After showing her distinguished lifestyle Lisa began to educate her "7 year old" students about the various landmarks and different cultural ideas of the world.
"Firstly, we will start with place we live in, Uro. Uro is the land of gold mines, erald mines, river, mountains, a lot of animal and plant variety when you are in the wild. The high density of forests is a sothing to appreciate, while on the Dynasty's side, there is a large desert on most of their land."
A map lay ahead of them, she pointed at the two center, where a line divided the two nations. The land of Uro's side was much green
"Both lands have there own history, but these weren't the only two lands were humanity used to live. The snows lands in the north, which is no separated by the great wall of the north was once the hope of humans too. Until is was destroyed by the Wind Serpent, Alsana. The great wall was created in regard to stop her conquest. On these other side there are non-humans, the once that lived in the lava lands before that was destroyed too."
She pointed out different things in the map, like so mines, forest and the Snow lands with the great north wall passing over the mountain range.
"That's sad. There there any record on what happened in the Lava lands can we go there?" Sera paid keen attention all that Lisa explained, while the system was doing the work for Silver.
"I need to get going on the journey out of this city. Staying here isn't making any stronger, I am surviving on lucky events till now. I need to make so big decisions, rcy did say I only had three months with ."
The apocalypse won't be delayed by him making connections, there were things out there that we needed to do.
"What do you want to learn next, Sera?"
"The three mountain ranges in the north! I heard they are quite cool."
"Yes, each one has nad based on their position. Like, at the extres of the north, there is sea on both sides and so are mountains; so both of those coastal mountains are called Sivara. There is one that really in the south, that passes over to Dynasty, we call it Silla. The third range of the largest mountains and longest mountains that span near the center, it was called Simbara."
There was no ntion of the forbidden mountains in the map.
"That's why Shaska was surprised when we found out that I knew this place. I can't Lisa ask about them, that will put her life into more risk."
Only a forbidden forest, which was one of the places that rcy had ntioned.
"Lisa where exactly is the Wastelands of the Dragons."
"The wastelands of the dragons in the south of Dynasty look right here." Lisa pointed at the bottom of the map, which depicted the picture of a marshy land instead of dragon house.
"The lava lands are in Uro's south, while the wasteland in Dynasty's. The dragon poison I was talking about found in the everywhere in this place."
"The wastelands of the dragons? How much ago do you think the dragons left this world?"
"The dragons must have died a five thousand years or more. There body and blood doesn't decay like their minds so when the dragons died, all their bodies piled up to form these mountains. Their blood is so poisonous that people assu it can even kill warlords. But it's nearly impossible to get."
"Why did the warlords impose so sort of restriction in fear?"
"No, it's just that the blood is so poisonous and include with the fact that the body of the decaying dragons invite new creatures to co. Add all this to make a environnt that rains acid that lts you, creatures room around that never have been seen before and the special part, the poison is so corrosive that lts anything you try to contain it in."
"Hmm... that is quite difficult for sure. Anyways, I what else you can tell?"
Then Lisa began tell Silver and Sera more about the different flowers, and animals that room in the world. While, she was explaining, Silver picked up a bottle which clearly had a sign of death written on it.
The day out was quite lousy and fun, they actually went to different places until Silver's gold pouch was empty in a single day and when Lisa tried to pay for food, or drinks Silver kept refusing her till they moved around and reached to his apartnt.
"I think I want to you to join us for dinner tonight."
"No... no. You have done so much more for today. I don't think I will be able to pay you, Sera and Theresa back for all that you have done for . I should be the one buying dinner for you."
"Lisa, please. I want to have to you over." Silver lightly pressed his hands on Lisa's. "Please be there."
"... I would be. Can I buy Sera an ice cream for inviting ?"
"I.." Sera mumbled.
"You sure can. Sotis it is important to take gifts from others." Silver gave a little pat on the back of the girl that was surely going to refuse out of humility and consideration.
"Let's go." Sera held Lisa's hand and they two walked away to get a ice cream.
There was a short mont, when Silver was Sera and Lisa happily wished that he wanted all of it that he had earned in this world. All of it ca fast and but let go, but this world was not his and these people did not need him in there lives. He walked back into the room.
----
A good while later, the night was kind of deep. A sweet lullaby was playing on a music box nearby. The extravagant dinner was empty with bowls of dishes and on the chairs were the diners which no empty space in their stomach.
Sera was already sleep after eating the most of the three, Lisa also ate quite a lot when see had a chance, "You never know when the next al is coming." she argued.
Everything and all the dinner was well concluded, Silver began a new conversation.
"Lisa can you co with . It's really important." Silver got up on his seat and began walking.
"Silver... is sothing wrong?" Lisa got up from her chair.
"What is going on with you? You are acting sothing else right now, I don't see you the way you were earlier."
"Don't worry, nothing is wrong with . All I am doing is my job, I have to do sothing to fund my lifestyle as you know." Silver moved inside the Sera's room and Lisa followed suit.
"Close the door."
The room was dull black with no a hint of light inside.
"Silver that the thinking? I am not getting a good feeling about your ntal health."
"All I need is your trust, Lisa. Trust , I you this."
"For what? Why are you trying to pull closer to you like this? We should have separated a while ago but you bring here and treat like this... what are you thinking Silver?"
"Don't make this difficult for , Lisa. Close the door and I will tell you everything I want to say to you. Or, you can choose to walk away like you wanted to and be free from my life." Silver asserted openly.
Lisa slowly and reluctantly closed the door after that. And, the two of them were all alone in that room.
「Skill Activated: Light of the Fireflies (Phase 1)」
"What is that?"
A small orb of light filled with room with brightness and it everything in the room was now visible.
Lisa's closed instinctively at the bright blast, but Silver beca visible to her as her vision restored. He wore a white cloak instead of red dress he used to wear and he held sothing.
"Silver! What are you holding?! That's poison." Lisa rushed to push the bottle away.
"If you trust . You won't open the door."
Then in a single gulp he drank the entire bottle until it was empty, despite Lisa's resistance.
"A..arrg..." The glass bottle shattered when it feel on the floor form Silver's hand, and he began to scream.

--Fact: Silver did actually put on the cloth to look cool while Lisa was blinded.
