5 5 301 DialogEnable As Dragon Boat Festival draws near, Gray Raven marches forward on a vast plain and finally arrives at a village near the capital.
6 6 301 It is the eighth village they have been to. When looking beyond the forest in the distance, the majestic buildings of the capital can already be seen.
7 7 301 But right now they have something else to do.
8 8 301 This is the eighth crate that Gray Raven has given out. Each time Liv gives a crate full of materials to the villager chief, she is met with the same response.
9 9 201 1 1031001
10 10 301 1 Liv You don't need to pay us. We only want you to use them in the right place. 1
11 11 202 1 1
12 12 301 Although still holding it back, the crowd begins to cry out in awe. To them, gathering bamboo leaves in a forest full of monsters definitely is not easy.
13 13 301 Among the villagers' thankful messages, Gray Raven quickly bids farewell to them to avoid being surrounded again.
14 14 301 The Nameless Sage has been waiting outside the village.
15 15 201 1 500384
16 16 301 1 Nameless Sage This is already the eighth village, Madam Liv. 1
17 17 301 Nameless Sage I'm worried that you will end up giving all the materials away. 1
18 18 301 Nameless Sage Would you like me to keep the materials reserved for entering the Realm of Dragons on your behalf first? 1
19 19 201 1 1031001
20 20 301 1 Liv We didn't really reserve any materials... 1
21 21 201 1 500026
22 22 301 1 Lee I almost forgot. But even if we have given everything out, we can still return to the starting point and collect again, can't we? 1
23 23 201 1 500384
24 24 301 1 The Nameless Sage looks at you, hoping you can persuade them.
25 25 302 I agree with their decision. 26
26 26 301 The Nameless Sage lets out a sigh.
27 27 301 Nameless Sage I am just concerned that re-collecting materials would waste too much time and make you miss the best window. 1
28 28 302 Best window? 29
29 29 301 Nameless Sage Each year, this is the best season to search for the Realm of Dragons, because the chance for the realm to appear is the highest during this time. We learned this from many generations of adventurers. 1
30 30 201 1 500166
31 31 301 1 Lucia Chance to appear? 1
32 32 201 1 500026
33 33 301 1 Lee ...I just looked it up. It seems to be a common setting in fantasy worlds. The mission's target area is right there, but cannot be observed due to some reason. 1
34 34 201 1 500166
35 35 301 1 Lucia Are you implying that area will hide by itself? 1
36 36 302 You can say so... 37
37 37 201 1 500384
38 38 301 1 Nameless Sage Besides, the monsters in the north have been getting a little unsettled. They may come down at any time. 1
39 39 302 Restless? 40
40 40 301 Nameless Sage The young people were talking about it not long ago. Some large, scary things had appeared in the Northern Wilds and slaughtered other monsters. 1
41 41 301 You open the Heroes' Journal left by the Travelling Wizard and find the Real of Dragons is located right inside a large red circle underneath the Northern Wilds.
42 42 301 You also notice that the Nameless Sage is looking a bit strange.
43 43 302 What's wrong? 44
44 44 301 Nameless Sage ... 1
45 45 301 Nameless Sage No, I'm just worried that the monsters would invade the Realm of Dragons directly if we keep wasting time here. 1
46 46 201 1 500166
47 47 301 1 Lucia Rest assured that we will get there as soon as possible. 1
48 48 201 1 500384
49 49 301 1 Nameless Sage Really? That's fantastic. When are you going to head out? Like, right now? 1
50 50 201 1 500026
51 51 301 1 Lee Well, regarding this, we still need some help from you. 1
52 52 302 You said we would be rewarded. 53
53 53 302 We can pick a magic item to our liking. 54
54 54 201 1 500384
55 55 301 1 Nameless Sage Um... Maybe... Perhaps I did say that. Fine, what do you need? 1
56 56 302 Something that can be used on items to track the approximate direction of the Realm of Dragons. 57
57 57 301 Nameless Sage Are you sure? I don't have anything from the Realm of Dragons with me. All Twin Souls in the nearby towns have been used up in making the replicas. You may not have any left. 1
58 58 302 (Nod to confirm.) 59
59 59 301 Nameless Sage Whatever. You can still try your luck in the capital... There should be some replicas of the Ancient Triangle from the Realm of Dragons left there. 1
60 60 301 The Nameless Sage takes out a staff from his robe as he speaks.
