"No...... I'm afraid it's useless for you to go back to the castle. Alan hesitated, but decided to tell the girl the truth.

"It's ...... What do you mean?" The girl was struggling violently, but after hearing Allen's words, the girl stopped all movements as if she was frozen, she didn't doubt the truth of Allen's words, after all, Allen didn't lie to her for a reason, and the familiar smell of Allen made the girl instinctively believe Allen.

"According to our current speculation, the Lost Dark Realm has been controlled by a large number of high-level necromantic creatures, and the high-level examiners are likely to have been killed by the traps set by the necromantic creatures, so your signal stones will not respond, so you can only ask the castle for help, right?" Alan said methodically, although it was unconfirmed, but the situation should be like this, this is an extremely meticulous plan, so that it is quite difficult for them students to even struggle in the trap.

"But the Ember Keep is the last bastion against all undead creatures, right, at least there...... At least there ......" the girl said with the last glimmer of hope, her eyes showing great pain, she looked at Alan with some longing, as if to say to Alan, even if it is a lie, please give me hope.

"No...... This time the actions of the necromantic creatures have a fairly high-level internal response on the human side, it is hard to imagine that they will turn a blind eye to the only contact between the Lost Dark Realm and the Magic Kingdom, where it is very likely that there is more than one high-level powerhouse stationed, and the high-level powerhouses who may help us should be cleared, even if they are lucky enough to get in touch with the Magic Country, they may not be able to immediately send high-level powerhouses to rescue, if it drags on for too long, even if the rescue comes, it will not be able to catch up. Alan hesitated for a moment when he saw the girl's eyes, but then Allen's eyes became firm, escaping can't solve the problem, all they can do is face it.

"Why, what about you? Can you help us? Just rescue the wolf, whatever it costs me. The girl cried out in despair, they actually more or less noticed some abnormalities in the Lost Dark Domain, although most of Allen's words were speculation, but they could also explain the anomaly of the necromancy and the reason for the failure of the signal stone, and more importantly, the girl's inexplicable trust in the smell of Alan's body, all of which added up, so that the girl fell into despair all of a sudden, and she grabbed Allen's hand as if she wanted to grasp the last straw.

「...... As you can see, our team has just been through a tough battle and really doesn't have the energy to help anyone else. Alan sighed and said, although his arm was a little painful from the girl's grasp, he still couldn't bear to slap the girl's hand away. If the team was in a normal state, Alan believed that Roland or others would not mind helping the girl, but the current situation is just the opposite, nearly half of the team is seriously injured, and Rowling is still asleep, which is really not the state of helping others, and the state of Ash Castle is not clear......

"How can this be...... the girl said weakly, slumping on the ground as if she had lost all her strength.

"Master Allen......" Cialis pulled Alan's hand a little reluctantly, but Eren just shook his head at Cialis.

The team can't take any more risks, if it's only Alan and Cialis, or they will choose to help the girl, but since they have joined the team, they must first consider the rest of the team, if everyone is safe now, it's another matter, but according to Allen's guess just now, the Ash Castle is likely to be controlled by the Necromancy, which means that in order to ask for help from the Magic Continent, they are likely to have to experience another battle in the Ash Castle, and in the case of time and manpower are quite tight, Alan can't let himself do whatever he wants。

"......" Roland clenched his fists, and Lilith looked like she wanted to say something, but neither of them said anything in the end.

Richie and Caroline stood aside in a somewhat depressed mood, only Goh He still looked around casually.

They all understood what Allen's considerations were, and because of this, they shouldn't add to Allen's psychological burden when Allen had already made a decision.

"Young Master Talon...... Although Guna can't find help, Guna will definitely go back, and Guna will walk with you to the embrace of Goddess Freya. The girl stopped looking at Alan as if her heart was dead, and just muttered to herself.

"......, what did you just say?" said Allen, suddenly grabbing Guna by the shoulder.

"......" Guna ignored Allen, her eyes still staring straight in one direction.

"Did you mention Talon just now?" Alan didn't mind Guna's coldness, and asked Guna again.

