Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Anyone but you will leave halfway down this road.

You don't know where this road ends, and you don't have a companion who can stay by your side forever.

All you can do is memorize each of their faces.

Then, continue walking down.

Do you know what the most painful thing is?

[The speaker] looked at the night sky and spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu leaned his head back against the door and whispered:

"You don't know whether all of this really has any meaning, even if you reach the end."

"Because even if you really reach the end, the people you care about will never come back."

"You have brought the ship of the new era to its destination, but those who once towed the ship, those who disembarked midway, are now forever asleep at the bottom of the sea, carrying with them everything that once was between you and them."

"..."

"..."

Silence, long silence.

[The speaker] finally spoke, looking at Luo Xiu with a mixture of relief and exhaustion in his eyes, his voice hoarse and trembling:

"That's why I sealed my memories."

"You walk this path for me, to the very end, and then tell me if it all made any sense."

Luo Xiu looked at the night sky:

Even if I reach the end, you won't be able to see me anymore.

[The author] laughed:

"You are me."

Luo Xiu closed his eyes, his mind filled with everything he had seen and heard along the way.

From Wheel Town to Kanril and then to Rovamp.

His memories of this world are far less vivid than those of the [Guide], but he loves this world just as much as the [Guide].

He stood up, stretched, and smiled.

"I will walk to the end of this road."

"If the end result of this road is not what I want, then this is not the end of this road."

"I will take back everything that you and I missed and regretted."

"Once I find the result I want, come and see for yourself the end of this road."

The author also laughed:

"Then you might go even further than I have."

Luo Xiu stood there, his long black robe swaying gently in the night, his gaze calm and steady.

"How far is considered a long road?"

"Only by keeping moving forward."

[The author] Upon hearing this, he didn't say anything more, smiled, then reached out and picked up Nika, who was standing beside him, and stood up:

"I'll take Nika to do what I promised her. As for the things I promised but couldn't do, I'll leave them to you."

After saying that, he seemed to think he had gained something and gave Luo Xiu a smug smile.

Luo Xiu seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted:

"Including all the romantic entanglements you've caused?"

[The speaker's] expression froze:

"Really? I don't remember. I've never been married, so I don't think I have."

Luo Xiu rubbed his neck:

"Really? That's for the best. It seems Olivia really does like me. I thought it was you."

[The speaker's] smile was stiff:

"Is it necessary for us to be so clear about things?"

Luo Xiu smiled brightly:

"It was just a casual remark, don't take it to heart."

……

……

After another conversation, the [Leader] left with Nika. Luo Xiu observed his increasingly dim figure and knew that he would completely disappear in at most half an hour.

The two did not say goodbye, nor did they wait until his last second of disappearance.

Perhaps, as he said, he was merely a phantom of memory, something that should never have existed.

Whether in the past or present, it is all Luo Xiu himself.

The conversation that just took place was between Luo Xiu and his past self.

The entire night sky and the giant gate were absorbed into Luo Xiu's body. With a light step, Luo Xiu appeared beside Miler.

"Mirel, let's go."

The two slowly walked towards Mammon Street.

Miler looked at the smile on Luo Xiu's face with some confusion.

From her perspective, Luo Xiu and Nika suddenly disappeared from the spot, and when they returned, only Luo Xiu was left.

"Did something happy happen to the master?"

"Millet said softly."

"Yes, everyone has their own things that make them happy."

Luo Xiu nodded, not telling Milier what had just happened, but instead speaking to Milier:

"Mirel, what makes you happiest?"

"Is it related to you, Master, or not?"

Milair's logical sequence is very clear.

"Of course it has nothing to do with me."

"Promotion!"

Milair answered without hesitation, her eyes practically sparkling when she mentioned those two words.

"I see. Then I'll appoint Milair as my subordinate commander-in-chief of operations!"

Luo Xiu said with a smile.

"Really?!!"

Miler looked at Luo Xiu with surprise.

Luo Xiu smiled, his eyes crinkling slightly.

"of course it's true."

"Thank you Master!!"

Milair clenched his fists excitedly, wishing he could jump up from the ground.

Even after a long while, the joy still filled her mind.

She could already picture herself in armor, commanding the three armies.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she looked at Luo Xiu beside her and hesitated before speaking:

"Master, what is the main responsibility of the General Commander of the War Department?"

"It's about handling public affairs, expense reimbursement, calming residents, and preventing riots..."

Luo Xiu continued listing examples, his eyes gradually curving into crescents, while Miler's expression gradually crumbled.

"This, this, isn't this still what I'm doing right now...?"

……

……

The small shops on Mammon Street couldn't accommodate so many people, so after letting Miler return to the Knights first, Luo Xiu teleported to the alchemy shop.

The door to the alchemy shop was already installed.

It's a mahogany door with fine grain and a faint woody scent; it's clearly a high-end product.

Before Luo Xiu could even push the door open and go inside, Leila had already excitedly flung the door open and rushed over:

"Master, you're back!"

"came back."

Luo Xiu ruffled Leila's hair, then looked at Olivia, who was looking resentful inside the room, and smiled:

"Auntie, why didn't you greet me?"

"I don't want to fight!"

Olivia, wearing an apron and a headscarf, was manipulating magic to clean the ceiling, her face full of resentment.

"I haven't lived in such a shabby place in years!!!"

Luo Xiu slowly walked up to Olivia.

"What, what?"

Olivia's eyes widened as she watched Luo Xiu approach, then she shrank back.

"I'm warning you, don't be rude to your aunt."
