Linda didn't reply, staring blankly at the crowd not far away.
About ten meters ahead, there was a carriage bearing the flag of the Holy Rock Adventurers.
The driver was a man with a long golden ponytail, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, gazing listlessly at the sky.
The man yawned and glanced at Ai Ke from time to time, urging her with his eyes.
Linda recognized the other person as Bovis, the "Smiling Swordsman" from Nanyan City, and Eiko's older brother.
After boarding that carriage, Eiko will disappear from White Dove City, and will most likely never cross paths with the adventurers again.
If it's just for a comfortable life, then retiring isn't a bad decision.
Linda thought to herself that climbing the World Tree was an extremely risky thing, and even as a veteran player who had completed the game many times, she had to be extra careful and cautious when facing each level.
Retirement is the best choice for Ike.
Even knowing this, Linda felt as if a hole had been opened in her chest, and a cold wind rushed in.
At that moment, Eiko walked past the crowd and stood in front of him.
"Here, a farewell gift."
Aiko handed over a white briefcase.
Linda opened it with a puzzled look.
"This is?"
Inside was a complete set of orange-quality, rare, level 40 Moon-rank equipment for a Light Mage.
At current market prices, orange-tier Moon-rank equipment requires 400 Purple Gold Coins, and a complete set in the briefcase contains six pieces, which is 2400 Coins.
This is a huge sum of money!
Linda looked at Eike in surprise. When Eike ran away from home, did she empty the Saint Rock Adventurer's loot storage room?
“I can’t accept something so valuable,” Linda refused.
Ai Ke shook her head, "Anyway, I won't need it after I retire. Rather than letting it gather dust under the bed, it's better to give it to the future light mage of the Phoenix Flower."
“And there’s Lia.” Eko took out a gold storage card. “There are 200 purple gold coins inside. Consider it my sponsorship for Xueyan’s adventure expenses.”
Leah's hands trembled slightly: "Why are you giving this to me?"
“An ordinary person can live comfortably for the rest of their life with just 10,000 gold coins, let alone my family, which is a rising-level adventurer group. You can take it.”
Taking advantage of being taller than Vilia, Eko patted the bewildered Vilia's head and chuckled, "I've only recently realized that I don't really dislike you as my captain."
Linda frowned: "Eiko, I'll ask you one last time. Is this what you really think? Do you really want to retire and be an ordinary person instead of continuing to be an adventurer?"
Everyone stared expectantly at Ike.
Leah clenched her fists, looking somewhat nervous.
She and Aiko used to argue all the time, but now that Aiko was really gone, only she and Chrona were left in Xueyan's huge villa.
Chrona spends all her time going to the iris garden, which means that Leah is the only one left in the villa.
It's too deserted.
Not as the team leader, but as a friend.
Lia wants Eko to stay.
