"...Ms. Lorna."
Some time later, the corner of the safe haven was also shrouded in the dark sky brought by the violent storm. A man named Duan Qing finally found the man wearing a cloak and hood who usually showed a mysterious appearance.
The woman stopped her search at the edge of the broken bridge where she was sitting: "Finally we found you, we——"
"Didn't I tell you before that I have nothing to say to you?"
The legs covered by the cloak disappeared below the level of the broken bridge. The woman named Lorna looked at the rough sea ahead without looking back: "I will not help you complete any important tasks. If you want to chat,
I don’t have the mood or time either.”
"But you don't look like you are busy now, hahahaha." He scratched the back of his head and let out a dry laugh. Duan Qing, who was wearing a gray magic robe, finally put away his original intention to complain: "But you
You did a lot of work against Distoa before, right? You even almost died trying to protect us, even if it was just to thank you——"
"That is the responsibility and obligation that I should have fulfilled." As if she had prepared such words and answers early, Luo Na's voice sounded immediately after Duan Qing's unfinished words: "
As the spokesperson of fate, I cannot stand and watch the guy who calls himself the Lord of the Void do whatever he wants in front of me."
"It's just a coincidence that I stand on the same front with you, nothing more." Her face was still hidden in the posture of looking forward to the sea, and the mysterious woman's voice became deeper: "Now that the matter has passed, I have nothing more.
That’s easy to talk about.”
"Do you really think so? Everything that Molnar did should be suspicious no matter how you look at it." Duan Qing looked at the other person's back with a strange look on his face: "Don't you have any suspicion?"
"Of course - no." After prolonging her voice, Lorna's tone became indifferent: "In fact, I was seriously injured that day and fell into a coma before the final battle.
I have never seen anything that you claim Mr. Molnar has done."
"Even so, you should have sensed something abnormal." Duan Qing stretched out his hand in disbelief: "We have done so much around the harbor and even launched
The pirates helped us work together, you——"
"What do you have to do with me?"
As if to emphasize this matter, Luo Na's voice when she said these words suddenly became much louder the next moment. Ruoyouruowu's pressure and momentum also shook back Duan Qing's hand that was about to reach out. In the mysterious
The storm in front of the woman once again set off layers of waves: "In the end, I am just a passenger who accidentally boarded your train because I wanted revenge, and my relationship with you is not that close at all.
Why do you insist on pestering me so persistently?"
"It doesn't matter at all."
The atmosphere gradually fell into silence as the oppressive momentum exploded to the horizon. After a while, it was interrupted by Duan Qing, who still had not left the place: "Regardless of everything that happened in Fenghua Town, even freedom
What happened between you and us in the city, the grudges between us are enough."
"Judging from your attitude towards us during this period of time, this grudge has had a great impact on you and us." When he said this, he looked at the other party's back that became more and more stiff: "But even in this trip
A lot of things happened during the journey to the horizon. If we think back carefully, Ms. Lorna has always been helping us intentionally or unintentionally."
"Can't this be called a kind of fate?"
He calmed down and extended his forward hands to the left and right sides: "He has always been unsympathetic to us, but in fact he has always been concerned about our safety... Ah, is Ms. Lorna the legendary one?
proud--"
Boom!
The originally nihilistic momentum suddenly turned into a substantial attack, flying away Duan Qing and the remaining bricks and tiles that fell on the broken bridge. Watching the embarrassed figure hit the ground heavily, Lorna then followed
He also put away his aggressive look and sat back on the edge of the broken bridge: "Sure enough, you are the one I hate most now...get out of my way!"
"No, don't be so heartless." Duan Qing climbed up from the ground covered in scars and wiped his somewhat embarrassed forehead: "After all, everyone is considered a passenger trapped here now. In order to leave this place
, we have to work together to find some solutions.”
"It doesn't matter if you can't find it." She changed back to sitting alone by the broken bridge, and the voice belonging to Lorna then changed to the low and plain tone at the beginning: "Even if I stay here for the rest of my life, it should be okay for me.
It’s not a bad thing.”
"Such negative thoughts? It's not like you have emerged from grief." After staring at the mysterious woman's back for a while, Duan Qing slowly walked behind her again: "I thought I would appear alone in this place.
The City of Freedom is the result of you walking out of Fenghua Town after getting rid of the loneliness, and you even had the mood to attend the auction, but you didn't expect - okay."
"If you are not willing to inherit old Norman's will and live a good life, then just let us inherit it." Shi Shiran patted the dust on his gray magic robe, and Duan Qing's voice was unhurried.
Slowly appearing in this dark storm: "We will find a way to get out of here successfully, we will."
"...You seem to be very familiar with Norman's affairs." Instead of being silent as Duan Qing imagined, Lorna's voice gradually sounded as the gray-robed magician was about to leave: "You have also been
Are you a member of Fenghua Town?"
"Of course not, I was born in Carlo Village in the Santerius Province of the Frey Empire." He reported his origins without hesitation, and Duan Qing stopped for a moment: "But to be honest,
, I know quite a bit about you and Norman’s affairs, and it’s not necessarily true that I’ve even experienced them personally.”
"..."
Still sitting there in a silent posture, the woman named Luo Na just sat quietly with her back to Duan Qing: "I see, that's it."
"What do you think about the soul?"
