Chapter 148 Our Home

Our Home

[Ace POV],

When the light from the scroll in Chris's hands suddenly dimmed, I sensed the mana in the air rush towards the direction Chris was located, forming something resembling a boundary around him.

This continued for a few more seconds before the scroll in Chris' hands suddenly flew away from his grasp as it headed to the exact location I had previously pointed out to Chris as the scroll began to hover in the air after it arrived at an area that I and Emma thought would be ideal for the building.

Perhaps it was because the specific building deed we brought had a defective magical house sealed in it, but the image I saw on the scroll did not strike me as large or as grand as the one I saw on the first building deed I studied before, so I believed that the location Emma and I chose was an ideal place for the building in terms of the environment because it was close to a waterfall and in terms of environment accommodation. After all, the area we chose was indeed large.

All of this was considered before I told Chris to place the building here, but nothing happened even after I waited a few seconds for the scroll that was hovering in mid-air to do something.

Seeing this, I was about to turn to Chris and ask him if anything had gone wrong when a loud explosion resounded around us.

At some point, a large magical circle appeared in the air, larger than the one made by the rank 1 wind hawk I had previously encountered, and dropped a structure that resembled the image of the building on the scroll to the area where the scroll was hovering.

I said drop because that is exactly what happened, and despite this, the building did not collapse.

I had no idea what happened to the scroll the building landed on.

After all of this occurred and the commotion caused by the sudden appearance of the building subsided, I finally took the time to examine the structure, and I must say that the image I saw on the scroll could not compare to the real thing in front of me.

I wasn't even close to the building or mansion that appeared, but I could tell it was massive and everything looked expensive.

The exterior of the Mansion suggested that the structure should be built in a medieval style.

The word Grand was spelled on the gate leading to the mansion itself.

And, yes, the mansion had a gate and a fence, which were not visible in the scroll image.

As I considered these things, I made my way slowly to the mansion, accompanied by the others.

I attempted to open the mansion's closed gate as soon as we arrived, but it refused to open no matter how hard I tried.

This was completely unexpected because I, despite having the physique of a rank 1 specie, couldn't open a gate.

'What is going on here?' I wondered as I tried to open it again, only to have something unexpected happen as a panel appeared in front of me.

'And here I was thinking about jumping over the gate,' I thought as I read the texts on the panel that appeared suddenly as I realized what was going on.

[Discovered an ownerless Low Rare Grade Defective Magical Building],

[Protection Mechanism Disabled],

[Would you like to claim ownership of the building?],

[Y/N],

...

When I looked at the panel in front of me, I realized why the gates wouldn't open no matter how hard I tried.

It was because the magical building in front of me had some sort of security mechanism.

While it was impressive, I couldn't help but wonder how it would stop someone of my level with just this, given that I could jump over the gate' and enter the building's compound without using the gates.

And, while the gates were quite high, a person of my level could pass through them.

As I was thinking about these things, I told the others behind me what was going on, and they all agreed that I should take ownership of the building first to see what was going on.

Seeing this, I returned my attention to the panel in front of me as I willed my thoughts to accept ownership of the building through the panel as something happened immediately after I took ownership.

The previously closed gates to the building opened on their own as a stream of unfamiliar information entered my head, and when I was finally able to digest it, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

According to the information that had just appeared in my head, this mansion had a name, which was Colerene Mansion, and I had no idea why it was called that.

Perhaps it was a name inspired by a specific person, but that wasn't the point; the point was that this mansion was magical, with a variety of functions to back it up.

One thing that struck me was that this mansion was equipped with Magic spells that could be used to attack and defend, and the amazing thing about all of this was that all of the spells in the mansion were rank 1 and a few of them had crossed that level.

This alone made it a treasure, and even though I hadn't seen the power of a rank 1 spell, I could tell it had to be something.

Another thing about the mansion was that it ran on energy, and this energy appeared to be low because, according to what I received from the mansion, the reason I was still alive was that the energy that remained in the mansion was low.

Yes alive, because, according to the information in my head, when I was attempting to forcefully open the gate, I was already considered an intruder, and if the mansion just appeared to have any spare energy that was enough to fire a spell, I would have been shut down by a rank 1 spell at that time.

It was only because there was insufficient energy that the mansion protection was eventually disabled, and the reserved energy was depleted to the last drop, that I was able to gain access to the mansion and claim ownership of it.

And the mansion's last ounce of energy was completely depleted when the gates opened. That was how low the mansion's energy reserve was.

Perhaps this was the doing of primordial chronicle for the person who brought the building deed to have access to the building.

I'm not sure if this is correct, but since everything worked out in the end, I didn't think about it.

There were some other magical functions the building had, but because they all required the use of the energy that the mansion runs on, I didn't bother going through them thoroughly and will do so later because there was something else that was more important.

We finally had a place to live, so we had to go check it out and, in the process, we will submit our ongoing quests.

As I considered these things, I led everyone to the mansion through the gates, stepping our feet on the place we'll call home from now on.
