Except for Reina, everyone suffered different degrees of injuries. The lightest was a scratch, and the most serious was a fracture. A dwarf worker unfortunately fell on a stone when he fell and fractured his thigh.
Fu Yin dismantled a wooden board and tied it to the thigh of her dwarf companion, but this could not alleviate his pain. He was still groaning in pain in the carriage.
"We have to find a way to leave here. We need support. Go and contact Lord Richard."
The werewolf crossed his arms and stood behind Fu Yin. At the end of the day, their team of adventurers wasn't here to fight any enemies. They were here to investigate and search for something. That was why they only had two bodyguards. Blake also understood. If the people who ruled this area saw a fully-armed squad, they definitely wouldn't allow them to roam freely in their territory.
"I tried, but I can't contact him here."
"What? Why didn't you say so earlier! "
Blake was shocked. He always thought that Lord Demon King could send people to support them at any time, so he was so fearless.
"I'm afraid you will be worried."
"That's natural! No one wants to die here, in this damned place. "
Fu Yin turned her head and looked at the werewolf with his head lowered. Everyone was the same. After entering the capital, they had been feeling uneasy. They were even puzzled. How did they get in? How do they get out? Were they trapped in a place like this?
She gradually lowered her head, touched the bracelet on her hand, and frowned.
Seeing this, the werewolf's eyes were startled. He seemed to understand something.
"Are we …"
"He's asleep. Let's go somewhere else to talk."
Fu Yin stood up. The werewolf closed his eyes and sighed. Then, the two of them left the crowd and came to a remote corner under a huge pipe.
"I hope you know how to get us out of here."
The werewolf asked.
Fu Yin was silent for a few seconds. She had already answered the werewolf's question.
"Damn it!"
With a bang, the werewolf punched the pipe, and there was a dull sound. It was not hollow inside. From the sound, there was some kind of liquid inside, and it was still flowing.
The werewolf was frustrated. He was just a bodyguard, and all he needed to do was to defeat the enemy. But was it really that simple?
No, it was never that simple. As a solitary demon, only after joining this adventuring team did he understand what responsibility was. It was a very troublesome thing.
"What should we do?"
He asked with a frown. Fu Yin was not a powerful warrior. According to the demons' concept, she was a weak existence. But along the way, her wisdom had solved many problems for everyone, even if she was not mature enough.
"There must be a way to open the 'door' in the city, and breaking open the spatial door requires a large amount of energy."
She looked at the werewolf with an affirmative expression.
"We need the Eternal Furnace to function properly."
Hearing this, the werewolf took a deep breath and looked along the pipe into the tunnel. From time to time, a buzzing sound could be heard from the endless tunnel.
"If those are really the puppets we encountered and they have all become our enemies, then there are at least a dozen of them. They are very strong." As he spoke, he looked at Fu Yin.
"We can't protect so many people. It's difficult even for ourselves."
"I understand."
"Also, you'd better talk to that girl. We need her help."
With that, the werewolf turned and left.
Fu Yin turned around and found Reina standing not far away, silently looking at them. She smiled at Reina and nodded. The latter slowly walked over.
"I can let you leave here."
The first sentence she said surprised Fu Yin, but she was used to it. It was not the first time this little girl had done something unbelievable.
"Really?"
"Yes, but I don't know where I will send you."
Reina replied. She still had a long way to go to master spatial magic. It was a very complicated and delicate magic, completely different from other magic.
"I see."
Fu Yin nodded. Indeed, if they were teleported to a very, very far place, it would be dangerous. This world was very big, and many places were not suitable for life.
"But at least we have a way out. Thank you." She smiled. Reina also smiled indifferently, as if she had something on her mind.
"Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Fu Yin suddenly asked.
Reina nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't know if I should ask."
"Go ahead, I won't mind."
The other party replied.
Even so, Reina still had some concerns. In fact, other people knew very little about her.
"I want to know, do you regret embarking on this journey?"
Her words had always been unpredictable, and Fu Yin was inevitably a little surprised. But soon, she understood what the other party was thinking and why she asked this question.
The Dwarf Princess sighed and squeezed out a smile on her delicate little face.
"If I hadn't embarked on this journey, I would now be in a bustling city, continuing to enjoy a luxurious life that others dream of. I wouldn't have to be attacked by wild dogs and poisonous snakes, and I wouldn't have to get injured. When it rains, I wouldn't let my clothes get wet, and when it's cold, I wouldn't shiver. "
Thinking about it, in just half a year, she had experienced a lot of things, so much so that she felt that this half a year was longer than her previous life. Like every young boy and girl who embarked on a journey full of fantasy, she accepted the beating of reality. The adventure and journey were not easy at all. The forest was not a beautiful and peaceful holy land, but a place full of mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, and unknown beasts.
After embarking on the journey, she understood what it meant to be travel-worn. Most of the people who traveled were forced, and they were those who were displaced.
Fu Yin took a deep breath, shook her head, and said, "I don't think I regret it, even if this journey is full of disappointment and the results are not satisfactory. But I know that if I didn't take this step, I would never know what the outside world is like. I will always be that little girl who believes in adventure stories, always looking forward to an adventure, but not daring to take action, until the last moment of my life."
She looked at Reina, that pair of beautiful blue eyes with some vigilance and doubt.
"I don't want to be that kind of person and leave behind that kind of regret. Even if the result of this journey is disappointing, at least it's my journey. When I'm old, I can tell my children and grandchildren an extraordinary adventure story. That's enough."
Reina's eyes widened slightly. Her heart was touched, as if some kind of switch had been turned on.
Her own journey?
"By the way, I want you to do us a favor. We need you, Reina."
Fu Yin suddenly said.
