About an hour later, Jones left.
At the entrance of Blood Castle, he saw Adelle, Belle, Dora, and Goya waiting.
He walked quickly, and before they could speak, Jones already said, "Get in the carriage, let's go back."
"Uh... it's done?" Adelle was confused.
Jones had already stepped into the carriage and sat down.
The four Liches following him also quickly boarded the carriage. Not a word was spoken.
Everyone else looked at each other and got on the carriage.
The wheels of the three carriages began to move one after another, heading towards the Sea of Clouds.
At the entrance of Blood Castle, the carriage sent by the elders to fetch Jones remained, unmoving like a sculpture.
...
The carriage moved slowly along the mountain road.
In the carriage, Jones sat quietly with his eyes closed, his brow deeply furrowed.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Adelle continued to ask.
Belle also widened her eyes, waiting at the side.
