Over a month later…
A group of nine—two men and seven women—was moving toward a town after crossing the border of the central plains.
The group was none other than Max and others.
Just as Max had said, they didn't encounter any danger on their way, though some people had caused them some trouble after seeing the beauties in the group.
Thankfully, they weren't too strong, and Max easily dealt with them.
The border between the three empires and the central plains wasn't clearly marked, but anyone would be able to tell when they entered the central plain's territory.
How?
It was simply because there was a sudden spike in mana density from where the central plains' territory began.
"The mana density is slowly increasing as we walk farther from the border." Esther muttered, feeling the surrounding mana as they neared town.
"You find it strange, don't you?" Gene asked, a small smile on her lips.
"Yes," Esther nodded.
