In the end, Andrew reluctantly agreed to Luca's plan.
He led Luca straight to his home in the All-Beings Empire, within Evil Mountain Prefecture, in a city called Riverside.
Riverside City was not too far from the exit of the Wasteland of Bones. After all, Evil Mountain Prefecture itself had been named after the colossal mountain range along the Wasteland's border—Evil Mountain.
On the road to Riverside, Andrew repeatedly warned Luca about the dangers he needed to keep in mind.
"The Empire is mired in massive conflict right now, so don't reveal your true strength in front of just anyone. If you show your power too easily, they'll drag you off and force you into the army.
"When we get to Riverside, I'll be heading to the Adventurers' Guild. If you want to come along, you can. I don't know exactly what your goals are, but I figure you're looking to gather more information."
Luca listened patiently to Andrew's words.
