Latest URL:. The world was spinning, as if the tower itself was shaking violently. Supporting the wall, the familiar voices in his ears disappeared one by one. The familiar figures no longer appeared in the oil paintings on the wall. It seemed to be many, many years, or it seemed to be just a few minutes. Xia De, who was supporting the wall and moving forward, finally saw the firelight appearing from higher up the spiral stone steps. He knew he had finally arrived.

Xia De didn't want to think about whether those tortures were what he thought in his heart or if something was really simulating their voices. If he had encountered this kind of problem a few weeks ago, he would probably have really been damaged here. But he already understood his thoughts, and he also admitted his baseness and greed. Since he had already done the wrong thing, he would make up for them with his whole life, just like he promised Lei Qianya in the hotel yesterday afternoon.

Even supporting the wall, his body was almost unable to walk. He tried hard to finish the last few steps, but at this moment, he felt someone gently pulling his clothes from behind. It was just a gentle pull, but it seemed that the force had the weight of ten thousand jun.

The person behind him asked:

"This time, have you really made up your mind, never to be confused again, never to regret again, and to give everyone happiness?"

That was Luweiya's voice, but if you listened carefully, it was clearly not just one person's voice. It was countless familiar voices superimposed together, and then asked this question. He could think of many familiar faces and could think of the many, many stories he had experienced with them so far:

"I am your loyal knight." I answered in a low voice.

"Then, keep your word."

The force pulling the back of his clothes disappeared. Xia De looked back, but could only see the dark stairs shrouded in white fog. There was no one there. Xia De knew that those people had already been taken back into his heart by him.

This witch with brown hair similar to Audrey and Megan bowed formally to Xia De to apologize:

Miss Higgins felt a little embarrassed. She pointed to the bonfire:

"I'm really sorry, very sorry, I really didn't know it would be like this. After we leave, I will give you... one-tenth, no, one-fifth of my future mithril mine. Please forgive me."

"Those are not important anymore, Mrs. Miles, please start the story."

The old woman took out a notebook and took out ink mixed with blood and gold powder. Miss Higgins also came to the bonfire and sat down, asking curiously:

The elderly Mrs. Miles shook her head, with a smile on her face that was flushed red by the firelight:

Xia De, who understood, looked at the black shadow standing in the corner: Xia De nodded:

Miss Higgins nodded with a smile, but before the old man's last memory began, Xia De went to the black shadow in the corner first, wanting to understand what the other party could sell.

"What did you trade with it?" The black shadow shook his head.

Although his injuries had recovered, he was truly tired in his heart. Under Miss Higgins' worried gaze, he came to the fire and sat with Mrs. Miles. Miss Higgins' spirit was difficult to recover here, so she didn't treat Xia De herself, but chose a bottle from the remaining few potions she carried and handed it to Xia De:

Because his brain had just returned to normal, he hadn't realized his miserable appearance. Seeing Miss Higgins walk over with concern, he finally realized something was wrong.

"That was a long time ago, but I remember it very clearly. That was also in the clock tower, yes, just like now. There were many people in our village, and the clock tower in the village existed since I was born. The clock tower was the highest position in the village. When I was a child, I often played in the clock tower with my partners."

"The ordinary method certainly cannot leave this place, but I know there is an existence that can definitely send you away safely. However, let's discuss the matter of leaving after Mrs. Miles' last story ends and the soul that hasn't returned home for a long time appears."

"What happened to you? Are you okay?"

This clock tower of unknown height was a clock tower, but it was not a clock tower with complex mechanical devices like Tobesk, but an old-fashioned clock tower with only one bronze bell.

Useless.

The witch asked, and Xia De talked about his experience just now. From winning the bet against the demon and freeing the girl's soul, to the strange projects encountered in the camp, until the crisis at the lighthouse... Of course, he was embarrassed to say in detail what he heard and saw. Although he saw himself clearly, there was no need to tell others.

"I see..."

Although a little embarrassed, she still asked like this.

The witch was frightened by Xia De, not because of his sudden appearance, but because of his miserable state at the moment:

【Your resistance to illusions is greatly enhanced.】

At this time, the white balance was placed by the fire. Miss Higgins and Mrs. Miles brought a large bag when they went deep into the camp, which contained things that might be needed.

The young witch felt confused about this, and Mrs. Miles didn't know what had happened. But Xia De understood.

