At that moment, Lin Yan looked at these giants and wondered whether they were dead or alive. They wanted to escape the fate of the Pure Giants, but the chances of them consuming the Intelligent Giants were extremely slim, since the Intelligent Giants retained human intelligence and rationality.
The Unsullied Giants, on the other hand, can only act on instinct.
This is the difference between them.
Even those as fortunate as Ymir will die thirteen years later; this is the fate that intelligent giants must face, an inescapable curse that has lasted for thousands of years.
“And there’s Christa… no, she should be called Historia Reis. The only way to find clues about the walls is through her.”
“I’ve already seen her background in the report. She’s an illegitimate child of the noble Reiss family. She is indeed very unfortunate, but why would a minor local noble family…”

"Would local nobles know the secret of the giant wall?"
The reason he said that was because Alvin Smith really didn't know anything about the Reiss family's background.
The most legendary family in Attack on Titan is the Reiss family. The members of this family have royal blood, and only they can fully unleash the power of the "Founding Titan".
Similarly, they can also be said to be a clan that is deeply bound, forever confined to Paradis Island. With the "goddess" Historia delivering the final blow to her father, who had transformed into the largest Titan in history, only Historia remained of this family.
With royal blood, she is about to succeed as "Queen" and become the master of the inner palace.
What seemed like a perfect dream was, in reality, nothing more than a puppet; the pitiful "goddess" ultimately couldn't control her own destiny. Moreover, at this point, Historia no longer had the one who loved her most, her only Ymir.
Neither Erwin Smith nor Levi were aware that certain things were already happening in the shadows, such as what happened to Father Nick. He was currently imprisoned, and he was seriously contemplating his faith and choices; he was a man who was both timid and fearless.
Knock knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.
Father Nick has his own destiny to face, and so do Alan and Lin Yan. For example, Alan Yeager, who has failed time and time again, is also filled with self-blame.
"Allen, you need to lie down and rest properly."
Mikasa saw Eren Yeager enter through the door, and Eren Yeager said something with an indifferent expression.
"No need, I've already rested for a whole day."
Currently, both the world inside the walls and the forces outside are racing against time. As long as Eren doesn't master hardening, the walls cannot be closed, and the battle between humanity and the Titans will not achieve further victory. This is a very difficult task.
Therefore, Allen also appeared extremely anxious.
"Moreover, because of me, the operation to retake Wall Maria had to be delayed, and I was the only one who wasn't prepared... I'm the one who dragged things down, how can I lie in bed and rest as if it's my due?"
This awareness is good.
However, unless pushed to that point, Allen's potential cannot be fully realized. No one understands this better than Lin Yan. His first transformation was due to a critical situation, and his subsequent hardening was also a potential that erupted in a critical moment.
Unfortunately, even the omnipotent Lin Yan...
It is also impossible to do that.
"This is not Allen's fault. Don't think like that. It's not your fault."
"Allen."
Lin Yan took a sip of tea and interrupted Mikasa, saying, "I might know the secret to your success. Would you like to hear it?"
"Or do you think the same way I do?"
Armin looked at Lin Yan and said.
Lin Yan nodded in agreement.
The others looked at them as if they were speaking in riddles, some puzzled but wanting to hear them continue, all showing curious expressions.
Lin Yan said jealously.
"I suspect that the source of your potential is—having a clear internal goal."
0643 Connie's Hatred - The Hairy Giant [Please Subscribe]
"But this clear goal is something that happens in an instant and is about to get out of control. For example, someone you cherish is about to die, and if you can't gain the power, you will lose them..."
"In short, your potential will be unleashed in life-or-death situations, but such opportunities are hard to create, and we can't let certain people deliberately put themselves in danger. However, sometimes even deliberately created traps may not meet the conditions, because sometimes there is still a glimmer of hope in one's heart, and it can only happen when the moment really comes."
Lin Yan's narration captivated everyone's attention, and Armin was the most attentive listener, as some of his previous views coincided with Lin Yan's statements.
Most importantly, some of Lin Yan's words enlightened Armin.
A single conversation with you is worth more than ten years of study.
Armin is quite quick-witted and has a very clear way of thinking; he can always come up with some unexpected ideas.
However, he still lacks some experience compared to Lin Yan.
They also lack talent.
"Why didn't I think of that before?" Armin suddenly realized, but once he understood this point, he knew why.
This is something that cannot be forced.
In the secret underground cavern of the Reiss family manor, Allen is chained to a high platform, while Historia is reunited with her biological father, Rod Reiss. Through physical contact with the Reiss father and daughter, some of Allen's dormant memories are awakened.
Historia realized that although the Reiss family had been able to control Titans for over a hundred years, they had done nothing to save humanity. She refused her father's request to consume Eren's Titan power, broke the syringe, and attempted to free Eren.
At this moment, the Survey Corps arrived to rescue the two.
At his wit's end, Rhodes licked the giantification injection spilled on the ground, transforming into a crippled, crawling colossal giant, which in turn damaged the cellar and brought it to the brink of collapse.
Just as the entire legion was about to perish in the collapsing cave, Eren discovered a bottle labeled "armor" that Rod had brought along with the Titan transformation injection. In a desperate move, he bit through the bottle and transformed into a Titan, successfully hardening his entire body to support the cave and save everyone.
This is the perfect time for Allen to complete the hardening process.
"Since Lin Yan said so, there must be an opportunity for you to have the ability to harden. I believe in you."
Mikasa said with a determined look in her eyes.
At the same time, other people also became more proactive.
“Yes, we can do it! I’m going to fight the hairy giant too!” Connie said bitterly. The tragedy that befell his homeland was caused by that hairy giant; he was the culprit, he was the enemy.
I must personally avenge my enemy.
Connie has always been someone who, once he sets his mind on something, will definitely achieve it.
The power that bursts forth from his small stature is astonishing.
“I will never forgive that monkey-like guy…” Connie suddenly noticed Lin Yan seemed to have thought of something, and asked with a gleam in his eyes, “Lin Yan, you know so many things, do you also know about that hairy giant? If you know, you must tell me, no matter what it is…”

