With Meow-White's explanation, Hilia finally understood how they'd gotten caught.
Hilia said speechlessly, "With strength like yours, why are you trying to join the fun? You even want to take down a heretic stronghold. Back when I was only Second-tier, I only dared to… oh, right, I forgot, I already took care of a bunch of heretic strongholds when I was Second-tier."
Meow-White bowed deeply. "Thank you, Benefactor, for saving us again!"
Hilia said, "Weren't you saying you came here to travel? How did you end up running in here?"
The two exchanged a look, and Meow-White said, "Sorry for hiding it from you before, Benefactor. Actually, we came to Dragon Island from thousands of miles away for Dragon Island's Volcanic Stones."
"It's not like Dragon Island is the only place in the world with volcanoes. The Beastman Empire has them too, right?"
