Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

Wattela also knew the attitude of the Black Iron Horse, so he just smiled elegantly twice: "That's right, I have the same idea as you. Compared to this, my confidant told me that the beasts under your command seem to be a little impatient? They seem to be planning to secretly kidnap the hacker who cracked the Narakville startup program."

"Does it have anything to do with me?"

Kurogane Ouma still looked uninterested: "I am not interested in what they want to do. They are just a bunch of rabble."

"That's true... But for me, it would be much more interesting if their action could succeed." Wattela smiled, "I'm looking forward to the power of prehistoric weapons, so... I will provide some assistance within my ability, I hope you don't mind."

"You shouldn't say these things to me."

A gust of wind swirled around him, and the black iron horse slowly flew into the sky: "Don't forget who is on this island. You can do whatever you want, but be careful of that fire beast - he has become a lot more docile, but he has never put away his fangs."

"Besides, your immortality is worthless compared to his."

A strong wind blew up.

The voice of the Black Iron King Horse slowly dissipated in the wind, and his figure disappeared into the air as well.

(Haha, worthless?)

Watara looked into the distance.

(It would be great if he could grant me a satisfying death.)

89. Don’t let waiting become regret

The place where La Folia and Sieg had a conversation was the tea room of the management commune.

It is already evening, and most members of the management commune have already gone off work, while those who stayed to work overtime have also gone to eat dinner at this time.

After pouring a glass of water for himself and La Folia, Sieg sat down on the sofa: "What do you want to tell me? Are you interested in the Kreinshid?"

“It’s hard not to be interested, right?”

La Fulia showed her longing: "That's an interstellar spaceship that can travel in the universe. You know, with our current technology and magic technology, it's quite difficult to even break through the atmosphere. It's not easy to launch a satellite into the sky, let alone travel to the depths of the universe."

"As a princess of a country, you must be very interested in something like the Clinshid, which has a technology level far beyond our understanding. To be honest, I really want to go and take a look on it."

"Unfortunately, no."

Sieg took a sip of water. "Originally, according to my own ideas, I would not tell anyone other than the crew about the existence of the Kreinshid. Even if I really had to tell them, I would have told them when we were about to leave this planet and invited them, not to mention letting you go up for a visit."

"It's really strict, but I can understand it. If it were me, I would never tell anyone about such a secret base. But I also knew that I was unlikely to visit it."

"So what do you want to ask?"

"What conditions must be met to board that ship?"

The question raised by La Folia made Sieg fall silent.

What are the conditions for boarding the Crimsheed?

Sieg had never thought about this question before. After thinking for a while, he said, "As for specific conditions... I don't think there are any. If I have to say, it means someone we can trust and who is willing to leave with us, right? At least the people on our ship are basically like this."

"Why, you want to get on board?"

"I admit that I have had such thoughts, but unfortunately, I think I can't get on the ship." La Fulia shook her head slightly, "Unlike Stella, I don't have her courage to give up everything in my country. I don't have an older sister, and my two younger sisters are still young. I need to be responsible for some of the affairs in various aspects... It's really not possible to leave with you."

This is indeed the truth.

Even Stella, she only left the country to her sister and father after she had dealt with all the affairs in that year, and she followed Sieg to start the interstellar journey. She also promised to go back and visit once in the future.

After all, if you want to go on an interstellar journey, you must be prepared to temporarily or even forever abandon everything you have now, because the universe is so vast that even if it is measured in light years, it is still extremely huge.

Even if they really went to the universe, it would be extremely difficult to find other life forms or planets suitable for living in the universe. Sieg was able to do so easily because of the Kreinsheed. If it were any other spaceship, they might not be able to find a planet to land and resupply even after sailing for hundreds of years.

"However, after I heard Stella talk about the Clinshid, I came up with a guess."

"What guess?"

"Your spaceship can teleport over very long distances, right? If I have a transmitter in my hand, and your spaceship is thousands or even tens of thousands of light years away, can you teleport me to the ship?"

