"There are no more evil dragons, Dad..."

At this moment, a wave of sorrow washed over everyone, and they could not suppress it no matter what.

Setting a fire while limping and shouting victory while wielding a toy sword—that's a childish story.

But there was one man who turned the story into reality, and the naive story into an epic tale.

Dixia's story is just a very simple story, and Kusela is not even a perfect good person, but it is this kind of story that makes everyone's emotions unable to be contained.

This is the heaviest emotion; it is simple and unpretentious, yet it bulldozes through everyone's psychological defenses like a bulldozer.

The previous story of Seno was about a father and son, while this story of Dixia is about a father and daughter.

Their identities are completely opposite: one is a discipline officer, and the other is a mercenary.

But they share the same identity: a great father.

His daughter's toy sword and his son's lab notebook were both so precious in his eyes.

Now readers understand why Lin Qiu released these two stories together; it's practically a form of resonance-based harm.

Regardless of which book you read first or which book you read later, it's a mutual "sharpening" process.

Readers, wipe your tears; you simply can't bear this kind of heart-wrenching scene of family ties.

Readers say they can't stand stories that involve emotional wounds related to family, lifespan, friendship, fairy tales, passionate relationships, bad endings, or happy endings.

What surprised them even more was that the story had a sequel. They had already reached an emotional climax, but unexpectedly, there was another explosive final blow.

After resolving the issue of "The Legacy of the God-King", the group returned to the rainforest. "The Legacy of the God-King" was arrested by the "Thirty-Man Group", while the members of "The Mustache of Ahmar" chose to surrender.

The ending of "The Legacy of the God-King" was somewhat expected, but what surprised everyone was the surrender of "The Mustache of Ahmar".

Everything Kusela did was to ensure that her daughter would never be exposed to this darkness, while also rescuing the 'trapped' mercenaries.

The people of "Akhmar's Mustache" were freed, but they chose atonement instead of freedom.

Perhaps they had wanted to do this for a long time, but under the pressure of the "Legacy of the God-King," they lost the courage to escape and surrender.

Kousela's sacrifice not only saved them, but also gave them courage.

As they themselves said, 'Isn't that how it is in the story? The protagonist's spirit inspired those being saved, and more and more people stepped forward.'

This act of standing up is not only about resistance, but also about taking responsibility.

These mercenaries were probably thinking, 'I need to stand up straight; I can't let the leader down,' when they surrendered.

Another rescued character in the story, Desia, is sitting in the tavern, feeling down.

It was inevitable that she was depressed. Dixia had always believed that her current life path had nothing to do with her father, but was something she had created herself.

But the truth is that her father has protected her well throughout her life, from birth to now.

What saddened Dixia even more was that her father, who had protected her, was gone, and she didn't even have the chance to see him one last time.

The book describes how Paimon noticed Desia's sadness and proactively ordered a lot of delicious food for her.

It's worth noting that Paimon is usually very reluctant to spend money on food for others, so the fact that she's buying delicious food for Desia shows how much she likes her.

[Dishia said gratefully, "Thank you all. To be honest, this isn't like me at all. I had very mixed feelings the whole way here and didn't know what to say."]

"My chest was filled with a multitude of intense emotions, more intense than any of my previous adventures."

"But when things came to an end, they all disappeared, and I felt emptier than ever before."

Yae no Miko understood these feelings; she had felt the same way when she read her own story.

My heart was filled with all sorts of emotions, but I didn't know what to say. After it was all over, I felt empty.

The reason for this is the loss, because it's really time to say goodbye to someone important.

The words I didn't have time to say when we parted last time, I still couldn't say this time, because... I sincerely hope we can meet again.

Right now, Dixia really wants to tell her father, "I'm very happy now, really."

So... your efforts weren't in vain, Dad.

"What a great man, he reminds me of my own father, haha... I didn't cry."

Chapter 621 A Letter

Although Dixia keeps saying in the story that she doesn't like or understand her father, she actually cares about him a lot.

When she left, she intended to forge her own path and become a 'hero' like those in the stories.

But I never imagined that in the end, even the path I was walking on was paved by my father. He really kept so many things from me...

[Dishia sighed: "She kept saying she would never forgive, never try to understand, yet she still insisted on investigating the truth, and almost shed tears..."]

In the story, she almost fell; in reality, she was already crying.

The difference lies simply in whether or not the outsider, the "valve," can block it.

All I can say is, raise the sand barrier higher, but why is sand still getting into my eyes?

Just then, Dinazede, who was not an outsider, arrived. Paimon, as the mouth of God, told Dinazede everything that had just happened in great detail.

Then... Dina Zede burst into tears and cried loudly for a long time before she came to her senses.

In real life, Dina Zede was a little embarrassed because the illustration showed her crying with her mouth wide open and her face flushed red, which was quite convincing!

But is this what a prophet is like? I actually cried like this when I was reading this story...

Some people are reading the story, while others are looking in the mirror.

When she was crying just now, Dixia even tried to comfort her, and Dina Zede's answer at that time also appeared in the book.

[Dina Zede: "You must be feeling much worse than me, I shouldn't be the one comforting me."]

At this moment, Dina Zede fully understood the terror of the prophecy book; even without those events happening, the prophecy could still be fulfilled.

