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

Himeragi Setsuna sat upright in the lobby illuminated by the midday sun, with the instrument box containing the Snow Wolf placed beside her, her eyes slightly closed as she rested.

Not far in front of her, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, three figures appeared silently behind several lowered curtains.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Himeragi Setsuna."

A slightly soft female voice came from behind.

"No, it wasn't long, my Lords Three."

Himeragi Yukina opened her eyes and said calmly, "I'm really sorry that you three came all the way here because of my sudden request."

"It doesn't matter."

"Let's skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point. Himeragi Setsuna, we have heard about the letter you sent earlier and the will you wanted to convey. In order to continue to fulfill your mission of monitoring that alien, you decided to resign from the position of sword wizard from the Lion King Organization and follow him into deep space."

"Yes."

Ji Shu was neither humble nor arrogant, and responded squarely.

The three saints pondered for a moment, and then one of the three saints on the left said, "I think there is no need for us to say more. Since you went to Genshin Island to take up your post in early September last year, you have actually been halfway away from the Lion King Organization. Even if you are planning to leave completely now, it is not a surprise to us."

"However, the Snow Wolf is a secret weapon of the Lion King Organization. Taking it away would be a big loss to the Lion King Organization."

A vague sense of oppression emanated from behind the curtain, as if an invisible net enveloped Himeragi Setsuna.

[You can leave if you want, but Xuexia Wolf must stay]

This is what the three saints expressed in an euphemistic way.

However, as if she didn't feel the pressure at all, Himeragi Yukina straightened her back, held her head high and said, "I am fully aware of the rudeness and recklessness of my behavior, and I am also fully aware of the importance of the Snow Wolf to the Lion King Organization. Therefore, in this matter, please allow me to convey Lady Yasha's message--"

Taking a recorder out of his pocket, Ji Hiiragi pressed the play button.

Xijing Ningyin's voice suddenly sounded:

[The Xuexia Wolf will be regarded as Ji Shu's dowry. You may have opinions, but that is just me throwing a star at you.]

[Although I and others don't want to cause trouble before leaving, Ji Shu is already a member of our ship. If you make things difficult for her, just wait for me to smash the stars! ]

The recording ends here.

Ji Shu silently put away the recorder, closed his eyes again, and waited quietly for the Three Saints' reply.

Seeing her attitude, the three saints behind the curtain all felt a headache.

There is no doubt that this is robbery.

Just letting go of a sword wizard is not a big loss for the Lion King Agency. After all, some apprentice sword wizards graduate every year. But the loss of the Snow Wolf is huge. That is a martial god tool that can actually kill the True Ancestor. It is really painful to just give it away like this.

But if you say no...

"...I understand, Himeragi Setsuna."

After pondering for a long time, the three saints in the middle replied: "The Snow Wolf will be your parting gift. According to regulations, when the Sword Wizard leaves the front line, the Lion King Agency needs to give him a pension. But on other planets, worldly money is no different from waste paper, so let's use the Snow Wolf instead."

"I hope this weapon can help you in your journey across the galaxy."

"Thank you very much."

Himeragi Setsuna bowed slightly to the three people, then picked up the box containing the Snow Wolf, stood up, bowed again, and turned to leave the hall.

Looking at her leaving figure, the three saints were silent again for a while, and then a male voice sounded.

"It's really a shame to give away a unique treasure like this..."

“This is something that can’t be helped.”

The soft female voice carried a hint of helplessness.

"Those aliens are leaving soon. If we cause some trouble in the end because of some reluctance to let them go, it would be a loss."

"Besides, Princess Yasha has also made a real threat. The Lion King Organization cannot afford even a single star - this time, let's just consider it as a loss to ward off disaster."

Can spending money ward off disaster?

Silence returned to the Three Saints again.

Soon, there was no one behind the curtain.

————————————————————

Outside the shrine.

On the mountain steps surrounded by torii.

"Yes, I have successfully resigned from the Lion King Agency... Well, I also want to thank Sister Ningyin for the message, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth... Okay, then I'll wait here to be teleported back to the ship. See you later, senior."

Himeragi Setsuna, who was walking down the mountain with her musical instrument case on her back, cut off the conversation with Sieg and was about to speed up her pace down the mountain.

The beautiful figure standing in front of her made her stop involuntarily.

She was a very tall girl with a high ponytail, and like Himira, she was carrying a large musical instrument case on her back.

Ji Hiiragi recognized her: "Sayaka? Why are you here?"

Sayaka - full name Kirasaka Sayaka, is Ji Hiiragi's roommate during her training in the Lion King Agency, and one of her few friends. However, she is not a sword wizard, but another professional in the Lion King Agency [Wu Weiyuan], specializing in guarding, assassination and curse.

If Himeragi remembers correctly, Sayaka should have been in charge of monitoring and protecting Yashahime before this?

"Of course I'll wait for you here."

The girl called Sayaka took two steps forward and said, "I heard from my master, Setsuna, are you...really planning to leave here?"

"Well, I've made my decision."

Ji Hiiragi nodded gently: "Sayahua is here to persuade me?"

"...I really want to do that, but it's already this late. There's no way I can keep you here, right? After all, I was relieved of my duty as Yashahime's escort and surveillance last week, and in terms of time, these two days are the time for those outsiders to leave."

"It's just...I just can't bear to leave you."

Reaching out her hands and gently hugging Himeragi Yukina, Sayaka held her in her arms: "After you leave this time, maybe I will never see you again in this life... It's a bit painful to think about this."

"Sayaka..."

Feeling his good friend's slightly trembling body, Ji Shu also reached out and hugged her: "I will try my best to come back to see you before you die, after all, it has been confirmed that I will come back once in 65 years. If you are still alive by then, maybe I can take you on the ship with me - ah, but by then, Sayaka, you will already have your own children and family, right?"

