The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

After the battle was over, Rein and Luna immediately came to Lopas. Both Luna and Rein were capable of casting healing spells based on their Physic and Star affinity. So they immediately used various spells to heal her up.

Lopas was in a bad condition after getting burned by the fire and also crushed by her own attack. Fortunately all mages had great resistance to their own spells so her injuries were not that bad from the Fallen Sky spell.

But still her injuries were bad enough that Rein and Luna needed to work together for about three hours to get her back on her feet. Then Rein carried her to the city for a qualified healer to check her out.

Even though the battle put her life in a lot of danger, this was a very good experience for her. She always had an easy time understanding and creating various spells because of her powerful talent but real battle experience was not something that just talent could replace. So Rein was sure that after this incident her speed of advancement would be even higher.

...

Later that night, the count held a celebration party to thank Rein and his party. Even he was surprised by how quickly Rein and his team was able to defeat the strange beast. He had also gotten the report that the daughter of the Leonance family was injured during this fight, so the battle must have been quite dangerous. That was also why he was extra thankful toward them.

The count asked Rein and his group to stay in the city for a few more days but Rein respectfully declined his offer. Actually they were planning to enjoy two or three days in a special location before returning to the academy so they were unwilling to stay in the city for a longer time.

So after bidding goodbye to the count, all of them left the city. Then they all started flying toward east with leisurely speed. After about two hours of flying, they came across a beautiful lake and following Lopas, they landed there.

Beside the lake there was a small wooden cabin. It looked quite cozy. This was a leisure house of the Leonance family and this was also the area where the three of them were planning to enjoy the following few days.

This area was actually covered by a decently powerful barrier. So without a special item of the Leonance family, no one would be able to enter the area. So they did not need to worry about safety even though they were in the middle of nowhere and a dense forest.

As for the reason why a large family like the Leonance family had made this insignificant looking lake their property, the reason was simple. This lake was not actually just a normal lake but a bit special.

There was nothing special about the water of the lake or the flora and fauna if someone looked at all the aspects individually. But as a whole, they created a special environment we suited for a special breed of fish to live. This fish was special and had a unique quality that could make the mana circulation of a mage better. So they were extremely useful for mages.

These fishes did not have any effect in mages who were already strong. So only for mages whose rank was lower than two these fishes were useful. So for the current party of Rein this was completely useless. But even then, most of the mages loved to eat this fish.

Not only did this fish have an extremely good taste, even if it could not help a high ranking mage with mana circulation, they could still temporarily give a mana clarity. In the mana clarity state, a mage would feel very relaxed and comfortable. For that reason mages loved to eat this fish whenever they could.

But Rein and his party were not here only to eat this fish. Actually the birthday of Lopas' grandfather was coming up soon and on his birthday Lopas wanted to cook something for her grandfather. Rein had first suggested that she should start with a simple dish but Lopas was insisting on making something tasty and complex.

So after thinking a lot and doing some research Rein came up with a dish that was not too hard to make but at the same time looked complex enough to satisfy Lopas. And at the same time it was also something that Duke Leonance loved. And that dish was a steamed fish and herb dish made with the special mana clarity fish that could be found in only a few locations.

But to master the dish, Lopas needed to practice a lot. But as this fish was rare, it was hard to find a lot of them in the capital. So Lopas decided to come here which was a source of the fish to do her practice. Here, even if she messed up a few times, she would still have enough fish to continue practicing.

...

So for the next two days, Lopas and Luna got busy with cooking while Rein was on the fish catching duty. Both of the ladies had never cooked before but as they were used to a theoretical approach to things, they were able to get used to cooking very soon. At the end of the training, both of them had become good enough to call themselves a cook already which was quite a big deal. They did waste over 100 fishes in this whole process, but for the girls this was not a big deal.

So after the end of the cooking training, they all immediately returned back to the capital. Then they returned to yeh academy and informed the headmaster about their success. The headmaster was already aware of it as the news of this incident was spreading in the noble society and he was extremely satisfied with it. Still he was planning to make Rein's group to complete a few more tougher jobs to make sure that no one would have any complaints about them becoming special students.

But for the time being he gave them a well deserved rest. Still Rein, Lopas and Luna did not have any time to rest at all as they needed to start the preparation for duke Leonance's birthday as Lopas wanted to give him a surprise party. So that was the next thing in their agenda.
