From MC's Perspective:
The flying car is flying smoothly towards its destination.
I have decided to collect some information.
"Mr. Morris, why is the Wizard Heart Competition taking place so late in your country? I asked.
On the other hand, Morris, who is driving, didn't find anything wrong in this statement. Because it was the common doubt in everyone's mind.
Usually, the Wizard Heart Competition takes place in a strong country first followed by other countries based on the nation's strength.
"Mr. Vincent, honestly I'm clueless about this as well. But the elders on my side think that Mage Union was behind this decision," Morris replied.
"The Mage Union, also known as the Wizard Union, is a global association of wizards. If I am correct, they could be the sponsor for this prestigious competition that spans multiple countries," I said in my heart.
As time passes, I have gleaned some information from Morris' mouth. But I did not want to keep asking about the Wizard Heart Competition. Otherwise, Morris will suspect me.
So I changed the subject and inquired about the different tribes.
Several hours later,
We arrived at the border before nightfall. Morris left the place after dropping me off. He also gave me his contact information before departing. It will be useful if I return in the future.
Then I shifted my gaze towards the familiar border. The Star Puppet Inheritance comes to my mind. So I will not have any problem crossing the core area.
But first, I decided to conceal my identity again. I put the mask on my face before crossing the border.
Meanwhile,
The Elder of the Fiery Beast Tribe had already reported the news of Vincent Carey back to the Tribe. When the Tribe Leader and other elders heard it. They were obviously surprised.
But the surprise appeared for a moment before it vanished. Even though their small nation was surrounded by the forbidden areas on all sides. It doesn't mean that they don't know how to gather intel.
They were especially aware of the names of the Wizard Heart Competition winners in neighboring countries including the Sand Rock Country.
They know Vincent Carey won the level-5 Rank Wizard Heart Competition. They also heard rumors that Vincent Carey is protected by the Magic Lord.
This prompted neighboring countries to pay attention as well. The Magic Lord is superior to the level-10 Supreme Wizard.
Only the Super Large Tribe's heirs enjoy similar privileges. The Leader of the Fiery Beast Tribe is overjoyed that they have made contact with such a rising star.
If that child returns to the small nation in the future, they can strengthen their ties even more. Everyone smiled as they thought about it.
On the other hand, news of Vincent Carey's appearance in the small nation spread quickly to other tribes as well. Including the Super Large Tribes.
I am back at the Star Puppet Inheritance's location. Earlier, I had intended to avoid this location. But I changed my mind midway through.
Because I gathered a large number of artifacts while at the Purple Chamber of Commerce. Those artifacts were obtained through Lady Anderson's five free chances at the time.
Among these items, I discovered some broken parts of ancient puppets. Right now, I have poured everything into the steel platform.
The conscious in charge here is inspecting the items. I am standing in front of the platform, hoping that something useful can be done.
[Mysterious metal is found to improve the quality of the puppet body.]
The voice that neither male nor female sounded.
Hearing that, my eyes glint. I came here to try on a whim. But I did not expect to receive a windfall.
After that, I removed Zero Puppet from the system space.
The Puppet stands tall. Looking at the puppet, I remembered that I had not had the opportunity to use it in Purple City. Then I took the Magic Cloak and clothes off its body. The puppet was now completely bare.
How do I make use of the mysterious metal? I asked again.
At this point, I have realized I can normally communicate with consciousness.
[Place the Mysterious Metal and Puppet Body in the Metallic Chamber.]
The voice sounded again.
Hearing that, I looked into the small room in front of me. The puppet had previously emerged from this chamber.
Creak!
The door opened in the following second.
Seeing this, I chose the mysterious metal and the Zero Puppet. Then I placed two of them in the chamber.
Then I walked back to my position. I am amazed by the chamber's function. I only passed the basic trial, which was preliminary.
Except for the Zero Puppet, I received nothing from the previous trial. I suppose only after completing the mid-level and other trials. I can get accurate information.
Still, I am not sure if I will be able to receive the entire inheritance because I am not a wizard with any Puppet Magic experience.
Sigh!
A long sigh escaped my lips. All of this trouble was for the future. I can use Zero Puppet to my advantage right now.
Simultaneously, the consciousness activates the chamber's function. The mysterious metal began to melt at a certain frequency. Then it slowly starts to seep into the puppet's body.
In the blink of an eye, the metal liquid covers the entire puppet body. Starting with the core, the puppet's quality improves.
