Because this war broke out too suddenly, the elves who were attacked were almost unprepared, and they lost an astronomical amount of resources. In order to cover up his shabbiness, Gao Bin simply moved the location of the banquet to a small lake in the east of the camp. The green grass was luxuriant, and the warm wind was pleasant. Accompanied by the moonlight, the lake water, and the tree stumps and wooden tables, it was a unique scenery.
Han Jin and the others took their seats. The tribe leaders and some elven elders also sat down. Not long after, Blanche walked over to Han Jin with an exquisite crystal teapot. She poured a cup for Han Jin and said softly, "If it's not enough, I have more." Han Jin had saved so many elves, so of course she wouldn't be stingy.
"Thank you." Han Jin smiled. He then picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. A refreshing feeling spread in his chest. The Lunar Water was indeed good stuff. He didn't want to drink the rest and was going to take it away.
Blanche walked to the side and took another teapot from an elf. She poured water for Guevara, Morrisons, and the others. However, when she walked to Dominique, she was stunned. She didn't think it through. She didn't expect such a giant to appear. The cup in her hand was pitifully small compared to Dominique's body. With this ratio, let alone drinking water, even alcohol couldn't be drunk like this.
"I'm not thirsty. Don't bother," Dominique said softly.
"We didn't think it through enough." Blanche raised her head and wanted to find an elf to exchange for a bigger cup. Then, she saw Gao Bin and Sunier slowly walking over one after another.
The scene suddenly became quiet. Many elves opened their eyes wide, ready to watch the scene of Han Jin and Sunier meeting. They didn't know that Han Jin had already gone to Wild Willow City. The elders sighed in their hearts. If you knew this day would come, why did you do it in the first place?
Gao Bin strode in front of Han Jin and smiled. "You're here." He only greeted him and didn't even need to call him by his title.
Han Jin nodded, then turned to look at Sunier. However, Sunier did not look back at him. Her head was lowered, and her watery eyes were fixed on the grass.
"Sunier, come and sit here," Han Jin said with a smile.
Sunier's reaction was out of everyone's expectations. It was as if she did not hear Han Jin's words as she kept her head down. She turned around and sat down beside Constance. All the tribe leaders and elders were shocked as they stared at Sunier.
Gao Bin was also surprised. He opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again. He glanced at Han Jin from the corner of his eyes, and a trace of worry appeared in his eyes.
Han Jin was no longer the young man he used to be. As the Lord of the Holy Crown City, his attitude influenced the likes and dislikes of a group of powerhouses, and decided the direction of an entire group. Disrespecting Han Jin was equivalent to disrespecting an entire group, and to the current elven race, it could even lead to a disastrous outcome.
Han Jin smiled. His smile was casual, as if he had already expected this situation. He then stood up and took two steps before turning back to grab the crystal teapot and cup, and strode towards Sunier. He then gave Constance a look, indicating for her to make way for him.
Constance had suffered under Han Jin before, and she did not want to affect Han Jin and Sunier. She quickly stood up and moved aside.
"This is the Moon Spring Water of the elves. It tastes good, why don't you have some?" Han Jin smiled.
Sunier of course knew who sat beside her. She could not describe the feeling in her heart. There was bitterness, pain, and a thick sourness. She looked up and turned her eyes away, refusing to look at Han Jin. As she turned her head, she saw a burly man approaching her. Sunier was surprised, "Morrisons, why are you here?"
"I miss you, of course I'm here." Morrisons said with a smile.
Sassoux and Léger also came over, and chatted with Sunier. Han Jin's entire plan revolved around one word, love! Sunier was a sentimental elf. She could ignore Han Jin for various reasons, but she would never embarrass her old friends like Morrisons and Sassoux in front of so many people. As for Han Jin, he had already mustered up his courage and was prepared to face any difficulties.
As expected, Sunier was reluctant to answer Morrisons and the other two, but her attitude was very passive. She did not say anything, and most of the time, she only nodded or smiled. That was her answer.
They were reminiscing in front of everyone, but there were not many topics to talk about, and Sunier was very passive. After a short while, Sassoux and Léger ran out of things to say. Only Morrisons continued to talk. Even if Sunier did not respond, he would still laugh and continue talking.
Morrisons' topics were very broad, but they were all related to one central idea. No matter how far he went, he would always come back to the topic. The so-called central idea was: Sunier, everyone missed you so much …
Everyone present could see that there was something strange going on. Even Sunier herself knew it. However, Morrisons was only talking to her. She had no reason to scold Morrisons, and she did not want to do so. In the end, she could only slowly lower her head and no longer respond.
Suddenly, she could not hear Morrisons' voice anymore. She raised her head and saw Stillberg and Miriam standing in front of her. Sunier's gaze fell on the pair of hands that were tightly clasped together. She said in surprise, "You guys …"
In order to avoid awkwardness, Gao Bin had already loudly called for the elves to serve up wine. In fact, he was also a little embarrassed. He had wanted to discuss the next step of the cooperation with Han Jin in front of everyone, but Han Jin was not interested in it. He had run downstairs, leaving an empty seat. Fortunately, Han Jin was there to fill the empty seat. Otherwise, he would not know who to talk to.
