They came to the door, and Edward nodded to Lucy and left first. Lucy took a deep breath, then gently opened the door with both hands. The light in the door was dim, and the hanging curtains danced and flicked in the sunlight. The sunlight through the curtains left unpredictable shadows in the room. Allen sat under the edge of the bed by the window, leaving Lucy a path. Blurred silhouette.
He didn't speak, he just looked at a pocket watch in his hand intently. He looked so seriously, and the light flowing past his eyes was full of sadness. One of the softest parts of Lucy's heart hurts, and then her vision becomes blurred. She quickly wiped away the tears that hadn't had time to drop, and then coughed lightly.
The light in Allen's eyes suddenly became cold, like an ice rock suddenly falling and sealing his mind. Then when he raised his head and saw Lucy, the indifference in his eyes faded slightly, and a smile appeared on his face, but the smile did not make him look lighter, but rather tired. He patted the edge of the bed, and Lucy walked quietly, only to see a photo in her pocket watch. In the yellow photo was a girl with a stubborn expression, which looked a bit similar to Ellen.
"This is a photo of my mother when she was a child. It has been kept by my grandfather. It was not until our first expedition that my grandfather gave it to me. He said there was this pocket watch, just like my mother would always be with me. . I know it is very important to Grandpa, but he still gave me the watch. I am grateful for everything he has done for me. But now, I may never see him again."
Lucy put her hand on Ellen's thigh. She didn't know what to say, so she didn't say anything at all. Perhaps as Edward said, company is the best comfort.
Allen smiled, closed his pocket watch, and cherished it into his arms. He looked at the girl and stretched out his hand to stroke her hair: "I know what you want to say, Edward is so anxious to find you back, so he wants you to comfort me? He is really interested, but you don't have to worry about me too much. . That’s right, grandpa’s affairs made me very sad, but at the same time I was also very angry. At this moment, anger exceeds sadness, and I will not let myself fall. Otherwise, I will not have a chance to settle with some people."
"Ellen..." Lucy said, holding his face, "There is only me here, you know, I am willing to share everything with you. Whether it is happy or sad."
"I know, but Lucy, I don’t even have time to be sad or decadent. Edward only buys me a few months, not more than half a year, before the federal army will appear. Before that, I You must be fully prepared." Allen grabbed her hand and said, "It doesn't matter if Edward calls you back, I can say goodbye to you now."
"Farewell?" Lucy was surprised: "Where are you going?"
"Blood King Cemetery!" Allen said, "When I was heading north, I felt that something was calling in the Blood King Cemetery more than once. I must go there to see, even once. And I It needs power, the power to fight against the Federation, and to avenge some people. The Blood King Cemetery should be a good choice. I will go deep into the ruins and explore areas that the empire has not set foot in. At the same time, I will sharpen myself. And this time, I will be one People go."
"That's too dangerous!"
"I know, but Lucy, besides sharpening myself, I also need a space to be alone. You all care about me, but there are some things that I have to face." Alan closed his eyes and posted on Lu Akane’s cheek: "I need you to believe me as always, that's enough."
Lucy squeezed his hand: "Of course I believe you, this has never changed!"
The two looked at each other speechlessly. At this moment, no words can convey their hearts as well as a look in their eyes. The atmosphere in the room became calm and quiet, and Lucy leaned on Alan's shoulder, feeling his breath lingering around her. How she wished to rely on each other like this until eternity. But that was impossible after all. After a while, Allen broke the silence.
"Tell me, during my absence, did anything major happen in the empire?"
Lucy said "um," and her stagnant thoughts began to turn, flowing into the distance like flowing water. She left Alan’s warm and powerful shoulders, her voice was like a breeze blowing over the treetops: "Two days ago, Mason came. He and Julian met alone, and just yesterday, Julian announced that he was leaving for Iron Spear Ridge. Huo. Yi also went back, and Mason accompanied him. They did not specifically say. However, Julian revealed some details when saying goodbye to everyone. It seems that in Tieqiangling in half a month, the nobles will be summoned in the name of Hoy and Elizabeth. Men. At that time, Mason will come forward to confirm that the new imperial prime minister is the murderer who assassinated Tangerio. He wants me to say, if everything goes well. After the shadow Principality is repelled, Julian will be able to return to the imperial capital smoothly."
"Mason's wife?"
