Everything went smoothly from then on... probably.
Rhodes was in a daze. He only remembered someone lifting him, the earth shaking, and swaying back and forth. When it finally stopped, he no longer had the energy to check anything. He fell into a deep sleep and woke up soon after.
Opening his eyes, the room was dark. Rhodes tried to get up, but he felt a pain in his body. His mind recalled the strange feeling after drinking. He tried to sit up and leaned against the wall.
The memory of being drunk gradually became clearer. Rod was a little panicked at first, but after recalling everything, he realized that he had not done anything out of the ordinary. Instead, he looked ridiculous because he could not drink too much.
Ugh... That's too bad.
Rod has never been good at drinking. He has a low alcohol tolerance and can easily get drunk after drinking a little. He remembers that the first time he drank, he said goodbye to his family and then went to Jiudunling.
Old Dunling, a beautiful city, a desperate city.
Many people yearn for this place, thinking they can get what they want here, but most of them end up falling in the dark alleys, decaying and decaying in the cold rain.
Rhodes still remembered the reason why he came to Jiudunling. By chance in his childhood, he learned about the existence of Jiuxia. Since then, he has been curious about this mysterious country.
I can remember that my earliest wish as a child was to become a captain. The Jiuxia people appeared from the other side of the ocean. As long as I sailed and followed their path, I would be able to find that mysterious country.
He was naive for a while, and later he realized that some people had tried it before, but they all got lost at sea in the end, as if that country was just an illusion and dream, and it only seemed real for a moment when they showed up on their own initiative.
Then it was time to study. Rhodes was just an ordinary person, and he was trying to get closer to this mysterious country in the way he could, until today.
Rod sighed and stood up shakily. Luckily, he didn't have a roommate, so no one would see him in such a messy state. He was also unlucky that he didn't have a roommate, otherwise Rod would really like to talk about something, anything.
This is underground, with no windows, just a buzzing fan.
He sat at the table but did not turn on the lights. In the dim light, familiar faces kept appearing in his mind.
Shao Liang Creek.
In the tavern, she casually recounted her imaginary memories. Obviously, that thing was so important, but from the casual conversation of Lorenzo and others, it could be heard that they didn't care.
Rhodes didn't understand. Perhaps this was the difference between him and them. He was just a civilian, an interpreter, while Lorenzo and the others were warriors who had realized their mistake long before they stepped into the darkness.
This is their difference. Lorenzo and others have become accustomed to many things, but Rhodes cannot accept them.
I don't fit in with them.
But Rhodes could endure all this. This was not only his job, but also everything he dreamed of. If possible, he really wanted to return to the Forgotten Wall with these Jiuxia people at the end of all this. He wanted to see the mysterious land with his own eyes.
Rhodes lay on the table and fell into a deep sleep.
…
"So... is this okay?"
Lorenzo and Shao Liangye stood in the corridor, neither of them returned to their rooms.
