Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 1212: Go To The Cemetery

They came to the door, and Edward nodded to Lucy and left. Lucy took a deep breath and gently pushed the door open with both hands. The door was dimly lit, and the hanging curtains fluttered in the sunlight, leaving behind an unfathomable shadow in the room. Alan sat by the window under the edge of the bed, leaving Lucy a blurry silhouette.

He didn't say anything and just focused on a pocket watch in his hand. He looked so seriously that the light in his eyes was filled with sadness. The softest part of Lucy's heart ached, and then her vision blurred. She hurriedly wiped away the tears that had not fallen before she coughed softly.

The light in Alan's eyes suddenly turned cold, as if an icy rock had suddenly descended and sealed his heart. Then he looked up and saw that it was Lucy, and the coldness in his eyes subsided a little. A smile appeared on his face, but instead of making him look lighter, it was a little tired. He photographed the edge of the bed and Lucy walked over quietly to see a picture in her pocket watch of a stubborn girl who looked somewhat like Alan.

"This is a picture of my mother when she was a child. It was kept by my grandfather's side. Grandpa didn't give it to me until our first expedition. He said he had this pocket watch, just like his mother would always be there for me. I knew it was very important to my grandfather, but he still gave me his watch. I am very grateful for what he did for me. But now, I may never see him again. "

Lucy put her hand on Alan's thigh. She didn't know what to say, so she didn't say anything. Perhaps, as Edward said, accompaniment is the best consolation.

Alan smiled, closed his pocket watch, and put it away in his arms. He looked at the girl and reached out to stroke her hair. "I know what you're trying to say. Edward is trying to comfort me by bringing you back so quickly, right?" He does have a heart, but you don't have to worry too much about me. Yes, I'm very sad about Grandpa, but at the same time, I'm also very angry. At this moment, anger surpasses sorrow. I won't let myself fall. Otherwise, I won't have the chance to settle with some people. "

'"Alan" Lucy held his face and said, "I'm the only one here. You know, I'm willing to share everything with you. Be it happy or sad."

'I know, but Lucy, I don't even have time to be sad or depressed. Edward only bought me a few months, at most half a year, and the Union army will show up. Before that, I must be prepared.' Alan grabbed her hand and said, "It's good that Edward called you back. I can say goodbye to you now."

"Goodbye?" "Where are you going?" Lucy was startled.

"Blood King's Graveyard!" "When I went north, I felt something calling from the Blood King's cemetery more than once," Allen said. I must go there, even once. And I need strength, strength to fight against the Federation, and strength to take revenge on some people. The Blood King Cemetery should be a good choice. I will explore the ruins, explore areas that the empire hasn't set foot in, and temper myself at the same time. And this time, I will go alone. "

"That would be too dangerous!"

"I know, but Lucy, in addition to tempering myself, I need a place to be alone. You all care about me, but there are some things that I have to deal with myself." Alan closed his eyes and put them on Lucy's cheek. "I need you to trust me as always. That's enough."

Lucy clenched his hand. "Of course I believe you. That's never changed!"

The two of them looked at each other speechlessly. At this moment, none of their words could convey their thoughts as well as a single look in their eyes. The atmosphere in the room became peaceful and quiet. Lucy leaned against Alan's shoulder and could feel his aura wrapping around her. How she wished that she could rely on each other like this until eternity. But that was impossible after all. A moment later, Alan broke the silence.

"Tell me, are there any major events happening in the empire during my absence?"

Lucy said "hmm" and her stagnant thoughts began to spin, flowing into the distance like flowing water. She left Allen's warm shoulders and said in a gentle breeze over the treetops, "Mason came two days ago." He met Julian alone, and just yesterday, Julian announced his departure for Iron Spear Ridge. Hoey had also returned, and Mason was accompanying them. They did not say anything specific. However, when Julian bid farewell to everyone, he revealed some details. It seemed that the nobles would be gathered at Iron Spear Ridge in half a month in the name of Hoey and Elizabeth. At that time, Mason will come forward to confirm that the new Prime Minister of the Empire is the murderer of Tangerio. If everything goes well, I will say. After repelling Shadow Duchy, Julian will be able to return to the imperial capital smoothly. "

"Mason's wife?"

