As the people in the square chatted noisily, a sudden gust of wind blew past everyone's ears.

The howling wind swept down from the sky, making the entire square howl. Some of the lighter people even had to grab onto their companions to avoid being blown over.

The gust of wind, though harmless to most, was not so fortunate for the women.

While the wind did not blow them away, it did make their clothes fly wildly. The female warriors were fine, as they wore light armor, but the rare female mages were in a sorry state.

The female mages mostly wore light robes, and the strong wind lifted their clothes, making their skirts flutter wildly. This provided a feast for the eyes of the male onlookers and filled the square with exclamations of surprise.

The men in the crowd felt a great sense of happiness, thinking that the trip was worth it. Wuyan was also part of this happiness.

The skirts of the three girls and the little girl beside him were also lifted by the wind. Chrysanthemum and Miku held down their skirts tightly to avoid exposing themselves. Even if they did, Wuyan wouldn't have looked, as they were both in safety shorts.

Little Lili, however, was worth a look, wearing cute little panties. But Wuyan only caught a glimpse before Chrysanthemum, who was also holding down her skirt, inadvertently covered Lili's skirt.

What truly made Wuyan secretly pleased was Ikaros. This naturally clueless and all-powerful angel didn't know to be cautious. The wind lifted her skirt high, revealing her white undergarments, but she didn't cover herself, standing there looking at Wuyan, not understanding what he was looking at.

Chrysanthemum and Miku were too busy to notice Ikaros, so Wuyan just took a step to block Ikaros from the view of others, then stared at Ikaros... her lower half...

As Wuyan enjoyed the view, Ikaros only blinked a few times and continued to look at Wuyan, standing still like a statue.

Soon, the culprit behind the wind appeared before everyone's eyes.

To be precise, it appeared above everyone...

A uniquely shaped, large ship descended slowly from the sky, and standing at the bow was the old man who had presided over the auction last time!

"Ship... can fly..." Chrysanthemum exclaimed in surprise. Fortunately, the wind was loud, so only those close to Wuyan heard her, or it would have attracted attention.

After all, this flying ship was a common means of transportation in the Sparil world, and few people had not seen it. If Chrysanthemum's words were heard by others, they would surely look at her as if she were an alien or a country bumpkin.

"Wow! It's a flying ship! It's a flying ship!" Little Lili raised her hands and shouted loudly, seemingly having seen the flying ship before.

"Is this the flying ship of this world? Although I've heard from Sister Feifei, it seems a bit different from a regular ship..." Wuyan stroked his chin, recalling Feifei's words, feeling a bit enlightened.

Actually, not only was the shape different from a regular ship, but the fact that it could fly made it unlike a regular ship...

The flying ship slowly descended, and the people below it scattered like birds and beasts, not wanting to be flattened. The flying ship then stopped on the empty ground in front of everyone.

Due to the large size of the flying ship, which almost took up a quarter of the square, the square felt a bit crowded when it landed without any obstacles.

The old man from the auction house stood at the front of the flying ship, looking like a sage, which made Wuyan inwardly curse him for putting on airs.

The old man looked at the crowd below, nodded in satisfaction, and laughed heartily, then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, since you have come here, I assume you are ready to join us on our treasure hunt? I welcome you all, and I hope we can work together pleasantly. I also wish you all success in your journey!"

"Next, I will explain some matters about our journey. Normally, it wouldn't be my place to do so, as many of you are of the same rank as me or are powerful figures from various families!"

"However, since this operation is organized by our auction house, I will take the liberty of explaining to you all..."

Listening to the old man, Wuyan felt speechless. Knowing that there were many people of the same rank and from powerful families, he still kept rambling. Didn't he see that some people were already annoyed by his high-and-mighty attitude? And he didn't get straight to the point, which was truly showing off. Did he really want to be criticized?

Perhaps hearing Wuyan's inner criticism, the old man cleared his throat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the treasure site we are heading to this time is the Little Ring Mountains!"

"Little Ring Mountains?" Wuyan took out the map he was carrying and started flipping through it. Seeing this, Chrysanthemum and Miku, along with Little Lili, immediately gathered around to look at the map in Wuyan's hand.

Soon, Wuyan found the so-called Little Ring Mountains. It was just an unremarkable mountain range, not high and not large, with no particular fame or features.

However, looking at the Little Ring Mountains on the map, Wuyan and Miku both frowned.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the two frown, Chrysanthemum quickly asked.

"Oh, nothing..." Wuyan handed the map to Miku and looked up at Chrysanthemum, saying, "I was just thinking why a mountain with no features would have a huge treasure."

"Maybe they chose it precisely because it has no features, as it would be harder to find," Chrysanthemum mused for a moment and said to Wuyan.

"True, that makes sense!" Wuyan nodded, and Chrysanthemum turned to Miku, who was still looking at the map, and asked, "So, Miku, what do you think?"

"I don't see anything specific, but I have an idea," Miku brought the map closer to everyone and said, "Look, there are no towns around this mountain range. Not even a small village!"

"Indeed!" Wuyan glanced at the blank area around the Little Ring Mountains and asked Miku, "So, what do you think about that?"

Putting away the map, Miku tossed it to Wuyan and said seriously, "My idea is that if something happens there, you won't be able to call for help, right?"

Hearing Miku's words, everyone fell silent.

Feeling the heavy atmosphere, Wuyan suddenly smiled, straightened up, and said, "Well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Worrying too much about everything will prevent us from doing anything. Don't forget, we are the invincible heroes!"

Miku and Chrysanthemum were taken aback, looked at each other, and then smiled, saying in unison, "Right! Invincible heroes!"

At the same time, the old man on the ship's bow also said to everyone, "Because the journey is long, our auction house has already prepared the flying ship. If it causes any inconvenience, please bear with us!"

The old man only meant to say a polite word, but he didn't expect that many female mages below were glaring at him, leaving him puzzled.

Seeing this, Wuyan almost laughed, and Chrysanthemum and Miku also looked at the old man with displeasure. If looks could kill, he would have died hundreds of times.

Wuyan was already suspecting whether the old man was really clueless or intentionally making a joke. Saying "bear with us" was like mocking the women who had been exposed.

Despite being puzzled, the old man continued, "Please board the flying ship, everyone. We are about to set off for the Little Ring Mountains!"

Wuyan looked at Chrysanthemum, Miku, Ikaros, and Little Lili, turned around, and said, "Let's go!"
