People are at the junction, but they become the incarnation of the sun

Golden fat overflowed from the barbecue and dripped into the fire, making a sizzling sound.

"Well, it tastes good and it was a success."

Smelling the aroma of the barbecue, Reinhard nodded with satisfaction, picked up the wine bottle placed aside, took a big gulp, and then tore off a piece of meat and ate it silently alone.

It's not that he is unsociable, nor is it that the Holy Tree Army intends to isolate him.

Both veteran O'Neal and Finlay came to invite him on behalf of Marlenia, but he politely declined.

This was the celebration banquet of the Holy Tree Army. Although he was the biggest hero in this war, he had no intention of disturbing it.

Because he knows that even without his presence, it is only a matter of time before the Holy Tree Army breaks through Stonewell City, and he is just doing a favor to facilitate the situation.

As for Teacher Se Lian, she didn't like this noisy environment, so she dealt with it randomly and then returned to the camp to continue her research on pyroxene.

And Lance Sanks didn't know why he was not in a high mood. He drank two glasses of wine casually and then returned to the camp to sleep.

Reinhard was the only one sitting outside, enjoying the food and wine, and admiring the twilight scene at the junction.

The sky was getting dark, and the red clouds hung high in the sky. I don't know whether it was because of Malika's passing or the breakage of Elden's ring. The sun that had been hidden gradually revealed its appearance.

As for Reinhardt, who was looking up at the horizon, his heart slowly became silent.

"It's such a rare peace..."

Reinhardt was in a daze.

When was the last time you were this alone?

He had forgotten it. It was probably when he set off from the Magic Academy to Calia, right?Even though Teacher Tops was with me at that time, it was a rare moment of peace.

However, many years passed in a flash.

Everything has changed, and although the journey has not been turbulent, it has not been very smooth either.

From a small magic apprentice, he became a magician in Razli's classroom, then joined Calia to usher in the Star-Moon War, and became a knight serving [Moon Princess] Lani.

Later, he followed Her Royal Highness Lani to King Rodel, met many people, and even reached a cooperative relationship with Malika.

Now he has witnessed the Shattered War with his own eyes, saved Mikaela, helped Marlenia defeat Greg, and is preparing to leave for Galede for the final battle...

All of this is like a dream, it feels like a dream but not so real.

From a small magic apprentice to a strong man who can rival demigods and even gods, he would never have dared to do this in his dreams before.

"Alas, time is really like fine sand passing through your fingertips. You can't control it at all..."

Looking up at the huge moon in the sky, Reinhard couldn't help but sigh.

As the saying goes, once people calm down, they will start to think wildly.

Reinhardt was like this at this time.

He was a little worried and curious. What would happen to him after all the dust settled?

Will you live a carefree life with the one you love and the one who loves you?

Traveling outside the border together?

Or, will we be caught in the flames of war again?

Or, fighting for the border area?

Or live a secluded life?

He doesn't know, but if possible, he hopes to go outside the junction, and take Teacher Serian, Lance Sanks, Feiya and Lani with him to walk outside and experience the outside of the junction. scenery.

"...Yes, nothing in this world is eternal, and who can restore the passage of time?"

Suddenly, a gentle yet majestic voice interrupted his thoughts.

Moreover, this sound also attracted the attention of Marlenia, who was dealing with military affairs in the military camp. She suddenly stopped writing, put down the quill in her hand, and turned her head to look at the side of the camp.

Her eyes seemed to be looking through the tent into the distance.

It happened that at this time, Finley walked in with drinks and food. He saw Malenia looking at the curtain on one side in a daze. She asked with some worry:

"Lady Marlenia, what happened?"

"....nothing."

Malenia, who came back to her senses, shook her head, "Finley, why did you come to me so late?"

"It's like this, Lady Marlenia, you haven't slept a wink since the attack on Stonewell City, and there's no fighting situation now, so I hope you can have a good rest tonight."

"..."

Marlenia did not speak, but looked at the wine and barbecue in Finlay's hand. After thinking for a moment, she nodded, "Well, leave it here. Thank you for your hard work, Finlay."

"No, Lady Marlenia, this is what my subordinates should do."

Finlay placed the tray on the table respectfully, and with Marlenia's nod, she turned and left the main camp tent.

Marlenia picked up the wine glass on the tray and took a sip, then threw the realization to the tent on one side and murmured to herself:

"...Are you here for Reinhardt? Or...for Latarn?"

Marlenia narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes gradually becoming evil.

At the same time, not far from the military camp, on a towering rock outside Shuihuan Village.

