Huttonmar ushered in an ordinary day as usual, Kelly woke up quite early, and the eastern sky was just showing a fish's white belly. Kelly opened the door of her shop, and a breath of fresh morning air came to her face. She enjoys the quiet life in Huttonmar, and although from time to time someone with a broken weapon comes to her door to ask for an explanation, a "shameless" guy like her always finds a way to deal with those adventurers.

Kelly is confident that Carl will come back when he sees her letter, there is no doubt about it. She has a lot of confidence in this, and perhaps many people think that her character may fall at some point. But unfortunately, Kelly was always able to get through the difficulties smoothly.

Huttonmar has been on the alert, and one can guess the current situation from what the town hall has done. The fact that an agreement was reached with the Bantu had long been spread among the people, and although there was no avoidance of abuse and discrimination against the barbaric Bantu, in reality they did not want to see a break with the Bantu. Although Kelly has been hiding in her shop and ignoring everything, she has been keeping an eye on the situation.

If Huttonmar can't avoid another fight, then Kelly will choose a new place of peace. She, like Carl, is not interested in the power strife on the continent of Arad. If there is no peace in this place, then everything she has been doing is meaningless. As Kelly had always thought, although she missed her native Celestial Realm, she didn't want to return to the quagmire of war again.

Although the situation on the front lines of the principality was not optimistic, the Bantu helped to a certain extent. They attacked the supply lines of the Delos Empire's army, as well as weapons storage warehouses, causing unrest and ensuring their own survival. The threat of the Ice Dragons has not disappeared, and it is impossible for the Duchy to send troops to help the Bantu in dealing with the Ice Dragons due to the shortage of manpower. So if you want to fight off the ice dragon, you have to rely on the Bantu and the adventurers. But at least for now, the people of Ston Snow have little confidence in repelling the ice dragons.

And Kelly has also worried about the Dark City side, which has not been heard, and it would be bad if Carl couldn't get out smoothly. She undoubtedly needed the help of Carl and Freya, who were also from the Celestial Realm, now, and she was certainly waiting for Freya. But what she didn't know was that Freya had left the northern snowy region after Maffeo and the others had eliminated Riku.

With so many thoughts in mind, Kelly pulled down her closed sign and walked to the Moonlight Tavern not far away. Although she doesn't go there often, she still has a certain friendship with Sothia, the proprietress of the Moonlight Tavern. And let's be honest, Kelly isn't much of a drinker. This was the case in the Ardennes Heights garrison, where Captain Birmoz once joked that Callert only needed to send a little dark beer to the heights to make the garrison lose a strong fighting force.

Sosia wouldn't be surprised by anyone's arrival, and although the man in the gray trench coat had come here again for a drink at this time, Sosiya wasn't at all worried about what disturbance he would cause. Although there are many people who like to make trouble in the tavern, so far, no one has taken the initiative to provoke the silent and preoccupied man in the gray trench coat.

"Hello, Sothia. Kelly came to the bar and greeted Sothia.

"You don't come often, Kelly. Sothia spoke.

"I'm kind of craving elf wine. Kelly laughed.

"Wait a minute. Sothia turned and began to prepare.

Kelly glanced at the gray-clad man who was seated two seats, most of his face was covered by a hood, but his beard, which was full of vicissitudes of life, could be seen. He was just drinking in silence, oblivious to everything, and he didn't even notice that other guests were here. Kelly felt weird, but she wasn't a nosy person.

"Have you been busy with anything lately?" asked Sothea, bringing the prepared elf wine to Kelly.

"It's a bit of a bother. Kelly took a sip of her wine.

"Do you want to tell me about it? Of course, I won't force you. ”

"There are some things I'm not going to say, I don't want you to get into some trouble. Kelly was accompanied by a smiling face.

"Really?" said Sothia thoughtfully. "Then remember to be safe, although I don't know what the Celestial Realm is like, but the continent of Arad is a place full of dangers. ”

Kelly waved her hand a little pompously, "Oops, Sothea." I've been here for so many years and I'm used to it. As long as it wasn't war, those little things weren't dangerous to me at all. ”

"That's fine. ”

The main reason why Kelly chose to come to the Moonlight Tavern at this time is because it is only at this time that the Moonlight Tavern is a little quieter. She needed a quiet environment to think about what Adrian had discovered, and although there was not much information yet, she thought that since Adrian had found out about the guys using firearms, she couldn't sit idly by. Regardless of whether the other party is Kahlert or not, their actions are threatening.

Sothia suddenly seemed to remember something, so she opened her mouth to Kelly. "By the way, Selia came to me some time ago. She said Lorianne from the West Coast had written her a letter that upset her. You know, she's good friends with Lorianne, so she's worried about each other's situation. ”

"Oh?" Kelly replied with interest. "What's on the letter?"

"Small towns near the West Coast are always invaded by pirates, and I don't know if it's because of the Academy of Magic, so the pirates don't dare to target the West Coast for the time being. But Loriam was upset, as the pirates were said to have brutally murdered most of the town's population after plundering their possessions. Sothia said.

This was definitely the information Kelly wanted, she leaned her face forward and asked seriously. "Anything else?"

Sothia thought for a moment, "By the way, Loriam also mentioned in the letter that the pirates use some strange weapons, which are similar to the guns you use. ”

"Pirates, guns ......," Kelly mused, trying to find some common ground.

"What's wrong?" asked Sothia.

"I guess it's not a coincidence, don't worry, Celia and Lorianne will be fine, I assure you. Kelly drank the elf wine from her glass, jumped off the chair at the bar, and strode to the tavern door. Sothia didn't even have time to ask Kelly what she thought, although she was only sharing some information with Kelly, but she didn't expect that Lorien's letter to Celia could make Kelly so serious. With a keen instinct, she immediately realized that what Kelly was upset about was most likely related to the contents of the letter. "It's getting more interesting now, don't you think?" she said, turning her gaze to the man in gray.

"Not interested. The man in gray replied in a low voice. "Another drink to the bar. ”

"You're still the same. ”
