Matthew and Eckert looked at each other for a while, then nodded slowly, indicating that they understood.
Everyone, including Habeimiao, fell silent.
No one talks anymore.
However, everyone looked unhappy.
"I want to be quiet for a while."
Ash stood up.
After leaving these words, she walked away.
Halfway there, she suddenly turned her head again.
"Jiang Li, come with me."
Then, she walked into the darkness.
"Don't worry, I will help her."
Jiang Li also stood up, left these words to Eckert and the others, and followed Ji's footsteps to catch up.
"Alas."
Eckert sighed, his face full of dejection.
Among them, except for the bottomless ash, no one can go against the world.
Except for Jiang Li, no one can help Xie.
He, an old fellow who has fought side by side with Ai for two thousand years, is not as good as a young boy from the future who has just been with Ai for half a year.
Of course he didn't look down on Jiang Li.
It’s just that he feels even more unwilling to accept his own powerlessness!
Under the dark night.
Xie and Jiang Li left the camp one after another and entered the endless vast grassland.
"The four wars of spring, summer, autumn and winter predicted by the shrine maiden have now occurred, but the war of winter has not happened yet."
Qie stopped in the starless and moonless darkness and turned to look at Jiang Li.
"I want to ask you, in your time period in the future, did the Winter War happen?"
After much thought, she couldn't figure out what the prophecy of the priestess was referring to.
Thinking that there were people from the future around her, she thought of borrowing knowledge from the future.
"The Winter War... It was the war in the first year of AD, that is, 400 years later, when a fairy named Morgan returned from Onik, conquered the four major clans of Wind, Earth and Fangwing, and became the queen who ruled Britain for 2000 years." Jiang Li glanced at Ji with a complicated expression.
"Queen Morgan is also known as the "Queen of Winter" because of her unkind rule."
At this moment.
Jiang Li has never felt so clearly that all this is like a farce.
The sneer from the unstoppable torrent of history echoes in my ears very clearly.
The cry of this island.
The cry of this world.
Over the past six months, the wails have been echoing in his ears, as if they were calling him deliberately.
"That's it..."
Ash wriggled her lower lip.
I wanted to say something, but in the end I said nothing.
She raised her head and her distant gaze fell on the endless sea in the north.
Even in the dark night, the giant silver-white tree with an unknown height still stands at the end of the horizon for thousands of years.
That is the fantasy tree.
Unlike the withered and burned state 2400 years later, the fantasy tree of this era is still growing vigorously.
This tree is also called the World Tree here and bears many beliefs and worships.
"Actually, I no longer plan to save all fairies and humans."
Qie spoke very abruptly.
Those words made Jiang Li pause slightly.
"I told you before that after helping the goblins resolve their disputes, I would return to the coffin to sleep, right?"
"That's actually a lie. Ever since I started to resolve disputes between fairies 2,600 years ago, I have never returned to the coffin. The reason why I disappear from time to time is because I was exiled by the fairies."
"They instinctively hate the paradise goblins. No matter what I do or how many times I rescue them, I can't get even a single thank you from them. Every time after resolving disputes and disasters, what awaits me is never the cheers of the people.
But rejection and assassination."
"Assassination, hostage threats, deception...to break it down, except for poisoning, which I have no experience with, I have experienced all the killing methods from the goblins."
Jiang Li remained silent.
I'm sorry that he really can't understand this feeling.
Every time I try my best to help and save all the fairies and humans from danger, all I get is betrayal!
Even though they have shown the utmost kindness, it’s just that the goblins are not grateful, and instead they fight back with swords!
If it were Jiang Li, when he was betrayed for the first time, he probably couldn't help but kill all the bad guys who swung their swords at him.
But Ash appeared again and again, again and again, to help them resolve disputes and resolve the great crisis in Britain - disaster.
As a result, after everything was resolved, we were still in the same situation as last time.
Being ostracized, blamed, and hunted.
The next time the fairies were in crisis, they appeared again.
Repeatedly countless times.
Never once was I thanked, never once was I trusted.
All the hard work has turned into a dream, like mist or dream, disappearing into the other side of time.
"But you are still protecting Britain, right?"
Jiang Li asked rhetorically.
This is what makes Jiang Li admire the most, and what makes him feel most unworthy of her.
Obviously I am being hurt every time, but I still stand up every time.
If it were him, we ask ourselves, he would never be able to reach this point.
"I am indeed protecting Britain, but I am only protecting Britain."
Ash shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"For me, as long as Britain is still there, it doesn't matter whether the creatures above are humans, fairies, or nothing at all."
"The reason why I protect the goblins is because if we want this Britain to survive, we must keep the goblins alive as much as possible. I just understand this truth... so I chose to make friends after fighting alone for a thousand years.
Companion, intervene in the disputes between fairies."
From the beginning, Ash only wanted to protect Britain.
During the one thousand years from Fairy Calendar 4000 to Fairy Calendar 3000, she has been fighting alone, defeating nine minor disasters and solving one major disaster.
At that time, she never thought about resolving disputes between goblins.
That's not only for the expansion of the British Isles, but also because Ai doesn't care about the life and death of the goblins!
It wasn't until the 3000th year of the Fairy Calendar that she finally realized something.
If you want to protect Britain, you must protect the fairies.
Otherwise, this Britain will be finished sooner or later.
After understanding this, Ash began to intervene in the disputes between the goblins, and found Grim, Ector and Habeme as companions. They appeared again and again, were persecuted, and reappeared. Qianqianyi哾<

"To me, fairies are just tools to maintain Britain. You are my real companions."
"The reason why I protect Britain is because this is the only place where I can live, so I gave humans the right to build a kingdom. That is obviously something that is not allowed in the history of pan-humanity... In essence, even Uther was also controlled by me.
Take advantage of it."
"I'm not a savior at all, I'm a witch, a miserable witch who doesn't even have a fairy who believes in me, understands me, appreciates me, or helps me!"
