"Well, hurry up," Robert said absent-mindedly. "We don't want to keep you. ”

"Okay, boy," Hubble sat down against the boulder, waiting for the pain to pass.

Hubble watched his old friend walk down the trail, looking a little clumsy in his armor.

We don't want to keep you.

"Yes, boy," Hubble said to himself. The dwarf quickly rubbed his eyes with his hands and stood up to follow his friends.

Wandering aimlessly through the mountains is tiring, and it's almost reaching the limit of half-elf patience.

The only thing that kept him from strangling Evan to death (especially after they had re-entered the third canyon within five hours) was undeniable, the old man had been leading them in the right direction.

No matter how aimless they seemed (Robert swore he had passed the same stone at least three times) any time he had to keep an eye on the direction of the sun and he would see that they were still heading towards the southeast.

But as time passed, he became less and less able to see the sun.

The cold winds of winter are slowly starting to subside, and there is even the smell of greenery in the air.

The sky was soon obscured by dark clouds of grey, and it began to rain, and the two of them kept falling, and the drops of water were enough to penetrate the heaviest cloaks.

In the afternoon, everyone was lifeless and had no energy at all.

Even Tysokov, who used to be energetic and constantly arguing with Evan about the direction of the Godland, was no exception.

The biggest frustration for Robert was that no one knew where they were.

(In fact, it was discovered that Evan had taken the map upside down.) The argument caused Wade to stuff the map back into the package and refuse to take it out again.

Evan threatens to turn Wade's ponytail into a pig's tail.

Robert had enough of the two men and ordered Findley to the back of the line.

While comforting Aven, his head kept simulating the plan to lock the two of them in the cave.

The peace that the half-elves felt in Karaman had completely disappeared after a few days of traveling.

He now understands that the source of that peace is the need to make decisions, the need to be constantly busy.

It's because he can finally help Lolana with this thing.

These thoughts allowed him to continue to float in the black waters, just as the sea elves of the Ishtar Blood Sea helped him.

But now he began to feel again, the darkness began to envelop him.

Robert's mind was focused on Lorana. Over and over again, the accusation of Gilsenas came to his mind - she did it for you!

Gilcenas may have forgiven him, but Robert knew he could never forgive himself.

What will happen to Lorana in the temple after the darkness? Is she still alive?

Robert felt a pang of fear in his heart. Of course she's still alive!

Darkness wouldn't kill her, as long as she still wanted Belcleral in exchange—Robert's eyes turned to the man who walked in front of him, close to Calamon's side.

I'm willing to use a switch to keep Lolana alive, he cursed under his breath, fists clenched. No matter what the cost!

Even if it was at my own expense or—he paused. Will he really hand over Berclery?

Would he really trade him for the Dark Queen, plunging the whole world into bottomless darkness?

No, Robert told himself firmly. Lorana would rather die than accept such a condition.

However, after a few steps, he changed his mind again.

Let the world fend for itself, he thought gloomily. We're doomed.

No matter what happens, we can't win.

Lolana's life is an important ...... However—......

Robert is not a person with a heavy heart. Lena walked beside Calamon, her curly red hair the only focus in the gloomy weather.

But the light was only in her hair, and it disappeared from her eyes.

Although Calamon had always been kind to her, he had not hugged her since that moment of mutual affection under the sea.

It made her angry during the long night, and he had taken advantage of her, she thought, just to ease his own pain.

She swore that when it was all over, she would leave him.

There was a wealthy nobleman in Karaman City who couldn't take his eyes off her......

But those are the ideas that come up at night. In the daytime, when she saw Calamon, when she saw him walking beside her with his head bowed melancholy, her heart melted.

She touched the ground gently.

He quickly looked up and smiled. Lena couldn't help but sigh.

Whatever he is a rich young aristocrat.

Hubble stumbled after him, rarely speaking, not complaining a word.

If Robert's mind hadn't been full of his own troubles, he would have noticed that it was a bad sign.

As for Berclery, no one knows what he was thinking.

The farther he went, the more tired and nervous he looked.