"Hair giant?"
Lin Yan naturally knew about the Beast-haired Giant, also known as the Ape Giant or the Beast Giant.
Its form and abilities are also closely related to its host.
Zeke Jaeger's Beast Titan resembles a gibbon, covered in body hair. It is enormous, with arms reaching below its knees.
After Connie asked the question, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Lin Yan. Everyone's eyes revealed an eager expression. After all, everyone had a desire for information about the Titans, and they certainly could not miss any opportunity or way to learn about the Titans.
In particular, Alan Yeager blurted it out.
"Yan, if there's anything you know, you absolutely mustn't hide it from us. You know how important the giants are to us, even the smallest details..."
Mikasa hesitated, her brows furrowed.
“Eren, don’t pressure Lin Yan. Although we all know that Lin Yan is likely from outside the city walls, we don’t know how much suffering he endured to be found by Captain Levi again. We can’t force him to recall those past memories… Even if Lin Yan fought against ten men single-handedly, it’s already a miracle that he survived outside the walls. And don’t forget that Uncle Hennessy has already passed away. Who fought to the death to buy us time to escape? If it weren’t for Lin Yan… not only me, but you and Armin would have died on the spot… Have you forgotten?”
These memories are deeply etched into Mikasa's memory.
She never forgot it for a moment.
Even during the time Lin Yan disappeared, Mikasa was constantly worried about his safety.
At this moment, Mikasa did not want to reopen these wounds and expose them to the sunlight again, for that would be heart-wrenching.
Although Lin Yan did not have such tragic memories or experiences.
However, she still felt an unprecedented warmth from Mikasa's care and protection.
This is love from this strong young woman.
"Thank you, Mikasa."
Lin Yan was somewhat moved.
Perhaps Lin Yan will intervene more in the subsequent selections, after all, humans are not plants or trees, how can they be without feelings? In this world, Lin Yan has already subtly changed, and those influenced by him have changed, such as Mikasa, Sasha, Historia, and others.
"I think Mikasa is right."
“That’s right, we can’t always rely on Lin Yan.”
"That's right, that's right."
"I think so too."
"We will always be together. We must protect and safeguard each other so that we can persevere until the final victory."
Smiles graced everyone's faces, though they might be fleeting. At this moment, everyone was thinking of Lin Yan, and their hearts were filled with hope. In the countless dark days to come, these rays of sunlight would also bring them hope.
"sorry."
"fine."
Lin Yan smiled calmly.
Now it was time to change shifts.
During this period, everyone took turns standing guard to ensure safety and vigilance within a certain area. Historia looked at Lin Yan with envy; he always managed to unite everyone's hearts.

This is a kind of personal charm.
"If only I could do that someday, be able to protect everyone like him, and be trusted by everyone..." Historia looked at Lin Yan with admiration in her eyes and thought to herself, the girl's admiration was evident.
Since Ymir left, Historia seemed to have lost all motivation, only finding renewed vitality when she saw Lin Yan. She wanted to save Ymir, but didn't know how. Then she thought about it carefully—it was Ymir's choice; did she really have the right to interfere?
Everyone else had left, leaving only Historia and Lin Yan. Her voice was still somewhat delicate, but she had more courage than before.
"Um... Lin Yan... I wanted to ask your opinion."
"Okay, you say."
Lin Yan turned around and drove Historia.
He experienced all sorts of worlds, met all kinds of people, and tasted the bitterness and sweetness of human life. Among them were cruel wars, twisted betrayals, and the ugliness of human nature... which would have made him lose all compassion.
Yet I still felt pity for Historia.
This girl, though born into nobility, endures pain and torment that most people cannot bear. In the future, she will have to shoulder a heavy burden that her frail shoulders cannot bear.
Is this really fate?
perhaps……
Is this world really just cruel?
There was no way for people to resist.
“When Ymir left, I really wanted to save her; that feeling was very strong at the time… But after I calmed down and thought about it again, I felt that I didn’t have the right to think that way… Maybe that was Ymir’s choice…”
Historia looked at Lin Yan with a pitiful expression, her eyes filled with longing for an answer. She may have been troubled by this for a long time but had not received an answer.
"Tell me what I should do."
“I will make sure you see Ymir. Ymir wants to see you all the time… She is the most incomprehensible yet the purest person in the world… Especially for you, Historia, you must see Ymir.”
Lin Yan said earnestly.
If Lin Yan felt a sense of pity for Historia...
Then how innocent was Ymir?
Her fate was so full of hardship.
In Ymir's life, he was a tragic figure who lived his whole life for others, but Lin Yan was unwilling to accept such an ending.