Sunier's attitude towards Stillberg was very good, especially after she found out that Stillberg and Miriam were married. She even pulled Miriam to her side and whispered something to her. It could be said that Sunier treated all her old friends well, except for Han Jin. She had always ignored Han Jin and refused to acknowledge his existence. However, Sunier did not mind Sunier's attitude and maintained a calm appearance.
Gradually, the crowd was divided into a few small circles. Gao Bin, Lydia, and the other elves were happily chatting with Guevara. Hatred could not be erased, but it could be temporarily forgotten. In this regard, Guevara was very open-minded. Although he was the loser in the end and tasted the loss of his home and country, that was war. If he and Zagunéd had succeeded in occupying the Holy Crown City, then the next step would have been to attack Wild Willow City. On the other hand, if he had not sent out his troops, then Dismark and Wild Willow City would not have let him go after defeating Zagunéd.
Some tribal chiefs were respectfully talking to Dominguez. Dominguez's shining silver eyes had already proved her identity. Thunder Titan! It was widely acknowledged that the Thunder Titan's combat power was definitely higher than that of a superior gold dragon. Even if they encountered a Golden Behemoth, they would still have the strength to fight. Moreover, the Thunder Titan's combat style was very comprehensive. Apart from the fact that they could not fly, they could display great combat power in both long-range and close combat. It could even be said that in the face of a group of Thunder Titans, ordinary combat tactics were completely meaningless.
Morrisons, Sassoux, and the others gathered around Sunier again. In another world, there was a saying, "Remembering the bitterness and thinking of the sweetness," and what they were repeating was nothing more than how happy they were when they were together, and how boring it was without her.
Han Jin tried to talk to Sunier several times, but he was always rebuffed. In the end, he fell into silence. Almost everyone in the hall was laughing, and only Han Jin seemed to be very lonely. Blanche wanted to come over and chat with Han Jin for a while. At least, she could not ignore Han Jin too much. However, she knew the purpose of those young people pestering Sunier, so she did not want to disturb them. She could only watch silently from afar.
At some point, Hogan brought Little Gold Bolt to the hall. Sunier was, of course, very happy, and Little Gold Bolt was also chirping non-stop. Unfortunately, magic beasts had limited intelligence, and it could not understand. There was something in the world called forcing a smile.
Late at night, the banquet ended without any real progress. Morrisons and the others, who had things on their minds, were all exhausted. Sunier was also tired. She wanted to be alone and not participate in some banquet.
After Sunier left the hall, many enthusiastic elves kept passing messages to Morrisons and the others. Sunier went into the tent, and then she came out again, and then she went south. When the elves passed on the message, they would more or less glance at Han Jin. Their purpose was obvious: they were not telling Morrisons, but Han Jin.
"Raphael, I tried my best." Morrisons coughed a few times. "Listen, my voice is hoarse."
"Raphael, actually, all of us together are not as good as you. You should talk to Sunier yourself," Sassoux said seriously.
"But Sunier has been ignoring him," Morrisons said.
"If she doesn't even talk to us, then it's really bad. Since she can talk to us, it means …" Léger scratched his head. "She still cares about the past."
"Nonsense." Morrisons finally found an opportunity to attack Léger.
"Raphael, you have to be mentally prepared." Sassoux's face was full of sympathy. "Even if you can coax Sunier, you still have to coax Yalina later. Sigh … so troublesome. You should be like me, alone and free!"
"Disgusting!" Léger rolled his eyes.
"What do you mean?" Sassoux was stunned.
"Alone and free? Then why are you still bothering Loraine?"
"Your words … why do they sound so sour?" Sassoux said, "I'm discussing magic with Loraine. Are you jealous of me?"
Morrisons's eyes shone with excitement. He looked at Léger and then at Sassoux. These two had always been in an alliance to deal with him. Now, he finally saw hope.
"Put this away for me." Han Jin suddenly pointed at the crystal teapot on the wooden table. He had only drunk two cups of the moonlight spring water before he couldn't drink anymore. Then, his body shrank into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
"Where did Raphael go?" Morrisons asked.
"Do you still need to ask? He must have gone to find Sunier, "Sassoux replied.
The elves could see that Han Jin had been treated coldly, so no one came to greet Han Jin. Gao Bin saw that Han Jin had suddenly disappeared. He hesitated for a moment, then called Lydia over and whispered a few words. Then, he stood up and said goodbye to Morrisons and the others, then walked back to the camp.
