Shut up, brave man! I don't want to atone for my sins to you!

Lacey suddenly smiled.

"There will always be a chance," she said to Mura, "when the situation in Lentiheim stabilizes and the new elves are able to take over from you, maybe then you can retire and try to become a watchmaker."

Mula nodded and smiled at her:

"I will, Miss Witch. Thank you for your advice, and I wish you two a safe journey after you leave Lentiheim."

Rachel gladly accepted Mura's blessing.

Although she hadn't decided where to go after leaving Lentiheim.

And Charles nodded.

But at this moment he seemed to have thought of something, so he reached into his pocket and carefully took something out -

A pocket watch.

A well-preserved pocket watch that is still in normal operation and looks very familiar.

Charles handed the pocket watch to Mula.

"Now, the property is returned to its original owner," he said.

Mla was obviously a little surprised.

He instinctively raised his hand, wanting to take the pocket watch that represented his dream, but for some reason, his hand stopped in mid-air.

He shook his head.

"No, I am no longer its owner."

The elf said, looking at the hero with burning eyes:

"I've heard that those bards from the outside world, those travelers who vowed to travel across the entire Pangaea, would try to get a souvenir representing that place every time they went to a place to show that they had been there."

"I can't think of what the souvenir representing Lentiheim is, but I plan to give you this pocket watch. In this way, perhaps it can prove that you and Miss Witch have been here, and you and Miss Witch have witnessed--"

"You two have witnessed the rebirth of our race and our civilization."

"After this, you two will become its new owners. It and the lantern given to you by the Archon will accompany you on your journey. No matter where you two will end up and what adventures you will face, from now on, you two will be our elves' eternal friends."

Mla's expression was serious.

Lacie and Charles' expressions were equally serious.

A certain wonderful atmosphere and a certain wonderful emotion infected them, making them regard this farewell as something very important.

So Charles lowered his head and looked at the pocket watch in his hand, clenched it tightly, and promised Mulla seriously:

"I understand, Mr. Mula, I will protect it."

"I believe in your promise, Mr. Brave."

Mura answered without a doubt.

At this moment, a soft buzzing sound suddenly came from all around.

The teleportation array stopped working.

They returned to the ground.

Charles pushed Lacie, who was sitting in a wheelchair. The two of them slowly walked a distance away, then stopped and looked back.

The giant tree called Lentiheim still stood silently as they had when they arrived, and the elves' city-state was still hidden above the tree's crown.

Nothing seems to have changed, yet everything seems to have undergone tremendous changes.

And under the giant tree and the city-state, Mula waved to them.

"goodbye!"

He said.

"Goodbye."

Subconsciously, the hero and the witch answered.

[To be continued]

1/3

Charles didn't find pushing the wheelchair troublesome at all.

But Lacey had a different opinion from him.

Who would want to sit in a wheelchair if they could walk normally? Anyway, Lacie didn't want to be pushed around.

It's a pity that her legs haven't recovered yet. She walks with a limp and can't walk far. On the other hand, Charles couldn't even get out of bed two days ago, but now he is full of energy and doesn't seem to have any problems.

It made Lacie want to take over Charles' body.

Hehehe! A valuable body!

You should know that there are many forbidden spells in the White Tower's collection that can take over other people's bodies. As long as Lacele goes to Old Deng and acts coquettishly, Old Deng will turn a blind eye and let her take away the forbidden spells.

At that time, Lacele will be able to take over Charles' body and drive Charles' soul into her current weak body.

So the offensive and defensive positions changed.

Charles liquidated her?

wrong!

Then it will be her turn to settle accounts with Charles!

But these probably only exist in fantasy time. Even if she really got the forbidden spell of taking over another body from Lao Deng, she probably wouldn't be able to do anything in the face of Charles' forbidden spell.

It truly is the most rogue spell among all known spells.

Lacey couldn't help grinding her teeth when she thought of this.

Ciel's mastery of forbidden magic is far inferior to that of previous heroes, but even so, he can easily kill most of the spellcasters in the continent - this is the confidence that forbidden magic brings to previous heroes. Fortunately, all previous heroes are good people without exception, otherwise...

