Chapter 2877: The Final Lesson

Looking at the girls sitting in front of the blackboard again, except for Miss Fiona Delage, everyone else had opened their eyes. The cat seemed to have nothing to do, and was in a very unhappy mood on his shoulder at this moment.

Emilia had a scared expression on her face:

"Xia De, are you okay? When you turned into a crystal statue just now, you scared us all. Little Mia seemed to want to break the crystal with her claws, but you changed back quickly."

"I turned into crystal... I'm fine."

Xia De shook his head in a daze, touched the brave and loyal cat, and looked down at his hands. Just now, among those crystals, he clearly felt that he had really touched the moon. Returning to reality at this moment and realizing the ending of the story just now, realizing his choice, he didn't regret not letting go at the end, he was just disappointed that it wasn't real.

"It seems that if I want to touch her, I still have to find the remains of the real original moon."

As for the brand-new maze, he knew that God wanted him to understand the truth of "restraint," but it was obvious that he didn't pass the trial of this last lesson. This was both him telling a story and God giving them a lesson. And the girls sitting in front of him, Iluna, Emilia, Miss Bister, and Miss Fiona Delage, obviously all passed God's "final lesson."

They should have gained something because of their self-awareness and letting go of obsession. From this point of view, Xia De was undoubtedly a failure. He was actually very grateful that God still gave him a chance, which was the normal effect attached to the maze. It's just... even at this moment, he didn't think he could let go.

He missed those purple eyes, but still wanted to see her and touch her for real. This was the determination he made when he opened his eyes in the summer of 1853 and heard "her" voice. The outsider... he was rarely confused at this moment:

"Am I right?"

This time, "she" didn't give any response.

However, the acquisition of the profanity 【Light of Crystal】, plus the miracle 【Dark Night】, enlightenment 【Direction】, and whisper 【Cowardice】 obtained before, all the spiritual runes of the eighth ring were complete, and the sublimation language spiritual rune was also in hand, so he could advance to the ninth ring.

As for the power of this fairy tale maze, he knew that it was very similar to the effect of the sublimation language obtained during the Moon Bay event. But he still had to try the specifics himself. The "Daughter of the Sea" obtained during the Moon Bay event could reverse time to save so many lives, so "freezing time" should also be able to play a role in the final battle.

"Fairy Tale Town" now had an extra crystal forest, and among those beautiful stories, there was an extra stubbornness that Xia De could never let go of.

God had already stood up and stood on the other side of the blackboard at this time. Seeing Xia De looking at Him, He didn't discuss right or wrong with Xia De again:

"This is the homework I gave you after class. Although I won't check the completion of this homework, you should also be curious about what choice the future you will make, right?"

Xia De bowed deeply to this god.

The goddess in the black robe then pointed to Xia De to observe Miss Fiona Delage who was still closing her eyes:

"Do you know what she really is?"

Iluna, who was worried about Xia De's situation, answered, not forgetting to raise her hand:

"Miss Fiona Delage is the last person to leave this academy, right?"

"But I guess she didn't leave in the end."

The Gray Wolf witch added in a low voice, the voice was really very small:

"We guessed that she was the last person to stay in the academy, and she was also prepared to close this academy. But she didn't want to accept the reality that this academy was abandoned until the end, so she didn't know how she had been lingering here. The her we met should be a soul that didn't know how long she had stayed here because of stubbornness and didn't want to leave?"

God looked at His believer who was closing her eyes gently:

"Many people didn't want to let this place close, but in the end, they all let go of their obsession and went to embrace a new life. Only she missed the days of living here, missed the feeling of exploring knowledge, and missed the feeling of passing her knowledge to young people.

After this place was closed for the last time, she lived here for many, many years. She didn't really die, but she couldn't be considered still alive. This lesson was actually originally prepared for her. I hope she can think clearly that this place is going to be destroyed, and she should also let go. She needs to continue walking forward."

"But Miss Fiona Delage hasn't woken up yet... is she in the story, turned into eternal crystal?"

The little elf asked in a low voice, very worried about this friend she had just met, but actually didn't know that among everyone, the only one who was "stupid" and didn't let go until the end was actually Xia De who was just touching the cat on the side without speaking.

"A thousand-year obsession will not be easily resolved by a story. So, I let you participate in this course. Every time you let go and leave, you can pass that sense of relief to her. This is also the advantage of a multi-person classroom. Students are very easy to learn knowledge they don't understand from others. But it's a pity..."

