Answer the question, Kiyana!

The two also managed to find the relic of the unaccounted for Karen Kaslana in the cabinet of a certain baron's mansion.

It was a rather quaint wooden box

In Teresa's sight, Amber personally opened the dusty relic box left by Kallen Kaslana at the end of her life

Everything inside the box is brought into view

as kallen said

Among them are those few things

Handmade airplanes, white roses, small muskets, and...farewell letters.

Chapter 290 Eight Kallen's Relics

Perhaps in the eyes of others, the things in the box are probably the most memorable things similar to childhood

that's a matter of course

After all, apart from the last farewell letter, handmade airplanes, small muskets and flowers are all in line with the interests of young children

But in front of Otto, the four ordinary items in the box contained more information

The handcrafted plane was the opportunity for Otto Apocalypse and Kallen Kaslana to meet, and it represented the beginning of the two.

Without this airplane model, perhaps the girl named Kallen and the second son of the Apocalypse family that no one would expect would still meet, but it would no longer bring the original touch

The two white roses withered and withered under the washing of time, which symbolized the relationship formed between the two when they grew up.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect

The two childhood sweethearts also forged a deep friendship in their beautiful childhood.

Bright as blood, red roses symbolize undying love, but white roses are different

The flower language is pure white rose, which means that this emotion is pure and pure

Otto is not ignorant of romance. When he saw the two cuddling white roses in the box in the picture, he instantly understood a lot.

No... perhaps that was understood a long time ago by a young man named Otto Apocalypse

But now, the flowers that should have been gorgeous in the box have also withered under the ruthlessness of time

After all, this pure emotion was inevitably lost to the cruelty called reality.

And what about the little musket?

Is it a toy?

Perhaps it is indeed a harmless toy in itself.

But it is precisely because of this essence that this toy, as Kallen's relic, contains more profound meaning

The innocent girl named Kallen Kaslana tried to defend her will with weapons under the claws of those evil rulers, but... she only relied on this toy musket to defend herself. Isn't it a self-mockery of this folly?

——The handcrafted plane that represents the original fate

——White roses represent the emotions sprouted from the growth of two people

——Representing Kallen's unyielding will to show her will when encountering darkness, a very weak toy gun.

And, this last...

——A farewell letter from Karen Kaslana to Otto at the end of her life

These things are not special, but everything is a metaphor for the lives of the two of them

Otto, who saw through the meaning behind these items, looked at Karen calmly and sighed, "Is this what you want to tell me? Karen"

"...I really can't hide it from you"

With a wry smile on her pretty face, Karen said softly, "When I left these things behind, I knew you would understand the meaning of these things."

"After all, you've always been that smart."

"What happened?"

Seeing the two talking to each other, Qiyana was a little confused

She doesn't quite get what's going on here.

Why did the bastard Otto seem to understand the four things in the box and sensed the deep meaning?

But it's not just Qiyana, the other people present are also at a loss

Even if they are as smart as Mei and Tesla, it is impossible to figure out what is going on

After all, the things in that box symbolize Karen Kaslana's life

If you don't know Kallen very well, no matter how smart you are, you can't think that there are many deep meanings in it.

"The things in it can't be finished in a few words..." Karen turned her gaze, met everyone's curiosity, and said calmly:

"But it doesn't matter if you are really interested. In the next letter, I wrote... a lot of things in it."

"However, when I think that the things I write next will be seen by a bunch of people, I really feel a little complicated."

Knowing what she wrote in that letter, Karen couldn't help but touch her forehead.

Because I'm going to die writing that shit

Based on the idea of ​​​​after death, no matter what the flood is.

So it doesn't matter if that thing is seen by some other irrelevant people

But I never thought that now, I would actually come back to life, and then I would follow so many people to read the last letter I left behind back then.

In the picture, Teresa took out the envelope that was pressed at the bottom. After thinking for a while, she took the initiative to hand the envelope to Amber, saying:

"Amber, it's up to you to take a look. I hope this contains the answer you want."

"I see."

Amber nodded softly, and then opened the letter quite solemnly and carefully.

A farewell letter from Kallen Kaslana to Otto Apocalypse, her best friend, before the end of her life.

