Finally, the old man called the 'Great Elder', who was undoubtedly communicating with the 'High Wall Knight' just a moment ago, bowed and saluted towards Antis and said respectfully:

"Your Highness, there is no extra manpower in the city for you to form an exploration team."

"And everyone is responsible for their own mistakes, and the same goes for you!" The old man's tone was respectful, but his words sounded a bit old-fashioned and tough.

"Uh..." Antis immediately shrank her head, completely losing the noble yet dignified temperament of the knight princess just now.

Li Re suddenly laughed: "She has made mistakes before?"

Even Antis, who always appears to be very cautious and serious in the real world, can make mistakes?

Seeing Li Re's gossiping look, the old man said sternly, "Everyone makes mistakes. If you make a mistake, you must make amends, correct it, and pay the due price for it. There is no need to force yourself to be a perfect saint."

"Your Highness, since you founded the Crucible Clan a few months ago and ignited your own soul to continue the furnace fire, which led to a break with the group of old people from the camp era who are now called Silver Moon, and you impulsively drove them all out of the Crucible City - then you should have thought of this day."

"The City Builders now control the Explorer Camp. You can't avoid them if you want to explore the ruins."

Is Antis still so impulsive?

Not just Li Re.

Even Lu Baixi was a little surprised.

Antis, with a slightly flushed face, faced the old man's stern eyes and thought that she was just a little extreme because of her father's sudden "death" - but she did not argue for herself, nor did she say too much, not only because she was in awe of this old man who had come from the camp era and was like an elder to her, but also because she really had no way to argue.

Wrong is wrong.

So she just took a deep breath and nodded.

"I understand."

"I will go to the Explorer Camp myself - to make up for the mistakes I made!"

"Then Your Highness, I'll leave it to you." The 'Great Elder' nodded, but this sentence was still not said to Antis in front of him, but to Li Re next to him.

Chapter 382: Sudden Rebellion

The rumbling sound of wheels rolling over the road was heard again inside and outside the high walls erected on the edge of the Crucible City. In front of the huge door that opened silently, the Crucible Knight in reddish-brown armor, the 'High Wall Guardian' Yablu Wilvis stood by the door and bowed his head to see off the huge and magnificent carriage that was being dragged out of the city by a burning dark giant who was also wearing the armor of the Crucible Knight.

The flag with the star and the moon engraved on it rolled wildly in the light of the small stove burning on the roof. The curtains in the carriage fell and the figures of people were looming. Standing on the back of the Furnace Giant, the "King's Knight" Alina looked back at the car from time to time, and the eyes hidden under the armor were more alert.

Yabulu just lowered his head quietly, listening to the sound of the wheels approaching and going away, feeling the afterglow of the burning 'furnace giant' gradually fading away...

You are so strong, Your Excellency the Great Elder!

He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the direction where the magnificent 'royal carriage' was leaving, and couldn't help but sigh!

That direction is undoubtedly the direction of the explorer camp where the 'Silver Moon' lineage, which was previously expelled from the Crucible City by Her Royal Highness the Princess, is now located.

At this moment, Yabulu finally realized the real purpose of the 'Great Elder' in allowing the 'Time Savior' to break into the meeting hall - he not only wanted to restore Her Royal Highness the Princess to her former state, but also wanted the Silver Moon lineage to return to the embrace of the Crucible City.

He took this opportunity to make a suggestion.

It is also necessary to make the 'Moon Princess' make up for the mistakes she once made!

I'm afraid that old man has been looking for this opportunity!

"As expected of a great elder who is strict in enforcing the law..."

Perhaps he is the only one who still thinks about the mistake that the Monarch made a few months ago and wants to make amends for it?

No wonder it still scares people today!

Just this bit of "holding a grudge" is enough to make people shudder.

As Yabulu thought so, he couldn't help but shudder when he recalled the disdainful and unconvinced attitude of the Great Elder when he spoke to him before.

broken.

Could it be that I am also being 'reminded'?

Although he temporarily escaped punishment because he was beaten by the Lord when he was rescued.