61 61 202 1 1
62 62 301 You nod to Lee. He takes the staff and begins to identify it.
63 63 301 Dungeon Master Ayla "Staff of Detection". It can point out the approximate direction of the original owner of an item. 1
64 64 301 Lee takes a glimpse at Lucia and Liv. You all spontaneously move out and stand in four different corners.
65 65 301 Lee then takes out the robe he took from the Travelling Wizard earlier and puts it over the gem on top of the Staff of Detection. He releases his hand, letting the staff fall.
66 66 401 1 36
67 67 301 The gem points at the Nameless Sage, who quickly looks at the forest behind him and moves aside. The staff rolls on the ground and points at him again. The Nameless Sage dodges again and pretends to look at the plain behind.
68 68 401 1 205
69 69 301 Lee, Lucia, Liv, and yourself all begin to smile as you watch the Nameless Sage dodging over and over again until he stops.
70 70 201 1 1031001 1
71 71 301 1 Liv You must be tired. Do you need some rest? 1
72 72 201 1 500384
73 73 301 1 Nameless Sage Ah... Um... Thanks, heroes... I think there might be some problem with this staff, so... 1
74 74 201 1 1031001 1
75 75 301 1 Liv Don't worry, we have a lot of time. This time we can take it slow... 1
95 95 301 Dungeon Master Ayla The Nameless Sage has a head-on collision with Lucia's sheath. He falls on the grass like a fly slapped by a swatter.
96 96 301 Ayla rolls another Luck check for the Nameless Sage. Fortunately, he did not pass out from the bash... How unfortunate.
97 97 201 1 1031001 1 -600
98 98 201 2 500166 1
99 99 201 3 500026 600
100 100 301 1 The Nameless Sage unconsciously holds his arm up to cover his face when the team approaches him.
101 101 301 Lucia Gotcha, you evil-minded agent. 2
102 102 202 1 2 3 1
103 103 201 1 500384
104 104 301 1 Nameless Sage I'm no agent! I am the Sage who summons heroes to help our people. I have never lied to anyone! 1
105 105 201 1 500026
106 106 301 1 Lee Aren't you the Travelling Wizard? 1
107 107 201 1 500384
108 108 301 1 Nameless Sage What Travelling Wizard? I don't know that guy. 1
109 109 302 Just like you, he is a hero summoner who has "never lied to anyone." 110
110 110 202 1 1
111 111 201 1 1031001 1 -600
112 112 201 2 500166 1
113 113 201 3 500026 600
114 114 301 1 Liv He only made us fall from high above, asked us to do a lot of tasks for him, and ran away with all the rewards and some materials... 1
115 115 301 Lee And turned us into children because "it was easier to hide", so he could easily get away... 3
116 116 301 Lucia Commandant said we ought to beat him up if we ever got to see him again. 2
117 117 302 I suggest you confess. 118 What style would you like for your coffin? 118
118 118 301 Dungeon Master Ayla All Gray Raven members roll an Intimidate check. The results are... Success, success, success, and success.
119 119 301 Seeing the four smiley faces, the Nameless Sage feels like the world is spinning around him. He is terrified and shakes his head.
120 120 202 1 2 3 1
121 121 201 1 500384
122 122 301 1 Nameless Sage You can't do this to me! I used to be a hero like you, then I took an arcane missile to the knee. 1
127 127 301 1 Dungeon Master Ayla The Nameless Sage cancels his camouflage spell and turns out to be the Travelling Wizard himself. He puts 10 gold coins in a line in front of you.
128 128 302 (Take them) 134 (There's got to be something else?) 129
129 129 301 Dungeon Master Ayla The Travelling Wizard took out another 5 gold coins to compensate you.
130 130 302 (Take them) 134 (There's got to be something else?) 131
131 131 301 Dungeon Master Ayla The Travelling Wizard took out another 1 gold coin to compensate you.
132 132 302 (Take them) 134 (There's got to be something else?) 133
133 133 301 Travelling Wizard Hey, enough is enough. I'll show you what I have up my sleeve. 1
134 134 401 200 2 954
135 135 401 2 848
136 136 301 The Travelling Wizard suddenly points to the sky, shooting a flare-like light ball upward. It then explodes into fireworks.
