[Attack on Titan] Amnesia Syndrome

After that day, Almin and Pat walked for more than half a month. The road ahead was long and endless, and it seemed that it would never end.

That diary has been reread by Armin many times, but there is only so much useful information. If you want to really solve all the mysteries, I'm afraid you can only turn to Leer.

I don't know what happened to everyone inside the wall. Leer took the captain and the sub-leader away for so long, maybe there might have been a conflict long ago.

He was worried and uneasy all the way, not knowing what would happen in the future... Ever since the Xigansina District was destroyed, he was in this state all the time, and he should have gotten used to this feeling of bewilderment, but now...

Pat beside him suddenly blew a whistle, the sound was loud and distant, Armin was interrupted, subconsciously looked towards him, and found a big gray eagle circling above, after hearing the whistle, a dive Then, powerful claws firmly grasped his raised arms.

There was a small bamboo tube tied between the big eagle's claws, Pat reached out to take it off, and let the big eagle fly, only to hear a scream, the eagle's wings stretched, and it flew straight into the sky.

Armin's eyes followed the gray eagle uncontrollably.

Pat took out the letter from the small bamboo tube, and he read the small line of words very carefully, until he confirmed what he saw, and then secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

The big man, who had always been expressionless, finally showed some emotion at this moment.

The finger quickly touched the sharp surface of the ring between the fingers, and the slight tingling pain was accompanied by the burning heat. The thick steam spread rapidly, and the black shadow in it became bigger and bigger, and finally broke through the steam, revealing the hairy head.

It took a step forward, and the ground immediately shook very violently. Almin couldn't stand still, and before he could make any reaction, its thick arm like a giant tree stretched out, grabbed him, and put him on his own. overhead.

"Hold on, I'll send you to the master now." Its voice was muffled, and the original thick and rough hair like steel had softened, and it was no longer as sharp as before that seemed to be able to pierce people.

Pat landed on all fours, kicked forward with his hind legs, and his body was shot out like a swift arrow. The strong wind hit his face, and Almin couldn't open his eyes. , buried his head in the thick hair.

I don't know how long it took, but Armin, who was being bumped and about to fall apart, felt that Pat's movements were starting to slow down. When he raised his head, Pat just stopped suddenly, and the sudden inertia shook him out. Pat reached out and grabbed him in the palm of his hand.

"You can count."

A soft and familiar voice came over, and Armin's mood was ups and downs, and he couldn't calm down for a while.

Pat put him on the ground, and there was another burst of thick steam, and he resumed his human posture, "Master."

Leer was standing on top of the rubble, with the devastated Maria Wall behind him, "It's been a hard journey, Almin."

He approached slowly, stretched out his hand to Almin who was still sitting on the ground, and said with a slight smile, "Go and fill your stomach first."

……

Leer took Almin into a relatively clean private house with his familiarity.

There was steaming hot soup on the table, as well as fresh fruits, vegetables and meat, and he didn't know where he got them.

Pat knew they had something to say, so he consciously guarded the door and didn't go in. Armin held back all the way, and couldn't help it now, "You..."

"Eat first." Leer brought the rice in front of her, and said with a smile, "I'll tell you everything after eating."

"..." As soon as these words came out, no matter how reluctant Armin was, he had no choice but to accept them.

After finishing the meal at the fastest speed in his life, he swallowed the last bite and said vaguely, "I'm done."

Le Er sighed with a smile, "I really shouldn't have compromised so quickly, it's not good for your health to eat like this."

Armin turned a deaf ear and only said, "Can I ask now?"

Leer smiled and shook his head, "The progress of question and answer is too slow, let me tell you a story."

Armin frowned slightly, thinking that he was trying to do some tricks again.

"The story happened nearly a thousand years ago. That era was ruled by the royal family just like the present. But compared to the present, the former royal family was obviously more popular." Le Er didn't care if he listened or not, and just said He began to talk, "At that time, the land under your feet all belonged to one person."

……

Thousands of years ago, this land was ruled by the Earl of Lance.

The earl's reputation is very high in the local area, and he is also quite popular. He took in the homeless orphans for them to receive systematic training, and he will become a guard in the future to protect the people.Among these orphans, the Earl of Lance also adopted a child named Leer.

The earl already had an only son, and he brought Leer to the castle to be a companion for his child. After understanding the earl's wishes, Leer let his son Barlow do what he wanted and never objected.

This relationship lasted until the two entered the school, where they made many friends, among which Naiga, the son of Duke Arnold, was the best. The three often sneaked out of school and went to the forest to have fun.

At that time, there was a saying among the people that the forest was cursed, and no one could enter it, because it would awaken the sleeping demons.

But at the age of youth and frivolity, how could they pay attention to those non-existent legends, not to mention that every time they entered the forest, nothing strange happened, but instead, they hunted many wild animals and had a good meal several times.

But the good times didn't last long. After Naijia's sister, the pretty doll-like Casey, found out about this, the three of them stopped setting foot in the forest.

