Chapter 971 (2/2)

At this hts He turned around with a frown and saw the young apprentice fro loudly

“What’s wrong? Why are you acting all panicky?”

“Richard, Sir! Richard’s tea at the faitation, especially after the battle that almost took his life yesterday Richard alht of his companions and mentor But he held back his e respectfully

“Richard and tealad to see you arriving here safely I orried when I saw your signal for help earlier on but it seems like you’re fine This is wonderful But…”

Elliot revealed a gentle sroup

“… Who are they?”

“This hat happened, Sir Elliot…”

Richard showed a bitter smile

While Richard explained what happened the day before, Rhode’s group leisurely admired the scenery around them Many apprentices were thrilled to see that Richard and his teaed and wept in joy while the ht up with one another

“… This sure re, Rhode”

“Yeah…”

Rhode nodded and agreed with Canary In fact, he couldn’t help but recall the fun tis They were equally young, lively, and there was no difference except for the dangers in this world After all, there weren’t anyaround in the real world

This was also why Rhode agreed to travel together with Richard’s group Perhaps he saw it as a chance to reood times he had as a student

“Tsk School trips are the worst— always filthy and tiring Besides, I still had to write the reflection journal after getting horeed with Canary and Rhode At least, not Mini Bubble Gum

“… Reflection journal…?”

Christie cocked her head to one side and asked She had spent a lot of tie nouns that caht, a reflection journal; sos about the trip in What a joke Isn’t it good enough that I had fun for the trip? What’s there to reflect about? Don’t tell ?! You say, Christie, isn’t it nuts?”

“You will only understand sorown up,” Rhode said

Canary and Rhode displayed bitter smiles Indeed, they also had the sarew up and recalled the times, they realized that it wasn’t actually that terrible as it became a unique part of one’s row up in this world, Leader”

Mini Bubble Guaze between the ‘adults’ curiously On the other hand, Bell stood behind her quietly but this time, there were also two elves around them They were the elves Rhode rescued from the hunters earlier on Perhaps since this was their first ti captured by humans, the elves were very wary of them But for so with Rhode’s group As Rhode would be heading to the Deepest Labyrinth, he couldn’t send the elves back to safety, so he decided to keep them with him since they wouldn’t pose too much trouble Besides, the two elves weren’t entirely useless in battle They were half-druid and half-ranger, so they would be safe as long as they were vigilant

If they lost their lives, they could only blame it on their luck Besides, it was better to die in the claws of monsters than lead the life of a slave

Suddenly, a strange, hoarse voice sounded

“Woah, I ondering why the campsite’s so busy So you’re back, Richard I didn’t expect you to make it back alive”

In an instant, the cla man also dressed in an apprentice uniform, a wry smile plastered across his face There were three other apprentices around hi man as the leader of their pack Richard’s expression turned sullen

“Yes, I’m still alive And you are disappointed, aren’t you, Stewart?”

“Haha, how can you say that?”

The young man named Stewart cackled

“I’ve always been worried for you, Richard I heard that your team has faced some troubles, but it seems like it was just a small issue By the way, Richard”

Stewart turned around and squinted at Rhode’s group

“Who are those guys? This is the Mage Tower’s campsite, so aren’t you aware that outsiders are forbidden? I wonder how you et your identity, Richard You’re a e, not a mercenary Don’t mix around with those profane and crude people They won’t bring you any good”

Rhode watched silently with Canary standing beside hi in displeasure at the young ri But it was too late

“Richard, who is that bastrd?”

A young lady widened her eyes and stared with an excited expression
