Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 659 The misty past
"Really, she asked you such a question."

The next day, Lauren worked with the store manager again.Although it is unlikely that any customers will visit, the store manager has no plans to close the store.

Although it is speculated that the store manager may actually be able to compete with the legendary brave, until now, Lauren has not found any substantial evidence.The store manager usually just has the quiet look of a literary girl, and doesn't show any abnormal behavior at all.

"What do you think about yourself?"

"I...I don't know either."

I don't know what decision to make, or what the right answer is.No matter what choices you make, your current relationships may be irreversibly changed.

Lauren didn't want to change the status quo so soon.

"Then think again, because you still have time."

Yes, I still have plenty of time.Although the brave students will officially start their new lives soon, those girls will still come here to look for opportunities to rest, and I only need to find the answer at that time.

"Actually, I have something else to ask...about Effie."

That girl is too mysterious. Even if you try to explore her secrets, she will downplay and avoid them in every possible way.Luo Lun was really unbearably curious, so he placed the breakthrough point with the store manager.

"If you want to know about her, you should explore it yourself."

"...I feel like I don't have that ability anymore."

"It's okay. I'll make an exception this time and answer a few questions for you."

However, the store manager did not reject Lauren's curiosity, which made Lauren not know how to ask the question.Asking about one's life experience is a bit too in-depth, and exploring one's preferences is a waste of opportunity.After hesitating for a long time, Luo Lun didn't think about what he should ask.

"Don't know what to ask? Then let me tell you a story."

"A story...?"

“But it’s not strictly her story, it’s another person’s.”

Will another person's story be related to Effie?Lauren was a little confused, but her curiosity quickly suppressed these thoughts.

"That is a story belonging to a certain, rare genius."

The store manager closed the book in his hand and began to tell a story about someone in a calm and ethereal voice.

"In an era when the world did not have such order, that person was born in an ordinary world. Although she was born ordinary, she was favored by the world since she was a child."

A gifted little girl began to grow rapidly with the blessing of the world, because she could easily understand everything in the world, and the difficulties that would become obstacles for ordinary people were not worth mentioning to her.

"But that too-smooth life made her confused."

She doesn't know what else she needs to do. She can get what she wants as she pleases, and her wishes can be realized without any trouble.When she reached almost omnipotence in that world, she began to question the meaning of her existence.

"This kind of life is really too boring."

So she left her own world and began to travel to other worlds as an adventurer.Sometimes she helps others, sometimes she hurts others. She doesn't have much sense of morality as a human being, but she always feels that her soul is still empty.

"She didn't know what she wanted or what else could interest her."

She continued to travel from world to world, meeting all kinds of human beings but nothing special about them.Boredom began to set in, and a sense of emptiness once again occupied her soul.

"She is so special, and these cookie-cutter worlds simply cannot satisfy her desires."

And at that time, the crisis sweeping all the worlds suddenly broke out.

The endless desires of greedy humans were collected by an abnormal human being.That person wanted to use this power to construct a true god, but what he ultimately created was human evil that was enough to destroy the entire world.

"The world-destroying beast that incorporated countless final powers was born, but she suddenly felt a hint of joy."

Yes, this is the development she expected.Everything that mankind depends on for its survival has collapsed, and no matter how hard mankind fights, it cannot resist the invasion of the beast of the end.

"She knew that was the object that could satisfy her emptiness, so she decided to have a showdown with that existence."

However, just as she was heading towards the finish line, a strange person suddenly stopped her.

"The man told her that she was the one responsible for destroying that thing, but she didn't think so."

So the two had a dispute, but she, who had never experienced defeat, found for the first time that she could not win - there was no real defeat, but she could not find any possibility of victory.

"After constant infighting, the man made her an offer."

Since the two sides never give in to each other, it would be better to just go fight the enemy of the world together.

She had never imagined such a possibility, and the offer was alluring to her.So she finally agreed to go side by side with that man to save the world from crisis.

"In order to find the most suitable method, the two experienced countless adventures in many worlds. They met many special people and found many beautiful things that she had never seen before."

But the most important thing is that she found that her empty heart had been filled by that person at some point.

What kind of emotion is that, she who knows everything is not ignorant.But she was proud and unwilling to admit such a result. Although she was still walking side by side with that person, she was also thinking about how to respond to her emotions.

"Finally, the time has come for the decisive battle."

The two people who already stood at the top of many worlds used close cooperation to easily repel the offensive of the enemies of the world.However, just when she thought she had a chance to win, the person next to her told her a cruel answer.

"Because that person was created to solve this problem. Once the enemy of the world is completely eliminated, that person will also disappear."

An unacceptable ending.

She immediately started to prevent that from happening, but the outcome was irreversible.The enemies of the world collapsed and were destroyed, and that person also burned everything at the same time, and finally disappeared into nothingness.

"This is not the result she wanted, but her power cannot reverse the fate that has been doomed."

Everyone regards her as a hero, but almost no one remembers the name of the person who walked side by side with her.She finally became angry at those praises that only mentioned her.

"'Saving the world will be left to specialized people from now on.'"

After that, she chose to abandon her identity as an adventurer and began to collect and train young people who could continue to save the world and would be honored as "braves" in the future.

"Her name is Ophelia Saifal, the first dean of the Academy of the Brave."

The story ended here, but Laurent did not immediately understand the relevance of this story to his question.However, after thinking for a moment, he immediately came up with an incredibly shocking answer.

"Could it be that... Effie actually has something to do with the legendary dean?"

"This is just a story, the rest is up to your imagination."

There is no evidence or any reliability.This might just be a story told on a whim by the store manager.

However, Laurent could not deny the possibility that was illusory but seemed to exist.

　According to the statistics of the first and second rounds, the result is currently 3:4, so I tentatively wrote a related paragraph... I can't tell it at ordinary times, but I didn't expect this person to be so popular.
