Chapter 130: Be Independent

The airship’s person-in-charge had a home with a small courtyard. The walls were not bad, and they were all neatly built with hard stones.

There were also potted plants in the garden.

The house’s interior was unremarkable. It could have been a small villa with a distinctive style, but it had been transformed into a slum.

The bedroom door was left open.

Wang Wen entered the courtyard and saw the female mage tied to the bed. Her expression was stiff. The airship’s person-in-charge sat at the head of the bed and carefully fed her some unknown liquid food.

The corners of Wang Wen’s eyes twitched. He knew that the person in charge of the airship was dead, for sure.

He just did not know if he could make his death a little more painless.

He strode into the bedroom and took the liquid food from the man before placing it on the table. Then, he untied the ropes.

When the man saw Wang Wen, he wiped his hands and stood up. He said, “She doesn’t eat, and she keeps saying she wants to commit suicide. I have to tie her up temporarily.”

Wang Wen untied all the ropes and sighed. He said, “If she wants to commit suicide, just let her. Why did you stop her? You don’t really want to marry her, do you? Do you know who she is?”

“What?” The man opened his mouth in a daze. “Who is she?”

Wang Wen shook his head and said, “She will be the reason for your death if you touch her.”

The man was dumbfounded. He stood rooted to the ground, thinking about something.

Wang Wen ignored him.

He turned his head to look at the expressionless female mage.

She was appropriately dressed. He did not know who helped her, but she was dressed quite neatly.

That was not bad.

At least it saved him a lot of trouble.

Wang Wen asked, “Do you remember I told you to be careful before we entered the mine? But you didn’t listen to me. You can’t blame me for this, right? There’s no reason to be unreasonable if your father were here, right?”

Hearing the word father, the female mage, who had been motionless all along, suddenly moved her eyes.

She raised her head to look at Wang Wen. “Let me die,” she said, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

Wang Wen thought for a moment.

He used all her strength to slap her face.

Then, he rubbed her hands and tried to reason with her. “Is that necessary? Isn’t it just some dirty water? I was covered in it too. Look! I’m fine after taking a bath. Do you have to be so suicidal?”

The slap caused the female mage’s hair to tangle.

It also gave the other man a big scare.

His heart ached when he saw the female mage’s red and swollen cheeks. He rubbed his hands and wanted to move forward, but he was afraid of causing trouble.

The female mage lay on the bed and sobbed.

Her voice was muffled as she choked. “My clothes were dirty; I drank a lot!”

Wang Wen was stunned.

He imagined the scene in his mind.

If he were to switch places with her.

“Urgh…”

Wang Wen could not help but retch. He suddenly felt that if he were in her shoes, he would also want to die.

“I kind of understand how you feel.” He covered his mouth and felt nauseous. He softened his tone and said, “Miss Di Lu, right?”

“I understand what you said, and I also understand why you want to die.” Wang Wen reached out and helped the female mage up. He said, “I don’t think that’s a problem. It’s a good thing that you want to die. I don’t object.”

The female mage looked at him with tears in her eyes as if she was relieved of a heavy burden.

Wang Wen nodded at her and changed the topic. “But I think I should die alone if I want to die. I can’t implicate others. Don’t you think so?”

The female mage asked, “Who am I implicating?”

“If you die in the mine, you will implicate me.” Wang Wen pointed at the person in charge of the airship. “If you die here, you will implicate him.”

The female mage laughed bitterly. “I am really a sinner. Even if I die, I will implicate others.”

“Of course!” Wang Wen noticed that it had an effect; he became more righteous. “I don’t mind, but he is just a regular guy. If your father discovers you dead in his home, he will undoubtedly tear him into pieces. Aren’t you the one to be blamed for that?”

When the man heard that, his legs weakened, and he sat down on the ground.

Puzzled, he asked, “Why would he break me into pieces? Who’s her father? How can he be so cruel?”

Wang Wen was about to speak.

The female mage grabbed his hand and dug her nails into his flesh. She lowered her head and shook her long hair. She said in a low voice, “Don’t, don’t say it.”

Wang Wen tactfully shut his mouth.

After waiting for a while.

The female mage asked, “Then what do you think I should do?”

Wang Wen knew what she meant.

He said, “If you want to die, then you should die somewhere far away. If you find a place with no one around, then you won’t implicate others. Of course, it would be better if you could die with some dignity. For example, if you die on the battlefield or something, it would be quite cool to bury an enemy before you die.”

The female mage nodded. She got up from the bed, staggered to the man, bowed, and thanked him. Then, she apologized. After that, she slowly walked out of the small courtyard and disappeared.

The person in charge of the airship, who was sitting on the ground, watched her walk out of the courtyard and leave. He muttered to himself in a daze, “My dear wife, she’s gone.”

Wang Wen could not bear to see that. “You’re the person in charge of the airship. Why are you worried about finding a wife?

The man shook his head with a pained expression. “They’re already at the front line. There aren’t many people here. It means that my business is about to close.”

“Why are you afraid there’d be no business with the airship?” Wang Wen was puzzled. “There are so many people at the front line. You won’t have to close down if you’re delivering supplies or transporting injured people, right?”

The person in charge of the airship raised his head strangely and asked, “Helping the front line is something we should do. What does it have to do with business?”

“Huh?”

Wang Wen’s voice stopped.

That question, which was a matter of course, stumped him.

The people there once again proved to him the importance of the word front line.

The concept of volunteer support for the front line had almost become a subconscious idea that had been carved into his bones.

Except for mages.

Even if ordinary people were afraid of death and did not dare to go, they would try their best to help the warriors willing to go to the front line.

Wang Wen suddenly found that he seemed to have some respect for those ordinary people who were hiding at the back.

Compared to the smart mages who were capable but did not want to go to the front line even if there was a reward. Those silly ordinary people seemed to be more adorable in that regard.

He suddenly felt a yearning for the front lines, which he kept hearing about.

In that place, he believed that.

More silly people must have risked their lives and buried their heads in death.

No one even mentioned the reward.

Wang Wen was somewhat moved. He pulled the person in charge of the airship, patted his clothes, and asked, “Didn’t you say there’s a banquet prepared for the wedding today? The bride is gone, but what about the dinner? When’s the dinner?”
