“Oh? Why do you say that?” Seeing Philip’s actions, the woman asked.
“I have a grudge against the ancient dragon royal family,” Philip continued to make up a story. “Our faction was
located in a remote village, but a mine was found there, and their people happened to know about it.”
Everyone listened to Philip’s story as they continued walking.
“They gave our faction a three-days notice, including the residents of that town. But our people had been staying
there for generations, so how could we leave so easily?”
Philip gritted his teeth and said, “They resorted to violence when we disobeyed their orders, and even our mayor
who pleaded for mercy was killed to be made into an example. Our faction fell apart because of that.”
After he finished speaking, Philip raised his foot and kicked Hiram, who was hurrying along.

difficult for him.
Hiram said glumly, “My dear sir, it was the ancient dragon royal family who did that. It has nothing to do with
ordinary citizens like us.”
Seeing Philip’s insistence, several members of the White Marsh royal family pulled Hiram to the edge.
The woman turned to Philip and said, “The White Marsh royal family has always been kind to others. You can stay in
our territory in the future.”
“Thank you for your kindness, Miss. I appreciate it,” Philip said.
“I don’t know your name yet.”
Under the mask, Philip’s eyes darted around before he said, “My name is Carter Marsden.”
The woman nodded and said, “I’m Ayana Wisteria.”
Then, the woman quickly walked ahead.
Seeing that the other party was not interested in talking to him, Philip kept quiet.
Led by Ayana, this group chose a passage and went on. They came across a few stone chambers along the way,
but someone else seemed to have gotten there first, and the contents inside had already been taken away.
Due to the strong electromagnetic interference, the only function of the communicator in this forbidden land was to
show the time. They found a dry and somewhat clean stone room and decided to camp there.
Philip unintentionally approached Hiram, who made a fuss about being hungry.
After dinner, the White Marsh royal family made arrangements for some people to stay on guard duty while the
rest got into their sleeping bags. This stone room was pretty dim.

After everyone slept, Philip secretly untied the ropes that bound Hiram.
Seeing Hiram’s bewilderment, Philip whispered, “Don’t make a sound…”
Philip slowly created a wall made of earth to hide the two of them and slowly moved to the exit.
The guard on night duty was dozing off, and someone was snoring loudly.
Philip rejoiced at their good luck
The two of them ran for more than ten miles before finally stopping after going through three passages.
Hiram finally saw Philip’s face clearly.
Was this the same person who helped him in the camp last time?
Hiram thanked his lucky stars for this person to help him twice and said, “Thank you, Carter! I’ll never forget your
kindness!”
Philip smiled without comment.
