In Hearth Manor, inside the Magic Laboratory that had already been updated and upgraded several times, Fels, draped in a black robe, was carefully controlling his magic power, staring at a bone on the experiment table that had been placed inside a Special Magic Device and was growing in a directed manner. Just as that bone was about to fully grow, the Message Crystal in his pocket suddenly lit up.
Disturbed like that, his magic output fluctuated slightly, and the bone growing on the experiment table bent a little, a small section growing crooked.
The magic device gradually went dark. Fels sighed, but did not say anything. He simply removed the crooked bone fragment and the Magic Stone inside the magic device, which had already consumed more than half of its magic power, and threw them into the Waste Bin beside him.
Inside it were already piled many wrongly grown bones, magical materials used to control the bones' directed growth, and several half-discarded high-quality Magic Stones.
"Reed, you contacted me so suddenly. Is something the matter?"
Fels took out the Message Crystal and asked directly.
"Fels, one of our brethren who was born not long ago was caught by Poachers..."
From the other end of the crystal came a young man's voice.
"You've grasped the Poachers' trail and need me to provide some assistance in rescuing your brethren?"
Fels asked.
"No, not that. After we discovered the Poacher team, we disguised ourselves as normal Monsters and attacked them, and our captured brethren took the chance to run away."
"Then you contacted me because?"
"Let me say it. The brethren who ran away encountered another group of Adventurers..."
Inside the Dungeon Labyrinth, in a cave where no Monsters respawned, safe, hidden, and not easily discovered by Adventurers, the Stone Dragon Guros
