Arfa had a feeling that it was going to be dark soon, so he said to Ron, “Let’s find a place to rest. It’s getting dark soon, and it might be dangerous if we continue to go further.”
Ron did not say anything else and nodded. Then, the two of them found an empty place, and got ready to rest.

As of now, Ron had already been in this place for eight days, which meant that he had already been in the trial for eight days. He had already discussed with Arfa that he could only walk forward for three days at most, and then, whether he could find any treasures or not, he would have to get back on the
return route.

It was night, Zoro and the others had already entered a forest, and Lily was so tired that she could not open her eyes. Zoro had to decide to let the few of them use the tent to get through the night.

In fact, the tent had been mainly prepared for Lily. The others could fall asleep even if they were sitting outside. However, Kathleen was worried that Lily would be afraid of sleeping outside for the first time, and that there might be wild beasts out at night scaring her, so she went into the tent with Lily to
sleep.

At first, Lily was sound asleep. Suddenly, as if she had a nightmare, she hugged Kathleen tightly and said something. When Kathleen leaned closer to listen carefully, she realized that Lily had called for her mother. From time to time, a tear would fall from the corner of her eye.
Kathleen knew that Lily was dreaming of her parents again. It might again be the scene of her parents being killed. It was not unexpected, as after all, she had returned to the same old place for the day, to the place that had made her sad.

In order to prevent Lily from being woken up by the nightmare, Kathleen could only pat her gently on the back and comfort her slowly. “It’s okay, it’s okay.” Knowing that Lily no longer made any sound and that her expression had begun to relax, Kathleen’s worried heart was relieved.
suddenly, Kathleen found a little movement outside the tent, as if there was someone. Looking out, Kathleen had guessed what had happened.

At this moment, Zoro and Charles had already quietly left the vicinity of the tent and were walking towards the forest ahead.

In the process of consoling Lily, Kathleen soon fell asleep. The night passed quickly.

Early in the moming, when Lily and Kathleen had just woken up, Zoro and Charlie had already retumed. They had even made a pot of delicious fish soup and grilled fish.

“Wow! I didn’t expect to be able to eat such delicious food so early in the morning.” Lily was very surprised to see the delicious food.

“Grandpa, is this the fish you went to catch early in the morning? Thank you, Grandpa.” Lily thanked Zoro politely.

Kathleen communicated with Charles with her eyes. She knew it had to be Zoro and Charles last night. They must have gone to see if they could run into the bandits, so she wanted to ask if they had found any traces of them, but Charles shook his head gently. Indeed, it would not be easy to run into these
bandits.

After breakfast, they set off again. When they reached a steep cliff, Lily pointed to the cliff ahead and said suddenly, “Back then, Grandpa and I had fallen from here.”
Even Charles had to hesitate for a moment when he saw the steep cliff. He could not imagine how hard it had been for the grandfather and grandchild to survive.

Fortunately, they had survived and were able to lead him to find more descendants of the Nicholas family. This could be considered a blessing in disguise.

At this moment, the horses already could not even move an inch forward. The group of them had no choice but to abandon the horses. However, to them, this cliff was not difficult. When they used the magical power to fly, in just a few seconds, the few of them had already gone up the cliff.
“Sister, this is amazing, We can fly.” Lily clung onto Kathleen’s back obediently and felt the wind blow past her ears. Before she could react, she was already on top of the cliff.

“Hahaha, I’m so happy.” Lily was so excited that she cried out loud. After being excited for a while, Lily realized that she could not delay everyone’s journey because of her, so she immediately quietened down.

They walked on foot for another hour. The few places they walked past did not seem to differ much, but Lily suddenly stopped, a hint of sadness in her eyes. “We were attacked by bandits here.”

They were currently at the bottom of a hill. It was indeed a very suitable place for bandits to lay in ambush.

Looking down the hill, he even saw a pile of bones. These should have been the bones of the people who had been killed back then. Due to the sudden nature of deaths, the bones had not even been collected.

“Mom and Dad were killed here back then.” Lily’s voice was already choked with tears. She had probably recalled those unhappy past events; she had begun to move toward the cluster of bones. Kathleen instinctively wanted to stop Lily’s action, not wanting her to be reminded of the past scenes, but she
was stopped.

Zoro felt that some things had to be faced, and besides, Lily was not an insensible child.
Lily had walked under a large tree, and her tears suddenly fell uncontrollably. “Sister, my Father and Mother have disappeared. My parents were killed here, but there was nothing left here.”

Kathleen hurried over to take a look. She found nothing under the tree, but she could see several scratched marks on the tree trunk. She could tell that a very fierce fight had probably taken place here back then.

The missing bones of Lily’s parents should have nothing to do with the bandits. After all, they did not have the habit of clearing up the bodies. The corpses of Lily’s parents’ bodies might have been dragged away by some wild animals. After all, two years had passed.
However, losing her parents was already difficult for Lily to accept. Now, she could not even find her parents’ bones. Her only hope for her parents was also gone.

“Why? Mom, Dad, where are you? I’m Lily, Mom, Dad.” Lily could no longer control herself. She hurriedly used her small hands to dig at the soil at the roots of the tree. “Mom, Dad, do you all still remember me?”

“Lily, don’t cry. Mom and Dad might have been buried by a kind person. They wouldn’t want to see you so sad when they are in the heavens. Lily, be good. Let’s not cry, okay?” Kathleen could only comfort her in this manner. After all, anyone would be sorrowful when faced with such a circumstance.
Kathleen knew that her comfort had no effect on Lily, but she could not bear to see her keep crying.

Hearing Lily’s cries, the few of them understood why Lily had insisted on leading the way for them in the first place.

On the one hand, she felt sorry for her grandfather, who was getting on in years. On the other hand, Lily probably wanted to see the place where her parents had been killed previously, and to see their bones.
