Chapter 195

[Detecting a max-level player, connecting—]

Lana heard a tinkling sound in his ears, and the sound seemed to be without any emotion.

He opened his eyes and found himself in a huge transparent sphere.

Myself...where am I?

Lanner felt empty inside, and he seemed to know what he was looking for, so he tried hard to recall what had happened before.

Those images flashed through his mind quickly.

He has been to many places and met many people. He held the silver-white holy sword in his hand and killed many monsters.

But these memories are closely connected with a young girl.

A black-haired girl stood on a high place and glanced at him.

Struggle, sorrow and determination flashed in her eyes.

After one glance, her soul seemed to be pulled out of her body, and her whole body fell backwards.

Lana felt her heart tighten, and subconsciously rushed forward, stretching out her arms toward her, wanting to catch her...

But it came back empty-handed.

“…”

Lanna opened her eyes.

"Lianyun."

Lana lowered her eyes slightly and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips.

"I want to see her."

[Beep—Connection successful!]

[Lv.99 player detected——Lanna]

"Hello, because the server is about to initiate a self-destruction process, the accounts of players at the maximum level will be reclaimed and compensation will be provided."

For some reason, even without explaining, Lana could guess that the other party was the one who had been communicating with Lian Yun through the air.

Lian Yun would often stop and talk to herself in the void. Lana didn't know what she was doing, but always stood by and waited patiently.

Before "leaving", Lian Yun also said his last words to the air.

"The following is a Q&A session that can answer some of the players' questions."

Lanna understood this. He quickly calmed down and asked his first question:

"Is she...Lian Yun okay?"

"If you were asking the last Lord, I would answer: Yes, she has returned to her own world."

Lanner clenched his fists.

"My own world?"

"Yes. She is an ordinary woman from another world."

She is not ordinary.

Lanna said in his heart.

"Will I ever see her again?"

Lana felt his heart pounding as he asked this question.

"Our system has a compensation policy for max-level players. If you want to use this compensation in exchange for a chance to meet her, we can do it."

Lana held back the "OK" that was about to come out of her mouth.

"When you say 'chance', do you mean just meeting once?"

“You have a choice.”

Lana: "You mean, I can stay in the world where she is?"

"Yes, if you need, we can directly create a body for you that is exactly the same as your original body, and also come with a normal ID."

Lanna said without hesitation: "I need it."

The system paused: "This requires the destruction of your body in the original world."

"Sure." Lanna answered decisively.

"Friendly reminder, in another world, your lifespan will be modified to the normal level of that world."

"Can."

"It's all right." Lanna's voice trembled slightly.

"As long as I can see her, even if she doesn't remember me, even if I can only watch her from afar...it's all fine."

"OK."

"Body shaping takes about a month, please be patient."

"Lana, I bought it back." Lian Yun unlocked the door and entered. Lanna in the kitchen heard the sound and immediately ran out, took the vinegar from Lian Yun's hand, and gave her a big hug.

Lian Yun's eyebrows curved: "You made delicious food again."

Lana held Lian Yun in her arms and let go reluctantly after a long time.

"It will be ready soon, go and rest first."

Lanner placed a kiss on her forehead, his eyes full of tenderness and satisfaction: "Are you tired?"

"What's so tiring about collecting rent?"

Lian Yun found it funny, but his heart was filled with happiness.

Lanna returned to the kitchen and had just finished arranging the braised prawns on the plate when she suddenly heard Lian Yun's question:

"Where did this book come from?"

Lana brought the last dish to the table, took off her apron, and came to Lianyun.

Lian Yun, who was sitting on the sofa, was holding a booklet with an classical cover, which looked a bit like an atlas in size.

Lana sat down next to Lian Yun, "...Looks a little familiar."

"It looks familiar to me," Lian Yun said, "but I don't remember owning such a book."

"Open it and take a look."

Lian Yun nodded and then opened the cover.

The moment they saw the content, they were both stunned.

Because the small words above are emerging line by line.

"I don't know what to do. I love him very much, but why is he a magician..."

"I met with his family."

"He has a younger brother, a twin brother, but his brother doesn't seem to like me very much."

"No, his brother is also very bad to this brother. Yes, his brother hates us..."

These small golden characters are beautiful, elegant and neat.

But soon, these words disappeared, replaced by small words that seemed to be written more hastily -

"Why can't we be together? I gave up my position as the elder of the blood clan, and he gave up his position as the president of the Magician Association to his younger brother..."

"No, maybe this is the wrong choice."

"So that's how it is."