Blue eyes, which looked too young, looked around, like animals trapped in a trap.

On his second day in the mountains, Beclercle went missing.

Everyone was in a better mood that morning, even though Evan declared that they would soon be in the Land of the Gods.

But the gloomy weather soon followed, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and Evan led them into the bushes three times in an hour.

The old mage excitedly declared, "This is it—here we are!"

In the end, all I found was swamps, canyons, and a cliff.

This last time was a dead end, and Robert began to feel his soul drifting away from his body.

Even Wade was alert to the angry expression on the half-elf's face. Robert desperately tries to control his temper when he suddenly notices something unusual.

"What about Belcleral?" a chill quenched his anger.

Calamon blinked, as if he had returned from a distant world.

The tall warrior soil hurriedly looked around, then blushed and faced Robert in shame. "I—I don't know, Robert. I- I thought he was standing beside me. ”

"He's our guide to Neraka," the half-elf said through gritted teeth.

"He's the only reason why Lolana is still alive. If they catch him-"

Robert paused abruptly, tears preventing him from continuing.

He tried helplessly to think, feeling the blood rush to his head.

"Don't worry, boy," Hubble said slurredly, patting his arm.

"We went to find him. ”

"I'm sorry, Robert," Calamon muttered.

"I'm thinking about Thunder. I-I know I shouldn't-"

"How can your damn brother not be here. And make such a name?!" Robert yelled, and then came to his senses.

"I'm sorry, Calamon. He kept taking deep breaths. "Don't blame yourself.

I should have paid attention to him as well — we should all be aware of it.

Unless Evan can take us through the rocks, we'll have to go back......

No, old fellow, don't even think about it...... Berclercle shouldn't have gone far, and his footprints should be recognizable.

His skills in hiding are not good. ”

Robert was right. After walking back for an hour, they found a trail that they hadn't even noticed.

It was Hubble who found the man's footprints in the mud.

The dwarf shouted excitedly to the others, and ducked into the bushes, easily following the man's tracks.

The others staggered behind, and this time the dwarves seemed to suddenly gain vitality.

Like a hound that only knew that its prey was in front of him, Hubble did not hesitate to cut through the trees, cut the branches that stood in his way, and kept running.

He quickly threw everyone else away.

"Hubble!" roberts shouted more than once. "Wait for us,"

But the crowd grew farther and farther away from the excited dwarf, and at last he was no longer visible. Hubble's footprints later became clearer than Berclery's.

They had no difficulty tracking the heavy footprints of the dwarves, not to mention the broken branches and the vines that had been lifted by the roots.

Then they stopped suddenly.

They came to another cliff, but this time there was a way to get through: there was a hole in the middle of the rock that looked like a passage.

The dwarves could squeeze through without difficulty, and they could easily spot his tracks.

But it was so narrow that Robert looked at the entrance reluctantly.

"Bercleral squeezed through," Carlamon grimaced, gesturing at the bloodstain at the entrance of the cave.

"Maybe," Robert said skeptically. "Wade, go see what's on the other side—", he ordered.

Until he could be sure that there was something on the other side, he really didn't want to rush in just like that.

Wade easily crawled over, and they soon heard his shrill voice, yelling on the other side, but the echo was so severe that they couldn't hear what he was saying.

Suddenly, Aven's face lit up. "That's it," said the old mage excitedly.

"We've found it! the way in—through this path!"

"Is there no other way?" Calamon asked, looking gloomily at the narrow entrance.

Evan looked thoughtful. "I seem to remember—"

Then, "Robert, hurry up!" came clearly from the other end of the cavern.

"Is this the land of the gods?" said Robert, his eyes wide, staring blankly at the scenery in the distance.

From the very beginning, they sneak out of the city and head to where the darkness is to be, hoping to seize the last glimmer of hope - to free Lolana from the enemy.

But in the middle of the journey, there was an unexpected situation, and the eternal man disappeared!

As a bargaining chip in exchange with Lorana, now they are undoubtedly tantamount to death. But Robert and the others had no choice, and they had to send it.
