From MC's Perspective:
Soon, I reached the foot of the mountain. From there, I picked a route and started flying towards the depth of the core area.
While flying, I'm keeping an eye on the surroundings. I don't want to encounter something like a black weirdness.
Time passed,
After getting deep inside the core area, I haven't encountered any danger. The other hand, I don't know any marked places.
Everywhere I look. All those places look the same. The core area is much denser and greener than the inner area. So far I wasn't able to find an inch of empty land.
Also the place appears to be extremely quiet.
I know that the more things are quiet. There must be something wrong. So I don't plan on landing on the ground.
The other hand, the plants and trees are moving like they are living beings. Beneath the ground, there are a lot of skeletons buried.
Who knows how many hundreds of years have passed? The whole forest wants to lure in the wizards. Each time they would be fooled by the calmness of the forest.
Shortly after,
[Intruders kill!]
A wave of magic power scanned me. It has hostile intentions. The next second, I felt something in my system space vibrating.
"What's happening?" I stood in the mid air before taking out Black Star Pendant from the system space.
When I held the pendant in my hand. It immediately disappeared.
[Star Puppet Inheritance Token identified.]
[The only inheritor appeared!]
[Inheritor #10023 can enter the test area now.]
[Kindly land on the ground to participate in the test.]
[Refusal will lead to total annihilation!]
A mechanical voice sounded in my mind. But it's not a system voice.
A hint of apprehension flashes in my eyes. I don't know what it is? But I don't want to take it lightly.
Swoosh!
I slowly descended down to the ground. The green vegetation covering the place suddenly got cleared. Then a circular platform appeared.
Seeing it, I raised my eyebrows in surprise and landed on it.
Boom!
The circular platform activated. The next second, I disappeared from the spot and found myself inside a black space.
The other hand, I sighed inwardly. Everything is happening too fast. Out of nowhere, a black token shot towards me.
I subconsciously grabbed it. When I looked at the black token . I saw it's similar to the black pendant.
A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. I got a big opportunity similar to the Gregor Mansion. And I don't know why I feel I have fate with puppets.
[Reward 1: Delivered!]
[Reward 2: Inheritor #10023 can come again to participate in the Mid Stage Trial.]
[Reward 3: Inheritor can select the type of puppet for creation]
The next second, I found the ground before me split. The next second, a black chamber rose above the ground.
"What type of technology is this?" I sucked a cold breath of air. A lot of questions appeared in my mind. Like the Gregor Mansion, it's shrouded with mysteries.
[Kindly Select Puppet you want to create]
[1. Combat Puppet]
[2. Guard Puppet]
[3. Apothecary Puppet]
[4. Research Puppet]
[5. Flying Beast Puppet]
[6. Intelligence Collector Puppet]
[7. ### Not Allowed###]
One after another the voice shared the information. Hearing that my heart rose with ecstasy. I didn't expect there to be different types of puppets here.
My eyes flickered. There are only 6 types of available for the time being. If want to know further, I had to clear the Mid-Stage Trial.
What's more surprising is that. These puppets are intellectual puppets. They can operate on their own. I don't know who the creator was. He must have an extremely powerful existence in the puppetry wizardry path.
Then I calmed down my heart before making the decision. Each and every important thing. All of them are useful for me at the current stage.
But my goal is a lawless country. In order to survive in that country, intelligence is very important. I feel the intelligence collector puppet is useful to me.
After confirming it, I said,"I want an intelligence collector puppet."
[Option is selected!]
[Kindly put the materials inside the black chamber]
"Materials?" I was stunned. The next second, I thought of something before taking Humanoid Puppet and Earth Golem Puppet from the system space.
I got these things from a mysterious ruin some time ago. I don't know whether it will work or not.
Then I put those puppets inside the Black Chamber.
