After the triumphal ceremony, Arge and his three companions discussed for a long time and finally made a decision.

They put everything they knew about the story between Elansno, Lannuo and Lanxia in the most solemn announcement of the Human Alliance.

Without any personal feelings, it is narrated in the most ordinary tone, and the words are extremely plain, but every line is written with "irreparable" and "regret".

[…I’m dumbfounded. The authorities aren’t making up stories, right?]

[Ellen Snow was not... that day]

[There is no chance of survival in a storm deep in the aurora.]

[Fuck dog coin Roshi! ]

[……]

After the incident was settled, Alger and his four companions returned to Xiguang and re-erected the monument.

Because teacher Lan Xia's ashes were taken away, this place has been empty, and it is convenient for reconstruction. The place they originally chose seemed a bit too big, so this time they changed to a smaller open space.

The soil is very good and suitable for growing flowers and grass, which is in line with the teacher's idea of ​​setting aside a piece of land here to grow violets.

They went to the southern region to look for it, but only found the computer left behind by Elansno, but did not find the seed that was left behind.

It was clearly once cherished by two people, but it just disappeared in the vast snowfield and could not be found again. Perhaps it was buried in the aurora.

In fact, now it seems that whether this tombstone is erected or not, apart from missing him, it does not seem to have any special meaning, because that person has already chosen the resting place for him and his brother.

There are only a few simple words engraved on the newly erected tombstone.

[The Tomb of Lanxia, ​​Lannuo, and Elansnuo]

Nothing else is needed, just this simplicity is good enough. These three names are already profound enough, enough to make people stop and stand still.

In front of the tombstone, there is a thick stone book, on which is written a long story that cannot be blown away by the wind or erased by the rain. Perhaps, a long time later, when it is passed down by word of mouth and told by some old people to children, it will become a less sad fairy tale.

"We've been looking for a long time, but we still can't find Violet." Alger whispered.

The area around the tomb was lush and green, with many wisterias planted. However, the temperature in the northwest star region was relatively cold, so the wisterias did not bloom, making the tomb look a bit lonely.

Shoubing said: "I'm sorry, teacher. As students, have we let you down?"

Lian Yao thought, if he could get the news earlier...

if.

If the teacher had not died and recognized Ellan Snow, these things would not have happened.

After the war, the two brothers will leave here, travel around the continent, search every corner, looking for that dreamy purple. They may be disappointed, but they will always be happy during the journey.

But no one answered them anymore.

Jin Daiqi silently placed a bouquet of flowers and looked up at the sky.

She always felt that maybe the teacher had already met his brother and might be angry and sad, but also...would he be happy?

The four of them stayed in the City of Dawn for a long time.

The Human Alliance is now renewed, everything is good, and politics are handled the same everywhere.

Until a few days later.

An uninvited guest came to the City of Dawn.

The long-awaited sound of artillery fire directly blew away the gate of Xiguang Inner City. No one knew where the shell came from. There was only a sharp bang, and a small gray flying ship crashed into the place where Alger and four others lived like it was committing suicide!

But before the collision, the flying ship suddenly turned a corner and braked suddenly, crashing into the wall, causing thick smoke to rise and knocking down a large area.

The alarm sounded instantly, and the soldiers thought it was a terrorist attack and immediately surrounded the place.

Alger brought people out to have a look. He frowned, thinking that this small flying ship looked very familiar. He stretched out his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be patient.

Soon there was a noise from the rubble, and a man with messy hair and frighteningly red eyes jumped out. He dragged a two-man-high Starry Night missile that could raze the place to the ground, and said in a hoarse voice: "...Where is the admiral?"

It's Nieliang.

He lost all his dignity and showed his crazy look without any scruples.

Who could have known that he had just come out of the Arctic Star Region and arrived at a populated area, and found a store to buy a new optical computer and learn about the current situation of the Federation, but he was told -

No more federation?!

The old man in the store looked down on him for his tattered clothes and gave him the worst computer: "Yes, there are no more Federation and Anti-Federation elements now, only the Human Alliance! The Zerg are our enemy!"

Zerg? Human Alliance?

Nie Liang was confused by the unfamiliar words. He seemed to wonder if he had remembered the time wrongly and had stayed in the Arctic Star Region for many years.

