Mark and his friends spent three hours fighting the monsters on the last floor of the Novice Dungeon and that included the boss. Unfortunately for them, they had not earned any experience points and even if they did, it was too miniscule to be noticeable which was understandable. His friends did not kill anything and Mark himself was above level one hundred and fifty.

He only did this since he was a bit bored and wanted to check out the Novice Dungeon’s last floor. The Library of Monderro, which Mark had tried before, was much more interesting but his friends would probably not be able to survive in the library’s floors.

“That dive was so stress-free that I now understand why Sam and the others thought that it wouldn’t be a good idea for you to join us,” Blake said.

“Yeah since with him in the party, there’ll be no excitement nor growth,” Enleed said.

“Blake said he already understood. No need to point it out,” Armina told Enleed while rolling her eyes.

After that dive, it was still early but Sam and the others decided to follow Mark home since they mentioned that it would be better if they just rested for the rest of the night and adjusted their mindset for their dive the next day.

When they arrived at the circle of RVs, everyone was there already and food was already prepared. The food was prepared by Donald’s chefs from Earth and he and Robert brought them to Veltun using the Warp Gate.

“Doesn’t any of your guards get curious about where you’re going whenever you retrieve the food?” Sam asked Donald.

“They’re all highly trained, professional bodyguards. I pay them high enough salaries not to be curious about my actions.” Donald answered.

Mark then asked Robert and Danielle that he would like to talk to them after dinner and they agreed.

During dinner, everyone talked about their progress. Sam and his group remained at level four. It was the same with Donald and Robert’s group. They also remained at level four and Albert felt a bit grumpy about that.

Everyone else did understand that the process of leveling up would not be as fast as they hoped. The others from the circus already explained to them the situation but the good thing was aside from leveling up, they were also earning a lot of mana stones.

Basically, the mana stones had two uses for them. One was to use them to purchase items from the magical shops of Narcone and Melona like magic items. The second use was for research. Donald and Robert planned to establish a research group on Earth involving the mana stones and that meant that Sam, Blake, Armina, and Enleed could sell their mana stones to Robert and Donald.

Donald and Robert did not have any plans yet to purchase mana stones from the people of Veltun. Maybe some from Hamil and the others but the best thing they could do for now was to earn the mana stones themselves.

Besides, they truly needed to level up if they wanted to take advantage of the magic that comes from leveling up to increase their lifespan. Donald and Elizabeth themselves were not young anymore so they truly needed the Vitality stats.

After dinner, everyone went to their RVs to rest while Albert, the twins, and Liriel went somewhere presumably to play, followed by Lisa.

Mark, Robert, and Danielle remained at the dining table to talk. At first, Donald wanted to remain since he was curious about what they would talk about but when he learned that it was about the twins and Liriel’s education, he lost interest and left.

“What do you want to talk about?” Robert asked curious since Mark mentioned something about the children’s education.

“Albert suggested to the twins and Liriel that they study on Earth and I thought that it is a good idea since that will allow my children to have a solid foundation in the sciences. According to the elven sisters, having that type of knowledge will give them an edge when it comes to learning about the deeper meaning of the mysteries of magic. That meant that I will need to ask a very huge favor from you. Since you’re planning to return to England for Albert’s schooling, can I ask you guys to allow the twins and Liriel to join him? I‘m willing to pay you in magical items,” Mark said.

It was Danielle who answered.

“You don’t need to pay us! We will be happy for the twins and Liriel to join Albert. Actually, you will be doing us a favor as well since that meant that Albert wouldn’t be lonely anymore since he would be with the people who know about magic. You don’t even need to worry about who’s going to look after your kids. I will look after them.”

“That will be such a huge responsibility, I can’t ask you to do that. I planned to allow the twins and Liriel to stay at your place before school starts and hire a tutor for the twins and Liriel who will teach them English. We can give their would-be tutors an excuse that I’m your friend they’re my kids and we’re from some foreign land. Once they learn enough English, they can then take a test and enroll properly in the school where Albert is studying. I know that can be incredibly costly that’s why I’m willing to sell some of my magical items to you to cover the cost.”

“I said that you don’t need to pay us. Honestly, we’re incredibly wealthy and something like that would hardly affect us financially. You’ve been taking care of us and allowed us to participate in your magical journey which is something so incredible that we can’t put a value on it. Let me handle everything,” Danielle firmly said.

Mark was surprised that it was Danielle who was handling the situation. Based on Robert’s expression, he always allowed his wife to handle these types of things.

“Since the school year is about to start in a month, I was hoping to stay at the place first where you’re staying while Albert is in school. I will of course join the kids on Earth to make sure everything is handled smoothly and of course, I will establish a Warp Gate so each one of you can return to Veltun anytime you want.”

“Let’s do that tomorrow. Let’s all go to England tomorrow and once we’re home, you can establish your gate there and we can return to dungeon diving. In the meantime, you’ll stay in our manor in London and Danielle will handle hiring the tutors for the kids. How are you going to leave the States by the way since you mentioned that your relationship with the government is a bit delicate right now? I assume that they will not allow you to leave the country willy-nilly,” Robert asked.

“It’s not a problem. I have a spell that will allow me to turn invisible so you can just purchase an extra seat.”

“We have our own private jet,” Danielle suddenly mentioned.

Mark kept underestimating the wealth of his friends.

“That’s convenient. I can pass through any custom gates since as I’ve said, I can turn myself invisible. Then once I establish the Warp Gate in your home, traveling from there to here will be convenient.”

Mark then thought that it would be necessary for him to add skill points to his Warp Gate spell since as of then, he could only establish up to five Warp Gates and all the quotas had been filled.
