Philsa felt a little uncomfortable without a sword and without the expected weight at his waist. He initially felt insecure, but the thought of Sherry accompanying him eased his worries.
The two, having explored almost the entire Danyin area, were now heading towards the city center. The sunset colors on the sky were gradually fading.
A circular pool in the style of Chris has been built in the center of the city.
Therefore, the surrounding air is fresh, giving one a wonderful feeling of wandering in the water.
Beside the pool sat a familiar pair of figures.
The woman was carefully bandaging the wound on the man's right arm.
As for how serious it is, you can tell by the faint blood seeping through the gauze.
These two are Lampard and Olina from the Obsidian Knights.
"Hi!" Philsa was the first to walk over and greet her friend.
After a walk, his complexion improved considerably, and he no longer looked like a patient.
"You look quite energetic!"
"But what happened to your hand?"
Lampard spoke about what happened today.
He led his squad on a routine patrol outside Danin—a rule established by the Obsidian Knights that required them to patrol the surrounding area daily to ensure the safety of the local residents.
At that time, they accidentally discovered a group of monsters hiding in the sand dunes. They fought a great battle, repelled the enemy, and Lampard was slightly injured.
Not only him, but another member of the team was also seriously injured and is receiving treatment at the Knights Guild.
Lampard kept his promise and waited for Olina to finish her work for the day by the pool in the center of the city at dusk.
Because they were assigned different jobs—he went out on patrol and she went to the Knights Guild's archives to organize documents—they hadn't seen each other for almost two days.
"Thank you for your hard work. There's nothing we can do to help... Please be careful, both of you."
"My injury is mostly healed. How about you, Firsa?"
Philsa recounted his encounter with the Demon Lord. Although Obsidian and his companion had heard a little about it, they still didn't know the details.
Philsa only gave a brief overview of how he discovered something amiss with the ice sculpture city standing in the desert, encountered the Demon Lord, inevitably fought him, and was ultimately defeated by the Demon Lord.
Sherry knew that Philsa had concealed the Demon Lord's true identity.
In fact, he told Shirley all of this after he woke up from his coma.
After all, one cannot casually tell outsiders that "the Demon Lord is one's own father."
"I see. It seems this enemy is not easy to deal with. But you're really lucky to be alive..."
At this moment, Olina realized that it was getting dark and there were very few pedestrians on the road. She first glanced at Sherry, who had been left standing to the side, and then said to the two who were still talking, full of complaints, "Why do you two talk about business as soon as you meet?"
The two men finally stopped.
Olina chuckled and then suggested that the four of them go to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
Tired of the ordinary food at the Knights Guild restaurant, the four walked to the most famous hotel in Danin, the "Thor Hotel".
“I remember now, I think I’ve been here before.”
Upon entering the hotel's first-floor restaurant and taking a seat, Philsa recalled, "I remember that time we were on a mission, but we arrived late, and dinner time had long passed. So Sherry and I could only eat bread at the entrance."
Olena and Lampard chuckled at his tone, which was a mix of humor and regret.
"There are a lot of people here, but it's very quiet." Shirley ignored Philsa's boring joke and looked around.
I was indeed late last time, and I didn't get to have dinner as planned.
From that moment on, Shirley inexplicably developed a strong desire to eat at the Thor Hotel.
"This is our first time here, but this is definitely a five-star hotel. The atmosphere is great. I wonder how the food is?"
Olena took two menu cards from the waiter and handed them to the two men at the table, saying, "They're yours now!"
Philsa took it and browsed the description. Both the dish name and the description made his mouth water even before he saw the actual food, leaving him in a dilemma.
"Wow, the information plaque is made of fragrant wood! No wonder it gives off such a pleasant aroma... Just smelling it makes my mouth water!" After exclaiming, Lampard ordered a steak set meal for two.
“Hmm…we…should do the same…” Philsa decided, thinking that it was always a safe bet to order a set meal from someone who had more “ordering experience” than herself.
Sherry gave her companion a light kick under the table and whispered, "No opinions of your own."
The four guests waited for the waiter to bring their set meals, and he first brought them pre-meal drinks.
"Actually, I'm curious, when was the last time you came to Danyin?" Olina sipped her orange juice and asked the two young people opposite her.
She had worked with Lampard in Obsidian for five years, and had never been to such a remote city while working with the Knights.
So she became curious about Philsa and Shirley's travel experiences.
“I remember now, I’ve been here twice. The first time was three years ago when I happened to pass by, and the time I came with Shirley was about a year ago. Back then, the ‘Thor Hotel’ wasn’t this big yet, but the lightning bolt symbol on the sign has never changed. It’s said to be inspired by the spear of Zeus, the chief god of Greek mythology…”
"You started working three years ago? Three years ago, you were only about fifteen or sixteen years old..." Olina asked in surprise.
She joined Obsidian together after passing the knighthood exams with Lampard, and was already twenty years old at the time. However, twenty is the legal age for becoming a knight.
"That's right, I started working right after I left the academy."
