The Dablis Plains, located in the northwest of the Iris continent, brings a low-pressure environment from high altitude to the people here with a strong and healthy body.

And its complex geographical environment and endless mountain ranges have made those empires who have peeped at this place have collapsed here.

A strange scene has been formed near the Dablis Mountains, the great empire in the north, the Shining Gold Empire, has been trying to attack the Augustus Empire in the south through the Tablis Mountains, but Tablis has become a barrier between the two countries, both countries have the intention to encroach here, but they do not have the power.

In the face of the greed of the two empires, the Tables remained fearless or did not take it seriously, and their political system was still preserved in a fairly old era.

The city-state system, like the Greek city-states in BC, the various forces in the Tables Mountains rely on their own cities to divide the hills, and usually make trouble in their own acres and three-thirds of land, and only when they invade from other places will these forces form alliances with each other and unite against foreign enemies.

To be honest, Dablis has been able to stay safe from outsiders, and the combat power given to them by their strong bodies and the complex natural environment here are the main reasons. If it weren't for that, their strong physique would have been regarded as the best source of soldiers, and they would have been frantically strengthened.

At this time, Charles led Artoria with a caravan into the Dablis Mountains.

After finding a disobedient bad demon and killing it, plus the corpses of a group of salamanders, Charles relied on these to hand in the task. Although Charles had the idea of occupying this underground city near the exit of his castle, it was obvious that he did not have such ability at this time, and he knew very well that he could not underestimate any force that could survive in the underground world.

Since they can't devour each other, then why bother watching, Charles took Artoria to find a passage from the underground world to the surface world and came to the Iris continent.

When she saw the vast sky, Artoria breathed a sigh of relief, it was obvious that she was in the underground world for the first time, and she could not adapt to the darkness of the underground world, and could only rely on artificial light sources and shimmering plants.

And the order of the underground world is very brutal, you can only live there if you have enough strength, which is absolutely unbearable for Artoria who insists on justice, but unfortunately, she has to endure the sense of justice in her heart without enough strength in the underground world.

And when she came to the surface world, Artoria's sense of justice made the caravan attacked by the kobolds of the wilderness very grateful, and when Charles offered to take a ride, he agreed without hesitation, and specially sorted out a carriage for the two of them to rest.

In the wilderness, unless there are well-guarded caravans, few people will be willing to accept these adventurers following them, because sometimes adventurers turn around and become robbers.

It was only a little inquiry from the caravan that Charles learned something about the current situation in the Dablis Mountains.

As a region sandwiched between two great powers, Tables was able not to be invaded, in addition to the complex terrain and the strong physique of the soldiers, but also because the Tables knew very well that it didn't matter if they were scattered in normal times, but against foreign enemies, they would not allow any city-states to betray, and the betrayers would be attacked and annihilated by the whole family.

And the emergence of strong men is also one of the important reasons why they can survive, and now in addition to a few powerful city-states in the Dablis Mountains, there has always been a force that is independent of the political disputes in Dablis and guards this land independently.

The Tablis Mountain Eagle Warband, when a great empire invaded Tablis a thousand years ago, a war group formed by the strong men of Tablis, gathered the bravest warriors of Tablis, inheriting the will of the guardians of a thousand years ago.

However, Charles didn't care about these after learning about it, because along the way, Charles and Artoria both found that the gap between the strength of the Iris Continent and the underground world seemed to be a bit big.

When passing by some towns and villages, Charles clearly noticed that the strength of those vigilantes did not even have black iron, let alone the bloody killing aura of those soldiers in the underground world, obviously these militias were only attacked by the wilderness creatures of the country at most, even if the danger in the wilderness was very great, but it still could not be compared with the underground world.

However, the abundant resources and suitable environment of the surface world have made the population on the surface far exceed that of the underground world, especially the peaceful life on the continent without war in the past few years, which has made the population explode in recent years.

Under such a large base, Charles believes that there will definitely be a strong man born among them, which makes him dare not relax at all, after all, if a devil is found walking on the continent, he will definitely be exterminated by those churches.

With the creak of carriages, the caravan finally arrived in Agra, one of the main cities where Dablis traded with the outside world, and where one of the most powerful families in Dablis is today, the Calles family.

The caravan obviously came to Dablis often, and the guards at the gates of Agra City, after seeing the Chamber of Commerce sign on the caravan's carriage, inspected the caravan very casually, only glanced at it cursoryly, chatted with the caravan leader for a few words, took the money bag in the other party's hand and let it go.

Of course, this scene was seen by Artoria, which made her very angry at the dereliction of duty of the guards, but what she saw and knew in the underground world obviously had a great impact on this knight's lady, and she only flashed a trace of anger in her eyes, which did not show it on her face, which made Charles very satisfied.

After saying goodbye to the caravan leader, Charles took Artoria around Agra, much to Artoria's confusion.

"Teacher, what are we going to do next, although we have experienced some battles in the underground world and the wilderness in the past month, I feel that my skills have increased a little, but I don't think this level can be satisfied."

Charles looked around at the pedestrians and vendors on the streets of Agra City with trembling shoulders, he knew that Artoria was anxious to improve his strength, but the more he did this, the more time he had to delay, only in this way could he make Artoria more dependent on himself, and finally take Artoria's soul into complete control.

"Artoria, in addition to improving our own strength, we must also have our own power, otherwise do you think you can succeed if you go back alone?"

Artoria shook her head solemnly, and she sighed helplessly before looking at Charles.

"Teacher, do you have any ideas, we are really unfamiliar with life here, and we don't have enough money, how to build our own power."

Charles didn't speak, and looked at a young girl at the door of the mercenary association not far away with a smile in his eyes, the devil's natural soul talent made him very keenly aware of the hesitation and despair in the girl's heart, which made a smile curl from the corner of Charles's mouth.

"Artoria, our chance has come."
