Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience Chapter 465 - 30: Reunion

After a while, Hilia also arrived, thus the original four mbers of the Sirius Adventure Group were reunited once more.

In fact, the four of them had long since stopped teaming up, and Hilia, busy with her Church Court duties, could no longer venture into the Underground City. She had been promoted to Wizard Level and beco a High-level Priest of Light for quite so ti.

In short,

other than Sirius and Triss, who are still active outside the Underground City, the rest had stopped striving there. The Sirius Adventure Group was practically only in na now.

However, every once in a while, they would all arrange to et up and share their recent life experiences.

"Do you know? Not long ago, Triss and I explored an Underground City. You would never believe what we encountered inside."

"The Red Robed Evil Witch Demon!"

"I can’t believe it. Those legendary beings actually exist!"

"They’re imnsely powerful, truly worthy of being the Red Robed Wizards of the Eternal Tower. Triss and I struggled desperately to eliminate just one, and the badge indicated he was only a low series Red Robed Wizard. I can’t imagine how strong those high series ones would be..."

In a corner of the tavern, Sirius gulped down black rye beer from an oak cup while boasting about his recent adventures.

A crowd had long gathered around the table, not just Lynch but also many other patrons who were drawn over.

Sirius was a living legend here. Over the years, the adventurers of his ti had already gone to see the Light Goddess, but he had still maintained his youthful vigor and even advanced to the Great Knight level.

Currently, among all adventurers, his strength was second to none, especially after recently receiving an extraordinary baptism at the altar, which granted him powers at the Extraordinary Level.

Now, in terms of combat ability alone, he was on par with ordinary middle and high-level Wizards, truly deserving the title of Sword Saint.

Sirius’s voice was loud, leaving no room as he vividly recounted his experiences.

He enjoyed this kind of life, imrsing himself in battles within the Underground City against various dead spirits, then returning to the city to drink and eat heartily in the tavern, boasting to other adventurers about his exploits.

Whenever he heard exclamations of amazent and saw envious glances, he’d always give a smug smile.

Even though decades had passed, even though his companions had ’aged,’ he remained as enthusiastic as when he first beca an adventurer.

Like a person frozen in ti.

Triss interjected with displeasure, "You have the nerve to say that? If you hadn’t insisted on going to that wretched place, we wouldn’t have ended up in such a predicant, nearly not making it back."

Sirius said, "Hey, Triss, everyone’s watching. You can’t say sothing so discouraging."

"We are the strongest adventurers, role models for all adventurers. It’s only right for us to step forward when a new Underground City is discovered. If even we retreat, who else would dare to go forward?"

"Besides, if anything really happened, wouldn’t Hilia save us? Right, Hilia?"

Triss snorted and said no more.

"Heehee."

Hilia gave him a knowing smile and then added, "I think Triss has a point. The Adventurer Guild has thorough exploration chanisms when uncovering new Underground Cities. You’re just looking for excitent, don’t pretend to be so righteous."

"Uh... Ha, what are you saying?"

Sirius awkwardly laughed, quickly picking up his cup to hide his embarrassnt at being exposed, while naturally changing the topic, casually chatting with Lynch: "Ah, Leggo, right, how have you been lately? Doing well?"

Before Lynch could speak, Teresa, who was delivering wine, chid in, "How could it be? We’re all just old folks now, unlike you young ones. Don’t trouble him, there aren’t many good years left."

Hearing this, they all couldn’t help but feel a bit of sadness.

At the start, the four of them would enter the Adventurer Guild together for their first Underground City adventure, and though they didn’t team up long-term, they’d often go on adventures together, relying on each other, fighting side by side.

Of the four who originally tead up, only Sirius and Triss were still the sa due to a ’curse,’ and Hilia was a Transcendent herself, so the three remained looking youthful for years to co.

Yet Lynch had turned with silver hair, truly becoming a venerable old man.

Every reunion, they would see Lynch appearing older than the last eting, almost like he was a asure of ti, constantly reminding them of its passage.

Though they hadn’t aged, seeing Lynch like this stirred feelings of sentint within them.

Sirius furrowed his brow, "Lady Teresa, can’t you avoid ntioning such dreadful topics?"

"Haha!"

Teresa laughed heartily, coaching in tone, "What’s so dreadful about this? Young Sirius, you’re really..."

Sirius asked puzzled, "How?"

Teresa shook her head, "Nothing. So truths can’t be explained by words alone; only through the true baptism of ti can one understand their essence."

"In summary,"

"All mortals eventually die; in the long run, we’ll all return to the embrace of the Light Goddess, attaining eternal peace in another world and reuniting with those we miss. Why wouldn’t that be a joyful thing? How is it dreadful?"

Sirius didn’t understand.

Triss and Hilia seed half-comprehending.

Lynch was intrigued.

When he initially established the Light Church, a lot was vaguely stated, and he himself was ambivalent about this fabricated theology.

Unexpectedly, over the years, those inconsistencies from its hastily written origins didn’t cause the theory’s collapse; rather, through the speculations of monks, clerics, and believers over generations, a complete explanation erged, making it self-consistent.

Though thinking about it, that’s expected.

As Teresa said, all mortals eventually die.

When that day cos, everyone fears what lies ahead—eternal darkness or sothing else.

And when a voice arises, explaining the world after death, it naturally calms their frightened hearts and guides them in the darkness.

And perhaps that’s the purpose of faith, after all.
