Early morning.

The half-red, sinister crescent moon in the sky had just disappeared not long ago, and the demons and skin-stripping monsters that howled all night outside the fortress had just quieted down.

Outside the towering walls of the Volcano Fortress.

Heaps of skin-stripping monster corpses accumulated, and occasionally one or two demons could be seen fallen around.

These were all fools, influenced by the moon at night, unable to control their inner savage desires, rushing over trying to scale the walls to slaughter the humans inside.

However, in front of such towering and majestic walls, and countless soldiers stationed on top, it was nothing less than walking into a trap.

Speaking of which, this dungeon seems to have seasonal changes.

It was the time when the cold wave was arriving.

However, because the entire fortress was built surrounding a volcano, the hot source underground kept the surroundings in a relatively mild environment.

The morning sun spread over the Volcano Fortress, and the soldiers needed to get up early to train, or to replace those who patrolled all night.

The sound of birds chirping outside the window, and the sound of armor clashing.

Lying on the soft Cloud Bed, Kane opened his eyes.

It had been a long time since he slept so comfortably as he did last night.

Even though, with their current strength, not sleeping for a long time would still not cause any impact.

But if you have a nice sleep, your spirit will be exceptionally full.

This is a creature's instinct, a habit and desire cultivated from a young age, waking up naturally is always a nice thing.

Looking at the Cloud Bed below him, Kane couldn't help but ponder; its range seemed to have expanded again.

Cotton Candy, upon entering sleep, has a hard time controlling its size; even if it controls its size before sleeping, it will release control as it falls deeply asleep and slowly return to its original state.

It wasn't an illusion; Cotton Candy indeed had grown larger.

It could now easily carry two people, flying in the sky without feeling crowded.

Checking its status bar, it was still in youth, it indeed seemed to be in the growing phase.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Cotton Candy would enter the next age stage.

Getting up and washing up, Kane came to the living room.

At this moment, the living room was empty.

Following the back door to the backyard, speaking of this small building outside the fortress, it might not count as a really good construct.

But in a fortress specially designed and built for war, such a small house could count as one of the most comfortable ones.

Just stepping into the garden, preparing to stretch lazily and bask in the sun, Kane was startled by a person lying in front of him.

After clearly seeing who was lying in the garden, Kane could only roll his eyes helplessly.

Longbei was leaning against the garden railing, one hand holding a skateboard, the other still holding a bottle of beer, snoring loudly with his eyes closed.

Looking at the garden ground, covered with skate marks.

Truly dedicated to his hobby.

Hearing the commotion from behind, Kane turned his head to look.

Kreya and Lilu were walking over from the direction of the living room.

"Kane, why are you up so early today?"

Kreya's voice carried a hint of teasing.

Regarding sleeping in, Kane was the most proficient in the entire team; he was almost always the last one to wake up.

Yet today, he was the first to wake up, which indeed was a rare occasion.

As Kreya, who walked over, saw Longbei lying on the ground, she got a bit startled.

"Why is this drunkard sleeping here?"

Facing Kreya's question, Kane could only shrug.

Lilu found it quite amusing, flying around Longbei a couple of times, taking out her Magic Rod and tapping Longbei's head.

Under the magic power, Longbei's beard turned into the shape of a duck.

The duck seemed alive, looking at its predicament in shock, then it opened its duck-bill woven from the beard, biting Longbei's cheek.

"Ouch!"

This bite didn't seem light; Longbei immediately opened his eyes wide and jumped up.

"What is it? What's biting me?" Longbei stretched out his hands, continuously patting the thing biting his face.

After a couple of pats, he found out it was his beloved beard: "My beard turned into a duck, ancestors above, I must still be asleep."

By now, Lilu was laughing uncontrollably in mid-air.

With a wave of her Magic Staff, Longbei's beard changed back to its previous appearance.

Even smoother and more glossy than before.

Longbei now knew it was Lilu, the little rascal, playing a prank on him, but feeling his beard now in better condition than before, he grunted twice, not minding it anymore.

Kane looked at Longbei's appearance and asked, "You didn't sleep here all night, did you?"

"Haha..." Longbei patted the dirt off his backside: "I accidentally got too carried away playing and just fell asleep here."

You're really undemanding.

Shaking his head, he returned to the living room.

It was a rare tranquil morning.

...

"Knock knock knock!"

Hearing the knocking on the door, Kane handed the cards in his hand to Longbei beside him, letting him take his place to play a round against Kreya.

Taking the cards from Kane, Longbei curled his lips.

My goodness, such bad cards, no wonder he wanted to go open the door.

Kane opened the door and stuck his head out, only to see a guard standing at the door.

Seeing Kane, the soldier immediately stood straight, his right hand on his chest, giving a salute: "Lord Kane."

"Hmm, what's the matter?"

Hearing Kane's question, the soldier immediately replied, "Commander Di Berrio sent me to find you, hoping you can go to the command center as soon as possible, there seems to be something very important."

Listening to the soldier, Kane nodded.

It should be that Finaris had already informed the Commander about the missing location of the seal, possibly coming to discuss the next actions.

"Alright, wait for me outside for a moment."

"Yes!"

Closing the door again, Kane returned to the living room.

"What's up, who came looking for you? Knight's smackdown, alright, you're dead, next." Kreya played her hand, asking Kane without looking up.

Calling over Yoyo, Kane replied, "Finaris seems to have started the plan, I'm going to the command center first."

"Hmm, be careful on the way."

With Yoyo, Kane followed the guard's guidance towards the command center on the mountain.

Along the way, Kane noticeably didn't feel those hidden gazes from yesterday.

Though unable to feel the gazes, he could still detect their positions, seemingly they had determined Kane to be harmless.

The mage tower, which always floated in front of the command center, had already been elevated high above.

The giant gemstone at the tower's tip continued to emit a radiant glow of magic power.
