【Mission Completed】

[A companion has been detected. Do you want to return? ]

【whether】

"Um?"

Lu Ban felt a little puzzled because the last time he went to a foreign land, he returned immediately after completing the mission and had no choice. Now it seems that he can delay his return, which is a bit strange.

But he also saw a line of small words marking the time.

Even if I don't make any choice, I will return in an hour. The time left now is probably enough for me to clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils.

But the scene.

After the Hai family mansion was cleansed by [Simulated Kagero], perhaps only the stones on the foundation could be picked up and thrown away.

"Can I add friends in A Quiet Place?"

Lu Ban suddenly asked.

"Add friend?"

Drizzt didn't understand.

"Can we go through the Land of Silence and continue communicating after we return?"

Lu Ban asked again.

"There's no way to contact them directly, but you can leave a message."

Trist understood Lu Ban's meaning and then said.

“You can leave traces on the ground like this.”

He leaned down, and suddenly, stone-like knife marks appeared on the smooth ground in front of him.

Lu Ban took a closer look and found that it was an illusion created by the system, just like those words.

It says "Caution".

"Leave a message here and specify the target. The next time he enters the Quiet Land, he will be able to see the corresponding message."

Trist patiently taught Lu Ban how to leave messages.

Then he continued.

"In addition, if you can obtain some special props with historical or mythological heritage, you can also use it to send messages to your former companions and ask them to join the mission with you."

"I see."

Lu Ban nodded slightly.

"Although I lost a lot of sanity in this mission, I think the exploration completion will be very high. Basically, we have already understood the ins and outs of Kushui Town. It is at least rated as amazing. To be honest, I have never achieved such a high evaluation in the Silent Land for so long."

Drizzt said with emotion.

"?"

Lu Ban had a question mark in his mind.

He originally wanted to say that he had actually completed several amazing evaluations, but when he thought about it carefully, wasn't this the same as saying in front of students who worked hard but still couldn't get good grades that he could get full marks even if he ate, drank, and had fun every day without studying at all?

Although it is the truth, it is also hurtful.

As a gentle, considerate and emotionally intelligent human being, Lu Ban did not intend to do such a hurtful thing.

"To be honest, when you rushed in, I thought of the senior who helped me. In the Land of Silence, some people do whatever it takes to survive, and even use their fellow travelers as a shield to harm them. Some people still maintain their humanity and fight against madness. If I hadn't met him at the beginning, I might have become a sophisticated egoist."

Trist was quite emotional.

"That's it. If there is any chance in the future, let's meet again in the Land of Silence. Although you don't follow the rules, you are quite interesting."

"By the way, the senior you kept talking about, is he still in the Land of Silence?"

Lu Ban couldn't help but ask.

"No... I don't know. I haven't heard from him in a long time. I tried to contact him, but he didn't reply."

Drizzt's expression became more serious.

"What's his name? Maybe I can give you a message when we meet next time."

Lu Ban asked casually.

"His name is Du Danping. The last time I saw him was two missions ago."

Trist’s answer made Lu Ban stunned.

…

The Kingdom of Night, Dry Water Town.

One hour later.

Outside the Ku Shui Town, which had become a ruin, the walking corpses of the Hai family had been shattered into pieces when the mud was evaporated by the sun, turning into a pool of bones and rotten flesh.

Those villagers who feared the sun all prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to stand up, not daring to look directly at it, and not daring to blaspheme it.

Until footsteps were heard.

That was the sound of shoes stepping on fallen leaves. On the road where the villagers did not dare to look up, two people in gray cloaks were walking one after the other towards the silent Ku Shui Town.

"We have detected obvious fluctuations of magic power in this area. According to the records of the Gray Tower Observation Center, this fluctuation is consistent with the one detected in the Black Forest of Lishan three years ago. It is obvious that it is the same person."

Walking behind was a woman with light blonde, slightly curly hair, eyes as green as lake water, and delicate skin. It was obvious that she was not a laborer doing heavy physical work.

"Wait, there's a town ahead. Strange, there shouldn't be a town here..."

She held a roll of parchment in her hand, her pretty brows furrowed, as if she was quite troubled by the fact that she couldn't get an answer.

"On the outskirts of the Black Forest, there are towns that even the Grey Tower has no records of."

The brown-haired man walking in front spoke in a deep voice. He looked simple and strong, like a reliable knight. Time had left traces on his face, but the wind and frost could not wash away the sharpness.

"And if I remember correctly... there might be something not so good sealed here."

When the two men arrived at the center of Ku Shui Town, where the Hai family mansion had been reduced to ashes by Trist's [Imitative Sun Flame], the man's expression finally changed.

"Yes, a will of a certain evil god was once sealed here. I am very familiar with this sealing method. It was a standard operation in the textbooks two hundred and fifty years ago. However, this sealing method was later found to have loopholes, so it was revised thirty years later..."

The two searched around but couldn't find any more clues. Everything seemed to have been wiped out by some supreme being, not even the smell was left.

"Every trace of the evil god's will was directly wiped out. This person is very dangerous..."

"He defeated the will of the evil god, which at least means he is a good person?"

The woman murmured to herself.

"No, you have to know that even the evil gods are hostile to each other. He was able to destroy the will of the evil god here. Who knows if he relied on the power of another god?"

The man sighed and stared at the pale sun.

…

[The mission has been completed, and now we are returning]

【3……2……1……】

Countless lights enveloped Lu Ban, making the rainbow lose its color. In the dizzy feeling of heavy head and light feet, Lu Ban felt confused for a while, but soon, the soft bed brought him some peace of mind.

He first checked the time on his phone. It had been more than eight hours since he entered the foreign land. It was around five in the morning. The sun was rising, shining on the earth, and everything was full of hope.

The golden sunlight fell on the balcony, distorted and deformed, forming systematic words.
