We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

Once you have lost something, you will know how to cherish it more.

For people like An Bing who have lost their country, they can see the old [Great Yan Kingdom] again and live in it as before.

How could she not be touched by it?

Human beings are such a creature.

Sometimes even though we know it is an illusion or an illusion, we still cannot help but get immersed in it.

However, in order to prevent Dark Ice from evolving into a situation of "What's wrong with the world of illusion?", Xia En still reminded him.

"Ms. Dark Ice, please don't forget, this is just a memory scene reappeared by [Great Flame]."

"Dreams will wake up..."

"Don't worry, I can't tell the difference between memory and reality, I just feel a little nostalgic."

An Bing sighed softly: "And you are right, dreams will wake up."

"All this will turn into nothing with the awakening of [Great Flame]."

Hearing what An Bing said, Xia En relaxed a little.

Then, he changed the subject and said, "Do you have any clues about that key node?"

Although the [Great Yan Kingdom] seems to be full of flowers and lively at the moment, Xia En knows very well that he is not here to be a historical tourist.

Eliminating those five key nodes and completely destroying [Great Flame] is the purpose of their trip.

When it came to business, An Bing also restrained the sentimentality just now, straightened his expression and said.

"[Fire] has no response for the time being, and the range it can detect key nodes should be limited."

“Feedback is only given once we get close enough.”

"I see."

Shane looked surprised.

Strictly speaking, [Fire] is like a radar that can search for key nodes.

It's just that the range of this radar cannot cover the entire Fanyan City.

Xia En and others need to take the initiative to search.

At this time, An Bing added.

"However, I also have a rough guess as to where the key nodes may exist."

Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Please speak."

"If I guess correctly, the so-called node of [Great Yan] is probably the obsession of the people of Great Yan."

"So, it is very likely that it is located in a place that they highly identify with or value."

"For example... the palace of [Great Yan Kingdom]!"

Hearing this, Xia En's heart moved.

He had not thought carefully about the relationship between key nodes and [Great Yan Kingdom] before.

But now after listening to An Bing's words, I found that this might indeed be the case.

However, there was one more thing that made Xia En a little curious.

That is——

In what specific form will this node appear?

Is it a thing, a person, or some other indescribable existence?

However, I am afraid that this problem can only be known by seeing the node in person.

After gathering his thoughts, Xia En asked.

"So, shall we go directly to the palace now?"

An Bing shook his head: "I'm afraid not. In fact, I went to survey the area around the palace before."

"Right now, it's the eve of King Xin's wedding, and the guards around the palace are extremely tight."

"There are even several legendary-level auras patrolling the area."

"Whether it is sneaking in or forcing a breakthrough, it is unrealistic. We must find other ways."

"legend……"

Hearing this, Xia En couldn't help but frown.

In the past [Great Yan Kingdom], there were naturally legendary level experts.

But Xia En didn't expect that these people would also be recreated by [Great Flame].

If you think about it carefully, the power and realm of [Great Flame] are far beyond those of ordinary legends, and the remnant souls of these legendary powerful people are used as raw materials.

It is not that difficult to simulate what they looked like in history.

on the other hand.

[Great Yan] only does not allow outsiders of the legendary secret path to enter.

There is a legendary realm in his body, which is a normal phenomenon.

Even the legendary strong men he reappeared were weaker than those in history.

But for Xia En and others, this is still an insurmountable chasm.

It can be said that from the beginning, this was not an equal battle.

"This is going to be difficult."

Shane muttered to himself.

This combat uniform may be able to hide from the perception of ordinary mystics.

But it is undoubtedly a fantasy to sneak into the palace in front of the legendary strong man.

As for a head-on confrontation with a legendary powerhouse?

Still in his old nest in Dayan Palace?

Even Xia En felt this was too reckless.

However, Xia En looked at An Bing's expression and found that she was not nervous or anxious, but felt confident.

Xia En's heart moved and he asked.

