Chapter 526: 526
Chapter 526: Lorna. The Way to Enter the City of Freedom!
“Good, good. Good boy. Do you want to find the open and free city of Lorna? Alright, come to my room. Come, warm yourself up.”
As the old man spoke, he moved aside and made a gesture of invitation, inviting the few people at the door to enter. Joelson and G.o.dfrey looked at each other and saw the vigilance in each other’s eyes!
“This old man… be careful of a trap…”
G.o.dfrey said in a voice that only Joelson and himself could hear.
“Hmm… I think so too…”
Joelson also said warily.
It was not that they were afraid of the old man’s strength, but they were afraid of the enchantment in the room.
“Boys, it’s so cold outside. What are you waiting for? Come in quickly and warm up!”
The old man was still smiling and making an inviting gesture.
“Ah, old man, we’ve traveled a long way and came here from the other side. Our bodies are too dirty. We’re really embarra.s.sed to go in!”
Joelson said. Although he rejected the other party, he was quite vigilant.
“Good boy, good boy. I, an old man, won’t mind at all. Come in!”
The old man said with a smile.
It was hard to refuse such a kind offer. After thinking for a while, he decided to go in!
“Let’s go, G.o.dfrey. We can’t disappoint the old man.”
After saying that, he went straight into the old man’s old house.
“Okay…”
Seeing that he entered the house, G.o.dfrey strode into the house without much pretense.
“Sorry to disturb you!”
With an apologetic tone, Joelson entered the room.
The fire in the fireplace brought a warm feeling to the hearts of Joelson and G.o.dfrey.
“Come, come, come…”
The old man took out a kettle from the fireplace. The water in the kettle was boiling and steaming.
“Come, drink some hot water. It’s very cold outside!”
The old man took out two cups and gave each of them a cup of hot water.
“Phew… Thank you…”
Joelson picked up the cup and took a sip.
Seeing that Joelson drank it without any scruples, G.o.dfrey no longer doubted it and drank the hot water with him.
“Oh!”
G.o.dfrey’s eyes widened.
This hot water was not ordinary hot water. The warmth contained in it could actually directly release a comfortable warmth from his stomach.
“Phew… the cold repelling effect of this hot water makes me ashamed!”
Joelson sighed.
“Hehe, as long as it repels the cold, as long as it repels the cold!”
As he spoke, the old man carried the hot water bottle and gave a bottle of hot water to Hades who was waiting outside.
“Old sir, I’m really grateful. However, we still have urgent matters. We urgently need to find a free city, Lorna. May I ask if you know how to enter that lost city?”
Joelson asked the smiling old sir.
“Hahaha, young man, you are really impatient!”
The old sir said with a smile and put down the kettle in his hand.
“Alas, the entrance to that city is not here.”
The old sir said and sat down.
“We know!”
G.o.dfrey said and asked excitedly.
“So, old sir, do you know the location of that city?”
G.o.dfrey asked.
“Yes… no hurry!”
The old man said with a smile and sat down.
“That city, the entrance to Lorna is at the center of the Underworld! The Land of Freedom!”
The old man directly told them the location of Lorna’s entrance!
Joelson and G.o.dfrey did not expect that he would ask for the location of the city’s entrance so easily. The two of them looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other’s eyes.
Logically speaking, they should not have obtained Lorna’s location so easily. Shouldn’t they have paid something or searched for something?
Joelson and G.o.dfrey really did not expect that they would be able to obtain Lorna’s location so smoothly.
“Thank you!”
Joelson thanked him excitedly.
“Thank you, old sir!”
Joelson, who thanked him once again, was overjoyed.
“Let’s go. There’s no time to lose. We have to set off immediately. Thank you, old sir!”
Joelson thanked him once again and walked towards the door.
“Wait, child. There’s one more thing you must know!”
The old man did not let the two of them leave.
“Is there anything else, old man?”
Joelson stopped and asked.
“You know, young man, why is the entrance of Lorna not set here, but in the center of the Underworld, which is so far away, and the entrance set here, in this barren land, the land of eternal winter, to let you run so far?”
The old man asked with a smile.
“Ah, this…”
Joelson was suddenly stunned and began to think about this question.
“Old man, I don’t understand.”
After thinking for a while, Joelson really couldn’t understand.
“Don’t blame yourself, hehehehe…”
The old man waved his hand with a smile.
“To be honest, not many people can guess it.”
The old man continued, and at this moment, G.o.dfrey, who was also thinking, said loudly.
“Heh… could it be that the city lord of Lorna used such a method to test our patience and our sincerity to judge that we don’t have enough sincerity and perseverance to decide whether to let us enter Lorna?”
G.o.dfrey voiced out his own speculation.
“Hahaha…”
Hearing G.o.dfrey’s speculation, the old man immediately laughed out loud.
“You’re a smart young man!”
The old man first praised, then he counted to G.o.dfrey:
“But, you guessed wrong. Although the castellan does have such thoughts, this is not the most important problem, child.”
“Uh…”
G.o.dfrey, who was rejected, suddenly felt awkward.
After thinking for a while, G.o.dfrey suddenly had a new idea.
“Could it be that there are other ideas? Ah, I understand!”
G.o.dfrey slapped his forehead and said.
“Since it is not testing our hearts, then it must be testing our bodies!”
G.o.dfrey voiced out his reasoning.
“If we don’t have a strong physique and enter the mysterious free city of Lorna, we won’t be able to survive in there. This land of everwinter has a terrifying natural chasm, and that canyon with a great gravity is a test of our strength. If we don’t have enough strength, we won’t be able to reach this place and obtain the test of the land of everwinter. If we fall off the cliff, we’ll die without a complete corpse!”