"Do you know the young master of Talon?" asked Guna as if she had finally come back to her senses, looking at Eren with some confusion.

"Talon and I once helped each other in the process of saving the Elven Ancient Tree and Cang, or is there someone else in your community called Talon?" On this magical continent, there is only one race that can transform into animal form at will, and that is the druids, which can also explain why Guna in the form of a giant wolf was so wary of Alan at the beginning, and the druids are quite xenophobic and hostile to creatures that destroy nature, and humans are naturally one of them.

But Alan actually has no friendship with the druids, and he only knows one druid, and he is not sure whether he has participated in the assessment or not, in this case, Alan will naturally not make a move to put the team in crisis, but now that Alan has heard the name of Talon, he naturally can't continue to stay out of the matter.

"No, our druids are all given by the goddess Freya, each one is noble and unique, the young lord of Talon is the son of the patriarch and the wolf son of the druids, there will never be another druid with the same name. Guna seemed to realize a glimmer of opportunity to find a rescue, and quickly explained to Alan.

"Is it......" Alan muttered to himself, walking back and forth a little anxiously, since the matter involves acquaintances, then Alan naturally wants to go and see if he can help, but the current situation of the team ......

"Alan, go ahead, go with Goh and Cialis, we can take care of Richie and Caroline, after all, this is not too far from the castle, Lilith and I can go by ourselves." Roland said with a smile at Alan.

"Go ahead, don't worry about us, we're not that vulnerable. Lilith said with some seriousness, obviously she wanted to help the girl in the first place, but because her arm had not recovered, she had no choice.

"You ......" Alan looked at his companion with some emotion, even if he was seriously injured and in danger, he still wanted to care about his companion's feelings and wanted to help others.

"Thank you, thank you. Guna thanked them desperately, she was smart enough to know how much risk they would put on the team.

「...... No, I'll go alone. Alan pondered for a moment, but finally said firmly.

"We're going to be fine......" Roland said with a frown.

"No, not for that reason. Alan paused for a moment to clear his thoughts before continuing.

"Now our biggest goal should be to confirm the state of the Ember Keep and ask for help from the Magic Continent, which is the most important thing, not only for ourselves, but also for all the students. Allen's tone was extremely firm, to ensure his own back road, so that he could talk about saving others, otherwise even if he saved the claws, there would be no point in not having a back road.

"That at least makes Goh ......," Roland was interrupted by Alan in the middle of his sentence.

"Goh He is the only one who can fight against multiple high-level powerhouses right now, she must follow her to the Ash Keep, and Richie, Caroline, and Hylis also need to take care of you so that Ge He will not be distracted by the injuries in the middle of the battle. Allen analyzed in a clear manner, and everyone was immediately speechless.

"Why ...... that," Guna said with some disappointment, but she also knew that Alan was already taking a great risk if she was willing to help, and she really couldn't ask for more in her position.

"Believe me, Guna, I have a way to deal with those necromantic creatures. Alan said firmly to Guna.

Guna hesitated, but finally sat up, stroking her forehead with one hand and resting the other on her flat lower abdomen, and made a strange salute to Alan.

"You have the smell of Goddess Freya, and when we were in crisis, you appeared, this must be the arrangement of Goddess Freya, I believe you. Guna looked at Alan sincerely and said, and then despite Cialis's dissuasion, she staggered to her feet, and under the druid's recovery ability and Cialis's emergency treatment, although Guna has not yet recovered to be able to fight, at least the blood from the wound has stopped.

"Gehe, they'll ask you. Alan touched Go-hyuk's head and said.

"Hmph, I won't have to say I'll do it too. Gohyuk was obviously a little unhappy with Alan's decision not to take her, but she also knew that the situation was urgent, and it was not the time to be angry.

"Master Allen, we're waiting for you in the Ember Keep. Hylis said to Alan, her petite body trembling a little, as if she was suppressing the urge to go with her.

"I'll be sure to come back safely and take care of Roland and them. Alan gently hugged Cialis and walked over to Mian?? Guna stood beside her.

"Let's go, go rescue the claws. 」
