Outside the manor gate.
Aslan and Lux bid farewell to Noel together.
"Lux—"
As Noel's back disappeared, Aslan recalled the conversation just now and couldn't help but look at Lux beside him, with some hesitation in his words.
"What's wrong?"
Lux withdrew her gaze and looked back.
"What you just said - are you serious?"
Looking at Lux's face, Aslan couldn't help but repeat Noel's question.
In fact, Aslan is not someone who likes to ask about such topics, but what Lux just said was too weird and unbelievable.
"maybe--"
Lux's eyes were a little wandering when she spoke.
"perhaps?"
Aslan looked stunned. Can this kind of thing be defined by maybe?
Lux didn't answer when she heard this, she just shook her head and smiled at Aslan, then turned and walked into the manor.
She knew that Aslan wanted to ask another question more - Kira.
But thinking back on everything that happened yesterday——
Some things cannot be explained in words.
As for the fact that she just used herself to make a bet, of course it cannot be said that it is completely true.
She is not a naive and ignorant girl, she knows her own value very well, and she is not so expensive yet.
At the same time, it's not that cheap.
The conversation just now was more for testing, testing Noel's attitude towards the war, and also to determine how much inside information Noel knew.
Combat Auxiliary System, Inside Story of the South American War, Irene Kanaba, Kennaff, Atlantic Federation, Blue Cosmos——
Lacus did not know all the inside story of this South American war, but through the intelligence provided by Irene Kanaba, Lacus keenly discovered that there were many things that felt inconsistent.
In this seemingly independent war, the interests of too many people and forces are involved.
Because of Cruze, Lux has more bold ideas about human nature.
She was very afraid that the South American War was just a trigger that would draw the world into war again.
Therefore, in order to nip problems in the bud and to better solve problems in the future, she needs more companions and more like-minded comrades.
So no matter what Noel chooses, she will steer the topic in the direction she wants until she gets the answer she wants.
Obviously, the answer Noel gave is not a good one, but it is not a bad one either.
As for why we used that ridiculous topic to conduct a summary test in the end.
In addition to a small amount of self-consideration, it was more because it was just right.
——What Noel pursues in the war is to 'live', not to survive.
A difference of one word makes a world of difference.
Human beings are very strange animals. What they pursue is often what they lack most at this stage.
Human beings want to gain something only when they lack something.
Noel's tone just now didn't sound like he was lying, so based on this concept, Lux had two bold guesses for the time being.
1: Guess based on human body physics.
Something unknown happened to Noel, causing him to fight with the ultimate goal of 'surviving'.
And to this day, he still has not gotten rid of that nightmare, and is still running for life, even living is a luxury.
Two: Based on the situation and birth of Noel, guess from the ideological level.
The "alive" in Noel's words can be extended to mean that he is looking for the meaning of living.
He was born in Junius, and after Bloody Valentine's Day, he had no relatives, no emotional care, no spiritual sustenance.
So he has been looking for spiritual comfort to survive in this war-filled world.
It was precisely based on the above two speculations that Lux raised the topic that seemed absurd but fit perfectly.
It may sound a bit conceited.
But whether it is the first or the second, I should be the best candidate for Noel. Valley stamp
"Lux—"
Aslan looked at Lux's leaving figure, and suddenly felt a strange yet familiar feeling in his heart.
Maybe I never really understood her——
————
On the other side, Noel walked slowly along the road towards the underground base after leaving the manor.
Although there was a guest room for them in the manor, Noel really didn't want to live in it during this embarrassing period.
It would be better to go back and sleep with the covenant.
"Flea?"
On the way, Noel met a surprising girl.
Standing on the coast, looking into the distance, Fleur heard Noel's voice and turned around to look over.
Under the moonlight, Noel noticed that Fleur's expression was a little strange, and couldn't help but said: "It seems that things are not going very smoothly on your side."
Frey came to Akatsuki Island with only one purpose - to drag Kira into the water.
But now it seems that this matter is not going smoothly.
Fleur did not answer when she heard this, but continued to stare at the ocean in the distance with a complicated expression.
Seeing that Fleur was unwilling to speak and had no intention of asking for trouble, Noel nodded to Fleur and then turned around and continued walking along the road.
In general, Frey has only one function for Noel - to determine the neutral status of the Heavenly Domain Pillar, nothing more.
By the way, you can also try to see if you can get other more benefits, but as long as you can ensure the first factor, it is not a loss.
And now Noel has gotten what he wants from Fleur.
Of course, this does not mean that Noel will not care about her. After all, only the higher Fleur's status is, the more stable the neutral position of the Heavenly Domain Pillar will be.
He does not think that he has the ability to get the major forces of the Earth Alliance to issue a document recognizing the neutral status of the Heavenly Domain Pillar.
Don’t you see, even Orb couldn’t do it?
"Noel——"
However, just when Noel turned around to leave, Fleur suddenly stopped him.
Noel stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and looked over without saying a word.
"Can I really do that?"
Fleur seemed to be asking Noel, but more like she was asking herself: "I can't see myself more and more clearly now."
"I do not quite understand what you mean."
Noel's eyes flickered, his expression slightly confused.
During this meeting, he always felt that something was wrong with Fleur's situation, and now it seemed that something was really wrong.
"Peace representative of the United Earth——"
With her eyes wandering, Fleur murmured and asked: "Can I really represent the peace of the United Earth? Can what I am doing now be called correct?"
The deeper she gets into the war, the more intense Fleur's self-doubt becomes.
She has experienced the battlefield, so she is well aware of the cruelty of war and the hard-won peace.
Using the excuse of satisfying one's own vanity to bear the weight of the words "representative of peace on earth" is not enough.
I have to say that although Fleur's character is very unpleasant, unruly, willful, paranoid, and conceited——
But her nature is not bad, at least she has the conscience that humans should have.
So with the interpretation of the role of the representative of peace on earth, under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes full of desire for peace.
The weak ideas that supported her on the road to peace gradually became fragile, and she even began to doubt whether her decision was correct.
"Since you have doubts, just follow the path you think is right."
After Noel finished speaking, he felt an indescribable sense of absurdity in his heart.
I, a person who has only a few years to live, actually came to be a life coach——
"Aren't you afraid?" Fleur asked.
"Afraid? What are you afraid of?"
Noel was stunned, am I scared? I'm dying——
Besides fear of death, what else am I afraid of?
