He already knew the identities of those two people, and the Lord's reaction was also within his expectations...
The Borg have always been domineering and will definitely not let it go if someone dies.
Unfortunately, this place is too far away from Borg. Even ten years later, they could not conquer the Basaran Empire, let alone Mersin south of Basaran.
At most, they will make some verbal threats and then use some machinery or other things to restrict exports.
Borg's mechanical manufacturing is indeed very strong, but it is not irreplaceable. Mersin is a small country and life is mainly based on ordinary agriculture, so industrial restrictions will not have much impact.
Not to mention the ability to purchase from other countries...
At most, it's just a pretense and then nothing happens.
Isn't the key point that there is still one person who is not dead?
Sean recalled that there was indeed a man still alive during the battle yesterday. He and Lucille were busy escaping and didn't see what happened to that man. If he hadn't been caught or silenced, he would have told his superiors everything.
By then, they will only say that it was the Basaran Empire that was behind the scenes, and they cannot blame themselves.
"Let's wait a few days. We'll leave after a while anyway." Sean didn't care about these troubles at all, or he didn't take them to heart at all.
The strength of a city's guard is limited.
Can't hold on for long...
"Then how long do we have to wait?"
Sean frowned in consideration.
"Probably, just a few days. It shouldn't be too long!"
A long time ago, when they were in Oro City, Sean asked Luke to study the combat effectiveness of Mersin. At that time, he was worried that the other party would take advantage of the war to attack Oro City, so he made a special investigation into the strength of this country.
We have strength, but it is much looser than other countries.
Perhaps this is a characteristic of coastal peoples. Because they have the vast ocean as a retreat, many people will not accept death as an opportunity. For them, it is enough to live safely in the small country of Mersin. If there are any problems, they can retreat to the islands.
That is, the numerous unnamed islands in the southern waters, with the united islands serving as the retreat route for the entire country.
It is indeed very rare, and it is this kind of pirate-like mentality that makes the country lack unity. The king is just a person who can be obeyed in the general environment. If there is really unrest, they can immediately sail away independently.
In short,
Relying on this rogue and helpless way to survive.
Mersin is such a country!
"Don't worry, we'll be fine in the end." Sean said confidently.
In the next few days, just as Sean had expected, the idle people in this city really kept finding those who hid the purple gems, but they caught the wrong people.
Later on, Sean even felt that they would choose one of them as a scapegoat.
But it doesn't seem to be that serious yet...
The entire city was filled with guards arresting people, but normal life continued. Around the fourth day, the situation began to improve a little.
Sean was ready to set off with Lucille.
Take an airship to see where the nearest city to the west is. Mersin's territory does not seem to be connected to the plateau, and there is no port on the plateau. The only available means of transportation is airship.
On the fifth day, Sean prepared everything, and the two of them immediately set off for the airship tower...
"Teacher, are we heading to the plateau now?"
"Yeah. Didn't I just say that a few days ago?" Sean glanced at Lucille next to him.
He knew that the other party had doubts, and had had doubts for the past few days, but she just didn't say it, and Sean couldn't find a good excuse to explain.
How can I say this!
Should I just tell her that I came here to look for someone and would go back after finding them?
I guess the little girl doesn't understand what it means.
"It's a nice place. Although I've never been there, I've seen descriptions of it in books. It's a place worth visiting." Sean tried to make things sound lighter.
However, Lucille had become immune to this tone.
She just nodded and replied with an 'Oh'.
It seems that he still cares about the reason...
"Lucille."
"Um?"
Sean suddenly called out to the other person.
"Do you know why I've been obsessed with finding something related to this stone?"
Of course, the other party shook his head and said he didn't know.
"This involves something that has always been very important. Just like the alchemists of the past pursued the truth, we wizards also have goals to pursue. It concerns my future and yours, so I must find it..."
Lucille listened blankly, not quite understanding what was said.
"What is that thing?"
Sean shook his head in confusion.
"I can't confirm it now, but it definitely exists."
Suddenly, I subconsciously thought of Lucille in the future. Could it be that these words of mine led her to wander around?
I wanted to persuade him, but finally gave up.
After all, Lucille's situation was much better on the normal timeline more than ten years later. If she hadn't traveled before, she might not have met herself at that time. The world lines are always connected, and how she changed the ending has already appeared, so there is no need to worry about it.
"Then why are you still looking for it?"
“Someone always wants to know!”
A conversation that even you yourself may not be able to explain.
Sean looked at the other person's distressed expression, smiled, and stroked his head.
"Don't think too much. You'll slowly figure it out in the future. You'll always be on the road and there will always be stops. When you feel tired, just find a place to settle down. That's a good life!"
Lucille, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, certainly didn't understand what Sean said. Maybe she understood it, but she wouldn't think about it too deeply.
The world is still big for her, and time is long enough...
The city’s airship tower is still built at the highest point in the city. After all, it will not affect the normal operation of the city.
It was also the first time for Lucille to see an airship. She had heard of this type of transportation before, so she was quite excited when she saw it for the first time.
"It's so beautiful, can we really fly away on it?"
Fantasy is always beautiful.
However, only Sean knew that the airship was probably the most difficult means of transportation in the world to ride.
Hehe~
"You won't think like this later. Remember to buy earplugs when you go up. It's better to buy some pickles and pickles. I guess you won't be able to eat anything else these days." Sean said.
I've been through this before, so I'm very experienced!
"Ah? Is it that serious?"
"Go buy it, and you'll know when the time comes." Sean said directly.
However, at this moment, I heard another voice, and it was a very familiar voice.
Frelia...
Turn your head away.
I actually saw Steele and his group whom I hadn't seen for a long time, including Ash.
Holy crap!