Otherwise, the heroes might really shock all the casters of forbidden magic in the entire Pan-Continent.

Lacey had felt this shock.

When she was still in the brave team, she witnessed Charles defeating an evil wizard.

Any type of spell was torn apart like a bubble, just like Moses parting the Red Sea, and the man holding the holy sword silently walked out of the colorful light and shadow. Relying on his strong body, he appeared in front of the evil wizard in the blink of an eye, and with just a swing of the sword, he easily turned the wizard who was trying to struggle to death into a cold corpse without life.

The whole process takes three breaths.

Of course, if it were her turn, she would definitely be able to last longer.

At least half a day!

Because she and Charles had just started a fight, and Charles would probably have to kneel down and beg her not to die.

——Laceline called this conquering the enemy without fighting.

but……

Miss Witch suddenly felt a little confused. She turned her head, glanced at Charles, and couldn't help asking:

"Speaking of which, I'm very curious, Ciel, how did your heroes of each generation inherit the tradition? How come every hero is a good person? Aren't you afraid that the forbidden spell will fall into the hands of someone with bad intentions?"

This question seemed difficult for Charles to answer.

So after a while, Lacier heard Charles's slightly dull voice:

"The Holy Sword will find the right person. Only those who are recognized by the Holy Sword can be called heroes."

"What about forbidden magic? And strong bodies, who gave these things to the heroes of all generations?"

"…It's also a holy sword."

"what?"

"The holy sword will grant a strong body and forbidden magic to those it recognizes. Then, the one who holds the holy sword will be called a brave man."

Lacey was stunned:

"You mean, the holy sword is alive?"

However, to her surprise, Charles' answer was:

"I do not know."

Lacey was a little confused when she heard this.

What does "I don't know" mean? Ciel is the only hero in the world, if he doesn't know, who else could know?

But after waiting for a long time, she still didn't get any explanation, and Charles didn't seem to want to continue the topic.

Perhaps it was because if they continued, it would involve the secrets of the heroes of past generations?

Lacey was also tactful and did not continue to ask questions. Instead, she suddenly said to herself:

"If you don't want to tell me, then forget it, but..."

She paused, and her tone suddenly became serious:

"Although you may not want to believe it, I do have a way to help you revive Miss Pastor."

However, all she got was silence.

Perhaps when she faced her crazy mother, the way she dropped her little pearls and apologized had completely wiped out her little remaining credibility.

Even Lacie felt so ashamed when she recalled the scene at that time that she wished she could find a piece of tofu to beat herself to death.

Why cry!

There is nothing to cry about!

If Charles wants to die, then let him die. Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere on the street?

What's more, compared to men, she really prefers sweet and soft beautiful girls.

So shameful! Shameful!

Laceel's face turned red, but it didn't matter! Anyway, she was sitting in a wheelchair, with her back to Charles, and no matter how red she blushed, Charles couldn't see her face.

So she continued:

"Of course, I... I tricked you into collecting materials before because I wanted you to pay me back, so I apologize to you."

"But putting that aside, I really do have a way to revive Miss Pastor, and I can even prove it to you!"

Charles finally reacted when he heard this.

"Prove it?" he whispered. "What do you want to prove to me?"

Lacele couldn't tell any emotion from Charles' voice. He seemed neither angry nor confused, and his tone was unusually calm.

Oh no, maybe Charles has already started to doubt her identity!

In this case, she must find a way to make Charles understand as soon as possible that she can really resurrect the priest.

Then Lacey said:

"I have a way for you to see Miss Reverend!"

Hearing this, Charles finally had a different reaction - he stopped, and the wheelchair he was pushing also stopped.

"What you said..." The man's voice was like the tide, rising rapidly and then falling quickly. After the tide receded, a bit of bitterness was exposed, "...Is it true?"

Lacey was happy.

That's it?

He looked calm and composed just now, but now he is confused and helpless.

Love-brain is terrible, fortunately she is not.

Of course, despite the ridicule, Lacele still told Charles:

"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? But..."

She sold it out.
