People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

Suddenly, a soft and tender girl's voice echoed in my mind.

"Kurara? What's wrong?"

He forgot one thing, a very serious thing, about Kurara.

"...It is like this, Master. Since you have come to the top of Giant Mountain, I remembered something..."

"Once upon a time, my sister and I sat down and made a pact to look at the beautiful stars together..."

"...So... Master, can you take me to the Stargazer Ruins to find my sister? Please..."

At the end, Krala's voice was filled with pleading and humility. If she were a human, she would probably be on the verge of tears.

But after listening to it, he suddenly remembered that this was indeed the case.

Kurala was originally just a crying stargazing girl, and also a girl who was looking for her distant hometown.

Although Kurara's presence is weak and she rarely speaks, she can be said to be one of his favorite ashes.

So he stopped Torret who was moving forward and said to Melina and Ashmi:

"We might have to take a slight detour and go to the Stargazer ruins up there."

Standing in the snow, Ashmi looked at the end of the river not far away, then turned his head to look at Reinhardt, looking confused.

"Master, what happened all of a sudden?"

We were almost reaching our destination, why did we suddenly change our route?

Still going to Stargazer Ruins???

230. Kurala and Kuralis (6.3K)

"Kurara, are you sure this is the place?"

"That's right, Master. This is my hometown—the place where the stargazers once lived."

Kurala slowly floated in the air, dancing gracefully, as if expressing her joy of returning to her hometown.

Although he said so, Reinhardt's eyes couldn't help twitching as he looked at the scene in front of him.

Zundu, why does it look even more shabby and dilapidated than I remember?

So he turned around and asked:

"Melina, and...Ashimi, what do you two think?"

"I'm sorry, Faded One, I'm not very familiar with the legend of the Stargazing Girl."

The synchronization rate was very high, and both of them shook their heads at the same time.

Reinhardt: “…”

Directly in front of them was a ruined area filled with ancient relics. Apart from a large number of tombstones, there were no soul jellyfish to be seen, nor anything related to the stargazing girl.

It is no different from the ruins in other places in the border area. It is also dilapidated and broken, and even more simple than other places.

Are you sure you're in the right place?

He looked at Kurara, who was dancing happily, with some doubt.

Stargazers were once a group of people who chased the stars, looking for their own destiny in the starry sky. They were the predecessors of the Pyroxene Magicians and also the predecessors of Kalia.

The starting point of pyroxene magic, the oldest origin magic - Star Shower, was discovered and created by ancient stargazers in the past.

It is also the earliest existence that seeks the origin, and it is also the path that the pyroxene magician should have taken.

It’s a pity that everything has fallen into decline now.

The stargazers no longer exist. [Full Moon Queen] Reinara and [Moon Princess] Lani are probably the only stargazing girls left on the borderland.

"But this is indeed a great place to chase the stars."

I looked up at the starry sky. Although it was not as clear as the starry sky of Lienia, it was much clearer than other places.

Because the top of Giant's Mountain is the closest place to the sky.

"Boom-thump-thump-"

The dull sound of the distant bells echoing in my ears is refreshing.

"As the saying goes... the evening drum and the morning bell awaken the world's fame-seekers, and the sound of sutras and the Buddha's name call back the charming dreams in the sea of suffering." Looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance and feeling the light of the fading sun, Reinhardt couldn't help but sigh.

"...What do you mean?" Melina tilted her head and looked at him curiously.

"Nothing, let's go and take a look inside."

He smiled, without explaining anything, and walked into the ruins with the two people and the jellyfish.

Once upon a time, the stargazers of the snowy mountains lived side by side with the fire giants, which was the origin of the Sword of Night and Fire.

However, now it is not just that simple. We are also the neighbor of the Holy Snowfield. In the distance there is a magic tower owned by the Origin Magician, and then there is the Thor City and the spirit temple wandering in the snowfield.

"Ah...sister...sister...where are you?"

Suddenly, a faint whisper was heard from the ruins.

Deep in the ruins of the Stargazer, there was a jellyfish about the same size as Kurala floating there. It gently moved its tentacles, stroking the mottled and broken walls, and its voice was full of longing.

"Master..."

As if sensing the other person's presence, the Kurula pillow nestled in his arms let out a faint murmur.

