Chapter 474 Leaving The No Man’s Land
From MC's Perspective:
Days passed,
I have not only stayed in the Gregor mansion. But I went to the dark forest from time to time in search of resources.
But unfortunately, no one seemed to have walked out of the dark forest other than me. Right after, I came across the female wizard and her maid.
I saw them first, using this opportunity. I hid inside the Gregor Mansion. From eavesdropping on their conversation. I have managed to collect crucial information.
The lady in white seems to be a wizard heir from the wizard family. And the maid of hers is also a strong level-6 wizard.
I wanted to probe their details by using the system. But last time the lady in white had found me quickly. Her magic seems to be mysterious.
So I don't want to take any chances. It had taken me a great deal of effort to escape from the unknown wizards. I'm not planning on drawing more attractions.
From their conversation, I can tell that they have decided to hide in the dark forest until the turmoil is over. But a strange glint flashes in my eyes.
The current location is not far away from the border. Don't know why? They seem to have entered No Man's Land as well.
Because some of their conversations included the environment of No Man's Land. Then I made up my mind to stay away from them as much as possible.
When the duo disappeared. Then I appeared outside and walked back to the digging site in No Man's Land.
Days passed,
The conflict between the Silver Family and the Brown family comes to an end after heavy losses occurred on both sides.
The Tolu Academy comes to the limelight. As the power struggle between the three forces became equal. Hereafter there will be a three-way confrontation in the future.
But right now the country has regained peace once again. As the days passed, the second-rate and third-rate wizard families called back their descendants from various parts of their country.
Nobody knows that the Silver Family had succeeded in luring many wizard families into joining their camps. Most of the families are once affiliated with the Brown Family.
Thanks to the abduction of wizard family heirs. The Silver House somehow managed to control its losses. It will be a matter of a few years before they regain their strength.
Similarly, the Oslen family called back Linda Oslen. Right after getting the secret information. Linda Olsen and her maid walked out of the dark forest and started their trip back to their family.
Meanwhile,
The Yellow River Academy has called back their level-7 wizard Julius Lobb. Despite the Bloodline Hall and the Elemental Hall's several attempts.
They weren't able to stop the academy's official order in the end. So having no other choice Julius Lobb left, leaving behind the team. Strangely, the academy orders didn't mention the investigation team.
They have only asked for Julius Lobb's return. Not the entire team. Which is enough to show the politics behind this.
Days passed in a blink of an eye,
Finally, it was a week before the month's end.
No Man's Land,
After calculating the day and time, I started my return journey back to the academy. In a few hours, I entered the black forest again. But this time, I didn't slow down my speed.
Since I have recorded the route in my mind. The return journey becomes almost easy. Without worrying about the traps, I easily walked through the forest.
The following day,
After crossing several miles, without taking a rest at night. I have successfully walked out of the forest.
Feeling the different environment. My mouth curved into an arc. I feel like being released from long isolation. Then my gaze turned toward the east direction.
Where the large airship landing platform is built. I don't know whether the service is still active today. A trace of doubt appeared in my eyes.
Shaking my head, I hurried in that direction. After a few minutes, I found human activities near the platform. Which brought me a huge sigh of relief.
"These guys are probably laborers hired by the wizard family," I muttered to myself. Their strength might not be great.
But they are helpful when it comes to the maintenance work. Last time, I didn't have time to take a good look at them.
I was chased by them. Then pushing down these thoughts. I started to look for customers. It's been so long. I don't know the outside world news.
Don't know whether the internal conflict was settled or not. When I was wondering. Suddenly, I found an evil gaze on me. When I turned around, I saw a group of three people looking at me.
"They are not laborers," I mumbled under my breath.
Then I saw these people coming toward me. A quick glint flashes in my eyes. Compared to the low-level laborers. These guys are level-4 wizards.
So I didn't get flustered, rather I'm glad. I was hoping to get outside information. These people might know what's happening outside.
Also, my disguise is weakening lately. It won't be long before my original appearance will return.
"Hey, who are you?"
"We three brothers have been waiting for the airship to arrive. But we don't see any other customers here."
"So you are the first one here apart from us."
The three middle-aged men said one by one. But my eyes flickered with a slight glint. As I guessed before, the place has fewer people compared to before.
After calming down my heart, I didn't show any facial reactions.
"Esteemed Sir,"
"My master asked me to come back. Last time we didn't have enough tickets. So I was left behind," I lied to them.
Greed flashed in three of their eyes. Three of them are rogue wizards. A month ago, using the turmoil in the capital.
The trio settled down in the dark forest. They knew wizard heirs were moving to the place. So they started living by killing and looting other rogue wizards.
So far three of them managed to survive in this place. But lately due to the absence of wizards in this place. They didn't have any resources.
But now after hearing from the person. They knew how to collect the resources from the fat ship. A weak wizard without their master around is no less than a rogue wizard.
Three of them couldn't sense any fluctuations from him. So mistakenly assumed to be a weaker wizard.
Among the three, the middle one stepped forward.
"Glad to know. But why are you standing alone?"
"Why don't you join our three brothers?"
"We will travel together."
Hearing the words from the middle-aged man. I sneered inside. I'm sure some of them are thinking about luring me away and then silencing me.
But to their disappointment. I have already marked them. It's been several days since I practiced. I'm sure three of them have mana stones with them.
So the next moment, I had a bright smile on my face.
"I'm pleased to meet you guys here. But I don't know when the airship will arrive," I asked.
The three rogue warriors looked at each other. They seem to convey some message through their eyes.
The middle one answered this time, "The airship is coming tomorrow. Why don't you come to our shed and take a rest until then?" He said like offering help.
"If you guys have no problem, then I'll come with you," I replied with an innocent smile on my face.
I also need an isolated place to silence them. Then four of us looked at each other and smiled.
Three of them started guiding them back to their place. Seeing that my eyes grew cold. This is going to be their last day.
Then I turned my attention to the status panel.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

The status panel appeared in front of my eyes. I started observing the information. Even though I had not practiced in these last few weeks. But I was able to find some resources in the dark forest.
Because of it, my attributes have touched the limit. But my core progression and soul power gave me a headache.
