In the wilderness where Cave Four's Self-Destruct had scraped the ground clean, only the mycelium had grown back in a short time, spreading into an endless white Fungal Carpet.
On this Fungal Carpet, several Mages were operating enormous magical instruments, researching something.

Some of them had been "borrowed" from the United Kingdom,
