Chapter 3093: Chapter 106: Settling In

The North American Team is a reincarnation team that leans toward the technology side.

This is evident from the captain Villand’s bionic eye, the mechanical hacker Daniel, to Berserker Ivan’s metallic bones.

Originally, they thought that upon entering The Magical World, they would be met with strange looks.

Villand had even prepared a related explanation—such as the Shuoges Planet having unearthed the ruins of an ancient civilization, thus having such unique equipment, etc.

But shortly after crossing the grand First Gate, the reincarnators immediately realized their thinking was off.

The technological equipment in this world is also very advanced.

However, they have another name—Alchemical Items—according to the introduction of the little witch who received them, purely mechanical alchemical items are seldom chosen by wizards as it is difficult to achieve the best solution between high precision, high power, and stable reliability.

"—To be able to become a High-level Registered Wizard with an alchemy puppet as the foundation, that’s truly impressive."

She praised Daniel, the only mechanical man in the Shuoges Mission, unreservedly, as she led the members through winding corridors, around a vast lake, past a silent river, and through lush forests, until they arrived at a sunny slope and stopped, softly introducing:

"—Here is where you will live during your time at school... During the hunting party, our volunteers will take you to the Hunting Ground every day. Other times, you need to stay here. Behind that slope is the Edge Academy’s residence; do not go there... There’s a big ship under the cliff over there, it’s quite dangerous, don’t go there either. If you need to shop or want to go to Beta Town, you can apply to the volunteers, and once approved by the school... Unauthorized actions are prohibited."

Saying this, she seemed a bit embarrassed, adding: "—The Edge Academy has not been established for long, conditions are limited, apologies for the neglect."

"It’s alright."

Villand showed a gentle smile, comforting the little witch in front of him: "As ambassadors, we often eat and sleep in the open, having a tent to shelter us from the wind and rain is already quite satisfactory..."

Then he shifted the topic: "—However, our whale ray encountered a minor accident when passing through a section of the Star Sea, and the equipment everyone is carrying might be damaged... Could the school allocate a small area for us to adjust our equipment? We are willing to pay enough gold as compensation."

Upon hearing the word ’gold’.

Before the leading little witch could speak, the little fox lady who had been following her all along had her eyes light up, impatiently whispering something into the little witch’s ear.

Although she used a bit of magic, in the ears of Villand, who is equivalent to a Big Wizard, it was as good as speaking openly.

"—Agree with him! I heard from the cat at the gate that as long as they sign a waiver agreement, the school doesn’t mind them wandering around the Silent Forest... Why not earn the free gold!"

The little fox lady urged.

The leading little witch hesitated, bit her lip, finally shook her head, was about to refuse, when Villand smilingly added: "—We will be responsible for our actions."

With that said.

Zheng Susu had to take out a Silence Contract and pass it to the members of the mission, while carefully instructing: "—If you want to test equipment, just stay at the edge of the forest, don’t go deep into the Silent Forest... You don’t have the mark of the First University on you, entering the forest randomly, it’s easy for the creatures to attack you.

Also, there are many Black Wizards in the forest, very dangerous characters... They are like bookworms in the library, never completely dead, nor disappear. They can survive for decades hiding between the cover and pages of books using weak magic; patiently wait in bookshelves, desktops, wastebaskets, and file boxes. Just waiting for a day when a new, magic-rich book reenters their feeding range, allowing them to feast... And you are those books infused with fresh magic."

She frowned, her little face serious.

Villand carefully studied the parchment in his hand.

The content was concise, the clauses very clear—the members of the mission leaving the designated activity area of the First University are not protected by the First University. Any accidents or casualties, the responsibility falls on the personnel leaving the safe zone.

Very reasonable terms.

He bit his finger and signed with it.

After signing, he lifted his head to see the two little witches looking at him in a dazed manner, Zheng Susu was still holding a feather pen dipped full of ink.

"—You, you..." She stammered, seemingly not expecting the rather handsome young man in front of her to use a Blood Covenant on such an ordinary contract.

Villand had a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.

Lilith stepped forward, took the feather pen from the little witch and the parchment from the captain, happily signed her name, then smiled and said: "Our leader is just that serious... Every promise he makes can be confirmed with a Blood Covenant."

"Wow!"

"Awesome!"

The little witch and little fox lady exclaimed in unison.

Soon, nearly twenty people all signed the parchment, and Zheng Susu led them to choose a golden-yellow tent on the edge of the slope.

The tent was about two meters high, seemingly only able to accommodate Ivan sitting inside.

But lifting the tent flap revealed a different world inside—the tent’s space was divided into three levels by an Extension Spell, the ground floor was a place for brewing magic potions and conducting temporary magic experiments, with a shiny experiment table; the middle layer was a guest lounge, with tall floor-to-ceiling windows and velvet drapes, and several elegant sculptures decorated around, adding a lot of style to the lounge; the top layer was the resting area for the mission members.

A spiraling oak staircase connects the three floors, entwined with glowing vines continuously releasing pine-scented condensation mist. The tent’s top displays beautifully painted star charts that can be seen clearly even during the day.

"—The Memory Flower seeds in the pots are provided free of charge, use as needed. The tent’s defensive magic is linked with the school’s Protect Legal Formation, as long as you stay in the tent, safety is absolutely guaranteed. If you need to use the Astrology Tower or other school facilities, you must apply to the volunteers, then be approved by the school."

Saying this, Zheng Susu glanced at the witch named Selena, adding: "Moreover, if you carry magical creatures, you must declare them to the school, for unified care and management..."
