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

And the Lani sitting on it, although still alive, is almost the same size as the doll in the original game.

And unlike the doll, the peaks on the chest seem to have begun to take shape, at least enough to hold up the magician's robe.

The most important thing is that Lani should still be in the growth stage now, right?

In other words, what is the future?

"...Are you thinking of something rude?"

The sudden inquiry interrupted his random thoughts, and he quickly waved his hand and said: "No, Your Highness, this is your illusion."

"..."

Hearing this, Lani looked at him deeply and did not pursue further.

He adjusted his sitting posture slightly, returned to his elegant posture, and said: "... Previously at the royal family's moon viewing area, you commented on the full moon that the royal family admired——

The flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water are beautiful, but in the end they are just illusions..."

"That's just nonsense on my whim. Please don't take it to heart, Your Highness Lani."

Before Lani could finish speaking, he interrupted.

But Lani also denied it: "No, I think what you said makes sense... Indeed, the full moon that our mother led many royal family members to watch in the past was not an illusion... but all this has become a thing of the past."

From the moment Kaliya and the Golden Tree were married, their fates had been bound, and everything about them had become illusory.

"As you said, our full moon... no, the stars and the moon are at the end of their power... I want to ask, what do you think about this?"

"...Unfortunately, not really. All we can do is keep moving forward." Reinhardt shook his head and replied without thinking.

However, he also found that there seemed to be some problems with his statement, so he sorted it out a little and added: "Your Highness Lani, I think it is unrealistic to always be obsessed with the glory of the past and try to restore the years that have passed."

“The past is stuck in history, like quicksand.”

"I would like to ask, Your Highness Lani, can you use your hands to hold back the gravel that slipped through the gaps between your fingertips?"

As he spoke, Reinhard made a deliberate move to hold the gravel with both hands, as if there was really quicksand disappearing inside.

Looking at his movements, Lani thought carefully and came to her conclusion: "You mean...submit?"

"No, not really. At least I will definitely resist." Reinhardt shrugged and said helplessly.

Let’s not talk about the issue of him being a time traveler. Even if he is not a time traveler, he is not the kind of character that accepts everything.

I will definitely try my best to get him involved.

"...revolt for the future?"

Lani thought silently, smiled lightly, and asked with interest: "...What would you do if it were you?"

"Me?" Reinhardt was stunned for a moment when he was asked, but he quickly came to his senses and smiled: "Of course I know the answer Her Royal Highness wants, but I want to tell it according to my own ideas."

"...Can."

"I don't have lofty ambitions like Her Highness Lani, and I'm not a person in a high position. I don't know the cold and the heat.... So, if it were me, the approach would be very simple -"

"I just want to live well without any coercion, live in this land called the Junction, I don't allow anyone to dictate my fate, and live well with my teacher Se Lian, that's all."

Transit skirt.ㅡ五五五⑨五㈢5

Having said this, Reinhardt's eyes have become sharp. He seems to be looking at Lani, but in fact, his eyes have already passed through the magic tower and through the mountains, looking at the huge star located on the Yatan Plateau. golden tree.

For him, the biggest threat now is the golden tree.

However, these words also made him feel funny.

Only on your own, talking about destiny and freedom under the constraints of the Golden Law?It's a bit sad.

Even if he waits for the magic ring to be broken later, everything is already destined, whether it is him, the returning faded ones, or the fragmented kings who possess the big runes.

They are all just pawns on a chessboard.

And if a god like Michaela, who is closest to Malika, tries to become a chess player, he will fail, let alone a mere pyroxene magician like him.

It can be said to be difficult, but it is not hopeless, but the road is too difficult.

Just like the princess in front of her, she is the most successful of all, but she also paid a heavy price for it.

Not only did they lose their bodies, but Blaze and Iggy also passed away.

"Oh? You said you are the disciple of the witch Se Lian? It's really a bit surprising... I didn't expect that she could teach an outstanding disciple like you."

Lani's voice was filled with emotion, as if she was recalling the past.

Regarding the witch Serian, although she has not met her directly, she has heard many stories about her deeds, such as rumors about the talented women in the history of the magic academy.

Moreover, her mother also praised Serian as a magician, saying that he had the best chance of becoming a master like Azler and Lusett.

But there is always some worry, fearing that Se Lian will go astray.

