Bloodline Hall:
"What?"
"Did you find his whereabouts?" Tony Burnett asked.
Tony is speaking to his clan elder. He is none other than Cortez. Tony's voice filled with surprise. His plan of using the net is turning out to be good.
At this moment, Cortez is keeping an eye on the gateway. While the rest of the people are searching for the target.
But his next few words made Tony sigh in disappointment.
"Elder Cortez"
"You should know this assignment is important to me."
"I must do this for the bloodline hall. Mistakes are not allowed," Tony said in a solemn tone.
But his tone had a hint of respect in it. Because Elder Cortez is a level-6 wizard. A level higher than him.
It's not good for any family to interfere in the Academy's affairs. But he took risks because of his higher-ups.
Cortez knows the seriousness as well. Otherwise, the whole family won't be on the same page.
"Young master, don't need to worry."
"The target is a level-4 wizard. We can easily find him. So rest assured of this," Cortez said with utmost confidence.
Cortez knows they are taking too much time on finding a low-level wizard. But the target is a bit special. He already got enough information.
A Gravity Wizard is also known as a Sub-Taboo magic user. By doing this they are going to offend the higher-ups of the Sub-Taboo Hall.
But he doesn't care. Because their family is a bloodline family. And their young master is a member of the bloodline hall. So they have to unanimously support him.
When the call ended. Tony's expression remained the same. This time he pulled up some strings by using his family's influence.
If the plan fails, he is not only cast aside by the higher-ups. He would offend the Sub-Taboo Hll as well.
Tony knows it can't be helped. Because the higher-ups already told him that this was his last chance to climb up the ladder.
At least Elder Cortez's words gave him some comfort now.
Rust City,
The golden carriage starts to move along with other carriages. Surprisingly, the carriage owner decided to travel in this carriage.
Which made me stay in Gregor Mansion. Except for the inside view of the carriage, I don't know what's happening outside.
I'm pretty sure the old man must have spilled the beans. But I'm glad that he didn't know my true appearance.
When it comes to his life. I'm sure these people won't let him live.
"Alas"
"It's the fate of the low-level wizards," I muttered in my heart.
Then pushing down these thoughts, I turned my attention to the system. Since the mana stones were exhausted.
I should consume the treasures to speed up my core progression.
I'm not sure about reaching level-6 wizard. Because my understanding of gravity magic is not that deep.
So I'm planning on touching the limit first.
Come to think of it
I still have some Grade 4 & 5 treasures in my collection.
Then I seeped my consciousness into the storage bracelet. I spotted many looted items. Some of them are yet to explore.
Finally, my gaze was set on the wooden box with a beautiful design pattern drawn on top of the cover.
When I observed the design. A look of understanding dawned upon me. I know now what's inside the box.
Then I brought the wooden box outside and opened the cover to look inside.
The next moment, a bottle with thick golden liquid came into my view.
"Golden Honey," I uttered in surprise.
I remember this is one of my loot collections along with other Grade-5 products.
But this golden honey treasure is a grade-4 product. They say that golden honey treasure can cleanse your body.
Making your wizard body more apt. Considering that, I also have a special physique. I think consuming this treasure will be beneficial to me.
Before taking the treasure, I looked at the outside view. What's happening outside is playing on the mirror screen.
But apart from the rich owner and his mumblings. I'm not aware of what's happening outside.
I think by this time we should pass through the gateway. Then shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts.
Anyway, the next stop is Tolu Country. I don't know where the rich businessman would stop. I'm planning to make use of him.
The next moment, I turned my attention back to the treasure. I picked up the bottle and walked to the hall.
The place where piles of mana stones were now clean without dust. Shaking my head, I sat cross-legged. It's not easy to come across such wealth again. Unless I can enter another pocket ruin.
I opened the cork and drank the golden honey in one go. The warm and sweet energy entered my throat.
The taste of honey was beyond my imagination. It's difficult to describe. When the natural energy entered my body.
It immediately got attracted to my body cells. I suddenly realized that golden energy is a natural treasure that has a great affinity towards life energy.
The power entered my cells making it more attractive. As time passes, I even feel the unactivated cells are getting active.
Time passed,
After two hours, the natural energy was completely absorbed by my body. When I opened my eyes, a bad smell attacked my nostrils.
"Hmm," I furrowed my eyebrows. But when I observed, I spotted a thick layer of black impurities covering my skin.
Seeing that a look of understanding dawned upon me. I want to check the status panel. But the smell is unbearable.
So I rushed to take a bath. After a few minutes, I walked out of the shower and changed into fresh clothes.
When I saw my appearance. I saw some changes. The time of the transfiguration potion is reaching its limit.
I see my hair is returning slowly. Even the facial changes are returning to normal as well.
After checking, I turned my attention to the system.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

A translucent screen appeared before my eyes. Then I began to go through the details. When I saw the changes in the physique column. My gaze stopped for a moment.
The sudden increase in percentage stopped my breath for a moment.
"Life energy," I muttered in my heart.
A sudden realization struck my mind. For a long time, I was wondering how to improve my physique.
Apart from the ancient snake bloodline, I hadn't thought about any other option. But the life energy seems to improve my physique as well.
I also think the bloodline advancement has a lot to do with life energy. But it's a pity, bloodline Hall and I are an opposite faction. It's difficult to get my hands on their research.
But I can do research myself. I'll get as many life-energy treasures as possible.
After pushing down these thoughts, I went to my room to take some rest.
Meanwhile,
The golden carriage along with other caravans and vehicles safely passed the checking and crossed the border to enter the Tolu Country.
The forces of the Burnett clan spread all over the Rust City. But they have yet to find that target. No one would have imagined that their target already crossed the border to reach the other side.
Time passed,
The golden carriage came to a halt at an open field during the nighttime. Tolu Country is different from Sand Rock Country. But the remote and border areas are the same with a lack of mana in the environment.
The ugly-faced owner walked out of the carriage for a break. His servants and bodyguards start to set up a campfire.
Swoosh~
I appeared back in the carriage by using this opportunity. No one can sense my presence now. Then I slightly opened the window to look outside.
For the first time in my life. I left my home country and entered another wizard country. But the lack of mana here still disappoints me.
I have to either go to the Capital or continue my journey to no man's land.
