In the middle of the camp, a large pile of dry firewood had been stacked, as if someone had gathered it all from somewhere. The crackling sound of the splitting wood filled the air as the massive flames roared, but fortunately, the lack of wind kept them under control.

Lin, who always had to sit alone, even within the Hero’s party, liked quietly watching the flickering flames. The unpredictable movement of the fire always captivated his attention, allowing him to momentarily forget hunger and pain.

However, in front of this giant blaze, Lin was disheartened as everything turned into unpleasant noise.@@novelbin@@

“Haha! Don’t stare into the fire too much, or you might get burned without even realizing it.”

The exploration captain’s arm, holding a beer mug, firmly wrapped around Lin’s shoulder. The captain brought the beer mug to Lin’s chest, then stretched his neck out to drink from it.

“Just like love.”

His slightly curly hair brushed against Lin’s nose. It was extremely irritating.

Nearby, a whole pig was being roasted over the fire. The captain used a knife to cut the meat and distribute it to the members. However, the meat that reached the seven or so remaining members was only the size of a child’s fist.

“Give me more.”

One of the members held out their plate again, but the captain clicked his tongue.

“There’s plenty here. Eat it all first, then you can have more.”

Saying that, he tore off a large chunk of the pig’s hind leg and placed it on his and Lin’s plates.

“It’s too much.”

“Eat up. We’ll be up late tonight, so you’ll need plenty of energy.”

Winking, the captain licked the grease off his fingers as he looked around and noticed that Tigrea was missing. He furrowed his brows and scanned the area further but couldn’t find her.

“Where’s the mage?”

“She said there was something interesting inside the ruins.”
