"Miss Orbiya, Robin still needs you. Please don't do anything stupid!”Seeing this, Qing Lin naturally knew that Orbiya seemed to have some pessimistic thoughts.
But there was nothing he could do-his body was so weak that he could not even move a little wind, let alone do anything else.
However, Orbiya looked at him silently.
He saw the look in her eyes.
Although he was sad and miserable, he did not hesitate!
"Mr. Qing Lin, thank you for taking care of Robin during this period of time. Although compared to what you've done, my words may not have the slightest weight, I still have to thank you.”She bowed deeply and said.
"Although I'm very embarrassed, but... I'll have to trouble you to take good care of Robin in the future!”She looked at the boat in front of her, her eyes full of reluctance.
" Miss Orbiya…" Of course, Qing Lin had to persuade her.
Unexpectedly, the woman in front of him only smiled gently."There's no need to persuade me. Originally, I wasn't at ease leaving Robin alone, but now that I have you, Mister Qing Lin, I can go and…do what I should do with a peace of mind.”
"Mister Qing Lin, you can't stop me now, so please board the ship.”After she finished speaking, she looked at Qing Lin. The pleading in her eyes was quite clear.
"I don't understand…why? Qing Lin still couldn't understand why someone would give up the chance of survival that was right in front of them, abandon their loved ones, and seek death.
"…This is a burial." Upon hearing Qing Lin's words, Orbiya suddenly felt that the young man before her was like her lost self.
Perhaps his talent and ability were already strong enough, but in the end, he still lacked the beacon that truly led to the peak.
" The death of the 33 scholars on the ship and the many living beings in Ohara was almost all caused by me. So I can't just leave like this, not to mention…" Orbiya looked at the burning Tree of Omniscience. Although it was nearing its end, this great plant was still proving its existence in its own way.
The huge leaves turned into specks of starlight as the flames burned. In this nightfall, they looked beautiful and sacred.
A carefree smile appeared on her face as she looked at it.
"Mister Qing Lin, I…He's an archaeologist!" She turned her head and walked towards the giant tree that was already wrapped in flames.
"Mommy!" At this time, perhaps due to the instinct of his bloodline, little Robin suddenly woke up from his tired sleep. Looking at his mother's back, he shouted loudly and struggled to get off the boat, but he failed because of his physical weakness.
Olbiya paused for a moment, then she seemed to have hardened her heart and continued walking forward without stopping.
However, she wondered if her face was covered in tears.
Qing Lin looked at Orbiya's back. His heart was heavy, but at the same time, it was as if something had taken root there and was slowly sprouting.
He stopped little Robin, who was already very weak, and let her cry in his arms.
Looking at the flames and lights that suddenly lit up on the surrounding sea, Qing Lin knew that the final bombardment was coming.
Therefore, he had no choice but to set sail!
Navy Ship No. 1, command room.
"Sir, Lieutenant General Sakasugi's condition has stabilized, but he hasn't regained consciousness yet. We'll have to return to headquarters to determine his exact condition.”A marine soldier reported to the commander in front of him.
" Sigh…I didn't expect Lieutenant General Sakasugi to be so heavily injured. In addition to Lieutenant General Kuzan's right hand…We were already short of manpower, so I'll probably have to give up on the New World when we return.”The commander sighed and thought about how to report this to his superiors.
At this moment, another soldier suddenly walked into the command room."Sir, the final artillery bombardment is ready.”
When the commander heard this, he could only temporarily put down his worries and nodded."Then…I hereby announce that the 'Final Cannon' of this 'Demon Slayer Order' operation will be launched!”
Ohara, under the Omniscient Tree.
Olbiya looked at the familiar entrance of the library, which had now turned into a sea of fire.
She casually found a place and leaned against the hot wall, but she didn't care at all.
The thing that Qing Lin couldn't understand before was the biggest reason why this woman appeared here.
Ohara's collapse and disappearance represented the decline and loss of knowledge, the result of the game between power and knowledge.
As a scholar, she should be buried with him, just like what Olbiya had said.
It wasn't just for the living beings who perished in the flames of war, but…
Buried with knowledge!
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the ancient plant that symbolized knowledge and wisdom finally collapsed.
Looking at the collapsed Tree of Omniscience, tears streamed down her face.
She seemed to recall the first lesson that her teacher, Dr. Koroba, had given her.
" It laughs at the clowns in history. It is the most upright and the most benevolent. Knowledge itself is the highest pursuit of mankind.”At that time, Dr. Koroba was already in the shape of an electric fan.
"But teacher, it still has to be kept in some form. If the page is lost one day, won't the knowledge be destroyed?”That was what she asked when she was young.
Dr. Koroba was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly.
"If it is lost, then it will be discovered again. If it is destroyed, then it will be reborn again.”At that time, he was in the prime of his life.
"Knowledge is eternal!"
Back in the present, facing the crashing omniscient tree, the scholar named Nicole Orbiya could only open her arms.
"To immortality!"
"Boom!"
Amidst the loud explosions and gunfire, an unburned leaf slowly flew into the sky with clean sparks. It might stop somewhere and take root again.
"Mister Qing Lin, Robin…I'll leave him to you!”They had already escaped from Ohara. They were in this inconspicuous boat, floating in the green forest on the sea. They were hugging Robin, who had cried until he fell asleep. However, they seemed to hear these murmurs in their ears.
Thus, Qing Lin put Robin down and put a coat over her to ensure her warmth. Then, he slowly got up and bowed deeply to Ohara, who was slowly sinking, to this great island, and to some of the equally great souls buried on the island.
There were always some people who were willing to sacrifice their hearts for their own pursuits and beliefs!
