Seeing Brian and Hesiah's retreating figures, Copperhead, who was standing there hesitating, suddenly became anxious and couldn't help shouting.

Seeing the two people turning back at the same time and looking at him doubtfully, he immediately changed his expression as if changing his face, and said in a pious tone:

"Sir, Taimora, actually, I've long been tired of eating dark dishes and so on. I don't care. It's just that as the most devout worshiper of the goddess, how could I not go to the largest temple of Taimora in Arabay City?

, let’s admire the goddess’s grace, don’t you think so?”

Brian gave Copper a look of contempt, and the other party quickly followed their footsteps shamelessly.

When they walked to the exit of the Lightless Woods, Brian saw Severil, the derro dwarf Gyp and the Kuo-toa monk, who had been waiting for a long time, as well as the myconid king Bastifer and Teemo.

leader.

Obviously, these people were there to see them off.

"Brother, you're leaving now. I'm really reluctant to leave you." Teemo took the lead in spraying out a ball of teleportation spores and said to Brian.

"Don't worry, when I return to the surface world, I can use the teleportation circle to come and see you." Brian nodded slightly towards the Myconid King and said to Teemo with a smile.

"Is it true?" Timo stared at his two golden eyes the size of rice grains. "I heard from Grandpa that you will always help our people in the Sunless Woodland. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true." Brian looked straight and said to these fungi in a serious tone, "Don't worry, this is a promise I made to your great fungus lord, and I will never break it."

Severil on the side couldn't help but look surprised when he saw Brian's solemn expression.

He really couldn't understand what the other party had talked about with the gods of the myconids that made him pay so much attention to these myconids.

"Thank you, Sir Brian, for your generous help." Under the leadership of the Myconid King, the myconids here lowered their umbrella-shaped mushroom heads and bowed to Brian.

"Sir, from what direction do you plan to return to the surface?" After some pleasantries, the leader of the explorer association asked.

"I am going to cross the Dark Lake and go from the Gray Dwarves' Royal City of Aldus to the Kingdom of Cormyr on the surface." Brian thought for a while and said his destination.

"Don't you know, Your Excellency?"

The leader of the explorer association continued, "In the opposite direction of the Dark Lake, there is also a city of underground dwarfs. There is a road there that allows you to reach the Kingdom of Sambia more quickly, without having to go far to cross the dangerous Dark Lake.

.”

"Of course I know." Brian nodded slightly and then said:

"If I take this road, I must be separated from my companion Jip and this little fish man. In this case, it will be very dangerous for the two of them to walk alone in the dark area."

This was the route he had long thought about.

Since he plans to support the Myconid race in the Underdark Region, with his current ability, he can only temporarily rely on other local forces in the Underdark Region.

Brian happened to know about the upcoming turmoil in the gray dwarf's royal city of Aldus.

If he can seize the opportunity to win over this group of gray dwarves who are good at building, both these myconids will play a huge role in establishing his power on the surface.

Seeing Brian deliberately pretending to be serious, Hesiah couldn't help but smile.

Obviously, the other party had already told her the detailed plan.

The derro and kuo-toa on the other side heard that Brian was thinking about them, and they all cast surprised glances.

On the contrary, the golden elf Severil looked disappointed.

"If that's the case, then we'll say goodbye here."

Severil walked up to Brian, stretched out his right hand, and said with a smile: "I'm very sorry, I have to rush back to the Supreme Forest as quickly as possible, so I won't accompany you."

"It's understandable." Brian shook his hand and said solemnly: "Don't forget what you promised me."

"Don't worry." Severil assured him, "As long as I return to the Supreme Forest, I will immediately use all my power to help you find your lost companions near Silvermoon City and notify you in time."

"Then I'll trouble you." Brian patted his shoulder and blessed:

"Take care, Crown Prince's bodyguard from Evermeet Island, pioneer of the expeditionary force in the High Forest. May the sweet springs and laughter be with you until we meet again."

"The sweet spring and laughter are also with you, Brian." Severil also patted his shoulder and responded sincerely: "I hope we can meet again in more peaceful days."

After the golden elf finished speaking, he waved his hand in a human way and disappeared alone into the fluorescent darkness.

"It's time for us to go."

Brian glanced at Hesiah beside him, said goodbye to the Myconid King and Teemo, and headed in the opposite direction of Severil.

When they walked out of the lightless forest, Hesiah, who was walking side by side, finally couldn't help asking Brian the doubts in his heart: "Brian, what on earth were you and Severil discussing yesterday?

Long time."

"These things... you don't know even after I tell you." Brian replied casually, and then he seemed to remember something, and immediately took out a crystal bottle from the dimensional bag and motioned for Hesiah to look over.

"What is this?" the sword mage asked curiously.

"The blood of ancient eladrin." Brian showed a mysterious smile.

"This is what I asked...from Severil. You must have encountered a bottleneck. When you have time, I will help you arrange a blood baptism ceremony to get the blessing and approval of the Fairy Wilderness.

Your strength should be able to reach the fourth level of the Model Way."

"How do you know?" Hesiah looked at Brian with wide eyes in surprise.

When she asked this question, she immediately regretted it.

Because she originally thought that she had long been immune to Brian's often unexpected actions. Who had ever wanted to see such a precious thing, so she couldn't help but ask.

What made her even more unbelievable was that a battle mage actually knew how to arrange a blood baptism ceremony.

"Don't look at me with such stupid eyes." Brian put away the crystal bottle and said to her, "You have to understand that as your strength improves, my safety will be more guaranteed. After all...

.”

Noticing the derro dwarf in front of him, Brian turned his speech into telepathy and said to her: "After all, our next destination is the gray dwarf's King Aldus City, and we may even face an adult red dragon.

.So, it’s not too late for you to regret it now.”

"I'm not even afraid of you, so what should I be afraid of?"

Hesiah snorted nonchalantly, patted Brian on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will act as a qualified guard for you before returning to the surface."

"It is truly an honor for me to have a noble lady serve as my escort." Brian smiled and speeded up his pace unconsciously.

"So, just have fun in your heart." Hesiah brushed the hair in front of his forehead, smiled back at him, and quickened his pace to catch up.

It won't take a while.

Their figures merged into the silhouettes of the fungi against the pale blue light.
