Chapter 2222: Part 1: Back at the Outer Hall of the Mage Union
Outside Territory
A few hours later,
I was spending time reading books that I had collected during my journeys. Just then, my device buzzed. I picked it up and saw the contact name.
Manager Lara was calling. I answered the call.
"Vincent, you need to return to the Silver Tower right now. The Outer Hall Office of the Mage Union has summoned you," Manager Lara said.
Hearing that, my eyes flashed with anger. I thought I shouldn’t have done the reporting. Now I figured they were going to send me on another mission.
"Alright, I’m coming back," I replied before ending the call.
Swoosh!
I touched the space layer before me. A small space rift appeared. I stepped inside the hole. The next moment, I disappeared from the spot.
When I appeared, I was already close to the border town. I flew directly across the border. The powerful presences were disturbed.
But when they saw my white mask, they withdrew their mental power. They knew it was me who had returned.
Swoosh!
I continued to fly across the area. I didn’t use the power of the space layer; my natural flight speed was fast enough.
In a few hours, I returned to the crystal city. I entered my residence silently. I sent the zero puppet to collect information from outside.
Meanwhile, I made a call to Manager Lara. When she answered, I spoke.
"Manager Lara, I’m back at my residence now. I will leave shortly for the Magic City. Now tell me, what are they going to do?"
"I’m sure Lord Charlotte must have hinted something to you," I asked.
"It’s actually good news for you, so you don’t have to be afraid," Lara said.
Hearing that, I was puzzled. But I thought everything would be clear once I reached the Silver Tower.
"Alright." After saying that, I ended the call.
Then I put away the device. Next, I began to wait for the zero puppet to return. I gave the puppet ten minutes.
When the puppet returned, it shared some interesting news with me. The members had all left, including the pet monsters.
The zero puppet also shared that an intense crowd had gathered earlier, but Elder Blake had controlled the situation.
I listened to everything before putting the zero puppet inside the Gregor Mansion. Then I didn’t wait any further. I left for the Magic City.
Time went by.
Before nightfall, I came back to the Magic City. I went straight towards the wizard tower area. I didn’t hide my whereabouts.
Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, I arrived at the Silver Tower. I landed on the ground and walked towards the gate.
I used my badge before going inside. Then I arrived at the door, opened it, and stepped into the lobby.
I immediately called for Manager Lara right away. I hadn’t taken much of a break during the return journey.
My Magic Lord-level strength made the travel easy. I could travel for long distances.
Thud!
Lara came with hurried footsteps. Upon seeing Vincent’s face, she sighed in relief. She then made a call to Lord Charlotte.
I saw her actions and didn’t stop her. Now that the Mage Union had summoned me, I didn’t know how to say no to the mission.
I had done all the missions given to me. I never rejected missions from the Silver Tower or missions issued by seniors like Elder Charlotte and Erwin.
I had completed the missions given by Elder Dana as well. Since it was going to be my first mission at the Outer Hall of the Mage Union, I didn’t want to reject it.
Lara reported to Lord Charlotte that Magic Lord Vincent had made it back to the Silver Tower.
She then ended the call before turning towards me.
"You came back faster than I had thought," she said in surprise.
"I’m surprised by the strength of a Magic Lord. It makes travel easy," I said jokingly to her.
"Don’t worry, no one is going to stop you from rescuing someone. It’s just that I thought you should get the full information from Lord Charlotte herself," she said.
Hearing that, I nodded to her. I had already given my word to Wizard Talia. I could not break the promise.
Shortly afterwards,
Someone made an appearance. The person was none other than Forbidden Wizard Charlotte.
She came right into the lobby and sat on the sofa there. She looked at both of us before looking at Vincent.
"I thought you would take a break after rescuing Lord Erwin, but once again, you are going to do something dangerous," she said in a serious tone.
Lara was standing there. I didn’t know how to respond.
But then I said, "I’m going to do the rescue. I’m not going to interfere in the politics there. Just like I rescued Lord Erwin from the Covenant, I’m going to repeat the same."
Hearing that, both Lara and Charlotte exchanged looks.
Charlotte said, "I don’t know whether you are being clueless or confident."
"Come with me. Let me take you to the Outer Hall of the Mage Union. There is someone who wants to meet you," Charlotte added.
Hearing that, I nodded to her. Then we exited the Silver Tower. We stepped outside to stand in front of the tower.
Boom!
She then opened a rift. A space rift appeared. We both stepped inside the hole. The next second, we vanished from the spot.
When we appeared again on the ground, we stood in front of a big white castle building. I looked around the place.
It was a different place than the one I had last visited. It was not the large meeting hall building. We were standing on empty ground surrounded by buildings.
Charlotte was standing next to Vincent Carey. She saw through his thoughts.
She said, "It’s an Outer Hall Office. Many wizards work here. I’ll take you to the Elder’s office."
After saying that, she guided me inside the building. We then started walking down the hallways. I curiously checked out the place.
There were beautiful paintings hanging on the walls of the corridor. They included the figures of important wizards. Maybe they were important figures of the Mage Union.
