I'm really not a Sanctuary Warlock.

Just live.

He sat up from the stone coffin, picked up Eve, and flipped her out of the coffin.

The stronghold where the fire was set was nearby.

Lynn carried Eve for less than three minutes before they saw Sain on patrol.

Sain saw a figure approaching from the shadows in the distance and instinctively drew the short sword from his waist.

But after recognizing Lynn, he was overjoyed.

"You...you're back?"

Sain's gaze fell on the unconscious black-haired woman in Lynn's arms, then he looked up at Lynn in shock.

"Is this the Watcher?"

Lynn nodded. "Take me to Nora."

Sain clearly had a million questions on his mind, but after looking at Lynn's expression, he swallowed them all.

"Come with me."

As the two passed through the underground passage and reached the entrance of the shelter, several dozing children were startled awake by the footsteps and rubbed their eyes, looking curiously at the person in Lynn's arms.

A little girl tugged at the sleeve of the adult next to her.

"Mom, that big brother is holding a big sister."

"Shhh."

Lynn pretended not to hear.

Nora's room light was still on.

Sain knocked three times on the door, and Nora's calm voice came from inside: "Come in."

The moment the door opened, Nora, who was engrossed in the map, looked up.

She saw the woman in white pajamas in Lynn's arms.

Nora's pupils contracted sharply in an instant.

"You actually found Watchers?"

"Ah."

Lynn's answer was brief.

Nora's lips trembled slightly.

She quickly stepped out from behind the table, came to Lynn, and checked on Eve's condition.

“I’ll take you to Lyra,” Nora said without hesitation.

The two walked through a short passageway and arrived at a cave that had been converted into a makeshift medical room.

The room was filled with the smell of herbs, and in one corner were piles of coarse cloth bandages and earthenware jars.

Leila was sorting medicinal herbs under the lamp.

"Lyra!" Nora's voice was very anxious.

Leila turned her head, her gaze quickly sweeping over the person in Lynn's arms. "Put them here."

She patted a stone platform next to her that was covered with a clean linen cloth.

Lynn carefully placed Eve on it.

Leila stepped forward and began the examination.

"The erosion from the abyss is receding, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

Just then.

Eve's eyelids suddenly twitched.

Lynn subconsciously glanced at Eve's body.

The black pollution that was still writhing and gnawing in the land of the underworld is receding.

Just as Arthur said, the black pollution that was eroding Eve's soul originated from the Netherworld itself.

Once you leave that area, the pollution will disappear.

But before Lynn could even breathe a sigh of relief, Eve on the stone platform suddenly opened her eyes.

Those were a pair of extremely beautiful gray-blue eyes, filled with a sense of bewilderment and emptiness, as if they had just awakened from a deep sleep.

Her gaze slowly swept over the dim yellow light overhead, over Lyra standing to the side, and over Nora, whose face was filled with shock.

Finally, it stopped on Lynn's face, which was closest to her.

Where am I?

Nora stepped forward, her voice trembling with emotion.

“Eve… Lady Eve! You’re awake, you’re finally awake.”

Eve blinked, shifting her gaze from Nora's face to her own white pajamas and the unfamiliar surroundings.

"How did I get back?"

"I was commissioned by Nora to enter the Land of the Underworld and bring you back."

Lynn answered directly.

Eve stared at him for two seconds, then slowly propped herself up.

Lyra instinctively reached out to help her, but Eve simply raised her hand slightly, indicating that it wasn't necessary.

She looked around the simple medical room and then asked her second question.

Where is my sword?

Lynn didn't waste any words and directly took out the longsword and the dark giant shield.

Eve's gaze fell on the longsword first.

She reached out and slowly picked up the sword.

The light on the sword had long since been extinguished.

The texture that once flowed with dazzling gold is now dull and lifeless.

Eve's expression remained largely unchanged.

But Lynn saw tears sliding down her cheeks.

She didn't cry out loud; a single tear quietly slid down her cheek to her chin and then dripped onto the sword.

"elder brother."

Leila silently took two steps back, giving them space.

Lynn stood there, silently watching the scene unfold.

He didn't offer any words of comfort.

Any words are superfluous at a time like this.

Eve held the longsword to her chest and lowered her head.

A full minute of silence.

Then, she raised her head.

The tear stains were still there, but her gray-blue eyes had regained their clarity.

She looked at Lynn.

"What's your name?"

"Lynn."

Eve's gaze lingered on him for a moment, as if trying to remember the name.

“Lynn,” she repeated, but with an added air of solemnity.

"This shield... did you retrieve it from the Guardian?"

"Ah."

Eve lowered her head and glanced at the dark giant shield standing beside the stone platform.

That was her brother's weapon.

After being modified by the evil god, it became the most despair-inducing piece of armor in the hands of the guardian.

"It's dead?"

"died."

Lynn paused, then added a sentence.

“Arthur killed him himself.”

Eve's fingers tightened slightly as she held the sword.

She didn't ask for details or the process.

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke softly.

"Like what he would do."

After saying that, she never mentioned it again.

Eve placed her longsword beside her and slowly stood up, supporting herself on the stone platform.

Her legs felt a little weak, but she swayed for a moment before regaining her balance.

Leila couldn't help but step forward: "Your body is still very weak, you should rest first."

“The erosion has stopped; I can feel it.”

“At least eat something first,” Nora said, but her slightly red eyes betrayed her emotions. “You’ve been asleep for a long time; your body needs time to recover.”

Eve looked at Nora, and a hint of warmth finally appeared in her gaze.

"Thanks a lot."

These words instantly brought tears to Nora's eyes again.

She bit her lip, nodded vigorously, turned around and quickly went out to arrange the food.

Only Lynn, Eve, and Lyra remained in the medical room.

Although Leila was incredibly curious, her professional ethics as a doctor kept her quiet. She simply retreated to a corner to organize the medicinal herbs, giving the two of them some space.

Eve stood by the stone platform, her bare feet touching the cold ground, her gaze fixed on the longsword in her hand.

After a while, she suddenly spoke.

Who are you?

This issue is being taken much more seriously than before.

Lynn thought for a moment and gave the simplest answer.

"A sorcerer from Orentia."

Eve gave him a noncommittal look.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Lynn didn't beat around the bush; Burning Fire told me, "You can help us defeat the Abyss Bishop."

"The Abyss Bishop?"

"The City of Holy Song has been occupied by the Abyss Order. A very powerful Abyss Bishop is presiding over human sacrifices and has built an obelisk."

"Our men can't beat him."

Eve paused for a moment.

"Holy Song City...has fallen?"

Her grey-blue eyes flickered slightly.
