Oberstein, Border Camp.
Today, a very special guest arrived at the camp, and Tyrion, the border commander, received them personally.
"Mr. Cole, I didn’t expect it to be you who came over. How has Magic Master Sifler been lately?" Tyrion greeted.
When Tyrion learned that it was Cole who came, he was indeed surprised.
He knew that the kingdom was likely to send a Caster over.
But he didn’t expect it to be Cole.
Sifler’s prized disciple.
Tyrion himself was from Sea Stone City, temporarily serving as the border commander at Oberstein.
He was very familiar with Sifler and well acquainted with Cole.
Seeing that Cole came to investigate the situation in the Lime Mountain Range, Tyrion’s heart was at ease.
As the border commander, his most important duty is to guard the safety and stability of the border.
The unclear situation in the Lime Mountain Range was putting a lot of pressure on Tyrion.
However, there weren’t any suitable candidates under his command to investigate the Lime Mountain Range, so he could only seek help from Sea Stone City.
Now that Cole was here, Tyrion breathed a sigh of relief.
Why, that’s Magic Master Sifler.
Since Cole has been sent over, it must be at Sifler’s behest.
This indicates that Sifler believes Cole can solve the problem here.
With this thought, Tyrion’s pressure was lifted considerably.
"The teacher has been well lately, though aged, he remains full of spirit." Cole smiled.
Tyrion nodded and said, "Magic Master Sifler is a venerable elder, having guarded the Royal City for many years. When I was a child, he taught me swordsmanship."
Tyrion smiled, recalling the story of when he was seven or eight, holding a wooden sword and encountering Sifler.
"Mr. Tyrion, what is the current situation over at the Lime Mountain Range?" Cole asked.
Tyrion seriously replied, "I have already designated it as a forbidden zone. Besides some adventurers, no one dares to approach it. Even the adventurers now dare not enter, only observing from the perimeter."
During this period, ordinary people certainly dare not go over.
Some adventurers still observe from the outskirts, hesitant to venture into the Lime Mountain Range, waiting to identify any anomalies before making any decisions.
Cole nodded and said, "I will depart tomorrow to investigate the situation."
Tyrion said, "Then I must trouble you, please be extra careful."
In Tyrion’s perspective, with Cole’s intervention, the resolution of this matter would not be far off.
The only worry was that Cole might encounter too much trouble.
Tyrion never considered that Cole would disappear like others once entering.
"Do you need any manpower to assist you?" Tyrion inquired.
Cole shook his head and said, "No need, having ordinary people accompany me is pointless, they won’t be of much help. Going alone is sufficient. Should danger arise, it’s easier for me to handle by myself."
Tyrion nodded, ceasing to insist on sending assistance.
Cole’s reasoning was straightforward, should he encounter danger in the Lime Mountain Range, it would be easier for him to flee alone.
If there were others with him, he would have additional worries, causing more trouble.
Cole rode out of the border on horseback, heading toward the Lime Mountain Range.
Along the way, he observed keenly, finding no suspicious traces.
Upon reaching the Lime Mountain Range, Cole did not hastily enter.
Instead, he dismounted at the mountain entrance, gazing towards the serene Lime Mountain Range.
The Lime Mountain Range was now in a quiet stillness, its foliage lush and verdant.
Cole took out a transparent crystal ball.
He placed the crystal ball in his hand, moving around with it.
In this world, there are many free energy particles scattered; they are unevenly distributed and constantly in movement.
If there is indeed a relic within the Lime Mountain Range, the area where it is located would certainly gather more energy particles.
By observing the flow and concentration of energy particles, the approximate location of the relic can be determined.
The crystal ball in Cole’s hand served a similar function, able to indicate the direction where energy particles were more densely distributed.
After observing the crystal ball for a while, Cole gazed into the depths of the Lime Mountain Range.
According to the crystal ball’s display, the concentration of energy particles was higher in that direction.
Gaining an understanding, Cole began to enter the Lime Mountain Range, advancing toward its depths.
As he moved through the forest, Cole remained vigilant in all directions.
Initially, Cole anticipated finding some relic entrances.
These relic entrances shouldn’t be too challenging to locate; otherwise, so many people couldn’t have entered the relics.
But on his way, Cole found no sign of any relic entrances.
This caused him to furrow his brows, "Could the entrance already be closed?"
The possibility concerned Cole, as a closed relic entrance would prove troublesome.
Many relic entrances are , their open and close times are unpredictable.
Due to long-neglected witch arrays, unstable witch arrays, such situations are not uncommon.
This is problematic; once a relic entrance closes, one never knows when it will reopen.
It could take days, or decades or centuries before it opens again.
Cole pondered for a while before continuing to explore ahead. Get full chapters from novel·fiɾe·net
He planned to locate the vestiges of the relic; once the location is confirmed, there would always be a way to reopen it.
Cole gradually delved deeper into the Lime Mountain Range, the concentration of energy particles ahead increasing as indicated by his crystal ball.
Herag noticed Cole entering the Lime Mountain Range and said sternly, "Reese, report back immediately, a Liquid Wizard level caster has entered the Lime Mountain Range. I’ll hold him off temporarily, but can’t guarantee I’ll stop him."
Herag and two others were on a patrol mission, with the task of identifying abnormal situations.
Importantly, they had to prevent any caster from approaching Base 27.
Cole’s present course was heading toward Base 27.
Herag didn’t have time to report back and return himself, for in such time Cole might get too close to Base 27, discovering its existence.
Herag had no choice but to send the comparatively agile Reese to report the information.
Leaving himself and David to intercept the advancing Cole.
Herag wasn’t worried about defeating Cole, rather it was being able to hold him.
Despite Cole’s Liquid Wizard stage aura, if he was determined to escape, Herag feared he couldn’t restrain him.
Parker’s order was that any entering the Lime Mountain Range must be held; they couldn’t be allowed to slip away.
"Understood, I’m heading out now." Reese, though hadn’t sensed Herag, knew Herag would never joke and swiftly acted to return to Base 27.
