"Oh, really?" Jones thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "So, Richie sent you to find me just to tell me these things?"
"Richie sent me to see how you were doing, to greet you."
"Thank him for me."
"Also, he asked me when you were planning to come back, the great battle is imminent, aren't you going to follow the Holy Knight on the expedition?"
"Um..." Jones looked around, shrugged his shoulders, and smiled helplessly, "You see, I have many things to do here right now, I can't leave for the time being. Plus... don't you think it doesn't matter whether I go on the expedition or not? I won't be of any help anyway."
While speaking, he wiped his face with a towel. Because the towel was already gray, wiping his face didn't make it any cleaner.
"But you have a certain representative significance," Delia said, "You are the Holy Knight's nominal adopted son, you can play a role in the army that others can't."
"Maybe." Jones smiled with pursed lips and didn't speak again.
