Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 917 Ending 16 The encounter before departure

The brave men in the academy finally know what kind of enemy they will face in the end.

The fear brought by the egg of the gods quickly spread to the entire academy.The god of the celestial beings is about to be born, and if it cannot be stopped, all humans will be dominated by it.

There is no absolute chance of winning this battle, and the academy and the Golden Capital cannot guarantee that everyone can come back alive from this battle... So many people have the idea of ​​​​retreating for the first time.

"If you are unwilling to participate in this battle, please leave from the main entrance of the academy within one day. After that, the Golden City will be responsible for ensuring your life safety."

The academy does not force everyone to participate in this battle. If someone wants to withdraw, the Golden City will be responsible for freezing and containing them.So when the first person officially walked out of the academy, the heavy fear quickly found a way to vent, leaving with all the people who had lost their courage due to the presence of gods.

In the end, only one-tenth of the original number of people who were still in the academy after the one-day consideration period was over.

"After all, not everyone dares to risk their lives to challenge an invincible opponent. Besides, there is an option to escape this time... and the so-called brave is just a nicer name after all."

After counting the people left behind, the dean of the college, Shi Ya, was not angry about this, but calmly expressed his feelings.

"Even if everyone tries their best, this battle may end in failure. But since you have chosen to stay, be prepared to die."

Although the Golden City is already undergoing emergency modifications to the academy's body, this is actually nothing more than a consolation better than nothing.No one really expected any qualitative leap in the academy's combat effectiveness in the two days before the official departure.

And the egg of the gods, which is accelerating to absorb the power of the planet, contains power that has even exceeded the scale of the Golden City.No one knows how to destroy the egg core before it emerges, and even Lauren, who proposed this battle plan, is not sure of victory.

"So, I can only wish you good luck."

=====
The night before departure.

The modification of the academy body in the Golden Capital has been completed, and the academy's buildings have already been integrated into the ship's hull.The entire academy has now completely restored to the form of an assault warship. As long as the Golden Capital issues an official order to sail, it can launch an attack on the enemy that is eroding the planet.

However, at this time, as the real main attacker, Luo Lun did not choose to rest.

"What's going on? Why did you come to me again? Even if you don't need to sleep, you should stay with those two people, right?"

"It's hard to say...can I sit here for a while?"

Although I don't know why Luo Lun came to the dean's office at this time, Shi Ya, who also had no rest, welcomed him into the room.

"Is there something important you want to tell me? Or are you planning to use this time to do something to me?"

Shiya's provocation sounded explicit and ambiguous, but Luo Lun just sighed silently, and then buried his entire body into the soft sofa.Shiya also sat opposite him very freely, as if she didn't care about the strange words she just said.

"... It's really selfish to do that."

"Are you thinking about other people's feelings again?"

Shi Ya had already guessed what Luo Lun was thinking.Although he did not choose to take all the responsibility alone this time, if so many people risked their lives to take risks with him, he would definitely feel a strong sense of guilt in his heart.

"Do I need to repeat my opinion again? That planet is originally the home of all humans, so of course we as humans have the obligation to fight against the parasites who want to plunder it."

"Of course I know, but..."

"And how different are you from humans now that you have lost the Star Sword and Star Heart? So stop looking down on others. Of course we can do what you can do, and we can even do it better than you."

Such irrefutable words made Lauren feel that maybe he was really sentimental.Human beings don't need to be blessed. Of course, they also have the power to fight, and they don't risk their lives just to help the Star Children.

"Speaking of which, has the eldest lady been by your side these days? When did your relationship become so good?"

"Hmph, do you know why she changes her self-identity frequently?"

"Is it because she is composed of three wills?"

Although Luo Lun had reached a reconciliation with the Golden Capital before, he still didn't understand why he had to fight that inexplicable battle, and Shi Ya seemed to know the answer to this question.

"Three different branches, of course, form different personalities, the golden queen, the human hero, and the eldest lady you are familiar with. Although the three of them share memories and emotions, their ways of thinking are completely different."

"It seems that I only understand one-third of her now."

"Oh, so you're still a long way off."

Shi Ya's tone sounded a little strange, but Luo Lun didn't want to delve into it now.The Golden Capital is not an existence similar to humans, so we cannot use common sense to judge her thoughts.

"Speaking of which, you said before that you were trying to master the power of those two people, right?"

"Uh...yeah. After losing the Star Sword and Star Heart, I am just an empty shell that can be compatible with various things. So as long as I can have sufficient contact and communication with them, I can slowly master those The fundamental nature and workings of power, and ultimately turning them to one’s own use.”

"Full... contact and communication? Hey, do you mean..."

Shi Ya, who seemed to have guessed something, couldn't help but have a strange expression on her face.Laurent nodded silently and awkwardly, acquiescing to the answer she had in mind.

"You guy, if you let others know that you are just hanging out with them these days... Bah, you are such a shameless bastard."

"I'm sorry, but this is... the only thing I can do now."

In order to gain the strength to fight, Laurent, who has given up many things, can only do what he can now.So besides putting on a look of disgust, Shi Ya didn't really accuse him of anything.

After all, who wins the battle in the end depends on his performance.

"But... is it to gain strength?"

"It's really getting late... I'm sorry to bother you so late, so I'll go back first."

"Wait a mininute."

Luo Lun, who seemed to have no intention of continuing the chat, slowly stood up after apologizing to Shi Ya.However, before he could take a step forward, Shi Ya, who was thinking about something with her head slightly lowered, suddenly stopped him.

"Don't you have anything else to say? For example...'Please lend me your power' or something like that?"

"..."

This is not provocation or ridicule at all, nor can it even be called a hint.Shiya clearly expressed her thoughts to him who was still hesitating, and was willing to devote her strength to his battle.

But Laurent still failed to make a selfish choice.

"Didn't you already give me the 'Silver Engraved Needle'? That is enough for me now. Let's talk about other things after this battle is over."

Not daring to look at Shi Ya's face anymore, Luo Lun quickly walked to the door of the office as if he wanted to escape.But before leaving the room, he paused briefly——

"...This time, please use your own power to protect those who are fighting with us."

Whether these guilty words are a sign or a curse, no one can know now.

And no one could see the two lines of clear tears that quietly crossed the witch's face.
