The region between Rivo City and Sky Pearl City was known as the Clester Region.

Red Cape Town, where Evan and Lia had stayed was also located within the Clester Region.

At the end of every month, many people traveled from Rivo City to Sky Pearl City through the Clester Region, especially merchants.

In Rivo City, one could buy anything, ranging from high-level Magical Beast meat to rare herbs, potions, armor, weapons.... Anything.

All of this was possible because of the Dark Forest.

Since there were countless Magical Beasts living inside the Dark Forest, people could easily obtain the meat of Magical Beasts. They could also find rare medicinal herbs growing throughout the forest.

People who were unable to use the herbs or the bodies of Magical Beasts would sell them to merchants inside the Rivo City.

These merchants would then use the materials to create potions, weapons, armor, and other useful items.

After producing potions and various weapons, these merchants would travel to Sky Pearl City every month to sell their items at higher prices.

Since Sky Pearl City was a Dungeon City, these merchants could sell their items for extremely high prices there.

Potions and weapons were necessary for anyone entering a dungeon. Without potions, it would be difficult to heal injuries or recover mana quickly enough.

Likewise, without a good weapon, killing the monsters inside a dungeon would be extremely difficult.

Currently, Evan and Lia were also traveling along the same route that these merchants took every month to travel from Rivo City to Sky Pearl City.

Because this route was essential for merchants, it was occasionally cleared of Magical Beasts, making it relatively safe.

Although Evan was not afraid of high-level Magical Beasts, since he was traveling with Lia, he did not dare to take unnecessary risks by traveling through more dangerous areas.

Because it was still not the end of the month, Evan and Lia did not encounter many merchants traveling along the route and saw very few people.

After flying for the entire day, Evan finally landed near a large tree late in the evening.

"This place looks good. Let’s camp here tonight..." Evan said as he looked around.

Lia nodded with clear anticipation in her eyes as she knew they would reach Sky Pearl City tomorrow.

It had been a very long time since she had last seen her parents, and although she didn’t say anything, she missed them terribly.

Evan quickly began setting up the camp while Lia gathered some wood to make a campfire.

Once the camp was set up and the fire was lit, Evan looked around and nodded.

He had been continuously using Wind Detection to monitor their surroundings, and during this time, he hadn’t detected a single Magical Beast, indicating that the area was indeed safe.

It was already beginning to get dark by the time Evan finished setting up the camp.

After flying for many hours, Lia was very tired, so Evan took out some food that his grandmother had packed for them.

"Eat and then go to sleep..." He said as he gently patted her small head.

Lia nodded half-groggily and began eating her food.

As he watched her eat, Evan thought for a moment before asking,

"Lia, do you remember the face of the guard who sold you to the kidnappers?"

Hearing Evan’s question, the sleepiness Lia had been feeling instantly disappeared, and she flinched for a moment.

However, remembering how Evan had killed the terrifying Giant Ape with just a single punch earlier, she gradually relaxed and nodded.

"I remember. He didn’t cover his face when he came to call me."

Evan nodded and gently patted her head.

"awhen we reach Sky Pearl City and you see him again, just tell me. I will beat him for you, okay?"

Lia nodded obediently and soon finished her food.

Once she had eaten, Evan sent her to the tent to sleep while he remained seated beside the campfire.

Looking at the flickering fire before him, a dangerous light flashed in Evan’s eyes as he thought about the guard who had helped the salve traders.

Taking a deep breath, he took out a piece of meat from his storage ring and roasted it over the fire.

Although he had ready-made food with him, he needed something to do to pass the time, so he simply decided to roast some meat for himself.

The meat was from the Rank One Ape he had killed earlier.

Although he hadn’t taken the ape’s entire body with him, he had taken a small portion of its meat for himself.

Soon, the meat began to cook, and Evan sprinkled different spices over it.

Some time later, when the meat turned golden brown and began dripping with oil, he removed it from the fire and took a bite.

As he chewed the meat, his expression gradually turned strange and when he finally swallowed it, he fell silent.

He looked at the piece of meat in his hand for a few seconds before finally throwing it away.

’Damn it. I am never going to eat the meat of an ape again. Especially if it’s one with a fire-related ability...’

Evan cursed as he felt a strange, fiery taste lingering in his mouth.

After drinking a large amount of water to remove the strange taste, he finally felt better and honestly ate the food that his grandmother had packed for him instead of trying something new.

Once he had eaten his fill, he didn’t go into the tent to sleep and instead remained seated outside to keep watch.

About an hour after Lia went to sleep, Evan suddenly felt something enter the range of his Wind Detection.

Now that his Magic stat was over three hundred points, his control over his skills had increased greatly.

From the aura of the creature that had entered his detection range, Evan could tell that it was an Unranked Magical Beast at around Level 20 to 23.

Without even bothering to stand up, he focused on the location he could sense through Wind Detection, and his eyes glowed with a faint green light.

Around one hundred and fifty meters away from Evan’s location, a deer with deep brown eyes and sharp horns was slowly walking toward the burning fire in the distance.

However, suddenly, the wind above its head moved and before it could react—

Woosh!

A bullet made of compressed wind formed above it and instantly shot through its head, killing it on the spot.

Evan continued to stare at the flickering fire before him without any change in his expression.

This was another concept of his Wind Monarch skill that he had developed recently.

Using Wind Detection to pinpoint the location of a target and then killing it from a distance.

He had thought about using this method right after thinking about the potential of his Wind Detection ability.

However, controlling the wind in a distant area without physically going there was not an easy task.

It was only after becoming an Elemental Apprentice and gaining greater control over the elements that he was able to do it now.

Moreover, as long as he didn’t expand the range of Wind Detection too much, its current mana consumption was not very high, making it easy for Evan to keep the skill active almost all the time.

For the next four hours, nothing happened, and the night gradually deepened.

Evan was practicing his Wind Monarch skill while keeping an eye on his surroundings when suddenly, five presences entered the range of his Wind Detection.

Moreover, these five were not Magical Beasts or monsters but humans.

Evan raised an eyebrow when he sensed them, and a deep frown appeared on his face.

’Are they chasing someone?’

He thought inwardly because, through his Wind Detection, he could confirm that four figures were chasing after someone ahead of them.

The thing that made him even more speechless was that they were running directly toward his location.

Evan looked at the campfire burning in front of him, and his mouth twitched slightly.

’I will have to think twice before lighting a campfire in the future if I don’t want to attract unnecessary trouble at night...’
