Since the festival had just ended, there were still some lingering liveliness in the Elven Hometown that night.
The radiance of the Tree of Light was much more dazzling than usual, making the entire Elven Hometown look like an ideal hometown, making people feel as though they had fallen into a dreamland.
This caused many people to be reluctant to sleep as if they wanted to take one more look at the Elven Hometown. Some strolled on the streets, while others walked back and forth between the windows of the treehouses, feeling as though they had forgotten to go home.
This time, Shien came to the roof like these people as if he was reluctant to sleep.
"Sigh …"
Shien lay on the treehouse and looked at the night sky, sighing for no reason.
Evidently, Shien was still reluctant to see Ai Yi and Rosie leave.
Perhaps he was too used to it.
"I was the one who left before, and now that someone else is leaving, I'm not used to it."
Rosie was fine as Shien had already been reluctant to part with her when he went to the Sterling Dukedom. Moreover, after finishing his business in the empire, Shien would immediately return to see her, so he wasn't too sad.
But as for Ai Yi, Shien really didn't expect that he would be so melancholic.
As the saying went, only after losing someone would one realize how precious they were, and how much they were worth cherishing.
Although it was a little weird to use the word 'lost' in the current situation, when someone who had been by one's side for a long time was suddenly about to leave, one would often feel a lot of emotions.
That was how Shien was feeling now.
At this moment, even Shien was surprised.
He was surprised that he actually cared so much about the dragon girl's departure.
"Is that girl that important in my heart now …?"
That was how Shien felt at this moment.
"Seems like I won't be able to sleep tonight …"
Shien could only mutter to himself.
At this moment, a figure descended from mid-air and came to Shien's side.
Sensing the familiar magic power and aura, Shien instantly knew who it was.
"What are you doing in a place like this instead of being affectionate with your fiancée in your room?"
As the familiar voice entered his ears, Shien slightly raised his eyelids.
He saw that the girl hugging the pillow had just retracted her dragon wings and landed beside him.
Who else could it be other than Ai Yi?
"Why are you here?"
Shien couldn't help but sit up.
"It's nothing." Ai Yi looked at Sean and said faintly, "I just can't sleep."
That was strange.
"There are times when you can't sleep?"
Shien was really surprised.
It was so difficult to hear the words' can't sleep 'from the mouth of a Dragon Demon that was always drowsy and would fall into a deep sleep the moment he laid down.
Ai Yi naturally knew that she wasn't herself.
But she had no choice.
"Even if it's me, it happens to me occasionally." For some reason, Ai Yi said, "Back then, when the Demon King who was like my mother passed away, I also couldn't fall asleep that night."
What was the deeper meaning behind those words?
Shien felt as if he could understand, but at the same time, he couldn't.
Forget it.
In short, he should first do what he had to do.
"Come here."
Shien waved at Ai Yi.
"What?"
Ai Yi asked subconsciously.
"Let me hug you."
Shien said very honestly.
"You …"
Ai Yi immediately became annoyed.
But she didn't refuse, and didn't want to.
So, Ai Yi walked towards Shien and stood in front of Shien.
Shien didn't stand on ceremony. He directly picked up the large doll and put it in his arms.
Ai Yi then sat in Shien's arms. Being carried by Shien, they sat on the roof together.
As they gazed at the elven homeland at night, all of the anxiety, reluctance, and slight discomfort they felt before they parted suddenly vanished in this instant.
Not long after, Ai Yi spoke.
"This is unbelievable."
Ai Yi stared ahead, not even turning her head as she spoke.
"What's wrong?"
Shien didn't look at Ai Yi either. Instead, he focused all his attention on Ai Yi.
Under such a situation, Ai Yi began to speak.
"I never thought that one day, I would be held in the arms of the Hero and look at the night sky with him." Ai Yi's voice was a bit ethereal: "The Hero is our natural enemy. He should be the target of our hostility and hatred. He is also the murderer of the Demon King who was like our mother. Yet, I am so close to you, the Hero. Don't you find this unbelievable?"
Indeed, this was a very inconceivable thing.
At least, it was so for the Demons.
But Shien didn't think so.
