Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 2223: Part 2: Back at the Outer Hall of the Mage Union

Outer Hall Mage Union

Both of us then reached the end of the corridor. It was an office room. The door opened automatically, and we entered.

After walking a few meters forward, we saw a wide, spacious living room. Just as I turned towards the left side, I saw a familiar woman sitting behind the desk.

The person was none other than Forbidden Wizard Evelyn. It had been a long time since I last saw her.

Lord Charlotte walked forward to the desk upon seeing her.

"I brought this kid here. You can issue a direct mission to him." After saying that, she sat on a chair.

I walked up to her and greeted her.

"Lord Evelyn, it’s good to see you back after a long time," I said to her.

Lord Evelyn smiled and gestured for me to take a seat first.

I sat on the chair and looked towards her. I could tell that she was observing me.

[Ding! The Forbidden Wizard is probing the host right now.]

I heard the system’s voice in my mind. I hoped she wouldn’t go deeper. But her probing was stopped midway. She had just done the initial probing.

Evelyn wanted to confirm my Magic Lord strength. She was shocked. She felt my foundation was extremely solid.

It was as if the young man was a veteran in the Magic Lord Rank.

She said, "Your foundation is solid. It’s not weaker than Magic Lord Celeste’s. I don’t know who is stronger between the two of you."

Hearing that, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. I thought she must have met with her. That woman had become an Outer Hall Member before me.

So, she must have done a similar probing on her. Lord Charlotte was watching us too.

"I heard you want to rescue the family of someone you know," she said.

"Yes," I replied.

"Good, you can go do that. But you have to accept an official mission from us. You are going to collect intelligence on the Ancient Mine Nation."

"If possible, try to collect intelligence on the resource points there."

"They are sitting on the relics of an old civilization. We have little ability to monitor that," she said to me.

Hearing that, I raised my eyebrows in surprise because it seemed like a nice offer to me.

"I can do that," I replied right away. I didn’t hesitate.

Evelyn smiled and looked towards Charlotte, who had a smile on her face as well.

"We knew you would say that. But the mission is going to be dangerous. The Ancient Mine Nation is supported by an unknown, hidden organization."

"We don’t have any information on them either. If you could collect intel on them, it would matter greatly. You already know of the Covenant."

"If another hidden organization emerges, then it could pose a serious threat to everyone," Evelyn said to me.

I was surprised inwardly. I had thought the Mage Union would have intel on them. To think even they didn’t have intelligence on them.

I began to rethink the threat level of the Ancient Mine Nation. So, Wizard Talia was right in her words. They were not afraid of the True Element Society.

To some extent, they were not worried about the Mage Union either.

"I will be careful," I said in a serious tone.

Thud!

Just then, the sound of footsteps was heard. I turned my head and looked towards the entrance. A female wizard with long white hair made an entry.

She was none other than Magic Lord Celeste. She came adorned in the typical Silver Tower White Uniform.

A storm set off in my heart. I didn’t expect her to appear here. I had thought she was doing an outside mission.

Forbidden Wizard Charlotte was surprised by her sudden presence here. Now she understood why Evelyn wanted us to be here.

Celeste saw me and met my gaze. She was giving off the vibe of a Magic Lord.

Though she controlled it, her presence made everyone feel it-especially me. I had the urge to use a whale deterrent, but I stopped myself from doing it.

Celeste then came forward and sat on the chair next to me. I could feel the power of a Magic Lord from her. I immediately picked up the difference.

She is stronger, I thought.

Celeste greeted Lord Charlotte by saying, "It’s good to see you, Lord Charlotte."

She then turned towards Lord Evelyn and said, "It’s good to be back here, Lord Evelyn."

Hearing that, both of them nodded towards her. She then turned towards one more person.

Celeste looked at me, and I nodded to her.

Then I turned towards Lord Evelyn.

"I’m sure you didn’t expect that. But this mission is a bit dangerous. I cannot send you alone. If you find yourself in trouble, we won’t be able to rescue you on time."

"Most of our strength is directed at finding the front-line teams of the Covenant Organization," Evelyn said to me.

Now I understood everything. If not for Celeste joining the mission, she wouldn’t have summoned me here.

"I have already briefed her about the mission. I believe you guys already have the necessary safety items. If not, you can request them now," she said.

Hearing that, I immediately thought of something important.

"I need magic resources to protect myself from mana corruption, negative mana pollution, and poison," I requested.

Evelyn nodded her head. Celeste, too, had a few things on her mind. She made a request as well.

"You guys can stay in the Silver Tower for now. The magic resources will be delivered to your place before nighttime. It’s up to you when you want to leave," she said.

"I will register both of your names on the official mission list," she added.

"Okay," I replied.

The conversation went on for a few minutes. Everyone spoke a little bit. We then returned to the Silver Tower shortly after.

After coming back to the lobby, I asked Lord Charlotte how a Magic Lord could enter the Outer Hall.

"Magic Lords can enter the Outer Hall of the Mage Union through teleportation platforms. But for security reasons, they were all deactivated."

"That’s why I used the deepest space layer to get inside. I had already left my mental imprint on the formation guarding the Outer Hall."

"So we can come in and go out easily," she explained to me.

Hearing that, my eyes flashed with understanding.
