actually I know that, even if you I didn't say it, even if Teacher Charglyn and Duke Griev didn't tell me, I knew it. You love me and mother, because I saw you crying in front of mother's bed more than once."
Ofascism's body began to shrink, and when he returned to his normal form, a layer of golden light covered his body. He looked like a god, but a sad god.
"I deliberately annoyed you, after all, I just want you to look at me more. My father, he is a king after all. He has too many children, even if he loves me, he can’t make more My eyes are shared with me, so I can only ask for it willfully." Lucy smiled sweetly: "It's okay, it won't be anymore, father. I won't annoy you anymore, I will do what you want. Looks like, I just ask you to let me be willful again today."
"Father, I beg you to let Alan go. Let him leave here and let him have the freedom he deserves!" Lucy said loudly, "As long as you agree to this request, I will go back with you. From now on, Lucy is just your daughter, and I will not make any more requests."
Ofascius closed his eyes, and he could see his whole body tense, and his fists clenched. Ellen on the other side said solemnly: "Lucy, you don't have to do this!"
"No, I have to do this." Lucy shook her head: "I have to do this, do you understand. Alan, only by doing this, I won't have to see any of you hurt. Only by doing this, father can Let go of the king’s responsibility for the time being, and you can get the freedom you want."
"But what do I want to do without your freedom!" Allen yelled, then his voice turned to judo: "If this is the case, I would rather..."
"Don't say it." Lucy said softly: "Don't say that, the man I love, he is a ball of flame, not a candle trapped under a lampshade. Get out of here, Allen . Give you and give my father some time. I believe that you will find a different way. Even now, even if you have awakened, I still firmly believe that you will not embark on the road to the end of all things."
Ellen's skin turned from red to white, and the rock armor on his body fell off, and even the pair of corners on his forehead disappeared like gravel in the wind. He regained his human form and changed back to the person the girl was familiar with.
A long sigh.
Ofascius bowed his head and said: "Notify our space fleet and let them lift the alert. Without my permission, no action is allowed."
Grifter stared at the emperor incredulously.
Ofascius looked at Lucy and said softly: "No father can refuse a request from a daughter. I am the King of Justice, but I am also a father." He turned his head and looked at Ellen: "Let’s go, I’m willing to take a bet for Lucy. If Lucy believes in you, then I am willing to believe in you. Ellen, do your best, don’t take that road. Otherwise, the end of the road must be Me!"
Ellen turned a deaf ear to the emperor's words, he just looked at Lucy.
The girl opened her mouth, but made no sound.
Ellen read her words.
I will always love you...
With a long roar, Allen flashed away. He first mentioned Bai, and then headed towards the south. The howling sound persisted in the wilderness for a long time, Lucy put down the golden rose, and finally let herself cry.
After today, she doesn't know if she will see Ellen. Even if goodbye, I don’t know what year? What month? when?
The starship in the sky dropped a beam of light onto Orfascius. After a while, the emperor had already put on a robe when he walked out again. He walked up to Lucy, helped her gently and said, "Go home, kid."
Lucy nodded, how weak she was at this moment.
One month later.
The border land in the southern part of the empire is now very different. Storm City and Dark Iron Fortress echo each other, and the thieves who were active in this area gradually disappeared. Not to mention that Storm City is now strong and powerful, but black. The lord of the Iron Castle, Higgs, successfully broke through the twentieth level half a year ago, and no thieves dared to provoke him. Higgs has become a veritable big figure in the frontier land, and his will can completely control the development of the frontier land.
However, including the merchants in Violet Harbor, they all know that it is not Higgs or Storm City that actually affects this area, but the co-owner behind them.
The young earl named Allen.
Especially not long ago, news came one after another, claiming that Earl Allen had broken through the 30th level and established the height of the ten sages. Regarding the matter that the Earl is the lord behind this land No one dared to question it anymore. What's more, news came from Tieqiangling. The second prince of the guest gun city promised that when he returned to the northern capital, he would grant the title of Duke Allen, and even exploded in the border land.
The Violet Port is very lively these days, and there are constantly inland merchants coming to this port by boat to actively communicate with the three cities of Violet Port, Storm City, and Black Iron Fort. Merchants are notoriously unprofitable, and since there are inland merchants who are fighting to seize business opportunities in the birthplace of the Duke in the future, they naturally indirectly confirm the reliability of those news.
For a time, Violet Harbor ranked above Ark Harbor.
Those quiet roads on weekdays have become lively now. The road from Violet Harbor to Storm City and Dark Iron Fortress has been able to see caravans coming and going every day in the past month, so a few horse-drawn carriages are not so eye-catching.
