"Don't be another dead end. We're going to go down this path," Robert muttered to himself, "and there's no choice either way." ”

The group crawled hand and foot on the ground and crawled into the narrow entrance. The road inside doesn't get any better.

They were also forced to huddle themselves in a ball and crawl forward in the mud.

Caramon with broad shoulders was most painful, and for a while Robert carefully considered leaving him behind.

Wade was waiting for them on the other side of the cave, eager to look into the cave.

"Robert, I heard something," he kept saying. Hubble was yelling.

It's right in front. You'll be able to see this place later, Robert, you won't believe it!"

But Robert didn't have time for sightseeing, at least not until everyone had safely crossed the passage.

It took all of them the strength to finally pull Calamon out.

When he finally appeared, the skin on his arms and back was already broken and bleeding.

"This is it!" said Aven. "Here we are. ”

The half-elf turned his head to look at this place called the Land of the Gods.

"If I were a god, I probably wouldn't choose to live here," Wade said in a low voice.

Robert was forced to agree with him.

They stood in the middle of the mountains, in a circular basin. As soon as Robert saw this place.

What surprised and unbelievable him the most was the feeling of alienation and emptiness here.

On every path in the mountains, signs of life were seen: new sprouts on tree trunks, freshly sprouted grass, wildflowers struggling to grow in the snow.

There is nothing here.

The bottom of this basin is very smooth and there are no signs of life at all.

The mountains that surround this basin surround them. The sharp summit seems to be constantly pressing down, giving onlookers the feeling that they will be crushed against the rocks beneath their feet. The sky overhead was blue.

It was clear and cold, with no sun, no clouds, and no birds.

What's even stranger is that when they came in, it was raining outside.

It's like an eye that doesn't blink, staring at the sky in a daze.

Robert shuddered quickly, pulled his gaze back from the sky, and took a closer look at his surroundings.

In the middle of the basin is a circle of large, non-shapedly stones.

It is a perfect circle of imperfect stones. They may be shaped differently from each other, but they fit together perfectly.

Let Robert from here, there is no way to see clearly what is inside the stone circle.

In this barren area, only the circle of stones stands out.

"I'm feeling very sad here," Lena whispered.

"I'm not scared - it doesn't look evil, it's just a lot of regrets!

If the gods do come here, then they must be here to weep over this troubled world. ”

Evan turned and looked at Lena wisely, as if he was about to speak, but before he could speak, Wade shouted. "Here, Robert!"

"I see it!" the half-elf immediately pulled his legs and ran.

On the other side of the basin, they could barely see two figures: one taller, the other shorter, struggling.

"That's Belclery!" Wade screamed. The two figures could be seen clearly under the sharp gaze of the ground. "He doesn't know what he's doing with Hubble! Hurry up, Robert!"

Robert cursed his carelessness, did not send more people to look at Belclery, did not force him to tell the secret in his heart.

He ran as fast as he could on the rough ground, his heart filled with fear. He could hear others calling his name, but he didn't pay any attention.

He just looked intently at the two people in front of him, and now he could see clearly.

At that moment, he could see Hubble fall to the ground. Belclery looked down at him.

"Hubble!" Robert screamed.

His heart was beating violently, and Venus was surging in front of him.

His chest ached, and the air didn't seem thin enough for him to breathe. He was still running faster and faster, and now he could see Berclerc turn to look at him.

As if he was about to say something, Robert could see the man's lips squirming.

But the blood of the half-elf rushed straight to his head, so that he could not hear what he was saying.

Hubble lay at Berclery's feet, the dwarf's eyes closed, his head hanging limply to the side, his face dead.

"What did you do?" Robert screeched at Belcleral. "You killed him!" Sadness, guilt, despair, and anger burst inside him like an old mage's fireball.

His head ached, as if it were about to be split. He couldn't see anything, and a burst of red mist blocked his vision.

I don't know how, his sword was already in his hand. He could clearly feel the cold hilt.

Becleral's face kept drifting in the red mist in front of him.

The man's eyes were filled not with fear, but with deep regret.

Then Robert saw his eyes, which were wide open with pain, and he realized that he had stabbed his long sword into Berclery's unresisted body, and the blade had stabbed so deeply.