"this......."

Zigg was stunned for a moment.

(Ms. Brunhilde, Miss Em. Is this possible?)

[It is theoretically possible, but from a practical point of view, this would require extraordinary magical powers! �

Brunhilde's voice echoed in Sieg's mind.

[Currently, the longest distance teleportation that the Clinshid has ever carried out is limited to between planets, and it is difficult to teleport across galaxies.]

(After all, once you leave this galaxy—let alone the Milky Way, even if you leave the solar system, it will be difficult to locate the signal on this planet. It’s not like there is nothing in the universe, so her idea is simply impossible to achieve.)

Em also expressed his opinion.

And Sieg relayed it truthfully: "——No, it can't be done. If the distance is too far, it can't be located."

"Is that so? That's a pity~~~~" La Fulia said with some regret, "I was thinking that in a dozen or dozens of years, there would be nothing in the country that I need to worry about, and I would go and roam the universe with you guys. It seems that this is really not possible."

"...If you really want to get on the ship, then you can tell us a time and we can come back to pick you up then." Sieg said, "Of course, it's just a possibility. After all, I can't guarantee that we will be able to come back by then. At least after leaving here, I have no plan to come back within a hundred years."

Sieg doesn't know how long he can live, but judging from his memories from the future, his appearance won't change much between a hundred years later and now. At most, he looks like he was 18 or 19 years old. It is basically certain that he has reached the realm of immortality, and if his regenerative ability is taken into account, he can be said to be immortal.

A mere hundred years may not be too long for him in the future.

It should be about the same for him now.

"It seems that our concepts of time have become different. For us humans, ten years is already quite long. A hundred years is even more time that many people cannot live to the fullest in their entire lives." La Fulia sighed softly, "It seems that no matter whether it is Yukina-chan or the girl named Asagi, once they are separated from you, it will be equivalent to a farewell forever."

"......I guess so."

"Haven't you ever thought of letting them on board?"

Let Himehira Setsuna and Aoi Asagi board the Crainhild?

This question, Zig had never thought about it.

"......As expected, falling in love with you is going to be a very difficult thing~~~"

Seeing Sieg's silence, La Fulia showed an expression of not having expected it: "I heard from Stella that you came to our planet to make up for the regrets of your future self, right? The purpose is to meet the friends that your future self knows, and try not to let yourself end up like your future self."

"...Why did she say everything?" Sieg pouted. "That's about right. In the future, my future self left without any regrets every time, causing many friends, teachers, students, and even lovers and descendants to say goodbye to him forever. He never saw them again until the moment they died."

Sieg didn't intend to experience that kind of regret a second time, so he came to this planet.

La Fulia smiled and said, "But what you are doing now doesn't seem to be much different from what you will do in the future. At least in my opinion, if you continue like this, you will have to face that regret again."

"...What do you mean?"

"It's better to explain some things to them clearly. At least give them some time to prepare before you leave. Of course, as for Xia Yin's matter, although I don't want it to develop to that point, if it is really necessary, I hope you can take her with you."

90. The safest place

Take Yeze Natsune away?

"Why would you want me to do this?"

"I just want to make sure there is a way out first."

La Fulia sighed and said, "I think you must have heard about how troublesome things are in the royal family. Although in my opinion, the situation of the Aldikia royal family is better than the worst ones, but even so, the royal family is still the royal family."

"It is a place full of intrigue and power struggles, with traps and conspiracies everywhere."

"Xia Yin has lived on the String God Island since she was a child. To the royal family, she is like an unpolluted white lotus. This is a good thing for her, but once she returns to the Kingdom of Aldikia, her status will definitely not allow her to remain pure forever."

After all, she is the illegitimate daughter of the former king and his lover. This identity of Yeze Natsune can easily be exploited by people with ulterior motives.

