"The western plateau? The Amansa region?" Ash said.

The west of the world is perhaps the highest place in the world. It is sparsely populated but there are two countries. They call themselves the Amansha nation and this area is therefore called the Amansha region.

Sean had seen descriptions of Amansha in many anecdotes and books before. If you think about it carefully, Frelia's hometown is also an ethnic group over there, so she looks different from ordinary girls in the Bashalan Empire.

"That's right," Sean replied.

I glanced at the fire on the other side...

This action was also noticed by Ash.

"It's true that the plateau can be reached from Koga City. It might take some time, but it's a relatively close place," Ash said. "Did you notice that the red-haired girl over there is from the Amansa tribe?"

If Ash hadn't said that, Sean might not have thought of this.

That's right. If you look closely, Frelia is from the Amansa ethnic group. However, when I met her ten years later, she was already the leader of the Wings of the Sky. People only called her the Red Dragon Witch and the dragon-taming bloodline and didn't care about her original ethnic group.

After all, he grew up in this country and has established his own status.

After hearing what Ash said, Lucille was curious...

However, Sean didn't answer the other person directly. Instead, he asked another question. "I heard that you are a knowledgeable wizard?"

Ash smiled confidently.

"That's just praise from others, but I do know a lot... I wonder what you'd like to know?"

This guy is really the same as he was more than ten years later, not humble at all, always going above and beyond what he said.

However, Sean did think of something he wanted to ask…

"I wonder if Mr. Ash knows about the Roof of the World?"

"The roof of the world, do you mean the highest mountain?"

"That's right." Sean nodded.

I did see a huge mountain in my dream, and a vague message told me that the secret I was looking for was in the highest place in the world, and only there could I find news of the ancients.

"Why are you looking for that place?" Compared to Sean's confusion, Ash seemed [nervous!].

"Is there something wrong with that place?"

Since the two of them were already chatting, Lucille, who was not ignorant, prepared a small wooden stool for Ash to sit on.

In this camp in an uninhabited area, there are quite a few carpentry items. This also indirectly shows that people often come to the camp and often stay there. Otherwise, these wooden benches would not exist, and the bonfire would also be ready.

Lucille lighted the fireworks briefly...

I don’t know if it was my illusion, but I always felt that this wizard turned his gaze to me from time to time, but he was talking to his mentor at the moment, so Lucille didn’t pay much attention to it.

Ash's gaze indeed shifted from the side to Sean again...

"The highest point in the world is located in the northwest of the Xiata Kingdom. It's almost an uninhabited area, with endless mountains stretching out, almost like an uninhabited area. Some say that the world's most ferocious monsters may be hiding there, and few people who enter can return intact..."

Ash tells Sean the story of the Roof of the World.

There really is such a place, a plateau on a plateau, where the oxygen is thin and there is always the possibility of magical beasts appearing.

Even the greatest mercenary guild in the world would not dare to go to that kind of place. The Xiata people once wanted to send a scientific expedition team to explore inside, but they have never returned since then.

Some adventurers have also traveled to an area, but most of them left because they could not tolerate the environment. Those who actually went in found it difficult to survive in that environment, and the records of that area are scattered.

Some said that they could hear horrible howling sounds that had never been heard before at night, and some said that there existed some unknown creatures in that place, and as soon as they entered, they would be targeted and see horrible scenes... Many adventurers and archaeologists died of serious illness within a few days after coming out of there, and of course some even went crazy.

In short, it’s best not to enter that uninhabited area!

Ash advised, "Although I haven't actually been there, many records wouldn't mention a place with so many negative impressions for no reason. The fact that so many records were made about it really means it's dangerous. If you're planning to explore, I suggest you don't go."

Looking at the "Serious!" expression above the other person's head, Sean knew the words were true.

There was no need for Ash to lie to himself about this, so it must have happened. Even if it wasn't completely correct, there must be relevant records.

"I see!"

"Well, your Excellency should be slightly older than me. Among wizards, someone who can reach such a high level at such an age is extremely talented. I do not recommend you to take risks in such a place."

Holy crap!

Sean was confused. There were actually people who spoke like that.

You look older than me and incredibly talented!

Isn't that a disguised way of praising yourself... What the hell is this?

Honestly, if Ash had said this a dozen years later, Sean might have given it some serious thought, considering it was dangerous. But in his own timeline, he didn't have to think about it at all. Lucille was fine in the future, and so was he, unaffected. And since his purpose in returning to the timeline was to find them, why wouldn't he go?

"I'll seriously consider it," Sean said.

However, this perfunctory answer did not seem to satisfy Ash, and he still insisted.

"Please consider it carefully. If we go to Koga City, I can invite you to visit my wizard tower. I have a lot of records and maps about the Ashaman area there. Maybe you can find a lot of answers from the books. Besides, you are bringing your own disciples with you. It is not recommended that you go to such a dangerous place." He looked at Lucille who was standing aside.

"You mean to say I'm a coward? To tell you the truth, even if we fight now, you can't beat me."

Lucille, who was standing by, was the first to get unhappy after hearing this. This was obviously saying that she was not capable.

How can I accept...

However, as soon as he said this, a state of [surprise!] and [excitement!] appeared above Ash's head.

ah?

Sean was puzzled. This guy was usually a serious person, but he actually had such a hobby.

Could it be that...

He glanced at Lucille and realized what was happening.

That’s not the case. Lucille is still a minor now.

"No, no, no, I'm not doubting you. I believe in your strength."

"I think you just don't believe in my ability!" Lucille retorted.
