Chapter 1033 The True Ash
Matthew and Eckert looked at each other for a while, then nodded slowly to show that they had understood.
Including Habe, everyone fell silent.
No one talks anymore.
However, everyone's expressions were not very happy.
"I want to be quiet."
Ash stood up.
After leaving these words, she walked into the distance.
Halfway through, she suddenly turned her head again.
"Jiang Li, come with me."
Then, she walked into the darkness.
"Don't worry, I will help her."
Jiang Li also stood up, left these words to Eckert and the others, and followed Ash's pace to catch up.
"well."
Eckert sighed, his face full of despair.
Among them, except for the bottomless ash, no one can be right with the world.
Apart from Jiang Li, no one else could help Ash.
He, an old guy who has fought side by side with Ash for two thousand years, is not as good as a boy from the future who has just been with Ash for half a year.
Of course he didn't despise Jiang Li.
It's just that he feels even more dissatisfied with his own powerlessness!
Under the night.
Ash and Jiang Li left the camp successively and entered the endless grassland.
"The four wars in spring, summer, autumn and winter predicted by the priestess have already happened three times in spring, summer and autumn, but the winter war has not yet happened."
Ash stopped in the starless and moonless darkness, turned around and looked at Jiang Li.
"I want to ask you, in the future of your time period, did the Winter War happen?"
After thinking about it, she couldn't figure out what the priestess' prophecy was referring to.
Thinking that there are people from the future beside her, she thought of borrowing knowledge from the future.
"Winter's War... It was the first year of the AD, that is, 400 years later, the goblin named Morgan returned from Onik, conquered the four clans of Fengtuyawing, and became the queen who ruled Britain for 2,000 years."
Jiang Li glanced at Ash with a complicated expression.
"Queen Morgan is also known as the 'Queen of Winter' because of her unkind rule."
at this moment.
Jiang Li has never felt so clearly that all this is like a farce.
The sneer from the unstoppable historical torrent echoed in my ears very clearly.
The cry of the island.
The cry of the world.
In the past six months, as if calling him deliberately, the wailing sound kept echoing in his ears.
"That's it..."
Ash moved his lower lip.
He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
She raised her head, and her distant gaze fell on the endless sea in the north.
Even in the dark night, the silver-white giant tree with an indeterminate height still stands at the end of the horizon for thousands of years.
That is the fantasy tree.
Unlike the withered and burned state after 2400, the fantasy tree of this era is still growing vigorously.
This tree is also called the world tree here, bearing many beliefs and worship.
"Actually, I don't intend to save all elves and humans anymore."
Ash spoke abruptly.
Those words made Jiang Li pause slightly.
"I told you before that after helping the goblins to resolve their disputes, you will return to sleep in the coffin, right?"
"That's actually a lie. I haven't been back in the coffin since I settled the disputes among the fairies 2600 years ago. The reason why I disappeared from time to time is because I was exiled by the fairies."
"They instinctively hate the goblins in Paradise. No matter what I do, how many times I rescue them, I can't get their thanks even once. After solving disputes and disasters every time, what awaits me is never the cheers of the people. It's about repelling and assassinating."
"Assassination, hostage threat, deception... Counting them in detail, I have experienced all the killing methods except for poisoning, which I have experienced from goblins."
Jiang Li remained silent.
I'm sorry he really couldn't understand this feeling.
Every time I try my best to help and save all the goblins and humans from the fire and water, but every time I get betrayal!
Obviously they have done their utmost kindness, and the goblins are not grateful, but instead turned their swords against each other!
If it were Jiang Li, when he was betrayed for the first time, he probably couldn't help but kill all the rotten people who swung knives at him.
But Ash showed up again and again, again and again, to help them settle their disputes and solve the great crisis that threatened the whole of Britain—the disaster.
As a result, after everything was resolved, it was still in the same situation as last time.
Repelled, blamed, hunted down.
The next time the goblins were in crisis, they showed up again.
The cycle repeats countless times.
Never was thanked, never once had trust.
All the efforts have turned into dreams, like fog and dreams, disappearing in the other side of time.
"But you're still protecting Britain, aren't you?"
Jiang Li asked back.
This is what Jiang Li admires the most, and what makes him feel worthless to her the most.
Obviously being hurt every time, but I still stand up every time.
If it were him, if he asked himself, he would not be able to do this.
"I am indeed protecting Britain, but only to protect Britain."
Ash shook his head and smiled wryly.
"For me, as long as Britain is still there, it doesn't matter whether the creatures on it are humans, elves, or nothing at all."
"The reason why the goblins are protected is because if you want this Britain to survive, you must keep the goblins alive as much as possible. I just understand this truth... So I chose to make friends after fighting alone for a thousand years. Companion, intervene in the dispute between fairies."
From the very beginning, Ash only wanted to protect Britain.
During the thousand years from the 4000 year of the fairy calendar to the 3000 year of the fairy calendar, she has been fighting alone, defeating nine small disasters and solving one major disaster.
At that time, she never thought of solving the disputes among the goblins.
That was not only for the expansion of the British Isles, but also because Ash didn't care about the lives of the goblins!
It wasn't until the 3000th year of the fairy calendar that she finally realized one thing.
If you want to protect Britain, you must protect the goblins.
Otherwise, sooner or later this Britain will be over.
After understanding this, Ash began to intervene in the disputes among the goblins, and recruited Grimm, Eckert, and Habemeow as companions, appearing, being persecuted, and reappearing again and again.
"For me, the goblins are just props to maintain Britain, and you are my real companions."
"The reason why Britain is protected is because this is the only place where I can live, so I have given humans the right to build kingdoms, which is obviously something that is not allowed in the history of pan-humanity... In essence, even Uther has been ruled by me. Take advantage of it."
"I'm not a savior at all. I'm a witch. I don't even have a goblin who believes in me, understands me, appreciates me, and helps me. Sad witch!"
