I saw the security officer looking at the wandering girl who was holding her daughter and staring furtively at passers-by on the street, silently lost in thought.

Cohen sighed quietly, contrary to his usual detachment:

"It's neither dangerous nor safe."

"Have you been to the desert?" the zombie asked slowly.

Cohen shook his head and did not answer, obviously not very interested.

Thales also remembered something, nodded and said:

"Just like everyone in the world only hears its name, but doesn't know the other side and the distance."

"Even though we are only separated by a wall from there, it is only a stone's throw away."

But it is as far away as a natural chasm.

The difference between cloud and mud.

Cohen came to his senses glumly:

"Speaking of which, where exactly are we going?"

Thales observed the unusual behavior of the security officer and smiled calmly:

"Where there are answers."

Cohen and Glover both frowned, puzzled.

Confused, they could only follow the prince step by step, going deeper into this increasingly complex and dangerous neighborhood.

Glover grew up on Hongfang Street in the Western District, but he knew very little about the downtown area. Although Cohen worked for the Police Department, he didn't seem to be familiar with this place. The two of them stumbled along the way and were embarrassed.

It was Thales who was able to walk through the streets with ease - he was already familiar with this place, and with the help of "Never Lost", he was even more comfortable without any hesitation.

"This damn mud, have all the road management funds been eaten by dogs... Your Highness, can I ask, this is obviously the Lower City area," Cohen asked in embarrassment after pulling his boots out of the mud pit for the third time:

"But why are you so skilled!"

On the other side, Glover said nothing, but roughly kicked a stone blocking the road and followed the prince's footsteps.

"Didn't I tell you?"

Thales lied casually without changing his expression:

"The Royal Family of the Bright Star are blessed and protected by the gods, and they will never go astray."

Huh?

"Bless? Bless? Never go astray?"

Cohen scratched his head.

So, my old man is lying to me again?

When I was young, he clearly told me that the Bright Star royal family was burdened with an eternal curse...

"So, follow me closely and don't get lost." Thales somehow remembered the journey in the dark path. He fluttered his cloak and stepped forward:

"Some roads are like life. Once you are left behind, you can never go back."

Glover thought of something, but he was silent and just tightened his cloak.

"So, you said, you want to come here to find the answer? Lower City." Cohen stared at his feet cautiously, guarding against the road that was as bad as the Blade Tooth Camp.

Thales nodded.

"To be honest, my day has been quite ups and downs."

"Hope and gloom alternate, success and setbacks go hand in hand, surprises mix, sorrows and joys are connected."

Thales moved forward, passed through several door openings skillfully, and said quietly:

"It's like the past few months, the past six years, the past... my whole life."

Glover and Cohen were startled.

"Tell me, have you ever seen a callous, desperate person whose hope was shattered and who had no other options, so he just dropped everything?"

The young man moved forward, looking at the noise and noise of the street, and raised the corners of his mouth.

Cohen rolled his eyes: "I've seen a lot of -"

Glover frowned: "Yes -"

The voices of both sides rose and fell at the same time, and they couldn't help but stop talking and glance at each other.

"Huh?" Thales urged absentmindedly.

"In the desert—" Cohen continued.

"The Western Front battlefield——" Glover also said at the same time.

Cohen and Glover looked at each other again, both filled with dissatisfaction at "stealing my words."

"I'm in the purge campaign-"

"During the desert war——"

The two people who already had a rift stopped again and looked at each other fiercely:

"Hey, hey, have you had enough?"

"If you interrupt me again——"

"You two!"

Thales finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Do you need me to open a room so that you can continue your romance and love each other?"

The vigilance officer and the vanguard officer then fell silent and turned away with a cold hum:

"snort."

As expected, he is D.D's follower - this is Cohen who feels good about himself.

As expected, he is a relative of Doyle - this is the disdainful Glover.

(In the Doyle Mansion in Dongcheng District, D.D, who was lying on the bed, eating fruit, flipping through pornographic albums, and nursing his injuries. He was so comfortable that he sneezed loudly, startling Baron and Mrs. Doyle outside the door.

He rushed into the room heartbreakingly again: "My poor son!")

"Where...did I say it?" Thales exhaled and said unhappily.

"Desperate people——" Glover and Cohen said in unison again, frowning and looking at each other.

Thales nodded, looking at the chaos and disorder on the street, thoughtfully:

"Now, meeting these people in Xiacheng District can make me feel that I am still living in a normal world, not other people's circles..."

some other people……

Cohen and Glover started thinking at the same time, but they had different answers.

But Thales didn't expect their answers, he just sailed in his own memory:

"Have you ever seen a person who regards rudeness and rudeness as a sign of personality, and a person who regards eccentricity as a witty phrase?"

Cohen sighed: "When I was a kid——"

Glover snorted coldly: "In the family——"

Both parties who spoke at the same time for the umpteenth time stopped their mouths and looked stiff.

Thales looked at them suspiciously:

"Are you sure you don't need to book a room?"

Cohen and Glover held back their faces and decided not to speak.

Thales sighed softly: He missed Huaiya and Rolf.

The prince continued to sigh:

"There are also those who regard pretentiousness as a reserved style, and regard speculation and suspicion as daily social interaction..."

"And taking the unspoken tacit understanding as a matter of course, and taking duplicity as the rule of conduct..."

"Think of hypocrisy and pretense as propriety, and ambiguity as a person who is watertight..."

"Unfortunately, I have seen these people many times these days."

Thales sighed:

"Maybe we'll see you again in the future."

"And they all set their sights on me, whether it's hope or coercion, scrutiny or disdain, they all expect me to find answers to questions they can't answer."

Thales' eyes were filled with sadness:

"But they were wrong."

The prince pushed aside a clothes-drying pole and walked down a flight of steps.
