Chapter 207: Chapter 149: The Moonlit Society and the Encounter

On the other end of the lava cave.

Only to see Laisa pull out a thin flat pan from behind her leather armor.

The pan wasn’t big, and the sides were low, making it look like a round iron plate.

But this action still left Sulfur Vine stunned.

"Laisa, you actually brought a pan?"

Sulfur Vine widened her eyes in disbelief and said.

She had joined quite a few Adventurer Squads, and even after becoming one of the Classes and joining the Giant Blade Squad, no one in the team ever brought a pan on an adventure.

As for food preparation during adventures, most of them consisted of some dried rations.

A better approach was to source locally, hunt some wild rabbits or similar, and do some roasting with sticks and campfire.

As for Raine, it wasn’t that surprising.

Although he had always thought the handle of the flat pan was the hilt of a short sword.

"Sulfur Vine, haven’t you seen anyone carrying a pan on an adventure?"

"What do you usually eat then?"

Laisa retorted.

"Well, just this..."

Sulfur Vine explained as she took out two rice ball-looking items from her waist pouch.

"Huh? Just that!"

"Alright, let me make you something delicious."

So, Raine and Sulfur Vine watched with curiosity as Laisa skillfully went through her series of actions.

They saw her first pile up seven or eight stones, then skillfully start a fire.

"Look! This is my pre-prepared sour sauce, it goes well with most foods and is very delicious."

Laisa took out a small jar from her waist pouch and shook it rather proudly.

"Sour sauce?"

Sulfur Vine and Raine exchanged a glance, realizing that neither had heard of it before.

"Wait, I’m missing one thing."

Laisa quickly left, but a few minutes later, she came back carrying four half-meter long, rod-like objects.

"This is...."

"Lizard tails! There are a lot of these cold-eyed lizards in this crack, they’re non-toxic, so don’t worry."

Laisa continued as she placed the flat pan on top of the stones, took out a small piece of butter, and used a dagger to spread it around the pan’s bottom to grease it a bit.

"Ah? This... can be eaten?" Sulfur Vine’s face paled.

Raine also looked on thoughtfully, observing the lizard tails that had been skinned to reveal tender pink flesh.

In his past life, he had heard of crocodile tails, and now these lizard tails...

But several minutes later.

"Smells so good~"

"The meat is so tender!"

Sulfur Vine praised while eating.

"This sauce is sweet and sour, really nice."

Raine also ate and couldn’t stop praising.

"Of course, the sour sauce with pan-fried lizard tails, it’s the perfect sweet and sour balance."

Soon, all four lizard tails were consumed.

As for the rice balls Sulfur Vine brought, they remained untouched and were packed back into the bag.

"By the way, shouldn’t we discuss the two danger points ahead?"

Having eaten and drunk their fill, Sulfur Vine seemed to suddenly remember something and asked.

Hearing Sulfur Vine’s question, Laisa waved her hand dismissively and said without any concern:

"The challenge level of the Tentacle Monster is only Level 3, and the Hook Claw Monster isn’t much higher, Challenge Level 4, Raine can handle it alone."

"This..."

Sulfur Vine wanted to say something.

What does ’only’ Challenge Level 3 mean?

And it’s not like there’s only one of them.

Normally, even an entire Adventurer Squad of Level 3 Classes would have to be careful.

However, seeing Raine, Sulfur Vine held back what she wanted to say.

Alright~

With Mr. Raine around, it does seem..... there’s no need for the two of them to worry.

Just be a little cautious, that’s all.

According to Mr. Benest’s original words, being a Special Classes with a Classes Level of seven, he would likely not stand a chance against Mr. Raine in a one-on-one fight.

This is why everyone in the squad agreed to this plan.

"Come, let me show you something, what is this."

At this moment, Laisa took out a mushroom about as long as a forearm, emitting a faint blue glow.

"Huh? Is this a glowing mushroom?"

"I remember, Laisa, you took on a task from the Adventurer’s Association to collect glowing mushrooms, right?"

As a Druid, Sulfur Vine was quite familiar with plants.

And Raine had also heard of these glowing mushrooms.

This mostly had to do with their fame on the surface.

Coming from the Underdark, they’re a high-class ingredient with extremely savory flavor, a favorite of many great nobles.

So, the task of collecting glowing mushrooms is almost always available at the Adventurer’s Association.

No time limit.

No quantity limit.

Because it was something to do along the way, Laisa took the task with the mindset of ’gather as many as you can’.

In fact, Raine had also taken an incidental task—’Investigation of Inner-City Situation of Dark Furnace City’.

As the main city of the Gray Dwarves and the Dark Furnace Clan, the general layout of the city had been largely figured out by waves of courageous adventurers.

For instance, the division between the Inner City and Outer City.

The Inner City had the Imperial Palace, the Divine Hall, and so on, information that was well-documented in the Association’s library.

Raine also looked it up.

But some pieces of information were time-sensitive.

Like the stores in the Inner City and Outer City, the Gray Dwarves’ garrison status—these would change.

And this investigation task rewarded any piece of information provided.

Raine took on this task primarily because the investigation itself was something he needed to do after sneaking in.

Suits his purpose.

"Yeah! I originally thought they were only in the Underdark, but it turns out they’re already here."

As she spoke, Laisa began to cut it open from the middle with a dagger.

"Laisa, you’re..... this is..."

Sulfur Vine’s eyes widened slightly, puzzled.

"Eat it!"

"You.... this glowing mushroom is perfectly intact, worth at least 5 gold, and you’re just going to eat it?"
