"What's going on here? Why are they bringing family members along?"

Andrew slightly frowned.

He thought to himself, did something happen in the towns these desert residents originally lived in?

But it didn't seem like that.

After all, apart from exorcising desolate beasts daily, Andrew's main focus was still on the dual-fire war.

Rose was dead, but the dual-fire war wasn't over.

The original strategy was not just to counter-kill Rose.

But also to convey this information to the front lines!

"After all, this isn't a game. If you solo kill someone on the top lane, there's no game system to automatically broadcast the solo kill message to the whole map!"

Andrew thought, "We need to actively release this information ourselves!"

This was exactly what Barbara had been working on since waking up.

There were quite a few functional little spells of the "image recording" type within Water Magic. Of course, Warm Fire Magic and Earth Fire Magic had them too.

Even without magic, the Flame Realm had magic guidance devices for photography, it's just that Wildfire Town was too backward to see them.

In short, the scene where the desolate beast horde attacked Wildfire Territory, only to turn back to human form one after another...

And the scene where Rose drove desolate beasts to disgust people, only to be counter-attacked by the re-humanized Flame Warriors, ending with no remains left—

Andrew had recorded all this using Water Magic in its entirety!

On the night Rose was killed—

After Barbara watched the magic image, she stayed alone in the room for a while, seemingly needing time to calm down.

After leaving the room, she looked deeply at Andrew and finally said slowly, "I'll figure out how to reconnect with my family and transmit this intelligence to the front lines as soon as possible.

Although the contact methods with my family—our whole communication network of the Warm Fire Commerce Association—have been severely interfered with by those Magic Guild people.

But anyway, without the pressure from Rose now, even using a bit of a stupid method, the message can still get out."

Andrew nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you."

He knew that this so-called stupid method might be using the "Living People Cemetery" line through the Inner Sea Desert towns, with the "Desert Eagle Communication" way to send messages. This old-fashioned method was actually not easily interfered with by the enemy during wartime.

Thinking about it, Andrew asked another question, "What was the original way you contacted your family?"

"Oh, it's a kind of magic technology similar to the Magic Guild's 'Fire God Space'."

Barbara explained briefly, "But our technology isn't called 'Fire God Space,' it's called 'Heart Fire Net.' It's actually closely related to my main focus, 'Heart Fire Eyes.' It is said to have been developed by a warm fire mage from our family who had cultivated the Heart Fire series of magic to its highest state."

"I see..." Andrew listened seriously, thinking this is essentially an otherworldly version of the Internet?!

Is there really such a thing in the Flame Realm?

It seemed like this world wasn't as primitive and backward as he thought or observed.

It's just that as a newbie village, Wildfire Town is too remote. Compared to big cities like Warm Fire City and Scholar's Fortress, it's too backward, which gave him the impression that the Flame Realm was so backward.

"Heart Fire Net..." Andrew was thoughtful and fell silent for a moment.

Barbara quietly watched him, with her mind involuntarily replaying over and over the scenes she had missed because she was unconscious, as she had just seen through the magic images.

She was of course also shocked by the terrifying truth that "desolate beasts were actually transformed Flame Warriors."

At the same time, her feelings for Andrew also changed once again.

"Andrew, who exactly are you?" Barbara wondered.

Now, she started to think: Even the magic hermits in the Southern Retreat Land might not be able to teach a student like Andrew.

What Andrew didn't know was that while Barbara was trying to transmit the battle situation from Wildfire Territory back to the Warm Fire Commerce Association, she also attached a "private addition," which included her observational notes on Andrew up to that point.

Barbara's thought process had now become simpler: No matter who you are, you're definitely a target to be drawn in.

"Actually, without these unexpected changes like Humboldt, Rose, and the dual-fire war, I should have completed my 'coming-of-age journey' by now and returned to Warm Fire City to start making decisions and choices about my future 'professional partner'..."

Thinking about this, Barbara suddenly chuckled, "What am I thinking? I'm a Warm Fire Mage, and the professional partner I need is a Crimson Knight, not another Warm Fire Mage..."

She shook her head, suppressing the thought.

Of course, Andrew didn't know about these little thoughts inside Barbara.

As for Barbara, Andrew himself also had some thoughts he hadn't had before, which he disguised very well and didn't reveal at all.

After acquiring a hint of the Warm Fire Order's aura in the Water God Mark, neither Andrew nor Barbara were aware of it.

But Andrew now had an inexplicable urge when he saw Barbara.

That unaccountable feeling of closeness he had when he first saw Barbara had now become even stronger.

He just... just wanted to kiss her!

Andrew didn't know what was happening to him, sometimes thinking: Could it be that there is some special connection or bond between Water Mages and Warm Fire Mages? Otherwise, how to explain this impulse?

Since becoming a Water Mage, especially after acquiring the Water Soul Constitution, it seems that his renal water system had enhanced a lot, so indeed, more strange thoughts occurred than before his transmigration...

But this impulse to kiss her whenever he sees her, isn't it a bit too much?

I am a gentleman!

Deep inside, Andrew still had a thought: Does she also have this feeling of closeness and urge toward me?

Ahem, well...

In any case, Andrew was basically just exorcising desolate beasts on the one hand, accumulating more fire extinguishing value, and on the other hand, waiting for the latest news from Barbara to see when he could contact the Warm Fire Commerce Association again.

Because his focus was mostly on these two things, Andrew was so surprised and unexpected when he saw more and more desert residents voluntarily bringing their families and arriving at Wildfire Territory again.

Because this was totally beyond expectations!

"They are here to seek refuge with you."

An Ya seemed a bit hesitant to speak about this.

In her view, Andrew sending back the desert residents who were driven here by Rose to each of their towns was itself a very confusing action.

She thought to herself that the lord she currently served didn't know: Living in a town in the Inner Sea Desert under the leadership of a Chief Mage who regarded the residents' lives as important and had a magic that could turn desolate beasts back into humans was such an irresistible thing?
