The afternoon sun was still quite strong.
The Knights, one after another, became strongmen, hauling bundle after bundle of firewood and placing it all in front of the mountain cave.
Ronin emptied all the firewood from his Space Ring, dumping it just inside the cave entrance.
He casually cast a few Small Flames, a Basic Level Fire Magic, and the dry wood at the entrance was instantly ignited, beginning to burn at an extremely fast rate.
"Jenny, get some water out here. We need smoke."
"I'd be happy to, my Lord!"
Also a Basic Level Magic, Jenny skillfully used the Water Gathering Skill to douse some of the firewood. Instantly, the smoke thickened considerably, some of it even beginning to drift out of the cave.
Ronin switched to using the Clear Wind Skill. Not only did it supply enough air to the fire, but it also blew all the rising black smoke back into the cave.
Seeing this, the group couldn't help but smile.
