The next day, at dawn when the sky was still bright, the bonfire in the camp at the foot of the mountain was extinguished.

While Sheen was still sleeping, Vivian entered his tent and dragged him up.

"Now it happens when nocturnal monsters return to their nests, and most of the day-to-day monsters will appear after dawn. This is the best time for us to enter the mountain."

Vivian gathered everyone together for this reason.

However, the girls seemed to have been prepared for this aspect, or they had long been used to this kind of life, so they all seemed energetic and had no sleepiness at all.

Only Shien, who kept yawning among the energetic girls, looked like he would fall down at any time.

"It's really, it's too inappropriate. Go and wash your face quickly and be mentally energetic."

Vivian drove Sheen to wash up like a worried sister, which made Sheen smile bitterly.

"I thought I had gotten used to getting up early after coming to this world, but I still couldn't compare with orthodox adventurers?"

As an adventurer, not only has to hold on to the night for several hours in the middle of the night, but also has to get up early and touch it into the mountains and complete the commission. It is really hard.

But after entering the mountain, you have to encounter various dangerous monsters, and you can't be careless. Therefore, even if you don't have enough sleep, you have to be energetic and not relax. This aspect is equally harsh.

"Don't they consider sleeping, beauty, or something?"

While washing up in distracted spirit, Sheen thought about things so wildly. It was not until she poured cold water on her face and rubbed her face hard for a few times that she was in high spirits.

Then, Shien returned to the girls and prepared to enter the Mangal Mountain Belt with the girls who were ready to go.

"Everyone come here."

Vivian greeted everyone, took out a map from her luggage and spread it out in front of everyone.

That is naturally a map of the Mangal Mountain Belt.

On the map, there are not only detailed path signs, but also several special signs.

There are red x logos, and there are also icons that look like pools, plus some other mixed signs, this map looks quite attentive.

"First, let's confirm our goal for this trip."

Vivian's eyes swept to everyone.

"Now, we have cleared the blood-sucking vine, and the remaining two tasks are to collect spring water from the medium-sized magic source and obtain the salamander's membrane."

Vivian confirmed this first, and then said so.

"There are seventeen magic sources in the Mangal Mountain Belt, one is large, three are medium, and the other thirteen are all small, so let's first eliminate all small magic sources."

As he said that, Vivian took out the quill and marked the thirteen pool icons on the map with x-number.

Only then did Sheen realize that those pool icons were where all the magical sources in the Mangal Mountain Belt were located.

"Then, we won't go there either." Vivian said: "Although the client will be ecstatic to announce that we have completed this commission and will even pay additional rewards to us, the large magic source generally gathers dangerous monsters of the highest level in the area. The large magic source in the Mangal Mountain Belt is said to be inhabited with powerful monsters of 80. For safety, we cannot get close to it."

Vivian drew a golden pool with a brilliant color on the map, and crossed out a nearby pool icon.

Because that magic source is too close to the large magic source, Vivian crossed it out directly, right?

"In this way, there are two remaining magic sources, one of which is closer to us, and the other one is in the other direction of the mountain range. It is clear at a glance which side we should go."

Vivian crossed out another pool icon neatly, leaving only one pool icon.

Immediately afterwards, Vivian followed the path between where everyone was at this time and the remaining pool icon, and used a quill to mark the road from the map.

"This is the road closest to the target magic source, so we will go here." Vivian pointed the road with the tip of his pen and said, "Follow this road. If it goes well, when we arrive at the destination, it should be the time when the monsters begin to become active. We strive to collect the spring water before this, and the rest is to stay near the magic source. Once a group of salamanders is found, hunt immediately."

In this way, all the tasks can be completed successfully.

"This is the combat plan. If there is any problem, you can raise it now."

Vivian asked everyone.

Thierre, Lumiya, and Melika didn't speak, and there was no problem.

but...

“I have a problem.”

Sheen raised his hand with a serious look on his face and asked.

"What exactly is the source of magic?"

That's right, Sheen had wanted to ask this question long ago.

Until now, Sheen still doesn't know what the so-called source of magic is.

However, when hearing Sheen's question, Lumiya and Melika couldn't help but tilt their bodies and almost fell to the ground. Even Thierre had a speechless atmosphere, which made Vivian feel silenced.

"It seems you have a serious lack of common sense, Sheehn."

Vivian said this helplessly.

However, Vivian no longer looked at Sheen with confusion like before.

"You should know that there is magic in everyone's body, right?"

"...I'm sorry, I don't know."

"This...this..."

Vivian began to cast sympathy and even pity on Sheen.

Even the other girls felt more or less helpless, which made Thierre silent, Lumiya at a loss, and Melika had a subtle expression, making Sheen feel as if she was treated as a bad student by the elementary school teacher, and she laughed dryly.

"Then I'll explain it to you from the beginning."

Vivian laughed a little and then began to explain patiently.

"Everything in the world can carry magic, especially life itself, which will hold magic since its birth, because the essence of magic is vitality."

"The vitality can generate magic after it is transformed, so even civilians will have magic power in their bodies, but it is very weak. Only by increasing themselves to a certain level can they hold considerable magic power and use magic and skills."

"And as the existence that nurtures all life and things, the world itself has extremely huge vitality in operation."

"So, both the atmosphere and the earth will flow with magic powers belonging to the world. When these magic powers gather in large quantities and become substantial, a source will be formed."

"This is the source of magic."

Vivian's explanation is quite easy to understand, which made Sheen instantly understand the nature of the source of magic.

However, there is one thing that Shien actually wanted to ask for for a long time.

"Is magic transformed from vitality, right?"

Sheen said this in a tone that seemed to be complaining.

"This setting is indeed very common, but I always want to say that in this way, a lot of magic and vitality will be consumed. Will people really not die?"
