Chapter 228 The Gregor Mansion
(From MC’s perspective)
The Gregor Site – Wilderness,
I have a vague feeling that other strong guilds are waiting for some opportunity. Otherwise, they won’t let these small guilds come here. So things are doesn’t seem to be that simple.
Then my gaze fell on the faces of these two wizards.
“Gravity Field,” I said.
Puff
When the wisp of gravitational pressure fell on these two wizards, they immediately turned into blood mist.
The process was over in a matter of seconds.
On the other hand, the sword guild’s wizard widened his eyes in disbelief. Seeing that two wizards were completely dead, his senses screamed at him to escape.
But he knows if he tries to do something like that he will die sooner.
After taking care of these two, I walked back to the sword guild’s wizard. While walking, I looked at the sky. It will be a matter of time before it gets dawns.
“Looks like I have to stay here at night,” I grumbled.
When I reached closer, I spotted the terrified face of the sword guild’s leader. Right now, he is the last man surviving among the adventurer groups.
My face revealed a bright smile before asking, “Do you know the location of the ruin?”
The sword guild’s wizard gulped his saliva in fear. All he wants to do now is to escape from this place. So when he heard the words, his first instinct was to spill everything.
He doesn’t want to face a horrific death like those wizards.
“I don’t know the exact area,” he said.
“Oh,” I raised my eyebrows in surprise. I previously assumed this was the case. If they know then the outcome will be different.
Then I asked the other party to lead me to the area. One good thing though, no one will come to this place at night time.
Because at night time, the activities of the monsters will be high in the wilderness. The movements of fourth-order monsters can be found.
So I made up my mind to use this good opportunity. Then he started to lead me to the location. His cooperation made things simple. On the way, he didn’t act suspiciously.
After five minutes, a small lake came into my view. Seeing that, the sword guild’s wizard stopped walking and looked at me.
“We suspect the ruin is below the lake,” the sword guild’s wizard said in a solemn tone. He doesn’t know whether this high-rank wizard will let him live or not. So he was terrified right now.
I looked at the sword guild’s wizard before looking at the small lake. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle, I don’t know whether to trust him or not.
So I asked him whether it was true or not. Then he takes out some sheep scrolls from his storage bracelet and handed them over to me.
I opened the sheep scroll to view. Then I saw the map of the wilderness. This map is an age-old map, I don’t which era it belongs to. But one thing is clear the map is genuine.
I saw the area of venen city also included in the wilderness part. So I got a few points to believe that the location of this site is indeed under the lake.
Various thoughts appeared in my mind.
Is there any way to open it? If it’s located under the lake, then the place might be protected. A quick glint flashed into my eyes. I feel the site might be protected by formations.
The next second, I began to inquire about other minute details from him. There is a possibility that he hasn’t revealed everything. After talking to him for a couple of minutes, I decided to end his life.
Puff
Under the horrific gaze of the sword guild’s wizard, I used gravitational pressure. The wizard immediately turned into blood mists. The process was over in a blink of an eye.
Before checking out this lake, I began to spread my senses around the surrounding area. I don’t want anyone to sneak up on me at the last moment.
After five minutes, I walked closer to the lake. Right now, there is no threat around me, not even monsters. So I decided to check out the bottom of the lake.
SPLASH
The next moment, I dived onto the cold water. Then I gradually began to swim towards the bottom. While swimming, I saw a few aquatic monsters. Including first-order and second-order monsters.
I have a vague feeling that the aquatic monsters will attack me.
A couple of seconds later, I touched the bottom of the lake bed. My gaze was immediately drawn to the odd mountain rock near me. There is no other mountain rock except this one.
My instinct tells me that there is something special about the mountain rock.
Then I wasted no time checking out. The mountain rock is half the size of mine. “System, probe the target detail,” I said to the system.
[Ding! The host command is recognised.]
[Ding! The command is executed.]
[Result: A gateway to the secret place.]
[Ding! The Gateway is intact. It can be accessed by the host.]
[Ding! The host can follow the specific instructions to open the gateway.]
A wide status panel appeared in front of my eyes. My gaze immediately fell on the instructions. A wave of ecstasy washed over my heart. This is the first time, I had used the probe function on something like this.
Then I began to follow the set of instructions given by the system. I used my mental power to draw specific patterns. It’s different from runic inscriptions.
These specific patterns were like signatures. Don’t tell me it’s some kind of ancient wizardry language. But right now, I don’t have time to dwell on this matter. Because I feel I’m inching closer towards the end.
When I finished the last instruction, I retreated backwards a little bit.
BOOM
A deafening sound resonated under the lake.
I decided to use a gravity spell to offset the power. But I got sucked by some kind of l spell in the next second.
Thud
I immediately appeared inside the room out of nowhere. The whole process happened in a blink of an eye. So much so that it took me a couple of seconds to digest the information.
I had never expected the trip to go so smooth. Especially, coming across the Gregor site. I did it with some impulse. But thanks to my risk-taking nature, I got finally stomped upon a great chance.
“Ha…Ha…Ha…,” I laughed out loud in joy. A wave of laughter echoed inside the room.
A few seconds later, I recovered myself. I don’t know what happened outside. So I decided to squander the opportunity as soon as possible.
After gaining some clarity, I looked around the room. It’s an empty room. Then my gaze was drawn to the architecture. This room resembled the architecture of the medieval era. But I don’t know the exact period.
My expression turned a bit solemn. Because this room doesn’t appear to be run down. Apart from the dust, the place looked completely intact.
I decided not to use my magic power here. Who knows what kind of ban there is? Especially, after seeing the operational gateway. I feel there is a lot more to see in this place.
After exiting the building, I looked at my right and left-hand side. My eyes widened in surprise when I saw the long corridor.
“Don’t tell me this is a mansion?” I grumbled.
Especially, after seeing multiple rooms right next to me. I feel this building is a mansion. “The Gregor Mansion,” the next second, I thought of a name.
My assumption is quite possible. Then I decided to check out the nearby room one by one.
…
Pent luxurious hotel,
The former headmaster of little star gate high school, Mr Collin Sanders is patiently waiting for the news. But as time went on he started to worry.
Because from time to time, his subordinates would update him with details. But now it’s been more than two hours, he had not received any message whatsoever.
“What’s happening?” He grumbled to himself.
He knows that brat had no other contacts except the police force. Even that brat’s parents were healers at the local medic organisation.
So it’s easy for the level-3 wizard to kill that kid without leaving any traces behind.
After waiting for five minutes, there is still no message. Collin couldn’t sit back in relaxation anymore. As time went on, he began to worry unnecessarily.
So he decided to contact the leader. When he tried to contact him, surprisingly the call was not connected. Which made him even more perplexed. “What is going on?” He said to himself.
He knows the home address of Vincent Carey. As far as he knows that residential area is well-developed. So there has no problem with the connection.
“Strange,” he said.
Then his eyes gleamed with a twinkle. He also has bio data of the other four level-2 wizards. Mat be they can answer his call. Then he tried to contact them one by one.
Time passed,
“This is bad,” he got up from the chair. When he couldn’t able to contact the rest of the four wizards.𝙚𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜
