Ness trembled even more, she could no longer speak, and Fern took her in his arms and patted her on the shoulder. Jarena's eyes suddenly darkened, but she immediately looked up again. "Now that the Holy Seal, the Hallows, and Ness are all in Serendra, aren't we in danger, and we should take the Hallows and Nessy out of here immediately!"

Black Ward squeezed his brow weakly, it was very late in the middle of the night for an old man like him. "Where can you take Ness to escape, now that the Elemental Envoy has appeared, the Twilight Cult will always find her. ”

Fern punched the table, startling both old men. "We can cross the Endless Sea, or go straight to Cape Storm to find a ship to take us across the Mist Sea, and we'll be safe when we leave Wallis. ”

Hussey glared at Fern disapprovingly. "I'm going to kick you out if you knock on the table like this again, you must know that we two old men can't stand the fright. ”

"Anyway, I'm going to get Ness out of here!" Fern raised his hand and was about to tap the table again, but finally held back from slamming it.

Morena looked at Fern with approval but nostalgia in her eyes. "The sooner you leave, the better, and leave here tomorrow, and if you and I are too tired to be here, I would suggest you leave now. ”

Fern looked at Morena gratefully, but didn't notice the expressions of the two old mages. "That's it, now hurry up and rest, tomorrow I'll leave here with Ness, and the holy artifact will be left to you, whatever you want. ”

Jarena's lips quivered, as if she wanted to say something, when Black Ward's voice interjected. "Wait, Fern, you can't just leave Wallis with Ness. ”

"What?" Fern looked at Black Ward alertly, his right hand unconsciously leaning towards the hilt of his sword.

"You'd better not draw your sword here, it's not good for you. Black Ward's deep eyes glared at the mercenary, but his old figure looked full of power. "No one knows what's on the other side of the sea, and you're just looking for death if you venture into it like this, so it's safer to stay with us. ”

Fern slowly raised his right hand and placed his fist on the table. "Even if you die in the ocean, it's better than being scared here. ”

"Really, Fern, there's nothing left when you're dead, and the strength of the six of us can't be lost to any of the Twilight Cult or any of the Mage Towers. Black Ward's expression softened and he was no longer aggressive.

Fern was silent for a few seconds, then leaned forward slowly, staring sternly into Black Ward's eyes. "Black Ward, I'm grateful that you saved me in the Black Swamp, but now I have to wonder which side you're on, and did you insist on stopping me from leaving with Ness to hold us down so that the Twilight Cult can take Ness away?"

Black Ward glared back at the mercenary without showing any weakness. "If I had to, I wouldn't have rescued Niss from the Twilight cult with Barred and Hussey. ”

Fern continued to stare at Black Ward for almost ten seconds before slowly retracting his body, Niss pursed her lips and looked at the mercenary worriedly, Jalena sighed and persuaded on the side, "Fern, in fact, you think about it calmly, Black Ward's words are not unreasonable, no one can come back after going deep into the Endless Sea and the Sea of Mist, it may be safer to stay with us than to take this risk." ”

"Are you on their side, Molena?" Fern was already dripping with sweat on his forehead, and his eyes were bloodshot from fatigue and nervousness.

"I ...... I just wanted to help you. Morena lowered her head aggrievedly, not knowing what to say.

Barred patted Fern on the shoulder. "Don't get excited, Fern, you're too tired, let's go get some rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Tomorrow, we'll have to leave tomorrow, I can't wait any longer!" Fern raised his voice excitedly.

"If you insist on leaving, no one will stop you, but the way you are now, like a madman...... Like a wolf, there is no way to think about it properly, so let's talk about it when you recover tomorrow. Barred pressed down on Fern's shoulder.

Fern clutched his head in both hands, clutching at his dry hair. "Yes, yes, I'm so tired, I've been living in extreme tension and worry every day for the past few days, and I'm just about to break down. ”

"Fern ......" Ness looked at the mercenary distressedly and slowly stood up. "I'll take you to the back room to rest, everything will be talked about tomorrow, we are guarding here, there will be no danger, you can rest assured." ”

"Thanks, Ness. Fern exhaled heavily, stood up, picked up two panniers, and followed Ness into the room with birdcage-like hair.

The four men outside the door looked solemn, and Hussey stroked his beard and hummed softly. "Do you have any suggestions? I can understand Fern's feelings, he has been walking too long on the road ahead, and it is completely normal to be resistant. ”

Black Ward nodded slightly. "I seemed to be a little harsher just now, but now that I think about it, I'm actually just like him, I'm also an escapee, and if you hadn't found me, I wouldn't have left the Black Swamp. ”

"People always demand a lot more from others than from themselves. Molina's cold words made the other three people look at her in surprise, and the girl was a little shy to look at, and quickly picked up the teacup to cover her face.

Barred looked at Jarena appreciatively. "Tell me what you think, ever since I saw you in Durham, I knew you were a mage who would surprise people. ”

Jasmina put down her teacup and pursed her lips, her gaze sweeping over the two old mages in front of her. "Before I say what I think, you must first tell me what you are here for, otherwise I will not be able to make a correct judgment, I believe that you are definitely not here to rescue Niss, you are just saving her halfway. ”

The junior's words obviously surprised the two old men, and Hussey coughed and adjusted his sitting position. "You're really not simple, Morena, that's right, we do have our own purpose here, you think about it, the Twilight Sect is to release the Dark Lord and then restrain him, and the Mage Tower also wants to release him, the difference is that they want to completely eliminate the Dark Lord, what do you think we should do?"

Barred tapped his knuckles on the table impatiently. "Fortunately, I'm not a mage, otherwise it would have driven me crazy to always talk like this, and if you want me to say, wouldn't you just stop them from releasing the Dark Lord?"

"Don't you know what they're for?" said Morena, looking at Barred in surprise. "I thought you were all in this together. ”

"It's true that we're in a group when it comes to rescuing Nissy, but I can quit at any time for anything else. Barred shrugged.

Jasmina nodded, her serious face indicating that her brain was spinning rapidly. "In that case, I advise you to quit immediately, the purpose of the two of them is definitely not to prevent the Dark Lord from being released!"

"What!?" even Barred almost screamed this time. "I really don't understand what you mages are thinking? I thought you would be a little different from the Twilight Sect and the Mage Tower, but I didn't expect you to be the same dog!"

"Calm down, Barrede, I think Fern is just like you. Hussey waved his hand and motioned for Barred to sit down. "Our plan is different from theirs, and that's because Black Ward has an insight from the source of magic about another way to destroy the Dark Lord. ”

"But......" Morena frowned. "In my opinion, any attempt to completely destroy the Dark Lord is extremely risky, and if you don't get it right, it is very likely that all of Wallis will be destroyed, and in this respect, your plan is actually no different from the Mage Tower. ”

"Of course there will be differences. Black Ward took another sip of hot tea to dispel some of his sleepiness. "The Mage Tower wants to use Ness to confront the Dark Lord head-on, but we are using a 'strategy', which will greatly reduce our risk. ”
