From MC's perspective:
After hearing that she doesn't have anything precious. I smiled and said, "It's alright. But I have something which can help you."
I looked at her expression.
"Ah?" At first, she didn't react. But when she realizes the meaning. She immediately turned toward me.
"Are you serious?" She asked.
But in her heart, she knows he won't tell lies.
In response, I took out the liquid bottle from the storage bracelet.
Carolina's eyes lit up with surprise. She instantly appeared in front of me using her speed.
"What is this?" She asked.
She can already tell that this product is extremely strong. Her eyes stared at the green color liquid with a golden hint.
"Cough"
Looking at her surprise, I coughed.
"It's Grade-5 Sap Essence. I got it during my trip," I said with a smile.
"Sap essence?" Carolina uttered in disbelief. From the name itself, it's clear that this product is beneficial to her.
And it's also a grade-5 product. There is an opportunity to raise her core further.
"Vincent?"
"Are you okay with giving me this?"
She asked in a doubtful tone. The Grade-5 products are not easy to buy. Even in the auction, it goes for million alliance points. Even for her, she has to weigh multiple options before buying one.
And she believed Vincent's words. This is something that can't be bought secretly.
At the same time, I handed the green bottle to her. This thing is not useful to me. But at the same time, I'm happy to make connections.
In the future, if she helps me then that will be my reward.
Carolina couldn't believe her eyes. She took the green bottle from Vincent's hand. At the same time, a hint of complex emotion flashes in her eyes.
But she remembered what Vincent wanted.
"Okay, I accept the battle. But next time, I'll give you something better," She said.
Hearing that I nodded. Then we talked about a few more things before I left the room. Unlike her, I can't stay here for an entire day.
After walking out of the Sub-Taboo Hall, I head to the library. It's been some time since I have visited the library.
Now I have a plan to hide my breakthrough. It's not wise to stay in academia under everyone's eyes. Especially considering the actions of the hostile family against me.
It will be a matter of time before they find the truth. Until then, I should choose a long-term mission.
In this way, people might think. I have gone outside in search of breakthrough opportunities.
I believe some even started comparing me and Lara White. Shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts.
5 minutes later,
I walked inside the library. Seeing people coming and going. I ignored them and walked to the monitor system to log in.
After registering my details, I went to the geography section to read some books. I already came here before to learn about the ancient battlefields and forbidden domains.
Now I hope to find a good place. As far as I can stay from the dark league and other hostile forces it will be fine.
After walking inside, my attention turned toward the row of books arranged in racks.
I began to read the book name one by one. Before I picked up a few books and sat on the nearby chair.
Apart from me, there was no one in the geographical section.
Time passed,
After half an hour, a certain location mentioned in the book interested me. It was no man's land. The size of this place is comparable to the average country. Such a vast place is no man's land.
What is more amazing is that? This place is considered to be one of the oldest ruins. Even older than some of the ancient battlefields and forbidden zones.
Because the magic scholar can't accurately trace back the time. They knew it was older because of some antiques. But they failed to judge the exact time of the no man's land.
But the records of the no man's land are found in folktales. In folklore, no man's land was a green paradise. And once this place was home to one of the powerful ancient wizards.
Later, as usual, the place got erased due to the passing of time. From green paradise now it has become no man's land.
I believe the magic scholars have yet to find any concrete evidence. Otherwise, the place would have been divided into pieces and given to wizard forces.
But now anyone can enter no man's land. Unlike the abandoned battlefield, ruins, and forbidden zones. There was no restriction placed there.
I can come and go whenever I want.
"That's right," I muttered.
This is the place I want to visit. Apart from no restrictions placed there. That place is free from the influence of wizard forces. Including Light Faction, Dark Faction, and Neutral Faction.
My main purpose is to hide my breakthrough. I can go there to spend some time. Then I'll reveal my breakthrough after my return. If anyone asks me, I can tell that it was due to chance found in no man's land.
After gaining some clarity, I decided to implement it. I should leave the Academy before everyone turns their attention toward me.
I left the library a few minutes later. As I walked out of the building, I received a message from John Meyers.
When I opened the message to read it. A quick glint flashes in my eyes. I texted him yesterday seeking help. Looks like he has read it.
Then I head straight towards the garden.
When I got closer to the flower garden. I spotted a middle-aged man. That person is John Meyers. To be honest, I don't know how to address him now.
We are both level-5 wizards right now.
John Meyers immediately felt the presence of a person nearing him. When he saw Vincent Carey, a bright smile appeared on his face.
But when he tries to find his strength. A frown appeared on his face. As usual, he didn't get anything. But soon he recovered.
"Vincent Carey"
"Looks like you are doing well," John Meyers said.
Sigh~
I sighed inwardly. I'm not enthusiastic like John Meyers. If he knows recent events, I wonder what his expression would be.
"Senior John, I want to talk to you privately," I replied in a solemn tone.
"What's wrong?"
John Meyers understood. From Vincent's expression, he can tell it's something serious.
"Okay, let's go. I have some work in Capital. You can tag along with me," John Meyers said.
Several minutes later,
A magic aircraft left the academy's air space and moved toward the Capital City.
One hour later,
The aircraft dropped two of us on the ground outside of the City.
The appearance of aircraft didn't attract much attention. Because we are not the only ones walking to the Capital City.
Behind us, there is a lineup of monster carts. Not everyone has permission to use Capital City's air space.
After several minutes of casual walking, we entered the Capital City. None of us touched on the main topic until we reached an inn.
It's the closest inn near the City gate.
After walking inside, we both booked a single room for a meeting.
Inside the room,
We both sat opposite each other.
John Meyers activated a sound barrier to prevent spying.
"Vincent, now you can tell me. What's bothering you?" John Meyers asked.
To avoid leakage of information. Two of them deliberately walk on foot. Now he can safely say that no one followed them.
At the same time, I took out the communication watch of the lunatic old man. Before meeting him, I already found a spot to switch things to my storage bracelet.
"What is this?" He asked.
I replied, "This is the communication watch of a person who tried to kill me recently. I want to know his identity. That's why I need your help?"
John Meyers was stunned in disbelief.
"Someone tried to assassinate you again. How could it be?" John Meyers said.
He was shocked. He thought the dark league had given up. But it looks like it's not.
"When did it happen?" He asked back.
"A week ago," I replied in a calm tone.
"Sigh,"
"The dark league is still keeping an eye on you. They are sending wizards after wizards to kill you."
"Fortunately, you escaped this time. Next time, don't go alone until you develop your strength."
John Meyers started to advise.
Hearing that I simply nodded my head. I think he made a mistake. The lunatic old man was a level-6 wizard. Even John Meyers is not a match for him.
"Senior, I think this time it's something different."
"This person uttered bloodline before dying," I said.
"What did you say?" John Meyers asked.
I nodded my head and recounted the final moments of the lunatic old man.
A few minutes later,
John Meyers' expression changed.
"I thought it was external. My mind was set on the dark league. But if it was done by an internal faction, then this matter is serious," John Meyers commented.
"What do you want to do now?" He asked.
"Ahem, I want confirmation. Nothing more," I replied.