He took out his card and bought the most sensitive optical computer, and quickly went to the Star Network to browse the information he wanted. The first thing he searched was Ellan Snow's name. He was excited and happy when he searched, but the content that popped up was -

The death of Ellen Snow.

Elan Snow and Lanno.

Ellen Snow died in an aurora storm.

Ellen Snow's medical examination report.

Was Elansno ever forced/imprisoned/imprisoned by Xiguang?

The news on StarNet was complicated and false, and he didn't believe it, but someone played a video for him.

A video of the admiral walking into the aurora.

…

Nie Liang bought some information from Lanzhou River and found out that Alge was now in Xiguang. He felt very calm and tied himself to Xingye bomb and prepared a careful plan to blow up the city of Xiguang.

He had lived in the City of Dawn for some time and was very familiar with the attack and defense systems there, so it was easy for him to sneak in.

But when he was about to hit the inner city of the City of Dawn, he suddenly remembered that the admiral had been here before and made it clear that he liked this city.

Nie Liang was split into two parts. One part was still a gentle and calm adjutant, and the other part was completely crazy, screaming and clamoring, wanting to tear apart all the people who had anything to do with the admiral.

But in the end he still managed to control the flying ship to turn and crash into the wall, resulting in the current confrontation scene.

No one answered his question, so he asked again calmly: "Where is the admiral?"

Alger was silent for a long time, "I'll take you to find him."

Nie Liang followed him, dragging the ammunition.

He arrived at a newly built cemetery and suddenly stopped, not daring to go forward.

Alger turned around and looked at him: "This is a solemn place, don't bring weapons."

Nie Liang threw away the Starry Night Bullet, took off all the flying blades and guns he had hidden, and even threw away the space button. He even took off all the iron and hard things from his clothes.

He finally went in and saw the words on the tombstone clearly:

[The Tomb of Lanxia, ​​Lannuo, and Elansnuo]

It's the admiral's name.

Nie Liang didn't know how long he stood there. He heard his own voice asking, "Is the admiral's body here?"

Alge shook his head: "No."

"Oh," Nie Liang asked again, "are there the admiral's ashes here?"

Arge: “No.”

Nie Liang: "Then what basis do you have to say he is dead?"

Arge: "He went into the Aurora."

Nie Liang: "Have you found the admiral's body?"

Arge: “…No.”

Nie Liang: "Have you found his ashes?"

He didn't care whether anyone answered or not, and asked again, "Then what basis do you have to say he is dead?"

“…”

The wind blew a little slower. Aerjie's eyes were filled with complicated emotions. He sighed and said, "Then why don't you leave? Why do you keep standing here?"

Nie Liang's lips moved, he said nothing, walked to the tombstone and saw the stone book.

He wanted to go and see, and just before he stepped onto the stairs, he paused, took out a few handkerchiefs, and wiped the dust off his shoes before he stepped on the stairs.

He knelt in front of it, opened the stone book, and read every word carefully.

The general...killed Lan Xia?

Isn’t Lan Xia the admiral’s brother?

Nie Liang still clearly remembered that when the admiral talked about Lan Xia, the look in his eyes was more cautious and gentle than ever before. He cherished his brother very much, just as he cherished the admiral.

Put yourself in their shoes.

Nie Liang thought, if he had killed a follower general with his own hands...

A deep fear appeared in his eyes, his hands trembled, and suddenly he didn't dare to think about it any further.

That Admiral...

A long time.

Arge heard him say in a hoarse voice: "I want all the information, news, videos and recordings about the Admiral after I leave. Don't let me find out that you lied to me, or I will blow up the headquarters of your alliance."

Arge: "You can view the ones that have been published on StarNet, but not the rest."

Nie Liang said nothing.

He watched every video of Elansno's battle with the Zerg, which took a long time. He specially edited a version in which only Elansno appeared. He selected pictures as usual and added background music that suited the admiral.

As for the rest, it doesn't matter to him.

From the first video battle to the last one, the Admiral has lost weight again. Those who take care of the Admiral must be fools to not see it.

He uploaded all the edited videos to StarNet and sent them out using his mercenary account.

He has never concealed his admiration for Ellan Snow on this account, but there was too little material before, and he only found those after searching.

Now that he has more, he doesn't want to use them.

