Daniel's words were warm and well-spoken, it was clear that he was used to conversing with other nobles.
"We aren't worthy, my Lord. I chose to follow you the moment my eyes first saw your figure. I don't care if my family is against the Cause, once I become patriarch, I will offer you the full support of my family."
The woman spoke in a stern tone but she could not hide some traces of blushing from appearing on her face.
"I and the Udye family will never forget your vow, Phoebe."
Daniel answered her words and lightly caressed her face, making her blush even more.
"Phoebe is right, we are all with you. My Orgoo family and your Udye family has been allies for centuries, the Royals can't divide such long-lasting friendship."
If Noah was there, he would recognize the man that had just spoken.
He was Troy Orgoo, one of the youths that had passed the entrance test in Ebonrest city with him.
"Mh. Our force is not weak, three of us have a rank 4 body and we are all equipped with inscribed robes in the second rank. Even if we met with the rank 4 specimen, I have full confidence that we can escape. Who knows, we might even attempt to kill it!"
Daniel cheered everyone's morale with his words and moved toward the entrance of the dungeon, followed by the other four cultivators.
"Lord Daniel, ehm, what do you know about this place? Why is the "Breath" so scarce here?"
The man that had been silent till that moment was Manuel, the student that Noah had defeated to obtain his last accommodation in the academy.
"I requested some reports from my family. Apparently, this whole mountain will become a mine of Obsidian Credits one day so the Elbas family has emptied its contents to accelerate the creation of the mine. They come here every few decades to prevent the creation of a threatening pack of magical beasts though, so it's not completely abandoned."
Daniel explained in a plain tone but the other in his group shot dissatisfied gazes to Manuel.
They all knew what had happened in the academy.
He lost in a fight against someone without a noble background, making the nobles lose face in front of the other students and also injuring himself.
The injury slowed his cultivation speed and left a trauma on his personality, ultimately leading him to still have a rank 3 body.
It was obvious that his name was usually mocked among the circle of nobles due to that event.
"And, when was the last time that the Royals cleaned up this place?"
Manuel was unmoved by those stares and continued to ask questions.
"It should have been almost fifteen years ago, there should be a large number of rank 3 worms in there."
