The cave is still spotless, even the uneven walls of the cave seem to be repeating, Enoch has changed from irritable to discouraged, he is no longer angry, but walks at the end with his head down, the original task after the break has become no longer important, there is no need for the break at all, even if there is, the warriors are willing to leave their backs to danger, and a happy death is better than their current situation.

Miruria no longer searched the path vigilantly, but walked aimlessly in the first place, the dagger still in her hand, but only hanging weakly on the side of her body, the ball of light leading the way for her twenty yards ahead, and the endless darkness waiting for her ahead.

Nigel still looked wobbly, his loose mage robes hanging down his body, and the mage still didn't seem to be worried about their situation, even if no one could remember how many days they had been gone.

Fern followed behind the mage, completely out of his mind about destroying the black dragon eggs, and Ness kept in the mercenary's mind repeatedly, and he even began to consider the possibility of never seeing them again.

Eventually, Miruria could no longer stand the hopeless advance, and the scout stopped, put the dagger back into his belt, and sat down slowly against the wall, clasping his hands on his knees, and burying his face in the crook of his arm.

Fern and Enoch sat down on the spot, both staring blankly at the top of the cave, not bothering to say a word.

Nigel looked back and forth at the three of them, sighed and sat down. "We're getting closer to the finish line, and it's almost time for the Seven to come to our aid. ”

"The Seven Gods are asleep. Enoch gave the mage an angry look. "In our world, maybe the dark tide has captured the fortress of Magnus, and the black dragon has killed all the soldiers of the three kingdoms, but we can't do anything here, and what's worse, we can't even die, we can only go on here forever. ”

"Time is chaotic here, so when the exit back to our world comes along, we can go back to any point in time. Nigel explained, "So, you don't have to worry about us not being able to catch the battle. ”

"Alright, Nigel, don't say anything like that again, there's no difference between saying it and not saying it. Fern was in a terrible mood, taunting the mage. "I still have a lot of work to do, and I don't know if there's a chance to do it. ”

Enoch patted the mercenary on the shoulder and looked at him sympathetically. "Fern, I can understand your feelings, and Ness, who you've been talking about, hasn't been able to see you again. The warrior turned to the scout with his face buried in his arm. "At least, Miruria is here with me, and I die without regret. With that, the warrior walked over to the scout and took the girl who had raised her head in surprise into his arms.

Fern thought of something, pulled out a short dagger from his leather boots, and carved it vigorously into the cave wall. Enoch watched as the mercenary finished carving and sat back on the ground again. "Is it for Ness?"

"Yes, if she walks in here in the future and sees these words, then she will know that I have missed her here. Fern looked blankly at the crooked writing on the wall and said slowly. "Although, I would prefer that she never come here. ”

"You're so pessimistic......" Nigel spoke again, but when he saw that the other three weren't listening to him, he closed his mouth in amusement.

The four of them didn't know how long they had been sitting, and in this plane, they didn't get tired, so they didn't feel like sleeping, they just stayed where they were. In the end, Nigel couldn't bear it anymore and stood up. "Let's keep walking. ”

Enoch and Miluria were just about to stand up when Fern's voice rang out, "I'm not leaving. All three looked at him puzzled. "Since at a certain point in space and time we will meet the end, then I just sit here and wait for time to change, then it is possible to hit the end, so why should we continue walking?"

Nigel frowned and thought for a moment, then sat back on the floor as well. "You have a point, it's true. ”

"It's different, if we're walking, then space and time are changing, and sitting here is only time changing, so isn't it less likely to hit the end?" Enoch hadn't figured it out yet, but sat back on the ground with the scout.

"No, Enoch, space and time are infinite, and there is no difference between two things changing and one thing changing, as opposed to infinite things. Fern shrugged and leaned against the wall relaxedly.

"I ignored that!" Nigel tapped his head in frustration.

"Wouldn't it be, Nigel, that we didn't have to go into the cave in the first place, just wait at the entrance?" Enoch asked, his eyes wide in disbelief.

Nigel swallowed and didn't answer Enoch, he was afraid that the warriors would rush up and beat him. But instead of doing so, the warrior took Miruria's hand tightly, and the two pressed close together.

Fern looked at them with a smile, his thoughts drifting off into the distance, drifting back into their world. He thought of the first time he had met Ness in the Queen's favor, and the girl was so immature, with a pretty face full of innocence, and her sky-blue eyes and long bright red hair made Fern feel impressed. Then he thought about his encounter with Queai in Sarah, and the girl's charming face and gestures pointed at his deep weakness caught him off guard. Memories flashed through the mercenary's mind, the words he said to Ness during the decisive battle with Elonhan, the pain and sorrow of holding Ness, who was no longer breathing, the disappointment when Ness refused her request and insisted on staying in the Mage Tower, Quai broke into his life at the right time, giving him the tenderness and comfort he needed most, Quai accompanied him to escape from the Mage Tower and walked with him for most of Wallis, only to leave him before the end. And now, Quiai is nowhere to be found, and Ness is even more distant in the Mage Tower, and the hope of seeing the two of them is as unrealistic as defeating the Dark Lord. Fern closed his eyes with difficulty, the back of his head resting against the cave wall, and suddenly he felt that all his hopes were no longer important, and that perhaps it would be best for him to die here like this.

Fern's hand on the dagger tightened, the back of his hand bursting into a fierce struggle. Enoch and Miluria no longer spoke, but each looked down at the ground, and Nigel also closed his eyes, as if he was meditating and sleeping, and no one noticed Fern's abnormality. The mercenary suddenly made up his mind, opened his eyes suddenly, and his right hand holding the dagger quickly raised.

At this moment, Miruria suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of light. "Listen, what is that sound?"

The dagger had already touched the clothes, and Fern himself didn't know how his right hand had stopped at such a fast speed, and the mercenary gasped for breath, and sweat was dripping from his forehead.

"What did you say, Miruria, I didn't hear anything. Enoch pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"Wait, it's gone now. The scout put his index finger to his lips and motioned for the warrior not to speak, and then a faint sound of water droplets rang out, but only for a moment, and then again. "Do you hear me? Like the sound of water droplets. ”

The warrior was still frowning inexplicably, and Nigel shook his head and glanced at Fern to say something to him, but changed his mind and turned to the scout. "I heard it too, very light, very light, but it did, perhaps, this is the end. ”

"Do you say the end is here? where it is, why can't we see it? Enoch frantically stood up and groped around the cave wall. "We have to find it quickly, or we might miss it. ”

"Don't look for it, warrior. Nigel straightened up and sat upright. "As long as we reach the finish line, we won't miss it. ”

Enoch was still uneasy, and stood against the cave wall. "I just don't want to miss it, I'm afraid that if I miss it, I'll never have a chance to find it again. ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of water droplets, which was only a small sound just now, came again, this time the sound sounded a lot, and it seemed to be around everyone, but Enoch turned around twice, and did not see any water droplets. As time passed, the sound of water droplets was gradually muffled by the sound of the water, and the sound came from far and near, like an endless river flowing past everyone. The scout nervously grabbed the warrior's arm, and Fern had recovered, alertly paying attention to the movements around him, and Nigel opened his eyes, his mouth silently reciting something, ready to cast a spell at any moment. Suddenly, the oppressive cavern was gone, and the crowd lost support under their feet, and instantly fell downward, and the sound of water in his ears became louder and louder, and the water vapor rushed to Fern's face, although he was in the dark, but the mercenary's instinct told him that they were falling into the river.
