Longevity Story

"Cake? Candy? Honey? Sugar? Or, wait, sweet? Wouldn't it be..."

Xing Ke suddenly thought of something, turned his eyes to Mo Meixiang, and suddenly said:

"[Innocent] who is connected with [Sweet]?"

——A cold joke! ?

Seeing that Xingke came to an answer, Illya smiled and affirmed:

"That's right, Mo Meixiang symbolizes [innocence]. She uses her own and all the children's [innocence], the most beautiful part of a kind person's heart [innocence] as her strength - a very powerful magical girl, right? "

You directly say that she is a magical girl who is oriented towards a young age and has a girlish style, right?Star carved silently complained.

However, is it [naive]?Watching Mo Meixiang's gradual change of Ronuo under Illya's head-smashing attack, Xing Ke had to admit it reluctantly - Mo Meixiang is a symbol of innocence.I love

As a symbol of 【Courage】, as long as you don’t lose courage, you will never lose. Similarly, as a symbol of 【Innocence】, Mo Meixiang will never lose as long as you don’t lose this 【Innocence】——

As she always did, she naively thought that as long as they expressed their hearts to each other, everyone could understand each other; naive thought that as long as everyone worked together, they could overcome all difficulties; naive thought that as long as she made the choice of betrayal in place of Aliceteria to protect her...

Innocent does not know to give up, does not know malice, does not know hatred, challenges all difficulties - naive, such a terrible power.

"By the way, Mo Meixiang, I just wanted to ask you..." Xing Ke suddenly remembered something and asked aloud:

"Is there a magical girl in your circle of magical girls who symbolizes [salvation] and [despair] at the same time, and has a round character in the name?"

"...Who knows? If Mr. Xingke wants to know, you can find it yourself."

——Although Mo Meixiang followed her example and answered with a mysterious smile on her face, of course Xing Ke would not be fooled by such words.

When Mo Meixiang heard the question, her moment of daze represented many things.

Moreover, compared to Mo Meixiang, Illya definitely knew who Xing Ke was referring to, but she didn't say anything.

However, Xing Ke didn't ask any further, he just tried to ask, without any attachment.In a blink of an eye, he and Mo Meixiang were chatting about other things...

Reuniting with friends who haven't seen for a long time, we can always talk about a lot of topics, and this is the end of a sloppy and fulfilling day.

In the evening, after having dinner with Xing Ke, Ilya, and Mashiro, Mo Mei Xiang was ready to say goodbye and leave, but Mo Mei Xiang was uncharacteristically and strongly asked Xing Ke and the others to send her a gift outside the Imperial Palace.

Although I don't know what happened, Ilya and Mashiro didn't object, and Xing Ke took a walk after dinner to follow her.

Strolling to the clear moat outside the Imperial Palace, Mo Meixiang said with a somewhat complicated expression:

"Actually, Mr. Xing Ke, people originally wanted to visit you with Alice today."

"Oh? Originally, that means Miss Knight refused?" Xing Ke said with a smile.

"Yeah, little Alice, she has been here many times when you are sleeping, Mr. Xingke, but after you woke up, Mr. Xingke, she firmly said [I don't want to see that person]... It really makes people It's a little troublesome."

Mo Meixiang put her hands behind her back and said while walking.

"Well, I don't know why, I can almost imagine that scene." Xing Ke seemed to be a little conscious of his character.

"Ha, ha—that's true." Mo Meixiang laughed dryly, "So they didn't force little Alice, but..."

At this moment, a tall, blond girl appeared in front of the road. Although she was not wearing armor as before, but an urban-style casual outfit, her body seemed to be wrapped in thunder and heroic spirit. But she still shows her identity...

Alice Fibrary, the knight princess who saved the kingdom and all creatures on the continent.

Of course, she also saw Xing Ke's group, but her expression didn't seem so happy.

But Mo Meixiang in front of Xing Ke smiled very happily:

"...People still think it's better for little Alice and Mr. Xingke to meet you, so they pestered little Alice to pick them up."

"Just be happy." Xing Ke didn't care.

"Mr. Xing Ke, little Alice is just shy, she doesn't really hate you as much as she seems..."

Saying that, Mamika raised a smile, ran to Aliceteria's side, and hugged her forearm intimately.Then, he pulled Alice and turned around, facing Xing Ke, waving his hand:

"Goodbye, Mr. Xingke! Sister Illya, Xiao Zhenbai, we will come together next time!~"

Well, goodbye, and good luck to you.

887. The dragon slayer hero who saves the world becomes a tool man...and is a one-off?

"Um—then what, what happened to Alice these years? Resisting meeting me so much?"

Although Xing Ke knew that he was not such a popular type, he was an old friend after all, and there should be some special reason for Alice to avoid him like this.

So, on the way back from the walk, Xing Ke treated it as a small talk, and asked Illya, who might know something.

"It's not something that can't be understood. You and Alice have a bad affinity with her, and in the eyes of others, it looks like..."

"The protagonist and the villain." Zhenbai replied.

"Yes, Mingjian." Illya gave a thumbs up.

Even Zhenbai complained, which made Xing Ke deeply realize once again that he and Alice had a new understanding of the relationship between himself and Alice... The kind that refreshed the bottom line.

"Okay, okay, I understand that the affinity is not good, but you should talk about the specific situation."

Xing Ke's curiosity was a little stronger.

However, Illya recalled some of the stories she had heard about Alice, but it was not a comedy:

"Simply put, Alice's initial fulfillment of her wish was actually very, very fortunate, and experienced a lot of tragedies and hardships."

"I remember her home world was ravaged by a group of villainous cults that worship destruction and spread disaster, right? Is it difficult to destroy them?"

