Without enemies and people holding them back, leaving the underground palace was a simple matter. The local tyrants of Storm Bay, who had the most opinions and even conspired to control the two Mages, obediently remained silent. In their original opinion, the Mages were just a group of jackals who could throw a piece of rotten meat and eat it with relish. If they wanted to control them, it would just depend on the means of control.
Most of them had once thought of becoming a member of the Hanen Society and controlling the entire Storm Bay. However, some people were not capable enough, and some people had conflicts of interest, so they were all excluded in the end.
This time, they participated in the attack with a vengeful mentality. They wanted to let those who looked down on them know their importance. Some people wanted to save the Hanen Society at the last moment in exchange for a better position. Some people simply hoped that they could join the Demon King and replace the Hanen Society.
However, the fate of the Hanen Society made them understand how ruthless these two Mages were. Most importantly, they were powerless to resist. Perhaps Hanen, who only had his head left, was not a threat, but just the male Mage alone, even as his companion, made them feel the despair of being enemies. Not to mention the female Mage who had yet to make a move.
After leaving the underground palace, the battles in Carefree Palace quickly subsided. The Hanen Society, which had lost all its core members, including their idols, was destined to be swept into the dust of history. Naturally, no one was willing to continue with such an identity.
Some of them ran away, while others laid down their weapons and surrendered. Other than a few people who had deep grudges, conflicts and killings did not continue. Even someone who had originally planned to wipe out the Hanen Society in one fell swoop did not continue to ask the leaders of the other attackers to let their subordinates continue to hunt down the remaining members of the Hanen Society.
On one hand, Lin believed that the truly important core members should be in the pile of dead bodies just now. On the other hand, they had killed enough people. If the remaining small fries had the courage to cause trouble for them, he believed that there would not be many of them. After all, people would seek good fortune and avoid disaster.
In the next few days, conflicts broke out in Storm Bay one after another. Although it wasn't on the same scale as when everyone besieged the Hanen Association, there were still casualties. Now that the largest organization had fallen, those who were still alive would naturally want to take over.
Some of the original ruling families of Storm Bay also returned. However, it was unknown how many of these people were actually members of the original ruling family. In any case, there was a group of people using such a banner.
Even the ordinary people who were still alive in the city were dragged into this huge dispute. The only place that remained calm was the tavern where the two magicians were staying. Other than Lin and the others, there were also former comrades who had come to assist Uzov Gantia. Everyone who was fighting for territory tacitly skipped this place.
Although they weren't completely blind to the chaos in the city, everyone had a consensus that they wouldn't get involved. No matter if it was Uzov's men or Lin's group. Now that the Hanen Society's tumor had been removed, would there be more poisonous ones? This was not something they could control.
There was no end to killing the bad guys. If the good guys wanted to protect themselves, they couldn't always rely on the envoys of justice. They had to resist themselves.
Lin was now waiting, waiting for Uzov to contact the paddle boat. He was going to follow the original plan and take a boat to the inner river to the central area of the Maze Continent. He was going to see the traditional bustling area of the Maze Continent.
Fen was quite leisurely during this period of time. She often sat by the window sill and looked at the distant sky or the smoke of conflict in the distant city.
Shi Dong, who no longer used his surname — in the words of the Lich, she only used 'Stone' to call the stitched corpse that had yet to develop consciousness — was placed on a table beside him, quietly closing his eyes like a strange decoration.
The two apprentices, on the other hand, took advantage of this rare leisure time to rethink their skills and tactics. It was fine if they couldn't keep up with their sister, after all, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. It was fine if they could play with those dwarves, because their shortcomings were quite obvious. However, it was a big problem if they couldn't help their teacher.
The girls were unwilling to only be responsible for housework and not help in battle. And now, it seemed that it wasn't that they couldn't help at all. Instead, they would be a hindrance. It was their teacher's fault for having such a strange way of thinking, strange tactics, and extremely unbalanced strength. Others didn't know how to keep up even if they wanted to.
In this regard, the two apprentices went to ask the companions that Uzov had asked for help. They were a group of experienced adventurers, from crusading against daemons to fighting against demons, they had won one victory after another. Of course, they also had a few near-death experiences. Although they didn't mention it, from their words, they could feel that they had lost someone because of it.
A few of them were also members of the Turtledove Alliance, and they were naturally closer to Halumi. Coupled with the girl's natural and graceful attitude, she was also very talkative. Soon, she had nothing to hide from this group of people.