"He and his brother are both descendants of super magicians. Normally, a super magician will only give birth to one offspring to inherit the bloodline, but he and his brother are exceptions."

"Not only does he possess more magical abilities, he also suppressed his brother's bloodline."

"As long as his magic remains, his brother won't be able to use magic."

"Now we have a child... my Lanna, our baby. You have inherited your father's magical bloodline. I'm sorry, but we can't hide from him."

"My baby, you must live."

"Please keep living, even if you don't know why... but you will eventually find out."

"Just like your father and I didn't know why we lived before we met each other."

The golden words end here.

It is obvious who wrote these "diaries".

Lanna never expected that he would "meet" his mother in this way and learn about his life experience that he had been searching for.

So, the person he pierced with his sword was not his father, but his uncle, his father's twin brother.

Because of his father's existence, his uncle's bloodline was suppressed, which resulted in his uncle being unable to display his true strength.

There must be some reason that made the uncle feel hatred. Even if Lanna's vampire mother and super magician father died together, it could not fill the hatred, and it would be transferred to Lanna.

This is also why Lanna has been moved from one household to another since he was a child. Most of the families there have been people who have received favors from his parents, and they want to protect the child that the interracial couple tried so hard to keep.

Lian Yun looked at the man beside him and held his hand.

Fingers clasped together.

Lana lowered her head slightly and met Lian Yun's gaze.

Neither of them spoke, their eyes focused on the booklet again.

The small words on it have disappeared completely.

This time the words appeared slowly and were more childish.

"July 22nd. I have to say, my brother is really smart. He thought of using sandfish surfing to develop tourism!"

"August 11th. Luo discovered a new color today. Luo's eyes have recovered. His color sense is truly amazing!"

"This color is so beautiful. Many people in this town have painted their walls and furniture with this color, but Lina didn't. She said she wanted to keep traces of Master Lianyun and the others..."

"September 9th. Both Master Lianyun and Master Lanna disappeared, and everyone was very sad. I admit that I didn't like Master Lanna at first because he was very fierce, but later I found out that he was actually a very nice person."

"If Master Lianyun were here, he would definitely be very happy to see how great the town is now..."

"Master Lianyun is my favorite person, but I won't tell you that I cried secretly several times."

"We all thought they were not dead, so no one wanted to cry. But when I went to find Lina, I heard she was still crying."

"Fortunately, Xiaobai and the birds are there to keep her company."

“…”

There are more than a dozen diary entries, spanning a whole year.

Lian Yun raised his head: "This is..."

"Hera." Lana nodded, confirming Lian Yun's guess.

So, they had Hera's diary in their hands.

Lian Yun and Lan Na picked out a few pieces of information that were obvious to read, and roughly understood that the town had now developed a tourism industry, and that study groups sent by various races came to visit and learn about the town's new technologies.

Today's magicians no longer have attribute magic. If they want to find employment again, they must learn how to combine magic and technology. The elves, who have lost their infinite healing abilities, also have to return to their old ways and plan to grow herbs on a large scale and learn medical knowledge.

Fortunately, no race has any objection to the loss of special attributes. Even the two saviors sacrificed their lives in exchange for peace on the continent. They know how to be grateful.

Lian Yun and Lan Na read Hera's diary word by word until the last page.

The last page was dated a year after they left.

The two looked at each other.

The timeline in this diary is different from the one they have here.

So they didn't know whether Hera had stopped writing in her diary or had just finished writing it not long ago.

The two thought about it for a long time and decided that no matter what, they would give it a try first.

So they wrote in their diary:

[Hera, I'm Lian Yun. If you can see this, please reply to me.]

The diary was spread out on the table. The two of them had not gone out all day, and they could not help but glance at the coffee table no matter what they were doing.

During dinner, Sister Chen from across the street came to give her a small cake she had made herself. Lin Mo and Lan Na also gave her the bouquet they had bought today. When they returned to the living room and put the small cake aside, their eyes were all focused on the diary...

Because words are constantly emerging on it, the flamboyant handwriting expresses the excitement of the person holding the pen.

[End of full text]

--------------------

The author has something to say:

The ending was delayed for a long time because I always felt that this book had many shortcomings and I didn’t know how to end it.

But this ending was what I had in mind from the beginning, but I always wanted to express it better, so I kept putting it off.

Regardless, this is an ending I'm very satisfied with.

Great perfection yyds!

Thank you for your company along the way, Lianyun, Lana, Lina, Hera... and you and me in front of the screen, we will all grow up slowly.

See you again if we are lucky.
