The group sitting around the campfire appeared very happy, everyone was lounging on the soft shrub-like plants, comfortably enjoying a simple yet delicious dinner.

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> Little Dwarf Nimo was busy beyond measure; he continually turned the meat chunks so they could be fully roasted on the glowing stone slab. At the same time, he had to constantly add dry shrub-like plants to the fire underneath the slab to maintain the flame's temperature. Half-Beastman Mep and Dwarf Gongragan both had large appetites, and they quickly devoured the delicacies Nimo had cooked.

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> Lynch watched as Zilvra, holding a silver plate, sat nearby, cautiously eating the food in front of her, having relaxed from the earlier scare. The little angel was running back and forth, constantly searching through the goods brought by the stone-legged one, trying to find the "fruits" that the Old Dwarf mentioned.

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> The Mage, holding the Powerful Wand, walked over to Deluo; he and Priest Joe were responsible for guarding and scouting this temporary campsite. Neither of them had Dark Vision, but the prepared glasses had solved this problem.

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> "Any news?" the Mage asked, "The aroma of food might attract some predators, be careful."

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> "Nothing much, I used Wind Creation Skill to blow this scent into the adjacent closed cave, it's safer that way," Priest Joe said.

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> The Mage nodded, gazing into the deep tunnel. Although in his eyes, there was no difference between day and night, surface and underground, psychologically, the difference was significant for him. He patted Deluo on the shoulder, speaking to the two, "What will you do once you return to the surface?"

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> "I will return to the temple," Joe said, touching his Holy Emblem, "perhaps live a lifetime as an ordinary Priest."

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> Deluo smiled, looking at the Mage, "Naturally, I want to travel around. Though Dark Elf women are alluring, their tempers are truly terrifying." Deluo gestured towards Zilvra, "The only good-tempered one has already been taken by you. Lynch, what are your plans?"

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> Lynch glanced at Zilvra, who was eating alone. The female Drow had a long way ahead to integrate into surface life. The Mage looked at his friends and thought for a while, "When I return to the surface, I'll go with Little Finger to find our friends lost on the battlefield. It's been nearly half a year since Moon Harbor City fell; I wonder how they're all doing."

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> Deluo stared at the Mage for a long while, then asked somewhat puzzled, "Lynch, have you spent all your past years wandering and adventuring on this continent? Is there no place to rest?"

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> The Mage naturally understood what Deluo meant. It's well known that on the Anriel Continent, Mages are called "a cunning and arrogant bunch" and are not welcomed. Especially common people fear the power and intelligence of Mages, fearing that once a Mage becomes powerful, they will challenge the gods again, plunging the world into chaos once more. After becoming a Mage, everyone becomes lonely. Their past is abandoned and no one wishes to get close to a Mage anymore. Only a few traveling adventurers who have worked with Mages hold no such prejudice.

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> A Mage's fate is often to spend their life in a Mage Tower, accompanied only by their apprentices.

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> After hearing these words, Lynch stood there dazed, but his thoughts drifted far away, memories washing over his mind. The Mage finally said nothing, turned around, and walked back, sitting beside the female Drow.

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> "Zilvra, where would you like to go on the surface?"

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> "Anywhere, I haven't decided yet," Zilvra said. "I haven't been anywhere, so I'll naturally follow you."

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> "I want to visit the Elven Kingdom, to the forest where they live. Why don't you come with me?" The Mage looked at Zilvra, "As long as you don't say you're a Dark Elf, no one will recognize you."

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> Zilvra frowned and thought for a moment, finally nodding, "Alright, I can only follow you then."

<div style="display:none">Published by www.cmfu.com</div> "There's one more important thing," Lynch said, "from now on, I'll gradually teach you the Common Language of the surface. You can't always communicate using Dark Elf Language or other underworld languages."
