The expedition's banquet lasted until dawn.
The supplies brought from the continent were overflowing—provisions that hadn't even been transported into the Realm of Void before the expedition ended. Thanks to that abundance, the expedition enjoyed the most lavish and plentiful feast they'd ever had.
