There's also the fear of losing teammates.

And the waiting and worry of his fiancée inside the wall.

Sorum didn't want to selfishly choose his own dream and cause his fiancée worry, especially since she was still as gentle and considerate as ever.

In order to be able to welcome Solum back from his investigation outside the wall as soon as possible, he even joined the Garrison Regiment.

"How far can this device move at most?"

Sorum's enthusiasm surprised Lin Yan; his eyes were sparkling, even more excited than when he saw his fiancée.

Thirty meters.

"So it's impossible to cross that...wall... in one go?"

"It is related to the length of the wire, but increasing the length will definitely increase the weight. What I need to do next is to strike a balance between these two points. I need to ensure the length of the wire while ensuring that the weight does not increase too much, or even reduce the weight."

Even Lin Yan, who was familiar with the plot and had a certain level of understanding of the giants.

This will also be a difficult problem for him to overcome.

Material.

It was something we figured out gradually through trial and error.

"But you've already done a remarkable job. You know, so far, you're the only one who's been able to do this. No wonder they all say you're the hope. As for me, I can only serve as a soldier on the front lines and apply your achievements to the battle."

"Sorum said."

He greatly admired Lin Yan.

Senovon was still somewhat smug at this point, despite Lin Yan's guidance. However, the weapon was indeed forged by Senovon.

"With my short sword, I'm sure it will be twice as effective."

He displayed the dagger to the people; it was indeed different from the other knives.

It exudes a formidable sharpness under the sunlight.

It looks very sharp.

Most importantly, it is also very durable.

And it's very light.

Its numerous advantages have greatly improved its performance, making it a world of difference compared to the previous heavy and easily broken blades.

"You'd better stop waving it around. Not only might you hurt someone, but if it cuts your face, it could slice off your skin and tendons."

The sharpness of the black bamboo exceeded everyone's expectations. The only one who wasn't surprised was Lin Yan, since he already knew about it.

Furthermore, Senofon is indeed somewhat exaggerated, and his self-praising manner is rather amusing.

"It's all thanks to Lin Yan."

Corina praised with a smile, saying that Lin Yan was the most impressive person in her mind. He was someone she had always admired and her admiration for him had never wavered or changed.

"Haha, Corina still likes Lin Yan so much."

Someone said it jokingly.

Corina blushed immediately; she was, after all, a young girl, and to be talked about like that in public.

She glanced at Lin Yan furtively, but Lin Yan didn't say anything.

But she blushed again.

"These ice-exploding stones can explode, so you'd better be careful."

"Senovon said somewhat nervously."

"As long as we are careful, nothing will happen."

The craftsmen trusted Lin Yan completely, believing that nothing unexpected would happen under his care.

The journey there was arduous, but the return trip was much easier, especially for Corinna, who no longer experienced motion sickness.

They even started to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Chatting with Lin Yan was Corinna's favorite thing to do, bar none.

Everyone felt a sense of unease, because the attack by the anti-establishment organization made them somewhat wary, but security measures on the way back were not strengthened.

Although Lin Yan is very powerful.

But it's not the possibility of something happening that's scary, it's the possibility of something happening in the future.

They finally arrived in the Trost district around noon.

This speed is pretty good.

Lin Yan arranged for them to rest here and have something to eat to replenish their energy. In addition, Corinna is a girl and needs some care as well.

The sun was setting at that moment.

The setting sun withdrew its myriad golden needles, its rosy face revealing a touch of shyness, hanging obliquely on the western mountaintop, gazing longingly at the lovely human world.

The stream rippled with shimmering light, displaying magical colors, making it seem like a magnificent crystal palace, hiding countless dazzling treasures. The willows, tall and short, swayed gracefully in its glow, and the chirping of birds created a scene truly like a fairytale world.

However, the truth is that such a world is actually a world fraught with crises.

Fortunately, they had reached the vicinity of the city gate in the Shiganshina district.

Seeing the city gate of Shiganshina, everyone's tense hearts relaxed a little, especially Corinna.

"After a week, I'm finally back. On the way there, I thought I was going to die out there. It was a really nerve-wracking experience, but the trip back was relatively smooth, so I'm still very happy."

A smile appeared on Corinna's face.

In fact, many people agree with her statement.

"It was a worthwhile trip."

"Sinovon said."

