Chapter 258: Episode 94: Yearning (On Shelves)_3

Although as travelers, humans always want to continuously explore and expand. However, in comparison to the vastness of Anriel and the terrifying creatures hidden everywhere, this pace of exploration may never come to an end. For instance, creatures like dragons are scattered throughout the continent, and anyone approaching their territory will receive "attention" from these mighty flying beasts, with only the lucky ones managing to escape.

Even so, arrogant humans still divide this world into small pieces, as "political regions" for those countries, thinking they are the masters of these areas. In reality, besides the Holy Pate Kingdom, which can ensure the safety of its territory through a network of temples and a large number of paladins, the concept of national land in other countries is limited to areas around important trade routes and villages.

The most ridiculous thing is that humans like to start wars over these lands they cannot even control. According to the mages, this is called "boundaries set up to find reasons for war."

Lynch was telling Zilvra about the sights of each country on the continent, what specialties they had, and how the residents lived. The female drow listened intently to Lynch’s story, not even raising a question.

After a while, little Soka, flying freely in the sky, also noticed Lynch telling stories, and flapped her wings to land, listening with great interest. When Lynch was still an apprentice, he had visited many places, using the teleportation between mage towers to safely and quickly reach places he had never been before. The local customs fascinated the mages, and the scattered historical documents and notes from skilled craftsmen were even more alluring.

The locations of all mage towers are secret, with only a few known to ordinary people. Mages usually place their structures in inhabited areas, avoiding the noisy world to quietly study magic. It’s often said in the guild that a mage’s friend is only another mage. As people constantly entangled by prejudice and rumors, mages prefer to live in their own small circle, not associating with outside people. They only appear as consultants under suitable circumstances.

In this aspect, Lynch is considered an exception; even after becoming a mage, he has maintained his network of friends and interacts with ordinary people much more than others. This cannot be separated from his master’s tolerance of this behavior. Many believe associating with "rigid-minded, illogical, unknowledgeable, spell-ignorant" people is a waste of life, but Lynch finds joy in interacting with ordinary people, just as with studying spells.

The mage spoke more enthusiastically, and even after returning to the Red Mushroom Tavern, he continued telling the two girls about interesting events on the surface. Zilvra, holding the feather-light Soka, listened intently to the mage’s story.

After realizing Lynch had disappeared from the banquet, Koravos still chatted and laughed with the guests. He had already anticipated this situation and didn’t find it strange. He never thought of establishing a genuine good relationship with the mage; all he needed was for the mage to make an appearance at the banquet, which would significantly increase his prestige.

’Luckily, I was smart enough,’ Koravos was internally praising himself, ’It’s much easier to start with his friends than to invite this mage directly.’

Mage Lynch was unaware of being used momentarily, but even if he knew, he wouldn’t have had any excited reaction now. Lynch was fully immersed in the memories of the surface world, with other matters seeming insignificant.

"I have already done what I should, and I no longer need to stop for others," Lynch placed the map of the underground world in front of him, calculating the length of each road leading to the surface.

Pointing to the road through Dwarf City, he said to Zilvra: "This road isn’t the shortest, but it will get us back to the surface the fastest."

Zilvra placed the sleeping Soka on a rope, and the little angel instinctively clung to the thin rope, continuing to sleep comfortably. The female drow tiptoed back and whispered in the mage’s ear: "Anyway, I’m following you; the path you choose is the one I’ll naturally take."

Lynch rubbed his ear, feeling a bit unused to Zilvra’s way of speaking. However, seeing the mage’s action, Zilvra left a string of light laughter.
