“That was too f*cking scary. We almost died there this time.”

Alan sat on the ground without any care of his image.

He did not care about the dust on his magic robe at all.

In the past, he had paid attention to his appearance even when when he was on adventures.

One could imagine how scared he was now.

Lisa was no better than him.

She covered her chest that was moving up and down with her hands.

She had always taken it for granted during her previous adventures.

She thought that with the holy water in her possession, she didn’t need to be afraid no matter what happened.

After all, the holy water could heal all injuries.

But this time, her opponent didn’t even care about the holy water and was directly threatening her life.

This made her feel a lingering fear — so the holy water was not omnipotent.

When faced with a problem that was beyond the holy water’s ability, even the holy water could not save her life.

However, just as the two of them sat on the ground with no care of their image, Lisa suddenly remembered and asked, “Do we really have to bring gold coins back to the castle? Let me say this first. No matter what, I’m never going to the castle again!”

Lisa immediately drew a line between herself and this matter.

She indicated that she had nothing to do with this matter anymore.

Not for a million bucks would she ever go to the castle again.

However, if Lisa thought so, so did Alan.

Gold coins? What a joke. Whoever was willing to go could go.

Either way, he definitely wouldn’t go.

That wasn’t a castle at all, it was clearly the lair of some kind of monster.

It was terrifying, and there was something strange about it everywhere.

Powerful maidservants, strange castle materials, and the mysterious Master of the castle.

They had even lost John and Jack on the trip.

In Alan’s heart, the castle was already equivalent to being ominous and unfortunate.

Even if he were asked to go out on adventures again, not in a million years would he be willing to go back to the castle.

Hearing this, Lisa nodded at first, but then she paused.

“What about Ron? He’s still there.”

Ron was still waiting for the gold coins at the castle as a hostage.

If the two of them just left without returning, wasn’t this a little inappropriate?

However, when Alan heard Lisa mention Ron, he laughed out loud.

“Bring the gold coins back to save Ron? Why should we?”

When Lisa heard Alan’s question, she was taken aback.

“Ron is from our family. It can also be said that he’s being held hostage there for our sake. If we don’t go back, wouldn’t it be a little immoral?”

Immoral?

Alan had never thought of such a thing before.

As the first heir of the William Family, he had always enjoyed special privileges that he considered rightfully his.

At this moment, Alan was full of righteousness as he said, “Aren’t we just sending ourselves to our deaths if we go back now? There’s an advanced powerhouse there. Would you be willing to go if it were you?”

Lisa subconsciously shook her head when she heard that.

“That’s right! It’s not that we want to abandon him, it’s because the other party is too strong, which is why we can’t save Ron at all. The most important thing for us to do nowis to return to the family and tell them all the information. We’ll let the Family Head make the decision.”

Alan directly threw the question back at Lisa.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to save Ron, it was just that the other party was too strong, There was nothing he could do.

The only thing he could do was return to the family first and slowly discuss this matter.

Lisa was stunned by Alan’s words, and she pondered about the matter carefully.

Alan was not ina hurry.

As the first heir of the William Family, he definitely could not explicitly abandon one of the members of the family, which would leave a dirty mark on his history.

Thus he was returning the question to the other party instead.

He knew that with the personality of Family Head Lowe, it would definitely take a long time for him to reach a decision.

With this, the time would start to drag on.

By the time there was a real solution, Ron would probably have already been eaten up by wild dogs.

By then, the thom in his side would have been dealt with, and he wouldn’t have to bear the reputation of abandoning his family members.

Even Family Head Lowe would not be able to find fault with him.

This was Alan’s current plan.

“What you said seems to make sense. With our current strength, we can’t go against the other party. We can only return to the family first.”

Lisa seemed to have thought it through.

To face that strange castle again meant that she would have to bear too much psychological pressure.

She would rather throw all the pressure on the family.

Let the family think of a way to solve it.

This was undoubtedly the most irresponsible way, but it was also the most suitable way for her.

Seeing that Lisa had been convinced by him, Alan nodded.

They had rested enough.

The two quickly headed towards the direction of the Imperial Capital.

When they were nearing the Imperial Capital, Alan was still talking to Lisa.

“When we go back, try to describe the castle as very eerie and evil, full of witches and evil mages. Do you understand?”

“Yes!” Lisa nodded.

The two of them soon arrived at the gates of the Imperial Capital.

As a noble of the William family, originally, the two of them did not need to be questioned by the guards.

It was just that recently, the Imperial Capital was under martial law due to Princess Faith’s escape.

King Andrew ordered that everyone who entered and left the Imperial City must report their journey, even the Prince was no exception.

Although everyone had complaints about this order, no one dared to disobey it, because everyone knew that this time, the King was seriously angry.

Just as Lisa was about to speak, Alan blocked her mouth with his hand.

He said with a smile, “We just went out on a mission and have just gotten back.”

Alan was very cautious. Although he would not return to the castle, for the time being, he was still very vigilant about the location of the castle.

After all, Family Head Lowe valued that place very much.

He could still handle the matter of Ron being taken as a hostage, but if he were to reveal the location of the castle, then his position as the first heir might even be lost.

Seeing that the people who wanted to enter were nobles of the William Family in the city, the guards at the gates would usually just directly let them pass, but they suddenly remembered a certain person’s exhortation.

One of them then asked, “Where is the location of your mission? We will send someone to verify it.”

Hearing the guard’s question, Alan raised his eyebrows.

There must be something wrong with the guards today.

Usually, the guards would bow and scrape to him, but now they actually dared to check the location of his mission.

If it were any other day or mission, to avoid trouble, he would have answered.

But at this point, it was obvious that Alan could not answer this question.

Alan directly released the aura of a tier 6 mage.

With a dark expression, he said to the guards, “How can I just casually tell others about my mission? Move aside, I don’t want to repeat myself.”

The guards at the gate of the Imperial City were only at tier 3 and were not very strong.

Being suppressed by the strength of a tier 6 mage, they instantly felt a little suffocated.

Their legs could not help but tremble.

Seeing that he had suppressed the guards, Alan looked at Lisa, who was next to him, and prepared to enter the inner city directly.

suddenly, a dignified voice came from not far away, “You can’t just tell others? Then can you tell me?”