Corina didn't actually have many complaints about the trip; she just felt that everyone was too embarrassed to complain, and since she was a girl, not many people would object if she said it.

"It's good enough that we've gained something during this time. It's worth spending so much time in such a boring place, where there aren't even any entertainment facilities."

"Yeah, the rest of the time is so boring."

"Finally home."

"But it was a good experience, otherwise we would never have had the opportunity to go to such a far place."

Corina said with a smile.

The others also expressed their agreement.

By this time, the covered wagon had arrived at the city gate.

"After we get home, our gas stove will finally come in handy, and I'm sure my family will be very happy."

"I feel like everyone will be happy."

"Yes, especially some of the higher-ups. They probably didn't expect us to have such a huge haul, haha."

The secrets of the Ice Blast Stone are little known.

Lin Yan wasn't even sure what the higher-ups in the government were thinking, let alone Sorum and his group.

"Why are there so many people?"

"It's so lively."

"Really."

"Why is it so lively, like a market?" As their covered wagon passed through the gate, everyone looked puzzled.

What exactly is going on?

The crowd was dense, and the noisy sounds puzzled Senovon, who also sensed something unusual.

That oppressive atmosphere.

"Has something happened?"

Solum pointed into the distance, his expression very solemn, as he could already see the "Wall of Mary" and its main gate in his field of vision.

There seemed to be a large crowd gathered there, and it looked quite crowded.

Why do I have this feeling of unease?

Corina's heart skipped a beat, her eyelids twitched incessantly, and Lin Yan also seemed to sense something was wrong. The people were packed tightly together, their eyes filled with terror, as if they wanted to flee.

We are still some distance from the main entrance to the Wall of Mary.

"Or is it to welcome the Survey Corps? It's only when the Survey Corps returns that it's so lively and crowded."

Corina tried to reassure herself, but she was still a little uneasy.

However, the Survey Corps has never had such popularity. A quick glance revealed that there were already more than a thousand people.

Is this an expedition?

The crowd gathered included not only civilians but also a considerable number of soldiers standing ready. Had something happened? Even a minor brawl wouldn't attract so many soldiers. Was it a large-scale conflict?

Is it anti-establishment?

"Probably not."

It was a very tense atmosphere, and Lin Yan saw things in more detail than they did; he knew that things were definitely not simple.

"faster."

Lin Yan said, and Sorum immediately sped up.

As they drew closer, they could see more clearly. The crowd was indeed large, but their complexions were very unhealthy—pale, with bloodshot eyes, and some were even panting heavily.

Such rapid breathing, and that black outfit.

Each of them faced the "Wall of Mary" and chanted incantations, howling like demons crawling out of hell.

This eerie atmosphere made people feel uncomfortable.

"Something definitely isn't right."

Corina disliked this feeling and shrank back slightly, finding some safety in hiding behind Lin Yan, while everyone else stared at the crowd. Sorum wasn't afraid of these people, but he didn't have time to mock the timid Corina.

Corina muttered to herself, "What's going on here? What are they doing? Why is it so strange?"

"Or something bad has happened, and it's a serious matter."

Senofon was an exceptionally astute man; he could sense major events and detect the signs of trouble.

"Who are these people?"

"Just by looking at his appearance, don't you know who he is?"

"From their frenzied behavior, we can guess their identities! These people are quite a strange bunch."

0054 The City Wall Cult [Please Subscribe]

Corina seemed to understand something, and she exclaimed in sudden realization, "Are all these people believers in the city walls?"

Lin Yan also knew something about these people.

Before the fall of the Wall of Mary, the Wall Religion was a very small religion with virtually no power.

After the city walls were destroyed, the central government discovered that the City Wall Cult did indeed know some secrets. Therefore, it can be said that at this time, the City Wall Cult was a government-supported religion and also a component of the central government.

The higher-ups' greater goal is to stabilize public sentiment, prevent more people like the Survey Corps from "wanting to go outside the wall," and maintain political stability.

One of the more important figures who appears later in the series is Father Nick.

As a priest of the "Wall Church," a religious organization that worships the wall, he was a church leader who worshipped the wall as a deity.

This religion is an organization that suddenly gained popular support in 845. Its followers regard the city wall as God's masterpiece and insist on opposing any reinforcement, renovation or other modifications to the city wall. However, this is actually a smokescreen deliberately released by the church to prevent the secret of the city wall from being discovered by others.
