Chapter 316 Re-exploration of the Stone Tower

When Lightning saw His Highness leave she pulled Maggie to the corner of the hall

“Goo?”

Maggie's hair was al her the appearance of a floating ghost whenever sheher cheeks, Maggie's high puffed up cheeks and the half sed crisp pork chop dangling in her small mouth became visible

“I found a fascinating place,” Lightning whispered “It's hidden inside the Concealing Forest, I intend to go and explore it tomorrow Would you like to come with me on an adventure?”

“Guru,” Maggie sed the food in her ain, “I want, I want What should we prepare?”

“To go on an adventure, you need three ite discovered that froe vocabulary “You need a flint, dry food, and a dagger The place isn't far froh food for a day Don't fill your whole pocket with it like you did last time”

“Okay goo,” Maggie patted her chest, ready to leave, but Lightning stopped her once again

“Remember, that this adventure is our secret Don't tell anyone else about it,” the little girl said, “We’ll start early to”

Looking at Maggie's back, who couldn't wait to get back to the table full of food, she curled her lips and began to think about their plan for tomorrow

Despite the success of the bohness' expectation, she found that her flying has beco her back Whenever Lightning raised her speed, she would always have the feeling that a Devil was chasing her

This obstruction was brought by fear, she realized Furthermore, the source of her fear was the exploration of the Stone Tohen she saw the horrible figure in the basement doorway, she had lost her cool and calht had been to flee from that place as quickly as she could Ever since then she had started to question her identity as an explorer

“Fear is not terrible, terrible is the unknown If you want to overcome it, you must approach it first”

Within her heart, Lightning silently repeated her father's teaching again and again Toer, but an explorer should not be afraid of risk, nor should they shrink back If she couldn't get over it, she was scared that she would never be able to fly freely again

This was also the reason why Lightning decided to keep the adventure hidden fro to His Royal Highness' plan, the exploration of the Stone Toas scheduled for after the Months of Demons and would be a cooperation between the First Army and the witches However, she orried that by that tiain, it would be hard for her to see it as so the fear” - only daring to approach the danger zone by relying on the strength of everyone, just couldn't be called an adventure

Afterward, His Highnessher ice cream, and her sisters from the Witch Alliance would surely also be worried, but she was still deterh with it

As the daughter of the Fjord’s greatest explorer Thunder, Lightning just couldn't accept her cowardly self

But it didn't mean that her decision was a reckless act Coo, she now had a revolver -a gift fro of the Devils, and lastly, she was being accoie

Especially the last point… If they really did encounter a group of Devils in the Stone Tower and even if Maggie couldn't change into her demonic beast's appearance to drive them away, they would at least still be able to flee on their own

An explorer doesn't need a brigade of troops to increase their courage, she thought, but they can still have a few trusted teammates

After dinner, Lightning gathered so, she then added torches, weapons, and water bags

The successful coether with His Highness’s encouragehtly cheeky reputation let her feel doubly courageous And just like the blacks went, 'it's best to strike while the iron is hot', tomorroould be the best time for them to depart

At first light, Lightning flew to the top of the castle, where Maggie was already sitting on the wall and waiting for her
