In this way, the plan for the journey of the Thorn Squad back to the surface was formulated.

As a Grey Court mage who has completed his professional advancement, Abel's spell-casting ability is enough to influence the overall situation of a small and medium-sized battle, making it always in the city of Palomite in the awe of the worldly people who look at the caster, so Urs simply left it in the city with Koto, Crow, and Stonefist, firstly, to completely cut off the possibility of rebellion among those drow soldiers and the two gray dwarf officers, and secondly, considering that the remaining detachment will also need to return to the surface after a while, Mechanic mages who specialize in time and space spells can at least shorten the distance with magical means such as teleportation.

The 5-ring spell "Teleportation" is indeed one of the spells that Able has mastered, and the magical knowledge taught by the Sage of the Grey Court allows it to properly transform this spell with spatial attributes, whether it is to expand it into a small group effect, or to increase the maximum teleportation distance a little further, these special spell casting methods are theoretically feasible.

The day after the plan was finalized, Urs, Thea, Bellingis, and Dorothy left the city of Palomit after a day of preparation, embarking on a new journey along a shortcut to the east with the help of a group of underground dwarf guides personally selected by Moredi.

Instead of returning to Misty Island along the Hanging Tower, they set off directly east, intending to reach the surface location of the Golden Oriole Empire as soon as possible.

As an intermediate world sandwiched between the surface world and the dark realm, the hive maze is as its name suggests, like a bee's nest full of holes, or like a large spider web, and the end of each tunnel can further extend several forks in the road, which may sometimes inevitably remind adventurers with slightly more underground experience of the Minotaur's underground labyrinth.

Several underground gnome guides who set off with the team dutifully led the way for the four members of Detachment No. 1. The pygmy guides, who had traveled out of Palomet with the four of them, were familiar with the path of the hive labyrinth, and after two days they were brought to the dock of an underground river, where they boarded a boat controlled by the lizardmen and made their way down the waterway.

Although many of the creatures of the Underworld are evil, it is not excluded that some residents of the neutral faction are among them, especially within the scope of the middle world of the Hive Labyrinth.

The gnome guide tells the four that the lizardmen who manage the docks are a small tribe that migrated from the surface swamps many years ago, and that they are said to have lost the battle and were defeated by another tribe of lizardmen on the surface, and that the few remaining remnants eventually settled down on the underground river, and then interacted with other creatures in the hive maze in order to survive.

These lizardfolk immigrants don't have a complicated relationship with their surroundings, as long as you provide them with money or supplies, they will put their skills at your service for you, such as taking you across the river in their boats, using their swimming skills to help you dive and find objects, or teaching you the language of the lizardfolk for a fee, and selling you some information and rumors they know...... Wait a minute.

Of course, if you're sincere enough and impress them with the reward you're offering, an army of lizardmen mercenaries will be ready to fight for you.

For this kind of exiled creatures far from their homeland, Urs has a general understanding of their way of life, and knows that there are in fact many non-human races in the surface world that are separated from the race and operate within the scope of human vision, such as the lords of the southern Xinjiang of the Golden Wing Empire have more or less hired orc mercenaries, and the miners in the mountains sometimes use food to recruit cavemen or goblins who are excluded by their fellow tribes to dig mines for themselves, not to mention the Josman Di Brown of the Free City of Philippe. Mr. Mayor Alstor even did pearl trading with a group of Loka fishmen in shallow waters a few years ago.

The young man does not have the common currency of the underworld in his hands, but then again, it is not necessary to hire these lizardmen along the way and take them to the Northlands, after all, this kind of alien mercenary who has been in exile has combat effectiveness, but it is fundamentally very sensitive and selfish, and it is very likely that he will leave his employer and flee as long as he encounters a danger that endangers his own life.

The lizardmen don't care about their reputation on the surface, but they are still very concerned about their credibility near the new home of the hive maze, so they are honest in driving the boat to carry everyone after collecting a fee from a few underground gnome guides.

The underground river beneath the crowd has a drow name called "Colbauth", which means "known shortcut", and the river is as its name suggests, since the lizardmen have been sailing the boat out of the dock, and the speed of the water and the boat complement each other day and night, greatly speeding up the process of Urs's plan, and it only took five days to get everyone to the designated riverbank, and then watch a small team of four people led by young men and several underground dwarf guides say goodbye to each other.

Following the last hint of several underground dwarf guides before saying goodbye to his group, Urs and his three female team members found the entrance to a cave not too far from the river bank, and gradually ascended the tunnel in the cave, sometimes with a clear sense of climbing in the process, and unconsciously spent the last half day of this journey, and then found that the wind began to blow in the depths of the tunnel.

"It's the air that's moving, and the front may be the exit!" Bellinglith walked at the front of the four, her small feet in leather boots and clever eyes exploring the front with the thief skills that Gloriden had taught her, and her round face immediately turned her head excitedly to inform everyone when she felt the breeze on her face.

Urs carried the molten iron greatsword on his back with a sturdy iron chain like in the previous life, and after seeing the smiling face of the little girl turning towards him, he also realized that the exit might be in front of him, and immediately exhaled a breath of relief, and looked sideways at the wolf-eared priest girl and the red-haired warlock lady not far away, and his eyes suddenly became a little trance-like, and he inadvertently remembered that it seemed to be a long, long time ago......

Well, well, it wasn't too long, but it seemed to be similar to the scene in front of us when I and Thea escaped from the snowfields of the Northland during the snowmelt moon, following the path of the frost forest through the interior of the Notelli Mountains, and from the Tomb of the Wraiths to the cavernous tunnel in the eastern plains of Okazawa.

The breeze that symbolized hope—the flow of the wind urged them to quicken their pace, and finally escaped death, and lived to see the dawn after the long night faded.

The young man suddenly felt some emotion from the bottom of his heart, he didn't expect that such a long time had passed since that experience, and now he was going to take the necessary steps forward in the passage of a geotechnical tunnel with the hint of wind breath, but this time it was no longer to escape anything-

Rather, it's for the challenge!

Return to the surface of the earth, go to the Northlands, challenge the cruel fate that you have witnessed and experienced once in your previous life, and ask the undead bastards of Byron Tas with your weapons if you have the chance, I wonder if you have really prayed to your Grim Reaper, and cursed me not to find even a comfortable leveling area from then on?

What, you don't? Or did you forget?

It's a shame then—because I'm going to be back to settle accounts with you dead people!"

The young man tilted his head, gritted his teeth and chuckled, and in his own heart he spoke harshly to his future enemies, then waved his hand for Thea and Dorothy to follow, and finally found a curtain of dazzling white light at the end of the tunnel like a door.

He took a deep breath, walked quickly past the figure of the little girl, and took the brunt of reaching out to push away the white light, and his brown eyes immediately bathed in a pure white with his raised arm for half a second, adapted, and then opened his eyes naturally, and saw that outside the entrance of the cave was a barren hill overgrown with weeds, and the blue sky sprinkled the shadows of autumn through the gap in the maple leaves—

and the long-lost sunshine.
