Chapter 996: Part 1: Cory's background



From MC's Perspective:

My mana core is reacting to something inside this ore. After confirming it, I cracked the ore. Then I saw a small piece of silver stone in it.

I held the silver stone in my palm. The next second, the stone vibrates before melting into my hand. This all happened within seconds.

The unknown energy was quickly absorbed by the mana core. The next second, I felt something click in my mind.

The understanding of the Gravity Rule went one step further. When the realization dawned on me. My heart starts to race faster.

To confirm, I summoned the status panel.

"Is there anything special about that ore?" She asked.

"No. But after hearing about the ancient ruin. I think I can collect a large number of ancient items," I lied to her.

A look of understanding dawned on her face. She remained silent. It's not that difficult for Ethan to enter that place. It's just if she goes back to the family right now. She needs a reason.

Otherwise, the Elders in her clan will raise their voices against her. Especially the authority of purple city given to her. She can only go back after making some huge profit.

The other hand, I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Is there any problem?" I asked.

Cory nodded her head. She looks at Ethan. She knows Ethan is not a threat to her. So she doesn't mind telling him.

"You know that Purple City is just one of the branches of Purple Chamber of Commerce. I received a task from the Family to cover the Purple City to improve its economy."

"I can't return to the family without doing it," She added.

The other hand, I sighed inwardly. But I was not surprised. I had speculated about it earlier.

Cory was not finished. She then added by saying,"I'm not sure about your identity. Because in Lawless country your identity doesn't matter. As long as you stay in line, no one will bother you."

"But if you touch your feet in my country, the identity will be scrutinized in many layers. So much so that a Supreme Wizard is incharge of our country border checking."

"Word is that he had awakened a rare magic. From which he can see through the false identity of the people," She casually uttered.

The other hand, I felt my mind struck by the lightning bolt.

"A Supreme Wizard is doing a security check in her country. What kind of Country is that?" My heart set off storms.

A cold sweat beads starts appearing on my forehead. Then I realized I have overlooked something. The Purple Chamber of Commerce in the Lawless Country is just a branch. Then the main branch must be strong and powerful.

There is also a huge clan behind her. I can say that her Clan might not be weaker than the Yellow River Academy. In order to confirm, I asked her.

"What about your family?"

"Are you the top force in your country?" I asked.

"Ha...Ha...Ha...," Cory let out a bell of laughter.

Hearing that I became tense.

"If my family is top force, then why am I spending time here, " She said in a bitter tone.

Gulp!

I swallowed my saliva in fear. My heart was in turmoil again. What's wrong with this woman? Is she lying?

Several thoughts come to mind.

"Tell me about your country. I'm interested in it?" I asked.

Cory smiled and said,"I can tell it from your questions. That you want to enter the Ancient ruin #1001."

"But it's not easy. As I said before, the screening is strict because our country is one of the Super Countries called Ancient Country Redwood."

"The name also comes from place because our country is one of the blessed lands of flame magic. Our country is part of the Mage Union. Which is an international federation for the Wizards."

"So naturally our country is targeted by hostile countries to weaken us. To protect our country a supreme wizard is appointed for the screening."

The other hand, the hairs on my body stood. Now, I have realized the gap between her country and mine. The name of her country itself tells how strong it is.

They are part of the Mage Union. The other hand, I have never heard something like this in my country. For Wizards in my country the Mage Union itself is some kind of a distant holy force.

Only the neighboring Supreme Wizard of the Meteor Country has joined it in recent decades. But the Ancient Redwood Country is one of the members. Which means their wizards can naturally enter the Mage Union.

Sigh!

A huge sigh left my mouth. I didn't expect to come in contact with Mage Union this way. I thought after reaching the Supreme Wizard one can know about it. The information left me with complicated emotions.

The Ancient Redwood Country is many times stronger than Sand Rock Country.
