Chapter 56 : Chapter 56 The Lianmen Sect Will Live Forever~
"I didn't know you were literate, Mydei. I never received any letters from you."
"What's written inside?"
"Didn't you say you were going to the Golbanipar Library? Well, come on then."
"Speaking of which, Mydei, you haven't really spent time with the former king and queen since you got back, right? I'll go with you later. I also want to bring some things from the Aedes Elysiae over."
"What a coincidence. I prepared some pomegranate juice specially made in Xuanfeng..."
Watching the two figures recede into the distance, Xu Qiong slowly let out a sigh.
Although the players might be having a tough time, this was all for the true rebirth of Amphoreus.
"Your tears will become the most sincere treasure."
Thinking this, Xu Qiong curiously opened the letter Mydei had given him.
There was a joke that there weren't actually any words in Xuanfeng's dictionary.
So he really wanted to know what Mydei had written to him.
"Hmm?"
To Xu Qiong:
"I wish to contend with you in the skies above, yet I must still shoulder the duties beneath the heavens, for even if the flames of war cease, the path to peace still requires guidance."
"The grace of Deliverance is beyond words. All I can offer is a cup, to joyously drink this crimson pomegranate nectar with you, celebrating the victory of this world, and toasting from afar the journey among the stars."
"Though I still do not know whence you came, your expedition will surely be surrounded by wolves and shadowed by serpents. If you ever need the fury of strife, I will offer you my Suspended Edge, along with my blood and bones, to accompany you in expanding your domain and aid you in achieving constant victory."
"On the day of your triumphant return, I shall raise my cup to you once more!"
— Mydmos
"It's a letter of gratitude."
Although brief, it truly was Mydei's style. Who knew Mydei had such literary skill?
After reading, Xu Qiong slowly folded the letter, but accidentally dropped it into Cyrene's hands.
"Oh? Is this a letter from Mydei to partner?"
"Let me see what it says~"
Seeing Cyrene read it with great interest, her face wearing the secret delight of discovering something private, Xu Qiong helplessly tapped the table but let her continue.
"Just a thank-you letter."
"Hmm... The story of one man guarding a lonely city is truly tragic and heroic..."
Sitting beside Xu Qiong, Cyrene thoughtfully shook her head. "No wonder Mydei gave this letter to you. It seems he must have been quite satisfied with the story partner depicted."
"There was blood, there were tears, and a heroic, tragic end worthy of the name."
Then Cyrene looked at Xu Qiong, her gaze somewhat innocent yet sincere as she said, "Perhaps partner hasn't realized it, but everyone is truly grateful to you."
"Without anyone noticing, you've really changed many things, rewritten many things, and have long since become the true Deliverer in our hearts ♪"
Cyrene handed the folded letter back to Xu Qiong, then asked with a hint of anticipation, "I wonder what my own ending will be like?"
"Perhaps a romantic yet poignantly beautiful finale?"
"Cyrene really knows how to flatter someone, doesn't she?"
Hearing Cyrene say this, Xu Qiong felt it was a bit grim, but he still wanted to compliment her.
"But as expected of Amphoreus's little priestess. Though I suggest you change professions, it's just... too accurate!"
The oracle was issued by Cyrene. Whoever she said was gone, was gone.
She even joked about herself being gone, and then she really was gone!
However, speaking of Mydei's ending...
The story of the 33,550,336th cycle, in truth, none of the Chrysos Heirs had personally experienced it. At most, they only felt a sense of familiarity, or were moved and praised it.
After all, Xu Qiong's early arrival had completely disrupted the storyline.
Upon first entering Aha Star, using Phainon's second-cycle memories, he successfully won the trust of Aglaea and Tribbie. Then, Xu Qiong sought out Castorice and together they speed-ran through Nikador.
But after inheriting the spark, Mydei failed to return to his homeland, and the Xuanfeng People ultimately gave up their obsession with returning.
Was it Xu Qiong's astonishing eloquence that made all this possible?
Or did he persuade the Xuanfeng People to let go of their obsession?
Clearly, these people didn't even fully believe in the oracle, let alone something like a second cycle.
So, to avoid wasting time, Xu Qiong used Nikador's hand to directly imitate the Founder and blew up Kremnos City!
Truly, nothing remained.
With their home gone, what was there to return to?
Thus, everyone remained in Okhema.
"Thinking about it now, I feel a bit sorry for Mydei. But saving the people while losing the land means both the people and the land are preserved. The final outcome was good."
At least now, Kremnos City could be rebuilt.
"What is partner muttering about alone?"
Suddenly.
In the blink of an eye, Cyrene's face, comparable to 'the beauty of all that matters,' drew close again.
So close, it seemed only a lip's breadth away.
Xu Qiong neither retreated nor moved closer, merely clearing his throat. "Ahem, nothing. I was just complimenting your beauty."
Cyrene: "Huh?"
"Look, I even wrote you a support song—'Setting out with love, romance endures, draining gold to irrigate the Time, a fairy's form watches over the dawn, ripples of the past remain as at first sight, as i have written, Cyrene's Gate endures!'"
Cyrene: "!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ"
"What partner? Say it again, I didn't hear it clearly just now!"
Xu Qiong stood up from his seat and immediately sidestepped. "If you didn't hear it, forget it. You can listen next time~"
"How could you."
"Don't run, say it again for me, I want to hear you say it!"
Realizing Xu Qiong was leaving, Cyrene took two steps and chased him out onto the balcony.
...
Elsewhere.
The sound of sobbing.
Staring at her mobile phone screen, Guinaifen remained frozen like this for a long time.
Beside her, Sushang looked puzzled. "Huh? What's going on? Why does it sound like there's a tremolo?"
"Is someone nearby injured? No, this isn't the military camp."
Sushang turned her head and saw Guinaifen's eyes were slightly red as she dodged to the side, continuously rubbing them.
"What's wrong, Guinaifen? You're not..."
[What's wrong with Guinaifen? Why did she suddenly disappear from the camera?]
[Wait, Guinaifen's eyes were a bit red just now. Could it be...]
Realizing both Sushang and the livestream had noticed, Guinaifen hurriedly explained, "No, no, Chang Chang, the wind was just a bit strong."
"Something seemed to blow into my eyes. I'll be fine in a moment."
Sushang: "..."
She glanced at the utterly calm sky.
So it was the wind brought by General Feixiao, huh?
Clearly, Guinaifen didn't consider herself someone with weak mental fortitude, but this storyline had genuinely moved her.
Not only that.
If you scrolled through the game's major forums and communities, a flood of comments had already appeared.
...
[So realistic it almost made me dazed, like a dream. It felt like a real, flesh-and-blood person had truly left.]
[Mydei most likely won't be coming back. He chose the same fate as Tribbie, shouldering the outermost battlefield of Amphoreus alone, confronting the black tide.]
[Although I watched the storyline on Guinaifen's stream, I still recommend experiencing this main quest solo. The chatters' joking around really affects the viewing experience!]
[For Mydei, this is definitely a very good ending.]
[He is immortal, but the people of Kremnos City would surely die on the battlefield if they followed him back home. So he chose to leave everyone in Okhema.]
[If you observe the storyline carefully, you can sense Mydei's subtle psychological shifts—from self-doubt, to being caught in a dilemma, to complete resolve. This is the answer he left for Amphoreus!]
[Outwardly unbridled, but inwardly a gentle king...]
[In the very end, everything seemed to return. The comrades, friends, and family who had passed away... May this necessary pain one day bring an end to the conflict!]