"Based on my understanding of my mother and grandmother, they will definitely not make things too difficult for Xia Yin, and I do intend to do my best to take good care of her. But I also know that I can't always protect her. One day we will make mistakes and Xia Yin will be taken advantage of."

"And if you want to avoid that situation completely..."

"——The best way is to keep her away from the royal family, right?"

Sieg understood what La Freya meant: "If we can get her to leave this planet, then nothing in this world will affect her. On other planets, Yese Natsune's identity is not worth mentioning at all. It can be said to be the safest place - is that what you think?"

"I'm sorry, Sieg, I'm once again thinking about things in the way you hate the most, but Xia Yin's matter requires me to make such preparations."

"You don't have to apologize, I understand."

Zigg smiled and said, "I hate those who scheme and plot for their own selfish desires and want to harm my friends, but you are different, right? You think this way for her safety. If I get angry about this, then I really can't tell right from wrong."

"But I can't make a decision on this matter, and neither can you - explain the situation to Yeze Natsune and let her make her own decision. After all, even if you want her to return to the country with you, she hasn't agreed yet."

"If she doesn't agree and you still want to take her away, then I will help her drive you all away."

"That would be the worst possible situation. I hope you can show mercy and spare my life~~~"

La Fulia smiled mischievously: "I understand. Let's talk about this later. I am indeed a little impatient. Also, I am sorry to bother you to go home. You and Xiao Xuecai should go back first. I still want to stay with Xia Yin for a while. At least when she wakes up, I hope she can see me."

"Okay, see you later. If you need anything, just call me. You know the number."

After saying that, Sieg turned and left.

After pondering for a while, La Freya went to the room where Yeze Natsune was again.

--------------------------

In the first floor lobby of the Cornerstone Gate.

Sitting on a bench, quietly waiting for Sieg, Himeragi Setsuna looked at the clock not far away anxiously.

(Senior... you're so slow.)

(Isn't it too long to talk to Her Highness the Princess?)

Himeragi Yukina was not too worried about Sieg. After all, she had seen Sieg's character before, and it was hard to imagine that he would do something out of line when he was with La Folia.

But La Folia is more worrying - a beautiful girl who can confess directly to someone she meets for the first time, Himeragi Setsuna's instinct as a girl tells her that La Folia is really scary in some situations.

"Hmm? Himeragi?"

Just then, a voice came from not far away.

Lan Yu Asagi appeared in front of her with a schoolbag: "Why are you sitting here alone?"

"Senior Lanyu? Are you... here to work?"

"Yes, I have to work today, so I won't be home for dinner."

Because the three families are neighbors, since Himehira moved in, Asagi has become more and more accustomed to treating Sieg's house as her own home.

"What about you? What are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting for the senior."

"Sieg? Speaking of which, he didn't come to school today. He asked for leave...wait!"

Suddenly, Lan Yu Asagi seemed to realize something, and rushed to Ji Shuai, looking at her with a scrutinizing look: "You...you are not with him all day today?"

"Eh? Yes, that's right. I'm a little worried about you acting alone..."

"Oh, so—you two went on a date for a day?"

Dating?

Ji Shu heard this and quickly waved his hands: "No! Senior and I didn't have a date, it's just that Senior had some work matters to deal with last night - and it wasn't just me and Senior, Her Highness La Fulia was also there!"

(That straight-talking queen is here too?!)

"Tsk!"

Qian Cong immediately curled her lips: "I miscalculated, you actually did this to me... You guys are awesome..."

It shouldn't be an illusion. Ji Hiiragi felt that the look in Asagi's eyes when she looked at him was filled with strong fighting spirit, just like an athlete encountering a strong opponent on the field.

"Um... Lan Yu-senpai..."

"Himehira, I'm back. Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Hey, Asagi, you're here too?"

Just as Ji Shuai was about to give further explanation, Sieg came out of the elevator and waved as he approached the two of them: "Qiang Cong, are you working part-time today? Then there will be one less portion for dinner."

"Keep it for me."
