Chapter 432 The Return
Time passed day by day, and Rhodes had spent three months in this world before he knew it.

He didn't practice boxing today, but sat on the sofa in the living room waiting to return.

"You look nervous." Natalya looked at him and said.

"It's a little bit, aren't you nervous? What if you can't go back?" Rhodes turned his head and said.

"I'm not nervous at all. There is no difference between the previous world and this world." Natalya replied.

"Why do you want to go back so much?" she asked again.

"I can't tell. Although it won't be as easy as it was a few days ago, I still want to go back. Everyone I know is in that world." Rhodes replied.

"There is another person you are very familiar with who is not in that world." Natalya smiled, and she felt her face was a little hot just after she finished speaking.

Rhodes looked at Natalya who was blushing, hesitated for a while and said: "Actually, I feel that you are still a little strange to me. Although we have been together for so long, I don't even know what you have experienced before. Do not know at all."

Natalya was stunned, and after a long time she sighed: "Actually, I don't have anything to say about my past. I mentioned it to you before. I used to live in a building south of Winterfell Fortress and north of Glory Fortress." In a small village.

My parents died in the war between the two countries when I was very young. I hid in the secret room at home and survived from the hands of the rebellion.

After the rebel army left, they took all the food in the family. In order to survive, I could only wander alone on the plain full of corpses.

I was very hungry at the time, and I still remember how hungry I was at that time. When I was so hungry that I was about to eat the rotting human corpses on the ground, I met an old woman.

She is a member of the League of Assassins, she adopted me, and passed on all her abilities to me. I learned all my illusion and stealth skills from her.

When I was just able to barely protect myself, she left this world because of being too old, and I could only continue to wander alone, occasionally performing some missions arranged by the alliance.

My hands are dirty, and I have killed many people. There are nobles who have done bad things, there are also unarmed old people, and there are even couples who love their children very much.

During a mission, I learned the legend of the ring, and then started to collect these rings. After I was able to get rid of the pursuit of the alliance, I left the alliance and began to focus on collecting these rings.

I haven't killed any innocent people during this period of time, otherwise you wouldn't have had the chance to sit here with your legs crossed and listen to my story. "

"So the reason you want to go back to the past is not to kill me? But to go back to the past to kill those rebels, and then let your family members move to a safe place?" Rhodes asked after putting away his legs.

"You won't always take my angry words seriously?" Natalya smiled angrily, "The reason why I want to go back to the past is indeed similar to what you said later."

"Then you collect all the rings and find that the legend is actually a lie. There is no secret treasure that can go back to the past. If you can go back to the past, many things will become paradoxes.

If you get that secret treasure, go back to the past and change your own destiny, you will not collect these rings when you grow up with your parents, and then there will be no future you to change your own past destiny. " Rhodes said.

"Actually, I feel that it doesn't matter whether I change it now..." Natalya stared at Rhodes and shook her head.

"Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like this?" Rhode reached out and touched his face.

"There's nothing on your face, idiot." Natalya laughed.

After seeing Natalya's smile, Rhodes felt that he must be in trouble in the future.

"I haven't asked you yet, how old are you this year?" He hesitated for a while and asked.

"Not a few years older than you, are you this year? I am two years older than you, and I am 21 this year." Natalya replied.

"You are three years older than me, don't you know how to count? I hate two kinds of people the most, one is not able to count." Rhodes said with a smile.

Seeing that Rhodes hadn't continued talking for a long time, Natalya asked, "What about the two?"

"No two." Rhodes shook his head.

"Didn't you say that you hate two kinds of people the most? Why is there only one and no two? Don't you know how to count?" Natalya covered her mouth and laughed.

"Uh, this..." Rhodes pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his head.

"Okay, no need to explain, we can learn together in the future." Natalya stood up, walked to Rhodes and patted him on the shoulder.

"Actually, I can, and I can do even more difficult ones. If you want to learn arithmetic, after we go back, you can go to the school I founded to learn it." Rhodes thought that after he went back.

Baron and the others should have executed all the plans he made. After returning, they don't have to worry about production-related matters in the territory, and can focus on recruiting troops and training the army.

Rhodes, who was sitting on the sofa, squeezed his fists, feeling that it was time to end this troubled world.

Thousands of years of continuous wars in several countries have taken away not only Natalya's family, but I don't know how many people have suffered worse than her.

"It's time for lunch." Natalya said suddenly, pulling Rhodes back to reality.

"Is it already noon?" Rhodes looked at the sky outside the window.

When he got up this morning, he sat on the sofa and waited. He didn't remember the time wrong.

Is it really impossible to go back?

Just as Rhodes was thinking about this and getting up to prepare for today's lunch, he saw a crack in the space in front of him, and a blue figure walked out of the crack.

"Three months are up, and only one of you two can go back." The blue figure said, his voice lost emotion compared to before, like a robot.

After hearing his words, Natalya's expression changed.

She turned around and said to Rhodes, "Can you stay with me..."

"Forget it." She shook her head to the blue figure: "Let him go back, anyway, it's the same for me to stay in this world or go back to that world, anyway, I don't have any other friends or relatives gone."

Rhodes looked at Natalya next to him with complicated eyes, and he knew what she wanted to say at the beginning.

Just when he was about to say something, a whirlwind came, and Rhodes felt as if his body was torn apart.

After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes and found himself back in the hall covered with stone bricks engraved with runes.

It's really like a dream.

Rhodes sat up and looked at the empty hall.

Indeed, he was the only one who came back.
