Lausanne II’s words seemed to spread ink in the air, making everything around him blurry:

"In the face of that kind of devastating failure, any thoughts of revenge, unwillingness, resentment and regret all cease to exist, or at least become insignificant."

Thales frowned upon hearing this, thoughtfully.

"It is precisely because you have never experienced such a failure, Your Highness," the vampire killer said quietly, "so even now you still don't understand, you are still like those common people, you still think why I came back... ha, revenge?

"

Thales could sense the deep despair and pain in the other person's words, but he didn't want to go around in circles anymore:

"Then why did you come back? To stop failing?"

Lausanne II smiled sadly.

"If a sword has never been broken, shattered, or damaged," he said coldly, "then it will never be able to see its own material in its fragments and fractures."

The killer glanced at Thales coldly:

"Your Highness, just like the protagonists of those chivalry novels that succeed to the end, you have never truly lost, so naturally you cannot understand that a broken sword that is completely broken and has lost its edge will struggle out of its sheath after being recast.

meaning.”

Thales frowned, but was still confused.

"What is the purpose of wielding a sword that has been reforged?"

Lausanne II sneered:

"Just for revenge - to break the sword that broke me?"

He gritted his teeth and stared, as if crazy:

"Then what? To be crushed again one day, to be recast again, and to be recast again?"

Thales was silent for a long time.

He's going crazy.

The voice in the prince's heart quietly told him:

No matter in the past or now, this hateful, pitiful and pathetic killer has been worn down by life and power.

And the reunion with Belicia was the last straw, breaking down his last line of defense.

What you can ask out of his mouth...maybe not what you think.

"If it's not for revenge," thinking of this, Thales' question became cautious, "then when you come back with a sword, you are willing to be a pawn, killing people and disrupting the situation. What is it for? Profit? Ambition? Justice? Or just for the sake of it?

Tone?"

It can't be just to be like Rumba...to end the cycle and innovate and become old, right?

Seeing that he still didn't understand, Lausanne II didn't answer, but just laughed again.

"Hahahahahaha..."

The laughter is desolate, sad and chilling.

Seeing the other party's indifferent expression, even a patient person like Thales couldn't help but feel discouraged.

"Maybe you are right, Shirley," the prince's face darkened, "Maybe I should try your method."

Find the soul bone Jacques...

"Find the craftsman." Hilley suddenly said.

Thales was startled and turned around:

"What?"

Lausanne II's expression also changed slightly.

In the sight of the two of them, Xi Lai was in a daze, muttering what the killer had just said:

"If a sword is broken, you can get a glimpse of its own material..."

Seeing the state of his companion, Thales couldn't help but become worried.

"If the reforged sword is not for revenge, or for finding the enemy sword to crush the opponent, distinguish the superiority, and regain the edge..."

Fortunately, Xi Lai just took a deep breath, came back to his senses, and looked back at the two of them:

"Then this sword must be used to find its source."

source?

Thales looked confused, but Lausanne II looked surprised.

"For example, the craftsman who made the sword at the beginning," Hilley said solemnly, "ask him about the material of the sword, why he made the sword like this, and why...he made the sword."

I saw the eldest lady closing her eyes, taking a deep breath, and seemed to have something in her heart:

"Ask him why the fate of the sword was destined to be repeated collisions, shattering and...recasting from the beginning."

Hilley's voice fell.

Both she and Lausanne II looked gloomy and silent.

Only Thales was confused and had to cough to remind:

"All right?"

"Perhaps, Your Highness," Lausanne II came back to his senses and smiled helplessly, "Maybe it is this young lady I should meet."

"Okay," Thales said even more confused, he said honestly, "I really don't understand."

Xi Lai took a deep breath and returned to the front:

"He does not come for revenge, prince, but for answers."

"Answer?"

Thales became more and more confused:

But isn’t the answer already on the page?

The reason why Lausanne II ended up today...

"Brotherhood? Black Sword? Blood Bottle Gang? Turnbull? People like Belicia who betrayed you? Emerald City? Old Duke? Viscount Sonar? Struggle of interests? Political strife? Even the Kingdom's Secret Service and even... us

Bright Star Royal Family?”

Upon hearing the last name, Lausanne II revealed a cold look under his messy hair.

Thales' eyes lit up when he saw this:

"All the things and factors that brought you to this situation? Are these the answers you want to ask? All these... people who were involved?"

But Lausanne II looked at him and still sneered lightly.

"The important thing is not people, because 'people' are insignificant."

This time, the person who spoke was actually Heeley again, and the eldest daughter of Kevin Deere murmured in a deep voice:

"What really matters is: What makes a 'man' a human being? Why is a 'man' a human being?"

Why are people human? Why are humans human?

Thales looked confused when he heard this:

"Aren't these two sentences the same?"

"They are the same in common language, but in the language of..., they have different parts of speech," Heeley sighed and shook his head. "The former asks why people are human, and the latter asks

What a person does makes him a human being."

Why...

do what……

Thales became even more confused after hearing this.

Hilley whispered:

"Like the great advocate who was..."

Thales reacted:

"Um, Srimani?"

Xi Lai nodded, with a rare expression of compassion:

"Tell me, is he more like a human being when he is suffering and struggling, or is he more like a human being when he is well-off and well-off? Is he more like a human being when he is self-reliant, or is he more like a human being when he acts with a black heart and benefits himself at the expense of others? Is he more like a human being?

Are you more human when you surrender to reality and sacrifice your conscience, or are you more human when you suddenly wake up when the end is approaching?”

These words made Lausanne II's lips twitch and he looked confused.

It also made Thales feel confused.

He had to pat the back of the other person's hand and asked cautiously:

"Hile? Wyana? Good girl, are you still... okay?"
