After leaving the door of the church, it was night before I knew it. Looking at his watch, Heliga found that the time was almost up, and his plan to go back secretly to pack his luggage was probably going to fail. With a wry smile, Heliga changed her plan altogether-she didn't actually have anything to bring.

Originally, I planned to cast a very dangerous teleportation spell-but Thomas's words just let him dispel this idea. If you can save magic, try to save as much as possible. This is Heliga's idea. This ride, because the captain of the car is his old friend, so he doesn't feel any guilt at all.

Approaching the third student dormitory, Heiliga stayed silently for half a minute while watching the bright lights in the rooms, and then left without looking back.

They are still seriously discussing tomorrow's entertainment and the day after tomorrow's performance, probably-if they go at this time, it will be too disappointing.

After that, Heliga walked to a level that had been artificially cleared in the forest near Torresta, which Thomas had previously provided him. A familiar figure has been there for a long time.

"Long time no see." Different from the mutual suspicions when I first met him-now Heliga can already embrace his friends with enthusiasm, "I didn't expect you to be in the Empire."

"Originally, there was no such plan, but the vice-chief’s contact came soon..." The visitor was the fifth of the "Star Cup Knights" that Heilijia hadn’t seen for a long time, Kevin Graham, since Libel never saw him again after saying goodbye. Seeing Heliga walking oncoming, Kevin also brightened his eyes, opened his arms, and said enthusiastically: "Although it might be a bit strange to use this to you... But I still have to sigh that it's nice to be young. You have changed in the past two years. It's quite obvious."

"As for you, it hasn't changed much." Heliga smiled. "Your spaceship is parked near here?"

"Yeah." Kevin made a concealed gesture. Suddenly, in the empty space where there was nothing, a uniquely shaped flying boat appeared—that was what Thomas mentioned and belonged to Kevin. "Merkava" Unit 5-a special airship modified by the church based on ancient relics, specially equipped for the holder of the stigmata, the exclusive battleship of the Starcup Knights. Although the combat performance is the same as an ordinary airship at first glance, it is very good in terms of flight performance. What's more, only the church owns the optical camouflage and stealth technology that was almost foul. Of course, combining the different powers of each guardian knight's stigmata, these airships can also resonate with them and carry out super-power and powerful attacks, but Heliga doesn't know it yet.

"Actually, there are still changes." Kevin changed his previous smile and said mysteriously: "My title is no longer "Foreign French Hunter". My new title is "Hands of a Thousand". "

"Oh?" Heliga was a little surprised at this-thinking about it carefully, Kevin did feel a little different from before. The previous Kevin only showed his great strength in the final battle with Wiseman, and probably because of the command of the chief, he was honest and reliable. But for other people, Kevin has always maintained a subtle distance. It seems that he is unwilling to get too involved with them, but now Kevin doesn’t feel that way anymore—even though Heilija is still not sure, but Now Kevin seems to be more cheerful than before. Soon, he remembered a detail from the time when Estiel and Joshua chatted with him, "Could it be related to the incident in "Shadow Kingdom"? "

"That's right... It seems Estelle and the others mentioned it to you." Kevin nodded, "Get on the boat first... The target is Crossbell, right?"

"Hmm. Just so, you can tell your story slowly."

————————————————————————————————

"It turns out that something like this happened..." "Merkava" No. 5 is now in full stealth mode, bypassing the route near the Garella fortress and heading to Closberg, and at this time Heliga is finally Listen to Kevin talk about the ins and outs of the whole incident. The "Shadow Country" incident is essentially the dark side of the "stigmata" hidden deep in Kevin's heart. It embodies Kevin's inner subconscious mind and uses the "ashlar", one of the cores of the wreckage of the "floating city". As a medium, something constructed by using the remaining power of the treasure as an introduction.

In the event of the Kingdom of Shadows, Kevin, who was cold and cold, finally got rid of the hypocritical smiling face. For the first time, he truly understood what trust is and what is companion-in front of such Kevin, Stigma The dark side also appears fragile. In the end, everyone who had established a bond in Libel completed a real team battle and returned to the real world. In the Kingdom of Shadows, Esther and Joshua learned about Ling's location, and the rest of them also learned about the current status of these companions who once fought together in their busy lives.

However, the only drawback is that Heliga and Fei, the two companions who dealt with a lot in Libel's many incidents, did not respond to the call of "Shadow Kingdom", but instead joined their opponents. Of course, most of these opponents are also acquaintances, such as the companions of the Liber Kingdom Army, such as the executors of "Association"-but the existence of Heliga and Fei feels strange. Everyone has their own consciousness and memory, and it feels like they themselves are projected in this kingdom of shadows, but Heliga and Fei are like two walking corpses, without words and expressions, just mechanically and mechanically. The killing on his own side surprised Kevin and the others.

What was even more surprising was still to come-when Heliga's soft attack that somehow did not match everyone's impression was resolved again, he suddenly fell into a certain pause. Everyone was extremely nervous. They all thought it would be a precursor to Heliga's awakening. The powerful force they had relied on in various events would now appear on their opposite sides as enemies. However, Heliga was only easily defeated in that way—he never appeared in the "Shadow Country" after that. Not to mention Heliga's weak strength, Jane has reached an incredible level, and Fei on the side is not much different from her in reality.

What had been gradually forgotten because of the busyness after the Shadow Kingdom incident, after seeing Heliga, he woke up from the depths of his memory. Heilija, who was thinking deeply while listening to Kevin’s account, remembered what Estiel and Joshua had said when Closbell mentioned this matter before, "Maybe it was his own power that protected him," but he was vaguely I feel that things are not that simple.

During the time when the two were chatting, the bustling city that never sleeps, the silhouette of Clos Bell finally appeared in front of them.
