"Lu Li...yes...I remember this name...the legendary exorcist who destroyed the Silence..."
Will Ken, possessed by the parchment, whispered in memory.
And Lu Li also remembered him: the old days, the Exorcist Association, the investigators, the radio program when the Night Watch was in the Alliance, and the retired legendary agent Will Ken.
"The time of silence is not destroyed."
"But it's become a time of silence, isn't it..."
"Why are you here and like this?" Lu Li asked, not wanting to talk about his past.
"That was a long time ago...both in memory and in time."
Will Ken slowly recounted his experience.
After the only remaining second son Stephen died in the Abyss, Will Ken was invited to participate in the alliance broadcast. When the expeditionary force against the Silent Hour was completely wiped out, before Lu Li embarked on the path of being bewitched by the rope of the gods, Will Ken
·Ken left Alliance Broadcasting and went to the bottomless abyss of the deserted land.
He wanted to avenge his child. Even if he failed, he could still be buried with his son.
The long journey through the desolate land has exhausted all the strength of this old man who once had honor. Without the drama of successful revenge, Will Ken fell into the bottomless abyss as expected.
When Will Ken regained consciousness, it became a roll of parchment, lying in his backpack and soaked in the mud.
The "companion" in the backpack gradually rotted away, and only the parchment he possessed remained intact except for being dirty.
"The long period of being unable to die and move made me gradually lost...am I Will Ken, or am I a parchment that gained the consciousness of an exorcist named Will Ken?"
A sigh ends this story
"The abyss is connected to the swamp?" Lu Li asked.
"I don't know... After entering the bottomless abyss, I heard many whispers in my ears, as if they were surrounding me and hidden in the surrounding rock formations. Finally, I lost my strength and heard Stephen's voice... I don't know that
Is it real?"
"Young and great exorcist, are you here for the cursed title? I will tell you everything I know..."
"We've stayed here too long."
Nunes suddenly interrupted them and glanced outside the low door: "The players from the Bloodline Family have noticed us. Get out of here first."
Nunes picked up the parchment, left the hut with Lu Li, and returned to the second floor of the grocery store.
There was no sound in the dull room, and there were clear boundaries between the four contestants.
Heinz Ellis of the Council of Nobles leaned against the wall, keeping the farthest distance from everyone. The knight Pasha Rivas stood beside Tovani like a guard, and Ida stayed next to the clothes rack closest to the door.
"Where did you take Mr. Lu Li to?" Heinz Ellis didn't like Nunes's behavior of abandoning them.
"Some personal matters."
"Let's continue our previous discussion." Knight Pasha Rivas gave Lu Li a knighthood: "Your Excellency, Lu Li, joins so that the alliance can accept more players."
There is no need to worry about internal strife and rebellion.
"Wait a minute."
Nunes, who initiated the alliance, stopped the discussion and handed the parchment to Lu Li.
After a brief pause, Lu Li stretched out his left hand to catch the parchment.
"There is a hidden exit in the mining area..."
Will Ken's old voice sounded deep in his mind.
"How do you know this?" Lu Li thought.
"My consciousness can be extended...can spread like air, penetrate like water, and stretch like branches. Maybe it is given by the parchment, maybe it is the insignificant ability I have awakened..."
"This is very useful." Gu
"Thank you...you can leave the mine through the hidden exit and avoid the fight...believe in Will."
When others looked at the parchment without any special information, Lu Li remained calm and said: "There is a tunnel at the bottom of the mining area that leads to the outside world. We can leave the mining area without disturbing the Bloodline Family Alliance."
"Escape? But we don't have to do that now." Heinz Ellis frowned.
Pasha Rivas, the knight who opposed him, rarely agreed: "The strength we have formed is enough to defeat them and win the points."
Towani from the Giant Tree Academy will only follow Lu Li's decision, while Ida is good at dormant and plotting due to her spider nature.
"Everyone, don't ignore this." Nunes shook his head slightly: "The number of players digging in the mining area can be counted, but we don't know how many people are in the Bloodline Family Alliance outside. Just a logical estimate: maybe they are enough to deal with all
people."
"You want to say that the alliance was meaningless from the beginning?" Knight Pasha Rivas said solemnly.
"No... the alliance is the only thing we can do," Nunes replied.
"Will the Bloodline Family Alliance let us go because of Lu Li?" Ida said, the warts swaying on her body were about to mature.
"It's very unlikely."
They had all heard about the conflict between the Bloodline Family Alliance and Lu Li the day they entered Midnight City.
"That group of stubborn, self-reliant noble guys will do anything for their so-called 'family glory.'" Heinz Ellis knew this group of annoying guys who were more arrogant than them.
"Are you sure it's true?" Nunes asked Lu Li. After receiving the response, he clapped his hands gently: "I agree to leave from the mine."
"I have no objection." Tovani immediately agreed.
Not surprisingly, no one objected.
Lu Li and Ida will go to the mine to explore, while the others will stay in the mine temporarily to look for teammates who are willing to leave with them.
"They agreed not to reveal any information about Lu Li before revealing Mr. Lu Li's existence."
Heinz Ellis reminds everyone.
Obviously, the excavation site as the core of the mining area is a prohibited area, so the earth dwellers' money-loving character is highlighted. As long as they pay a suitable price, the earth dwellers can trade anything they can pay, including lives.
For reasons they cannot understand, the emphasis on money is deeply embedded in their souls.
Carrying the miner's lamp, they descended from the elevator into the dark mine. Following Will Ken's guidance, Lu Li and Ida gradually deviated from the main mine tunnel where the earth dwellers and miners walked.
"It's this mine tunnel, I feel it leads to the outside world..."
After receiving confirmation, Lu Li returned to the elevator and waited.
…
"You will regret your refusal to form an alliance..."
Heinz Ellis sneered and whispered, turned and left, ending his last performance before heading to the mining area.
The young members of the Bloodline family watched haughtily and indifferently as his figure disappeared deep into the street.
"nailed it?"
At the street corner, Nunes was waiting and asked.
In addition to Pasha Rivas and Tovani, three players who agreed to join the alliance were also nearby.
"Those arrogant fools will not pay attention to us for the time being." Heinz Ellis said confidently.
"Very good, it's time to meet up with Mr. Lu Li."
The Bloodline Family Alliance will not understand why players from different camps can form an alliance.
As long as Lu Li exists, it is impossible for them to betray each other.
