"Beautiful? Are you talking about me?"
Because the distance was very close, Shinji could see the changes on Altira's face very clearly.
Her eyelashes were trembling, the tension in her cheeks was spreading throughout her body, and a blush was spreading outward from the base of her ears.
She's shy, but surprisingly innocent.
Shinji turned on the record function and nodded.
"Of course I'm talking about you. If you are not beautiful, then there are few people in the entire history of mankind who can be called beautiful. At least that's what I think."
"Hmm..."
The blush at the base of the ears quickly spread to the whole face, and the already soft and pleasant voice became weaker and weaker.
"You, aren't you scared?"
"What are you afraid of?" Shinji pretended to be stupid and asked even though he knew the answer.
"Scared... of me. I only need to reach out and pinch you, and you'll be dead."
Altira frowned and tried to look fierce. But in Shinji's eyes, the Titan without murderous intent was just a giant rabbit, with no deterrent power at all.
"If you really want to hurt me, of course I will be afraid. This is the instinct of life - will you hurt me?"
"I won't."
Looking at Shinji's still gentle face, Altira announced his decision.
"Why?" Shinji asked.
"You have no hostility towards me, and I will not hurt people who have no hostility towards me." Altira's thoughts are very simple, and this simplicity also shows her kindness.
"Even if I act with people who are hostile to you?"
Perhaps recalling the battle with Elquit a few days ago, Altira's eyes changed slightly. It was only then that Shinji felt the pressure released by this "wandering star vanguard".
Fortunately, the pressure disappeared quickly with a sound.
"She is she, and you are you."
Perhaps because he was unsure, or perhaps because of the familiarity from his previous life, Shinji never harbored any hostility towards Altira, and this kindness was rewarded at this moment.
"According to your logic, you have no hostility towards me and you don't want to hurt me, so why should I be afraid?"
Shinji said as his body flew into the air and jumped down from the top of the temple.
"It should be fine here. It must be uncomfortable to talk while lying like this."
"Thank you." Altira sat up as gently as possible.
"This is your home, I am the intruder, as the owner you actually thank the intruder, you are really..."
Although he was complaining, he liked Altira even more. You know, Elquet, who has the same status, is very willful and has no common sense. In order to help her clean up the mess, Shinji suffered a lot. In comparison, Altira really made him much less worried.
"Home... Really?"
The noun that Shinji accidentally said made Altira fall into thought.
"I don't quite understand the concept, but this is not my home. This is a fragment of the 'wandering star', a landing capsule used to invade Mooncell."
"No, I think this is your home." Shinji shook his head, "Why else would there be so much gold here? I don't think this metal would be useful to the 'Yusei'."
"This... This is something I picked out from the wealth and fame that humans pursue, and the desires that belong to self-realization, and then constructed it with spirit particles. It is not real gold. This is the past experience of my mind body that remained on Earth under the influence of dreams."
Altira closed his eyes and laughed as if recalling the dream.
"Hehe, I think I used to do the same thing, collecting a lot of treasure and then taking a nap, and I'm trying to recreate that experience. It's a shame that it's not something cute, but since it's a trophy, there's nothing I can do about it. Anyway, as long as it sparkles, it can't be a bad thing."
It really is the same hobby as dragons, but considering the culture of the Huns, it is not surprising.
Altila, the "Wandering Soldier", has two names engraved in history on Earth. First, he was the white giant "Sefalu" who brought destruction, and second, he was the leader of the ancient Huns, who trampled the Eurasian continent with his iron hoofs, destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire, and conquered an area second only to Genghis Khan and Iskandar. Attila was known as the "Scourge of God".
How did the Destroyer Titan from 14,000 years ago become a hero active in the fifth century AD? There is a secret behind this.
14,000 years ago, the original holy swordsman killed "Sefalu" with the star-made holy sword, and Mooncell took the opportunity to isolate the unknown area where Altira's body was. However, the wreckage of "Sefalu" that lost control did not fall down, but continued to wander on the continent until it exhausted its last bit of strength and fell in the Sahara Desert.
The locals witnessed his posture and drew a mural of the giant. After a long time, the body of "Sefalu" turned into ruins, which were later excavated by the chiefs of the Huns. In the deepest part of the ruins, they found a sleeping girl, who was the future king of the Huns - Attila. Her essence was the "brain body" used by "Sefalu" as a backup.
Because she was just a backup, she had no direct relationship with Yusei, so she did not carry out the mission of destroying civilization. The girl was raised as a human, fought as the king of the Huns, died as a hero, and finally engraved into human history and sublimated into a heroic spirit. In addition, although she had no direct relationship with Yusei, her destructive instinct and some combat power were still retained. With this power, Attila forged the reputation of "God's Whip".
This life was also passed to Altira in the form of a dream while she was sleeping, and had some influence on her. The surrounding gold, the attitude that hostility is an enemy and the enemy must be eliminated, and even the name Altira all come from this.
As for why she calls herself Altira when she is obviously Attila, it is simply because Attila is not a nice name and Altira sounds cuter. It is precisely because of this girlish heart that she can show such a smile.
Shinji also laughed: "Value aside, it's definitely not a bad thing."
"Do you like treasure, too?"
"I like it—wait, what are you doing?"
Before he finished speaking, Altira excitedly scooped up a handful of gold coins and threw them at Shinji. While he was sprinkling them, he was still talking.
"Come, come, come~ Oh, it's so beautiful, so beautiful, just like a golden waterfall. Is this the king's dream?"
"Wow!" Shinji let out a cry of pain and retreated into the temple as quickly as possible.
"Why, why are you running?" Altira's eyes, like burning planets, appeared outside the temple. "Don't you like treasure? I heard that the most luxurious thing on earth is to bathe in gold."
"This practice is outdated," Shinji protested. "Besides, if so much gold fell on me, it would kill me. Even if I didn't die, it would still hurt."
"Huh? Ah." Altira finally realized the problem and her eyelids drooped. "Is that so? That's right. Aa ...
"It doesn't matter."
Shinji walked out of the temple, sank his feet, and half of his body sank into the sea of gold, showing with practical actions that he didn't mind.
Why was she excited about such a small thing? It was simple, because she felt lonely after being isolated for 14,000 years, so she could only keep recalling Attila's short life.
She and Elquet were actually the same, they were both afraid of loneliness, although they didn't realize it.
PS: Well, he also married Fei Ge's wife, Sister Ke. Meow, Fei Ge doesn't know how to play. If the script is changed, Fei Ge will get both.