She struggled slightly from his embrace, becoming restless, gently waving her tentacles and spinning in circles.

As if expressing his joy of reunion.

"Go."

"Thank you, Master!"

Reinhardt waved his hand, and Kurara, receiving instructions, quickly floated towards the depths of the ruins.

Seeing this, Ashimi seemed to want to follow him, but he was grabbed by the collar.

"What do you want to do?"

"...Master, Ashimi also wants to go and see it...Aren't you interested in such a touching scene of sister reunion?" Ashimi looked at him pitifully, hoping to get his consent.

Unfortunately, the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.

"I'm not interested. Why would you join in the fun of sisters reuniting? Leave the time here to them."

While scolding Ashmi, he grabbed her collar and dragged her outside.

"Wow... Master, you are so heartless."

"Ah, yes, yes, that's what I am."

When Melina saw this scene, a smile slowly appeared on her fair face.

...Times like this are so great.

But I...

A hint of reluctance and sadness appeared in that beautiful single eye, but it soon turned into determination.

Even if it is just for this short-lived beauty, she will give everything to protect it.

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

"....Sister, where have you been?"

At the entrance of the Stargazing Ruins, a childish and ethereal voice quietly echoed, but it inexplicably revealed a hint of lament.

Inside the ruins, a beautiful soul jellyfish was floating in the center of the ruins, talking to itself, staying motionless in the same place, as if waiting for someone to come.

"Didn't we make an appointment?"

"When I turn 14, we'll go stargazing together..."

"I have been waiting for a long, long time..."

Anyone can hear the loneliness in these words.

She is Krala's sister——

Before his death, he made a promise with his sister that they would chase the stars together when the 14-year-old stargazing girl came of age.

But I never waited for my sister.

Until death and transformation into soul jellyfish, it will still remain here, allowing the world to change with the times.

Even though the stargazing spot was reduced to ruins, even though the snow mountain giants were conquered by the golden forces, even though the Shattering War came, she still stayed here and continued to wait, waiting alone for her sister's arrival.

However, this wait finally came to fruition at this moment.

"...younger sister."

The soft call lingering in her ears made her stop whispering. She turned around slightly and finally saw the person she was waiting for.

"...Ah, dear sister, you finally came to me."

There was a hint of excitement and joy in his voice. He ran over quickly as if jogging and gently picked up Krala's tentacles.

"..Sorry dear sister, I'm late."

Krala's voice was filled with guilt.

“It’s okay, sis.

Come on...we're running out of time, let's go and see the stars together."

She gently took Krala's hand and slowly floated out of the ruins.

For her, no matter how long she waits, as long as her sister comes, it is all worth it.

Standing outside the ruins and listening to the movements inside, Reinhardt seemed to see two girls at this moment, holding each other's hands and chasing the stars with cheerful steps.

"If they were to survive, perhaps they could actually reach the stars and meet their destiny, right?"

Looking at the beautiful yet dangerous night sky with shining stars, Reinhardt couldn't help but sigh.

It was like seeing Lenara and Lani at the full moon and dark moon.

They will definitely achieve great success and become sister magicians.

But all this is just if.

The dead are gone, and even in today's world where life and death are blurred, the dead cannot become alive again. This is the law of nature, a law that everyone needs to abide by.

Even the once most powerful [Eternal Queen] Marika could not disobey.

"But... fortunately, I can still add some excitement to them."

A gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took out the pyroxene weapon from his waist and waved it gently.

"Creation Star Shower."

As the surging magic power gradually gathered, in an instant, a majestic nebula suddenly appeared and completely covered the sky.

A quiet and pure white meteor fell from the sky, leaving a light blue trail.

One.

Two...

A magnificent meteor shower unfolded in front of the two sisters like a torrential downpour.

"Sister, look, what a beautiful meteor shower."

"Yes, sister, it is indeed beautiful."

Krala and her sister looked up at the nebula together, and she stretched out her tentacles and gently wrapped them around her sister's body.

She doesn't have the crybaby look that she showed in front of the faded ones, and she is always shy, but she is always working hard. Instead, she really looks like an older sister with a younger sister.

"Eternal darkness."

Reinhardt wielded the pyroxene a second time.
