"How is it turned out like this?" Wilbur said it out loud. He made sure that he was pissed off.
The other high-ranking wizards are backed off by seeing his mood. The situation is unclear to them. If there is anything disastrous happening inside the mystic ruin.
Then how come the trash wizards of weak organizations were fine? Their wizards managed to come back safely. Which means the situation inside the ruin was completely fine.
Wilbur glanced at the screen where the image of the golden fleet and the black fleet were shown. More than anything he also wants to know the situation inside the Royal Force Hall and the Yellow River Academy.
How come the wizards of the Weapon Palace are dead but not of other factions?
Suddenly, he asked his subordinates to collect information about the Royal Force Hall and the Yellow River Academy.
....
From MC's perspective:
We reached the main cabin and saw a mentor waiting for us. At this time we can confirm that other teammates were dead. We are the only ones who came back safely.
Wizard Lion looked into their eyes for a moment before asking them to brief one by one.
He started asking Don Cline.
Time passed,
Don Cline spoke about how he had spent the first few days with other faction wizards before finding Eva. Then he described how both bumped into Lara White Later.
He skipped the part about the killings of Royal Force Wizards and the Weapon Palace and spoke about how the three of them met Vincent later.
From the beginning to the end, he spoke. Like he had prepared for ages.
Wizard Lion didn't show any expression. Then he turned toward Eva.
As time went on, Eva completed her briefing followed by Lara White. Lara White also skipped the controversial part of meeting other faction wizards.
A few minutes later, it was my turn. Like others, I spoke about my wandering days inside the ruin. I skipped the part about fighting wicked wizards and the highly restricted site.
In the end, I finished fighting Martha Bell. Which was consistent with the four of our briefings.
When I finished explaining everything, There was complete silence.
"That was all," Wizard Lion asked.
My eyes flickered with a slight glint. I know our briefing was plain without any adventurous encounters. It might be unbelievable for others.
"Mentor, the mystic ruin was huge. Even for wizards like us, it took some time to travel from one point to another."
"On the way were hindered by difficult terrain and monsters. Most of the days were gone like that," Eva said in an aggrieved tone.
The Wizard Lion was silent. He knew the mystic ruin was filled with wonders. So it's normal for time to keep silent about the treasures. But it's a pity that he didn't know about the cause of the death of other wizards.
Did they die under the hands of wicked wizards as well? A gloomy glint flashes in his eyes. The briefing was nothing extraordinary. But he decided to report about woman Martha Bell to higher-ups.
Who knows in the future? This information might become valuable.
"You guys can go back to your cabin right now. We will leave this place in a moment," Wizard Lion said to three of them.
When the four of them went back to their cabin. Molly Wilkins came to see him.
"Did you find anything valuable?" She asked.
Wizard Lion's mouth twitched. He shook his head in disappointment before saying, "Four of them are strangely tight-lipped about the events."
"They spoke about wasting most of the days exploring and fighting monsters."
"Do you think it's believable?' He asked back in return.
Wizard Lion only believed part of their stories. And he doesn't plan to inquire with them further. All he wanted was their safe return. Though other classmates failed to return. Which was unfortunate.
But he is happy to see the rest of them alive.
Molly Wilkins fell into deep contemplation. Just before coming here, she saw six wizards from the Royal Force Hall and Five wizards from the Weapon Palace on the screen.
This shows the mystic ruin was anything but not ordinary. And comparing the injuries on their body several minutes ago which clearly shows the signs of a fight.
"Well, they did come across one evil wizard," Wizard Lion said.
"Evil Wizard?"She raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Then he explained about the encounter between Vincent and Martha Bell.
After hearing that a look of understanding dawned upon her.
"No wonder Eva had the signs of mental injury," Molly Wilkins said to herself.
Seeing the puzzling expression of the Lion. Then she spoke about medical reports.
Wizard Lion nodded his head and said, "At Least their encounter with an evil wizard is true."
He felt glad that he got something to report back to. But when he turned toward Molly. He saw her expression was not right.
"What happened? Is there anything that troubles you?" He asked.
Molly then replied to him about the Royal Force Hall and the Weapon Palace.
"So many of them died?" He blurted out in shock. "But again what about those other factions?" He asked.
Molly sighs before replying, "Which is what puzzles me? I see them alright."
"There appears to be not many casualties on their side," She added.
"I think we should head back right away," Wizard Lion uttered.
In response, Molly nodded her head as well. They don't know what's wrong with the Royal Force Hall and the Weapon Palace.
Both suffered many casualties. Before they seek out information. It's best to leave right now.
Shortly after the black giant fleet rose high above the clouds in the air amidst the shocked gazes of everyone before moving away from the place.
The scene didn't surprise other small and medium factions. As they are planning to leave as well. But it didn't sit well with the Royal Force Hall and the Weapon Palace.
These two big factions are waiting for the information. So the Yellow River Academy's sudden movement caught them off guard.