Under Karen's complex eyes, this suicide note, which was exposed to everyone, also eulogized Karen Kaslana's voice

"Thank you for visiting me today, and thank you for the red wine you brought."

"But...sorry, I can't accept the options you've offered me"

"I have tried, Otto, I have tried many paths, trying to reverse this unreasonable reality and implement the justice in my heart"

"But Otto, we are too immature and too weak after all..."

"Too immature to be used as pawns by those cunning old people without knowing it, and too weak to change this terrible world even if you try your best."

"Otto, do you remember our first Phantom Thief operation?"

"At that time, we were so satisfied, as if we could solve all the problems in this world."

"It was the happiest time of Kallen Kaslana's life"

"And after that... we hit a wall pretty quickly"

"This wall is piled up by "desires" and glued together by "interests". It rises from hell and divides the world of good people into pieces."

"...We also parted ways in the cracks in that wall after all."

"I left my original world, but I never found a new continent that can change everything"

"Even, in the far east, between erroneous circumstances..."

"...I, like you, inadvertently brewed the ultimate irreversible bitter fruit"

"You killed your sister Eleanor, and I...killed her"

The content of the suicide note sounded with it, and what seemed to be the words stated by Karen himself when writing the letter sounded in everyone's ears

Between the lines of this short sentence, from the sad words

Everyone seems to have seen Kallen Kaslana from a lively and righteous girl to being crushed by the cruel reality and falling into deep despair

Helplessness, misery, sorrow, self-blame...

Otto, who deeply felt Karen's emotions when she wrote the letter, looked at Karen, and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

He knew that Kallen had been brooding over Eleanor's death

After all, that was also one of the fuses that caused Karen to go away.

When he was unable to alleviate the situation, he could only let it go, and even took the initiative to help Kallen Kaslana escape from that hometown, which is clearly the world, but I don’t know how much better it is than hell.

Otto looks forward to Kallen's comfort in a foreign land far away and a happier life

The encounter between Kallen and Yae Sakura seems to be a response to his wish

So when he learned about the situation of the two of them, he was actually very happy.

Otto sincerely thanked the woman named Yae Sakura, because she seemed to have given Karen the happiness she deserved, and was much stronger than himself

But what happened after that kind of...

Ugh

As if recalling some memories that he didn't want to recall, Otto shook his head and sighed

Return to the screen and continue reading this unfinished letter

"Otto, I know you've always thought of me as your only hero"

"It's just that I also have my own weaknesses, my short-sightedness, my own mistakes, and my own confusion"

"I'm not as great as you imagine...I'm just a clumsy person who doesn't want to go against my original intention"

"I know that in your eyes, I'm stupid and stubborn. But even in the face of death, I still can't go against the original emotion in my heart."

"As long as this heart is still beating... my body and my will cannot become a pawn without flesh and blood"

"You said... this kind of me, from another perspective, isn't it quite selfish?"

"But even so, I hope you can forgive me..."

"Because if I continue to be myself, then in front of me, there is only one way left to go"

"I know this will make you very sad"

"But Otto, if the "hero Karen" in your mind still exists at this moment—"

"—Then "she" should be able to tell you why she would rather die than agree to those conditions that treat living people as political pawns."

"So... Farewell, my great inventor"

"In your heart, maybe I can really be a hero forever."

this letter so far

After reading this letter, everyone couldn't calm down for a long time

They all looked at the owner of the letter, Karen Kaslana, at the same time.

At this time, there was no longer a smile on her face, and there was just an indescribable bitterness.

People, perhaps only when death is imminent, can we really see ourselves clearly

"You are a true hero, worthy of the name of a saint..."

After reading the contents of this letter, Bianca was in awe of Karen.

If it is said that her previous respect for Karen was as a senior

So at this moment, what Bianca respects is the saint Kallen Kaslana who practiced her will with her death.

"Don't call me by that name anymore..."

Karen smiled wryly, "As I wrote in the letter, Karen Kaslana is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person."

Whether it is a saint or a hero, in Kallen's view, these are too far away from her

"Being able to practice one's will with one's life constitutes a hero in the universal sense."

Yai adjusted her glasses and said half-jokingly: "What's more, for us, you are a character in the destiny textbook."

"However, compared to you, your best friend is the complete opposite."