"Well, I heard that I have passed away." Lucy said again: "One more thing, Woodrick has led the dragon army to Sardin. Currently, he is cooperating with General Sirin in Sardin to resist the Duchy of Shadow. The army. If you are going to the Blood King Cemetery, you will pass through the city of Sardin. You may be able to see Woodrick at that time. The situation in the south is fairly stable, and several fronts of God ** maintain an invincible situation. However, the war on the northern defense line is not very optimistic. Originally, there were Dragon Army and Black Wolf Army in the North, plus the Bucks Army. These three armies are combined together, and the North is like a piece of iron. Unfortunately, because of Howson’s. Relationship, the dragon army went south, and the remnant was in vain, and the black wolf army temporarily took over."
"At present, the Bucks Army has divided a part of its troops to the south, and the remaining troops plus a Black Wolf Army are obviously insufficient. But the important thing is that two of the three Great Warlords of the Shadow Duchy are stuck. On the northern front. But the generals of the Lion King Army and the Dragon Army are in the south. At present, there are only a few strong players in the North, and there is only Rodek in the army. I heard Rodek. I was already quite dissatisfied with Arkham’s self-sweeping behavior, and asked him to fight with the Bear Armour several times, but Arkham’s command of the Marshal was violated. He sent an army to the north to support him, not to mention that he himself did not go. Even the elite tyrant bear army did not send out, which made Rodke quite dissatisfied."
"Tangriou was there in the past, and the emperor's reputation is enough to suppress any uneasy thoughts." Allen sighed: "It's a pity that he is no longer there, and the two princes, whether Hausen or Julian, are not enough to convince him. Everyone. Julian has Hoy and Elizabeth insisting, and his reputation is relatively better. But Howson rushes for quick success and quick profit, he drove the Bolling family out, so that he was greatly disappointed, let alone hope that he can suppress other voices. As for Rodke , He has always been just an imperial marshal, at this time Arkham has the ability not to buy his account."
"I hope that Mason's presence can restore the imperial domination. The empire must first fight inside before it can settle down. When the time comes, a full counterattack will not be able to repel the Shadow Principality." Allen said: "At first, I was worried about choosing here. Going to the cemetery of the Blood King will be very troublesome for you, but in this situation, at least for a short time, our territory should not be affected by war. Then I will feel a little relieved."
Lucy nodded and said: "The Bucks on the unicorn collar are still garrisoned, and Midian has no plans to leave. Whether it's the strong or the army, it shouldn't be a problem to defend this line of defense. I won't stop it. You go to the cemetery of the Blood King, but I still suggest that you take white with him. He looks like a fourteen or five-year-old boy, but he is more like a child in his mind. If you let him know that you don’t take him in the cemetery, I I bet he must be sad."
"Okay, okay, I will listen to you."
"Then it's settled, I'll call Bai back."
In the afternoon, after Bai returned to the hotel, he quietly left with Allen. The two did not disturb the others, put on the hooded cloak Lucy prepared for them, brought enough dry food and water, and left the Dawning Castle like two ordinary adventurers. Allen left this time without saying goodbye to too many people. When people like Father Miró and Vera came to the hall after hearing the news, Allen had already left, and they were a little bit embarrassed. Lucy simply left them. Anyway, everyone hasn't been together for a long time, and it is necessary to let others know what Alan has experienced on earth so that he can plan for the future.
A small dinner was held in the hotel that night, and the protagonist of the banquet was naturally the core personnel like priests. While enjoying the rich and delicious food at the dinner, Edward recounted Allen’s experience of returning to Earth in a calm tone. From the time they arrived on Earth, they talked about returning to the heaven star, and General Mirren returned to the interstellar defense line. until.
The dinner party lasted for three hours, and by the end, everyone knew the ins and outs of the matter. Everyone was angry when they heard that Allen had been privately detained by the Federation for experimentation. Especially Willick, who knocked down the corner of the table with one punch. And after hearing that Horn may have passed away, everyone was even more emotional. During the whole process, Lucy didn't say a word, only the change in her eyes could slightly tell her mixed feelings at this moment.
After Edward told the whole story, Lucy asked: "You said they called Alan the Son of the Twilight?"
"Well, do you know anything about this title?"
Lucy closed her eyes, as if thinking about something, and then whispered softly after a moment: "Remember, I have seen this term in the Royal Library. However, there are not many related records of the Twilight Son. I have only seen this word, and the relevant information is classified even in Idahuaxing."
"Confidential?" Edward used a silver spoon to gently prop up the corn soup in the bowl: "This is weird. If the information related to the Twilight Son is also classified on Idahua, how does the Federation know? Yes. If it weren’t for what they found themselves, then Son of Twilight was a third party who had leaked it to the Federation. I boldly make a hypothesis, if the third party is Ida Huaxing..."
Lucy stood up suddenly: "Then your plan may not have been delayed for that long."
