Chapter 246

Jie made an inference, "The gem insect mother feeds on gems and gold. Looking at the gem insect mother cuticles covering the entire hall outside, it must have devoured quite a lot of treasures, because no one has ever come to this ruins, so It can only obtain the nutrients it needs for growth and reproduction by swallowing gold, gems and other things here.”

"Well, that's most likely true."

Then, Ai comforted Shutarke, "Don't be so frustrated. Think about it, we can't take all the money anyway. Even if the gem insect mother doesn't eat that part of the treasure, it has nothing to do with us. "

"I know...but I still feel it's a pity..."

"Lord Shytark is really troublesome."

If all the treasures here can be taken away, then the assets of Ai and others may instantly exceed the entire wealth of some famous wealthy businessmen or nobles.

However, they all only took a small part from here, at most a few beautiful gems, regardless of their value.

Whether it was the gold coins on the ground or the gems in front of him, Ai didn't even look at them. Instead, he took away some of the magic tools, magic materials and magic books.

The four people in the team are basically the type who don't care much about money.

The Brave Simmel Team is the team that has explored the most ruins in the world. If they are willing, they can easily obtain more money than they can use in their lifetime... In addition to Fulillian and Ash, these two's 'lifetime' Overgrown.

However, none of the five people in the team lived a wealthy life, and their money was just "just enough".

Although she was a hero who defeated the Demon King, Fulian still helped with some farm work and defeated monsters during her travels due to lack of money. The cabin where Simmel and others lived in for their retirement was also a slightly crude cabin. ...At least it seems a bit crude compared to their identities.

It can only be said that these people do not have such a strong need for so-called money.

He tapped the ground with his staff, and a mirror that seemed to be made of water appeared in front of him. He threw all the gains in his hands into it, then put away the water mirror and walked toward the door.

Behind her, there were piles of gems and gold everywhere, but they couldn't attract her attention. Her steps were brisk and firm.

"Phelan, Shutarke, have you finished taking it?"

"Yes, Lord Ash."

"...Where did Fulilian go?"

Feilun was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed.

Looking in the direction of Fei Lun's finger, what caught Ash's eyes was a treasure chest with teeth and a lower body that was very familiar to Ash.

"It's so dark——! It's so scary——!"

Ash: "..."

With an extremely weird expression, Ae was silent for a while, and then said to Feilun.

"How about we just leave Fulian here and leave?"

"Master Qi, please don't joke."

Then, in order to free Fulian from the mouth of "Anti-Fulillian's Noble Phantasm - Mimic", Fearon began to desperately pull on Frilian's exposed legs.

"Master Qi, it seems to be of no use."

Unfortunately, it had little effect.

So Fei Lun turned his attention to Qie who had been watching the show for help.

"Phelan, it's useless because you didn't use the right method."

Ai calmly said to Feilun with the attitude of a very experienced senior: "In a situation like this where you really can't pull it out, you should push Fulilian inside, and then the Mimic Monster I won’t bite so hard anymore because I want to vomit.”

"So are Mimics the same animals as dogs?"

A few minutes later...

"Phew... saved."

Frilian, whose upper body was covered with Mimic saliva, knelt on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief at escaping. However, the Mimic was killed by Ash when it spat out Frilian.

Due to the saliva on her body, Fulian's hair became messy. Fearon couldn't stand it and quickly came over and wiped it with a towel.

"Lord Fulilian, how did you handle this situation when you were traveling alone before?"

"I can use attack magic to blast it from the inside, but it's annoying that my hair always gets blown into curls."

"So this is why you changed your hairstyle last time..."

After wiping, it was time to comb. It felt like Philon was very used to taking care of Fulilian.

At this time, Qie's voice sounded.

"Flillian, go on."

Fulilian subconsciously raised her hand, and then a silver ring fell on her palm.

After staring blankly at the mirror lotus ring for a long time, Fulilian raised her head and looked at Ai.

"Actually, you don't have to work so hard to get it back. Anyway, I got more than this from Simmel. It doesn't matter even if I lose it..."

"Sluggish, you overly slow elf, do you think I got it back just for you?"

Qie looked solemn, "This contains very important memories...both for you and for me."

"Maybe it will be lost sooner or later, but that doesn't mean I will give up looking for it."

He scratched his head irritably, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

"Do you guys know what the flower language of the mirror lotus is?"

"Mirror Lotus? Do you mean the flower above?"

"Fulillian, you don't even know what kind of flowers are on this?"

Facing the three confused expressions, Qie couldn't help but feel tired and said: "Listen carefully, the flower language of the mirror lotus is 'eternal love', and it is usually a gift for lovers."

After hearing this, Feilun frowned slightly and looked at Shutarke with surprised eyes.

"Lord Shytark?"

"I, I...I don't know! It's a misunderstanding! Do you think I know the language of flowers or something?!"

When Hugh Talk explained this, the expression on Fearon's face suddenly became even more ugly.

"...That's right. After all, Mr. Shutark is a fool."

"More venomous than usual?!"

