Gordon didn't quite believe Faritan's words.

If she had a way to leave, why should she stay here?

He didn't hide his thoughts, so the witch quickly understood the meaning from her expression. However, Faretan only smiled slightly and said, "I have the ability to let the white dragon come here, and naturally I also have the ability to let you leave." Mind you, I mean being able to help you get out, but I can't do anything but sit in this hut and waste my time. ”

Gordon thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Is it because of your physical problems?" ”

"Yes." Faretan does not shy away from his greatest pain, "Half of my body is vibrant, and the other half is decaying and aging. This is a very unbalanced physiological state. To be honest, my body is more fragile than a simple old woman. So if I forced my way through the teleportation array, my body would fall apart in an instant and be torn in half because I couldn't withstand the effects of that arcane energy. ”

These are clear. The only reason Faretan was trapped here was because of her fragile body. And it was clear that she didn't have the ability to heal her body on her own.

Gordon believed the other party's explanation and asked, "So what do you want me to do?" ”

"I can help you get out of this place without pay. But after you leave, you'll need to collect alchemy materials for me to heal my body, and find someone. When you come back with that person and the materials I need, I have another reward. ”

Gordon laughed, "Ma'am, how can you be sure that I will definitely help you and finally return to this strange place?" ”

"Because you're very interested in both the Floating City and the Ancient Orb." Faretan cut the railroad. "In the conversation just now, Mage Freeman, you talked about the two topics of Floating City and the Ancient Orb. All of them showed a strong interest. In stark contrast, there is another mage who passes with you. The bearded gentleman, however, just bowed his head and wrote and drew on a piece of paper, studying the Tower of Eternity of the Akhorsia Empire. That's why I found you. ”

Gordon didn't hide his interest in the Floating City and the Ancient Orb, so he nodded in acknowledgement. He said, "If I meet the requirements and bring back all the people and things you need, then what can you pay me, Lady Faretan?" ”

The witch smiled charmingly: "I have lived in this place for thousands of years, enduring endless loneliness and loneliness. But it's not for nothing. I think you're very interested in my research materials on the Ancient Orb. ”

Gordon was indeed tempted. He raised an eyebrow, "Okay, ma'am, we're done." ”

Faretan handed Gordon a list of supplies she needed, and said, "The person I need doesn't have a specific identity, but she must be a member of our Silvermoon Witch Clan, in other words, you must bring one of my family here." Only the special spells of our witches. to be able to heal the wounds on my body. ”

What a coincidence!

With enough luck, Gordon doesn't even need to leave the 124th floor of the abyss to find a qualified person.

"Judging by your expression, have you found such a person?"

Gordon laughed, "Lady Faletan. Do you know Triss? ”

"Triss? Oh, that red-haired girl! Yes, she is indeed a member of our Silvermoon Witch family. This little guy is very talented. Even more than me. When I left Livia, she was just a child. I'm afraid she's grown into a big girl now......" Thinking of this, the Silvermoon Witch glanced up and down at Gordon. "What's your relationship with Triss? Is she your lover? ”

Gordon smiled bitterly: "Of course not. ”

"Really...... I saw that you were surrounded by so many beautiful girls, and I thought ......"

Gordon felt that he could not blame the other party for the misunderstanding, so he ended the topic as much as he could: "Triss is a friend of a friend of mine. She was captured by a group of Northumbradians and taken to the Endless Abyss. The purpose of those Northumbradian people seems to be this eternal jewel as well. ”

"Northumbradian ...... Hum! Faletan expressed disdain for the followers of the Five-Colored Dragon Queen, but was still very concerned about Triss's safety, "What about Triss's situation?" She's not in danger? ”

"As far as I can tell, Triss is useful to those of Northumbard, so there is no danger for the time being. And my friend went to rescue her. Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll be able to join them when I leave here. ”

The witch was silent for a moment, and handed Gordon a piece of paper full of various magical raw materials: "That's it, you bring me the supplies and Triss I need, and I will tell you all the information related to the Floating City and the Ancient Orb, and swear in the name of the Silver Moon!" ”

The witch's fingertips streaked across the air, outlining a shining moon with a silvery glow. This is the special way in which the witches of Livia sign their contracts.

