Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 976: Part 2: Puppet Zero in action

From MC'S Perspective:

The Puppet Zero evasdropped people's conversation and gathered valuable intel. Just as the Puppet Zero rushed past the meeting hall. It felt impending danger.

The next second, the Puppet Zero left the spot and entered another route.

At the same time, inside the decision hall someone muttered,"Strange, I seemed to feel something." But the elder didn't take it seriously.

A few hours later,

The Puppet Zero returned to the Terrace.

"Master," He called out.

Swoosh!

The next second, I appeared infront of the Puppet Zero. Then I investigated the surroundings. Seeing no one has followed the puppet. I sighed inwardly.

There is 2 hours left before early morning. The puppet has spent so many hours in intel gathering.

I asked,"What happened?"

"Tell me everything," I added.

"Yes, master," The puppet nodded before start explaining.

20 minutes later,

My heart rose with escatasy. The puppet was much dependable I thought. The intel was comprehensive and details. Which includes path to the burning forest. I thought both the forbidden forest called as Silent Forest.

But the first one is called Silent Forest and the next one is called Burning Forest. What's more the Tribal people have trade relations with the lawless country.

Which means there is a definite route from here to the lawless country. A hint of satisfaction flashes in my eyes.

"You have done your job. You can take rest," I said.

The Puppet Zero nodded it's head. Then I took the mana stones from the core. The next second, the puppet Zero becomes deactivated.

Then I placed the Puppet Zero in the System Space.

Swoosh!

After investigating the place once again. I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion. It's a day time but so it's dangerous to venture out.

What's more there is one month ban put by the Tribe Leader. No wonder, I thought something wrong with city atmosphere.

The Puppet Zero has also said that Stuart John was here as well. He seems to be stuck here for the time being. To think he came to this Super Tribes to gain experience.

I revealed an amusing smile. Since, I have intel with me. I feel much more relaxed. According to the Puppet Zero. There is only one main path which leads to the Burning Forest from the city.

Which is already great. The path can be only used by the Ancient Rock Tribesman.

Similarly, there are ways to enter the Burning Forest outside. But they are public route. You have to toll taxes and all. I started thinking that the public route is troblesome to handle. I had to watch out for too many eyes.

But here the situation is going to be different. If I'm right there is someone must be stationed at the border. As long as I cross the place, I can enter the Burning Forest.

After gaining some clarity, I started waiting for the night time to appear.

Time passed,

When the clock hit the mid night. I appeared outside in mid air. I was dressed in nornal clothes with a black cloak on top of it and wore a mask to cover the face.

Swoosh!

Then I started rushing towards the destination according to the route in mind. The speed was so fast. I quickly crossed a few distances within minutes.

This time it was different. There seems to no Peak Wizard doing the rounds. I can only see a high level wizards on the grounds. But they can't sense my presence.

So I'm basically fleeing under stealth cover.

A few hours later,

After several high rise buildings, a plain field came to view. Which shows that I basically left the area of Influence of the Ancient Rock Tribe.

Now only the road is left. After removing the distracting thoughts, I continued to follow the route.

Soon, the border post came. I saw tere are patrol guards stationed there. Seeing that I didn't reduced the speed and continued to fly forward.

[Ding! Warning]

[Presence of Level-8 Wizard is detected]

The Mechanical voice sounded in my mind. After hearing that I felt relieved. As long as it's not level-9, I can escape alive.

The people on the ground didn't noticed anything. There is a gloomy forest ahead. It seems to be the entrance of the Burning Forest.

Swoosh!

I crossed the border and entered the Burning Forest.

At the same time, the Level-8 Wizard appeared in the mid air. He is one of the elders in the tribe. He just felt air breaking sound, which is generated form the high speed travel.

He spread his mental power but he found nothing as the result.

"Was it my whim?" He asked himself. Then he looked down at the patrol guards who seemed to have no idea. They are doing theur job as usual.

"It must be my whim," He said in his heart.

The other hand, I continued the flying after entering into the Burning Forest. Like Silent Forest, the Burning Forest is considered as the forbidden zone.

But I think as long as I don't travel by ground. I can be safe. According the Puppet Zero's information, there is reason why is it called Burning Forest.

There seems to be ancient underground volcano located at the middle of the forest. But it was an inactive volcano. It must be ages ago when it was active.

Now the affected areas have turned into the burning forest. I hope there is no weirdness here.

Suddenly, I spotted group of people moving in one direction.

Seeing that I stopped my movement and landed on the ground. I know there is a route available to the lawless country. Still, it's best to get information from these group of people.

All of them are high level Wizards. In order to make sure, I started probing the target's details by using the System.

But the information shown on the panel surprised me greatly. Because these people are group of evil wizards. The lawless country said to be Haven for such wizards.

This time I can save lot of time. Then I started following them from behind.

It didn't take longer time for the group to figure out someone following them.

"Hey, who are you?"

"Why are you following us?" A scar faced Wizard asked.

"I'm not following you. I'm just going to the lawless country," I replied.

"Lawless Country!"

Hearing that people are stunned. There are 7 Wizards. Their journey is same as the lone Wizard.

Suddenly, these people looked at each other before making some decision. At this time, they regared lone Wizard as a fat sheep.

"Cough!"

"Since brother is going to the lawless country. You can join us in the travel. We are going to the same destination as well," the Scar faced Wizard added.

Hearing that I thanked him. But I sneered inside my heart. I'm not afraid of their attack. Before that I have to get information from them.

"Brother, welcome to our team!"

"What's your name?"

One by one the wicked wizards became enthusiastic.

"I'm Ethan, it's nice to join your team," I replied.

Hearing that People let down their guard. But few of them are wary. Because a level-7 Wizard in the team wasn't able to see through the lone Wizard Strength.

Which explains either strength or treasure in the lone Wizard. If it's first case, then they can only attack together to solve and divide the riches.

If it's the second case, the level-7 Evil Wizard is having second thoughts. But he kept things in his heart and didn't tell others.

But he was wrong on one things. Others have figured it out something as well.

"Where are you going brothers?" I asked.

Hearing that scar faced Wizard sneered but he recovered his expression.

"We are going to meet few other brothers who are waiting for us in the inner area. Then we will go to the lawless country," The Scar faced Wizard said.

"Oh," Hearing hat I let out a surprised expression.

If my guess is right, these people might take action against me in inner area. But I'm waiting for them.

On the way, I started gather information about the Burning Forest from them. When I heard that the Burning Forest have weirdness as well.

A hint of apprehension flashes in my eyes. But the concentration of the weirdness can be only found in the core area.

They can do all other activities in the inner area. Yet the inner area is as dangerous as the Silent Forest. Without sufficient knowledge of the plants and trees many people have died.

Only the veterans were able to survive. And these people seemed to have found route which leads to the lawless country as well.

The route passes through the core area but the route was no affected by the weirdness. At the same time, they have also started asking about me.

I replied with a pseudo name of mine. But there is a difference between these group of people and me. They are showing violent temperament. The other hand, I was calm. It might be the result of practising unstable evil mental methods.
