Aurora who was sleeping comfortably after such a hectic day got up heavily due to the unknown noise.

At first she just let out a few moans as if someone was holding their breath, then she heard a huge crash as if a mountain had collapsed.

She, worried about her friends, ran quickly thinking that they were being attacked, but when she arrived she was surprised at the huge hole in the floor.

Realizing that Chris and Lillia were nowhere to be found she immediately jumped into the hole herself.

When he got inside he was surprised by what he saw, Lillia was standing there gasping for breath with all her clothes a mess and her hair messed up, and Chris was just as messed up as Lillia, but instead of exhaustion or pain like if they had suffered an attack he had an expression of bitterness and disgust with the heavens as if they had played the worst joke in the world.

"Chris, Lillia is fine, the fall didn't hurt them, it must have been a really bad fall to have such a miserable appearance" said Aurora worried about her friends when seeing her appearances.

When Chris and Lillia realized Aurora's misunderstanding neither said anything nor did they try to correct her, they just started fixing her clothes.

"Exactly what is this passage," Lillia said with a bit of irritation in her voice.

"I'm not sure maybe it connects to some hidden farm in the central region of the forest" said Chris trying to calm the feeling of annoyance.

"We should go back to the surface to rest and check in the morning" Aurora opined.

"No, let's go back and collect the tents so that we can explore the passageway, with the noise of a moment ago the beasts will be attracted and we will not have time to rest if we are attacked at every moment it is better to check the passageway where they cannot enter" Chris analyzed the situation.

After confirming what they were going to do, they went upstairs to collect their luggage and returned to the passageway.

Mansion of the Magistrate of Education.

"Let me see if I understood what you said, you and your group found your target and set up the whole scene to make it look like an accident, but when you sent your comrades none came back, you went to check but found nothing since everything was clean without the slightest indication that it was previously a nest of creatures, but you only saw a dimensional cut in the room that belonged to the head of the nest" said the magistrate, repeating word for word the story told by the subject in the black cloak .

"That's right boss, the dimensional cut that was there was deep and probably hasn't lasted more than 24 hours and should still exist at this time if you want to confirm it" said the man if he hadn't lived what the magistrate said it's likely that even if he was an idiot wouldn't believe it.

"I see so Asura really entered the divine realm, even though this is bad we can still use it to our advantage" said the magistrate with an ugly smile on his face.

"In what way is this a good thing boss, for that demon to become more powerful I don't see the positive"

"To know why even though Asura is so arrogant and ruthless, and the government doesn't do anything to him, after all besides the magical warriors from the mystic kingdom who live in the capitals of the planet or are leading the colonies on the planets that we repopulate in the solar system, I don't think you can find any warrior below the mystic realm, who is his partner" said the magistrate but seeing the ignorance of his lackey continued "It is because Asura no matter how arrogant he is He will always refuse to accept jobs that he is not sure of doing, that are not convenient for him or that generate chaos in ordinary people "

"I understand boss, but according to what you said he is untouchable since his actions are within the margin of what is tolerable" said the man without still seeing the point that he wanted to explain to his boss.

“You are really idiot, what I mean is that as long as we are in our positions of power besides the fact that we have the approval of the masses, Asura cannot attack us since it will make the enemy of the government and even without the government, if the chaos falls in the city, the retributions that Asura will suffer are greater than the profits, let's stop talking about nonsense, I better go meet with the other officials, go back to the forest and take care of my son, even though I know that Asura will not do anything while nobody attacks the group of the 3 young people it is better to be cautious"

Afterwards the magistrate went to meet with his collaborators to think about countermeasures, after all Asura despite being free without any affiliation, has shown his favoritism to the mayor by accepting jobs that he would normally refuse, so he could become an enemy in any moment.

"This is real" said Chris with an impact that could be seen on his whole face, when they entered the underground passage they thought there would be traps or some guardian beasts unexpectedly the course was calm and without difficulties only for the treasure to appear in the end and not be able to believe that everything was so easy.

"What is that, look like a simple lake" said Aurora without seeing why the lake was important besides you couldn't see or feel any magical or vital energy of the lake.

"That is a mystical lake, even though it seems normal, the energy it has is so condensed that people below the mystical realm will not see it, all the people who bathe in the lake will cause their bodies and magical power to undergo great changes. if a useless trash trains here it will be able to reach the mystic realm in just 10 years, besides the lake water can nourish the planet's world tree, if the tree is watered every day even if it's just a liter the tree will It will develop faster making it receive great benefits for example the veins and energy sources of the world that are connected to the world tree, if it is watered by the mystic water, the energy veins even if they are eyebrows will come back to life since the tree of the world will supply them because their ability to absorb the laws will improve, making the energy of the planet's environment richer, which will improve the lifespan of people"

When Lillia and Aurora heard the use of the insipid lake in front of them, the shock they felt reached a new point only this water can produce warriors in the mystic realm within 10 years and even less, everyone knows that magical warriors of the mystical kingdom are the pinnacle of their entire civilization, and as if it were the most normal thing in the world, the lake in front of them can mass produce them, but what surprised them the most is that it can help the planet more than people, everyone they know that the resources that can help the trees of the world whether in lower or higher planets would cause a huge war like the one that almost devastated the earth more than two millennia ago.

But there was an important fact that Aurora and Lillia did not know about the lake, since Chris did not mention it, is that for one of these lakes to be born, a mystical heart is needed, a special nucleus that joins the veins of the planet that is connected in a way directly with the world tree, if the mystical heart is extracted along with the vein of the planet and transferred to its small universe in the first of its planets, it would develop faster and would have a personal mystical lake that it could take everywhere, The reason why Chris didn't tell Lillia and Aurora this was because if they know that as long as the core exists, the lake will continue to be supplied with the mystical water, the value of things is measured not only by how good they are, but also by how good they are. its rarity, if they are told that the side will only produce one liter each year, they will understand its value more than if they are told that it will always have an infinite amount of it.

But first, it is preferable to take advantage of all the energy of the lake in front of them because when it is transferred to its small universe by separating the core of the earth, it will cause the lake to lose all its energy and dry up, being a waste of resources.
