I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

As soon as he finished speaking, the root tip lifted the empty bottle and tossed it aside, causing the leaves to rustle and shake for a while.

"See that?" Margaret pointed to the tree trunk. "It even gives scores. The more it shakes, the more satisfied it is with the potion. It's fairly satisfied with today's bottle."

Lu Yuan looked at the man and the tree, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

A fourth-tier transcendent being and a tree that uses its roots as hands, spending all their time tinkering with potions. Sigh, I don't know what to say.

As for Rick, he remained lying there, like a corpse. The gray text notification was the same as always.

Lu Yuan glanced at it and left.

On the archbishop's side, Adrian is recovering very well and is already helping the church with the cleanup. Agnes is also there, looking quite well as well.

Their eyes met, they nodded to each other, and said nothing.

Some things need not be said anymore. From this day forward, Agnes is bound to the Forbidden Society.

She chose this path herself, and Lu Yuan has done everything he could.

The attendant, who was with the count, looked much better, though he still felt a bit weak.

He stood half a step behind the count, quiet and still wearing that chilling smile.

Count Helmut was issuing orders while looking at an open city map.

Aside from Klaus, the old count practically took on the responsibility of rebuilding and coordinating the entire city, with his subordinates constantly coming and going without a moment's rest.

As Lu Yuan passed by the square, he bumped into an unexpected figure.

A dwarf, carrying a tool bag and humming an off-key tune, strolled casually down the street.

Those around him ignored it.

Clearly, this is due to the characteristics of dwarves; ordinary people simply cannot see him.

But Lu Yuan could see it.

Green. I didn't expect this guy to still be in Bronze City.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and decided not to go up and strike up a conversation.

This dwarf seems a bit mentally unstable.

The group of people searching for the way left two days ago.

I heard they took on a new assignment, and with their air patrol fortress, they ran off cleanly without even saying goodbye.

Lu Yuan stood in the square and slowly looked around.

The city is being rebuilt, and everyone is going their separate ways. Klaus is leaving, the seeker is leaving, the old headmaster is leaving, and Rick is still lying there.

Of the people he met in Bronze City, there were only a few when he arrived, and even fewer left.

Ugh.

After standing there for a while with some emotion, Lu Yuan turned around and went back to his residence.

That night, Bohr, Dunn, and a few of the Night Watch brothers who were usually close to each other sneaked to Lu Yuan's residence.

Boer carried an oil paper package, while Dunn held two jars of wine.

The oil paper package was opened, revealing large chunks of braised meat, glistening with oil, and several snacks underneath.

"We knew you were leaving." Bor put his things on the table. "This is a farewell dinner the brothers chipped in on."

"Bronze City is still under reconstruction, so there aren't many places to buy food." He patted the bag of meat.

"But these things were specially reserved for me. Try them, Captain Lu. Ever since you came to Bronze City, I've seen you eating in the cafeteria every day. I bet you haven't tried any of our local snacks, have you? Hahaha."

Lu Yuan looked at the pile of snacks, then at the faces on the table.

"Alright, alright, everyone sit down," Lu Yuan said. "We'll talk after we finish eating."

The sake was clear sake, not very strong. Clearly, they had other tasks during the day and couldn't drink freely.

Bo poured a bowl for everyone, emptying the entire jar.

"May our Captain Lu find what he's looking for." Boer raised his bowl. "Cheers."

The clinking of wine bowls livened up the atmosphere among the group.

That night, no one mentioned taking care, and no one said they were reluctant to part with the food. Pieces of braised meat were eaten one by one, and bowls of wine were added half a bowl at a time.

Bohr recounted several incidents from his patrols, and Dunn listened with shining eyes.

The lights in the cabin stayed on until late into the night.

On the morning of the third day, just as dawn broke, Lu Yuan went to that hall for the last time.

The golden light of hope was enveloped by the ceiling of the hall. Under the tree, Rex's insect body lay there quietly, the gray and white text unchanged.

Jürgen has returned to his old position.

He squatted there, glanced at Lu Yuan, looking as if he hadn't woken up yet, and then lowered his head again.

Lu Yuan stood to the side, muttering to himself.

"Alright, I have to go now. Remember to take good care of yourself and write to me when you wake up."

The insect's body was quiet and still, no different from the past two days.

Lu Yuan didn't wait any longer and ruffled Jürgen's hair.

"Okay, keep an eye on Lake. When he wakes up, remember to have him write to me."

After saying that, he turned and left the hall.

In front of the branch office, several horse-drawn carriages were already harnessed, and supplies were neatly bundled together. Clearly, Klaus had already prepared these supplies in advance, so Lu Yuan didn't need to worry about it.

The Blue Knight stood beside the vehicle, dressed in a smart outfit with a light blue cape tied behind his back.

Lu Yuan tossed his luggage into the car, then suddenly remembered something and turned around to find Klaus again.

"There's another batch of materials on its way from Sandworm Town, and several more batches to come, all for me," Lu Yuan said. "After I leave, I probably won't receive the goods. Could you sign for them for me and exchange them directly for points?"

"It's nothing," Klaus said without looking up, waving his hand.

After making the arrangements, Lu Yuan returned to the convoy and climbed into the car.

"Walk."

The convoy rolled over the newly paved cobblestone road and headed towards the city gate.

The sun is rising.

As he left the city, Lu Yuan looked back one last time.

In the morning light, the outline of the city stood behind me. The collapsed sites remained empty, with newly erected skeletons scattered among them, and wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys. This city had almost disappeared, but now it was alive and getting better every day.

The convoy continued forward, the city's outline gradually fading in the morning light until it disappeared at the end of the road.

Ahead lies the north.

Meanwhile, in the main hall of the logistics area...

A golden light of hope quietly enveloped the area. Beneath the tree roots, Jürgen hugged his knees, his head drooping slightly. Clearly, he was dozing.

As the golden light flickered, the enormous insect body lying on the ground suddenly swayed slightly.

It's very light.

The roots wrapped around it trembled, and a layer of fine ripples spread across the golden light.

Then, everything returned to normal. A flash of golden light appeared and disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

Jürgen nodded again, smacked his lips, but didn't wake up.

The hall was quiet, and no one saw anything.
