On the roof of the Black Spotted Horse Tavern, the wizard was lying a little depressed on the beam, a feeling of exhaustion that wanted to sigh at the moon.

After a not-so-heated but lengthy discussion, he reluctantly persuaded Vika to agree to the decision to temporarily relocate to another plane, and he also inquired about the path to Greyhawk under Lyra's strange gaze.

Although the plane teleportation is difficult for the current Penny, there is an inescapable fact that he has never left Torrell in his life, and he still has some awe of this real crossing.

He was like that, not to mention the others, and after the discussion, Penny tasted the fear in their hearts in an oppressive atmosphere.

It's a real uproot, and it doesn't necessarily come back.

He saw the always tough proprietress talking to Mr. Edmont about it, and the father and daughter hugged their heads and cried, and even Claude Edmund, who had never been very fond of wizards, looked like a mournful woman.

"Am I being selfish, Am I being selfish?" he asked the little girl lying next to him, who was on the wizard's arm and humming an out-of-tune tune with a happy expression.

Hearing the wizard's inquiry, she opened her eyes and blinked in confusion: "How can an adult think that he is selfish? If Chief Sazastan succeeds, all the creatures left in this world will perish, and even if they leave their homeland, it is good that a few can survive...... The adults are doing the right thing. A few ladies were just reluctant to be emotional, but didn't they agree in the end?"

Right?

Penny shook his head, unable to agree with Sazastan's ambitions, but admitting that his plans for the migration had actually been driven by fear.

He was not sure to fight against Sazastan, and his next action was to walk a tightrope between the three huge forces of the Shadow, the remnants of the Ancient Empire, and the Destroyer, the situation of the Shadow City was unknown, and the remnants of the Ancient Empire could not be fully trusted - Iris Kendain was a very unreliable guy, and the power of the Destroyer was even more powerful, and the time was extremely short...... Although Penny now has the ability to cast legendary arcane, he has not studied the knowledge of legendary arcane deeply, and the characters who have appeared in this drama are led by ancient evil objects and powerful gods, and the rest of the actors on stage are at least thousand-year-level legendary ** masters, and those with less qualifications such as Sazastan are rare wizards...... Dancing with these characters, the script of fate forces Penny to be the first protagonist.

In such a situation, it is really difficult for the wizard to convince himself to abandon the fear in his heart, all the disasters he has faced in the past can only be regarded as a child's play compared to the current time, and if he is not careful, he, the little person who serves as the 'savior', will become a ridiculous joke under the overwhelming force of irresistible.

This weight made Penny feel heavy, and even lost his previous calm.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he also knew that the future of Toriel's tens of millions of living beings was connected to him in some way, and paradoxically, he still couldn't convince himself to do his best for them.

Leaving a way out is also out of a kind of cowardice.

Fear Penny was willing to admit that this emotion existed in his heart, and his heart was heavier because of it.

He sighed, opened any door, and led Nephes back to the room, only to see Fina standing at the window, looking up at the night sky like a stone statue.

The wizard looked at her and said unsurprisingly, "Awake?"

Fina turned around, her eyes were darker than her flushed face, and her tone was a little depressed: "If I don't wake up again, are you going to send me to another world?"

"We can go to the Starry Curtain now and convince the Danlington family to leave with us. Penny said.

Fina pursed her lips and shook her head, falling silent.

"It's always good to be obedient and to be able to live. The wizard walked to the window and touched her hair.

"Not the problem. Fina raised her head: "Do you know how big my family is? My eldest sister and eldest brother are already married, they have always treated me very well, and my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, their family, do you know how many people? Not to mention the people of Star City-almost every one of them is an old friend of Dan Linton, who has worked diligently for Dan Linton for hundreds of years, and almost every person in my family knows me, can you take me alone, can you take them all away? This is impossible, this is impossible......

She wiped her eyes and shed tears: "You are too selfish, I can't leave with you, I want to stay in the star curtain with my parents, whether this world exists or is destroyed, I know you have good intentions, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

She wrapped her arms around the wizard's neck and kissed his face and forehead incessantly.

Penny was silent, and he found himself unable to find a reason to convince her for a moment.

It was clear that in her mind, she loved the world more than anything else.

