Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 999

Lily was walking slowly on the way to school, what her father said just now was still in her mind, what she planned to do in the future.

When she first entered the academy, she was looking for this answer, but she still couldn't find it as she was about to graduate soon.

"What do you want to do in the future? Like Maya, find a stable job and live? Then find an ordinary husband like your mother and have your own offspring?"

Lily shook her head desperately when she thought of this. This is definitely not the future she wants.

"Use my strength to protect Hope Island? Become everyone's guardian? But now the sea is calm, and the biggest movement is the friction between the governors. The Explorers' Association can coordinate it well. I can't be used."

Unknowingly, she came to the gate of the college, and Lily walked in after thinking for a moment.

If you are looking for your own life goals, then the knowledge you have learned before will not be useful in this regard, and you must find a way from other directions.

So she went to the library to find the answer, and the Hope Island library was well stocked. Except for some banned books, basically all the books in Dihai are included.

She believes that there must be one of these books that can help her solve her doubts.

Lily stayed in the entire library for a long time that day. She read too many books without sleeping and eating, but she still didn't find her answer.

Just as Lily was stepping on the ladder and searching above the heavy bookcase, a surprised voice came from below.

"Lily? What are you doing here? I've been looking for you all morning."

Lily lowered her head and found that her friend Maya was looking at her in surprise.

"I'm not doing anything, I'm just looking for my own future." Lily slid down the ladder and told her about her troubles.

"I never considered this issue before. It was Mr. Charles who pulled me onto the boat. Everything on the road was made by him, and he even made the choice for me to turn me into a human being in the end."

"I don't need to think about anything, just accept the result quietly."

"For nearly ten years, my only goal was to return to my parents, but when I did return to them, I found that there was no one to lead me, and I knew exactly what to do next."

"In other words, I can no longer find the meaning of myself, Maya, I am really confused now." Lily had a bitter look on her face.

If Lili was still in the past, maybe the future she wants is to be happy with her parents forever, eat well and dress well every day, but she is no longer the simple-minded Lili.

Knowledge makes her way of thinking no longer naive, and makes her grow up. It is impossible to rely on her parents.

But that still didn't help her find the answer.

Although I still don't quite understand some things in Lily's words, such as becoming a human, but the general meaning can still be understood.

"Is the life of rich people like this? Good-looking and rich, but you actually feel that life is meaningless? I really want to change with you and let you taste how fulfilling the life of the poor is."

Lily rolled her eyes at her complaining friend, and pulled her towards the door of the library, "Can you help me find a way? Aren't you my good friend?"

"As a good friend, I would like to remind you that you are about to graduate soon, and your only goal now is the final exam."

When Lili heard this, her heart tightened immediately, "That's right, there is also the final exam, which is the most important thing for now. Let's go, let's go and review."

After walking a few steps, Lily felt movement behind her. She turned her head and saw a hunchbacked old man walking slowly with a stack of books in his arms.

Lily knew him. He was a librarian named Sutter, with a very memorable scar on his forehead.

"What's wrong?" Maya asked suspiciously, holding her hand.

Lily shook her head, "It's nothing, maybe I feel wrong." After finishing speaking, she left with Maya.

The old man picked up the book Lily had chosen on the table, How to Find Your Purpose in Life

He looked at the title of the book and looked up at Lily's back, then climbed up the ladder and put the book back in his hand.

As the time for graduation approached, Lily temporarily found a short-term goal, which was to pass the test, and had no time to think about anything else

During the few days of the exam, all the students were extremely nervous. Everyone knew the gold content of the first batch of students.

As long as they can finish their studies, the great future promised by the governor is waiting for them.

But in other words, if you don't pass the test, then it will be a stain on your resume in the future, it will affect their employment, and no one wants to be a stain.

The anxious few days of the test finally passed, and after the final group open to each other to correct the papers, the result of the report card finally came out.

When they learned that the two had successfully passed the test, they embraced excitedly.

Facing the cheering students, officials from the Ministry of Education of Hope Island were also full of joy.

The Governor's investment has finally paid off. As soon as these people enter the workplace, Hope Island's technology will once again reach a new level.

That night, the college held a farewell dinner, and the pressure brought about by years of study was released on this day.

Under the influence of alcohol, the dinner scene was chaotic, but now no one cares about it. There were laughter, cheers and screams, and many people even hugged and kissed together.

Lily did not participate, she returned to the embassy again, looking at the chairs she had sat in, and the books she had read,

She is about to graduate, and I'm afraid I won't come to this place again in the future, and suddenly I feel a little bit reluctant.

"Child, are you confused now?" An old voice came from behind her, startling Lily.

When she turned around quickly, she realized that it was the librarian. Lily crossed her legs and slightly bent her knees to raise her skirt to him. "Mr. Sutter, were you not at the dinner party?"

"It's all young people's territory. I want to live a few more years." Sartre walked to Lily with a peaceful face.

He patted the scar on his forehead with his hand, "Do you know what this is?"

Lily stared at the ugly scar curiously, "Mr. Sartre, have you ever been injured on your forehead?"

Sutter shook his head, "No, there used to be a white inverted triangle here."

Upon receiving this news, Lily opened her eyes wide in surprise, "You used to be a believer in the Light God Sect?"

She thought that sister Linda was the only believer in the God of Light, but she didn't expect that there were still others missing.

"It used to be." Sartre sat on the stool slowly, thinking about the past. "Do you know how desperate I was when I learned that my god was dead?"

"I even wanted to commit suicide and follow Him. Although I didn't die with the help of my friends later, I fell into a deep confusion, just like you."