Dixia also expressed that her feelings about the story resonated with her current thoughts.

"My father probably thinks that as long as people change their environment, they can accept a new life with a clear conscience," said Dixia.

"There were a few moments when I also thought, 'Accepting a new life doesn't seem so bad, does it?'"

Currently, Dixia is in a state of mind where she thinks, "It doesn't seem like a big deal to accept a new life, right?"

The feeling that everything had been predicted made Dixia's heart pound.

Luckily, I'm not an enemy of the prophet, otherwise I'd be afraid of being watched even while I sleep.

These thoughts were just fleeting ideas for Dixia; if it weren't for this experience, Dixia wouldn't even remember ever having such thoughts.

The reason for this is that her subconscious is rebelling. Whenever she has the thought of settling down, her subconscious tells her what kind of life she wants.

The fact that a prophet could predict even ideas that he himself resisted was why Desia felt uneasy; he understood others too well.

The Fools in reality could understand Desia's thoughts.

It was precisely because they also experienced this feeling of palpitations that the Fools chose to be friends with Lin Qiu rather than enemies.

What I just said were ideas that Dixia had before; now her ideas are:

"Just like my father's brother Idrissi said, I now want to follow in my father's footsteps and become a part of the story."

"The ending was so childish and ridiculous, but it doesn't really matter..."

She used to say these stories were childish and showed some resistance to them.

Now she understands: fairy tales are indeed naive, which is why those who can bring them to life are truly great.

Dina Zede thought so too, so she strongly supported Dixia.

[Dina Zede: "Pretty handsome, isn't he? A mercenary who isn't a Mora."]

Dina Zede's praise cheered Dixia up considerably, and then she remembered that Dina Zede wanted to buy a rug for the house.

Since it would be a good time to relax, Dixia suggested that everyone go shopping together.

Upon arriving at the Grand Bazaar, the real killer was just beginning to strike.

[Satael, panting: "Finally... we found you. You're here."]

This man named Satar is the one who was captured by Dixia earlier and then stubbornly bit off his tongue and committed suicide.

Fortunately, he didn't bite off his tongue, he only bled, otherwise he wouldn't be able to speak now.

He himself had received kindness from Kousela, so after being captured, he would rather die than betray Kousela.

Now that his revenge is over, he has repaid his debt of gratitude. He plans to turn himself in next. This man deserves a thumbs up.

However, before turning himself in, he came to deliver something to Dixia: a box containing Kusela's belongings.

Dixia opened the tattered wooden box, inside were some handwritten copies, all of them storybooks.

It is illegal to possess books in Sumeru, so the prophetic books were not circulated in Sumeru before, and only a very few people were able to read them.

Kucera's copy of fairy tales was illegal, which shows that he really liked these fairy tales.

In addition, there are some candies, razors, buttons, wooden figures, as well as women's plush scarves and hairpins.

These random things come in all shapes and sizes, leaving everyone completely baffled. How can Kusela collect everything?

What's even more outrageous is that there were two empty wine bottles inside; it's as if they were using this wooden crate as a trash can.

Paimon notices a blind spot: "Hmm, there seems to be something in this bottle?"

There was a letter inside the bottle, which Kusela suddenly wanted to write after drinking. The recipient was naturally Dixia, the person he couldn't let go of.

"My health has been deteriorating lately. Forget about going out, I can't even walk without a cane. I guess I don't have many days left."

Judging from the beginning of this letter, it should have been written after Dixia left.

"If you can see this letter, I should already be gone."

"You were so cute when you were little. Everyone loved you. Whether you cried or laughed, everyone was happy."

The illustration depicts a scene from the past, where Dixia is still very young, lying in swaddling clothes, surrounded by mercenaries whose eyes are full of love and curiosity.

That's right, it's curiosity. These grown men are very curious when they see a little kid like this.

I'm curious about what she's thinking, what she's looking at, and whether my own child will be just as adorable and healthy.

However, they were all guilty and had never thought about having descendants, so everyone placed all their affection for future generations on Dixia.

In the next illustration, a mercenary is making a funny face, trying to make Dixia laugh.

But this only made little Dixia cry. The group of men panicked. Even in life-or-death battles, they had never been this panicked.

The mercenary who made the face was taught a lesson, and seeing everyone laughing and joking, Little Dixia smiled again. The heartwarming scene seemed to have a built-in pink filter.

"The story about my father... I can't quite bear it either..."

Chapter 622 An Incompetent Good Man, A Qualified Father

Below the illustration is a line of text from Kousera's letter.

"But once they're a little more sensible, they're not so cute anymore. It's definitely all Idrissi's fault; they never teach them properly..."

As Dixia grew older, she no longer needed to be held and began to resist being held like a child.

Even the candies they used to love and the wooden figurines they used to play with were no longer needed; they were all put into a wooden box.

This disappointed Kusera. "Dishia won't let me hug her, it must be because of Idris and the others!"

[Dishia smiled gently: "What are you talking about? Who is the real culprit?"]

In reality, Desia was somewhat overwhelmed upon reading this, and now she truly understood what it felt like for those whose stories were written in the prophecy.

This is a special attack! A special attack that even Kurumi and Xiao can't withstand!
