Arthur was woken up by Bill suddenly jumping out of the tent, then he heard the sounds of fighting outside.

“Arthur wake up, we are under attack”

Arthur quickly shook off his stupor and stepped out of the tent.

He began to look around, hoping to find the team and what they were fighting.

The time was like the late hours of the night, even the sky was starting to light up a little. He was finally able to see what the team was fighting.

A monster 3 meters tall, resembling a giant kangaroo. But this kangaroo had blade-sharp claws for its hands, and its tail was covered with hard scales.

Bill immediately took his shield and sword from his enchanted pouch and donned them. For situations like this, everyone was sleeping in their armor, then leaped towards the lizard.

"You finally woke up Bill," said Mefzar.

“You would still sleep if 2 armies fought beside you,” Askar said.

“Okay guys, leave the defense to me now,” he said as he leaped towards the creature.

Arthur just watched. If he had tried to help, it would have been more of a hindrance to the team, and he was fed up with it and wanted to do something.

The battle progressed so fast. Arthur couldn't even understand the team's combat composition.

Although Elda tried to use the vines, the animal kept slipping away.

Darkis launched a fireball, but it missed. On her third try, she had finally hit the monster. The fireball landed on the animal's neck. The Beast was stunned when it was hit. Elda had taken advantage of this opportunity to finally catch the animal with the vines. Mefzar immediately started shooting arrows at the monster.

But it looked like the beast had no plans to give up. He swung his tail at Bill standing in front of him. Although Bill saw the incoming attack, he could not dodge and took the forward shield and defended. Bill was thrown backwards when the tail hit the shield.

"I'm fine, I'm fine," he said, standing up. And he ran towards the animal again.

Elda pulled two more vines from the ground, but their ends were pointed. These vines quickly moved towards the beast and stabbed into the beast. The monster let out a cry. At this time, Askarda began to strike the beast with sword blows on the beast's knuckles.

The monster slowly fell to the ground. The animal finally fell motionless. Everyone collapsed to the ground, panting.

“I miss the south sometimes,” Askar said.

Everyone nodded.

It was a rare time when the team all agreed with Askar.

The sky was about to clear. The team began to assemble the tents.

After some rest, Bill began to skin the animal with his knife.

Soon the tents were assembled. Coffees were made. They were assessing the war.

------

The carriage was once again on the road. This time the drivers were different. Mefzar was checking around again, but this time it was Askar who was driving the car. The roads had not changed since yesterday and were still in bad shape. But they came out of the woods and continued on their way through a flat valley completely covered with green grass. Elda was reading a book in her hand. Darkis was using Arthur's flame tips to improve his control. He had trouble with control in the last war, but he had increased his power, and control remained.

Arthur was reading the book Elda had given him in the back of the chariot. Speech spells were very complex. There were 108 basic word spells. But these word spells could be combined with each other. What's more interesting is that compound word spells could also combine with other compound word spells. This offered an almost endless field for mages to explore.

There were many examples in the book. Arthur was looking at the word magic Elda used to charge the phone and laptop. It was one of many examples in the book.

He decided to give it a try and pulled the phone out of his pocket. Its charge was 56%. Looking at the charging bar of the phone, he said the words [mana-fill] Arthur felt the mana in his body being absorbed by the phone.

Arthur gasped when the phone charging bar showed 100%, using almost all the mana in his body.

"I did," he said excitedly.

Elda looked up from the book she was reading. And he looked at Arthur. “Congratulations Arthur,” he said.

When Arthur was overwhelmed by his success in word magic, he turned to Elda.

“Elda is it possible to use the surrounding mana for magic”

"It's possible, but you need to be very good at mana control"

“You remember the enchantments on the Bardall wall, right? They use the mana in nature as an energy source.”

"Can you do it"

“I can do it, even if I'm not very good at it,” said Elda.

“Do we need to find someone to enchant the walls of our city?”

“I can try, but it is better to leave the job to the professionals. There are only wizards who tend to this area, we should probably hire one of them," said Elda.

Arthur could have built the wall. But there were giant monsters north of the Gateless mountains. It was impossible to stop them with the staying power of the stone alone. And the walls had to be enchanted. Arthur thought he had to learn these enchantments. If he learned well, he would have gained a lot of maneuverability in the buildings he would design.

Thus the carriage continued on its way.

Arthur opened episodes of the Spartacus series for Bill. The people behind the carriage started watching the movie.

“Guys, hide them, we have another carriage ahead of us,” he said.

Arthur immediately closed the laptop and put it in his enchanted pouch.

As they approached the carriage in front, they saw that one of its wheels had come off. Even more, interestingly, Arthur knew the people in the car in front.