...You two should date each other quickly! !

"This is the first time I've heard of that kind of thing, but so what?"

Fulilian still looked nonchalant, "Anyway, Simmel certainly didn't know anything about the flower language of the mirror lotus at that time."

"..."

Ash stared at Fulilian wordlessly, then stretched out his hand and rubbed Fulilian's head hard.

"Lord Ashes, you messed up Frillian-sama's hair."

Fearon grumbled dissatisfiedly.

After touching the top of her head, Fulian looked at Ash in confusion.

"Ai, are you angry with me?"

"No, I'm angry with myself."

How could that brave man who loves flowers not know the meaning of this flower...

But she couldn't say it... She didn't have the qualifications to replace a brave man and say what he had never said himself.

Silent and with a wry smile, Ash rubbed Fulilian's head hard again, but Fulilian didn't resist, letting her hair styled by Feilun just now become messy under Ash's palm.

For some reason, the bitter smile on Ash's face made Fulilian feel a little bit familiar.

It was as if, not too long ago, she had seen a similar expression.

…

"Fulillian, you have worked very hard on this commissioned crusade. As a reward, please pick one you like from here."

"Jewelry... If you take me to a magic shop, I will be happier..."

It was a random move, and Fulian picked out the mirror lotus ring from a pile of inexpensive jewelry.

"Then let's take this."

"It's so fast. Please be careful when choosing..."

Reaching out to take the ring from Fulian's hand, Simmel suddenly fell silent.

"……What's wrong?"

"……fine."

At that time, a smile appeared on Simmel's face that Fulian couldn't understand at that time.

It's a bitter smile that makes people's hearts ache.

But... Fulilian at that time couldn't understand the emotion contained in that smile at all.

After the shop owner said "Thank you for your patronage", the two left side by side and walked towards the setting sun.

"Flillian."

"Huh? Thank you..."

Fulilian thought that Simmel was going to hand the ring to her, so she raised her hand nonchalantly.

Simmel raised his head, and the afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the gentle smile on his face.

It seems to be relieved, it seems to be free and easy.

The hair moved slightly and the cloak flew.

Witnessed by Higurashi and Clock, Simmel knelt down on one knee in front of Fulian and put the ring on her with his own hands.

The dusk was heavy, and time seemed to be stretched infinitely at this moment.

[Kneel down on one knee and put a ring on Fulian's ring finger. The slow elf looked stunned, but Simmel knew in his heart that this was the only confession in his life. 】

[As a brave man, Simmel can give Fulilian almost everything she wants, including wealth, status and even love, but Fulilian chose the unbloomed mirror lotus ring. The meaning of this ring is eternal companionship. It was the only thing Simmel could not promise to Fulian. 】

[But he still knelt down on one knee without hesitation. Simmel, when you put this ring on this elf’s ring finger, were you lamenting your short life, or were you trying your best to hide your raging love? What do you mean? 】

The figure in the corner put down the pen, closed the book, and imprinted the scene not far away in his heart.

From this angle, you can just see the clock standing between Simmel and Fulian, as if to imply that the thing that separates them is time itself.

Let me start by saying that Zi's sexual orientation has not changed and she has always liked girls... But at this moment when she witnessed this beautiful and sad scene, she actually had to admit that Xinmel was indeed somewhat charming.

Ever since she met Simmel, she had been thinking of ways to extend Simmel's life so that he could be with Fulilian.

But she couldn't do it.

When the magic didn't work, she thought of the savior sword she had obtained in the world of "God Killer".

The Divine Sword of Salvation has collected the weapons of the gods, and there is indeed a way to extend lifespan... but it can only extend lifespan.

Even if Simmel's lifespan is extended for thousands of years, his soul will not be able to resist the erosion of thousands of years. Even the divine tools of the gods cannot protect Simmel's soul for that long. After all, in this world, the gods The divine tools cannot be blessed by myths.

It has nothing to do with the strength of willpower. It is absolutely impossible for the human soul to persist for thousands of years.

In this world, the longer the lifespan of creatures, the weaker their emotions. The lack of emotion is actually an important reason why these immortal species can not be eroded by time.

If Simmel's lifespan is forcibly extended, there are only two final consequences, either Simmel loses all emotions, or his soul collapses.

In that case, it would be better to stay as we are now and leave everything to Simmel.

Glancing at the gradually dimming sky, Ai murmured to himself.

"The love letter written in this life is the longest confession of love in the world... O slow elf, when will you be able to understand this love letter? And when will... be able to see your own heart clearly? Woolen cloth?"

…

29 years after the death of the brave Simmel.

Ash and others finally arrived in the magical city of Oisasd.

"That's it, Hugh Tucker and I will go find a hotel, and Ai and Feilun will go to the association to sign up for the first-level magic exam."

After saying that, regardless of whether the other people agreed or not, Fulilian turned around and left without hesitation.

Then she was grabbed by a hand on the back of Destiny's neck.

"Stop being stupid, you have to come with us."

"Lord Frilian really has no interest in first-level magicians at all."
