"It includes you, right?"

Xia Lan looked at the other person expressionlessly and said.

"…Yes.” The man hesitated for a moment and said, "But at the same time you should know that this is not our choice."

"This is the second time." Xia Lan said calmly: "Please go back and tell Heris that next time, we will never owe each other!"

"I will help you convey it, and you still want to take care of it."

The two of them only took less than a minute from the meeting and conversation to the end, but this minute contained information that both of them valued.

When they returned to the office, officials were in a hurry to go and talk. When they met Xia Lan, they would pause their pace and just left with respectful greetings. A person's prestige could be seen. Usually, he would respond slightly, keep a distance and reflect his cultivation. He basically would not give people the impression of being arrogant and rude. But just now, he always had a cold expression and ignored others along the way. Anyone with a wink secretly speculated that he didn't know what important thing affected the mood of his coach.

Standing in front of the study window, he looked down at the city scene with a strict order in front of him. If it weren't for his appearance, the land would have long been ruined by war. Since leading his army to the Thorne Lake Defense Line, he has suppressed all the disobedient voices with powerful means. If this were not the case, how could he implement his will and fully grasp the military and political power of the Thorne Lake Defense Line?

Even if there are many things and stand at the height of the overall situation, he has saved the face of failure for the Holy Church and laid the foundation for a comeback in the future.

But the Holy Temple not only did not intend to treat the heroes well, but instead intended to deal with him because of his power struggle. The most heartbreaking thing in the world is that he avoided the enemy's open and secret arrows, but in the end he could not escape the plot behind his own people.

Some people say that the reason why people feel tired is because they often hesitate between persistence and giving up.

His heart was tired, and he was tired a long time ago.

Sometimes, he doesn't know what he is sticking to or what he is sticking to. This feeling is hard to describe, as if there is a force driving him.

He stood in front of the window all night, and then, the next morning, the servant who came to greet him was shocked to find that Xia Lan was missing.

Soon afterwards, the mysterious disappearance of Greene, the legendary commander of the Thorne Lake defense line, shocked the entire Elderland.

There is no doubt that Green's disappearance has triggered countless people's attention, and there are many different opinions from both the people and the forces of all parties.

Faced with such exciting news, the Heather Empire was very excited. After confirming that the news was true, the Empire immediately dispatched a large army to attack the Thorne Lake defense line. At the same time, it was widely publicized that Green's disappearance was because of the power dispute within the church, someone intended to murder the legendary commander who made unparalleled achievements. After learning the news, Green returned to the mountains and forests in a disheartened manner!

Of course, the Holy Church would not sit idly by the Empire to guide the public opinion trend. After urgently dispatching the white-clothed hermitage to guard the defense line of Lake Thorne, the Holy Church competed to promote Green's disappearance was the result of the secret assassination of the Empire.

...

...

"I didn't expect him to do this!"

Herris sat on the chair with a wry smile on her face. The news of Green's disappearance was undoubtedly a serious impact on her. No one would have thought that he would be "willful" and would just turn aside.

"I didn't expect it." Berrant, who was standing beside him, sighed.

"You have been with him for the longest time. Have you ever noticed something wrong with him in the past few years? It is impossible for him to make a quick decision if such a thing happened." Herris said with some energy.

"...I remember when we went to the Fernanto border forest for a mission, that is, before the Battle of Brenvig, we had an unusual conversation at night." Berrant pondered for a while.

"How unusual?" Heris asked quickly.

"A question about the world's cage." Then Berlant repeated the conversations between the two one by one in detail.

"What do you think he was thinking?" Herris frowned.

"Perhaps, he thought of an answer." Berrant said.

"The answer?" Herris said inexplicably.

"Knowing yourself, the answer to the world." Berrant said with a solemn expression.

“…”

Herris was a little confused and even became upset.

He abandoned everything for an illusory answer? Isn't this a joke or is he mentally ill?

"Where did you think he would go?" Despite the resentment in his heart, Heris couldn't help asking.

"I don't know-" Berrant said: "If he really wants to hide his unwillingness to see people, I'm afraid there are few people who can find him."

At this time, someone came outside the door.

"Mr. Heris, I'll send someone there to invite you to go over and have something to discuss."

The reporter was Gardville, one of the twelve knights.

