"Why does the white dove approach you? And it seems to listen to you very much."

"Maybe I'm not a human being to them? As for listening to me, maybe I'm born to lead?"

"Idiot."

"That's an exaggerated conclusion."

"What about the bench? It's logical that you can't sit on that seat."

"In my memory, I seem to have sat here before, so I came here to sit, and then leaned my body weight on the bench where it was relatively safe."

"It really is an idiot."

"It's really too much."

Xiao Yan knelt down on the ground weakly, the corners of his mouth raised as the beginning, and he couldn't help but let out a silent and helpless laugh.

Although there was no sound, Xiao Yan knew that he was really happy.

The promise that had never been expected was realized unexpectedly.

"This park is even older than before. To be honest, it's a surprise that it hasn't been demolished. I thought there would only be an empty space when I came here."

"There was indeed such a plan not long ago, but I blocked it."

"Block it? If I remember correctly, this is not the territory of the Ice Family."

"I negotiate in the name of the head of the Ice Family."

"I really like using the power of the nobles."

"It's up to you."

"Then, why did you protect this place at the expense of the head of the family's Mingyi? And it hasn't been renovated at all——as if to keep the original appearance."

"that is because……"

Just when he was about to blurt out quickly as usual, Xiao Yan realized that his mind was blank.

No, I have a "clear idea", and this idea is an idea that has never been born under the identity of "Yan".

As Yan, as the head of the Bing Family, all she has no idea is to guard this place.

Now, she finally understands why she did this at that time—it was just for this reason that she and Xiaoya came to the park they had promised.

"So what's the reason?"

"This! You don't need to know."

Thinking of the idea of ​​"so simple to naive" in his head, Xiao Yan quickly blushed and couldn't speak.

"I'm more curious about your timid look, right?"

"What is twitching! Actually there is no reason...it's just like that, um, because this is not the territory of the Ice family after all, so at best I can prevent it from being dug up, but I can't take it over for renovation."

"Yeah, that's very likely to be the case."

He ended the topic with a light response, and Xiao Yan also understood that there was no need to continue, because this would probably expose his thoughts—until his eyes moved to Xiaoya's still expressionless face.

She understood what had to be said.

Even if "many past experiences and memories" come back to the body again, it doesn't mean that they can really go back.

Time never goes back to the past because of people's feelings.

If you don't seize this opportunity now, when will the next opportunity be?

Having this thought that there is no answer, Xiao Yan took a light breath, and said lightly to Jie.

"Sorry, I lied."

"What lie?"

"Actually, it's not that I can't fully renovate this place, because in fact, although this land is in Fayahana, this land is a deserted and forgotten ruin. In addition, there will be bandits and mercenaries who will come to private transactions and have real power here. The nobles have no desire to manage at all."

"Yeah, what's the real reason?"

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and clenched his cold fingertips tightly.

"Because... I want to keep the promise. In my heart, I think that one day I can come here with Xiaoya again. I hope that this place can be the same as I remember, and maintain the scene at that time."

"Ah, that's it."

"..."

"..."

"that's it?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mustered up the courage to say the reason, but your reaction was just "ah, that's it" as if you didn't hear it?"

Xiao Yan's counterattack made Jie's dark eyes under the cloak slightly widen, as if he was thinking about the mistakes or the process, and quietly came to a conclusion.

"Really, then I should say...thank you for guarding this place, so that I can fulfill my promise to come here with you?"

"Why is it an interrogative sentence!"

"……Feel sorry."

"No, it's not like that, and there's nothing to apologize for..."

Xiao Yan remained silent in a little embarrassment, but then felt something was wrong. Both his behavior and tone were very similar, but there were slight differences.

Is Jieshi in front of me really the guy from memory?

For some reason, Xiao Yan had such an idea silently.

Pasha, pasha...

The white pigeons caressed by Xiaoya and the white pigeons on the Jieshi Room spread their wings and flew back to the big tree, staying on the branches with their companions waiting there.

"Now this child is called Nian?"

"It's the name chosen by the head of the Feng family."

"Why are you related to him?"

"This... I don't know. When I find out, this child will become a magician in the Feng family."

"Xiaoya is just an ordinary human being."

"That's right, I thought so too at the beginning, whether it's magic or domains, I haven't discovered it from Xiaoya."

"The burning of the orphanage probably caused a drastic change in her mood because of this incident, and heresy occurred in the molecules that couldn't respond to her body."

With some doubts, Xiao Yan looked at the man who could hardly tell who he was.

In the past, he would never use such a cold tone to analyze relatives and friends.

"That's just unfounded talk."

"Well, yes, after all, I don't understand what the process is. I can only admire the former king for turning an ordinary girl like Xiaoya into a strange existence."

Click.

Suddenly there was a condensed sound in his ears, and his blue eyes looked towards his feet, and found that it was the crushed ice made by himself—he would never say such sad words that Xiaoya existed in a strange way.

"The former king was a magician that no one could see through."

"That's right, he is indeed very powerful. He has a wide range of domains but has never cast powerful magic. This is what makes him the most powerful."

