Among the more than ten people who fell from the cave at that time, the team led by Tiona was found by Jiang Li and successfully rescued them.
But another wave of people were not so lucky.
Riveria, Lefiya, and Fairwis found the exit of the underground waterway by accident, but the other four people had no cadres following them.
By the time Riveria and reinforcements found them, the bodies were no longer warm.
"They died armed with curses."
Aisi's face also overflowed with sadness, biting her lips.
"...Where's the name?"
After an unspeakable silence, Jiang Li asked.
"Lloyd, Xingshu, Remilia...and Line."
Tiona showed grief and anger as she spoke out the names one by one.
Is it a side effect of mental failure? Jiang Li couldn't react for a while.
After coming back to his senses, he realized what had happened.
He heard a very familiar name.
Line?
That girl with braids?
The Level 2 therapist, the gentle girl who leveled with him in the dungeon?
Dead?
…………
Orario's southeastern district.
There is a cemetery lined with countless tombstones.
Adventurers who have made outstanding achievements since ancient times, especially the ancient heroes, have their tombstones set on huge monuments in the front yard of the guild headquarters, and even statues are left for future generations to worship.
However, adventurers who are unknown or even die without intact bodies will have their belongings collected by their relatives or dependents and buried in this first cemetery, also known as the Adventurer Cemetery.
The weather is not good today, and there is a drizzle of rain falling in the cloudy sky.
In a corner of the cemetery, the Loki family spent a lot of money to occupy this place and built several graves and tombstones. The four people who died in this operation were buried there.
"Ahem!"
A violent coughing sound approached from behind.
"According to Loki, the souls of people on earth will return to heaven after death, and then reincarnation will be arranged by the gods, so it is not considered an eternal separation."
Finn covered his mouth to suppress the violent rise and fall of his chest.
His face was pale, his breath was listless, his spirit was very weak, and he looked sickly.
The curse on Revis's sword was so terrible that it greatly damaged his body. Even with Ahmed's personal treatment, he could not recover immediately.
"But after a person is reincarnated, does it still have anything to do with this life?"
Jiang Li stood in front of the tombstone and asked Finn in a low voice.
"...Who knows."
Finn thought for a while, and wanted to nod his head to admit it, but in the end he still couldn't say it firmly.
"Is this your first time experiencing the death of someone close to you?"
"Yes."
"Then you are really strong."
Finn sighed.
"Many people in the family members cried for a long time."
It’s been a long time since anyone in the Loki Familia died.
To be precise, since the Dark Faction was eliminated five years ago, despite the occasional pain, due to the efforts of the entire group, not a single person in the Loki Familia has died.
But just this time in the man-made maze, four people died in one breath.
This is the first time for many people to experience the death of a companion. Everyone's face is clouded, and some people are crying in pain. The atmosphere of the entire family is very depressed.
"This is my responsibility."
Finn frankly admitted his fault.
"If I hadn't been defeated by Revis, I wouldn't have ended up like this. After all, I should have listened to your words from the beginning."
Jiang Li stopped him several times, thinking that the man-made maze was too dangerous and it was too early to conquer it now.
However, out of concern for Orario's safety, Finn resolutely chose to lead the attack.
"So, you don't have to blame yourself."
Finn paused for a moment and finally said.
"You have done well enough, far better than me."
According to Aisi, he has been standing in this cemetery for a long time.
After hearing this, he ran here regardless of Riveria's obstruction.
Fenn felt that he had a lot of responsibility in this matter. After all, he was the one who took orders from Jiang Li in critical situations. If Jiang Li felt guilty because of this, he had the responsibility to comfort him.
If it weren't for Jiang Li, more people from Loki's family would have died. Maybe the entire family would have been buried in that maze. It was very rare that he could rescue so many people. Finn felt that he might not even be able to do this.
.
"Finn."
Jiang Li suddenly laughed.
"If I ask you not to blame yourself now, can you do it?"
Finn suddenly didn't know what to say.
He asked himself, it was impossible not to blame himself.
"So it turns out that I am forcing others to do something difficult."
Finn nodded with understanding and simply gave up the persuasion.
Jiang Li stood in front of the tombstone.
Unlike other members of the clan who cried loudly, the look on his face was very calm.
Of course he blames himself.
He felt it was his responsibility to take everyone out alive.
No, even if there is no responsibility and Finn is not ordered to do so in danger, just from a emotional point of view, he still feels that he should do that and he should do it.
But he didn't do it.
It would have been nice if I had taken a step forward.
It would be nice if there was no coma.
Such thoughts fill my mind.
"Don't worry, Finn, I won't be carried away by anger."
Whether it was his eyes, his face, or even his micro-movements, Finn did not see any sign that he was overwhelmed by anger.
But this is impossible.
Although they didn't get along for long, he knew that Jiang Li was a person who cared about his companions.
For him, the surrounding one-third of an acre is a restricted area.
However, not everyone will choose to vent themselves when facing loss.
There is also a kind of person, the angrier he is, the calmer he becomes.
It’s even more terrifying.
"Loki said this is the beginning of war."
Although Finn's face turned pale, a very powerful smile appeared on his lips.
"The Loki Familia have never been the type to bite their teeth and swallow blood after suffering a loss. After all, they have such a main god, so revenge can be put on the agenda."
The Loki Familia are like wolves. Even if they are injured, they will not flinch. They will only lick the wounds and then tangle with their companions to tear the enemy apart with their sharp claws.
"Go back, your mental state is not good, and there are still people who are worried about you."
Finn gestured slightly behind him.
Jiang Li turned around.
The blond girl was standing in the distance, her thin body soaked in the rain quietly, her eyes looking this way frequently.
"There will be a chance to come back."
Jiang Li said in his heart to the four people buried underground.
This is the first time he has experienced the death of a companion.
But he swore that this would be the last time.
The drizzle gradually passed away like silk, and the sun shone from the sky.
Jiang Li turned around, followed the footsteps of the two people in the distance, and left this silent courtyard of the dead.