"Ms. An Bing, have you already thought of a way?"

"That's right."

An Bing admitted frankly.

"Since we can't sneak in and attack by force, we have no choice but to walk into the palace openly."

"……ah?"

Upon hearing this, Xia En was stunned for a moment.

"What's the meaning?"

"Wait, do you mean..."

Just when Xia En vaguely guessed something.

Ringing——

A clear and sweet sound came from the wind chime at the door of the coffee shop, and the door was pushed open.

A girl walked in from the door.

"Boss! As usual, a cup of Earl's Mountain black tea and your best freshly baked cranberry biscuits."

"Okay!"

This girl was obviously a regular visitor to the coffee shop, and the female owner in a purple dress greeted her warmly.

"But Xiaobing, your position today..."

The girl turned her head and saw Xia En and the two of them not far away, and was suddenly surprised.

After hesitating for a moment, she walked towards the two of them.

at the same time.

Xia En's heart also caused quite a stir.

He was extremely familiar with this girl's appearance.

Because...this is surprisingly An Bing who is several years younger!

Compared to the An Bing he knew.

The person in front of me is clearly still a girl in her prime, more innocent and lively, giving people a youthful feeling.

He doesn't have that indifferent temperament.

In terms of charm, perhaps the princess version of An Bing, which is now fully bloomed, mature, noble and elegant, and has a touch of young womanliness, is even better.

But when anyone sees such a young and cheerful girl.

I'm afraid they will all have the feeling that "the corpse spots have faded".

The moment he saw the girl, Xia En understood what An Bing's plan was.

"you……"

Before Xia En could speak, the girl An Bing had already walked up to the two of them.

Looking at the coffee on the table, she sniffed and said in surprise.

"Huh? Is it also Earl Mountain black tea?"

"You have great taste!"

The girl An Bing smiled and looked at the hooded An Bing sitting on the seat.

"I thought not many people knew about this treasure shop!"

“I don’t usually have many customers, but I didn’t expect to meet someone who likes to drink Earl’s Mountain black tea here as much as I do today.”

"Even the seats we want to sit in are the same. We are really destined..."

Xia En's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.

Isn't it fate?

You two are basically the same person!

However, Xia En also knew that the girl An Bing in front of him was not her in real history.

It is just an existence born from the cognition and memory of [Great Flame].

Even because the real An Bing did not die in the disaster, he lacked the remaining soul after death.

Her behavior patterns and personality will also deviate from the original body to a certain extent.

Xia En glanced at An Bing beside him and didn't say anything.

In his opinion, this is An Bing's own private matter after all.

No matter what An Bing plans to do to the An Bing in front of her, it should be her own decision.

The silence didn't last long.

Seeing that the two of them didn't reply, the girl An Bing was not discouraged, but said with slightly red cheeks and a little shyness.

"Actually...I'm getting married tomorrow."

“I don’t know if I will have another chance to come to this cafe in the future, so I want to have one last coffee at this old location.”

"Can you two please make it easier?

As soon as these words came out, the first person to react was the owner of the coffee shop not far away.

"What? Xiaobing, are you getting married?"

"When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me first?"

The girl An Bing was a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, it's because my situation is quite special." "

"It's a marriage contract made in the family."

"To this day, I haven't met my fiancé yet!"

"Huh? It's too much for such a thing to happen."

The female boss looked filled with indignation: "Aren't you taking your marriage as a trivial matter?"

"What if that fiancé turns out to be some idle prodigal? Wouldn't your whole life be ruined?"

The girl An Bing whispered: "It shouldn't be possible, right?"

"Everyone says that my fiancé is an upright and good man."

"Even enemies will show admiration when his name is mentioned."

The coffee shop owner shook his head disapprovingly.

"Hearsay is unreliable. Who knows if others are saying good things for him?"

"To take a step back, even if these news are true."

"Marriage is not about a man's strength, but whether he treats his wife well and whether he cares about his family."