Robert could feel it clearly, slicing through the muscles and bones, and even piercing the stone on which the Eternal Man was leaning.

Warm blood, splattered on Robert's hands. A terrifying scream came out of his head, and a heavy object fell towards him, nearly knocking him down.

Berclery's body pressed against him, but Robert didn't pay attention.

He frantically tried to draw his weapon, stabbing incessantly. He felt a pair of strong hands grasp him.

But the crazy half-elves struggled to break free of them. Finally, he drew his sword and watched as Belclery fell to the ground, blood pouring out from the wound beneath his glowing emerald.

He could hear a low roar behind him, the sound of a woman sobbing, and a high-pitched cry.

Robert turned around angrily, wanting to see the people who had just tried to stop him.

He saw a strong man with a sad face, a red-haired girl with tears on her cheeks.

He didn't know either of them at all. Then a very old man appeared in front of him.

His expression was calm, and his eyes were full of regret.

The old man smiled softly at Robert, reached out and grabbed the half-elf's shoulder.

His touch was like ice water that a person with a fever needs. Robert felt his sanity come back to his body. The blood-red in front of his eyes vanished.

He dropped his bloodstained sword from his blood-stained hand and fell to Evan's feet sobbing.

The old man bent down and gently soothed him.

"Be strong, Robert," he said softly.

"You have to say goodbye to an old friend who has had a long journey. ”

Robert suddenly remembered. "Hubble!" he said in surprise.

Evan nodded sadly, looking at Becleral's corpse. "Come on, there's nothing you can do here. ”

Robert forced himself to swallow his tears and stood up with the gun.

He pushed the mage away and staggered over to where Hubble had fallen, seeing his head resting on Wade's lap.

When the dwarf saw the half-elf approaching, he smiled. Robert knelt next to his oldest friend and held Hubble's wrinkled hand tightly.

"I almost let him escape," Hubble patted his chest with his other hand.

"Belclery almost slipped through that little hole on the other side, and my heart exploded at that moment.

He- he heard me screaming, I guess so, because by the time I regained consciousness he was already lying on the ground with me in his arms. ”

"Then he didn't—he didn't—hurt you......" Tanknice could barely speak.

Hubble snorted reluctantly. "Hurt me!Robert, he can't even hurt a mouse. He was as gentle as Lena. ”

The dwarf smiled at the girl who was also kneeling beside him. "You're going to take care of that big stupid cow in Calamon, do you hear?" he said to her.

"You see he just came over. ”

"I will, Hubble. Lena sobbed.

"At least you don't have a chance to drown me again," the dwarf grunted, shifting his gaze to Calamon's.

"If you see Lena, gently take her away.

"No, Hubble, you can't leave me alone and go on an adventure!" Wade cried. "You're going to get in a lot of trouble, you know you will!"

"It's going to be the peace I've had for the first time since we met," the dwarf said mutteredly.

"I'm going to give you the helmet—the one with the lion's mane on it. ”

He glared at Robert sternly, then turned back to look at the sobbing Kander. He sighed and patted Wade's hand.

"Good, good, little one, don't be too sad.

I've had a great time in my life, and I'm surrounded by trusted friends.

I've seen many evil things, but I've also seen many more beautiful things.

Now there is hope for this world. I don't want to leave you either," he quickly turned his blurred gaze to Robert.

"Especially when you need me. But I have taught you everything I know, boy.

Everything will be fine. I know...... No problem, his voice slowly faded weaker, and as he closed his eyes, the sound of his breathing became heavy.

Robert gripped his hand tightly, and Tyro Kochy buried his face in Hubble's shoulder.

Then Evan appeared, standing at Hubble's feet. The dwarf opened his eyes.

Maybe there was no hope in the first place, but they still hold on to it until now, is it for justice?

No, they're not that great. It's just a group of ordinary people with high military strength.

Is it for friendship? Not entirely, because friendship is a lot of the way you don't make the right decisions.

I am afraid that the most is the belief in their hearts, or the original intention of them to enter this dispute.

As long as the original intention remains the same, then the hope will always be there.
