Three days later, the expedition team crossed the Endless Forest and arrived at the town safely.
The first thing they did when they returned to Ryan was to find a cheap and delicious restaurant and have a good meal. Fresh meat, vegetables, and sweet ale that they hadn't tasted in a long time, both the adventurers and their followers had a great appetite. Lolo also gobbled down her rice.
The Brave rookie seemed to have gotten over the sadness of parting, but he didn't mention anything about what happened that night, probably because he was afraid that someone would draw a puppy on his face. He only agreed to see her off at the inn the next morning after they finished their meal.
The future Supreme Magus actually wanted to ask the girl what happened to her father, but what could he do even if he knew? Lolo had already rented a pony and planned to leave Ryan the next morning. According to David's promise, Rob would receive his new identity no later than the next day. The Archmage also contacted a caravan and paid a deposit. They would leave the town three days later.
Unlike The Brave rookie, Rob decided to go north this time. He wanted to go to the Pamir Icefield to see the snowy mountains there. He had heard the dean talk about the magnificent natural scenery there many times, as well as the unique local delicacies.
Snow roe deer and snow chicken were delicious, and when stewed with potatoes, they would taste so good that people would want to swallow their own tongues with just a sprinkle of salt.
In addition, it was said that the people there used a kind of red berries on the mountainside mixed with snow water to make wine. The dean had always praised this kind of wine, but it was a pity that he could not bring it back. Once it left the snowy mountains, the taste of the wine would change and become bitter and hard to swallow.
The dean was also unusually lazy. Although he couldn't forget the taste after drinking it once, he was too lazy to go there again. In his words, there were so many good wines in the world, there was no need to hang on to one.
In fact, Rob wasn't that addicted to alcohol. As a standard magician, he preferred to stay in one place and grow grass. He wasn't too interested in traveling. Most magicians were like this, or they wouldn't be so passionate about building magic towers.
If you had to make an analogy, magicians were like hedgehogs. They liked to lie quietly and erect their spikes to protect themselves. Every magic tower was a super fortress that could attack and defend. Generally speaking, the older it was, the more terrifying it would be. Who knew how many magic circles and magic traps the magicians had set up in it when they had nothing better to do?
It was almost as difficult as slaying a dragon to destroy a magic tower with a magician inside. Adventurers of the same rank would need at least two or three teams to do it.
During the Second Magic War, the humans even invented the insane Tower Attack. By building a Magic Tower in front of the enemy's home, the enemy had to send out their elites to destroy it. Then, they would arrange a large number of troops around the Magic Tower and wait for the enemy to walk into the trap. It was this simple, almost retarded tactic that made the Dwarves cry for their parents and curse the humans for being shameless.
Of course, the dwarves weren't fools. After experiencing the same thing several times, they should have learned their lesson. But the problem was that the dwarves didn't really have a good way to solve this problem. If things like magic towers were left alone, they would know how destructive they were when the war broke out. There were endless golems, elemental pools that could speed up the magicians' magic power recovery, and magic cannons of various calibers … In short, it was as disgusting as one could imagine.
So even though the dwarves knew that there was a trap on the other side, they had to pinch their noses and walk into it.
If it weren't for the exorbitant cost of building the Magus Tower, the humans would have conquered the entire Dawn Continent with just this one move.
In short, the magic tower was the safest place in the world for magicians, so of course they liked to stay in it.
However, there were some eccentrics in every group. Among the magicians, there were also people who liked to be lively. Instead of building magic towers, they chose to wander from one country to another, enjoying different sceneries and tasting different cuisines. Some even went to the elves and dwarves to experience the exotic culture.
Well, in a sense, they also sowed the seeds of friendship among various groups and indirectly promoted civil communication. People usually called them wandering magicians or wandering magicians.
Rob wasn't a wandering magician, but for the first time, he wanted to go out for a walk, not only to find a new place to live, but also to relieve the inexplicable depression and irritation in his heart through travel.
Tobias once told him that if he was in a bad mood in the future, he could go see the scenery of nature, make some new friends, have a big meal, or make a cup of tea, or read his favorite novel in the yard … These things could help improve his mood and drive away the troubles in his chest.
Archmage had already tried the last two methods, but they didn't work at all.
It was a long-awaited meal, but it tasted like wax in his mouth. Rob felt full after two mouthfuls. He put down his knife and fork and sat there, watching the others wolfing down the food.
In the afternoon, he found a quiet place and brewed tea. Then, he moved a chair over and picked up a romance novel that he had always wanted to read. However, after holding it for a long time, he couldn't bear to read a single word.
The young man had never been in such a strange state in his life before.
Even when he was tortured by Demain, he could still eat and sleep soundly.
Archmage thought he might be sick.
Rob found Hilton and asked the blonde priest to cast a Healing Spell and a Mind Cleansing Spell on him, but it didn't work. That night, the future Supreme Magician Your Honor couldn't sleep for the whole night.
Early the next morning, Rob came to Lolo's hotel with two dark circles under his eyes. He was here to send the girl off as promised.
However, the lady boss told him that the rookie, The Brave, had already checked out and left last night.
Hearing this news, the young man was stunned. His first reaction was to wonder if there was something wrong with his ears. Lolo told him that he would see her off in the morning, so why did she choose to leave alone in the middle of the night? Was there something urgent? Or was she in danger?
With this thought, Archmage couldn't help but worry.
"Don't think too much. I've run this hotel for so many years, and I've seen too many similar things. Usually, people who choose to leave early are either avoiding debt or not wanting to see the scene of farewell." The lady boss leaned against the door and crossed her arms in front of her chest. She looked at Archmage with interest. "Does he owe you money?"
Rob shook his head.