"Madam, I remember you said that you and your lover, Mr. Richard Knight Jackman, parted at the intersection of the road in front of the village. So the last memory is about the memory of parting?"

The area of the top floor was not very large. The bronze bell rolled to the side, and there was a huge window on each of the walls that tilted inward from bottom to top, which was convenient for the bell sound to spread out.

Although Xia De's body and soul were like experiencing an illusion, without any damage, the mud and ash on his clothes and skin and his own blood would not disappear by themselves.

"When parting, it wasn't just me and him, there were other people seeing us off. After he received the lord's conscription order and decided to participate in the battle in the distance as a knight, he once told me his decision alone and said goodbye to me alone."

The young witch asked again. Although she had never experienced love, she was really curious about it.

"It's okay, but please let me rest for a while."

Although Xia De felt very good, his appearance really frightened Miss Higgins.

Now that Xia De appeared again, Miss Higgins suddenly felt that the trouble was at least half solved:

Miss Higgins stood by the bonfire, the tired Mrs. Miles sat by the fire, and there was an elusive black shadow in the corner.

"Where is that?"

"The demon outside the camp didn't lie. We did come here according to its guidance. In this tower, there is a way to let us leave the camp, but we haven't found it yet. When Mrs. Miles came here, she was already dying, and at that time the torch in our hands was about to go out, and there was no bonfire here originally..."

Xia De understood that this disaster was definitely not caused by the witch in front of him. The rule of the camp is that whoever buys things pays, and Miss Higgins' test fell on him, which only means that someone can manipulate the most basic rules of the camp - fairness.

Because his body recovered too quickly, when he stepped over the last step and reached the flat ground, he even felt that his feet were like being installed with springs, light and airy. His body and soul showed no signs of damage, and it was even more comfortable than waking up after a night's sleep and watching the sunrise by the window with Mia in his arms.

"I originally thought that once I left the light of the bonfire, I would encounter a test, so I was scared and didn't dare to move here. Not long ago, I noticed that the number of coins on me was two less, so I knew you had come, so I wanted to wait for you to find me and then discuss how to deal with the test. I just didn't expect..."

As for the current situation, the relic - 【Golden Memories】 that only needed to write down the last memory to summon the soul was brought here, so as long as they found a way to leave, their adventure would be over.

"Okay, okay, no problem."

It was not just recovering to normal. The freezing cold that froze the soul everywhere in the camp completely disappeared. Because of the appearance of the firelight on the top floor, the white fog became thin and could no longer block his sight.

The huge bronze bell rolled to the wall, and the position where the bronze bell was originally in the center of the top floor now had a bonfire burning fiercely. The flame was clearly exactly the same as the bonfire outside the White Fog Camp.

"Something to soothe the spirit, you need this."

Xia De thanked him softly, and after drinking the potion with a mint flavor,

he really felt much better.

"You will help us, right?"

Miss Higgins immediately agreed, and Mrs. Miles on the side also breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was quite happy.

He lowered his head to look at his chest, and then looked at the traces on the sleeves of his arms by the firelight, knowing in his heart that this set of clothes was ruined.

Xia De said, and then pointed to the white balance.

Who was joking with him, he would know in a while. As for that white balance, it came from everyone's first transaction. Although it was just an ordinary item, it was very important in the camp.

"I didn't expect that I paid the money, but the test fell on you."

Miss Higgins pursed her lips and showed an apologetic expression, and Mrs. Miles on the side said for her:

【Outsider, your soul has become stronger.】

Staring blankly behind him, then pursing his lips and continuing to climb upward, every step he took felt like his body was becoming lighter. By the time Xia De reached the end of the stairs, the very top of the high tower, he even felt that he had completely recovered to normal.

It's just that the black shadow remained motionless in the face of the approaching Xia De, even if he picked up the balance, there was no reaction.

"It's okay, I don't want your mithril mine. However, if this can be taken away, it belongs to me."

"The black shadow inside the tower is quite unusual. You definitely can't guess what kind of goods it has, but you can see for yourself in a while. This place sells bonfires that can be laid on the top of the tower. I saw that Mrs. Miles was really dying at the time, so I made the decision to trade. However, most of the special items sold by this black shadow cannot even be fully traded with coins. The price of this bonfire is five coins, plus a test of the heart."
