Chapter 1017 (2/2)

”All this has nothing to do with you. You are free. You are no longer a night watchman bound by any oath or order - no one stops you wherever you want and what you want to do as long as you like.”

”If you want to continue to serve the night watchman, Edward is now the confidant of his highness Brandon, you can go directly to him; if you want to be a real wizard, almost all the remaining wizards in eboden are in red blood castle, and you can go to Isaac or ayin at any time, no problem.”

The voice fell, and Loren tentatively stretched out his right hand to help him.

But he stopped it.

”Freedom... When I, who should die, escaped from the sky palace alive, there was no freedom.” Peter, who was still laughing at himself, lowered his head and tried to restrain his trembling limbs:

”I am the watchdog of his majesty Eckhart II and the person entrusted with my life - not to mention my life, even the body I now use to breathe and maintain my will...”

”It's not my stuff anymore!”

The moment the voice fell, his whole body staggered.

”What on earth is that for?” Lauren couldn't help asking, ”if akhat II would rather die than let you live, there must be his reason - he asked you to remember the truth of all this. Who was he going to tell

”I don't know!”

Peter suddenly raised his head and looked at the dark haired wizard with a trance smile. He was obviously smiling, but he smiled so painfully:

”That's the key, I don't know - Your Majesty, he... He told me everything, but he didn't tell me who to tell all this!”

”He just wants to keep me alive, let me watch what happens next, and let me always stick to all these secrets until the moment I need me... But I don't know who, when and what needs me!”

”I really want to know, but I don't know!”

”I know I have to live, but I don't know why or for whom!”

”Lauren, I'm not like you, you... And Edward. You're the kind of people who live for themselves; I can't. I've been entrusted with the wishes of too many others since I was born.”

The violent trembling voice made the pain almost like the essence.

”The expectations of parents, the hope of the family, the courtesy of teachers, the contempt of nobles... As well as the solicitation of superiors, the shelter of rich families, the heaviness of knowledge...”

”I accepted it, I carried it, and I completed what they expected me to do; because their expectations for me are very important, but they are too heavy!”

”It's too heavy. It's really too heavy... I, the watchdog, already don't know what it's like to live for myself... How to live...”

Peter FASA cried his heart and lungs and lost his voice; With bloodshot eyes, he glanced at Lauren, hobbled away and walked to the door of the tavern.

”If only I knew...”

…………………………

”You should have asked the truth from him.”

In the empty tavern, Dalton kand stood behind the dark haired wizard and said coldly.

”His current mood fluctuates violently. As long as he is pressed, he has a great chance to tell the truth directly - it will be a relief for him.”

”Maybe.” the black haired wizard replied without looking back, with a lonely expression: ”but we don't have to know the 'truth' - we already know who the enemy is, so why do we have to know everything, more importantly...”

”More importantly... He is my friend. I don't want to force him if I can.”

Dalton kand didn't say anything more. He just put forward his own suggestions.

Turning his head, Lauren looked at his mentor - Dalton kand looked normal at the moment. He was still calm and serious. There was no emotion in his sharp eyebrows, all hidden under his pupils.

If he didn't know enough about his mentor, Lauren might really think he was no different from usual.

”You... Really give LUT infinite...”

The dark haired wizard asked tentatively.

”... forget him. He's no longer a threat.”

Dalton, who was silent for a while, answered his apprentice in a very negative way.

This in itself is very unusual, because Dalton kand is one of the people Loren knows who doesn't like playing word games and advocates concise language.

Loren shrugged and didn't ask - for the same reason as Peter FASA.

”The problem of the night watchman is solved. Next, we need to focus on the Azores and the 'black cross' serliol.” Dalton's voice is steady, but the idea of changing the topic is still very deliberate:

”You said he would come back again sooner or later, and this... Is not the evil god of the evil god, or the culprit who once destroyed the Dragon kingdom. Now he needs more.”

”If... His judgment is correct and he does not lie, the Azores should be the chess pieces released by the black cross - a cover to contain and attract the attention of the Empire.”

Intentionally or unintentionally, Dalton didn't want to mention the man's name.

”Yes, the key lies in whether these elves who believe in the way of samurai also have this consciousness - or that everything they have done so far is forced.”

Looking at the tutor who wanted to avoid the end of LUT infinit, Loren coughed and took over the topic: ”but there is no doubt that if we can't defeat the Azores and kill them all, we will be defeated by the Azores and kill them all.”

”Of course, there is also a possibility - serliol planned all this. He very much hopes that we will try our best to defeat the Azores, because this is a part of his plan... Just like the Centaur war.”

”Either defeat or be used by him. This is serlior's style.”

Dalton Kande frowned slightly: ”but you said that he has been completely exiled to the void world - he can't come back unless there is a large enough void force to blur the boundary between the two worlds and a body that can be used as evidence in the material world.”

”In that case, how can he influence and even invade our world?”

”I don't know... Maybe akhat II knows, but we'll never have a chance to ask him.” as a joke, Loren said, ”we'll always know.”

”What are you going to do now?” Dalton continued.

”Wait.”

”Wait?”

”Wait... Prepare the army, design new weapons, and see if you can get more supplies... In short, wait.” the black haired wizard vomited and smiled at his mentor:

”No matter what this guy is planning, he must come for me next, so I just need to wait.”

”And to tell you the truth, I actually...”

”I'm really looking forward to it.”
