After displaying his power, Lunchbox released his control over the Elf Girl.
As he stood up, the Elf Girl instinctively scrambled away to the other side of the cargo box, watching him cautiously like a startled squirrel.
Lunchbox,
He took a deep breath, and asked,
“Your plan.”
The Elf Girl was slightly taken aback by Lunchbox’s words.
Seeing his serious expression, the Elf Girl awkwardly smiled, then said,
“The plan… is to sneak in and find a chance to help people escape!”
Lunchbox,
“Hey, hey, hey! What’s with that dumbfounded look in your eyes?”
Seeing Lunchbox’s speechless expression, the Elf Girl puffed up her cheeks and said angrily.
“I don’t know where humans have taken my younger siblings, so of course, I have to sneak in! Don’t underestimate my escaping skills, there’s no lock in this world I can’t pick!”
She explained as she proudly puffed out her chest.
Unfortunately, it was a bit too flat.
Lunchbox,
He sighed and refrained from further comment. Instead, he picked up the ropes that had just bound him and handed them to the Elf Girl,
“Tie them back up.”
“Uh… huh?”
The girl looked at him in surprise.
“Do you want the humans to know you can escape?”
Lunchbox retorted.
Hearing him, the girl scratched her head, let out a couple of dry laughs, and said,
“Alright, alright… you have a point. Actually, I was planning to ‘bind’ myself again after you escaped… hehe, my disguise skills are top-notch. So, do you think my plan is the best?”
Lunchbox,
He was silent for a moment, then said,
“I called for reinforcements.”
After speaking, he pointed outside,
“There’s silver.”
Sil… Silver!
The girl’s pupils slightly constricted.
She covered her mouth in shock, her voice slightly trembling,
“Sil… Silver? Do you mean there are silver-ranked warriors in the caravan?”
Lunchbox glanced at her, as if to say—”What else?”
Lunchbox knew because he had overheard the humans’ conversation earlier.
From their discussion, he learned that the Sorren Caravan included a Mage of Silver Lower rank and a mid-level silver warrior.
They were the strongest force in the entire caravan.
Seeing Lunchbox’s assured expression, the girl’s face changed a bit, suddenly showing a hint of despair,
“There are actually silver-ranked warriors… this is terrible! It’s one thing for me alone, but trying to help people escape under the nose of silver-ranked warriors… that’s too difficult!”
“It’s over, it’s over! If we run into them while escaping, we’re done for too!”
“Silver… why would a caravan even need silver?! The Sorren Caravan is so famous and has such deep roots, why would they worry about being attacked? Who would dare to attack them?”
She rambled anxiously while pacing back and forth inside the cargo box.
Lunchbox,
He sighed again and said,
“This is the Dark Mountain Range’s canyon.”
“Dark Mountain Range’s canyon…”
The girl mumbled, then smacked her forehead in regret,
“I’m such an idiot… without silver-ranked warriors, how could a Human Caravan walk safely through a Dark Canyon teeming with demon beasts?”
After speaking, she looked at Lunchbox again, and seeing his calm demeanor, she became a bit nervous,
“Hey, hey! Aren’t you worried at all? Silver!”
Lunchbox glanced at her and repeated,
“I called for reinforcements.”
“So what if you called for reinforcements, we’re dealing with silver-ranked warriors!”
The girl shook his shoulders.
Lunchbox,
He grabbed her arm, twisted her wrist, and pinned her down.
“Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow…”
The girl instinctively cried out.
“Calm down, and do as I say.”
Lunchbox said.
*He felt exhausted talking to this NPC.*
After speaking, he added,
“The reinforcements I called also have silver-rank.”
Also… silver!
The Elf Girl’s eyes widened in surprise, momentarily forgetting the pain from being held.
Wait…
How did he contact reinforcements?

How did he know silver-ranked warriors?
Are there silver-ranked warriors among the Elf Clan?
Who… exactly is he?
In that moment, Lunchbox’s image in her mind became even more enigmatic… *From a clueless block of wood, he turned into a mysterious figure shrouded in fog!*
…
At Lunchbox’s request, they were quickly tied up again.
To Lunchbox’s surprise, the girl indeed had a special skill. She nearly perfectly recreated the bindings, but Lunchbox realized that this time his power wasn’t restrained by the ropes.
If he wanted, he could break free at any moment.
Her skill in self-binding, however, made him raise his eyebrows several times…
*This guy… must have tied herself up quite a bit before, right?*
Of course, the large hole at the bottom of the cargo box was also covered up again by the Elf Girl, but the items and treasures taken away… well, they were just taken away.
And after they had regained their “bindings,” the cargo box suddenly shook and slowly stopped.
There was a commotion outside, faint human conversations could be heard, and the atmosphere seemed to lighten up considerably.
Did they reach their destination?
Both of them perked up.
They exchanged looks and fell silent, though their minds remained on high alert.
With the creaking noise, the tightly locked door of the cargo box was opened from the outside, allowing a dim light to spill in.
Two burly mercenaries entered the cargo box, each taking one of them, escorting Lunchbox and the Elf Girl off the wagon.
And when Lunchbox stepped off, he finally saw where they were.
His pupils slightly shrank, and a glint of astonishment flashed in his eyes…
*He saw a magnificent valley!*
It was a deep canyon, with towering cliffs and a valley floor filled with ruins of various buildings.
There were ordinary structures, crisscrossing minecart tracks, densely packed and incredibly impressive, and the highest dilapidated spire was nearly a hundred meters tall!
All the buildings had an Elven architecture style, seemingly ancient, covered in black moss, and severely damaged, the entire ruins tinted with a deep blue-black tone.
Along with the Dark Mountain’s black geological features, it appeared extra eerie and terrifying…
Yet, despite being dilapidated, the ruins hinted at their former glory.
*This… was a lost Elf City!*
At the far end of the valley, a deep and enormous cave could be seen, with faint sinister winds and monstrous roars, seemingly connecting to another unknown world…
Rivendell!
*This must be Rivendell!*
At this moment, Lunchbox had no more doubts.
He took a deep breath, captured a few images, and uploaded them to the game’s forum.
