However, Rein was unaware of the happenings inside the prison, as he had already returned to the vicinity of the temporary camp.
As Rein recited the spell, an oval mirror soon appeared in mid-air.
Meanwhile, everyone in the camp saw Rein and showed expressions of surprise.
"Lord Rein, itâs really great to see you return safely."
"How did it go, was it smooth?" Sword Saint Terrio stood up to greet him with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord Terrio, it went fairly smoothly." Rein nodded and smiled.
"Lord Rein, it seems you must have gained quite a lot." Haleem glanced at the key chain in Reinâs hand and said with a smile.
He knew that with his strength, even if he was promoted to Dawn Wizard, he likely couldnât explore the second level alone like Lord Rein.
"I got the keys, but didnât have time to explore, the monsters inside are very strong."
Rein gestured at the key chain in his hand, shaking his head with a bitter smile.
He certainly wouldnât tell the truth.
After all, he was on the Federationâs turf now, and thereâs no guarantee people wouldnât covet it.
Also, he didnât want to find trouble for himself, it was better to quietly make a fortune.
"Oh? The monsters inside are strong?" Terrio asked with interest.
"Yes, I encountered..." Rein quickly recounted the events.
"Lord Terrio, if you intend to explore, remember not to delve into the third level; as for the second level, itâs best to act in teams, like with Lord Hernandez and other strong individuals."
At the same time, Rein kindly reminded Terrio.
After all, during this period, the interaction with Terrio was quite pleasant, and Rein thought Terrioâs character was good.
"Thank you, Lord Rein, I will be careful." Terrio nodded and said.
Nearby, Hernandez seemed to have heard something crucial, showing a thoughtful expression.
Regarding what Rein described, Sword Saint Terrio and Hernandez had no doubts, but for Haleem and those researchers, it seemed too exaggerated.
Many were whispering at the back:
"Isnât this too exaggerated? The strength of one goblin corpse matches Sword Saint Terrioâs strength?"
"And Lord Terrio needs to team up to go there; isnât this Lord Rein from the Empire underestimating our Federationâs Sword Saint?"
"What if Lord Rein is telling the truth?"
"I feel this Lord Rein might be exaggerating a bit."
"..."
These Second Level Liquidization Wizard researchers hadnât witnessed Reinâs strength, nor ventured into the first level themselves. In their understanding, Reinâs words seemed too exaggerated.
Even Haleem felt that Reinâs words might be too severe.
Rein naturally heard these whispers, but he didnât care about othersâ opinions, nor would he explain anything.
If they want to listen, let them listen.
If not, then go find death when unprepared, thatâs their own doing.
After all, he already gave a fairly impartial reminder in favor of Terrio.
"By the way, Lord Rein, you just mentioned a word, Fiend Demon?" Hernandez suddenly recalled something and said.
"Yes, could it be that Lord Hernandez has heard of it?" Rein asked with interest.
Earlier, Rein didnât mention the situation where three black fogs merged but simply touched upon it, âAfter killing the monster, black fog formed a Fiend Demon, with very strong power.â
"I recall reading a mention of it in some ancient book, but it wasnât detailed, just a few words." Hernandez shook his head and said.
"Apparently, the Fiend Demon is an offshoot of some ancient evil, which cannot be completely destroyed."
"Oh? Are there other records?" Rein thought deeply.
The fact it couldnât be completely destroyed aligns with the situation that no high-quality energy was absorbed after defeating it.
"Thereâs nothing else." Hernandez shook his head and said.
"Thank you, Lord Hernandez, for clarifying."
Rein felt a bit disappointed.
After confronting the Fiend Demon, he still felt quite apprehensive.
It seems he needs to consult Prince Menia about this Fiend Demon.
After all, considering Meniaâs status and experience, he knows many secrets unknown to ordinary Dawn Wizards.
"Lord Rein, since youâre back, shall we leave now?" Sword Saint Terrio proposed.
While Rein was exploring the prison, they had rested enough, and Terrioâs injury had already healed.
"Absolutely." Rein nodded and agreed.
...
Soon, the group followed the records on Floating Cityâs design map, quickly passing through two openings, and reached the third door on the second level.
The location of the third door was precisely opposite the direction of the prison, closer to the area where the Prototype exploded, resulting in a minimal number of goblin corpses.
This made those researchers even more convinced that Reinâs previous statements had a lot of exaggeration.
"Is it really a giant steel door?" Haleem looked at the thirty-meter-high metal door in front of them and couldnât help but marvel.
"Yes, the channel for Giant Demon Statue combat deployment definitely couldnât be small." Rein, having seen Floating Cityâs design map, naturally understood why the channel was designed so grand.
"The mechanical gate can no longer be locked, it can only be opened through this manual valve." Haleem frowned, pointing to a nearby shipâs wheel-shaped round dial.