"If you want to talk about inconceivable, then all of my experiences are inconceivable, okay?" Sean shrugged, and said, "I've already died once, but I was suddenly given a second life inexplicably. I was even summoned to a completely unfamiliar world as a hero, got to know someone like the princess, and hung out with a big shot like you all day long. No matter how I think about it, it's unrealistic, isn't it?"
Many novels in his previous life had written about how wonderful transmigration was, and how cool it was. It was as if once transmigrated, it would be like encountering a great opportunity. In the future, it would be the fate of the main character, the life of the master. It was destined to stand out, to completely overturn all the mediocre things in the real world, and to walk to the peak of life.
But for Shien, as the person involved, wouldn't he feel uneasy after being thrown into a completely unfamiliar world and having to survive and fight there?
Surely he would, right?
Not to mention, he had to change from an ordinary person who had never even fought a fight to a decisive existence who could fight with monsters and enemies. Was that really an easy thing?
Bullsh * t, right?
Anyway, Sean felt that those people who had transmigrated seemed to have become big shots all of a sudden. From a person who had not even killed a chicken to a so-called decisive and strong protagonist who dared to slash people with a knife, it could only be imagined.
Take Shien himself as an example. If it weren't for the fact that he had learned so many combat skills due to [Providence], his first thought when he encountered a monster would definitely be to run as far as possible.
After killing the monster, he vomited all over the ground in a sorry state.
Now that he thought about it, he was as unbearable as he could be at that time.
In this way, if he were to tell himself before he came to this world that he would become like that after coming to this world, would he feel happy?
It was hard to say, right?
Therefore, for Shien, everything he experienced in this world was inconceivable.
Ai Yi roughly understood it.
That was why she said it.
"It seems that we have never considered the situation of the Heroes." Ai Yi said faintly, "To us, the Heroes have always been hateful enemies. We have never thought about how difficult it would be for them to fight against us as people from another world."
Although Bravehearts were very fearsome, how could Demons be simple characters?
They were born to stand at the peak of the world and possessed innate strength. For the Heroes who had just come to this world, it was no different from a nightmare.
Knowing that they had to fight against such existences and even destroy them, the pressure in the hearts of the Heroes of the past was imaginable.
And in the end, only a small number of them had the power to threaten the Demons. The rest didn't even cross the limit of their lives before dying in the hands of the Demons. If one really wanted to be calculative, they were the most difficult.
The love and hate dispute between the Heroes and the Demons continued like this for thousands of years.
Until the war ended a thousand years ago. A thousand years later, the Hero Shien and the Demon Ai Yi snuggled together and looked at the starry sky.
Ai Yi couldn't help but think that.
"If you were summoned into this world before the war ended, then …"
Can we still become like this?
Ai Yi wanted to say that, but as she spoke, she felt a stabbing pain in her heart.
Because she knew that if that really happened, the result would be obvious. The two of them wouldn't become like this.
This made Ai Yi feel like she was suffocating.
Who would have thought …
"Then I will just throw down the Holy Sword and surrender."
Sean said these words in a serious and earnest manner.
"Huh?"
Ai Yi was stunned.
Shien became excited.
"Please, if I knew that I had to fight to the death with so many big shots who could destroy the continent and the world at a whim for no reason, I would definitely quit, okay?"
Shien rolled his eyes.
"I'm not a person of this world, and I'm not related to anyone. In the end, they gave me the title of Hero and wanted me to save the world. Those Protoss guys are probably dreaming."
That was the reality.
Perhaps Shien had already forgotten that he accepted Nyen's summon when he knew that he had to deal with the Demon King.
But even at that time, Shien would never let the so-called righteousness of saving the world get to his head and fight against the Demons.
At that time, the first thing he thought about was how to grow wretchedly. He even thought about secretly becoming stronger first, then sneak out and become an assassin to assassinate the Demon King.
This is me, a different kind of firework.
"Pfft."
Ai Yi stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
That smile was different from any smile she had shown so far.
It was not a smile that pretended to be mature, but a smile that came from the heart and was extremely pure.
"As expected, you are completely different from the other Heroes."
Ai Yi felt as if the thorn in her heart had been pulled out.
Because, she understood.
As long as Shien was still Shien, then even if he was summoned into this world before the war ended, he would still attract her attention and eventually become like this.
This was the Braveheart that she, the Demonic Dragon Ai Yi, liked and loved the most.
