In the end, Fagga managed to get home before dusk. Lina stood beside Fagga with her arms crossed, looking on sadly. She watched as Fagga busied himself in the kitchen, while Colleen pulled her to sit at the dining table.
Lina put her hands on her hips, looked at Colleen, and smiled. "Colleen, how can you leave Fagga to work alone in the kitchen? I should go and help."
Although she was smiling, anyone could hear the resentment in Lina's words.
She looked at Colleen with a hint of grievance. If it weren't for the fact that she had been pestering Lina on the way home, saying, "Mr. Fagga has made breakfast for us for several days now, I want to buy a souvenir to take back," she would have been a little disappointed.
Then she dragged Lina around the mall for a long time. If it weren't for the sun getting lower and lower and her changing into a red shawl, Kelin would have liked to stay in the mall a little longer.
"Mmm!"
Ke Lin shook her head vigorously after hearing Lina's words, but still stubbornly pulled Lina to sit down at the table, and said timidly, "Lina... Miss Lina has also worked very hard. Ke Lin can do these things."
Before Lina could even utter a rebuttal, Colleen dashed into the kitchen for refuge, leaving only Lina and Ellen in the empty dining room.
Eileen didn't want to talk. She lay on the dining table playing on her phone, her beautiful face illuminated by the white light, her eyes reflecting the content from the internet.
"Riding in Hellfire?"
Eileen murmured to herself, her gaze casually sweeping over the enthusiastic netizens' descriptions of the Fire Hell ride.
This is said to be a unique competition format in the outer ring, where energy is scarce. Just a few decades ago, even the largest lake of fire was about to be submerged by the etheric crystals that were growing there.
When it is completely covered, that will be the day when the energy is completely exhausted.
Legend has it that a hero stepped forward at this moment, venturing into the hollow surrounded by countless skeletons. He fought his way through the thorns and brambles to the depths of the hollow, and leaped off the edge of the fire lake, plunging into the abyss with the flint.
After that, a pillar of fire shot into the sky, and the hero was reborn from the flames!
Therefore, the outer ring preserved this tradition based on the legend.
On the day of the competition, each faction will carry a flint and steel and set off from the edge of the cave, following the path once trodden by the heroes of yesteryear, towards the lake of fire.
Whoever reaches the finish line first will become the next leader of the outer ring!
Of course, there's no need to jump into the lake of fire for the competition; just throw in the flint.
After watching for a while, Eileen put down her phone out of boredom and muttered to herself, "There's a peaceful power transfer ceremony on the outer ring road? I thought it was going to be a fight."
"Boring..."
But before she could finish speaking, Ellen felt a shadow fall over her. When she turned around, she saw Lina smiling.
She patted Eileen's head and sat down, gently saying to Eileen's puzzled look, "Order is always better than disorder. Limiting the war to a small scale can prevent excessive casualties."
"It was just a motorcycle outing; hardly anyone was shed. Even if they won, where will the newly appointed leader get the prestige to govern the outer ring?"
Eileen persisted in her own ideas, glancing at Lina who was still smiling beside her, and muttered as she finished speaking.
She has always only accepted Victoria's side job in housekeeping, and she is skilled in martial arts and has always been straightforward in her thinking.
Corina shook her head upon hearing this. Her experience far surpassed Elaine's, so she could naturally see the meaning behind the Hellfire Ride.
According to official data, the final destination of the Fire Hell Cycling Tour is called "Fire Lake," which is the lifeline of the entire outer ring.
In a sense, whoever controls the Lake of Fire controls the outer ring.
However, the [Fire Lake] is located deep within the cavern. Those who cannot defeat the skeletons can be buried directly, and half of those who covet that location will be swept away. Those who can complete the entire journey are undoubtedly the cream of the crop.
The Fire Hell Ride is another speed contest. The winner, aside from anything else, must be the fastest runner and have a big heart, daring to speed even with skeletons blocking the way.
After all, motorcycles aren't four-wheeled steel beasts; even the fastest cheetah has to dodge the small trees on the roadside.
Following this process, the person who can take first place in the Fire Hell Cycling Race is undoubtedly the one with the strongest overall performance on the outer ring!
Of course, Lina wouldn't tell Ellen about these things.
She gazed at Ellen, gently stroking her short hair, her eyes soft and gentle.
Eileen just needs to live happily; there's no need to burden her with complicated and troublesome things.
"What are you doing? Lina, you're acting strange."
Ellen awkwardly dodged Lina's hand, pouting as she continued browsing online.
Lina smiled slightly, then lightly touched her lips with her hand, rolled her eyes, and began to recall: "Speaking of which, I have some clues about the car that almost hit you."
"Um?"
Suddenly, a male voice rang out.