In one of the unmarked carriages, Edward was calmly looking at the man opposite. He leaned against the car window, his eyes drooping, his eyes calm. But time will always see a touch of sadness in his eyes. At this moment, he is three points more melancholic than usual, and a bit less sunny, but this way he looks different from the past.
"Really not planning to stay?" Edward asked.
He just raised his head, and the afternoon sun came in from the window, illuminating his red eyes like flames. Allen whispered: "I thought we had discussed this matter enough."
"In fact, I don't think your worry is unnecessary, but it can be solved." Edward sighed: "With your current strength, Julian is anxious to hold your thighs tightly. There are two princes. Pushing the flames behind, I am sure to use the power of the entire South for you. At that time, even if the Federation wanted to do anything, it was not that easy. So you see, I think you don’t have to leave."
"Edward, I know what you said. But I have my own concerns, yes, with the help of the power of the empire, I can not fear the Federation. After all, judging from the situation on the earth, the Federation and the nobles still barely maintain It's a superficial relationship. After that incident, no matter how much Mobit wanted to get me, he would not dare to use the army, otherwise he would lose his life." Allen spread his hand and said, "But what about it, as long as I stay in the heaven , As long as Mobit is unwilling to let go. Then the situation will gradually intensify, and in the end, the heaven star may become a fuse, causing the Federation and the nobility to completely split."
"Grandpa took the initiative to withdraw from the family that day. The purpose is obviously to prevent this from happening, so I won't let it happen." Allen looked out the window, looking far away: "Besides, I want to leave here too. ."
He didn't go on, but the lovely Dehua knew the reason for this.
When Alan and Bai returned to Dawn Castle that day, and Lucy did not appear, Edward had vaguely guessed what had happened. After that, Alan locked himself in the room alone for three days without sleep or food. After he left the room, he simply told everyone what happened in the wilderness behind Sardinia.
After Allen decided to leave Paradise Star, this brigade was formed.
Only Lola, Belmode, Hubble, and Bai will leave with Alan. The first three are Allen's followers, and they are more closely related than others. Not to mention Bai, since the incident on Earth, the young man transformed from the king snake said nothing to leave Allen for half a step. As for the others, Allen entrusted them to Edward.
After all, the foundation of Paradise Star cannot be said to be lost. What's more, leaving Heaven Star this time, Allen didn't know what would happen, and he didn't want to take other people into the risk. In addition, if there are too many people, the goal will be too obvious, but it will be targeted by those who are interested. So this time I went to the starship base in Suhl City, and only Edward was with him.
In the evening two days later, Allen saw the city of Suhl. From the outside, the city where they first visited the Heavenly Star is still the same as before. But the city is already very different. Under Lins's design and transformation, the city has now been used as a secret starship base on the heavenly star. There is a checkpoint arranged by Edward when it is still 30 kilometers away from the city of Suhl. All irrelevant people are denied entry here, and it has become an unannounced forbidden place on the border land.
Seeing the walls of Suhl again, Allen remembered the past. It was not easy at that time, but Lucy was by her side. Now that he has become an important figure in the South, the girl has already left. In a trance, he seemed to hear the girl's chuckle in his ears. But looking back, there was only air in the place next to her that was supposed to meet her.
Alan lowered his head, and the falling shadow covered his face, making it difficult to see his expression at the moment.
Edward sighed in his heart.
After two days of preparations to ensure sufficient food and energy on board the Dawn, Allen said goodbye to Edward and walked into the starship one after another. When the starship hatch closed, Allen felt a pain for no reason, and he couldn't help but grasp his chest with his hands.
"Are you okay?" Lola held him up and asked.
Ellen smiled and said lightly: "It's okay, let's go, it's time to start."
Looking at his back towards the control room, Lola almost wrinkled her brows together. Belmode's voice came from behind: "Give the young master some time, he will get through it."
Lola nodded, now she can only believe Alan.
In the control room, the captain who took the initiative to join the journey saluted Allen and asked: "Master Allen, where are you going?"
Ellen looked at him, looked at Laura and others, and said calmly: "Until now, I haven't told you the destination. I was negligent. Fortunately, I haven't really set off yet, so let me tell You are all right. In case you regret it, there is still a chance to leave."
"Everyone, the universe is huge, and you can go almost everywhere. But the universe is also very small. If someone deliberately digs us out, I honestly think it’s not very difficult. So I’m going to a place full of With flames and chaos, there is only war but no peace. That is the eternal battlefield. But only there, maybe we can find a new way out."
Allen's gaze fell on the faces of the other personnel on the starship: "There is Agareth, a place that neither the Federation nor Idahua can reach!"