"What if he has many mistresses outside, attracting bees and butterflies all day long, will his life be easy?"

Hearing this, the girl An Bing seemed a little shaken, but she still said.

"He shouldn't be that kind of person."

Shane's expression was a little strange.

He was a little curious, how would the boss react if he knew that the person he was evaluating would be the current salary king in [Great Yan Country]?

"Humph, I'm not married yet, so I'm just talking for him."

"Xiaobing, I'm afraid your life will not be easy in the future."

The female boss had obviously been emotionally hurt, and she vowed: "In short, no man can be trusted!"

"I came to Dayan Country before to escape from my original betrothed."

"If you also want to escape from marriage, you can contact me."

"I will help you find the safest possible way to the Southern Continent."

"No, no, no, no need!"

The girl pressed the ice and waved her hands quickly.

"Boss, I appreciate your kindness, but this is also a responsibility I must fulfill."

Seeing this, the coffee shop owner stopped trying to persuade him and left silently.

The girl An Bing looked at Xia En and the two, waiting for their reply.

At this time, An Bing spoke.

"We are really destined to each other, why don't we sit down and talk."

"this……"

The girl An Bing hesitated.

If it were any other stranger, she would certainly not agree to such a request.

But for some reason, the girl felt that this extremely mysterious woman had an indescribable sense of familiarity and intimacy.

So, after hesitating for a moment, the girl An Bing sat down and said.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Let's talk about your engagement."

An Bing said: "If I say. Although you and your husband are meeting for the first time."

"But after you get married, your husband treats you very well, will take care of you in every possible way and meet your needs."

"He will also take you for a walk in the snow and see the beautiful scenery of all parts of [Da Yan Country]. Will you fall in love with him?"

The girl An Bing looked at her strangely.

"Of course, he treats me so well, and he is my husband, why shouldn't I fall in love with him?"

An Bing continued.

"What if, later you find out that his behavior towards you is to stabilize your family and for the overall situation of [Da Yan]."

"Will you still love him?

The girl An Bing was silent for a while: "Should... still be, right?"

"Although I feel a little uncomfortable, but since ancient times, we should judge by deeds rather than by heart. "

"As long as he has been good to me, why should I expose this?"

An Bing's next question followed.

"Then let me ask you, if one day, you suddenly found out...your husband is doing something to your family."

"Even your mother might die in his hands, what would you do?"

At this point, the girl An Bing finally realized that something was wrong.

"What are you talking about?"

"How is this possible?"

An Bing said coldly: "Just think of it as a bold assumption I made."

"So, what's your answer?"

The girl's face showed some struggle, but she still said.

"I should ask him why he did this? What is the truth of the matter?"

"Very good."

An Bing nodded and said in a slightly cruel tone.

"And after you did this, your husband not only did not give you an answer, but instead sent you to the cold palace and never wanted to see you again. "

"You will live alone until the end of time..."

"What I want to ask is, if the future really becomes like this, will you regret not running away from marriage today and leaving this city that is destined to bring you sadness?"

This question made the girl An Bing fall into deep thought.

There was a struggle and entanglement on her face.

After a long silence, she spoke.

"I think... I probably won't regret it, right?"

"Even if the final ending is tragic, how can there be an ending if you don't start?"

"Besides, I believe that even if that happens, there must be a reason for it."

"Or, I didn't do well enough."

"If I could notice the problem earlier and solve it, the ending would definitely be different!"

The girl An Bing said very seriously.

The bright big eyes seemed to be shining, which made Xia En and An Bing beside him feel a little dazzling.

"It turned out to be like this..."

An Bing said to herself in a daze.

"So... is this the me in the past? "

She looked at her younger self in front of her, and some knots in her heart were untied silently.

At this time, the girl An Bing asked cautiously.

"Sister, who are you?"

An Bing took off a corner of her veil and said: "Actually, I am you in the future."

"And now, I hope you can do me a small favor...
