The three were escorted to the military camp by soldiers.
After an investigation, Gu Ze's and Rota's identities were quickly confirmed, and they were released.
Rota angrily said to the military officer, "Is this how you treat Mages?"
The officer explained placatingly, "We deeply apologize for what you two Master Mages have endured, but we had no other choice."
"Some Professionals who came out of the mines earlier attacked our troops, causing heavy casualties among the soldiers."
"We were left with no choice but to screen everyone's identity."
Li Wei was not released. His identity was questionable.
No one could verify his identity.
In the end, Gu Ze and Rota had to vouch for him before the army agreed to let him go.
Li Wei said, "Thank you both for your help."
Gu Ze smiled and said, "Don't mention it. Without you, we wouldn't have made it out safely either."
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "But, is your Summoned Beast okay?"