Early the next morning, Faletan set up a teleportation circle for Gordon and his party.

"Although it is already the coordinates of ten years ago, the location of the City of Symmetry should not have changed. Even if it was destroyed, it would be impossible for the Barudilon guy to rebuild the capital elsewhere. ”

Gordon nodded: "Yes, that demon lord with symmetrical obsessive-compulsive disorder will never allow his kingdom to change in the slightest discord. ”

After a brief farewell, the group walked into the teleportation array. After a flash of light, they came to the outskirts of the City of Symmetry in the aftermath of teleportation in a slightly dizzy state.

"Freeman mage...... "Aziz called Gordon to stop, "let's say goodbye here." Because I can't wait to go back to the Lord Realm and put into practice what I found in Seanzu! If you have the chance, I hope you will be able to come to the South as a guest. I will definitely give you the warmest hospitality, my friend! And by then, the vast and dusky desert may have turned into a green field under the change of great magical technology. ”

"Then I'll see......," Gordon waved his hand.

After separating from the bearded mage and his sister, Gordon and his party entered the City of Symmetry. Gordon handed over some of the soul crystals he had obtained after killing the Revenant Master Olaphne to Vinya: "You go find a place to settle down first. I'll go to the palace to meet the king. ”

With the precious general equivalent of soul crystals, whether it is trading, buying and selling, or bribes, it is handy. Gordon didn't need to worry about Vigna being in too much danger in an orderly city. And he had to hurry up and hand in the task to draw an end to the first trip to Seanzu.

After this initial exploration, the next time I return to Seanzu, it may be the harvest season.

The Norsengardians who had entered Seanzu with Gordon had not yet returned to the City of Symmetry. So Gordon became the first adventurer to return the mission.

And he also did a great job of recording the situation of Seanzu in detail and accurately with the image crystal. Although the power of the mysterious gem gray frost has disappeared now, and the entire city will quickly get rid of the effects of ice and snow, at this time, Gordon still provides the freshest and most timely information.

Gordon was paid handsomely, though only a few soul crystals that were of limited use to him, and he was also received by Barudilon's right-hand man, a six-armed serpent demon with only five arms.

The Serpent Lady's name was Jeanne, and she was the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, the General, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Chief Clerk, and the Mistress of the King.

In any case, the kingdom that the demons have created is like a child's play, and they cannot expect the distribution of power to be structured and balanced like the real human kingdom.

Mademoiselle Jeanne was very appreciative of Gordon's contribution. And after this knowledgeable adventurer quietly handed over a few high-quality soul crystals, she admired Gordon even more, and even used the power in her hand to allow Gordon to use the Tower of Teleportation once.

As a result, Gordon was finally able to get in touch with the main material world after a long absence.

"Brother! You're still alive! You're still alive! ”

When he heard the familiar voice coming from the teleportation circle, Gordon felt as if a warm current flowed through his body.

"Yes, dear sister, I'm still alive, it's a matter of course." Gordon said in a relaxed tone, "But I'm in the Endless Abyss right now, and I have limited time to communicate with you. ”

"The Endless Abyss? Brother, how did you get to that kind of place? You okay? ”

"Good. Venia, Ji'er, and Ainia were all there for me. We are happily traveling to the abyss. Surrounded by passionate and kind demons who are always thinking about killing you, and beautiful volcanic lava everywhere you go. It doesn't get much better than this! ”

Xie Ona also heard that Gordon was joking, so she didn't take it seriously. However, she was also relieved to hear that the other girls were also safe.

Because of the limited communication time, the siblings didn't have much time to chat. Xie Ona seized the time to explain the changes during the time of Gordon's disappearance.

In addition to the biggest news that Gordon already knew: Northumbard was at war with Antoria, another bombshell was that His Majesty, the Emperor of Ferredon, suddenly fell ill at such a critical moment. His Majesty the Emperor has not appeared in public for many days, and no one knows what his condition is or whether he is strict. The external wars, combined with the uncertainty of the supreme ruler, kept the country in a state of restlessness. The lords of many places are showing signs of imminent movement.