However, sighing with emotion, Lani once again changed the topic back to before: "...To control one's own destiny and live freely, I like this ideal very much and it is very simple, but it is also the most difficult to realize."

Even a god like her can't disobey...

Thinking of this, Lani's eyes dimmed a little and she slowly lowered her head.

It can be said that no one in the entire border yearns for freedom more than she does. Even though she is still very young, her heart has never changed.

I want to travel in the starry sky, I want to leave the border area and see other places, not controlled by two fingers, not at the mercy of fate...

At this point, she slowly raised her head, looked at Reinhardt and asked: "...Reinhardt, how do you think we can truly gain freedom under the constraints of this law?"

"You mean the Golden Law?"

He looked out of Lani's eyes and saw the faint golden glow, and blurted out subconsciously.

But Lani shook her head, "No, all laws are the same. Let others follow the rules and do everything according to their own requirements. All living beings are like puppets that have lost their souls..."

Her tone was solemn and serious, but she stopped abruptly and waved her hands: "I'm sorry, I made a few mistakes today..."

"I'm a little tired too, please leave first."

46.False peace

Hearing Lani's farewell words and this strange behavior, although he was a little curious, he did not inquire further.

Following the instructions of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I left the magic tower.

Seeing his disappeared figure, Lani couldn't help but sigh.

She did talk a little too much today.

It seemed that he had met a like-minded companion, or perhaps a being with similar laws, so he accidentally spoke out what was on his mind.

What a mistake...

"...But is this also fate?"

Lani stared out the window in a daze at the starry sky where she could no longer observe any destiny.

The relationship between the dark moon and the sun seems a bit intriguing.

At least when it resonated with her before, she couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

...

The golden tree once again illuminated the junction, and the light of the stars in the sky was obscured by the golden glow. Only the full moon remained fixed in the sky as usual.

Although it is equally dim, it can still be seen clearly.

However, the interior of the Kaliya Walled City was still as dark as usual, relying on the light of candles and pyroxene, like a gloomy haunted house.

However, at this time, Reinhard was sitting on the city wall teasing a fingerworm below.

He has been living in the walled city for nearly half a month.

Both he is familiar with and understands the fingerworms and the fingerworms.

At the same time, I seem to understand why Brother Wolf said these little guys were cute in the first place. It was indeed so interesting.

In addition to its unbearable appearance, its personality is relatively docile, just like a domesticated dog, which can relieve boredom when it is bored.

like now.

Reinhardt casually took out a medium-sized stone from the corridor next to it, and then threw it out with all his strength.

The fingerworm lingering below immediately swooped out and rushed into the grass where the stone disappeared. After a while, he brought the stone back, climbed up the city wall, and placed it carefully next to him.

Then he prostrated on the city wall as if asking for credit, trembling slightly.

Reinhard also understood it and reached out to touch the finger of this "little guy" as a reward.

The fingerworm also happily walked around the city wall a few times before returning to its position to lurk.

How can I put it... If you don't look at it, it really looks like a dog.

In terms of behavior and habits, except for its ugly appearance and ability to climb walls and bury its prey in ambush, it is basically the same as a dog.

It's so cuddly, and you'll feel happy if you play with it casually.

But who would have thought that this group of unique-looking little things, before being domesticated, would compete with other creatures for survival territory at the top of the flames of the Giant Snow Mountain with the huge group of mountain monsters.

I have to say that the Kalians really have their own tricks.

Thinking of this, Reinhard couldn't help but laugh a little.

However, such a comfortable life did not corrupt him, nor did it make him forget the purpose of his trip——

Find the location of Biddy, the servant who calls himself Servais.

But it is a pity that until now, he has not visited the entire walled city, and there are still many places that he cannot go to, probably -

You have not obtained permission yet, please come back to explore in the future.

In addition, he also specifically asked familiar people to find out that there was indeed such a person in the Kaliya Walled City.

But no one knows the whereabouts of the guy named Biddy. It is said that he is like a ghost, wandering around the Kaliya Walled City with no fixed address, and can only rely on luck.

What kind of lucky businessman is this? It's really nonsense.

Just as he was complaining about this damn Biddy in his heart, Blaze's shout suddenly came from below.

"Rhine, it's time to get to work. Meet in front of the walled city."

"Oh, come right now!"
