the next day.

At dawn when the sky was only shining, the campfire at the foot of the mountain was extinguished.

While Sean was still asleep, Vivian entered his tent and dragged him up.

"Now is the time for the nocturnal monsters to return to their nest, and most of the day-traveling monsters will only appear after dawn. Now is the best time for us to enter the mountain."

Vivian gathered everyone together for this reason.

It's just that a group of girls seemed to have been prepared for this a long time ago, or they were used to this kind of life a long time ago, so all of them seemed to be full of energy, not at all sleepy.

Only Sheen, yawning constantly among the energetic girls, looked like she would fall down at any time.

"Really, it's too unscrupulous. Go and wash your face quickly and get your spirits up."

Vivienne drove Sheen off to wash up like a worried sister, causing Sheen to laugh bitterly.

"I thought I was used to getting up early when I came to this world, but sure enough, I still can't compare with the orthodox adventurers?"

As an adventurer, not only had to keep on guarding for several hours in the middle of the night, but also had to get up early and touch the mountains to complete the commission.

However, after entering the mountain, you have to encounter all kinds of dangerous monsters, and you can't help being sloppy. So even if you don't have enough sleep, you have to keep your energy up, and you can't relax. This aspect is equally harsh.

"Don't they think about sleeping and beauty sleep?"

Sheehan was washing in a languid spirit, while thinking about things so wildly, until he splashed cold water on his face and rubbed his face a few times, then he was full of energy.

Immediately, Sean returned to the girls and prepared to enter the Mangal Mountain Belt with the girls who were ready to go.

"Everyone, come here."

Vivian greeted everyone, and took out a map from his luggage and spread it out in front of everyone.

That is naturally a map of the Mangal Mountains.

On the map, there are not only detailed route signs, but also several special signs.

There are signs painted with a red "×", there are also icon signs that look like a pool, plus some other miscellaneous signs, this map is depicted very carefully.

"First of all, we first confirm the goal of our trip."

Vivian's eyes swept to everyone.

"Now that we have removed the blood sucking vine, the remaining two tasks are to collect spring water from the medium-sized magic source and obtain the salamander's skin."

Vivienne confirmed this first, and then said so.

"There are a total of seventeen sources of magic power in the Mangal Mountains, one is large, three are medium, and the remaining thirteen are all small, so we first eliminate all small sources of magic."

With that said, Vivian took out the quill and marked the thirteen pool icons on the map with "×".

Sheen knew that those pool icons were the locations of all the magical power sources in the Mangal Mountain Belt.

"Then, we will not go to the large source of magic power either." Vivian said: "Although the spring water from the large source of magic power is brought back, the client will be ecstatic to announce that we have completed this commission, even Extra rewards will be paid to us, but large sources of magic power generally gather the highest-level dangerous monsters in the area. The large source of magic power in the Mangal Mountains is said to be home to powerful monsters of level 80. For safety, we cannot approach There."

Vivian drew out a golden pool with a brilliant icon color on the map, and crossed out a nearby pool icon.

Because the source of magic power is too close to the large source of magic power, so Vivian crossed it out directly, right?

"In this way, there will be two remaining sources of magic power. One of them is closer to us, and the other is in the other direction of the mountain range. It is already clear which side we should go to."

Vivienne crossed out the other pool icon neatly, leaving only one pool icon.

Immediately afterwards, Vivian used a quill to mark the road from the map along the path from where everyone was to the remaining pool icon.

"This is the closest road to the source of the target's magical power. We will pass from here." Vivian tapped the road with the tip of the pen and said, "Follow this road. If it goes well, wait until we reach the destination. , It should be the time period when the monsters started to become active. We strive to collect the spring water before then, and then guard the vicinity of the source of magic power, wait for the monsters to approach, and hunt the salamander group immediately."

In this way, the task can be successfully completed.

"This is the battle plan. Any questions can be raised now."

Vivian asked everyone.

Thier, Lumia, and Melika didn't speak, and there was no problem thinking about it.

but...

"I have a question."

Sheehan raised her hand with a serious face and asked.

"What is the source of magic power?"

Sheehan wanted to ask this question a long time ago.

Until now, Sheen didn't know what the source of that magic power was.

However, upon hearing Sean’s question, Lumia and Melika couldn’t help but skewed their bodies and almost didn’t fall to the ground. Even Thier heard a speechless atmosphere, which made Vivian It is also dumb.

"It seems that you have a serious lack of common sense, Sheen."

Vivian said so helplessly.

However, Vivienne no longer casts suspicious eyes at Shee En as before.

"You should know that magic power exists in everyone's body, right?"

"......sorry, I do not know."

"This... this way..."

Vivian began to cast a sympathetic and even pity-like gaze at Sheen.

Even the rest of the girls were more or less helpless, making Thier silent, Rumia was at a loss, Melika also had a subtle expression, making Sean seem to be regarded as bad grades by the elementary school teacher. The students feel the same, and laugh endlessly.

"Then I will explain to you from the beginning."

Vivienne chuckled, then began to explain patiently.

"Everything in the world is likely to carry magic power, especially life itself. Since its birth, it will hold magic power, because the essence of magic power is vitality."

"Vitality can generate magic power after transformation, so even civilians will have magic power in their bodies, but it is very weak. Only by raising oneself to a certain level can they hold a considerable amount of magic power to use magic and skills."

"The world, as the existence that breeds all life and things, has an extremely large vitality operating in itself."

"Therefore, whether it is the atmosphere or the earth, there will be magical powers that belong to the world. When these magical powers are gathered in a large amount and are substantive, they will form a source."

"This is the source of magic."

Vivienne's explanation was quite simple and easy to understand, and Sean instantly understood the nature of the source of magic power.

However, there is one thing Sheen has actually wanted to ask for a long time.

"Magic power is transformed from vitality, right?"

Sheehan said in a tone as if he was going to complain.

"This setting is indeed very common, but I have always wanted to say, in this way, a lot of mana and vitality will be consumed, will people really not die?"

This is a question that Sheen has been struggling with for a long time.