At the same time, Penny was even more ashamed to experience his own selfishness, for Fina's words could not have been clearer in pointing out the fact that he could not have taken all the people he had good relations with out of Ferron.

Like the Wizards of the Coast and the people who worked for him on the Dragon's Shore...... Morally, as the boss, Penny is responsible for their safety.

A strong sense of shame prompted him to clench his fists.

Squeak~~ "Everything has been packed up, dear. Vica appeared in the doorway, looking very tired.

"Okay, let's go. Penny put Fina, who had become a little blurred again, on the bed, turned his head and walked out of the room, and when he reached the third-floor room, he saw a pair of eyes staring at him, and began to prepare spells with a heavy heart, and his movements were extremely slow.

"Hey, how are you grinding? Lanny shouted dissatisfied.

"Honey, you...... Something on your mind?" asked Vika in the wizard's ear.

"No ......" Penny shook his head, no matter what, he now has the ability to keep some people out of danger first, be selfish and selfish.

With this in mind, he drew the circle and reluctantly smiled at Vika: "Don't worry, there will definitely be a day when you will come back." ”

"No...... Honey, you have something else in mind. Vika pressed the mage's arm to draw the circle, "I heard what you said to Miss Danlington just now. ”

Penny's heart jumped and he shut his mouth.

"What did they say?" Lannie frowned.

"My dear, I can feel some of the thoughts in your mind right now......" Vika stared into the wizard's eyes, her gaze was keen, as if carved deep into the wizard's heart, and her tone was unprecedentedly solemn: "Tell me, are you no longer guaranteed that you will come to see us alive when the matter is over—success or failure?"

Nephes opened his mouth slightly, his face shocked.

Savoring the meaning of Vika's words, the brows of Lannie and Hiccol, who had been silent, were deeply furrowed.

Penny frowned, Vika's words hit the hesitation in his heart, and after listening to Fina's cry, he no longer had the firm idea of 'run away if he failed'.

Penny was skeptical that he would be able to escape decisively even if he had not been able to prevent Sazastan from destroying the world despite all his might.

At least the wizard was sure that if something came out of the situation, such as sacrificing himself to prevent the catastrophe, even if it was just the slightest possibility, then there was a good chance that he would do it—driven by some kind of awakened sense of duty.

As a good thinker, Penny easily dissected his own mental activity, and the conclusion he got made him feel a little ridiculous - I don't know if this is really the ideological consciousness of a savior hero, but it also makes it impossible for him to answer Vika's question head-on.

His silence had already given an answer to the girls who were waiting for an answer, and the corners of Lanny's mouth fell on the spot: "Cut! Mother-in-law and mother are not simple at all, I knew you thought so, why bother so much." ”

She stretched out her foot and wiped the runes Penny had drawn with the soles of her shoes.

Nephes stood in front of the wizard, "My lord, we're not leaving. ”

Penny looked up and looked at the four serious faces in front of him in disbelief.

"We're going to stay with you until you make your final choice. Vika said in a very solemn tone with a serious expression.

The corners of the wizard's eyes twitched violently.

"My dear, perhaps it seems to you that our choice is not rational. Vika whispered, "We love the world and we love you, so we hope to be able to face the demise with you and it." ”

"It only takes a dozen seconds to activate a plane teleportation spell...... Lannie said in an indifferent tone, "When you figure it out, whether it is a triumphant return as a savior, or an escape with a tail between legs, we are willing to live with you, if you die...... Let's die. ”

She gently patted Saloras, who was sleeping in her arms, and her eyebrows were full of excitement.

"Penny, you have to work hard. Hiccol looked at Penny expectantly.

...... Half of the move ended in a warm atmosphere with some sadness.

The wizard lay on the large bed, staring at the blank ceiling with his eyes open, Nephes and Hickel lying to his left and right, and Ole's small face exposed outside the covers.

Their attitude somewhat cut off Penny's hesitation, but it calmed him down like never before.

He finally really felt the momentum brought by this pressure, and in his position, there was no way out.

Penny sighed and picked up Ole.

Staring at his daughter's sleeping face, a tingling pain suddenly pierced his heart.

He suddenly realized that he had forgotten something very important...... "Yafan ......"

The muscles in his face stiffened, making him look pale.
