Firefly Journey

Cassius punched him again: "And dinner's served."

On the tall tree above, the dragon girl flapped her wings, stretched lazily, gently rubbed her eyes with her soft hands, and slowly descended.

"Good morning, teacher!"

Paninger's tone was filled with joy upon seeing Cassius, so much so that he didn't even ask what had happened.

Anyway, with the teachers around, there won't be any problems!

"Good morning," Cassius nodded.

At this moment, everyone woke up and remembered the scene before they fell into a deep sleep, and based on this, they made up their own conclusions about what had happened.

Cassius looked around and gave everyone a general account of what had happened, which made them all frown.

Leaders like Lumer, in particular, felt their faces burning with embarrassment; as the team leaders, they had been directly knocked down.

Thankfully, Cassius was there; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. While they were still shaken, they were also reflecting on their experience. As the saying goes, "a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit," meaning they would learn from their mistakes and be prepared for similar situations in the future.

"Is everything alright?" Cassius asked.

Most of the people who entered the ancient god's ruins are now standing here.

"My students are safe and sound, but most of the people who went in with them disappeared in the Divine Ruins Illusion," Jonathan said.

Meanwhile, Cassius had also heard about the situation inside the Divine Ruins from Five and the others, and had a general understanding of it. So, apart from the main force that had been suddenly teleported away, only Wind Chime and Ario remained inside.

Moreover, since Woolf was a member of the cult of evil gods, there should have been her colleagues among those who entered, most likely one of the missing people.

"Teacher, are Fengling and the others in a very dangerous situation?" Paninger asked with some concern.

Cassius reassured him, "Wind Chime is so clever, don't worry."

In his mind, however, he was pondering the whereabouts of the main force. The sudden disappearance of so many people was unlikely to be the work of the evil god's followers, because they didn't have that kind of power; otherwise, they wouldn't have been secretly stealing divinity.

The evil cult lacks the ability to use a process of elimination to relocate the main force...

It's highly likely that it's Erillo and the faction he serves.

Why did he do this?

Where did those people go?

Cassius had no idea. He printed out his question, and a little mud figure emerged from the ground and walked toward the town of Torreg.

“I will wait here for my students, please make yourselves at home,” Cassius said.

Inside the Divine Ruins, only Fengling and the others remained. As their teacher, he had an obligation to ensure their safety.

The other forces had thus concluded their journey. Although the outcome was not entirely satisfactory, it was not a complete failure, as they all took several divine artifacts from that storage room.

The leaders of the various factions looked at each other, each with their own ideas.

Lu Mo spoke first: "Maintaining the Divine Ruins passage is probably not enough for you alone. We can provide assistance."

Just now, Cassius had saved everyone's lives, so his help in maintaining the Divine Ruins passage was really insignificant.

Cassius didn't refuse such a good thing and nodded in agreement. Then, he said to the students of St. Louis, "You go back to town first and get some rest. Once Wind Chime and the others come out, we'll return to Ibiza."

Paninger and the others hesitated, but Allen appeared in front of them at the right moment. "Let's go. There's no point in waiting here. Let's go back to town and rest for a while. They'll be fine."

Cassius liked this sensible student very much and nodded to him.

And so, led by Allen, the students of St. Louis and members of other factions returned to the town, leaving only the leaders behind.

After everyone left, Cassius said, "After being corrupted by the evil god, no one can guarantee the mental state of that mountain giant. He may very well go insane. And the town of Torreg is near the Yedeen Mountains."

The meaning is clear: nip any potential problems in the bud.

The reason he brought it up was because he had just fought a great battle with that evil god and was severely depleted, having annihilated the giant on the mountaintop, making him unable to participate.

Lu Mo and the others exchanged glances, their eyes forming a decision.

"Leave this to us."

Previously, due to carelessness, we fell into the trap of an evil god; now is the time to make amends.

……

……

Inside the Divine Ruins.

Orlando swung his sword at the wall, and amidst the flying rocks, a space appeared before him.

The space is small, only about the size of a handbag, and it looks like it was deliberately carved out of the stone wall.

Inside the recessed rock wall, a small wooden box lay quietly, unadorned and inconspicuous.

Orlando swung "Black Fang" in his hand and immediately flicked it onto the tip of his sword. After observing it and confirming that there was no danger, he then reached out and opened the cap.

As the box was opened, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from it. Lin Yuanran was caught off guard and quickly covered his face with his hands.

The light vanished in an instant. Lin Yuanran opened his eyes and saw that the box contained a ball of light.

Through the dim light, Lin Yuanran could see what it was, and his breathing became rapid, and he felt a physical aversion.

Because the light is coming from one of the ears.

Lin Yuanran was immediately shocked. The only things that could be here were Klenbo's things; these were his collections.

Or perhaps... part of His body?

Orlando provided the answer.

The wandering swordsman touched the glowing ears, his expression satisfied: "Ears with 'divinity'... it seems Krumbo still has some wealth. Anyway, they've all fallen, so it's perfect for me."

Wind Chime said, "Is this your purpose?"

Orlando shook his head and said, "It was just a pleasant surprise. My real purpose in coming here was to get one of His items to take back and report."

"With it, you can attain godhood?" Wind Chime asked.

Orlando said, "It's not guaranteed to succeed, but it will greatly increase the chances of promotion."

He is a single-class third-awakener who has never attempted to advance to the divine realm. Now that he has obtained the divinity left behind by Klenbo, he will have a stronger guarantee.

While outside, the various forces had reached a consensus that whatever they obtained in the Divine Ruins was their own achievement. As for Orlando's attainment of divinity, Fengling didn't have any particular thoughts about it.

Lin Yuanran was a newbie who had just entered the realm of the extraordinary and had no idea of ​​the value of "divinity". He was so happy to get the "mask" and the "book" that he had no time to care about others.

Seeing him tuck his ears into his clothes, Lin Yuanran said, "Can you take us out now...?"

Orlando said, "Of course you can. In fact, the entire Divine Ruins is created by someone, no, it should be said that it is a way out created by a powerful being. There are ways out everywhere."

“Fiction?” Wind Chime frowned. “Isn’t Klenbo the owner of this place?”

“Of course not.” Orlando answered very quickly, seemingly knowing some inside information. “My benefactor who hired me said that Krumbo died unexpectedly. How could he have foreseen and arranged the Divine Ruins in advance?”

Some people parade around in His name, perhaps with the aim of attracting extraordinary people from all walks of life. As for what they want to do, I have no idea.

In short, my mission is complete, and it's time for me to leave.

Lin Yuanran felt like he'd been played, and asked hesitantly, "Why didn't you tell us this sooner?"

Orlando suddenly smiled across his usually stern face.

"Because playing with children is a pleasant thing for people's mind and body."
