Chapter 543 Surveilance (3)
”It is like a hologram… It is a lot more detailed than I had expected,” Icarus said.”It is probably because the mana on that continent is on another level if compared to here,” Billy said while looking at some massive trees. “I am surprised with this as well. It will help a lot.”
Most of the trees of that world were like fifty meters tall, probably another effect of the high mana in the environment. At some points where Icarus made the record, even the grass reached ten meters of height. After looking around for a while, Billy also found some overgrown worms and insects. He wasn’t particularly a fan of them since most of them looked quite ugly from a close range. In any case, the first record only showed them some of the vegetation of that world, and after five minutes, it disappeared.
”It can even last this long, huh,” Icarus said.
”Are you sure that you are moving on the right spots?” Lucyna asked. “Even with your speed, you would leave many traces in areas like those.”
”Relax, I wasn’t fast enough to burn anything, and I followed the path created by others,” Icarus said.
Billy smashed the second memory crystal, and then the hologram of a destroyed village was revealed. Everything had been burned to a crisp, there were many craters around like something powerful had hit those spots, and it didn’t seem like it had been a magic projectile… Billy checked the burned places, and he frowned when he saw that the flames didn’t spread, but everything around had turned into charcoal. It was almost like something immensely hot hit the spot, but only for a moment.
The next memory crystal showed a lake. Even though it was underwater, it revealed the presence of some alligator-like monsters that were fifteen meters long… It was amazing that they could swim around and that they were so close to Icarus. Still, he didn’t do that on purpose, and he had no shame in admiting that he almost died thanks to those.
”Wow, I never noticed them… Fortunately, I didn’t stay there for long,” Icarus said while showing a forced smile.
Billy was amazed that someone could say something like that with a smile on their face when they made such a stupid mistake. Nevertheless, Billy was starting to get troubled while wondering why everything had to be so overgrown on the new continent. Still, it was also a land that would give birth to many powerful beings and people… Their numbers shouldn’t be that high, though, since not everyone has the luck and talent to become strong.
The next data was of a village, one that actually had people in it. While Icarus didn’t get that close, he got close enough to make half of the village enter the range of the crystal. Billy was amazed for many reasons. One of them was the fact that all the houses were tree houses, so they lived a few meters above the ground. Another was the fact that the inhabitants were demi-humans who had long and thick arms and a lot of fur on their bodies. They didn’t look like half-monkey half-humans, but Billy couldn’t find any other features that would make them look like animals. Billy thought that most of them would look like that, but he was wrong.
”Those guys are pretty strong. They can knock out some thick trees with a single punch,” Icarus said. “Still, they don’t have good senses, so I managed to approach them without being noticed by them.”
”They give more the vibe of a fantasy world than the people around here,” Lucyna said. “Did you find only that tribe?”
”No, but those are the only ones I got the visual data since I couldn’t say if the others would notice the box being used,” Icarus replied. “I saw some people with horns, wings, tails… I think that continent is at a constant state of war, but their diversity still is pretty high.”
”Any signs of someone using skeletons or zombies?” Billy asked.
”Nope, I didn’t see anything like that or even signs of an undead army for that matter,” Icarus replied.
It was hard to say how big that continent was, but Billy thought that the necromancer would live near the eastern coast. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be much point in them heading east to look for other places or people. Also, Billy never heard of weird creatures showing up at the coast of Hiloh or Riormi state, so they probably didn’t send a zombie or a skeleton first… They came using some sort of flying zombie mount, hoping that they would find something…
In any case, the data of the other memory crystals showed more of the environment of some species of monsters than anything else. Still, it gave Billy and Lucyna a good feel of the place even though they had never been there themselves.
”I suppose I should try making a magic telescope that will show a video of what it is being shown through the lenses the next time,” Billy thought. “Even without the video, I will be happy with the one that can show me things thousands of kilometers away.”
”Even if you do, the curvature of this world won’t let you see so far away,” Icarus said.
”Yeah, but I am planning to check that continent with my own eyes eventually, so that tool will help,” Billy said. “I suppose I can make a prototype and give it to you.”
”If you are willing to go that far, might as well create a satellite and send it in orbit,” Icarus said.
”That may not be a bad idea…” Billy said.
”Seriously? I was joking…” Icarus said. “You can do so many things with magic and create so many tools…”
”You can call me: Batman of the magic world,” Billy said.
Billy wondered what those two would think if he showed them his newest armor, but he decided to keep it as a secret yet…
