Great Capital

The Raymond Family was making a move. Head Douglas had sent people to investigate. They were inspecting the Black Sky Carrier.

Head Agnus Raymond was about to leave the estate. He was going to contact the killer organization located across the border.

Buzz!

Right then, his device buzzed. He picked up the device and saw the contact name. His pupils shrunk.

Because the caller was none other than his son, Raymond. He was stunned. The next second, he answered the call.

He heard his son’s voice.

A few minutes later,

He ended the call. A huge look of relief appeared on his face.

"So he was at the mountain range. No wonder the communication was cut off," Agnus muttered.

Then he thought of the old butler. His eyes filled with complex emotions. He then shook his head before appearing at the black carrier.

He looked at the Magic Lords from the governor’s office. His arrival caught their attention.

He then said, "My son has returned. He had gone to the mountain range for training."

Hearing that, the Magic Lords were taken aback. Then they thought it was acceptable. Who could capture the Young Master Raymond?

They felt it was absurd at the beginning. Then their assumptions turned out to be right. Young Master Raymond was safe.

Then they looked at each other before leaving the place.

Agnus watched them leave. Then he called for someone.

"Send someone to treat the butler and release him from the prison," he said to him.

It didn’t take long for the news to spread. The whole Raymond Family heaved a sigh of relief. They were really worried that something wrong had happened to Young Master Raymond.

But he was fine. The followers relaxed. They had been on edge earlier. They didn’t know which enemy had made a move. Now they thought it was unnecessary.

They should have had some patience to wait a much longer time.

Soon, the news reached the head of the government, Douglas. After hearing the news, he snorted. He knew this might be the case.

But Agnus had convinced him to look for his son. Now that he had returned, they didn’t have to waste time.

Douglas felt glad that the news didn’t get out. Otherwise, they would have become a laughingstock.

....

On the other hand, I stopped after crossing a few miles. Then I took the raven aircraft outside. I entered the cockpit and started operating it.

Swoosh!

The aircraft flew smoothly above the clouds. I turned on the stealth mode. The aircraft became transparent.

No one could sense the aircraft unless they were nearby. Then I entered the cabin and sat in the window seat.

Hereafter, I was not planning to make a stop. I had to reach the opal magic forest as soon as possible.

Days passed,

The aircraft crossed many terrains. But it didn’t face any dangers. I didn’t find a single monster or wizard nearby. It was a good sign.

That night, the aircraft reached difficult terrain. Not only that, but dark clouds had covered the sky. The terrain below was not suitable for the aircraft to land.

Seeing that, I stood up and entered the cockpit. Then I operated the aircraft to fly at a low altitude. I didn’t want to underestimate the drastic climate.

If any rainstorm appeared, the thunderclaps could really destroy the aircraft. I tried to fly the aircraft as low as possible.

Down below was nothing but the rainforest. The vegetation was dense and thick. Strangely, the place was not marked on the map.

To check, I took the map out. Then I unfolded the map and checked the terrain. I spotted the mountain range. I had long since crossed that place.

Following that, the land had other small nations and barren lands. The current place seemed to be a small forest. But while it was drawn, nothing was mentioned about it on the map.

After confirming that, I put away the map. Then I used the system to probe the ground below. The system didn’t find anything wrong.

So I continued to operate the raven aircraft.

Thunderclap!

Not long after, a thunderclap sounded. A heavy downpour of rain started to occur.

Seeing that, I was not surprised. The dark clouds were a sign of that.

All of a sudden, a purple lightning bolt struck next to the aircraft. It hit empty air. If the lightning bolt had struck the body of the raven aircraft, it would have destroyed it.

Seeing that, I flew the aircraft even lower. The bottom of the aircraft almost touched the tree branches.

I thought of putting away the aircraft and traveling using my flight ability. Then I decided to continue as long as I could.

The raven aircraft flew smoothly. The raindrops were hitting the frame of the aircraft.

Hiss!

Suddenly, a hissing sound was heard. At first, I thought it was some monster. There could be some snake monster in the forest.

I used the system’s probe function the next moment.

[Ding! The raindrops are toxic. They are eroding the frame of the aircraft.]

The system voice sounded in my mind. The next second, I put the aircraft inside the system space. At the same time, I appeared in the system space as well.

I looked around and saw the raven aircraft standing inside the blue grid. I appeared next to the aircraft and observed the metal frame. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

I saw signs of corrosion. The rainwater was toxic. It could really hurt the wizards. Then I collected my thoughts and went toward the Gregor Mansion.

The layer was removed. I saw the appearance of the mansion. I walked inside and came to the hall. I saw the Zero Puppet.

Then I entered the control room and quickly arrived in front of the control mirror. I saw the heavy downpour of rain was continuing.

I didn’t want to be drenched in the toxic rain. I decided to wait for morning. Then I exited the room and went back to the bedroom.

Time passed,

The rain stopped a few hours later.

The next morning,

I woke up. After looking around, I recalled the toxic downpour of rain earlier. After getting out of bed, I went to the control room.

Then I saw the sky was clear in the control mirror.