In the past, he was full of disgust and disgust for the former king, but now he praised the former king who had influenced his life.

"Where is it great?"

Xiao Yan asked softly, pulled Xiaoya to her side, and rubbed her young fair face with her cheeks - keeping a distance of half a meter from Jieshi.

"He understands the law of conserving stamina in battle. He uses the minimum consumption to obtain the maximum effect in battle. He only uses magic as an auxiliary and a short sword as the main force. He can easily take the life of the enemy."

"... Jieshi, it's rare to come here to fulfill the promise. It seems a bit strange to say these things?"

Those pitch-black eyes widened again, and the line of sight revealed the message "Is this so?", and then nodded vigorously as if understanding.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what to say, I can only speak from the deepest content in my memory."

"Jieshe, don't you want to talk to Xiaoya more? Do you want to chat more, or simply enjoy this time?"

"Nothing at all."

"……what?"

The clear words quickly entered Xiao Yan's ears, but they seemed unreal and difficult to digest.

"Your breathing is rapid."

"What happened to that sentence just now?"

Lowering his head and making a hoarse voice, Jie Shi couldn't hear him at all.

"What did you say?"

"What's with that answer!"

The roaring voice contained countless emotions, and it was impossible to judge what was going on, Jie Shi could only look at the other party blankly.

"sorry."

The only thing I can do is apologize.

"Hey, Jieshi, can you tell me who you are?"

Step, step, step.

Several magicians wearing battle robes appeared at the gate of the park, and the badges on their chests were all printed with the flame totem representing the Fire Family.

"Looks like they've been discovered, those guards at the gate."

Along with the appearance of these fire family magicians, the wind attribute magicians who were originally on standby in the distance also appeared, and more than a dozen magicians surrounded the entrance and exit of the park.

And Xiaoyan had already protected Xiaoya behind him, his azure blue eyes were full of vigilance...and delicate complex emotions.

Why do you have to show such a complicated expression?

Unable to understand Xiao Yan's mood at the moment, Jie Shi still couldn't make a clear judgment even though he was thinking hard.

"Xiao Yan..."

"During the war, I killed many swordsmen. I forgot my emotions and only knew how to kill with magic... Until now, it was because of Xiaoya and Jieshi that I recalled that I had actually done so many terrible and cruel things. , It was you who reminded me of the happiness I used to have, and you saved me."

"..."

"Just a few minutes ago, I even had the idea of ​​protecting you even in the name of the head of the Ice family."

"That's impossible. I have surpassed criminals that can be protected by a single family."

"Of course I know it's impossible! But that's how my head came up with the idea!"

"You are really contradictory."

Ignoring the words that were extremely like Jie Shi would say, Xiao Yan continued to roar with a certain pain and grief.

"Stop rambling! Listen to me!"

"..."

"Hey, why, obviously it was your appearance that made me recover, and it was because you still remembered the promise that I was reminded of my previous self, but why did you say that...why did you come here to keep the promise , have already arrived and can enjoy this happiness at your fingertips, why can you still answer "nothing"?"

"..."

"Don't keep silent anymore, answer me! Is your promise just a simple promise? Don't you have any motivation or belief to fulfill it?"

"...It's faith again."

"what?"

Jieshi glanced at the magicians who hadn't approached for a long time, and became more convinced that it was because of the head of the Ice family that they didn't attack immediately.

"Even if you keep trying to search your past self from your memory, is it true that the self who has been unplugged from the "realization" is still irreplaceable?"

Xiao Yan, who was expected by the surrounding magicians, did not use magic for a long time. While opening his hands to protect Xiaoya, he lowered his head deeply so that people could not see his expression clearly at the moment.

"Give it back to me...give me back the Jieshi from back then...I don't want to pretend to be a stranger to Jieshi!"

"stranger."

As if to confirm the authenticity of this sentence, the dark eyes under the bandage looked at his bandage-covered fingertips, then gently stroked his face that was also covered with bandages, and finally moved his gaze to the black sword on his waist.

"That's right, the me who only has memories left, the me who lacks faith, is not qualified to claim the name "Jieshi" at all, right?"

Compromising the running of the world, accepting the result of this thorny road, whispered the conclusion.

"I, even keeping the promise has become a luxury."

Click.

A certain falling sound came into Xiao Yan's ears - it was a very familiar sound, and Xiao Yan had also been in this kind of emotion before, it was the sound of self-blocking, the lock being fastened, It's just that this time it wasn't Xiao Yan who was locked up.

Instead, it was uploaded from the other party.

"I have only one mission here, to prevent the Feng family from growing stronger, and for this heretical existence that can resist my magic, I want to kill Nian."

As if a rock hit his ear hard, Xiao Yan's face was full of astonishment, and his ears even produced a "buzzing" tinnitus, completely unable to think about what this sentence meant.

With a very short distance, Jieshi jumped into the sky, intending to approach Xiaoya directly from behind.

tread.

