Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

"If you could recall the memories of the past, would it help in restoring the Temple of the Moon Goddess?"

Violet pondered for a moment and asked the two of them.

"Violet, do you have a way?"

Sigrid asked in surprise, nodding affirmatively at the same time.

"Do you know? Buried in the Saint Kray Temple is a gemstone called the Forget Dust Star. It's said that if you touch the Forget Dust Star at night, you might be able to return to a phantasmagoria of the past, to once again experience beautiful memories with your current self, or try to see what it would be like if you made different choices. A shared touch can reach memories both parties share."

Violet remembered that Hesintos once searched for the Forget Dust Star in the monastery.

She initially did not believe the legend of the Forget Dust Star was true.

At that time, she couldn't read Hesintos' expression after his search; she only thought Hesintos was regretful for not finding the Forget Dust Star.

Looking back now, Hesintos might really have found it.

So perhaps the Forget Dust Star really is in the Saint Kray Temple.

"Why do you show such an expression when you mention the Forget Dust Star?"

Lanci observed Violet's eyes and asked her.

Generally, when he hears rumors, Lanci tends to take a wait-and-see approach before investigating. But seeing Violet's expression, he felt the legend of the Forget Dust Star might be true.

"I deeply regret it. Perhaps I missed what might have been the only chance to save Hesintos."

Violet shook her head, her hand gripping the blanket tightly.

"Actually, you were probably the only light in his life. That day he wanted to kill you, too, to completely sever his illusion and plunge himself into darkness, but he couldn't bear to be that ruthless."

Lanci roughly shared his guess.

In the memories he saw of Hesintos, Violet unexpectedly resembled Hesintos' sister quite closely.

Every time Hesintos saw Violet, he probably experienced an extremely complex set of emotions. He might have thought of deceiving himself, playing a competent First Army God in the false Gentle Town, enduring a lifetime just getting by. Or, seeing Violet might have made him realize even more clearly his inability to let go of his hatred. The more real she was, in Hesintos' view, the more fake the world seemed.

"As an ambitious person, Hesintos is a bit awkward; he lacks the pure evil of Asksan and the carefree letting-go of everything like Ivanos, ultimately stuck in the middle."

Sigrid assessed this formidable enemy.

Walking to the ward earlier, she also heard Lanci finish recounting the Flower City incident's inside story.

"So I deeply regret it. Perhaps I had a chance to stop Hesintos before everything became irreversible."

Violet, holding the cat, lowered her head, her voice a bit hoarse.

"Can he truly let it all go?"

Sigrid asked Violet.

Hesintos was merely a ticking time bomb.

"..."

Violet didn't immediately respond.

She couldn't provide an answer either.

But if Hesintos could pretend to be a good person for a lifetime, it would be almost like he really was a good person.

"It's a pity Rashal added fuel to the imperial fire at a critical moment, allowing Hesintos to see the possibility and opportunity of overthrowing the imperial regime. He managed to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at the last moment."

Lanci relayed on behalf of Violet.

The secret to luck is that some people wait in advance at locations where luck could happen.

Hesintos was clearly someone who would be prepared for such opportunities.

He indeed seized the chance.

"Damn Rashal!"

Sigrid, seemingly understanding what Violet was thinking, cursed.

The name Rashal brought an aversion to her.

Back in the Blood Moon Bad World Era, Calila's death was due to Rashal's hand.

However, in the final chaos of the National Day Festival, Rashal was blocked by the combined forces of Third Army God Ge Yate and Eleventh Military God Simon Luo. Perhaps in some time, once Lanci's Nuclear Fusion Wolf calmed down, they would help the empire make Rashal disappear completely.

"By the way, Violet, are you sure the Forget Dust Star is in the monastery?"

Lanci brought the topic back and asked Violet.

If Saint Kray Temple really housed such a stone, then he and Sigrid could look for it later, since they both had nothing pressing to do.

From what he knew, the Saint Kray Monastery covered a vast area but was still better than searching within Brilda.

"Yes, there should be many at the lake bottom. Even if Hesintos took some, he couldn't have taken them all."

Violet nodded.

"So, can the two of us return to the Northern Continent for another round of travels?"

Sigrid suddenly asked Lanci.

"Are you thinking of Lausang?"

The moment Lanci caught Sigrid's gaze, he understood the place Sigrid most wanted to visit.

The Northern Border of the Protoss Empire, Bandera City.

"Do you miss him too?"

Sigrid asked Lanci.

"Very much."

Lanci, somewhat moved, clenched his fist slightly.

"Shouldn't we go for a round?"

Sigrid suggested.

"Absolutely."

The two of them agreed in an instant, clasping hands.

"..."

Violet, holding her cat, slightly opened her mouth.

I mean, you both finally have the chance to revisit old places in a phantasmagoria as a date.

But you both thought of going to fight an old enemy you couldn't defeat before?

What kind of enemy would keep you so persistently concerned!
