"Everything in my memory is here. Although seven hundred years have passed, many scenes are no longer familiar, but I can still recall what they looked like in the past."
Ietta leaned her head against the wooden door. Her slightly dejected and sad eyes seemed to be looking at Saint Shalia and the sky further away, so her tone also seemed to be answering Saint
Shalia's question seemed like she was talking to herself. The six holy white wings behind her waist were slightly curved, covering her slender waist and pale arms. The ends of the feathers were still stained with some gray shadow, as if they were pure white.
The lingering dirt on the paper: "I remember three days ago, I rode on the back of a giant whale, flew out of the valley and into the sky. When I finally returned to the outside world, the first thing I saw was
It is the ruins of a former village."
"Everything in the village has been destroyed, only the windmills are still turning. Those windmills did not exist originally, or in other words, there is no need to exist, because I can do everything everyone wants to do with windmills.
At that time, I could even do better. At that time, I was not aware of the dangers of using this power wantonly. I was just eager to do something for everyone and create a better life for my only place in the world.
."
"But everyone, including the village chief, rejected me. He also told me that only when people restrain greed, learn to be content, and work hard with their own hands can they achieve true happiness. I have completed it for them
The most difficult step, then, just leave the rest to them."
"So, just like the village chief grandpa said, everyone began to use their own efforts to open up their homes. They set up windmills one after another, using the power of the wind to grind grains and cut wood; they built farm tools and reclaimed barren land;
Open up the frozen soil and guide the distant rivers... Gradually, the village of Avignon changed into a different look, with joyful smiles on people's faces. At that time, I also followed them to plow the fields and sow seeds.
, irrigation, and then harvesting, I personally experienced the kind of happiness that the village chief grandpa said, and I think I will never forget it in my life."
"But looking back now, I probably forgot that sentence and did not learn to be content, which led to the subsequent pain. When people do not have happiness, they will long for happiness, and when people obtain happiness, they will still long for happiness.
More happiness, greed like this, is a harbinger of disaster, not to mention that I was once a cursed person. I used my power without concealment and without restraint, without considering the consequences of doing so and the outcome.
It’s the conspiracy of the royal family and the religious order, and David’s betrayal..."
This angel, whose heart is as pure as crystal, still believes that part of the reason for the betrayal of the shepherd David, whom he regarded as a relative, is attributable to himself.
She was silent for a moment and continued: "The seven hundred years of locking myself in the windmill tower are already an extremely empty memory for me now. In the first hundred years, I often thought about what if David
I didn't betray the village. If I could have discovered something was wrong with him earlier, if I didn't show my strength and blow away the mountain range...then can I still be like an ordinary country girl?
How about living carefree in a small village that is poor but without fighting? I often think like this. Sometimes I think of myself going crazy with regret and guilt, and being suffocated at night and unable to sleep. But then one day, I suddenly
I know that this assumption is meaningless, so I don’t think so. Do you know why?”
she asked Saint Shalia.
The shepherd girl has been listening to these words quietly, like the most loyal listener. Even when she first heard Ieta say that she wanted to stay here, she did not show the slightest disappointment. Faced with this problem at this time, she seriously
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and showed an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, I don't know."
If Ieta had spent more time with Saint Xalia, she would have known that this was her mantra, but she didn't know it, so she just smiled and replied: "Because I like them very much." p>
"Grandpa the village chief, Uncle Jack, Aunt Fasu, Grandma Maria, Xiao Yinlian... and David, and many more people, all of them are irreplaceable relatives to me.
They take care of me like that, so I also like them that much. How can I still watch my family members endure a desolate and impoverished life with peace of mind when I have the power? The village chief grandpa said that happiness requires contentment.
, but if you don’t become happy first, the so-called contentment is just self-deception, right?”
She raised her head and looked at the blue sky. The shadows in her eyes seemed to be dissipating little by little, becoming as transparent and pure as the sky: "So I thought, if you give me another chance, even if I know the consequences, I will
I will do that. If what I did in the past is still the same as what I will do now, then there is no point in thinking about it, right?"
She asked, and Saint Xalia thought seriously again. This time she did not shake her head, but nodded lightly: "Yes."
The smile on Ieta's face deepened, and she no longer looked so gloomy, but rather cute and cute. She said: "So, when the whale flew over the city of Avion, I saw
When all the windmills in the city were spinning, I was actually very moved. Because they actually had no need or reason to do this. I was helping their ancestors seven hundred years ago, and it has nothing to do with the people seven hundred years later.
?They have never received any favor or sustenance from me. Despite this, they still like the wind and me. So, I also want to like them, just like the people who brought me happiness seven hundred years ago.
Like those people."
"Every minute and every second during these three days, as long as I think about leaving them, I will feel very uncomfortable, as if my heart is about to burst." The girl gently covered her heart with a weak smile.
But strong: "I heard that the wind will never leave my hometown, maybe it is the same for me, right?"
When Saint Xalia heard this, her eyes finally showed undisguised disappointment. But she did not force it, or even begged Iyeta to think about it for a while, because a sister should be tolerant to her sister, even if it is just an unqualified sister and a forgetful sister.
I lost my sister in the past, but this special relationship was destined since the birth of the world and will continue forever.
So she quickly put away her disappointed mood and said to the girl in front of her: "If this is your decision, I will be happy for you, Ieta. And..."
She thought of what happened a few days ago, and of Professor David's crazy greed and demand for power. Knowing that there is no shortage of such people in the world, she added: "Be careful."
After finishing speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had completed some arduous task.
She thought that everyone might be disappointed with this news, like Alice, Metien, and Oveira, because they were all looking forward to traveling with Ietta in the future. And Ringer, who wanted to
For him who was peeling off the golden apple, every girl's queen was a vital help, but Iyeta's answer made all his previous efforts in vain. He had to start from scratch again to find the trace of the next girl's queen.
.
In particular, the young man has been in a bad mood these past few days. After hearing the news, he may be even more angry. Although with his character, he will not take his anger out on Iyeta, not everyone can accept the futility.
The winning ending.
Saint Xalia was thinking about how she could comfort him and them, but she never thought that she was actually disappointed too. Perhaps she had long been accustomed to comforting others and never considered her own feelings.
But.
"But," Ietta said, blinking, "I haven't finished speaking yet, Miss Saint Xalia."
When the shepherd girl heard this, she tilted her head.
Under her doubtful gaze, the white-haired angel folded his hands on his chest and slowly spoke out his inner thoughts, all his true thoughts: "I really want to stay here and accompany me in this world."
The familiar land and those familiar memories, once again... bring happiness to those who I like and who also like me."
"But, I can't do such a thing just now, right? Not only because of the curse, but also because I am still very immature. I have never understood the words of the village chief grandpa, and I don't understand what happiness is for human beings.
What is the definition of contentment? If I don’t know what happiness is, how can I help others get it? So, I want to follow you on this journey to the heavenly temple where I was born.
, looking for the mother who created us, asking her to lift the curse on me, and asking her, what is true happiness in this world?"
"When the day comes when I get the answer, I think I will come back here and never leave again."
The girl's eyes seemed to be shining: "In the past, people from the royal family and the Cangtian Order were afraid of my power and called me an angel. However, such fear would only bring betrayal and destruction in the end. So, I have
I don’t want to be that kind of angel. I don’t want everyone to remember me just because of this powerful force. I don’t want everyone to treat me as an unapproachable person. I want to be someone who can bring happiness to everyone.
Angel!"
She looked at Saint Xalia, her eyebrows arched: "That's it."
