Chapter 967: Leaving the core area
From MC's Perspective:
After checking the status panel, I waited for the ominous night time to pass.
When it was night time. The expected black weirdness didn't come. In the control room, my eyes lit up with a surprise.
I seem to understand why the ominous black weirdness didn't appear here.
"The core area is a place for the puppet inheritance test. Maybe the entity is protecting the place. Apart from the inheritor everyone will be killed," I said in my heart.
I still remember getting the intruder warning when I had first entered the test area.
Then I removed the unnecessary thoughts. I also noticed that puppet Zero is still standing outside. I furrowed my eyebrows. It can't be helped.
This spy puppet is extremely important. I should find a way to turn it off and on whenever it's necessary. But what happens if the puppet's core energy becomes empty.
A quick gleam flashes in my eyes.
I have decided to ask the puppet next morning. The other hand, the puppet is following the order. There was no sign of trickery or retaliation.
The following day,
After getting ready, I appeared outside.
"Master," the puppet saluted.
Seeing that I nodded my head and asked,"How about your energy?"
"Master, I have a very high energy limit. I need your permission to mana stones," Zero asked.
Hearing that my eyes flickered.
"What will happen if you fail to recharge?" I asked. This has been bugging me since last night.
"Master, my core will shut down automatically. Then you have to put mana stones inside the core to charge it,"Zero replied with a middle aged man's voice.
"Good, I'm going to leave this area. After arriving at the safe spot, I'm going to recharge your core," I said to the puppet.
"Alright, master," Zero said.
After one hour, the puppet Zero has emptied the core energy. With that puppet becomes deactivated and stood in the same position..
In order to confirm, I used the system to probe. The status panel shows that there is nothing wrong with the deactivation status.
"Looks like I don't have to worry about the Star Puppet Inheritance," I sighed inwardly.
Then I grabbed the puppet and put it inside the system space. Zero has mana pouch with it. I don't plan on grabbing it.
After gaining some clarity, I decided to leave.
A few hours later,
I'm flying over the dark green forest. Everyone was afraid of the core area. The other hand, I'm moving without any hindrance.
I got closer to the outskirts. When I left the outer area. I came to the border of the small nation .
Tud!
I landed on the ground closer to the border. To my surprise, I saw familiar faces of young masters who are in the Crystal Class Airship.
"What are these dudes doing here?" I asked myself.
A group of people walking with their butlers. They are crossing the man-made border and entering the other side of the territory.
Seeing that I clicked my tongue.
Why are these people moving ahead? What about the border guards? I see no one from the small nation side.
Feeling the confusion, I have decided to join them. I know nothing about the small nation. Beside, there is one more forbidden area to cross before reaching the law-less country territory.
Walking out the bush, I started moving towards them.
The other hand, the rich young masters laughing and talking suddenly noticed something.
"Hey, someone has managed to come here."
"From his appearance, he doesn't seem to be a rogue wizard."
"May be he is like those guys who walk alone to gain experience"
Each one of them voiced their opinion. But no matter what they won't stupidly offend an unknown person. Beside the wizard who can walk out of the core area of the Silent Forest are not ordinary people.
Those Butlers moved close to their young masters to protect. They had encountered many maddened and sick wizards on their way.
Seemingly harmless ones are the most dangerous.
The other hand, I crossed the border and successfully entered the small nation's territory.
Already, I got a good idea in my mind for how to deal with the situation.
With a smile on my face, I greeted them.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Ethan. I'm a wandering wizard," I Introduced myself.
Hearing that these young masters looked into each other's eyes before confirming something.
The wanderer wizards are those who are from a major force but chose to walk out alone to gain experience in the world. They usually have a hidden identity.
The next second, the attitudes of everyone became more respectful.
"Ha...Ha....Ha..."
"Ethan, it's nice to meet you."
"I'm Stuart John, from the John Clan of the Capital City of the Lizzen State."
"Hey, I'm Brook Eliot, from the Elite Chamber of commerce, Lizzen State."
One by one these young masters introduced themselves.
A few minutes later,
All 6 of them completed their introduction. Undoubtedly, all of them from the influential background of the Lizzen State.
In response, I said,"It's nice to meet you all."
"Well, Ethan. What are your plans?" Stuart asked. He seems to be a leader. Because he is the only level-7 wizard here and the rest of them are level-6.
Seeing someone similar to my age with one level higher than me shook my heart. Apart from Lara White, I never saw a second person.
Even Senior brother Gilbert said that all the geniuses of the academy are experiencing outside of the academy. So I had no chance to meet since joining the academy.
But this Stuart John is something. I used the system to quickly probe him. From the status panel, I have realized that this guy is a bloodline wizard. His bloodline has the traces of a flying monster beast.
Feeling his gaze, I calmed down my heart and replied,"As you all know, I can't reveal my identity. But my goal is to know about this small nation."
"If you guys help me, I will remember the favor," I said in neither a polite or humbling tone. Right now, I'm acting out of natural behavior.
