In the middle of the endless darkness, a small bonfire was snorting and burning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The aroma of grilled fish slowly covers the strange smell that permeates the entire underground cave.

If it weren't for the fact that Donner had experimented with gunpowder many times, he would not have dared to ignite a fireball in such a smell. As he expected, there were no deflagrations or anything out of the ordinary.

He was sitting at the campfire with mossy rocks under his feet and an underground river beside him that was unknown how wide - even by the light of the campfire, he could not see the rocks or walls on the other side of the river.

For the past two days (Donner himself doesn't know how long) he'd been dragging the bubbles that enveloped Lisa down the river in the vast underground water system.

Fortunately, although Lisa is not a powerful fire mage, she can still maintain a faint small fireball, so that Donner can follow the glimmer of light in the bubbles behind him, and roughly see the surrounding scene, so that he will not be groping in pure darkness all the time.

A few hours earlier, they had squeezed through an extremely narrow passage and had been washed down the waterfall by the rapids.

Luckily, the waterfall between the underground rocks wasn't too high, and with Donner's abilities, it was enough to slow down before he fell into the water. Luckily, beneath the waterfall is this underground river with fish.

After two days of recovery, Lisa's body was mostly recovered, and she was sitting across from Donner, anxiously waiting for him to roast the big fish covered in blue and green stripes.

It has been five days since they left the Great Wall to guard them, and they have not eaten anything during this time, so you can imagine how hungry they are. If it weren't for the fact that Donner discovered that this stout aquatic weed could be ignited, they probably wouldn't mind eating the fish raw.

Not long after, the fish was roughly cooked, and Donner tore half of it to Lisa, and said softly, "I hope it doesn't ...... poison" and then took a big bite himself. To his surprise, this half-cooked grilled fish turned out to be tender and extremely delicious, with very few bones.

"It would be nice to have some mustard. He thought greedily.

Lisa couldn't wait to see if he would be poisoned, so she gobbled it up directly, and it looked quite indecent to eat. After most of the fish was eaten, she said vaguely: "I know where this river is going......

"Really?" said Donner, casually confronting, and he had a guess about it.

"I never thought about why Cold Spring Lake is called Cold Spring Lake. Lisa licked her fingers.

"Hopefully your guess is correct. Donner said. It seems that Lisa and his guess are the same.

"Since there are fish here, there is a high possibility that it will be connected to the water system outside, and besides, the water must flow forward, and there must be an outlet. Lisa's eyes never took her eyes off the fish in her hand as she said this, even though the skin had been charred by Donner.

"I'm worried that its exit will be further than we think......" Donner smiled wryly.

"You mean......" Lisa looked up sharply, "Cliff of Desperation?"

Donner glanced at her, but didn't answer.

“...... Has anyone ever told you that you were too pessimistic?" laughed Lisa.

"I think it's important to plan for the worst so that you don't get scrambling when things come to an end. Donner said.

"Have you always been such a pessimist, or did you come to the Magic Continent to become like this?" Lisa looked at with interest.

Donner smiled, a little smiling, "Probably since my father's death, it's been like this. However, I do not agree with you, I am not pessimistic, but I have been taught by fate that I have to do so. ”

"But Cross told me that you were in surprising luck. Lisa shrugged, probably thinking Donner was exaggerating.

"You don't think it's all good luck like he did, do you?" asked Donner.

"Hmm...... It seems that you have had a hard time in the past two years......" Lisa laughed.

"It's like these days, it's no difference. Donner tore off the entire blackened skin and tossed it aside.

Lisa's hand holding the fish meat drooped, bowed her head and was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said, "You know, if you die, the world will become more or less boring, even if it is just because of this, I will keep that promise." ”

Donner was stunned, and it suddenly occurred to him that he instinctively wanted to save Lisa, perhaps for the same reason. However, he will not say this feeling, otherwise it will be very sensitive.

"I hope I won't pay for believing in you, in that case, I'm afraid I'm going to become a pessimist. He said.

Lisa smiled and shook her head, "Tell me about your past...... Before you knew you were the reincarnation of the God of Light. When the words such as the reincarnation of the God of Light were spoken, her tone was teased.

"I suspect you're trying to piece together my true identity......"

Donner stopped at this, and just as Lisa smiled, thinking that he was going to be silent, he suddenly said leisurely, "I have a younger brother who I haven't seen in years, and I don't know what he is like now......"

When Donner spoke of his brother, he smiled sadly, then slowly lowered his head.

He remembered his time on the island of Lante, of Richard as a child, of his anger and anxiety when he heard his brother called mute, of the tears on his face when he knew he could go to the knight's academy, of the promise he had made to him...... I remembered my father's appearance before he died.

Sudden memories filled Donner's thoughts. No matter how he came to be in this world, at the end of the day, in Donner's heart, he was always the son of Tom the blacksmith on the island of Rand.

Everywhere he went, as soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to still see the blazing stove, the slightly bent back of his father and the sparks splashing when the hammer in his hand fell, and Richard wielding his wooden sword in the sunlight at the door of the blacksmith's shop. It was the scene he knew most in a whole decade. It was the word home, the only projection in his mind.

If there really is a god in this world, he is willing to plead before God with all his might, begging for everything he has now in exchange for returning to six years ago, returning to Lante Island, and living his life peacefully on the island with his father and brother.

But my father was dead, and he died so painfully, so innocently and desperately.

...... Why, why did he stab the cold sword at such an old man who had no quarrel with the world?

Now, Donner looked around with his sword in his hand, full of anger, and he didn't know where Caesar was going.

Right in front of Lisa, Donner kept his head down.

Lisa could feel that the man in front of her was on the verge of collapsing. She wondered what kind of experience would it be that would make this man, who usually seemed so calm, so sad when he recalled the past?
