Originally, Mount Taite was an active volcano, but it has not erupted for several hundred years. The merfolk arrived at the town of Gelsa below from thergeke at the summit of Mount Taite hundreds of years ago through the river.


    In thergeke at the mountaintop, there was a temporal passage leading to the merfolk''s world. It was because of this passage that the merfolk appeared in this world. Fremont once entered the merfolk world and left the eighth dragon cauldron there.


    Moreover, Fremont made an agreement with the ruler of the merfolk world. As long as the eighth dragon cauldron remained in the merfolk world, the merfolk could travel to this world through the temporal passage. However, if someone retrieved the eighth dragon cauldron from the merfolk world one day, the temporal passage between the two worlds would close, and there would be no more interaction between them.


    The old man said, "Wilbur, the merfolk world is extremely dangerous. There are many unexpected dangers there. If you''re not willing to go, there''s still time to say no."


    "I''m willing."


    Wilbur expressed his intentions in a straightforward manner. After all, if he could not learn the secrets of the dragon n, his strength would hardly make any significant improvement. Moreover, Light Valley had already taken notice of Wilbur. If he did not enhance his strength quickly, once Light Valley changed its stance, they might send someone to kill him.


    If Wilbur did not know about Light Valley, he would not need to worry about the whereabouts of the eighth dragon cauldron. However, now that he knew about Light Valley''s existence, strengthening himself was the only way to survive.


    Wilbur knew that Light Valley would not easily let him off. Although they had not made a move yet, they had been sending people to monitor him since some time ago. Otherwise, during his time in Rostead, Tracy would not havee to him voluntarily.


    Various special creatures appearing in Wearson Valley and the unknown creatures in the basement of the Green Source Group indicated that the people of Light Valley were researching things unknown to others.


    That Dark Lord might be willing to do anything to return to his world, even destroy this world. Therefore, whether for himself or for this world, Wilbur needed to quickly find the Nine Dragon Cauldrons and learn the secrets of the dragon n from Fremont.


    Only after enhancing his strength would Wilbur have the chance to change his own and this world''s fate.


    Although Wilbur had a strong sense of justice before, it was not as pronounced as it was at that moment. Wilbur believed that it was likely due to the Light Glove and the power of light. Because Wilbur''s heart was very kind, his connection with the power of light was very strong, and his sense of responsibility became stronger as a result.


    Wilbur''s understanding of human nature was very clear. Therefore, he knew that it was impossible for human nature in this lower dimension to have such a strong sense of responsibility. Only the power ofws from different dimensions could enhance the kindness in human nature.


    "Good!"


    The old man looked at Wilbur seriously and said, "Rest for a few days. Ten dayster, I''ll apany you. We''ll go to the merfolk world together to retrieve what you want."


    "Sir, are you going too?"


    "Of course. You''ve helped me retrieve what I wanted, so now it''s my turn to help you retrieve what you want. I''ve always been a fair person."


    "Thank you, sir."


    Wilbur rested for ten days. On the first day when his body had not fully recovered, he did not get out of bed. However, starting from the second day, Wilbur got out of bed every day to split firewood, catch fish, and drink fish soup every day. After ten days, his body''s resilience improved significantly.


    Standing on the ice, the old man reached out and said, "Come, let me see how much your strength has improved."