God looked at Xia De. Xia De knew that it was probably his stubbornness that caused the relief of others to have no effect.

"Can we still help her? In a while, everyone is going to leave. Leaving her alone here is too pitiful."

The maid with the dragon tail raised her hand and asked in a low voice. After that lesson, she also had the courage to talk to God.

God nodded:

"Although I respect the believer's self-will, since she is not willing to turn back actively now, you go and pull her."

God didn't explain what they should do, but everyone seemed to understand. So the surrounding environment changed again. It was just that this time it didn't return to that forest, and there was no encounter with a beautiful businesswoman.

The setting sun shone on the ancient academy castle, letting the shadows of many desolate and dilapidated buildings fall into the empty and huge courtyard. It was like a giant's corpse lying under the setting sun of the battlefield, and it was like an old man who was lonely and making a final farewell.

Suddenly, the sound of everyone's footsteps came from under the setting sun. The lonely Los Fiona Delage left the stone tablet at the gate of the academy. She didn't leave, but returned to the courtyard, locking the gate of the academy from the inside. Under the setting sun, her shadow seemed to be imprisoned by the shadow of the fence gate, and that sense of loneliness was even more intense than the silence displayed by the academy at this moment.

Suddenly, everyone's footsteps appeared under the setting sun. Los Fiona Delage inside the fence gate looked at the outside of the fence gate. Iluna, who was very curious about this scene, Emilia who looked a bit scared, Fiona Delage who was swinging her tail, and Bister who was looking around, all appeared.

"Do you really want to imprison yourself in it forever?"

Iluna asked across the fence gate. The human witch with a lonely expression shook her head:

"Not imprisonment, I am with the academy."

"Since the academy is no longer there, you should shoulder the responsibility of walking out. The academy is gone, but you are still a teacher. You can still go and spread the knowledge that was once here, and go and tell everyone that you are a teacher who came out of this academy."

The Green Dragon maid said, but the human witch inside the fence gate still shook her head:

"Someone will do this. I can't bear to leave here, and the academy can't bear to leave me. Leaving it alone, this is too pitiful."

"But if this academy really has feelings for you, will it really be happy because you are left alone?"

The pointed-eared elf also said, but the witch inside the fence gate still shook her head, but didn't speak this time.

So Miss Bister finally said:

"You are really an unpious believer."

The wolf ears trembled slightly in the setting sun. She thought of many days when she ran on the hills under the setting sun:

"As a believer of the 【Lord of the Black Robe】, you should feel honored because of your profession and responsibility. But what you are showing now doesn't look like staying because of persistence in faith in God, but rather because you miss the past and don't want to move forward."

She gave the conclusion:

"You think you are showing your piety, but you don't know that this is the real profanity. On the road of pursuing the moon, I always know that the moon is in the distance, so I never stop. And on the road of pursuing knowledge, do you think that guarding an empty school is the end?"

She "scolded" angrily:

"You unrespectful believer, treat your own selfish desires as piety, treat your own obsession as greatness, and even treat the past as the future. You shouldn't call yourself a believer of the great 【Lord of the Black Robe】 at all. Every moment you stay here is profaning that great faith."

Everyone didn't expect her to be able to say such words, but the words spoken by the Gray Wolf witch were indeed very reasonable. The Miss Fiona Delage who had no expression just now had covered her face at this time and sobbed softly:

"I just don't want to leave, I should belong here..."

Behind her, Xia De and God also stood inside the fence gate. The huge shadow of the castle covered them. God looked at Xia De, but Xia De didn't think he was qualified to persuade Miss Fiona Delage. After all, he hadn't learned to let go himself.

But in the end, he still walked to the witch:

"Miracle - Revelation of the Spirit Spring."

As if a drop of water fell into the heart sea, all the mists covering herself dissipated. The memories of wandering here for several millennia, as well as all the memories of living in this academy, all surged into her heart.

Los Fiona Delage knew who she was, knew what she was doing, and also knew the choice she was about to face. The crying witch knelt there, looked up at the man with no expression, and asked:

"Should I really leave?"

Xia De signaled her to turn around:

"You shouldn't ask me this question."

The witch turned around to look at the direction of the academy castle, so she saw God walking out of the light. ===== CHAPTER 2878 =====