These were Lyda and Iris.

“Do you need help?” said Mefzar. Adventurers often helped each other. It was like an unwritten rule. The adventurer's life was tough, and other adventurers knew it best.

The blond elf said, "No, we're done"

Then he saw Arthur sitting in the back.

"Oh hello Arthur"

“Hi Lyda”

“Is this your team?” said.

“Yes, we are going south,” said Arthur.

“Riverdawn?”

“Yes”

"If you want, we can travel together, and we're going there,too," he said.

Arthur looked at Mefzar, this was not a decision he could make.

“Of course we wouldn't say no to extra hands to fight Monsters,” said Mefzar

The Lyda and Iris team consisted of 4 people. Lyda, Iris, a gnome, and another male elf.

Gnomes were a slender race, unlike dwarves, who were usually one meter tall. They had come to the Alwarti continent with the Elves. And they were quite prone to Magic.

After replacing the wheel, they continued on their way in the form of a convoy.

They did not encounter a monster during their journey. It had been a quiet journey. As it started to get dark, they chose a campsite and stopped.

After the tents were set up, a fire was lit in the middle. And both teams started to prepare the food.

Elda and Lyda were talking about their days at the academy while they were preparing the meals. They were laughing about the good memories and the mistakes of their teachers as if they had met at a high school reunion.

After meals, Arthur started making coffee. Members of the other team watched Arthur with interest. When he finished and handed out a cup to everyone.

“What is that?” said Iris. The gnome and the other elf were also looking curiously at the glass in their hands.

“Coffee,” said Arthur.

“A drink made from bitter seeds,” Elda said.

The opposing team took a sip of their coffee.

"This is great," said the gnome

His other teammates also agreed. They were amazed that this herb, which had been in front of their eyes for a long time, turned into such an amazing drink.

“Well, have you thought about what to name it?!” Said Mefzar.

Seeing the visiting team looking at itself, “we are planning to build a city to the north of the mountains”

They nodded as if to say they understood. All the adventurers south of the mountains dreamed of building a city in the north and becoming a noble and swimming in gold.

then Lyda

“Or was it you who reported the dungeon?”

“Word is spreading pretty fast, huh,” Askar said.

“All the gold plates around going there, right now,” said iris.

“The first group to get the core ore will be rich,” Bill said.

“Why didn't you go?” said Arthur, they had a gold plate, but they were going south.

“We need to deliver the herb he wanted to the alchemist,” said the gnome, his voice unexpectedly deep for his small size.

“If he's keeping you from the dungeon, he must be pretty important,” Mefzar said curiously.

“Delivery of Lucas the alchemist,” said the male elf

“Mystic elf?” the group said at once. Arthur seemed to be the only person who didn't know who Lucas was.

When Elda saw Arthur's frivolous gaze

“One of alwarti's top alchemists was recently working on a potion that would make anyone's body capable of using magic.”

If such a drug existed, how much would it sell for? What would nobles do to give to their sons and daughters?

Mefzar must have thought that the subject was too dispersed, so "we were saying names"

“City of adventurers,” said Bill.

“At least half a dozen towns use it already,” Mefzar said.

“City of gambling,” said the soldier

“No,” said the whole team in unison.

The team fell silent. Others couldn't think of anything properly.

"Unity "

“What,” said Mefzar.

“The City of Unity,” said Arthur, and continued.

“I think it is quite appropriate that a team of different races is establishing a city”

He seemed to have the approval of everyone on the team.

"I'm starting the vote then," said Mefzar

“Those who accept the City of Unity,” he said.

The entire team raised their hands at the same time.

"Okay, our city's name is Unity," said Mefzar.

Askar took a bottle from the enchanted pouch and said, "This is celebratory news."

"You're right," said Darkis, as usual, it was truly something to celebrate.

The other team shared the excitement of Arthur's team.

Glasses were drawn and drinks were poured.

In the middle of the desolation north of the Gateless Mountains, a group of lively people of different races began to celebrate. No one drank to the point of getting drunk. No one knew what might happen in a moment in this land, but laughter had already filled the air.

Adventurers mingled very quickly. People who experience the same happiness and the same pain understand each other more easily. Conversations were held until late into the night.

After both teams chose their scouts, they went to the tents to sleep.

Arthur went into the tent. Bill was on the first watch. He lay down on his matrix and stared at the ceiling of the tent. A lot had happened today, monster attack then encounters with other adventurers, their city had a name, he had a purpose in this world, now maybe a bigger purpose than in the previous world he could really have an impact on this world

If magic and technology were combined, there was no limit to what he could do. He fell asleep dreaming of such a world.
