The cold night wind blew.
Rhode stood on the balcony on the second floor, quietly watching the beautiful scenery of Deep Stone City before him. Along the edges of the mines, lights formed into bright lines which flickered in the dark sky like fireflies in the night. A calming trickle from a nearby creek, together with the gentle breeze that could be heard from afar, seemingly formed a whole new world.
Rhode felt that his existence in this world was becoming increasingly realistic.
"Thump, thump."
A gentle pair of footsteps came from behind, but Rhode didn't need to look back to know who it was. The person also did not say anything and stood quietly by Rhode's side, bathing in the cool night. After some time, Marlene's voice sounded in Rhode's ear.
"I've heard about you from Lize, thank you."
"I did not do anything worthy of your thanks," Rhode said coolly.
"You saved Lize. This act itself is a very important matter to me."
