Chapter 74 Explorer (First Update)

Ash and Sonia sat in the small boat, reading intently from the mage's handbook bound in cowhide.

Like the previous handbooks, this one didn't record any personal information about the mage himself, so for now, they'd refer to him as "the Explorer."

Why call him that? Because his greatest passion was exploring various natural landscapes, and the content of the handbook was about the various sites he had visited in the past.

"Lava Cave"

"After spending more than a year on the construction site, the third phase of the project finally ended. I should have time to visit the lava cave before the captain gets a new job."

"When I arrived at the village closest to the lava cave, the captain said he had taken on a big project again, alas."

"A few months later, I finally took the time to explore the lava cave again. I was lucky this time; I spent quite a bit of money to hire a local to take me inside."
