Chapter 315 - 3 Travel
Frankly speaking, Gela and Lisidorwei moving in doesn’t really affect anything. After all, Modoh doesn’t really care about such matters. The worst outcome would be getting killed by Gela, and then reincarnating again. How long would she chase after him? That’s a question. He didn’t like death.
After all, no one has ever killed him; the experience of dying is unpleasant. So, if possible, he would prefer not to die.
But if Gela is relentless, then there’s no choice.
He knew that all he needed to do was wait.
Recently, there have been quite a few new faces in town, presumably following Lisidorwei or Gela, though they haven’t made any grand moves.
Modoh openly spoke with the two of them: "I have no objections if you’re colluding with someone or something; just don’t reveal my identity, it would be very troublesome."
"I wouldn’t do that," Gela answered first, "I hope you can give me an answer."
"I won’t reveal your identity either," Lisidorwei quickly expressed her opinion.
Of course, Modoh was just saying, if the identity got leaked, it would be normal, and maybe smart people would guess... that’s also a very normal thing.
He continued working at the tavern, as if the two girls had never appeared.
However, Gela clearly didn’t intend to give up. Modoh thought, she probably knew that he couldn’t actually give her an answer, but she kept persuading herself to believe that he could.
Taking it as the last straw to hold onto, to maintain her inner self.
The person is probably at her limit.
So, this entanglement is surely not going to end.
After showing the astrological results to Gela and seeing her unchanged, Modoh was sure this girl was in conflict with the beliefs of her ’original teammates’, and after breaking away on some level, had reached her limit, approaching the brink of mental collapse.
Truly pitiful.
Thus, one day, he suddenly resigned to the manager.
"You..."
"I need to deal with that matter, she’s a bit too annoying."
Jillian seemed a bit reluctant: "But she’s genuinely focused on you, is it really fair to say she’s annoying?"
"Perhaps."
He found Gela and Lisidorwei: "You want answers, right? Come travel with me."
Suddenly bringing up such a topic made Gela and Lisidorwei quite confused.
Modoh said, "My wisdom comes from my understanding of this world. In the past years, I’ve measured the land beneath my feet with my footsteps. I’ve watched with my eyes, listened with my ears, observed this world, thought about this world... if you want answers, then do this."
Gela’s eyes lit up: "That’s a great suggestion! During our quest against you, perhaps, the journey was too short, the purpose too strong. Yes, we should travel, to witness the look of this world."
This was clearly an answer that suited Gela’s taste, while Lisidorwei seemed to have thought of something, she only said: "I will follow your will."
With such a dialogue, the journey was set.
They set off lightly without bringing much, not really needing to—after all, whether Lisidorwei or Modoh, their magic was very convenient. Although Modoh didn’t plan to restore much of his power, now that the Hero had arrived, slowly restoring some power was also fine.
Gela’s own strength was strong, too.
Thus, they quietly embarked on their journey.
This journey actually had no endpoint, not even a fixed route. They first went to Butuo City, the city that sealed Modoh’s arm. In the past, Lisidorwei controlled it. As a volcano city, it had many specialties; they even found a natural hot spring nearby and took a bath.
Witnessing the local customs there, then they continued forward.
According to Modoh’s thinking, this journey should be very long, probably anticipating around two hundred years.
After all, he, Gela, and Lisidorwei could all pass through these years.
But the war started.
The cause was—Gela’s disappearance.
One day, Hero Gela suddenly disappeared from the public eye, and then, the suppressed contradictions in the world began to break out layer by layer, beginning with the alliance between the Elf race and Dwarf race to jointly oppose the Human Central Empire. While the Curse Master Alliance that should have sided with the humans stood with the mixed-race alliance of dwarves and elves,
within the human camp, the White Church and Alchemist Association fell out, and the conflicts between them became almost irreconcilable. The Mage Union, on the other hand, was closely tied with the Human Central Empire in war...
Under such circumstances, wars kept breaking out.
Before the journey began, the world seemed peaceful, but after setting out—everywhere was engulfed in flames of war.
From the start of the journey, it’s been two years.
"Can’t sleep?"
Modoh emerged from the tent and saw Gela sitting by the river. The girl was hugging her legs, quietly watching the river, gazing at the reflection of the moonlight in the water: "If I hadn’t left, wouldn’t the war have erupted?"
"At this point, are you still saying such things? Do you think if you were here, this war wouldn’t have erupted? Even then, you’d have to make choices... Rather, didn’t you come to me because you already felt it? The ambition hidden beneath your former companions’ shell, the flames of imminent conflict, everyone thinks they’re righteous, everyone thinks they’re sacrificing, everyone feels they’re the grand contributor, but often push the world into irreversible abysses. You came to me to solve such problems, didn’t you?"
