Chapter 273: Lynch Blackstone
Brown thought to himself and couldn't help but laugh, believing he had made an excellent decision.
However, to the other leading nobles, he must have lost his mind, volunteering for a death mission.
"The Carlisle Family has truly fallen, picking a fool like him as their representative."
"Maybe he was purposely pushed forward to die. I can't believe they didn't know who the enemy was beforehand."
"Damn, why didn't I think of that? These nobles have been entangled for decades, and nothing has changed..."
"Stop overthinking. Which area are you planning to go to? I think Area 2 is the best. Although it faces the second wave, it's probably the safest."
"I agree. Area 2 seems the best option, and I'm not close to the City Lord, so Area 3 is likely out of reach."
"Who could've known things would turn out like this? Should we recruit more adventurers?"
"That won't help much. I'd say going home and bringing some elite soldiers might be better..."
"That's a good idea, but the additional forces won't count toward contribution scores..."
"Nothing we can do..."
As they contemplated their choices, a clear voice grabbed everyone's attention:
"The Blackstone Family is also willing to join the first area for combat training!"
The speaker was an eastern man with black hair and eyes, his tone calm, as if leading the first wave against the barbarians was nothing terrifying.
The other leading nobles were no strangers to him; many had dealt with him personally.
Lynch Blackstone!
Lynch was the head of the Blackstone Family.
He was tall, well-built, handsome, and carried a resolute demeanor filled with confidence.
At just 20 years old, he was already a mid-tier peak bard.
Unlike other bards who knew a little bit of everything but mastered nothing, Lynch excelled in every skill he possessed.
People had witnessed him kill a high-tier rogue who ambushed him without suffering a scratch!
Not to mention, despite the Blackstone Family's decline in recent decades, they remained one of the strongest families in Bloodmoon City.
The Blackstone Family was among the most powerful eastern families in the entire Eastern Province.
They possessed outstanding management skills and controlled an extensive business network.
The Blackstone Family's influence extended throughout the Eastern Province, deeply rooted and formidable.
Some even claimed that what they showed was merely the tip of the iceberg; their true strength remained hidden underground!
If Lynch wanted to join the first area, it hinted that there might be secrets unknown to the other leading nobles.
But no matter how they speculated, they wouldn't risk their lives on a gamble.
Trying and dying was not uncommon!
In Bloodmoon City, filled with dangerous ruins, nobles digging their graves wasn't unusual each year.
Taling 343 glanced at Lynch, then subtly swept her gaze over Matthew, who was smiling faintly, and nodded lightly before gesturing toward Lynch.
"The Spirit Domain Lord has chosen to join the first area; there is one more spot available. If no one volunteers, it will be assigned randomly."
