A little girl in a black robe, holding a broken sword in her arms, walked cautiously down the narrow, damp dungeon corridors.

The doors on both sides of the corridor were closed, and the doors were cluttered with rune paper, and some of them could have been traces from the Thras mages, and the runes carved into the door one after another, buzzing in a low voice at different frequencies along with the rune paper, were a little irritating.

This sound can only be heard by those who have also studied runes.

The significance of the runes and runes was obvious, and Lily knew what was inside the door—the ones who were dying, and the things that had died and become monsters.

The little girl continued on her way, and in the quiet corridor there was only the sound of her own footsteps, and the dim lanterns on either side stretched her shadow very long, and the long shadow hit the door, but under the influence of something, it turned into all kinds of strange and hideous appearances.

Although her heart was beating fast and she was a little nervous, she was able to take a step forward towards her destination by feeling the reassuring power of the sword in her arms.

You can hear your own breathing.

Lily struggled not to let herself habitually look down at her feet, and removed the "ornament" that Lynch had given her from the lining of her clothes that she was sitting around her neck.

"You've got a hole...... "She remembers Lynch's stunned look, "can you still use it?"

"It's okay to ......" At that time, she was a little nervous and embarrassed, after all, it was something that Lynch gave her, and such destruction might not make him happy: "It's not broken...... I'm sorry, I just thought it would be a little more convenient to put it on. ”

"It's okay, it's okay," Lynch looked at the weird eyeballs hanging under the little girl's white neck, which were really not good-looking—he hid his gaze more on the delicate and small collarbone that the other party exposed from the seam of his clothes, and did not make any other suggestions for the little girl's way of wearing: "As long as it can be used, sometimes this thing is better than perception, and there may be surprises at that time." ”

It was something that Lynch had gotten from the castle's pure white room at the time, and he didn't have much use for himself, so he gave it to Lily after making sure it was harmless.

Although Lily listened to Lynch's words carefully on the surface, and responded with "uh-huh", she didn't take Lynch's suggestion to heart at that time, after all, there was really no comparison between the weak perception of the possessed person and the flame relayer, but now it has helped a lot.

Perception in the castle is unusable, and it is absolutely impossible to deal with monsters with vision alone, and this is when the ornament that Lynch gave her finally comes in handy.

It's not far off...... The broken sword in her arms began to tremble slightly, interrupting Lily's thoughts, and for some reason, the little girl felt that she could magically feel some of the meaning of the sword. Although she didn't understand why she was now facing what her father left behind after his failed death, since it was her father's will, she would definitely not back down, so she rejected Lynch's strong request to help.

......

In fact, they had only just returned to the castle.

After feeling a heart-wrenching shock from the Central Tower, Lynch and his party did not stop any longer, and only took a few days to conveniently return to the Welsh Territory near the castle.

The impact did bring a slight change to Thras, although it was not felt deeply in other territories along the way, Wells gathered a lot of mages, many of whom were close to the two elders of the Sunseeker family in Lynch's perception - the density of mages here is now more exaggerated than Lynch's previous city on the top of Kate's mountain, not only in the city, but even in the villages and in the wilderness, there are many mages wandering aimlessly, although they all seem to be a little anxious.

Lynch was very cautious at first, and the events here made him a little suspicious of what Thrath was going to do with the castle, but after seeing that most of the fire followers possessed by the fire who had been scattered in Thras had successfully returned to the castle without receiving much trouble, Lynch did not hesitate any longer, and after giving the carriage to the passers-by he met, they broke through the barrier and returned to the castle.

The castle was crowded with mages and flame remnants, and the hall on the first floor was crowded, and the long tables with food were flanked by anxious people for some reason, dressed in colorful clothes, asking each other for news, but they were not as accustomed to lowering their voices as those who came out of the city of flames, which made the whole hall seem very noisy and disorderly.

"We're all too familiar with this kind of aura fluctuation. ”

"They destroyed our cities and extinguished our flames!"

"It must be the Pale Lord, why is His breath in our Central Tower?"

"What's that? Are those monsters the Pale Lord?"

