A large campfire was continuously burning beside the river. A group of wizards was seated around it, talking about some things.

Two Watchers had been designated near the shore, patiently waiting for Angele to wake up.

"Master has woken up!" When they noticed the movement of Angele, they immediately sent word to the camp through energy particles.

"Has Lance finished communicating with the Flame Scorpions yet?" Angele stepped out of the river, and with a flick of his finger, the energy particles remove the river water from his body immediately.

"It is done. Lance has been waiting with the scorpions," one of the black robes answered quickly.

"Thanks for guarding the safe zone for me." There was a gentle smile on Angele's face.

"It is our pleasure." The two bowed slightly to Angele. Clearly, they were a tad different from the other wizards he had met.

Once the wizards in the camp were informed of Angele already finishing his meditation, they quickly walked to him, including the wizard called Lance.

"Ask the Flame Scorpions to get ready. I will have them use their flame breath soon," Angele spoke in a calm tone.

"...Understood..." Lance nodded several times.

Angele turned around and returned to the camp as he still needed to do a few preparations.

"Wait! Master wizard! I have something of great importance to tell you. It is about the secret treasure within the mountain!"

Angele narrowed his eyes; Lance's words surprised him.

"Secret treasure?" Angele repeated. "Is this the same treasure we talked about beforehand?" He looked at Hakeem.

Hakeem nodded slightly and started explaining, "Master, the secret treasure within Nash had come from a rumor. It says that there is a garden of elemental fairies somewhere nearby the volcanic river. Many items considered legendary are within the garden. If you can find the entrance to this place, the fairies inhabiting it will gift you one of those items."

"The garden of the elemental fairies..." Angele rubbed his chin. He had indeed heard of this place before.

He raised his head to look at Lance. The man had a neat and handsome face, yet his expression was complicated.

Lance immediately forced a smile after seeing Angele staring at him.

"Master, we have already found the entrance to the garden. Several of my family members have already entered it as well. We are staying here for a while because we are awaiting their return. They are the only people who can take us to the secret treasure.

"Why are you telling me these, then? Do you truly think I will trust you?" Angele felt a tad curious.

"My family is in trouble right now...master. We are not getting the promised share of the mission. The other two families who came with us might acquire the legendary items and used these to annihilate my family after we return to the city." Lance narrowed his eyes. "I would rather give all the treasures to you so that the other two families cannot use the power of the items to fight against us."

"Let me be honest with you. I am not interested in the treasures. Hakeem, why don't you..."

"Master..." Lance's expression soon changed and interrupted Angele from further speaking.

*Pa*

The female captain slapped Lance right in his cheeks. Using so much force, Lance nearly fell to the ground.
