After some discussion, everyone agreed to return to the inner city first and report to Magus Xavier as soon as possible. However, Teacher Harvey was worried about the teachers and students in the giant white egg. In the end, he chose to stay behind alone.
This was undoubtedly a very dangerous move because the monster could return to its nest at any time. Caesar had already proven that he was no match for that monster. If Teacher Harvey, who was also a grade 3 magician, encountered that monster, he might not be able to survive.
Therefore, after learning of Teacher Harvey's decision, everyone advised him to leave together. If Rob's speculation was correct, it seemed that the people in the giant white egg were the safest. However, Teacher Harvey seemed to have made up his mind. He wanted to stay and protect these people. His plan was to find a place to hide nearby and use detection magic to observe the monster's movements, hoping to find its weakness.
The sky was completely dark. Obviously, no one wanted to spend the night in this gloomy and strange place. So everyone, including Teacher Harvey, returned to the ground. Compared to when they came, there was one more person in the team.
However, because of what happened before, no one would take the initiative to talk to the young master of the Andrea Family. Everyone treated him as if he didn't exist. Because of his identity, no one dared to touch him. However, once he got in touch with the outside world, such a big incident would definitely not be concealed. When he returned to the outside world, Caesar's troubles would follow. Not only the school and the Guard would investigate him, but the Andrea Family would also want to know what happened in the arena. He was afraid that his future days would not be too good. However, at least for now, he looked calm and no longer shouted.
Walking in the desert at night would undoubtedly add a lot of danger. However, compared to that, everyone preferred to stay away from the monster's nest. In fact, as long as they thought of the underground scene, most of them couldn't help but have goosebumps. The team stopped at a place four miles away from the tower and started a fire to cook.
Shirley gave a piece of bread to the young master of the Andrea Family. After listening to him politely thanking her, she blushed and ran away. She tried to pretend that she didn't care, but when she walked to the side, she couldn't help but peek at Caesar from time to time.
"Hypocrite." Lolo commented as she cooked the noodles. "Did you see that? He didn't show any sincerity when he thanked her just now. It was just the hypocritical etiquette of the nobles. It was the education he received since he was young that made him say that. However, he didn't feel grateful at all. He didn't even ask for the girl's name until now."
"Hey, I didn't know you were so cynical." Rob was holding an empty bowl of noodles with Gage. He was a little surprised when he heard that. "It's always good to be educated. Whether nobles are hypocrites or not is another matter, but it's undeniable that their education is much better than that of commoners. Most of them are also more polite."
"Yes, that's right." Gage agreed. "When I was young, the kids around me called me a fat pig, laughed at me, and threw stones at me. Only a little brother named Hill was willing to play with me and even fought with those who bullied me. His father was a knight. He always admired his father and said that he would become a knight in the future. It's a knight's duty to protect the weak."
Jenny had already cut the sausages. The future supreme magus, Your Honor, took out a bag of salted fish and a handful of coriander from his bag, planning to add them to the noodles later. Lolo was too tired to complain. This guy's bag was full of novels and snacks, and he didn't look like he was serious about the competition at all. It made people want to criticize him seriously. However, when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that this guy had done the most work since he entered the competition.
"Hey, whose side are you on?!" The girl was dissatisfied. She turned around and said to someone, "Didn't you say that he betrayed his teammates?"
"I don't think that's contradictory. Upbringing is upbringing, and character is character. Caesar's politeness to outsiders and his abandonment of his teammates at a critical moment are two different things." Rob held his chin and said slowly, then asked Fatso and Jenny, "Do any of you want some coriander?"
"No, it's okay. I never eat coriander." Gage looked at the coriander as if avoiding snakes and scorpions.
Jenny also shook her head. She was actually the most agitated in the past two days. It was also the first time she learned that her brother, Peter, had killed many people to protect her from the question and answer game that the quasi-magus played with her. It was hard for the kind-hearted Jenny to accept, especially when the noble youth she once secretly liked was among them. She originally thought that what happened to him was only a terrible disaster, and she was sad for a long time because of it. She didn't expect that the accident was not an accident at all, and it was actually related to her. She indirectly caused his death, which was also what she couldn't accept the most.
After that, Jenny desperately wanted to contact Peter and ask him about what happened back then, but the latter didn't communicate with her at all, as if he had completely disappeared.
Jenny wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep that night. Most of the team spent the night in anxiety, but nothing happened when the sun rose the next day. The monster seemed to have left for a long time this time, and hadn't returned to its lair until now.
The party bid farewell to Teacher Harvey, leaving behind enough supplies for him. Even if their trip went smoothly, it would still take at least four to five days, so the sooner they returned, the better it would be for Harvey's safety. The next morning, everyone did not delay and set off early.
The future supreme magus Your Honor didn't plan to steal the show for the time being. Since Xavier was also in the dungeon, he would naturally deal with the monster. Anyone who could become a seventh-grade magus wasn't simple, especially his attainments in magic formations. Even a ninth-grade supreme magus was amazed by him, and the future supreme magus Your Honor had consulted several of Xavier's papers when learning about magic formations. He was indeed a person brimming with talent, and his decision to come to Siames to teach had also surprised many people.
But no matter what, with him in the dungeon, even if he couldn't defeat the monster, he should be able to ensure the safety of most people. When the teleportation portal was repaired and they reconnected with the outside world, the monster's luck would end.