The account that had disappeared for a long time suddenly reappeared. Many people contacted him and asked him if he would still accept orders. Nie Liang ignored them, waited for three minutes, and blocked all those who did not like his videos during this period.

After doing what he usually did, he suddenly didn't know what to do.

He originally wanted to hire someone to hack into the official websites of StarNet and the Human Alliance and put these videos on there to play on a loop for a year, but he thought the admiral would not like this, so he gave up with regret.

News came from Lanzhou River, scolding him for being a moron.

Nie Liang thanked him and transferred a large sum of money to him, asking Blue State River to collect all the information about Elan Snow.

They chatted for a long time. Lanzhouhe's tone became cautious at some point. He asked him: Are you okay? He said madly, "Transfer your money to me."

Nie Liang said he was fine.

He smiled. How could anything happen to him?

After doing this, he——

I still have to go find the Admiral.

Then, he handed the gem to the admiral personally.

Nie Liang stayed here for three days without moving. Lanzhouhe sent him some well-hidden videos.

Video of Ellen Snow being trapped in a dream and constantly destroying herself.

Lanzhouhe thought Nie Liang would go crazy, or be disappointed to see that Ellan Snow had such a weak side, but he didn't.

Nie Liang cried.

He was just thinking simply and with great pain.

His gods, in places he couldn't see, suffered a lot.

But gods are also human beings and they feel pain.

He was obviously in so much pain, and he was protecting so many people, so why could some people not see it?

He guarded it day after day and almost died here.

Until the moment of despair, they saw the computer video that Elan Snow left for Arge and the other three.

Even at this time, Nie Liang was still very sensitive to Elansno's voice. Almost the moment he heard Elansno's voice, he opened his eyes and accurately captured the image on the computer: "... Admiral?"

The admiral's optical computer.

He didn't speak for a long time, and his voice was almost silent.

A familiar figure appeared in the void. The general fiddled with the computer for a while in a snowy field. It seemed that he had finished debugging it. Then he said to the video: [Hello, I have to leave.]

Nie Liang reached out to touch it, and the stiff body fell to the ground. He continued to watch and listen without blinking.

[I'm sorry that you took such a long time to take care of me...]

[I am really tired. I didn’t know I could be so tired in another day. I walked here and it seems I can’t walk anymore.]

[I want to say one more thing...]

The admiral's tone and demeanor were very relaxed. Nie Liang could tell that he was happy and genuinely happy. The admiral was happy, so he smiled too.

[Also Nie Liang, wait for him to come back and make sure he is well and not to use gunpowder to blow things up casually.]

When Nie Liang heard his own name, he was stunned. Then he hurriedly replayed it, repeated it many times, and listened to it many times.

He cut out the less than one second audio of the admiral calling him "Nie Liang" and imported it into his own computer, where he frantically entered a dozen passwords.

The admiral said this, does that mean he already knew his identity?

Nie Liang stayed there for a while.

Continuing to listen to the admiral's voice, he heard the last sentence:

[It's time for me to go.]

Nie Liang watched the admiral walk into the aurora.

After that day, Nie Liang disappeared, and no one saw him again for a long time.

…

Seven years later.

Another half cycle has passed.

The original children of the City of Dawn have grown up, and the children playing with paper airplanes on the streets have been replaced by a new generation.

White, red, blue...paper airplanes fly freely in the sunshine.

Alge picked one up at random and opened it. There were three identical Q-version figures drawn on it. The first figure looked at the other two fighting figures next to him with gentle helplessness, trying to persuade them to stop fighting.

Next to the gentle man was a sentence: "Today is Arnold's birthday." This sentence triggered a world war.

Masked Man: My brother is calling me!

Cute Angry Little Man: My brother is clearly calling me!

Arge looked at it for a while and then smiled.

After a while, a child came running over and looked up: "The President is here again? This is my paper airplane, can you give it back to me?"

This scene infinitely overlaps with the scene seven or eight years ago.

Arge asked: "What's drawn on it? The masked man and the cute man are obviously the same person."

The child stuck out his tongue and said, "It's a comic book! Of course I know they are one person, but it doesn't prevent me from separating them."

Arge squatted down and said with a smile: "You like them very much? Who do you like best?"