Sunier returned to the hillside. Her mind was in a mess. A serious problem was placed in front of her. The elves had suffered heavy losses. If she wanted to regain peace, she must maintain a good relationship with Han Jin. This also meant that she couldn't fall out with Han Jin. Things were so ridiculous. Back then, Ampdul forced her to marry Prudence for the future of the elves. Now, he was forcing her to reconcile with Han Jin for the future of the elves. Of course, Gao Bin wouldn't force her. He only wanted her to think and decide for herself. But the reality was in front of her. Sunier was very clear about the current situation.
However, could it be that her entire life was to be sacrificed for something?! Sunier, with her strong personality, hated the feeling of being controlled and manipulated.
A figure rose from a place not far away and stood quietly behind Sunier, silently looking at Sunier.
Sunier's back trembled. She slowly said, "Did you come to me to hear me apologize for what the elves have done to you? Or … do you want to apologize to me?" She had deliberately ignored Han Jin at the banquet because what she wanted to express could only be said by the two of them face to face. She couldn't say it out loud in front of others. She was definitely not throwing a tantrum. So when Han Jin appeared behind her, she took the initiative to speak.
"I …" Han Jin wanted to say something, but he stopped. He didn't know how to answer.
"Do you think it's meaningful?" Sunier continued softly.
"I was wrong. It's my fault." Han Jin paused. "But … I had no choice. That day, Yalina was already fatally injured, but she still tried to crawl towards me, trying to help me break free from the curse. I … Sunier, you can't understand how I felt at that time. I will never forget that scene. In fact, Yalina is now dead. If it wasn't for the fact that she signed a contract with the Phoenix, she would have died long ago! I can't let her down no matter what! "
"So, you can let me down?" Sunier smiled, but her smile was bleak. "Raphael, I suddenly realized that our relationship isn't as deep as we thought. Because you don't understand me at all."
"What …" Han Jin was stunned.
"Yalina isn't the main point. Although I feel for her … Haha, I can do it without caring." Sunier smiled again. "The most painful thing for me is that after more than two years of life and death together, why can't I gain your trust? They said that I married Prudence, so would I really marry him? Raphael, if I tell you now that I've decided to give up our past, you have no right to blame me, because you gave it up first! "
Han Jin was silent. After a while, he said in a low voice, "At that time, I was still very immature."
"And then? That's it? "
"Actually … I can see that you can't give up our past." Han Jin said softly, "Those days, those experiences, those feelings, they have already been integrated into our blood and can no longer be separated. So, although you didn't want to stay at the banquet and didn't want to talk to others, you forced yourself to not let your friends feel awkward. Haha … you also cherished Morrisons so much. Can you really forget me?"
"You …" Sunier's lips suddenly trembled, and tears finally overflowed from her eyes. "Raphael, you are so cruel! How could you say such things to me? You … are so cruel! "
"I'm not cruel. I'm afraid, afraid that you won't give me a chance to change." Han Jin sighed, took two steps forward, and slowly reached out his hand to wipe the tears on Sunier's cheeks.
Sunier turned her head away and turned her sight away from him.
"I can't forget you either." Han Jin said in a low voice, "Who shared the secret with me? Who risked their lives to hunt the Bear of Earth for me? Who was seriously injured and nailed to a tree, but still didn't forget me? Haha … If it weren't for you reminding Morrisons, I wouldn't have survived until now. "
"You've already given up." Sunier's tone was indifferent. "Besides, you don't have to thank me. If it weren't for you fighting to the death for everyone, none of us would have survived. I should be the one thanking you."
"Not bad, not bad. But for some reason, when I hear your words, I feel as if a dagger is stabbing into my chest …" Han Jin walked to Sunier's side and slowly crouched down. He stared into Sunier's eyes. "What about you? Are you in as much pain as I am? "
"Me? I'm fine. "Sunier tried her best to smile, but more tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Is that so? It seems that you're much stronger than I am. " Han Jin also smiled. "Then … continue. Think about it again. What else can hurt me more? Just say it."
Sunier stared at Han Jin in a daze, her lips trembling. She wanted to continue, but she didn't know what else to say.
"But, it's fine if you only target me." Han Jin reached out his hand to wipe the tears off Sunier's face. This time, Sunier didn't avoid it. "The method you should choose is to only hurt me. Sunier, you should learn to protect yourself."
The feeling of being touched came too late. Sunier couldn't help but slowly close her eyes.
"You can't find it, right? Do you know why? " Han Jin slowly said. "Because our hearts are connected. If I'm in pain, you'll be in pain. If you're happy, I'll be happy."
"Connected? Are we really connected?" Sunier bitterly smiled. "Then why are you doubting my feelings? You're doubting my courage?! "
"I was wrong." Han Jin once again admitted his mistake. "This is also because I was too worried about you. The elves suddenly attacked our Beitman, which already made me a little suspicious. Later, I heard from the elven prisoners that you were already married to Prudence. Later, they actually found a fake you to lure me into a trap. I …"
Sunier's hands twisted together. What Han Jin said was the truth. The instigator was Anpudula, the elves themselves. If the elves didn't suddenly launch an invasion, she and Han Jin wouldn't have misunderstood each other.
