"Yo~ little guy."

With a brisk pace, Bell returned to the camp and jumped directly onto Edu's shoulders, got into his hood, and changed into a comfortable position to curl up.

Bale's return makes Edu very happy.

Before, he was worried because he was about to set off but Bell was still nowhere to be seen.

Bell was in a good mood. He was lying in Edu's hood. The size of the hat was just right for him, as if he was lying in a hammock.

And lying in the hat, other people can't see him, and he won't be stared at by all kinds of eyes, so Bell is happy and at ease.

"Mr. Bell, I have good news for you."

Edu took out the dry food from his pocket, reached out and broke off a small piece and handed it to Bell.

This is a cake made from cooked grains. Although it is very hard, it has a grainy aroma when chewed.

"Sister Jasmine told me that if I become an apprentice bard before the end of this year, the Long River Adventure Group will sponsor me to study at the Conservatory of Music."

When Edu told Bell the news, he looked very excited.

But Bell, who was eating pie in the hood, said that it was just as I expected.

"How long will it take before the end of this year?"

"The New Year will be in two and a half months, and time is very tight."

Bell, who has not been in this world for a long time, is not sensitive to the time calendar of this world.

But when he heard that there were still two and a half months left, he felt that this time was more than enough.

Bell thought about it and realized that he had become an apprentice-level bard from scratch in just a few days. This little guy Edu also had magical powers. Under his one-on-one personal training, Edu became an apprentice-level bard.

Bards simply don’t take it easy.

"Relax, it'll be alright as long as I'm here."

After finishing the multigrain pancake delivered by Edu, Bell felt very confident.

He chatted with Edu from time to time, and the team of the Changhe Adventure Group was also assembled at this time.

The team that looks quite large and carries a lot of equipment and materials is lined up at the entrance of the mine camp, and it looks quite impressive.

If you didn't say anything, you would never have guessed that this was a group of defeated troops waiting to evacuate.

"Let's go."

The leader of the Changhe Adventure Group stood outside the group. He was not very interested. He just waved his hand and the adventurer in front of the group led the group forward.

The team leader just kept watching the people in the team move forward, and finally left him alone at the back of the team to escort the team.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Opposite the evacuation team were members of the Blood Hand Mercenary Group. The leader of the team had an indifferent expression and said this in a nonchalant manner.

Among the members of the Blood Hand Mercenary Group behind him, many people had already sneered.

The leader of the Changhe Adventure Group, who was filled with helplessness, was just about to turn around and leave when the people who were evacuating in front of him stopped.

The strong tremors on the ground attracted everyone's attention.

About a minute after the ground shook, a strange purple light appeared in the sky, which was particularly eye-catching.

Everyone looked towards the direction from which the light came, which was the depths of the Bamboo Sea.

"What happened?!"

"With such a large-scale vision, can the legend be true?"

"The ruins deep in the Bamboo Sea..."

In an instant, all the adventurers who had wandered around the Bamboo Sea remembered the secret of the ruins that had been widely circulated but had not been found.

Everyone seemed to have a lot to say, but before they looked at each other, it was about to become noisy.

The leader of the Blood Hand Mercenary Group, who looked indifferent before, coughed and said to the leader of the Changhe Adventure Group who was escorting the team:

"Please also remember the contract. In the next twenty years, the main members of the Changhe Adventure Group cannot directly participate in tasks related to the Bamboo Sea."

After saying this, the faces of the team leader and the senior adventurers here, who were originally in a complicated mood, changed.

The leader's mouth suddenly dropped, and then he turned away without saying a word.

The Changhe Adventure Group has signed a contract with the Blood Hand Mercenary Group. The Blood Hand Mercenary Group will use those detained in the station in exchange for all the business of the Changhe Mercenary Group in the Bamboo Sea.

Within twenty years, the main members of the Changhe Mercenary Group are not allowed to directly participate in tasks related to the Bamboo Sea.

When signing the contract, the main members of the Changhe Adventure Group present all signed their names on the contract scroll, and they had to sign.

In this magical world, contracts are very binding. At least the adventurers in front of them cannot break the cursed contract they signed.

The team leader finally took the people away, and as the loser, he felt dejected.

The atmosphere in the Changhe Adventure Group was a bit dull, and you could only occasionally hear a few hushed conversations. After all, the leader of the team looked so ugly, and the lowest-level adventurers and miners couldn't communicate loudly.

But people's joys and sorrows are not the same. For a small person like Edu, the disputes between the two adventure groups and the changes in the bamboo sea are not something that Edu's level can understand.

The discerning Edu, although he remained silent in the team, had already started chatting with Bell in private in animal language that humans could not hear.

"Mr. Bell, does he know what that purple light is?"

"I can't come."

Bell, who was lying in the hood, was not very concerned about the conflict between the adventure groups, but the purple light flashing from the depths of the bamboo sea made Bell fall into thinking.

Bell thought of the team of adventurers he met who were a bit too strong.

This group of adventurers, whose strength obviously does not belong to the Bamboo Sea, came to the depths of the Bamboo Sea to find a certain ruins.

"Don't think too much about it, little guy. Even if there are any ruins, the treasures in the ruins have little to do with us."

Bell's attitude towards the ruins is very casual. He knows that if the ruins are really discovered, a large number of adventurers will definitely go to explore them.

Bell, a white-haired mouse, and Edu, a bard who has not yet started, want to compete with these people for the treasures in the ruins, which is a bit like giving up.

"Let's be sensible and go to school honestly."

"Yes, I will become a bard's apprentice before the end of the year."

Chatting about various things, Edu followed the team slowly out of the bamboo sea.

As you walk toward the outer edge of the Bamboo Sea, the originally lush and dense bamboos gradually become sparse, and flat official roads that are often repaired appear in front of everyone.

As the team continued to advance, the originally neat team also split into two groups.

Eighty percent of the people are ready to return to the Changhe Adventure Group's base. After all, they have all settled down there.

Edu and some adventurers set out on the road to Blue Star City.

Although this kid Edu lives in poverty, his mother left him a house in Cangxing City, and he is a serious native of Cangxing City.
