Victor merely glanced at Miles indifferently as he listened to his flattery.

With the biggest obstacle removed, the underground jungle has changed hands, and the road ahead is now completely open. This is indeed a great victory.

"Where are the paths to the other passages?"

"Victor said calmly, his gaze fixed on Miles," Viktor said.

"plz follow me."

Miles bowed and smiled broadly.

After saying that, he walked toward the corpse of the "embodiment of greed".

"..."

Viktor followed silently behind, somewhat puzzled.

But then Miles suddenly began explaining the value of these roots of "the embodiment of greed," and he temporarily set those aside and began to study them seriously.

As a proper grey dwarf, Miles had a wide range of knowledge about various materials, but he only cared about the value these things could be exchanged for.

"This kind of 'Plunder Root' is the most valuable thing on plant-type monsters, and many offensive magical tools need to use it."

"Secondly, there's the 'Reconnaissance Root,' which can be used as a consumable..."

In a mere hundred meters, Miles clearly explained the value of each root system of the "embodiment of greed," and solemnly stated:

"I'll only take one root from each of these big guys. The rest should be dismantled by today, and they're all yours."

Seeing that the other party was so willing, Viktor was happy to oblige and simply nodded in agreement.

"You are the master of this place, so you can make the arrangements."

Miles didn't dare to respond, thinking that Victor was dissatisfied with his flowers. He remained silent for a moment, only daring to secretly observe the boy's expression.

But Viktor's expression remained calm, showing no sign of anything unusual.

And so, the two of them silently arrived in front of the root of the "incarnation of greed".

Then they circled around to the back of this enormous creature.

Viktor was initially puzzled as to why they had to take such a long detour, but once he arrived, he immediately saw the entrance blocked by the "Incarnation of Greed".

This is a hole that can only be passed by one person at a time. To get in, you have to squeeze through; at least that's how it appears on the surface.

"I didn't come this way when I entered your territory."

Looking at the darkness in the passage, Victor couldn't help but recall the path he had taken when he first met "The Incarnation of Greed" with his senior.

You should know that looking out from that cave entrance, there's a cliff, and on the other side is the jungle.

"This is the road to the outside world."

Just as he was pondering, Miles spoke up to explain, his expression still extremely respectful.

Then, as if guessing Viktor's thoughts, he added:

"If you're looking for another route, then it's probably collapsed. However, the territory's water supply hasn't been affected."

As Miles spoke, his smile seemed to become even more sincere.

But Viktor looked at the other person and knew that the smile wasn't entirely for him; it was more likely a sign of smugness.

Anyone would be proud to be able to govern their territory well.

Seeing this, Viktor smiled and said, "Alright, since you've already made arrangements here, I'll head back now."

"Rest assured, Lord Victor, when I return, I will bring back all the magical materials here."

......

Meanwhile, within Miles' territory.

Laura had slowly woken up, and then she just sat there staring blankly at the pile of notes on the table.

"Huh, what time is it now?"

Thinking this, she got up, pushed open the door of the storage room, and walked out. But through the window, she could only see streets illuminated by fireflies, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night.

She walked around the room again, trying to find her junior, but still couldn't find him.

Moreover, what's most disheartening is that even the most comfortable recliners are gone.

"What kind of person would take a chair from home with them when they go out?"

She muttered to herself again, then sighed silently, her mind drifting back to the tiring work she'd done the past two nights.

From the very beginning of his guidance of Viktor, the latter immediately displayed the qualities of a genius: he could learn anything instantly and grasp concepts immediately.

The other person doesn't need to study a certain piece of knowledge repeatedly; just hearing it is enough to learn it.

That's why she needs to keep teaching new things, starting from midnight and continuing until dawn, and then until she falls asleep.

She never imagined that she would fall into a deep sleep due to mental exhaustion after death.

"Unfortunately, I forgot to ask him about his insights from the learning process."

Laura thought to herself as she walked back to the storage room.

She was a studious person in her lifetime, never idle for a moment. If Viktor were here now, she would ask him for a chance to observe the secret technique up close.

Unfortunately, the other person wasn't there, so she had to find another way to record everything.

"Splash..."

After rummaging through the notes on the table, Laura found a few pages of notes that she had deliberately left behind while teaching her juniors the night before.

"Magic aura, magic intensity, specific attributes of magic, and conditions for using magic."

She silently scanned the names above the notes, a somewhat stiff smile appearing on her face.

Although she was unable to participate in Viktor's battle against the "Avatar of Greed," she was able to sense the magical fluctuations coming from the other side through their mental connection.

Each tremor of the connection was an accumulation or eruption of magic, and she recorded these moments.

Last night, she had been secretly using the [Detection] skill, a very ordinary first-level skill that can only detect magical energy at close range.

The user needs to make sufficiently accurate judgments to determine the magical aura and intensity of the person being detected.

"Alright, let me see just how dangerous your secret technique really is."

As a senior student and a member of Silvermoon Academy, she has always been very attentive to caring for those around her.

Having seen Victor's fire elemental markings that almost covered his entire arm yesterday, she simply couldn't put her mind at ease.

Since the other party is not present, it is a good opportunity to deduce whether the secret technique they possess is good or bad.

With this determination to achieve her goal, she hastily laid out the paper and began to quickly sketch out various runes, each stroke falling rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, he wrote down a long string of formulas.

The formulas would flash blue light the moment she wrote them down, then become ethereal, combining and differentiating in the air to produce results.

"A powerful single strike, after accumulating magic power, can achieve the effect of killing enemies of a higher level."

Before long, she had a rough idea, but when she saw the last answer, her expression froze:

"A volcano that burns everything."

To be precise, this cannot be considered an answer, but rather a "metaphor" derived from her formula.

She was still somewhat dissatisfied because she couldn't calculate a specific result.

"Click".

But just as she was about to continue her calculations, she heard the sound of a door opening behind her.
