Before leaving the castle, the old butler prepared a rather luxurious lunch for Lynch and them, like a waiter, he served a meal to the three of them with a smile, and introduced them to the origin of the dishes, how to eat, his kind attitude, and thoughtful service, even Vidro, who had always been very arrogant, was a little embarrassed.

It was close to afternoon after the meal, and the butler prepared a car for them and prepared a considerable amount of money for them.

"All of this is naturally what Miss Kate meant. The butler, who had always been unsmiling in Lily's impression, smiled at him and said, "She is actually very optimistic about your talent and admires you, and she is really happy that you can know the useless runes created by Miss herself for a long time." ”

Lynch saw Lily's face turn red in an instant - but judging by the other party's housekeeper's appearance, this should not be a big deal, she herself is a child who blushes easily and is embarrassed.

Although Vidlow had the idea of continuing to stay here to eat and drink because of the other party's meal, in the end, he stood at the gate of the castle and hesitated for a while under the words of Lynch and Lily, "Then we will leave first, you can stay here", and then angrily and unwillingly hurried after the person.

Lynch was originally willing to hang out in Thras instead of killing monsters outside the barrier to gain experience, just to take the girl to relax, not to mention that now the girl's father is sure to be dead, and the broken sword she is carrying behind her back is very conspicuous.

Further back, Lynch felt that he could use Seras as a stable base for exploring the outside world, a haven to come back and rest after being out for a long time, and in this barrier, whether it was the atmosphere or anything else, it was completely able to relax a person who had been nervous for a long time, and it was a much better existence than the City of Fire.

He really still needs to improve his abilities in the outside world.

......

After the strong financial support of Kate's butler, the three of Lynch were finally able to carry out their journey in the Thras in relative comfort in a luxurious carriage, this time they set out from Kate's lead, bypassing the territory of Locke and the Sunstriders, crossing the mountains, and heading towards the center of the Thras, intending to take a look at the legendary central tower and then go around the edge of the entire Thras barrier, maybe they will return to the Wells Territory, or maybe not, and then it will depend on Lily's meaning.

While on the road, Lynch once wanted to try to study the broken sword that Lily had inherited from his father, but unfortunately, it was as light as a feather in the girl's hand, and it could be said that it was a completely weightless sword, and it was even difficult for Lynch to hold it, and the sword would become heavier and heavier in his hand until he could no longer bear it.

This sword is the same as the little girl's father, who doesn't like Lynch.

Lynch had thought about what to do if he wanted to settle in Thras, and wanted to stay here, but the subsequent exchanges on the way proved that Lynch's idea was completely superfluous, and although Lily liked the variety of scenery here, she didn't seem to have any intention of staying here.

Just like the companions he occasionally met along the way, whether they were fire retainers or possessed ones, although most of them were still willing to stay here and continue to live, and were willing to pay the price of becoming "guinea pigs" for mages to study their abilities, there were also very few people who could not adapt to this illusory comfortable life and began to set foot on the road back to the castle, hoping that they would be able to set off again and continue to find the real world that was no longer affected by the black fog.

A barrier does not give them complete peace of mind, and they are always worried that the barrier will be broken one day, when if the black fog sweeps over, the people who have not experienced the baptism of the black fog at all may be in a much worse situation than the city of flames.

It's a feeling that no one wants to experience again.

Who's to say that this is unfounded? After all, the eternal flame that was once said to be unquenchable has changed.

"And now our castle is also being thoroughly investigated with the help of mages. The possessed man said: "When the hidden danger is completely eliminated, I believe that there are still a group of people who are willing to continue to move forward, it is not safe here, Lynch, when the time comes, we may not be able to have the same good luck as the last time, you have also seen the strength of those monsters, they are the main culprits who extinguished the eternal fire, I don't think there are any characters here who can stop them." ”

"And sooner or later, I'm going to die, under my own possession, and I'd better go out and look for a place where there's no black fog, the kind that doesn't exist at all. ”

Lynch could only comfort the companion, the glasses on his head made Lynch slightly impressed - he seemed to have played cards with himself, and Lynch always thought that he was a fire relayer: "It's impossible for mages not to prevent those monsters, they have an agreement with us." If you miss life in the castle more, you can check it out. ”

He himself actually had the same idea as the young man, but he still regarded the barrier area as a haven from the wind, and was not as radical as the young man.

The young man smiled and shook his head, clearly thinking of Lynch as the one who wanted to stay in Thras: "Your relationship with the two professional lords is extraordinary, Lynch, I know that, but I still hope you don't interfere with their judgment. ”

Lynch grinned and said nothing more, saying goodbye to the possessed man who was bent on returning to the castle and walking in the black fog again.

Some people can't see hope in the black fog for a long time, and they possess and explode under the unchanging darkness and cut themselves off, and some people want to continue to move forward in the black fog after staying in the so-called land of hope for a period of time, for various reasons.

But to be honest, Lynch is a little depressed, why is he always in the eyes of other capable people as a traitor-type character who eats soft rice under the hands of two big guys and girls, and then can influence the direction of their decision-making?

Lily, who had been silently listening to Lynch's communication with the man with glasses, just quietly stroked the broken sword in her arms, without interjecting or expression.

After meeting some people, seeing some new sights, and after more than a dozen days and nights, Lynch and his party finally approached their first target point, the very center of Thras.

They could see the central tower in the distance, straight into the air, until the end of their line of sight.

There is a large town not far away, which is quite prosperous.

Vidlow sprang out of the carriage and looked in the direction of the Central Tower with a frown.

"Did you ask about the smell there? from the tower?" she asked.

Lynch shook his head, "What? Is there any smell again? What do you want to eat?"

"Not this," Vidlow's expression was extremely serious, "there's a very serious, corroded stench over there in the central tower. ”