"Prophecy is coming, and the end is coming. ”

The arrival of Lynch and his party did not attract too much attention, and the only people who attracted attention were at most two of them - the lovely girls who might be called sisters, and the mother and daughter were a bit exaggerated, because the older girls were only old enough to get married, and they had different hair colors with each other.

There are a lot of people coming and going in the hall now.

It's just that there are still a few people who blocked Lynch at the door of the hall, and these people all know Lynch's identity.

They are all capable people.

"Lynch, we've been waiting for you for a long time, have you just returned to the castle, or is there any news?" One of the middle-aged vulture with a gloomy face was the first to speak, and stretched out his hand to Lynch, shaking it tightly twice, Lynch had an impression of him, this was an elite of the expedition team that had followed Ningyue Sith: "I can't contact those adults, we should all be familiar with the fluctuations that covered the entire Thras before." ”

"We should get out of here right away. A middle-aged woman next to her interjected.

"I don't see any trace of a professional in the castle, not even the mage's side, it's not normal. The middle-aged vulture continued, "The mages here are reluctant to tell me what their higher-ups are doing right now - I suspect they don't know it themselves, but now that more and more people are entering the castle, almost all of the mages on the periphery want to come in. ”

The middle-aged man of the vulture said in a hurry, and the extremely fast speed of his speech made Lynch suspect that he should have been holding back for a long time, so that Lynch had no way to interject: "But according to them, there is still an adult in the castle, who lives in the spire at the top of the castle, and we have no permission to go up, and we can't even see her face! If she is in the castle, why doesn't she want to see us? Lynch, have you seen Luo Yu? What did she say? Or do you have to wait for the arrangement of the Seras mages?"

Lynch looked at the people gathered around him, and almost the powerhouses of the entire hall noticed his arrival, and they moved closer to Lynch's position, along with some equally curious mages.

Vidlow, beside her, pouted and hid behind Lily, she didn't like to face so many humans in this confined space.

"Listen to me, Charles, don't worry," Lynch hurriedly stopped the middle-aged vulture from talking, and now the entrance to the hall was a little crowded due to the gathering of others, and he explained loudly to the people around him: "I have just returned to the castle, and I don't know anything very clearly, so don't squeeze this way!"

He shouted to the people who came closer, and then explained to the people around him, especially the leader Charles, "I don't even know what happened, I'm just coming back, but if there's anything, I'll try to ask." ”

Charles nodded, and glanced around, and the ables tacitly gave Lynch a passage to the stairs on both sides of the hall with a clear meaning:

"Don't ink, hurry up and ask!"

Lynch didn't hesitate, nodded to Charles, and pulled Lily, who was a little overwhelmed, towards the staircase.

Some mages seemed to understand something and tried to keep up, but were tacitly blocked by the ables.

Here the stairs lead directly to the top floor.

Halfway through, I suddenly remembered that I didn't seem to see Kenwo.

I don't think I want to come back......

Lynch thought as he pulled the little girl briskly towards the top floor, encountering no obstacles along the way.

"I want to sleep! I'm dizzy from this stupid staircase!" Vidlow's short legs couldn't keep up with the footsteps, and now she was being held by Lily, she yawned a little dissatisfied, rubbed her eyes, and complained to Lynch with some sleepy eyes: "I haven't slept in a long time! And it's so hot here! I'm so sleepy!"

Lynch stopped for the time being, she had to arrange this little ancestor first, and then her special identity seemed to allow Luo Yu and them to discover and excavate: "Then Lily, why don't you take Vidlow to rest first-"

"No need. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him.

Lynch turned abruptly, the voice so close to his position that he didn't even notice it.

Luo Yu, who was dressed in plain white and still looked like a girl, stood a few steps up the stairs and looked down at the three people below: "Lily may have something to do." ”

She stared at Lynch indifferently for a while, and then set her eyes on Vidlow's body, at this time Vidlow was not sleepy, she also looked at Luo Yu, her amber eyes did not blink, and she looked at Luo Yu nervously, like a little milk cat who wanted to blow up.

"The rest is pretty much fine. ”
