It's a bit of a pity, but it's not surprising that there's nothing in the cave that the Society is trying to find. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"So, this instruction really makes me feel very ...... 'unreliable', I never cared about your attitude before, but my heart is different, so what do you think, Lance?"
Ever since he had been dominated by Lance once, and had experienced the strange feeling of being in a painting, Troy's attitude towards Lance had become more and more strange, and sometimes even he did not know what he thought of the man who had given him the possibility to move forward, and carved a path to heaven on his path that was destined to be inactive.
Before that killing, we were two very different beings who had nothing to do with each other.
But, after that, your things became my things, your will influenced my will, and gradually, maybe the two of us will become one.
It's a wonderful and esoteric feeling.
"Ask me? I'm sorry, I don't really want to tell my truth about this kind of thing. ā
Lance's answer may seem ambiguous, but the meaning is actually quite easy to understand. As the person in the team who can best understand the ambitions and aspirations of the association, Lance should be the one who can understand that the mission assigned by the association is all to build a new world free of blood and strife, and to achieve such a great goal.
Only this time, there was this ambiguous task conveyed by Dondal, and even Lance was suspicious.
In Southwell, in addition to a variety of strange magic props, there are still many powerful "weapons" that have been handed down since ancient times, which are praised and pursued by the world.
Among them, the most representative are all kinds of "holy swords" with divine magic, and "shadow gifts" that are mostly ornaments and jewelry, which happen to represent the two major types of good and evil.
Although there does not seem to have been any written record of the Old Calendar before the start of the New Calendar, it is inferred from some poems and rumors of unknown origin that there was a battle between the two sides of the Old Calendar at the end of the Old Calendar.
It was this duel that put an end to the long history of the old calendar. In retrospect, the tone of the New Earth Calendar's blood and strife may have been set long ago.
It was definitely an unusually tragic battle, and the proof of this is that after that, all the splendid civilizations that spawned from the old calendar no longer existed, and we living in the new calendar can only speculate on its former glory from the ruins lying in the ruined forest.
Also as a legacy of the old calendar, the "Holy Sword" and "Shadow Gift", which are of diametrically opposed nature, but both have great powers, and to this day, a considerable number of them have not been discovered by people who thirst for knowledge and power. Among them, the holy sword that may have long since disappeared is often "left behind" in the ancient ruins scattered throughout the continent, and those shadow gifts have a terrifying magic power that bewitches people's hearts, and they are basically all found in underground caves, and once they appear, they will inevitably cause a battle full of intrigue and blood.
The purpose of the association is to create a new world in which domination and killing are not carried out by force, and there is some irony and contradiction in the fact that for this purpose, strong force is necessary.
Maybe this thinking was wrong from the start?
After fighting the white-clothed boy who was too strong to exceed his limits, Lance had already doubted himself more than once.
"I see, that sword, you suspect it's a 'Shadow Gift', so you have doubts about the purpose of the association to get it, right?"
Troy's "intuition" became more and more acute, and as time passed, the boy's ability, knowledge, and way of thinking were approaching Lance at an unimaginable speed, but in addition to that, he still retained some qualities that belonged only to him.
No fear, no submission, honesty and kindness, simplicity and courage.
"Well, however, it's hard to tell what that sword is. I've never heard of the Holy Sword being stored in underground caverns, and similarly, I've never heard of the Shadow Bounty being in the form of a sword, and the dagger is the limit of the concept of 'decoration'. ā
"When you find it, everything will be easy to understand. ā
The teenager eventually came to such a conclusion. Tired of the coldness and dampness of the underground, and of course the darkness, Troy quickened his pace and quickly walked back to the entrance of the cave.
ā...... I always feel a little glaring. ā
Walking up the steep slope, finally no longer needing to rely on the lighting effects of light elemental magic to guide the way, the young man who had returned to the embrace of the sun suddenly said such a sentence.

The quest for the Plains came to an end thanks to Troy's efforts, and sure enough, finding a target in the first of the twelve regions was a blessing that could not be imagined.
And the boy really didn't have a chance to be lucky.
If Brother Ralph had been there, he might have found it, but this was not the first time that this thought had come to the boy's mind. In fact, perhaps in exchange for the ability to think, the luck of the strong men in the northwest is indeed much higher than that of ordinary people.
"Well, everyone, even if you're gone...... I was the only one left, and Troy was still able to work according to the task of the association. Isn't that amazing?"
The first attempt to use a third-person name as a self-title, the slightly emotionally volatile teenager seems to be stuck in a less pleasant memory.
"I think it's better for you to count me as a person even though I'm only conscious, so that we're two people in action, and we won't feel so lonely, right?"
Hearing was Lance's warm words, although still nagging. Thinking of this, Troy couldn't help but think of something else.

"Stupid Troy, don't talk like we're dead! Ahhh
The last time she visited Vina, who was weak in the hospital bed, she seemed to say something similar, but she was scolded by the sorceress who suddenly became energetic.
"Hey, why are you still getting involved with me again?"
Then, the strong man in the northwest, who looked no different from usual, protested as a matter of course, and the three of them laughed in the end.
It's a lucky thing to be alive and to be able to get together and laugh like this.
