It was not difficult to appease the family. Father and mother had long known that they could not see through Hecate's abilities, so they were not surprised when Hecate did these things without telling them.

Hearing that Hecate had returned safely, neither of them said anything, but just gave Hecate a deep hug.

After the mother and father were reincarnated, they both looked quite beautiful and handsome, but because elves grow slowly, they were over a hundred years old but still looked like little Shao Ge.

After reuniting with her father and mother, Hecate came to the country of ice and snow in the north.

The snow here is still fierce. After Hecate disappeared, Wirtz returned to the world of ice and snow. Without Hecate, it was a meaningless place for her, so she returned to the world of ice and snow.

She watched the falling snow day after day, and the loneliness in her heart grew day by day. She had lived on the snow with nothing for hundreds of years before, and the feeling of loneliness was not very strong. But within a few days of moving here, she felt the unbearable loneliness pressing down on her like a mountain.

When Hecate found Wiltz, she was sitting alone in front of an icy lake, in a daze.

She was wearing very thin clothes, and her long black hair was loose, covered with snow in the biting snow, almost turning it into a dark red.

At her feet, there were several novels. They were the novels she had written in the past hundred years, all written during the long wait and loneliness. There was no trace of Xing in these novels, but they were full of remembrance of Xing.

Hecate appeared quietly not far behind her.

She didn't approach immediately.

Because she clearly felt how oppressive the atmosphere around Wiltz was, as if a huge hole appeared in the depths of her soul, swallowing up everything around her, her emotions, her feelings, her thoughts, her memories...

This sadness, more than Betty and Priya's anger, than Yi's teacher's reproach, than Natasha's pain, made her heart ache.

This is not to say that Betty and the others missed her less than Wiltz did, but Wiltz chose to hide all these emotions, buried them deep in his heart, and endured them alone. This feeling is very bad.

"Wilts..." Hecate's voice was very light, with a barely perceptible tremor.

Wilds' dazed back suddenly froze.

She didn't turn around, she didn't dare to look back at the person she was obsessed with, fearing that she was just dreaming. After a long while, she said in a very hoarse voice, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time: "...You're back?"

There was no surprise in that voice, only deep fatigue and an almost mocking silence.

Hecate walked up to her and imitated her, sitting on the shore of the frozen lake with his legs dangling over the icy blue lake. There was an ice hole not far away, and it was obvious that Wiltz often went fishing here.

She turned her head and looked at the profile of Wirtz. The face that was once full of smiles and indifference was now filled with haggardness and a dead silence.

"I'm back, Wiltz," Hecate repeated.

Wiltz finally turned his head and looked at her.

Her eyes, those eyes that were once like black gems and filled with the stars in the night sky, were now dim and lifeless, with only bottomless fatigue and... scrutiny.

She looked Hecate up and down, her eyes so sharp that it seemed to pierce Hecate through.

"You made a great wish... saved countless worlds... became the hope in the hearts of countless people... the great witch of the stars." Wiltz's voice was very soft, but every word was like an ice cone. Then he chuckled and said, "You succeeded. Congratulations, Hecate Noa Te Kalans."
