Chapter 704 Falling at Dawn 15
The video continues.
After hearing this, Ah Xing still had some disbelief: "So she was really assassinated..."
Bai E: "No, that's not right... The guys who appeared in the tree garden, those who confronted Chongyuan and Danheng, did not immediately resort to violence, but only monitored and intimidated. They had no reason and no courage to use force against Aglaiya. Could it be..."
Dan Heng: "It's meaningless to speculate. Let's go find Ms. Tibao. She knows Aglaya's mind best."
Craterus: "I will stay here and lead the guards to maintain law and order. You can go and find out the truth of these things - but don't take too long. Aglaya is gone, and someone must take her place to lead Ohma."
"By the way, Miss Feng Jin...she was the doctor who announced Aglaya's death. Maybe you should talk to her as well."
Bai'er: "Thank you, Master Craterus."
Then the three of them entered the bathhouse, but it was empty, completely different from the lively scenes in the past.
Bai'e: "The bathhouse is empty..."
Dan Heng: "After hearing such sad news, no citizen is in the mood to take a bath."
Then the three of them found Feng Jin
Bai'e: "Feng Jin."
Feng Jin: “…You’re back!”
Dan Heng: "We heard from Craterus, are you... okay?"
Feng Jin: "I'm fine. I've been staying with Tibao and Teacher Tining since the incident. It's great that you guys can come back so quickly... They really need someone to accompany them right now."
Ah Xing: "You saw it, Aglaya's..."
Feng Jin: "Well... we witnessed her last moments, and I immediately tried to treat her, but even Sky Blessing... announced her death, which was the hardest thing I have ever done as a doctor."
Bai E: “…”
Feng Jin: "Sir Bai'e... don't force yourself. Your shoulders are even heavier now, don't fall down..."
Bai E: "It's okay, I can still bear it. What I lost was a mentor and a comrade. But what Tibao and Teacher Tining lost was a thousand-year bond... like a part of their life."
"Go and have a rest, Feng Jin. You probably haven't closed your eyes for a long time, right? Leave the rest to us."
Feng Jin: "Yeah, okay. See you later, everyone."
After Feng Jin left, Bai E said, "Next...it's time to go find Teacher Ti Bao."
Since they had come all the way here, Tibao and Tining also saw the three people walking over.
Tibao: "Xiaobai, Xiaohui...you are back."
Bai E: "Teacher Tibao, I..."
Tibao: "Xiaobai, no! Please don't apologize to us. You went to the tree garden to make yourself strong, strong enough to deal with the enemies who threaten Ochma. You didn't do anything wrong, so don't be too hard on yourself."
"We have been with Aya throughout this long journey, and we know what she is thinking better than anyone else. She knows that she will not see the end of her journey, but she still burns herself without reservation... for everyone's tomorrow."
Bai'e: "I know what Aglaya expects of me. Right now, what Ochma needs least is a self-pitying guide."
Tibao and Tining looked at each other, and Tibao said to the other side: "The scroll over there is a message entrusted to us by Aya. She asked us to pass it to you at a special time."
Tinian: "I think now is the 'special time'."
Honkai Impact 3rd Otto: "I can see it! Aglaya's departure made the Golden Race very sad."
Walter Yang of Star Dome Railway: "What the hell are you doing here? Aglaya is Aglaya, and you Otto are a dog. Everyone is happy when you leave!"
Honkai Impact 3 Otto: "Oh my old friend, there is no need to target me like this."
Cosmic Wanderer Gao Xuan: "Alas, in this situation, Bai'er must grow up quickly, otherwise the Golden Race will be at a disadvantage."
Star Dome Railway Bai'e: "Don't worry, I will never sit still and wait for death, because I am the blazing sun that will eventually rise!"
The video continues.
Ah Xing opened the afterimage of memory and saw a memory of the past years.
Tibao asked Aglaiya: "Aya... do you really... not need to take medicine anymore?"
Aglaya: "No need, my master. Medicine can only stabilize my flesh and blood, but it cannot prevent the exhaustion of my soul. I have borrowed too much time from this world - now, the deadline has come. Now... is the best time for me to leave."
After hearing this, Tibao couldn't stop her tears from flowing and cried quietly.
Aglaya: "Please don't cry, my master... I have one last willful request. Can you listen to me?"
Tibao: "Aya, just tell me... woohoo... we will definitely... help you achieve it."
Aglaya: "I hope that my death will be peaceful and gentle. I hope that my lifeless body... will not be exposed to the public. My teacher, I have experienced too many changes in my life, but I have a pursuit of one thing, and I have remained the same for thousands of years..."
Tibao: "Beautiful, right?"
Aglaya: "Yes, my teacher... "beautiful"."
Tibao: "Aya, do you think Xiaobai is... ready?"
Aglaya: "Thousands of years ago, when I took over the flame of Meneta... did you think I was ready at that time, my master?"
Tibao: “…”
Aglaya: "Born in this era, we have to grow up in the waves instead of setting sail after we are fully prepared. Bai'e, he will understand. He will understand the responsibilities I leave to him... He is mature enough and will no longer be blinded by anger and hatred."
After reading this memory, the two came to the desk where Aglaya left letters for them. Bai'e opened the letters and saw the letter Aglaya left for him.
Aglaia: "Bai'e, my humble student and trusted colleague - as I write these words, you are arguing with the debaters in the Senate, fighting for the survival of the Journey of Fire on the invisible battlefield."
"I feel deeply disgusted and guilty for my decision to hastily push you and Ah Xing onto the debate stage. But please forgive me. At that time, I absolutely could not show cowardice in front of you - because that would definitely undermine your morale."
"I had considered this debate a routine matter, thinking I could win simply by relying on the public opinion and experience accumulated over the past hundred years. But I underestimated the cunning of Katniss and her followers, and also underestimated the deterioration of my own empathy."
"The trap was probably set by the debater Calectis. He prepared the cut golden thread in advance and suddenly showed it to everyone when Katniss was at a disadvantage in the debate."
