After leaving Dorothy's inn with Thea, Urs didn't know if he had made the right deal with Miss Warlock, but he didn't have to worry about the other party's decision to reject his party's invitation.

The team lacks a key caster character, and he approaches it with a try-out mindset, which he really can't do or demand.

After dealing with the matter, the black-haired young man took the wolf-eared girl around him and went straight to another hotel in the business district, and returned to the old thief Grolleden's hospital room before it got dark.

In one of the rooms of the inn, Grolaydon was also sitting on a single bed, his lower body covered under a quilt, his waist resting on the pillow against the wall at the head of the bed at about ninety degrees, and a bandage covering his pajamas at the top of his chest, under which a little medical medicine was smeared, covering a hole-like wound.

The wound on the old thief's body had been left during the fierce battle between the crowd and Tieflin Sword Entropy, and he was using the Sour Fang Crossbow to find a good opportunity to shoot, but the enemy's katana used an unbelievable knife technique to bounce his powerful crossbow back at himself, slamming him backwards and slamming it into a wall inside the church.

The slash of the sour bolt and the moment it slammed into the wall hurt the old man's body.

Koto and Stonefist waited by the old man's bedside to take care of him, as Urs had requested. After the young man and the wolf-eared girl returned, the brown-haired old thief reflexively looked at the two who opened the door and came in, and asked curiously with a stubble on his face, "How is it, Your Excellency, Captain?" Did Dambert's daughter say yes to your invitation? ”

"Maybe it's similar to what you were in at the time, and she needs time to think about it." Urs walked into the room, waited for Thea to come in as well, and closed the door with his hand, "Anyway, how do you feel, Gloridon?" ”

"I have to say it's not very rosy."

"What's wrong?"

Hearing the old thief tell him that the situation was not very optimistic, Urs's head suddenly became alert, and his steps became much faster, and he hurried a few steps to the old thief's bedside.

Stonefist and Koto stood a little on either side, leaving enough space for the wolf-eared girl behind the young man to follow. The expressions on the faces of the dwarven warrior and the orc warrior monk did not seem to be very pleasant, and the black-haired young man glanced at his two friends left and right, and a bad premonition followed him.

He said goodbye......

Gloridon's mentality was relatively calm, I don't know if the old man's mental endurance was strong enough, or if he had been able to tolerate himself a lot after completing his revenge on the shadow dragon named Sakethorth in the depths of the shadow ruins of Rass.

The old thief looked at his companions beside the bed, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, raised his right hand and pressed it down, and motioned to Stonefist and Koto: "Let me speak for myself." ”

Then he looked at Urs calmly, hesitated, and explained, "...... The old dog's teeth were gone. ”

"What did you say?" The young man's eyes widened.

"The bolt seems to have hurt my lungs, and the back of my head seems to have hit the wall of that church in a bad place." Gloleden sighed helplessly, unwilling, but had to accept the reality, and turned his right hand that had just been raised and pressed his wrist, palm up, and five fingers were not very flexible.

The young man saw the old thief's movements in his eyes and was surprised in his heart: "Your hand? ”

It dawned on him that something bad was wrong.

"It's not just hands." With a bitter smile on his face, Gloleden put his hand down, "My limbs have become more clumsy, my hands and feet have problems with coordination, and my lung injury must have made my physical strength drop a lot compared to when I was younger...... You can see what this means for thieves. ”

"Can't the priest in the city cure you?" Urs was reluctant to give up, "Koto broke his bones, isn't he still healed?" I remember the mid-ranking priest in the temple district would 'heal the moderately wounded' magic. ”

"Maybe Gloriden's injuries are severe...... "Koto muttered quietly as he glanced at him, the fingers of his hands pinching each other restlessly, wishing that the old priest of the clan was still alive and that he would be here now.

The Dwarven warriors' Hearthfire clan has no shortage of warriors and clerics, and the strong warriors who defend the clan and the priests who serve the Hearthfire Mother provide the best magical support and healing to the warriors who defend the clan, a tradition that has continued on the plateau for many years.

Stonefist placed his thick hand on the dwarf's shoulder and shook his head silently, knowing in his mind what Groleiden meant.

And the same goes for Thea. The silver-haired wolf-eared girl had already controlled her emotions after a short period of shock, tried her best to calm down her inner ups and downs, looked at the old man on the bed, and then heard the old man's next sentence at the same time as everyone.

"I'm sorry, guys." Gloriden craned his neck with regret, his gray eyes looking at the ceiling of the room with his gray eyes, "I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you on any longer on my journey......

"I understand...... No need to apologize. ”

Urs understands the old thief's plight. A thief who loses his agility and basic stamina is a burden to a pursuing adventure party, and the old man would rather end his adventure and retire than be a burden.

This kind of mood has also been experienced many times in his game journey in the previous life.

With the Thorns Squad about to set off, it seems inevitable that a goodbye between friends will be inevitable no matter what.

"Is there anything else you'd like to do, old friend?" Then the young man frowned, clenched his fists, and accepted the reality bitterly, "In addition, Mr. City Lord mentioned to us in the morning meeting that he thought he owed something to the Thorn Adventure Group during that incident eight years ago. ”

"Victor wants to say sorry to me?"

"There's that meaning in there. In addition, he also said that if you want, when you retire, you can arrange for you to work for him by his side, which can be regarded as a little compensation for the thorny adventure group back then. ”

"Use power to compensate an old dog's wounded heart? Well, I'll seriously think about it, although I didn't hate him. Gloriden smiled wearily, "Is there anything else you want to do?" Not...... I'd like to recommend you to meet someone, Captain. ”

"Recommended?" The young man was slightly stunned.

"That's right, recommended." The old thief's eyes blinked, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the corners of his mouth grinned optimistically, "She is Melhoss's daughter, her name is Bellingis, a lively and lovely little dwarf girl, who learned a lot from me eight years ago, and also learned a little magic from her illusionist father. ”

"She needs to be sharpened and there is still a lot of room for improvement, but now she is probably enough to fill the void left by my retirement."

"If you are interested, you can take my letter of introduction and go to Casey Harbor to find her, and maybe she will still live there......"