137 137 301 Travelling Wizard Calling all former heroes! Come help me, my friends! 1
138 138 401 200 2 954
139 139 401 2 848
140 140 301 Soon, another similar light ball rises to the sky from not far away and explodes into three mocking faces with their tongues out, along with a spell that delivers a voice message—
141 141 301 "You deserve it."
142 142 301 Travelling Wizard ... 1
143 143 302 ... 144
144 144 201 1 500166
145 145 301 1 Lucia What do we do now, Commandant? 1
146 146 201 1 500410
147 147 203 100 1 0.1 80 -100
148 148 401 2 3077
149 149 301 1 In the flash of an eye, the Travelling Wizard twists his body from an impossible angle and kneels to the ground, as if he and the earth have become one.
150 150 301 Travelling Wizard I'm sorry, mighty heroes! I promise I will never, ever, never-ever do this again... 1
151 151 201 1 500166
152 152 301 1 Lucia Just surrender what you earned from the frauds. 1
153 153 201 1 500410
154 154 301 1 Travelling Wizard ...Um, I'm terribly sorry, but I have spent it all. 1
155 155 302 ...How? 156
156 156 301 Travelling Wizard Because the orphanage needed a lot of money... 1
157 157 301 Travelling Wizard Gargh! What are you doing?! Nooo! Help! 1
158 158 302 Search his body with force. 159
159 159 301 Dungeon Master Ayla Commandant rolls... Success. There aren't many coins left on him, but a letter of appreciation with childish drawings on it catches your attention.
160 160 202 1 1
161 161 201 1 500166
162 162 301 1 Lucia Looks like he didn't lie this time. 1
163 163 201 1 1031001
164 164 301 1 Liv Still, what you did was not right, Mr. Wizard. You were supposed to pay them out as rewards. No matter what you want to do with them, you need to seek approval first. 1
165 165 201 1 500410
166 166 301 1 Travelling Wizard I had no other way out... The orphanage would go bankrupt if I didn't do that. 1
167 167 202 1 1
168 168 301 Gray Raven members exchange looks with one another.
169 169 201 1 1031001
170 170 301 1 Liv That's not true, Mr. Wizard. 1
171 171 301 Liv We can waive our portion, but you must return the rest to the others. 1
172 172 201 1 500410
173 173 301 1 Travelling Wizard But I don't have that much money. 1
174 174 201 1 1031001
175 175 301 1 Liv Then tell them the truth and try to talk with them. 1
176 176 301 Liv If they can't accept it, you should work hard to earn more coins so you can pay them back. 1
177 177 201 1 500410
178 178 301 1 The Travelling Wizard didn't answer immediately. Instead, he stares at Liv and thinks for a while, then lets out a sigh.
179 179 301 Travelling Wizard ...Fine, I give up. I have never met any heroes like you. 1
180 180 201 1 1031001 1
181 181 301 1 Liv Good. I hope you can keep your promise. 1
182 182 202 1 1
183 183 301 You no longer have any reason to stay here. After a short discussion, you decide to continue heading toward the capital.
184 184 201 1 500410
185 185 301 1 Travelling Wizard What are you going to do? 1
186 186 201 1 500026
187 187 301 1 Lee To finish our unfinished business. Like you said before, we are going to save this world. 1
188 188 201 1 500410
189 189 301 1 Travelling Wizard ... 1
190 190 301 Travelling Wizard Fine. I asked you to do it, so I should provide my help too. 1
191 191 301 Travelling Wizard Besides, maybe you really can find that place and enter it. 1
192 192 302 What do you mean... 193
193 193 301 Travelling Wizard It's been a long time since anyone ever got inside the Realm of Dragons. 1
194 194 301 Travelling Wizard How about a real "transparent deal"? I will provide you with real, much-needed help, as long as you can do me a little favor... 1
195 195 202 1 1
196 196 301 RImgBg1Shake ??? So, what did he get into this time? Or is he being bullied?!
197 197 301 The sudden shouting has scared the Travelling Wizard. He immediately bounces up from the grass.
198 198 301 A few well-armed adventurers rush out from the forest and gaze at Gray Raven.
199 199 301 Sharpshooter He must have got into trouble again, sigh. Ever since I knew him, he has been doing this non-stop...
200 200 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Knight Dear heroes! We used to be heroes too. Can you please return him to us after beating him up?
