Beacon City.
Lund escaped from the courtyard with the remaining people and Jenna, and under the cover of another group of people, moved to a new residence on the north side of the city, close to the mountains and forests.
"Lord Longde, please let me know if you need anything. I'll take my leave now."
After settling this group of people, it was already evening, and the bard did not bother them anymore and turned to leave.
Lund surveyed the surroundings and then took his daughter to a separate room.
Looking at her father's slightly solemn eyes, Jenna unconsciously became a little uneasy.
After closing the door and checking, Lund asked his daughter to sit at the table and sat down slowly himself.
"You left late." He said.
Jenna wanted to explain something, but when the words came to her lips, she slowly closed them and lowered her head and said, "Yes."
"This is just the beginning. Right now, there are infighting and fighting going on in Fengyan City. It will only get more intense. By then, it will be difficult for me to protect you."
"You should make some preparations, then find some time to leave the city and return to school. Don't come back until you graduate." The father said to his daughter.
"But, father's safety..." Jenna was a little worried.
"I know there are some things I can't avoid." Lund looked up at the ceiling with flickering lights and said with a sigh.
"Even if it's not Xue Te today, there will be other big shots who will come to recruit me tomorrow and hope that I will work hard for them."
"If I refuse to agree to any of them, I'll only offend them, and the consequences will be even worse. Besides, Black Rock isn't that big, so where can I hide? There are still relatives, friends, and acquaintances here that I've known for years."
"But once you choose sides, you'll be dragged into this endless conflict. The war won't end easily."
"Internally, we must defeat the Bow Hunting Sect and the many other giants of the Spear Sect."
"If you are not careful, you will end up with your head and body separated."
"Even if I follow the right person, the newly unified Black Rock will be urged by Frost Rose to participate in a war with Clancy. The enemy has a vast territory and a large population. This battle will not end easily for 5-10 years, and by then, who knows how many people will die in a foreign land."
"Don't think that Sheamus is a good person."
"I can say with certainty that the bard has been watching the show for a long time. He just appeared at the most appropriate time."
"Then my father agreed." Jenna blurted out anxiously, then realized something and remained silent.
"You are very smart, Jenna. Yes, I don't have much choice. If I don't agree to him, the outcome may be even worse." Lund said slowly.
"Is there no other choice?"
Jenna said in a low voice, she recalled her experiences along the way. The Bow Hunting Faction and the Long Spear Faction were not good, and the many mercenaries in the city were the same. There were also many factions inside the city, each pursuing their own interests.
Are there no better options? Why are there only bad and worse options before her? She was filled with confusion.
"Yeah, there's not really a good choice. I can only choose the lesser of two options. Maybe this is the reality."
Even this man, who was as sharp as a sword in the eyes of outsiders, was filled with sighs in his words at this moment.
"Go back, Jena. Go back to Emenas and study hard there. One day in the future, when you are strong enough, you may be able to find a solution to the problem." Lund touched his daughter's hair.
"Father......"
Feeling her father's rough and heavy hands, Jenna made a slight sound.
"But even if I graduate from Emenas, will I be able to find a solution to the problem?"
"In the past, Black Rock, even every year, had many talented people graduating from Emenas. They must have been full of ideals. But Black Rock hasn't changed because of this..."
Jenna thought about the names she remembered, the ones she had seen in the school register. Some of them left the country and went elsewhere, some joined local forces and became leaders themselves, doing things similar to their predecessors, and some were like stones, splashing in the water and finally disappearing without a trace.
She was not confident that she could really change the country after graduation.
The water in the pond is already polluted. No matter how good the fish are, they will be stained the same black color if they enter it, otherwise they will find it difficult to survive.
What a terrible country.
The beautiful impressions she had from her childhood slowly crumbled under the weight of what she had seen along the way. The past impression of beauty was merely a narrow-minded reflection of her hometown. She had once believed that this was all there was to Black Rock. Unexpectedly, this was actually a very rare phenomenon.
"Maybe, there is always hope." Lund patted Jenna's shoulder and then withdrew his hand.
"Sleep well. I'll arrange a gap in a few days to take you out of the city."
A sleepless night.
Jenna tossed and turned in bed and fell into a deep sleep very late.
----------
Need County.
Loran Hill collected a lot of logs from the surrounding forests, steamed them, made them into wooden boards, and placed them on one side of the yard. Then she began to try to carve an anti-gravity magic circle in the laboratory.
First, you need to prepare a carrier to hold the magic power, and such a thing is usually an extraordinary gem extracted from Warcraft.
The gemstone will then be transformed, refined, re-engraved, solidified, tested, and auxiliary structures added.
Finally, after about two weeks of continuous experiments, Loran Hill finally restored a primary anti-gravity core.
