From MC's perspective:
"Now, tell me?"
"What happened these days?" I asked.
Hearing that the rogue wizards were confused but they quickly realized that the person must be from another force.
"Sir, you must be from far away. I can tell you that this place is not safe. The high-ranking wizards from different forces are camped at the Adamont Canyon," The level-5 rogue wizard said in a trembling tone.
At this point, the other three weren't able to bear the pressure. So they fainted on the spot.
The level-5 Rogue Wizard went on to say a few other things.
A few minutes later,
I grasped the basic situation around here. Then I knocked him out before grabbing their storage bracelets and leaving the place. There is no need for me to kill them. It will only attract unwanted attention.
Among the continuous hills, I found a naturally formed cave. It's a hideout for the low-level monsters here.
The cave opening is big enough for me to hide for some time. This place is also surrounded by dense trees. One needs to take a different route to reach here.
Then I walked inside and went deeper into the cave. The path went zig-zag before I found a small bedrock to sit down on. Almost no light can be reached here.
Sitting down, I began to recollect the thoughts. From the words of the rogue wizard. No entry was allowed inside the city for the time being. Even for the wizards from the White faction. It's not easy to enter the city.
What's more the Yellow River Academy has sent 2 support teams. Now I understand why there are more people at the explosion site.
To think they are level-8 wizards. That explains the insane mana pressure in that place. Everyone is exploding with powerful spells.
The Rogue Wizard also told me about the Royal Force Hall, Weapon Palace, and the Adventure Union.
To confirm the information, I can only look up the online news. Then I began to access the news site on the communication watch.
The level-4 wizards: storage bracelets have nothing but low-level elixirs and potions. It's rich considering their wizard stage. But for me it's tasteless.
All 3 of their storage bracelets have useless things for me. So I finally set my gaze on the level-5 wizard's storage bracelet. This guy was the boss of their small group. He must have stored all the important things.
A hint of curiosity appeared in my eyes. When I checked the storage bracelet. A pile of Grade-4 Elixirs and potions caught my attention.
He must have robbed many level-4 wizards to have this number. Then something else attracted my attention.
"A specially sealed metallic box," My eyes flickered.
This silver box has a restriction of level-5 stage. Which poses no threat to me at my current stage. Then I took the silver box outside.
Apart from this box, there were no other useful items in the storage bracelets. When I tried to forcibly open the box. There was a reaction. Some kind of restriction to cause injury for those who tried to open it forcibly.
But I easily suppressed and broke the restriction. Fortunately, it was not dangerous to destroy the box along with the stored item.
Creak!
I opened the box. Then I saw red throbbing fruit in it.
"This!" A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. It can be considered as a high-level treasure for any level-5 wizard and below.
"Throbbing Red Fruit," I recalled the description in my mind. This fruit has only one function which is to purify the mana core.
But for level-6 wizards and above, this fruit's benefit is insignificant. Because the law understanding can indirectly help the wizard to purify the mana in one's body which includes the mana core.
Then I closed the box before deciding to consume tomorrow. Still, there are a lot of things on my mind. How to get back to the Capital without alerting anyone.
Suddenly, the image of an unknown level-7 killer comes to mind. The next second, my expression condensed.
"The dark league was not the only one after my life," I muttered to myself. The identity of the level-7 wizard was unclear.
But from his behavior, it can be said that he was not from the white faction. Fortunately, the crippled old man ended his life at that time.
But still, there are chances for the dark league to send someone after me. Just like what they have done at the Adamont Canyon.