However, that 'Great Elder' didn't seem to be someone who gave up so easily.

On the other side, the rumbling sound of the rolling wheels gradually moved away from the Furnace City and stepped into the vast dark land. Although the car and the Furnace Giant appeared unusually bright, compared with the whole world, they were just insignificant like a firefly in the long night.

But the people in the front and inside of the car didn't feel anything.

Having lived in this world since childhood, Antis had long been accustomed to this darkness. At this moment, she sat upright in the carriage, in the space shrouded by the swaying curtains of the door, looking quite restrained and uneasy.

Although he had promised the Great Elder to make amends, he quickly prepared himself and set off at this moment.

But Antis still felt unsure.

“It’s so quiet out there.”

Li Re, who always set a flag for himself, withdrew his gaze from the scenery outside the car and said this - although there was actually no scenery, even if the pitch-black darkness like a dark curtain could not block the sight of high-level players, and the unchanging desolation and bleakness that he saw was not really a scenery, but he still confirmed it one last time.

Darkness has the ability to obscure perception, but even without using the power of psychic energy and relying solely on the physique of a silver-level player, in this environment where perception is blocked, Li Re can still clearly see every speck of dust in the dark world within a thousand-meter radius.

This is the limit of perception for all bronze players trying their best.

To Li Re, it was just a casual glance.

He confirmed that the 'Dark Giant' was no longer visible in the world. He couldn't help but sigh and turned his gaze to Antis, who was standing opposite him. He looked at the tall and graceful figure of the girl and asked, "You look nervous?"

"Uh... yeah."

The girl with loose blonde hair pursed her lips and nodded: "We have made such a big mistake... I don't know how to convince them to help us."

"Big mistake?"

When Li Re heard this, he remembered what the "Great Elder" had said before and couldn't help laughing: "So, impulse is the devil!"

Antis tried hard to keep a straight face, but his fair face couldn't help but turn red.

It's really... too embarrassing!

The beautiful girl sitting next to Li Re put on her glasses again but didn't say anything. She just pushed the frame of her glasses and blinked at Antis opposite her. She didn't say anything sharp or sarcastic.

At this moment it is no longer 'Lu Baixi', but 'Lu Baixi'.

If it were Lu Baixi, he would definitely take the opportunity to provoke the blonde girl opposite with a venomous tone, but Lu Baixi couldn't say anything like that.

She just thought about it, and spoke cautiously and softly: "Ms. Antis, don't worry."

"I don't think they will blame you." She said this somewhat lacking in confidence.

Antis smiled, but there was still worry between his brows: "Maybe..."

"Not maybe, but definitely." After Li Re was happy, he yawned and suddenly said, "What Lu Baixi said was not just some simple comfort--"

"The group of people defined as 'Silver Moon' by the current Crucible City should all be your elders, right?"

Antis was stunned, and was quite confused by what Li Re said.

Before he finished speaking, Li Re continued, "They broke up with you because you decided to use your soul as fuel to keep the furnace fire of the Furnace City burning—"

"That's your own statement."

"And don't forget, although the current furnace fire in the Furnace City is maintained by your soul, the huge furnace is always adding firewood...even if it is just a drop in the bucket, but those 'firewood' were all excavated from the ruins and found by the people of the 'Silver Moon' lineage."

"Although it's just a drop in the bucket, it seems that their approach is actually the same as ours - they all want to pull you out of the quagmire of Crucible City and even this world."

"They never took your expulsion to heart."

"So you just need to explain the whole story to them, sincerely apologize, and invite them back to Crucible City, and do your best to make amends - no one will blame you, and no one will not help you." Li Re spoke calmly, not in a comforting way but in a factual way: "The premise is that you can let go of your 'self-esteem'."

Antis took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand."

Lu Baixi who was standing next to her blinked her eyes after hearing what Li Re said. She had indeed grown a lot compared to before, but she had not thought about what Li Re said for the time being.

Well... As expected of A-re, he is so smart!

