Soon, the sky darkened, and it was almost dusk.
On the rooftop of the City Lord's Mansion, Lucy could see the busy scene on the other side of the city wall. The people and buildings turned into a thick silhouette under the setting sun.
In the ruins of Ark Harbor, when Allen decided to split up, Lucy returned to Bauhinia City and explained the situation to Edward. So strictly speaking, they should have split up into three groups. At that time, Lucy landed on the City Lord's Mansion on the Silver Winged Killer's transformed Silver Eagle. Everyone who saw this scene was stunned. He had seen people riding horses, but he had never seen someone riding an eagle, and it was such a big silver eagle. For a time, the soldiers of Bauhinia City were privately discussing what kind of big shot the eagle would be, and this topic would always be talked about in the future.
"Your Highness."
Edward's voice sounded from behind her. Lucy turned around. The former youth was now a handsome man. In fact, in terms of appearance, Edward was not inferior to Allen at all. However, Edward felt more feminine, while Allen was as handsome as a flame. Edward, who was now an Earl, had already brought his wife from Sur City to Dawn Castle, but his wife was still depressed. The only thing that pleased her was that Edward did not take a concubine after becoming an Earl. However, if she knew that Edward did not take a concubine because he loved her, it was just that Edward did not have time to waste on something as boring as feelings, the Countess was afraid that even this last bit of relief would disappear.
"You're already an Earl. Come to think of it, time flies. It's as if we just arrived on Planet Heaven yesterday." Lucy smiled.
Edward put his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "I'd rather go back to that time. Although we didn't have an easy time at that time, there were many difficulties. But at the very least, there was a solution to any kind of difficulty. Unlike now, the enemies that have appeared are all so powerful that they make people despair. "
"Don't despair, we still have Allen." Lucy said. She had absolute confidence in Allen.
Edward nodded and said, "That's right. If Young Master Allen hadn't returned in time, I wouldn't have been able to find him. Not to mention the monster armies that were wreaking havoc everywhere, even the Coiling Dragon Empire's attack last time was too much for me to handle. Fortunately, I didn't lose Young Master's territory. "
"You have always been capable," said Lucy. "Allen has no doubt about that."
Edward smiled faintly and said solemnly, "Young Master Allen, it's too risky for you to go after that expert named Herceus alone. According to what you've said, Helsus's strength has already far surpassed the Empire's Ten Sages. In any case, Young Master is pushing himself too hard by himself. I really hope nothing happens to him. "
"No, if something happens to him, I will know." Lucy turned her head and looked at the sunset in the west. "The sunset today is so beautiful."
Edward also looked over. The sun was low in the Western Mountains, and the clouds of sunset filled the sky. This kind of scenery was beautiful, but it also carried a bit of the sadness of twilight. However, today's sunset seemed to be much more brilliant than usual. As Edward looked, he suddenly discovered something. His pupils dilated, "Something is coming this way!"
"Where?"
"There." Edward pointed to the place where the sun had set that night.
Lucy looked over. Sure enough, in the sunset, there was a golden flame. Because it was too far before, she didn't notice it. But now that the golden light was getting brighter and brighter, it meant that it was flying in the direction of Bauhinia City. Moreover, its speed was extremely fast!
Almost before Edward had time to give the order to be on guard, the golden light had already arrived in the sky above the city. From the ground, it looked like a burning cloud of fire, pure golden flames burning endlessly in the air. Edward immediately had Lucy retreat, and he stood in front of the Queen. At this time, the flames gradually converged, and a figure could be vaguely seen in the flames. At this time, Edward heard Lucy's cheers behind him. He turned around and Lucy said excitedly, "It's Allen, he's back!"
The flames were completely restrained, and only a thin golden flame fluttered around Allen's body. Allen, dressed in golden armor, had golden wings on his back, and seven or eight golden flames fluttered up and down like ribbons. Edward had never seen Allen like this. At this moment, he was as majestic as a god, making Edward have the urge to kneel down and worship. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had really knelt down on one knee, and he was surprised. Although he respected Allen in the past, he had never performed such a big ceremony of distinction. But now, not only did he do it, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, as if it was supposed to be like this.
Above the sky, Allen landed. The flame ribbons behind him gradually retracted, his wings folded, and the sword feathers retracted, turning back into a sword wheel hovering behind him. When he landed on the rooftop, Lucy had already run over and threw herself into Allen's arms, hugging him tightly, and said, "Did you succeed?"
Allen smiled slightly, "Yes, I've already destroyed that door."
Then, he said to Edward, "Get up, prepare a set of clothes for me."
"Clothes?" Edward asked doubtfully.
Allen smiled bitterly, "Don't look at me like this, do you think I like to make such a big scene? That can't be helped, I don't have a single piece of cloth on me right now, and if I don't use my armor to cover myself, it really won't look good. "
Hearing this, Lucy smiled, and Edward hurriedly went down to get someone to bring clothes.
After a while, Allen, who had disarmed and changed his clothes, finally heaved a sigh of relief and sat on a chair in the study. Don't be fooled by him flying in the sky, surrounded by golden flames, and majestic armor. However, if he didn't do that, flying naked in the sky wouldn't be enjoyable. After all, Allen didn't have the eccentricities of an exhibitionist.
After the butler and servants brought tea and snacks, they left, leaving only the three of them in the study. Allen didn't stand on ceremony. He drank the tea and even threw a piece of cake into his mouth. Hearing about the Burning Legion and the twilight of the universe from Allen, Edward's expression was solemn. He said, "Ever since the fever last time, all the patients have transformed into monsters, and their appearance is similar to the army you brought. I vaguely felt that something big was going to happen. I didn't expect it to be this serious. The twilight of the universe … I thought those were just legends. "
"Do you also have legends about the twilight of the universe on Planet Maritan?" Allen asked.
Edward nodded and said, "Yes, but these are only recorded on the ancient tablets of the temple. When I was young, I only listened to them as stories. I didn't expect that I would actually be involved in it now. "