Although Xing Ke has not visited that world on the spot, but reading the related comics, it does not seem to have such a complicated world view.

"Indeed, if just eliminating the villain can achieve Alice's long-cherished wish, then things are not that complicated." Illya continued:

"But Alisteria chose a path of suffering - [the ultimate answer to redemption]."

"Uh, it's over, another crazy one." Xing Ke instantly understood, and expressed disgust.

Of course Illya knew who the last madman Xing Ke was referring to was, but ignored him and continued:

"The so-called saving man-made disasters and eradicating evil are actually very easy - Alice, even if she does not have the help of the Ark of the Grand Realm, according to the original trajectory of fate, he can finally destroy the cult as the villain and achieve a seemingly happy ending. .

But the key point is that the original happy ending should have been obtained by the character of Alice, who sacrificed all her strength to become a mortal with only five years of life left, as if the peaceful world does not need Alice. Leah is a normal character. "

"Ah... So that's the case, tragic victory, some authors really like to do this kind of tragic ending, it's not uncommon." Xing Ke nodded.

"...and the fate of the world, like a cycle, every once in a while a catastrophe that engulfs the whole world, reducing the number of humans overreproducing in nature.

Similarly, when the disaster reaches a certain level, a hero will inevitably appear to lead the remaining human beings to eliminate the disaster and complete the redemption. "

"Very good, in this way, the second and third volumes can continue to be written, drawn, and photographed." Xing Ke complained.

"I don't like this." Mashiro objected as the original author who was not troubled by money.

"Hey, don't interrupt the two of you. The real world has nothing to do with capital. This was originally just a way for the will of the world to evolve and circulate itself." Ilya gave Xingke and Zhenbai a glance:

"However, Alice broke this cycle, and she survived as a consumable to save the world, and she became stronger, to the extent that the fate of the world was beyond her control."

My destiny is my own, and I will fly to the branches and become a fairy - this is also a true portrayal of Alice.

But Xing Ke seems to have guessed that although this kind of power has accelerated Alice's speed of saving the world and saved more lives that should have died in the tragedy, it also forced her to face a reality——

"Natural and man-made disasters are simply endless, whether it is the human race that kills itself to create disasters, or the natural world that devours human beings, takes revenge on human beings, or something else—

The will of the world itself is to maintain its own internal health and balance, and to grow itself in constant evolution. The world never favors human beings.

Of course, it is impossible for human beings to develop indiscriminately and live and work in peace and contentment forever..."

"So, Alice, a powerful being who protects human beings and protects her own country, has become an obstacle to the development of the world, and has become a [disaster] that breaks the balance in another sense, right?" Xing Ke asked rhetorically.

"Yeah, although it is very ironic, it is also very realistic that in the end, the noble, selfless and kind-hearted she became the [enemy of the world], and the whole world exudes malice and rejection against her."

It is conceivable that, as a princess of a country, a hero who saved the world, and a noble knight, Alice must have been sought after at the beginning.

But as time passed, the disaster happened again, she solved the disaster again, then peace came, and then the disaster came again and again, and she continued to save... If the cycle continues, her people will still serve her for her. How many times to cheer?

She became the resident patron saint, and became a part of the empire, rule, and machine. Citizens who have experienced hardship and helplessness will also grow old and die. It seems that a new generation of citizens born in times of peace did not appreciate her selfless devotion. Reason to cheer.

Because it's all part of the routine, isn't it?

Not many people can understand that peace is the continuation of countless miracles, how precious and worthy of gratitude.

Then, as the period of peace lasts for a long time, the population will increase, and if the population increases, there will be many problems.

At this time, the malice of the will of the world can easily focus the contradictions of countless problems on Aliceteria——

The dragon endangered the lives of the villagers, so she slaughtered the dragon.

But without the dragon, the number of other beasts increased, so he attacked other beasts.

Without other monsters, the number of ordinary herbivorous beasts will also increase, and they will start to harm crops, so let's kill all the herbivorous beasts.

But the problem appeared again. There were no herbivorous beasts, the vegetation became rich, and snakes, insects, mice and ants began to flood...

——Although the specific situation is definitely not so simple and extreme, the pattern should be not much different.

"In the end, if Alice wants to continue to stay in her home world, he must give up the so-called [Knight's Criterion] in his heart, and let the world return to the seemingly chaotic, but in fact balance and cycle combined state.

If she doesn't give up her [Knight Rules], then if she continues to stay in that world, the world itself will collapse..."

"So she [left home]?" Xing Ke's face was full of question marks now.

With Alice's "persistent" rigid character, Xing Ke doesn't think that she has changed her norms, but it is unlikely that her existence will become a disaster, so it is very likely that she chose to leave that world. ...

"Yes, if she doesn't take up the mission to go to other worlds, she usually lives in Mo Meixiang's home world.

After all, in the world where Mo Meixiang lives, the concept of good and evil is relatively straightforward..."

888. Putting pigeons is a very bad habit, it just needs to be resisted...

"Well, I know about Alice's tragedy."

Xing Ke and the others have been chatting and walking, and unknowingly, they have returned to Xing Ke's small room and sat around the table again.

"And then what? How does that extend to why she hates me?"

Xing Ke has asked Sera to prepare tea, and tonight's story will seem to continue, and even Shinshiro, who needs sleep the most, is not going to give up this opportunity.

"First of all, correct me a little. Although it's true that Alice does hate you, or doesn't like you, hating you is not the reason why she avoided facing you directly...probably." Illya corrected uncertainly.

"When someone fell asleep, she came many times." Zhenbai nodded and said.