The strong wind blowing spread the unique breath of the sea around the two people, and then passed by Duan Qing's ears with Lorna's swirling words: "I heard Molnar say that your soul seems to be integrated with this world.
For the sake of oneness?”
"You still heard it." Duan Qing curled his lips secretly, and then used a dry smile to cover up the embarrassment on his face: "It doesn't matter, it's just that my existence seems more complicated in Molnar's eyes.
In particular, there are no other effects."
"Is this really the case?" The back figure that had been looking forward shifted slightly, and the mysterious woman's face shrouded in a hood seemed to be revealed as Duan Qing's words appeared: "
But if I understand correctly, that should be the main reason why your team of adventurers is controlled by him, right?"
"Although the starting point of the question may be different, you are right to understand it this way." Duan Qing scratched his hair: "I personally do not reject this point, but I think it is good. After all, the same soul essence has
It will help deepen the relationship of trust between us. As long as we work harder to prove our worth, maybe our relationship with Molnar can be fundamentally improved."
"But what you just said was not 'help Molnar complete the mission', but 'find a way to get out of here'." She said this sentence to the point, and Lorna's eyes revealed under the hood were also at this time.
It became clearer: "That means your goal is still not to build the bridge, but to find a way to escape, right?"
"How is that possible? You misunderstood." Pointing to the direction of the tower not far away, the smile on Duan Qing's face became more embarrassing: "Everything we have done is to rebuild this bridge.
The blueprints and related magical structures have been surveyed, and the furnace materials that need to be exchanged are also in steady progress with the development of sea hunting, and——"
"There is also the matter of teleporting the magic circle."
After speaking the next words on behalf of the other party, the corners of Lorna's mouth exposed under the hood also tilted up a little with the appearance of some inexplicable smile: "In order to solve the manpower problem and other construction problems, you need to get through this place.
The magic circle between the Free Continent and the Free Continent, that’s why you found it on my head, wasn’t it?”
"Yes, yes." Duan Qing replied hesitantly, and then put on a smile: "Ms. Luo Na really has a sharp eye, and no idea or plan can be hidden from your eyes -"
"So if I have a way to open up the teleportation magic circle between here and the Free Continent, why do you continue to stay here?" There was no joy at Duan Qing's compliment, and Luo Na's voice remained calm and indifferent.
: "Can't you just fly away and get out of Molnar's control?"
"How, how is it possible? What are these words?" Duan Qing was shocked for a moment by the rhetoric that appeared in front of him. He hurriedly raised his hands to deny it and said: "This is not a way to solve the problem at all, let alone what the success rate is.
Even if you really manage to escape, the consequences and sequelae are unimaginable..."
"But this is where you adventurers are most powerful."
Shaking her head and saying these words, Lorna's expression also converged as she turned to the sea in front of her: "As long as there are no restraints, you can do whatever you want in this world, including killing.
Okay, whether you betray your promise or not, you can do it easily as long as it is in line with your interests and values."
"Compared to other residents in the free world, your level of chaos is obviously much higher than others." As if she had come to her own conclusion, her voice began to get lower and lower: "We are treated like this.
,treat me even more..."
"Well, although, although I can't hear what you are saying, you must have had a huge misunderstanding of us -"
"I know you want to say something grand like 'adventurers are all different' again."
Raising her voice again, Lorna interrupted Duan Qing's explanation by raising her head: "As for the conclusion that adventurers are homogeneous, I don't want to cite any more examples, even if we are facing the common problems we have now.
, I still need to ask you this question first."
"Are you really trustworthy?"
As if she was coercing something, the question raised in her raised head seemed to hit Duan Qing's heart directly: "Are you really worthy of our trust? How many things are you hiding from us?"
"Not just me, everyone has secrets hidden in their hearts to some extent." Duan Qing's expression seemed to be infected by the emotions coming from the other party at this time: "But I always
I believe that what everyone conceals is a manifestation of goodwill and a choice that has to be made to make things better."
"You still don't mean what you say." She let out a heavy snort, and then Lorna, who was sitting in front, waved her hand slightly: "Can I take this sentence as a warning?"
"No, this is a promise." Duan Qing stretched out his hand to caress his chest, and bent down with the etiquette of a magician: "For example - we promise that for some reason, even if the magic portal is really opened,
We will not abuse it, let alone use it to evade our responsibilities and put the bridge repair work here."
"Mernar just listened to such nonsense."
Sighing helplessly, Lorna's voice slowly sounded after another period of silence: "I do have a way to build the portal, using the method I know."
"Really?" Duan Qing hurriedly raised his head and rubbed his hands with joy: "I know that as the weaver of destiny, you must have some method that others don't know -"
"Don't be too quick to be happy, because the way I know may be different from what you imagine."
Raising her hand to stop Duan Qing's blurted words, Lorna's voice then became deeper along with the sea breeze blowing around: "As you said, I am a destiny weaver, and the power we use is also the same as yours."
Magicians are different, they use more methods to see through the void."
"This method requires the use of the third space, which is the space that we, the Destiny Weavers, often come in and out of." As she said this, she pointed in front of her, which was illuminated by the lightning that was constantly falling in the violent storm.
In the dark sky: "Although there have been precedents, I don't know if this kind of door is suitable for ordinary people to enter and exit freely."
"Whether you can successfully travel through that kind of place can only depend on your own luck."