"Yes, I heard that he has died of illness." "One more thing," added Lucy, "is that Woodrick has arrived in Sardinia with the dragon army and is currently working with General Slyn of Sardinia to defend against Shadow Duchy's troops. If you want to go to the Blood King's Cemetery, you will definitely pass through Sardinia. At that time, you may be able to see Woodrick. The situation in the south is now relatively stable, with the LRA on several fronts remaining invincible. However, the battle on the northern defensive line was not very optimistic. Originally, the Northern Lands was guarded by the Giant Dragon Army and the Black Wolf Army. With the addition of the Bucks Army, the three legions were like a piece of iron. Unfortunately, because of Hawson, the Giant Dragon Army went south and the remnants were useless. The Black Wolf Army temporarily took over. "

"At present, the Bucks divided a portion of the troops south, with the remaining strength plus a black wolf army, the strength is obviously insufficient. But what was important was that two of Shadow Duchy's three Grand Supervisors were on the northern front. However, the Lion King Army and the Giant Dragon Army were in the south. Currently, there were only a limited number of experts in the Northern Region who could take action, and Roderick was the only one in the military. It was said that Roderick was already quite dissatisfied with Arkham's self-cleaning behavior. He had asked his Bear Armor Army to fight several times, but Arkham had disobeyed Marshal's orders. "He sent an army to the north to support them, but not to mention himself, even the elite Tyrant Bear Legion did not send them. This made Roderick very dissatisfied."

"In the past, with Tangerio around, Great Emperor's reputation was enough to suppress any uneasy thoughts." Alan sighed, "It's a pity he's gone, and neither Hawson nor Julian are enough to convince the crowd." Julian, insisted on by Hoey and Elizabeth, had a relatively good reputation. However, because Hawson was eager for quick success and instant benefits, he drove the Boleyn family out, causing them to lose their hearts, much less hope that he would be able to suppress other voices. As for Roderick, he is still an empire, Marshal, and at a time like this Arkham has the ability not to pay for him. "

"I hope that Mason's appearance will restore the imperial lineage. The empire must first go inside before it can settle down outside. When the time comes, we will launch an all-out counter-offensive and we will be able to repel the Shadow Duchy." "At first I was worried that going to the Blood King's Cemetery at this time would bother you, but in this situation, at least for the time being, our territory should not be affected by the flames of war," Allen said. "That would give me some peace of mind."

Lucy nodded and said, "The Bucks are still stationed at the Unicorn Leader's side, and Midian has no intention of leaving." Whether it was an expert or an army, it shouldn't be a problem to defend this line of defense. I won't stop you from going to the Blood King's Cemetery, but I suggest you take the white belt. He looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, but he was more like a child mentally. If he finds out that you didn't bring him with you to the cemetery, I bet he would be heartbroken. "

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you."

"Then it's settled. I'll go call Bai back."

That afternoon, Bai returned to the guild hall and quietly left with Alan. Without disturbing the others, they put on the hooded cloak that Lucy had prepared for them, brought enough dry food and water, and left Dawn Castle like two ordinary adventurers. Alan didn't say goodbye to too many people this time. When Father Miro, Vera, and the others heard the news and arrived at the guild hall, Alan had already left. They couldn't help but sigh. Lucy decided to leave them behind. It had been a long time since they had been together, and it was necessary to let the others know what Alan had experienced on Earth so that they could plan for the future.

That night, the guild held a small banquet. The main character of the banquet was naturally core members like priests. While enjoying a sumptuous meal, Edward calmly recounted Allen's return to Earth, beginning with their arrival on Earth and continuing until he returned to Planet Paradise and returned to the Interstellar Defense Line.

The banquet lasted for three hours, and by the end, everyone knew what was going on. Everyone was enraged when they heard that the Federation had privately detained Alan for experimentation. Especially Wilick, who smashed a corner of the table with one punch. Hearing that Horn might have passed away, everyone was filled with emotion. Lucy remained silent throughout the whole process, and only the change in her eyes could tell what she was feeling.

After Edward told the whole story, Lucy asked, "You said they call Ellen the Son of Twilight?"

"En, does His Highness know anything about this title?"

Lucy closed her eyes, as if she was thinking of something, and whispered after a moment, "Remember, I saw this word in the Royal Library. However, there are not many records of the Son of Twilight, and I have only seen this word. As for the relevant information, it is confidential even in Adahua Planet."

"Secret?" Edward gently propped up the bowl of corn soup with a silver spoon. "Strange, if information about the Son of Twilight is confidential in Adahua Planet, how does the Federation know?" If they hadn't discovered something, then the Son of Twilight would have been leaked to the Federation by a third party. I dare to assume that if this third party is Adahua Planet … "

Lucy suddenly stood up and said, "Then your plan may not be delayed for that long."