"would not!"

With a few tears in her eyes, Sayaka suddenly raised her head: "I won't get married! Since you will come back in 65 years, I will stay single until then! But you, Setsuna! You must not be fooled by men from other planets!"

"No way~~~~"

2. Ships heading for the stars

Genshin Island, Cornerstone Gate, top.

"Are you planning to leave here?"

Holding an umbrella, Nangong Nayue looked at Qige who was standing alone in front of her.

"So ostentatious?"

"After all, we agreed with those old bats that we should let as many people know as possible when we leave." Sieg said with a smile, "This is the most central and highest place on Genshin Island. The Crimsheed will appear here later, and Asagi will take over the network and broadcast our departure live."

"You're about to leave, yet you're still making all this up... Never mind. This is the last time anyway, so just go with it."

Nangong Nayue sighed: "Half a year has passed unexpectedly quickly."

"Yeah, it was over in the blink of an eye."

Half a year has passed quickly since the incident last year.

Because of the agreement between him and the three True Ancestors, Sieg also planned to leave this planet today - from the end of November 2009 to the middle of March 11, it was almost two and a half years. Although it was much shorter than the expected stay time, Sieg would not go back on his word at this point.

"The last six months have been surprisingly peaceful."

If one were to describe how Sieg's life has been in the last six months, it would be that it has been peaceful.

In the future memory, the future Sieg stayed on Gengami Island for almost 9 months, and in those 9 months, basically one or two major events occurred every month that could lead to the destruction of Gengami Island.

In addition to the Black Death Emperor and the Model Angel, there are also witches who attempt to break the prison barrier, the world's strongest nightmare and the strongest magic beast, the ancient great alchemist, the dragon guarding the legacy of the God of Sin, the terrorist organization that destroyed the Demon Zone... There are so many various events that people have no rest every month.

But this time, nothing happened.

"After all, the whole world now knows that there lives a monster on the String God Island that can turn the War King's territory upside down."

Nangong Nayue glared at Qige.

Last year, after being taken to the War King's Domain, Sieg found an opportunity to have a big fight with the First True Ancestor. The fight between the two directly led to the complete collapse of the First True Ancestor's palace, and the capital of the War King's Domain fell into a half-month shutdown.

Since Sieg's high-profile return to Gengami Island, those individuals or organizations who have always wanted to cause trouble on Gengami Island have all shrunk back. It can be said that they were all scared by Sieg and dared not show their heads out.

"However, since you left so high-profile this time, those guys who were afraid of you and dared not show up will probably show up one after another. It's really a headache."

"But you're okay that month, right?"

Sieg smiled and said, "I have already told you some of my future self's memories. With those memories, you know some of the future events in advance. You can prepare for them then. Besides, haven't I returned several bodies of the Fourth True Ancestor to you?"

Of the twelve bodies of the Fourth True Ancestor captured by Sieg, Sieg has handed over half of them to Nangong Nayue, namely number one, number two, number four, number five, number eight and number twelfth.

After all, Em has already analyzed the beasts owned by these bodies, and the corresponding magic has also been simulated and incorporated into the True Ancestor magic. Keeping those bodies on Sieg's ship will only serve as power banks for the Krenshid, or as tactical weapons that can be deployed directly.

But the combat power on the Clinshid is actually quite sufficient, so instead of keeping them on the ship, it would be better to give them to Nangong Nayue so that she can have more helpers.

"Humph, in my opinion, you just threw a few troubles at me."

Nangong Nayue snorted coldly.

And at this moment——

“Buzz——————————!”

Accompanied by a burst of white light flashing in the air, the clear sky that was empty and cloudless the previous second was now directly blocked by a huge ship!

A huge shadow was cast onto Gengami Island.

Everyone who noticed this looked up at the sky, and after seeing the ship floating in the air, everyone showed emotions of astonishment, confusion, and surprise.

Nangong Nayue also looked up at the spaceship: "Is this your ship?"

"Well, this is your first time seeing that moon, right?" Sieg stood under the spaceship. "It is the ship that travels through the universe to slay dragons - the Crinshid. Do you want to go up and take a look?"

"...No thanks."

Shaking her head, Nangong Nayue smiled: "Next time. Maybe 65 years later, when you visit this planet again, I will board the ship with Qiancong, but let's not do that this time. I still have an unfinished mission here."

"It seems like I have to come back once in 65 years." Sieg said with a smile.

Then——

[Ah~~~Ah~~~Can you hear me? Can you hear me?]

Em's voice suddenly came from the Crainsheed.

[Sieg, the Klingshide is ready to leave this planet. We have just picked up Yukina. The others and all the luggage have been teleported back. You are the only one left.]

【Is your farewell over? 】

The volume of the broadcast was deliberately set to a level that could be heard by the entire Xianshen Island, and Em's voice reached everyone's ears.

At the same time, several drones appeared around Sieg, and the big screens on the streets of Genshinjima successively showed the image of Sieg standing on top of the Cornerstone Gate.

(Light green onion?)

Zieg thought about it, and then took out the cell phone in his trouser pocket which was vibrating slightly.

The stage is set for you

[Just leave in style under the gaze of all the gods! ]

This is a text message from Aoi Asagi.

Because she was helping Sieg with this, she was currently in the control room under the Cornerstone Gate, and couldn't come and say goodbye to Sieg at this time. However, the two of them had said goodbye properly yesterday.

Of course, it wasn't just her. Sieg also said goodbye to everyone else he met on Genshin Island.

(So--)

"See you again after 65 years, Nayue, Asagi, and Genkamijima."

Sieg waved at the drone that flew in front of him and said this with a smile.