The beautiful girl jumped for joy for no apparent reason.

Antis couldn't help but smile.

Boom!

At this moment, the carriage whose wheels were rolling forward and being dragged by the huge "furnace giant" suddenly shook and stopped moving forward. The sound that came immediately startled the three people in the carriage.

"There's someone in front-"

"Your Highness, be careful."

"The King's Knight" Alina said so.

The three people in the car looked outside through the door covered with curtains, and they heard a rustling sound coming from the dark world ahead that was not illuminated by any light... Lu Baixi saw it clearly, Antis also saw it clearly, and Li Re, who was at a higher level, had a clear view of the scene in the dark.

They saw a real figure appear in the darkness, and coming in a hurry - with staggering steps!

“Help, help!”

The cry for help that came immediately startled the 'King's Knight' Alina, who was standing on the back of the furnace giant. She could not see the scene in the darkness, but she could clearly hear the voice that was obviously from a 'human'.

This is...

"Finally I saw the convoy - hurry up, take me back to Crucible City, I can't go any further, I can't go any further!"

"The Explorer Camp has rebelled! The people of the Silver Moon lineage have gone crazy!"

Rebellion?!

Hearing this, Alina's eyes suddenly froze.

Antis and Lu Baixi, who had just finished listening to Li Re's analysis in the car, were even more stunned. The girls subconsciously looked in the direction of Li Re - and then they found that he had disappeared.

Only a hazy and strange "ghost fog" was left on the spot.

When I saw the figure emerging from the darkness...

He left the car instantly.

As the figure approached while calling for help.

At the same time that the man finally arrived within the ten-meter radius that was brightly illuminated by the fire of the giant and the carriage.

The Crucible Knight standing on the giant's back saw the figure of the person coming clearly.

A stout old man with a bloated body, long hair and beard, dressed in a gray-brown long coat and dressed like a 'traveling merchant'. Under his thick hair and beard there are traces of distortion caused by being exposed to the furnace for a long time, revealing his identity as a resident of the 'Furnace City'.

The old man's hair and beard were disheveled and his clothes made him look extremely dishevelled. His face looked terrified and his whole body was shaking.

He ran and called for help, but couldn't help looking back from time to time, as if he was being chased by something...

The eyes of the 'King's Knight' under his armor were sharp and he subconsciously wanted to stop him from approaching Her Royal Highness the Princess's 'King'!

A hand suddenly stretched out from the endless darkness behind the old man.

Slowly but surely—

Grab his shoulders!

The old man's hairs suddenly exploded and his scalp numbed as he begged for mercy: "Let me go, let me go, don't kill me, it's none of my business, I didn't drive you away!"

"What are you talking about, old witch?"

A clear and crisp voice responded to his plea for mercy, and a figure walked out from the darkness with a natural look on his face.

"you..."

The old man who heard this strangely familiar voice turned around and was also stunned: "Mr. Fire Mage?"

Li Re, who had undoubtedly appeared behind the old man in an instant with the help of the 'ghost fog', nodded. He had already recognized that this man was the merchant from the caravan they had encountered earlier: "It's me."

"Phew... I was so scared, I thought we were being chased!"

The old man was relieved but still impatient: "But this is not important. Come on, Mr. Fire Mage, we have to go back to the city. The explorer camp is really rebelling. They are clamoring to return to the Crucible City and overthrow the furnace. They are crazy-"

"We must report the news to the Council Chamber immediately!"

"There's no need to report to the council. Just say it directly."

Li Re tilted his head and didn't say anything, but the voice still sounded... The old man was stunned when he heard the voice, and he turned his head again to look in front of him following the voice. Unlike the previous time when he hurriedly ran over and looked back and couldn't see clearly, this time he finally saw the true face of the convoy in front of him.

A huge figure wearing reddish-brown armor under the burning flames.

Standing on the back of the armored giant is the figure of a knight also wearing reddish-brown armor.

A magnificent carriage adorned with star-like red jade.

as well as,

The flags of the star and the moon hanging above the carriage——
