From MC's perspective:
Soon, I found a new entrance to the forest where no one was there. It's a small narrow path covered with weeds and grasses. If not for powerful eyesight, I would have missed it.
After landing there, I started to follow the route. As per the reports, the crown forest is ancient. Some records say it existed even before the time of the outer sky meteor bombardment.
This place is filled with mysterious and dangerous areas. The outskirts area was relatively safe. But if someone goes deeper, the wizard might face danger.
The disappearance of fellow academy wizards must be related to this. They must have ventured deep.
The mission description had asked me to investigate. But I don't know the purpose of the student's visit. Because no one dares to enter the core area.
Meteor Country's high-level wizards had disappeared when they tried to explore the deep area forest.
Ever since the news was made known to the outside world. It piqued the interest of the neighboring countries. Don't tell me the academy has the same motive.
My eyes flickered. Anyway, I'm not interested in the secrets of the Crown Forest. I have to complete the investigation. After finding the causes, I can leave the forest quickly.
As the time passed, I started moving deep into the woods. The vegetation has become so dense that daylight is getting hard to touch the surface.
The plants and vegetation here are strange to me. Even some of the trees are extending sideways. Which is even more bizarre. What's even more odd is that I haven't found any monster species so far.
Not long after, I spotted my 1st monster. It's an ant species. The ant's body is completely made up of hard shells. The hard shell appears to be influenced by a meteor.
Not only that, the vegetation here is influenced by the meteor as well. I didn't notice it early. But I found solid rock beneath the ground.
The solid rock might be one of the many fallen debris of meteorites. Imaging such a catastrophic event brings chills to my body.
Then I stopped my movement and absorbed the activity of the meteorite ant. The ant monster easily breaks the small pebble which hinders its path.
After crushing it, the ant continues to move forward. I don't know if the ant species are collectible.
Then I pushed down my thoughts before continuing my way. The Tree branches are covering my views. So many tree branches are entangled.
It's hard to guess which one belongs to nearby trees. But so far I haven't faced any hurdles. I hope it will remain the same throughout the journey.
According to reports, the wizard students who came here are elite wizards. Most of them are level-5 wizards. Among the disappeared, there was one level-6 wizard who recently broke through.
Their bodies haven't recovered yet. So where should I start? I don't know whether they are killed by Meteor Country Wizard or something else.
I raised my eyebrows in doubt. But one thing is certain: the Academy has ways to know whether their wizard is dead or not.
Even such a remote and hostile place is not enough to block the academy's eyes.
After pushing down these thoughts, I continued to follow the path.
Time went by,
The surroundings completely went dark a few hours later. Seeing that I decided to spend the night in the Gregor mansion.
Swoosh~
Then I appeared inside. There are many rooms in the mansion. Apart from the bedroom, I have converted other rooms to my choices.
For example, I have long wanted to have my training room. In the past 2 months, I have tried to modify as much as I could.
But there are some missing things, for example metal. The mana and gravity chambers are built with expensive metals. So that no one can damage the training room.
The Training rooms are built for practice. I should keep an eye on the surroundings for interesting items. After coming to this place, my interest has been piqued. You can find meteor debris everywhere in this country.
It's found to be extremely hard. If I can use those items for my walls in replace of the metals. That would be something.
After pushing these thoughts back off my mind. I entered the room. Right now, the room was empty.
Then I closed the door before taking out the Earth Golem Puppet from the System Space.
Tud!
The Golem Puppet's body landed on the ground. Looking at the unscathed puppet. A quick gleam flashes in my eyes.
It was obtained from the ruin. But it's a pity that the core was missing. To make this puppet work again.
I have to master the puppet-making methods.
There are other miscellaneous items in the system space. But I don't know whether there are any hidden dangers left in it.
After reaching level 6, I will inspect other items. There is also stuff from No Man's Land and Tolu Country.
So far I had dumped the items like garbage. Never had time to sort out these items. After taking a glance at everything.
I returned to my room to sleep.
The following day,
8 A.M,
I woke up from my sleep. After completing the morning routine. I entered the control room to monitor the situation.
Seeing the daylight illuminates the surroundings. A hint of satisfaction flashes in my eyes.
Result~
"Wait!"
"Walk slowly, we still have time to reach the gathering point."
At this time, I heard something from outside. "People?" My expression changes drastically.
It's people from outside. A few seconds later, I saw a group of wizards wearing brown uniforms start to walk along this path.
Seeing that I immediately recalled yesterday's aircraft and those high-level wizards.
These wizards are from the government. The group is made up of male and female wizards in uniforms. What are they trying to do? A lot of questions appeared in my heart.
Something is going on. Otherwise, so many wizards won't enter the forest. My eyes flickered. I waited for those guys to disappear.
An hour later,
Swoosh~
I appeared outside after getting ready. But there was no smile on my face. Their entourage seems to be powerful. So I didn't try to use the probe function.
