Chapter 1003 The information reached all parties
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.
The Ancient Rock Tribe, one of the Super Large Tribes, expressed jealousy over this situation. They were the ones closest to the forbidden burning forest. Not only that, but they sent an order to the Fiery Beast Tribe to inspect everyone.
However, the Elder of the Fiery Beast Tribe informed his own tribe first before sending off the guest. If he had relayed the information to the Ancient Rock Tribe, they would have also made a favorable impression.
Because of this incident, some of the elders are dissatisfied with the Fiery Beast Tribe's actions.
Then they immediately issued a new order canceling the inspection, which has caused public dissatisfaction.
When the news reached the Fiery Beast Tribe. They were delighted to do it. They suffered no losses in this matter. They had already reached their goal. Coming into contact with a rising star of the Sand Rock Country will benefit them long-term.
When the other Super Large Tribe learned of this news. They can only conclude that the Fiery Beast Tribe was fortunate. Without the inspection, Vincent Carey would not have revealed his true identity.
Days passed,
The Rogue Wizards and Adventurers are taken aback by the different Tribe's response. Normally, unregistered and unknown people cannot leave the small nation in one piece. Discover hidden tales at empire
These tribes either fine them heavily or kill them in order to warn others.
As a result, they were surprised by the treatment given to Vincent Carey, who had suffered nothing. However, the general public did not have access to the internal news.
But the majority of the forces were aware that Vincent Carey was being protected by the Magic Lord. Even the Super Large Tribes who rule this small nation. They were aware of it as well.
That's why the Super Large Tribes didn't find any trouble with Vincent Carey.
However, the news has surprised everyone in the small nation. It did not elicit any hostile responses. However, spies hidden within the small nation and greedy tribe members sold information to others.
The Dark League and Shadow Skull received the news quickly. The Dark League's higher-ups were the most surprised. Because the forbidden burning forest is close to their lawless Country.
According to intelligence, the target was seen coming from the Burning Forest. After confirming it, their expression darkened. Their leader long ago asked them to eliminate Vincent Carey in response to the death of their own Veteran Shadow Skull Wizard.
Because of the Yellow River Academy and the Magic Lord standing behind the target. They were unable to do anything so far.
They had attempted to do something in the Wizard Heart Competition. However, that plan was also unsuccessful. The target remained unknown after the competition ended.
They, like others, concluded that Vincent Carey was taken to a safe location for training. Since then, they have dispatched men throughout Sand Rock Country to gather information about the target.
However, they did not expect the target to appear near their own territory. According to the report, the Fiery Beast Tribe member escorted the target to the Silent Forest.
So they still had a chance of eliminating the target. The higher-ups quickly decided to issue new orders to all of their men in the Sand Rock Country.
As long as they can reach the Lizzen State, which is adjacent to the Silent Forest. They have a good chance of intercepting the target and killing him.
Everyone understands how difficult it is to leave this vast Silent Forest in a single day. More importantly, the silent forest is more dangerous than the burning forest. This makes travel more dangerous.
So the upper management believes they will be successful this time.
Meanwhile,
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.