"I understand. It seems that there is doubt that Green's disappearance is related to me." Herris said distressedly. "But they probably won't believe my explanation at all."

...

...

Green's disappearance continues to ferment with time. After all, Green's influence in the current war pattern is obvious to all. For example, if the Gadavian defense line is the legs that support the church, then Green, who is good at military command, is the right-hand man who relies on attack and defense. After losing his hands, you can understand that when Green was there, the empire was afraid to hold on. When the news of Green's disappearance came, it was heard, which shows Green's deterrence to the empire!

Now that Green is missing, I don’t know if the church’s attempts to deal with his senior management will regret it. Anyway, the empire is undoubtedly gloating.

At the same time, where did the disappearing main person go?

In fact, he didn't go anywhere, or he didn't know where to go.

He has no hometown, no home, even if he doesn't even have a place to miss, because no matter how long he stays in this world, he never feels a sense of belonging. From the beginning of his arrival in this world, his life is a life of tragedy. If life is a book, he will definitely jump out of the book and kill the author who wrote his life.

But the saddest thing in life is that if there is a writer, you will never be able to break out of the cage built by the writer.

Because you will never know whether what you are thinking now and whether what you are planning to do is a carefully arranged decision.

Just like his destiny at this moment, his life at this moment, his world at this moment.

That night, he was thinking, if there was really a fate, if there was really an author—

Why can't I learn from Joshua to go against my established life trajectory like the game.

He who shouldn't have appeared in the Salania holy land was dead.

And what about yourself?

Will you die?

He didn't know if fate had shackles. If so, he wanted to try to contact, try to violate, and try to break.

As for the Holy Church, Empire, and the future of the entire Elderland has to do with him?!

When you think clearly about what you are pursuing in your heart, you will find that everything is false. His destiny begins with an unknown system, and his future is manipulated by an unknown system. Until now, everything he does is following the arrangements of the system.

Because of survival, he cannot live without the system, and because of obsession, he cannot let go of the system.

Do you hear my voice?

He asked in his heart.

The result was no response.

Do you know I'm tired?

He was still asking himself.

You know-

Do I no longer need you?

My life has been ruined by you. I am just a survivor in the world. Because of you, I can no longer feel beauty and happiness. Touch my blood, it is cold, look at my heart, it is black, and what is the meaning of my life? Do you kill someone for you?

When this sentence is silently said in my heart.

Countless disordered symbols flashed in his sight.

for a long time--

"Kill Goethe, the throne of the Witch."

"Kill Galbod."

"Kill Pope John of the Church."

"Kill..."

His eyelids twitched, and the system responded, and what responded to him was a series of shocking murder lists.

Why do you want to kill them? Why do I want to kill them for you?

The two questions that seem to be indistinguishable from each other represent two different meanings.

The system did not respond, but the murder list was still slowly appearing.

I don't have the ability to kill them, and at the same time... I will not follow your arrangements anymore.

bite--

In the dark, he seemed to hear a sound, and all the visions in his eyes disappeared, as if he had experienced a spiritual hallucination.

I really want to see, without me, what will happen next in this world?

I'm looking forward to it.

...

In the deep mountains and forests where birds sing and flowers are fragrant, there is a simple wooden house near the shore of the stream. A fire is burning on the open space outside the wooden house. A hot white pot is mounted on the fire. Xia Lan sat next to the iron pot, slowly stirring the wild vegetables and animal meat cooked in the iron pot with chopsticks made from branches.

He has lived here for nearly a few months, working from sunrise to sunset every day, and his life is as simple as a bowl of boiled water. During this period, he has not been away from the mountains and forests once, and is completely isolated from the outside world's information, so he has no idea about the latest developments in Elderland's situation. His ignoring the outside world does not mean that he is not interested, it is just that time has not come.

"How did you find me?"

Swallowing the food in the pot and putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Xia Lan suddenly looked across the stream because he felt a familiar atmosphere.

"Heris commissioned his friend of Star Forest to divine your approximate location through the fragments left on you. For this reason, I found you for two weeks."

Berrant appeared opposite him with a unkempt appearance.

"What are you doing?" Xia Lan said calmly. "You know I won't leave with you."

"I just want to ask you, have you found the answer?" Berlant said.

"Yes." Xia Lan nodded.

"What is the answer?" Berrant's face looked like a guru Wubo said: "I want to know."

"wait."

"wait?"
