Chapter 573 Part 1: System Update
Central Auction:
Gilbert Reese and Elder Galvin arrived at the spot. But when they saw the auction building, Both of their expressions changed drastically.
"I think we came a bit late," Elder Galvin said with a heavy expression on his face.
In front of them, the auction house building was in ruins. It was completely different from before. There was no sign of a majestic building.
Gilbert's eyes turned cold. But he saw something else. The City Lord's guards have surrounded the place.
Then both of them stepped down from the air. The appearance of both of them alarmed everyone.
Apart from the Captain and his team, no one was here right now. The people from the nearby shops vacated the place during the commotion.
The Captain was a tall middle-aged man. Looking at Elder Galvin, his expression changes drastically.
He is a level-7 wizard himself but he can't see through Elder Galvin. Which shows that he is a big man from the Yellow River Academy.
Both their attire and badge have exposed their identity.
The Captain stepped forward to greet them.
"What happened here?" Elder Galvin asked.
On the other hand, Gilbert Reese is looking for Vincent Carey. Both of their expressions are tense.
They came here rushing after hearing the news.
The Captain didn't hide anything. They had arrived late to the spot. But from the witness's account, it can be said that many rogue wizards had surrounded the place.
They must be the reason for the auction building destruction.
While they were having a conversation. Another person arrived at the spot. He is an old man with a white beard. He is the protector of the central auction house.
Looking at the destruction. He was completely pissed off. A wave of powerful mana is released from the body.
"Who did this?" He asked.
But the next second, the heavy coercion was canceled out by the Captain.
Everyone else recognized the person.
"Protector, you are too late," The Captain said.
Hearing that the protector got even more angry. But when he saw the attire of the two people standing beside the Captain.
His anger disappeared completely. The old man is a level-7 wizard. But he didn't know what a powerful existence like a level-8 wizard was doing here.
The Captain saw through his troubles. So he started to brief him as well.
...
From MC's perspective:
In the Gregor Mansion,
I immersed myself in absorbing unknown energy from the meteor rock. I forgot about the outside mayhem.
Slowly, the meteor rock lost luster in a few hours. I felt my magic power had undergone another massive change.
A few minutes later,
I opened my eyes. Looking down at the meteor rock. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. Now the meteor rock has lost its value.
I have absorbed all the energy in it. Then my gaze shifted to the Red Stone.
Then I took the object from the system space and held it in my hand.
I looked at the red stone in my hand. A row of information appeared before my eyes.
[Ding! The system update object detected]
[Name: Level1 Space Red Stone]
[Whether to upgrade the System or not: Y/N]
After reading the information, I calmed down my heart and said, "Yes."
Swoosh~
The red stone in my hand disappeared. It was absorbed by the system.
[Ding! System update under progress%]
[Time limit: 3 hours]
The mechanical voice sounded in my mind. Hearing that I sighed inwardly. The stone is working. Looking at the timing, I wasn't surprised.
But I'm expecting some big changes. My eyes flickered. Then I stood up from the ground and started walking towards the control room.
I don't know what else is happening outside. When I entered the control room to saw. Outside scenes appeared in the mirror.
I saw several wizards in their golden wizard coats. Seeing the attire, I immediately recognized it. They are guards from the government.
Then I saw a familiar face.
"Senior Gilbert," I uttered in surprise. What's even more amazing is that. He is standing behind a person.
From his attire, he is from the same academy. Then I looked at his badge. Which is similar to mine. A sudden realization struck my mind.
"Don't tell me he is the Elder Galvin who Senior Gilbert talked about," I said in my heart.
A look of longing appeared in my eyes. That person is a level-8 wizard. Probably from the council. To think he visited to save me.
A surprise appeared on my face. This person is also a Sub-Taboo Wizard. I wonder what his magic power is. Must be a Sub-Taboo Category.
A curiosity appeared in my heart. But I know it's not the time and place for an introduction. Then I saw an old man speaking respectfully to the elderly.
I don't know what happened during my absorption of the unknown energy. But I can tell that rogue wizards are nowhere to be seen.
They must have escaped. A faint smile appeared on my face. The next second, I wondered who could expose my whereabouts.
The smile disappeared. A cold glint flashes in my eyes. So many level-6 evil wizards had tried to kill me. This is no ordinary situation.
Someone must have instructed them. Suspicion of Bloodline Hal strongly rose in my heart. Apart from them, I can't think of anyone else at this time. But it can't be helped.
Even my seniors and elders seem to be helpless in this matter. Then I recalled Senior Gilbert's words a few days ago. He had told me that if I complete the trial, I will be eligible to enter the inheritance place.
A hint of clarity appeared in my eyes. Right now, the most important thing is to complete the Trial and get that inheritance.
When it comes to revenge. I can do it later. After calming down my heart, I waited for the system to complete the update.
3 hours later,
A mechanical voice sounded in my mind.
[Ding! System Update Complete.]
[New Function: Host can modify the status information.]
[No existence can see the host's level without permission.]
System update information came.
