The campfires by the lake weakened with the passage of time, and finally went out with the caress of a breeze.

After discussing their plans for the future, the young men rested on the spot, and at last they had a few hours of sleep before dawn, and by this time they had packed their belongings and prepared to leave for the time being, and then arrive at the Violet King's capital called Perades on the appointed date in the future.

Considering that his team on this route was going to the Valley of Scorpion to obtain the Obsidian Codex, and acquiescing to Arya's attempt to spy on Camussa herself, Fein had agreed to Elven Maiden's proposal to change the plan a few hours earlier.

After a slight adjustment by the two groups, he and the three girls beside him were about to go north, and Arroyo, Raymond, and Tina, who were standing opposite him, would embark on a westward journey, along a much safer road to Silversparrow City.

This parting may be as the young paladin estimated, and the two groups will not be able to meet again until the end of the year, or the spring of the following year.

The series of adventures from Dawnwind to Hurengel is not perfect, but he thinks that he has done everything he can, after all, he has not traveled to the wasteland because of Edventer's guild plan in this life, and at this time, he has used his strength and experience to prevent the first move of the Dark Alliance's invasion of the south before the outbreak of war, and has secured three important strategic points for the future human alliance.

If it is required to be perfect, the ruins of Ork that have been destroyed by dragon raids still have some relics of the Farentan officers, there is also a quest chain in the hilly mountains west of the Stone Crab River Plain that can permanently increase attribute points, the treasure map of the pirate captain Redbeard Jackson is still on the Misty Island, and some connections planted in Hurenger by the Lex Guild, the Brotherhood of Thieves, and the Nightborn can still be fought for - but the time left for him in this life is too short, in order to ensure the victory of that future war, He didn't dare to ignore the big picture for the sake of a small profit.

"Arroyo, you have this thing." The young paladin stepped forward from the ranks of the maidens, took a shield-shaped badge out of the Void Pocket, and handed it to Arroyo along with the Void Pocket.

"What is this?" Arroyo took both of them and looked down at the badge in his hand.

"The coat of arms of the Doorion family."

"The one we picked up at the auction?"

The young paladin nodded.

Arroyo's mind was quick-witted, and when he saw Finn hand over the illustrious family to him, he quickly realized that Finn might need him to do something with the little badge, and then asked, "What should I do with it?" ”

"You don't have to use it." Finn looked at the young thief and replied, "This badge represents the power of the Dourion family, the Duke of Gorantia, Conlote Doorion. Your actions will reach the nobility of the Violet Kingdom, and this badge can increase the flexibility of your actions, and even act as a life-saving talisman at critical moments, but I don't recommend that you treat it as a regular means and leave it to you. ”

"I see." The young thief gathered his five fingers, pinched the badge and the empty pocket in his palm, and then put the two items into his clothes bag.

To be honest, he could feel Finn's trust in him, which made him a little nervous about the rest of the journey, after all, although he was quite confident in his ability to judge the situation, he could not be unpredictable, and the concerns hidden behind the fog could make it impossible for any politician to have a full grasp of the situation, let alone an ordinary person like him.

Just as the thief youth questioned his own existence, Finn certainly knew that Arroyo was still born in the game world, and it was impossible for him to have another life experience like him, and he could use those past memories and experiences to avoid detours.

If the person he was working with at this time was still the president of his previous life, Oryant, he could have no doubt that the genius wizard who had stepped into the legendary realm with him would be able to use the resources he had at hand to easily hook up with any faction of the Violet aristocracy, and at the same time gain political power, he would have cleaned up some of the shady traces and was spotless - this was one of the factors why the legendary guild Edventel was able to rise so quickly on the shores of the St. Furren Sea.

Finn is not good at political power play, but he understands that Arroyo's diplomacy and ability to manipulate the situation behind the scenes cannot be compared to his former best friend, so the task he gave Arroyo is limited to gathering intelligence, and even if he gets in touch with the regent faction of the kingdom, it must be based on the premise that the young thieves can protect themselves.

Those professional politicians are good foxes, and he doesn't want his slightest negligence to send his friends into the tiger's mouth.

"Raymond." After handing over the Durion family's badge to Arroyo, the young paladin took a step back and turned his gaze to the young swordsman on the side, "Well, I don't really have much to tell you...... In short, keep your temper under control and be humble. The curved sword of the Far Easterners is a weapon of tranquility, an Eastern master of weapons once told me. ”

"A weapon of tranquility?" The stunned green swordsman frowned slightly and blinked.

He didn't understand the meaning of Finn's words for a moment.

But Finn told him to keep his temper in check, which he could understand, after all, he knew that he was too impulsive sometimes.

This problem does not mean that something bad is going to happen one day. Ever since he had suffered in that encounter with Finn in Azur Harbor, he had consciously thought about making amends.

So, after a second of pause, he nodded at the paladin in front of him, indicating that he had listened to the latter's words.

After giving Raymond a little advice, Finn turned his head sideways and looked down at the little girl who was holding Raymond's hand and standing beside the young swordsman.

The half-fairy little girl named Tina just raised the two snow-clear eyes in her sockets to look at him, and the young paladin couldn't help but feel a wave of pity in his heart, and then squatted down to put his gaze at the same height as hers, and said, "Tina, you have to listen to Brother Arroyo and Brother Raymond on the way, understand?" ”

"Tina understands." The little girl nodded again and again, as if she was afraid that Finn would be disappointed.

"Do you remember last night?"

"Our lives are given by Liv, the goddess of life, and on the basis of life, we are all created equal, and there is no natural high or low."

"Good boy."

After listening to Tina's word-for-word recitation, Fein smiled and reached out to stroke the silver hair on top of her head, then stood up and walked back to Arya, Camussa, and Lilith.

"Are we leaving?" The elf girl, who had retied her light blonde hair into a ponytail, turned her head to look at the other two beside her, and then turned her gaze back to Finn and asked.

"Yes, we're leaving." He looked at Arya, then turned back to the three who were about to separate, "Then let's go." ”

"Hmm." The young thief led by the other team responded to him with a calm gaze, "My lord, friends, we will see you at the end of the year or next spring." ”

"Definitely." The young paladin clenched the five fingers of his left hand into a fist and raised his arm to prove that he had made this promise.

As his words fell, the first rays of dawn lifted the first clouds of the night from the other side of the sky, and the rising sun of a new day began to rise at the end of the sea.

It's dawn.