Casey is the younger sister they all love, and since the younger sister is worried, they can only compromise.

What's more, I have been there for several years, and I have played all the places that should be played, and I have long been tired of it.

But later, the number of people in the town gradually decreased, and the legend of the devil in the forest began to prevail again. In order to appease the people, the Earl of Lance moved his territory to the south, away from the forest.

But the nightmare still came.

Huge savages suddenly appear, destroying cities and eating people.

The people fled in panic, and the army counterattacked, but returned in defeat.

There are more and more giants, and the place where people can live is getting smaller and smaller. Just when the whole country was panicking, suddenly, three high walls appeared out of thin air.

Centered on all human beings, the three walls shrinking inward one by one are not only unattainable, but also extremely hard, even if they are as powerful as a giant, they cannot be destroyed.

But such three walls, how could it be possible for human beings?

……

Speaking of this, Le Er suddenly smiled, "Armin, do you want to know how the wall between Maria, Rose, and Hina was built?"

The so-called gods descended into the world, the so-called being favored by the heavens...

Hehe, if this is the case, why doesn't God let the species of giants disappear? !

"Armin, can you imagine?" Although he asked the question, he did not intend to ask for an answer from Almin, "Tens of thousands of troops and civilians, including noble children, including members of the royal family... The human race can continue, and they are willing to use themselves as a barrier to block the progress of demons for them."

The three walls covering such a wide area are actually solid city walls built by their kind with flesh and blood, blocking all crises.

And the remaining population, barely less than 1000 people, will live in the wall like captive domestic animals and multiply. After a hundred years or a few hundred years, the population will prosper again, and it may be possible to find a way to eliminate the giants. method.

However, what did these human beings who survived so hard do?

They use the life exchanged by their companions to immerse themselves in sensuality, which has been passed down from generation to generation, but each generation is more arrogant and contented with pleasure.

That being the case, why was the sacrifice at the beginning necessary?

"That's why you want to destroy the wall?" Armin's frown deepened.

Le Er snorted softly, "The group of useless people whose mud can't support the wall are not worth my trouble."

He just wanted to find Barlow.

There are so many giants in the wall, no one knows exactly where Barlow is, so the wall cannot be destroyed even if the wall is torn down.

"then you……"

"However, I also keep my word." Leer changed the subject, "As long as the wall is demolished, I will tell you how to control the giant. This agreement will last forever."

"..." Has it succeeded?

Le Er rarely showed any expression other than a smile on his face. He hid his thoughts deeply, and even when he was on the verge of death several times, he never showed the slightest disgrace.

It seems that the aristocratic habit has penetrated into his bone marrow and will never change again.

"I still have problems."

"I want to ask your companions how?" Leer didn't need him to ask, he knew what he wanted to ask, "They have already obtained the method to control the giants, from now on, you will no longer need to be afraid of giants. … Along the way, didn’t a giant not see it. Oh, and Captain Levi, who has developed an antidote for him, and he will be fine after a few days of sleep. Ah, what a pity, he is quite suitable for a guard Who are the candidates?"

"..." It's good that everyone is fine.

As for the method of controlling the giant, will it really work?

All of these are just his one-sided words. Who knows the truth of the matter.

...It seems that you must see Captain Erwin immediately to understand the real information.

"The last question, what is your relationship with Leer in the diary...?"

"that's me."

Armin obviously didn't believe it.Since the diary was from thousands of years ago, wouldn't he be more than 1000 years old if he was the Leer in the diary?

"Since you don't want to talk about it, forget it." He opened his mouth slightly and couldn't help yawning, "Anyway, this question is not very important."

Leer's eyes flickered slightly, "Sleepy?"

"..." It may be that the body is exhausted from traveling all the way, or it may be that the long-term fear can finally subside. In short, after Armin yawned, the drowsiness suddenly became stronger, "It's okay, Captain Erwin Where are they, I want to see them right away."

"Even if we want to meet, there is no rush at this moment." Le Er's voice gradually softened, "The wall of Hina is not a one-and-a-half-hour journey, so you should have a good night's rest and refresh yourself. I will take you there tomorrow. meet them."

"..."

wrong.

No matter how tired the body is, it will not be in this state.

Armin was sensitive to the strangeness, and his first suspicion was that Le Er drugged him again!

"You're really vigilant." Leer stared at him quietly, with the same smile on his face for thousands of years, "Could it be that the medicine in the castle made your body develop antibodies? You didn't react until now."

"you……"

No, he couldn't sleep through it.

Armin tried his best to keep his eyes open, but gradually, the eyelids still shrugged, and then covered the slack blue pupils.

Le Er always maintained the posture of Almin when he was awake, he watched him quietly, sitting motionless, like a sculpture.

I don't know how long it took before he reached out and covered Armin's soft hair.

Good boy.

Take a good rest.

When you wake up, everything will be over.

He stood up. "Pat."

"Owner?"

"Take good care of him."

"Have you gone to see Master Barlow?"

"Ah. I've waited too long for this day."