Sometimes, they talked about the things that they had encountered, the difficulties that they had faced, and how to solve them. These were all experiences that the girls could learn from. Of course, they also talked about the girls' abilities, how they could strengthen themselves, and what they could make up for their shortcomings.
Soon, even the four silver-bearded dwarves joined in the discussion. Not only were the dwarves severely biased, but they also didn't have enough battle experience. In the vicinity of their home, there were only a few races that could be their opponents, and the dwarves had long grasped the habits of the other races. The dwarves also cherished the opportunity to get some different experiences from other people.
Perhaps the most unsociable ones were the two official mages and the owner of the tavern, Uzov Gantia.
To the former Demon King, she was so strong that the opinions of others were of no value. To a certain someone, his tactics were so strange that the opinions of others were of no value. Uzov was so busy that he was about to fly, and had no time to chat.
He was prepared to leave with everyone. And for the time being, it seemed that he was prepared to shamelessly follow Lin and the others, and not with the companions that he had asked for help. In this regard, his companions had many complaints. But after a hearty conversation one night, everyone agreed with Uzov's idea and didn't say anything more.
Although Lin and Fen didn't know the content of their conversation, a certain someone thought that it was nothing more than a mouse hanging a bell on a cat.
As for the other party's conspiracy … To be honest, Lin wasn't worried about it. In the face of the Lich's absolute strength, any conspiracy was meaningless. A thousand years ago, the four heroes could successfully crusade against the Demon King. Now it seemed that the main reason was that the Lich was tired of living, and not that the four were really strong.
In order to leave, and it seemed that Uzov didn't intend to return to Storm Bay, he had a lot of things to pack and deal with. Bits and pieces of luggage to pack and take away the necessary belongings. These trivial things were not difficult for him, who was used to traveling.
But some properties in Storm Bay had to be dealt with, and some interpersonal matters had to be settled. These weren't so easy. The biggest one was this small tavern.
At least it occupied a piece of land, and at least there was a house that could shelter him from the wind and rain. It was a pity that it was abandoned. Uzov simply gave this tavern to the fat chef who had been working here since his father's time.
Anyway, he didn't have any business in his hands and couldn't make much money, so Uzov gave it away for free. As for the request, that is, if, really, one day, his descendants returned to Storm Bay to ask for help, he hoped that the fat chef or his descendants would give him a meal to eat and a place to rest.
As for a certain someone, during this period of free time, he opened the Starry Sky and studied his own mental state. Everything he experienced in the battle was so unreal that he didn't feel like himself. In this aspect of research, he couldn't count on the Lich at all. As long as he opened the Starry Sky, Fen wouldn't even step half a step into the range, and naturally, she couldn't help.
Of course, Lin also took the time to run into the Dream Magic Tower and discuss with the other two selves. The conclusion was, of course, no conclusion …
He could discuss by himself, but what could he discuss? The other two selves didn't know more than he knew. At most, as the main body, he would forget some of the memories as unimportant, while the other two selves would still be aware of them.
The few Gods that he had seen before didn't appear again. To be honest, the last conversation actually just made him more confused.
However, this situation also made a certain someone speculate whether or not communicating with the earth was like a radio that had to be adjusted to the right channel to listen to the radio. In other words, certain conditions had to be met before those forces could be activated. But what were the conditions? He didn't know!
If he couldn't figure it out, then he shouldn't continue to think about it. In the history of China, Wang Yangming learned the knowledge of investigating things to obtain knowledge. He studied bamboo for seven days and seven nights and only came to the conclusion that people would be hungry if they didn't eat or drink. Some things couldn't be understood just by thinking.
Finally, before a certain someone's patience ran out, the waiting ship arrived at Storm Bay. There were two ships, and the captain was an old acquaintance of Uzov and his companions. The ships were long ships with a single mast and square sail, and there were nearly twenty oarsmen on each ship. There wasn't much extra space on the ship. When the empty ship came, it basically carried Lin and Uzov's two groups of people, as well as their respective belongings. The ship was stuffed full.
The two sailboats, under the condition of being fully loaded, sailed towards the sea, leaving this decaying and seriously ill city. For most people, this was just a stop on the journey, and it would only be remembered when it became a topic of conversation at the dinner table in the future.
But Uzov Gantia was deeply moved. Before leaving, although the cancer of the city was cleaned up, the problems at the root of Storm Bay didn't improve. Because of the rise of sea trade, and also because of the decline of sea trade, if another way out couldn't be found, this city would eventually be abandoned.