The child wrinkled his nose and counted his fingers seriously: "I want a big brother like Mr. Lan Xia who is gentle and kind, a second brother like the general who is majestic and protective, and a little brother like Lan Nuo who is cute and easy to bully!"

Arge: “Greed.”

"If I had just one person like that, I would be very satisfied."

The child said: "The commander-in-chief's teacher is Mr. Lan Xia. Is the commander-in-chief satisfied?"

Arge thought for a moment and said truthfully, "No, I'm sorry."

The child did not understand what regret was, and he also followed his example: "Greedy."

So Alge touched his head, returned the paper airplane, and carefully pushed him away: "Run slower, go play."

A teacher passed by in the distance, leading a group of neatly arranged children: "Hold hands and follow the teacher closely. Today I will take you to the chaotic magnetic area."

"Do you know where that is?"

The children stretched out their voices: "I don't know..."

"Some people know and some don't. Teacher, tell you, that's where the Dawn War ended. Seven years ago, the Human Alliance was invaded by the Zerg, and someone killed the King Zerg with the Sword of Dawn. Otherwise, you might still be in the midst of the war now!"

Some people were dissatisfied and asked, "Is he more powerful than Marshal Shoubing?"

The teacher smiled mysteriously: "Do you know why the Alliance doesn't have the title of 'Admiral' anymore?"

From Lieutenant General upwards, it is not General, but Commander-in-Chief, which is equivalent to the original position of General.

"Why?"

"Because, in the Human Alliance, the title of Admiral refers to only one person, and that is Elan Snow! He is the teacher's idol!"

The children chattered and affirmed: "He is a hero!"

The teacher said: "Yes, he is a hero, but he is also a tyrant."

The teacher lowered her head and looked at the children around her. She patted their heads one by one and said, "That's a long story. Line up and don't get lost~"

"Okay~"

The golden sunlight shines down, falls on the body and melts into a warm and velvety feeling.

The laughter gradually faded away, and Alger watched them go away.

The child didn't ask him what regrets he had.

In fact, if you ask him, he won't be able to answer.

But there is always a piece missing in my heart.

Over the years, I have seen the pain brought by the war gradually being healed by time and hope, but the memories of my teacher and Elan Snow have become clearer and clearer.

He had never seen such a pure person in all these years.

Even if one has never experienced such a pure passion, the mere experience of it is enough to be remembered by many people for a lifetime.

Jin Daiqi called and said, "Brother, I heard there will be an aurora in the far west tonight, and there's a chance we can see violets."

Arge: “Okay, I understand.”

Violet is still regarded as the sacred flower of the Human Alliance.

They did not find the stone that was used as a seed, and Lan Nuo and Lan Xia disappeared with the aurora.

Perhaps it was a gift from God. Three years ago, someone discovered that, with a very small probability, large areas of violets would grow in places where purple auroras and brilliant starlight appeared at the same time.

Some people have tried to transplant them, but unfortunately as soon as the aurora disappears, the violets will disappear completely, as if they had never existed.

It's like a dream, when you wake up there's nothing.

It may be a dream.

I can grasp a tiny bit of wish from it.

Arge thought of Nie Liang again, the man who always threatened to blow up the Human Federation. He was Ellansno's last adjutant. Later he found out that he was also the number one mercenary.

They have had no definite news about Nie Liang since he disappeared in front of the tombstone after watching those videos seven years ago.

…

The moment the aurora spread, a storm started.

The violent energy hurricane can almost turn a person into ashes in an instant.

There was a tiny silver light, it was a very simple aircraft, like a bird flying fearlessly in the turbulence.

Nie Liang held an energy capture device in his hand, his eyes bright and determined, and went back and forth on the edge of the aurora storm countless times.

I heard that the aurora would turn a person's body into energy particles, so would the soul be the same? He could recognize the admiral, even if it was broken into particles.

As long as he can find it, as long as he can find it all.

Nie Liang never thought he was crazy, he wanted to say.

General.

When you exist, I chase you. When you embrace the aurora, I chase the aurora.

Believers will follow the gods forever.

The author has something to say:

As for the extra stories or if-plots, it will take too long to put them off. I will probably write them when I finish writing them and get to the end. It won’t take too long. I have only conceived three worlds in total for this book.

This chapter sends 50 red envelopes~
