The soldiers of the Southern Army cheered, swarming around Lian and Sophie.
Sophie, a bit unused to such fervor, suddenly remembered something. She lifted her small face and looked at Lian with a wronged expression.
Lian then realized that during the retreat, no one had helped Sophie carry her fish tank.
Her fish tank had most likely been destroyed by a Tree Monster or a retreating Guard. Of course, it was even more likely that Sophie herself had frozen it into an ice sculpture.
When Lian and Sophie found the fish tank, it had already been reduced to a pile of broken glass.
The 96 goldfish and tadpoles had all prematurely entered the embrace of the God of Tiger.
Sophie shut down completely.
The corner of Lian's mouth twitched.
He had originally thought Sophie had at least a one percent chance of keeping a single fish alive, which was why he had specifically picked out 100 for her. Now, it seemed even a one percent chance was an overestimation.