I saw Xiao Yan turned half a circle and stood between Jie Shi and Xiao Ya again, those complex eyes stared straight at Jie Shi's eyes that were even darker, like a bottomless abyss.

"I will definitely protect Xiaoya...I will definitely do it this time!"

"Go away, head of the Ice Family."

With a sound of "swipe", he drew up the black sword with his left hand and drew a slash.

Crack...Crack!

The condensed ice wall a few centimeters in front of Xiaoya was easily destroyed, and the slash disappeared along with the ice wall.

Xiaoya remained motionless like a stake, her silvery white eyes were fixed on Jieshi.

"The reputation of the head of the Ice family is really great. Those magicians trust your ability so much, they all understand that you are just useless and will only get in the way."

tread.

The moment his toes touched the ground, Jieshi raised his strength and rushed towards Xiaoya.

"I will never let you get close to Xiaoya!"

boom!

The sharp sound pierced into his ears quickly, and Jieshi raised his head only to find that two ice cones were hiding in the shadows and shooting straight down——Xiao Yan's magic structure was condensed from the ground, but Jieshi didn't notice the process at all. .

Snapped.

It was easily cut to close the distance again, but this time at least six ice cones struck from all directions, and the ground had already been covered by ice earlier, as long as it took a few more steps, it would probably be frozen in place.

Jieshi's domain didn't notice this series of magic arrangements.

"Is that you? Read."

The only possibility is that child.

Even if there is no subtle movement or words, but if it is that kind of heretical magic, it makes sense.

"Are you also acting to protect the head of the Ice family... Even if you become the chief puppet, you still have more faith than me."

call out--

The black sword in his left hand thrust into the ground in front of him, quickly jumped to the top of the hilt, and grabbed the magic sword on his shoulder with his right hand to cut all the ice cones flying towards him.

Clap clap clap clap!

Destroys all ice cones with one hit.

"I won't let you get any closer...a world of ice and snow."

Click, click, click...

Looking at the ice magic that is only a few centimeters away, Jieshi is very aware of the danger of this magic.

As long as you stand still for a few seconds, you may be swallowed, your body will fall into a low temperature state, and you will die consciously. However, the only black sword that can relieve this predicament is at your feet. Xiaoya's ability added another layer of hard-to-win elements—as if establishing his own defeat, Jieshi stood on the hilt of his sword without moving.

"it's over."

I don't know why Jieshi didn't move, but Xiaoyan's magic still didn't stop. When he felt that the ice-attributed molecules had touched the molecules with temperature, he couldn't help but close his eyes to put an end to this "short hallucination".

boom!hiss……

"That's right, it's over."

The blood splashed in the cold air, and a large amount of liquid sprayed on Xiao Yan's fair face, subconsciously opening his eyes was stained red by a layer of warm liquid.

call.

At this moment, the ice attribute magic that had devoured Jieshi collapsed.

His pitch-black eyes stared indifferently at the "scene" in front of him.

"The black sword that I dropped just now contains power... It's just a trick of swordsmanship, sending the slash to the ground, but it is very effective against magicians who are accustomed to using the field."

He spoke quietly without any emotional change, jumped back to the ground and pulled out the black sword, and disappeared from everyone's eyes with ease.

"The promise, I did keep it."

In the void, cold-blooded words without any warmth came faintly.

Tread, tread, tread...

After the demon left, the magicians who had been waiting couldn't help rushing in in panic, especially the magicians of the Feng family were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

"This, this...quick, call the medical team!"

"How could there be a medical station in this remote ruin!"

"Anyone come and help me, anyone please!"

The wailing of the magicians of the surrounding Feng family spread throughout the park.

Fear, anger, sadness, and despair weighed on everyone's shoulders like a rock.

"Bing, the head of the Ice family, please, please move the deputy head of the Feng family to the residence for emergency treatment."

"what……"

The azure blue eyes first looked at the tense-faced magicians around them, and doubts filled their sights—at the same time, a deadly low air pressure enveloped everyone.

"Ah... ah."

Following someone's gaze, Xiao Yan's eyes finally reached the target - the petite body he hugged tightly.

Beep, beep, beep...

Pieces of blood soaked the clothes, and they continued to flow from the corners of the clothes to the ground without any sign of stopping, and the bottoms of the limp feet were already covered with puddles of blood.

"what……"

The warmth between the skin and the skin was far more intense and sticky than usual, and there was a strong rusty smell of blood in the nasal cavity.

The clothes that had been swung had already been shattered, and the tender skin and muscles were cut open by sharp punctures, until reaching the blurred inner layer.

Drip, drop.

As if to confirm the authenticity of the scene in front of him, Xiao Yan slightly widened his eyes, his eyes lost the brilliance they should have, and his ears could not hear anything, only the low sound of liquid came into his ears.

"what……"

——Heartbeat, in addition to his own and the other's, the beating rate began to have a significant difference.

At this moment, Xiao Yan couldn't comprehend the situation in his head.

The violent emotion that was about to vomit had already surged in his heart.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The sharp roar spread throughout the park, and continued to linger in a certain corner of the capital.
