"Dear Ronald:
I am very pleased to receive your words sent from the distant north before the arrival of the second month of autumn.
I have read the contents of the letter carefully.
I also express regret and sorrow for the unexpected events that both of you have encountered.
Fortunately, I am indeed able to find a caster in the northern continent to provide support for you, so you don't need to worry.
As long as you acquire the thod to use the teleportation spell ntioned in the letter, you can notify at any ti, and then we can discuss the detailed operation of sending you to the northern continent.
...
Lastly, I wish you a smooth journey and unobstructed career.
Your faithful Alya, always willing to serve you."
The letter brought by the travel agency staff was naturally the reply from the fairy tale sealer to Ronald.
Alya's reply speed was as swift as ever.
Judging from the contents, Ronald's previous expectations were completely correct.
This fairy tale sealer indeed possesses the ability to find a caster capable of assisting them in the distant northern continent. In this way, the final problem troubling Ronald and his companion is only the acquisition of the teleportation spell.
"..."
"Ronald, it seems we're in luck, huh?"
Katherine, who was beside him, also saw the contents of the letter and naturally congratulated them:
"Barring any unexpected events, it looks like arriving at the northern continent ahead of ti won't be an issue for us."
"That's right..." Ronald nodded slightly, then took out so change from his pocket to give to the staff in front of him as a tip.
He was preparing to return to their lodgings with Katherine.
Before leaving, however, Ronald rembered the expression of this staff mber who had brought the letter.
He looked again at the anxious and worried people in the travel agency hall.
Ronald paused slightly, then turned back and spoke to the travel agency staff:
"Regarding the situation outside, you don't need to worry for the ti being. Both sides are currently at a stalemate, and both their stamina and magic will ensure that the war won't end for at least the next three... five days."
"..."
Leaving behind a response of uncertain comfort.
Ronald then continued forward with Katherine, returning to their accommodations within the travel agency.
At this mont, the dawn in the distance lit up the clouds on the horizon.
Spells from the combatants below destroyed forests on the ground and disturbed the air, even twisting the lower-altitude clouds in the sky due to the chaotic airflow, scattered forward along the direction of the atmospheric flow.
Suppose you ignore the armies below engaged in a life-and-death struggle.
At this mont, under the illumination of the morning dawn, this scene unexpectedly revealed a unique beauty of daybreak.
Click—
Katherine, who entered the room first, was already standing on the balcony, gazing into the distance.
anwhile, Ronald, closing the room door behind him, then walked into the living room.
Before he could sit down to rest for a mont.
Katherine, who was ever watching the direction of the war and the scenes in Hamoro City, asked him without turning her head:
"Ronald, what do you think will happen to the people in Hamoro City?"
"Either stick together to resist or run away imdiately." Ronald replied quickly, as this wasn't a question worth pondering in his view, "Those choosing to defend the city need not elaborate, they will only throw themselves into war; as for the ones fleeing..."
At this point, Ronald looked towards the darkness in the west.
The sky was dim, at this ti even the stars in the sky had lost their light, leaving only an oppressive aura.
Ronald hesitated for a mont before making his final judgnt:
"Lin Yin City's army is approaching from the east—though Hamoro's side is by the sea, the other three directions of the city cannot be entirely surrounded by just a few thousand people. Now, while their military formation hasn't fully unfolded, and leveraging the cover of night, the best ti to flee should indeed be this mont."
"..."
"Ha——"
"Fleeing, huh..."
Upon hearing Ronald's analysis, Katherine chuckled lightly with lowered eyebrows.
The gaze of the young woman appeared to carry a tint of reminiscence.
Standing at the edge of the balcony for a long ti, she finally spoke, as if talking to herself, or perhaps to Ronald:
"Back when the wizard of Barrier Mountain was just sealed into the 'Infinite Negative Domain,' there were indeed quite a few who regretted and prepared to sever all ties with the mainstream wizards of Barrier Mountain, never to interact until death."
"But the result..."
At this point, Katrina turned her body and cast a curious glance at Ronald:
"Ronald, what do you think their final outco was?"
Ronald pondered briefly before answering:
"Before entering Barrier Mountain, Bapulor and I also spent so ti outside the mountain, the 'Infinite Negative Domain' is not only inhabited near Barrier Mountain."
"If I'm not mistaken, those people you're talking about are indeed the ones who regretted?"
"Their beginning was a massacre you know." Casrina affird Ronald's speculation but also revealed disdain and mockery in her eyes, "Casters holding the canon were all killed, then their sect's heritage was plundered. Only those worthless even to kill ended up surviving that slaughter, becoming the pitiful wretches you once saw."
"..."
Human punishnt for traitors has always been severe.
Regarding the facts presented by Katherine, Ronald had nothing further to say.
Considering the current situation of the city they're in, Ronald ultimately shook his head at Katherine:
"In Hamoro, such cruel scenes shouldn't occur."
"The two cases are not the sa."
Katherine did not directly answer but turned around, casting her gaze into the distance once more.
If you listen closely at this mont.
You'll find Katherine murmuring softly with complex emotions:
"The human heart, the human heart indeed. Such a thing is unpredictable, I don't share your optimism..."
Ti flowed by—
As the war progressed, the sky was gradually illuminated entirely by the sun's rays.
Even though they had returned to the travel agency, experiencing everything just now, Ronald and Katherine had no desire to rest.
Each stayed in the living room, killing ti in their own way.
Until an hour after the sky was completely bright.
On the balcony, Katherine saw a group of three to five people outside the travel agency, carrying large packages heading in its direction.
Seeing this, the deep-in-thought Casrina suddenly turned her head, her smile radiant:
"Ronald, there's good news!"
"It looks like our breakfast is on its way!"