The clear and quiet moonlight fell from the sky and reflected on the top of the rock. You could clearly see a petite figure sitting on it.

She wore a wide-brimmed witch hat, a heavy cloak, and an off-white dress that outlined her slender figure. However, her short blue hair was slightly messy, adding a touch of wild beauty to her quiet appearance.

His skin was dark blue, and his face was as delicate as a work of art. His right eye painted with magic patterns was closed, and his azure left eye looked downwards. The pupils seemed to be shining with the brilliance of stars and the full moon.

But there was a bit more nostalgia in that peace.

"...Long time no see, my knight, Reinhardt."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on the spirit body exposed on one side of the petite figure.

"Long time no see, Your Highness Lani."

When Reinhard saw this figure, he quickly got up and knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said greetings.

To be honest, Lani's sudden appearance really shocked him.

But sure enough, the doll body that Lani chose after giving up her body was still like this.

Although the doll's body has become petite, it is still full of majesty, just like a vampire that has lived for 500 years and still hasn't grown up.

This was not surprising to him. What surprised him was that Lani actually appeared here to see him at this time.

He obviously didn't show up for so long, which made him a little confused about what Lani wanted to do.

However, his direct answer also surprised Lani a little.

"Get up, there is no need to be polite to my knight here." Lani smiled and stretched out her hand to signal him to get up, "But can you tell me how you knew this was me?"

Lani's question was like a tongue twister, but Reinhardt still understood it and replied: "It's very simple, because your outfit has not changed, the off-white dress, the wide witch hat, and the same dress as you once had." An identical fur cloak sewn by myself for Blaze."

Speaking of this, Reinhard's tone was a bit sour. He had obviously been fighting for Lani for so many years, and he had been blamed for it, but he had gotten away with it.

But the sourness was not revealed by him, and he continued: "The most important thing is that the temperament of you has not changed, and the unique aura of Dark Moon has never changed."

"...yes?"

His answer made Lani very happy, "Sure enough, you are far smarter than Blaze..."

When she appeared in front of Blaze after fitting the doll's body, Blaze was shocked and sternly asked her who she was and why she was wearing Lani's clothes.

It made her quite angry at the time.

But I didn't expect that Reinhardt would be recognized at a glance.

As everyone knows, the things mentioned above were all made up by Reinhardt. He was most impressed by Lani's four-handed Overlord Curse Blue posture.

"Oh, it's a pity..."

"Unfortunately?"

He was immediately confused by La Ni's sudden turn of events, and he saw a somewhat sad expression on La Ni's spirit body.

But this sad look disappeared in an instant. Lani returned to normal again, her hands folded on her thighs, the fingertips of the other two hands slowly touching, she shook her head and said, "No, it's nothing."

"Tsk, Lani, you have changed. You are no longer the Lani who told me everything before."

Reinhardt complained silently in his heart after hearing this.

In the past, no matter what happened to Kalia, he always told himself, but now he started to be secretive and refused to tell himself anything.

What happened all of a sudden?

Lani naturally noticed his mood swings and understood the reasons, but she didn't want to say this. Instead, she said:

"My knight, although I have no right to interfere with your current actions, I want to know about your actions this time. Can you tell me?"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but during this meeting, Lani's tone of voice seemed to have changed a lot when she spoke to him, and she seemed to be a little more requesting.

But he didn't care that much, nodded and said: "Of course, the main purpose of going to Galed this time is to accompany my teacher to the magic town of Celia..."

"Selia? Is it for Lusette?" Before he could finish speaking, Lani interrupted.

Although there was no expression on the doll's face, it could still be heard that Lani was nervous about it.

As soon as she heard that Ser Lian was going to Celia, the name Luset popped into her mind.

Luset is the teacher of the witch Ser Lian, and is one of the two mainstays of the Origin Sect. Now Ser Lian's purpose of going to Ceria should not be too obvious.

Reinhard did not hide this, and nodded and admitted, "Yes, that's right, Teacher Serian wants to find Master Luset."

"But please be patient, Your Highness Lani."

"Now Teacher Serian, after studying Master Weihele's notes, has found a completely different path from becoming a magician ball, and Teacher Serian has also promised me that he will give up the original path regardless of success or failure. So you don’t have to worry.”

"...is it credible?"

Even so, Lani was still a little worried and asked dubiously.

She was more worried about her knight than the witch Ser Lian. After all, she owed Reinhard too much.

"I believe in my teacher." Reinhard's tone was very firm, "And Teacher Serian is facing the same problem as you."

"Tell me."

Lani sat up slightly, curious about what Reinhardt said.
