Everybody grows old and dies. Most manga / novels only show the beautiful part of life, childhood and youth, forgoing the adult and old phases.

I think it's awesome my favorite character in this novel ends together with person she loves, had children and grandchildren, grew old together with Rudeus and lived to die of old age, not dying some stupid or sad death. If you think 70 is too few, remember that Rudeus died six years later, but he was also younger than Eris, living up to 74 y.o. Not only that, but we're talking about a world with a medieval setting, where there's no advanced medicine and, unless you're from a long-lived race, you're most likely going to have a lifespan of 60~ yrs.

This isn't some xianxia/xuanhuan where everybody live forever or for hundreds of years so I think it's a quite satisfactory end. Most endings are either open or too nonsesical, like "I will continue to try harder from now on" or "The adventure continues" types of endings.

Also, it's confirmed in the final chapter that Rudeus had the dream 40 years prior to his death, meaning he truly died at 74 y.o. and he also confirms that Eris already died of old age before him.
