It had been more than three months since the Battle of Wind End Castle. Luo Bu had finally set foot on the land of his hometown after a long journey.
Due to the Dungeon of the Endless Sea of Trees, this remote town had experienced a sudden development in recent years. Compared to the last time he left, there were many changes.
Not only were the city walls sturdier, but the streets were also much wider. Looking around, there were unfamiliar faces, and the number of adventurers had increased. It was said that the Underground City was progressing smoothly. In the past three years, other than a few powerful Magical Beasts, most of the monsters in the first layer had been killed. The traps had also been mostly dismantled, and the remaining monsters were not a threat. In another two years, the first layer would be completely conquered.
It was a shocking development. Every few days, the taverns in the town would hear about a lucky person becoming rich overnight. More and more Gold Diggers would flock to Ryan. It could no longer be called a small town.
Old Ricks's grocery store was still standing by the side of the street. However, it occupied a prime location and looked more run-down than the surrounding shops. Even the windows had been removed.
Luo Bu inquired about it and learned that his father had come back once more than a year ago. He had shamelessly swindled a sum of money before running away and disappearing again.
However, the young man was relieved when he heard the result. The current situation was unclear, so it was good for the guy to hide. No matter what, at least he did not sell the grocery store. With the current land price of Ryan, this small piece of land was estimated to be worth 80 to 90 gold coins. However, the guy would rather borrow money than sell his only asset. It was probably because his mother had said before she passed away that she would leave this grocery store for Little Rob to marry in the future. The guy still remembered that.
Rob knew that Old Ricks was living well in a corner of this world. He didn't want to find out about his whereabouts. At this moment, it was best not to contact him.
The grocery store was empty and uninhabitable. Besides, Rob didn't know if the Temple of Light or the Magic Association had arranged people to keep an eye on the place. Therefore, it was safer to stay in an inn.
Recently, due to the incident in the Northern Region, the Church was in a crisis and couldn't take care of itself. The Magic Association had also suffered a lot of criticism. As a result, the arrest of the two of them had been reduced. After leaving Poer Wilderness, they could clearly feel that the checks along the way were relaxed.
Therefore, the two of them sped up. However, Rob didn't let his guard down because the strange dream on the girl hadn't disappeared. It meant that the thing hadn't given up. It wasn't easy to get rid of being targeted by a deity.
The future Supreme Magus did not waste any time. He quickly bought some supplies from the town, including food, water, ropes, and a batch of magic materials. However, just as he was about to leave the magic shop, he stopped in his tracks.
When he was about to leave the magic shop, he stopped in his tracks. A red-haired girl was asking an old magus about the usage of a magical potion on the shelf. She raised her head and smiled at him.
"Hi ~" Unlike ordinary girls, most female adventurers wouldn't be too bashful in front of the opposite sex. The red-haired girl took the initiative to greet a certain person. Although it was only out of politeness, Roland could still feel the cheerfulness behind her smile.
"Good sword." Rob pointed at the sword on her waist and said.
"Your Honor has a good eye. This sword was forged by my grandmother. She is a very powerful blacksmith, but she doesn't like to forge weapons. She has only forged two swords in her life, and this is one of them." The girl untied the sword on her waist and tossed it to a certain someone. She didn't seem to be worried that the person would suddenly run away with this precious sword.
"But if I'm not wrong, this is an Elven sword." Rob pulled out the sword and glanced at it, but his expression didn't change.
"Yes. Strictly speaking, grandmother only reforged this sword. This sword was once broken into twelve pieces. Because she admired the sword's previous owner, she repaired it again. She swore that she would never forge another weapon again, but she is willing to make an exception for this sword." The red-haired girl paused and said, "Grandmother said that it would be a pity to destroy such a famous sword. Even if no one in this world knows the story of its previous owner, at least they can see this sword again."
As soon as the red-haired girl finished speaking, a freckled boy of fourteen or fifteen rushed into the shop in a panic. At the same time, he shouted, "Lulu, Banker has been captured by Bloody Hook Domingo. He threatened to chop off one of Banker's hands if we don't gather a hundred gold coins by sunset!"
The red-haired girl named Lulu was furious. "What's wrong with Domingo? He's openly extorting money in Ryan. Isn't he afraid of the Guard? Let's go, bring me to him! "
Rob tossed the sword back to the girl. She caught it and revealed an apologetic smile. "Sorry, something unexpected happened. I have to go deal with it. See you again if fate wills it." After saying that, the girl rushed out of the magic store in a hurry. She was like a ball of fire, and she did things in a hurry.
The future Supreme Magister Your Honor looked at the girl's disappearing figure and revealed a thoughtful expression.
… …
Lulu was the leader of the Gale Group.
Although the name sounded domineering, it couldn't hide the fact that this adventurer team was sparsely populated. Including the team leader, Lulu, there were only five members in the entire Gale Team. However, the Gale Team was much more united than ordinary adventurer teams. All five of them came from the same place and knew each other from a long time ago. They were companions who grew up together. The name Gale Team was chosen at that time, and Lulu had traded a few pieces of milk candy for the position of team leader.
The members of the Gale Group were excited when they heard that a Dungeon had appeared in the Endless Sea of Trees. They felt that their opportunity had come. After persuading their families to agree, they went to Ryan and rubbed their palms together, ready for a big fight.
They were all professionals, and the leader, Lulu, was a Grade 2 warrior. Unlike ordinary Adventurers, most of them were from middle-class families. Some were merchants, some were nobles … Hence, they had good equipment. Rather than saying that the Gale Group was here to earn money, it was more accurate to say that they were here to enjoy the fun of earning money.
