62: C62 The Panic of the Belna Empire

C62 The Panic of the Belna Empire

While the Beastmen Tribes were busy enjoying the joy of victory, the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Bernard were overflowing with joy.2

A few days ago, the Royal Magic Research Institute of the Belna Empire was met with an unexpected attack.

A terrifying fire mysteriously appeared on top of the Mage Research Institute's teleportation nexus. The high temperature of 4000 degrees in an instant burned a few unlucky fellows to death.

The remaining few water mages used all their strength to extinguish the terrifying flames.

This sudden and unguarded attack made the Mage Research Association's president very angry, but at the same time, he was also very confused.

The teleportation nexus in the Mage Association had a specific location. Only by using a special teleportation scroll can the item be teleported back.

Those who were qualified to hold a teleportation scroll were all high-ranked archmages of the Belna Empire. Their loyalty and strength had all been acknowledged, so how could they deliberately use such malicious attacks to deal with their colleagues?

After that, the members of the Magic Research Institute investigated everything that had been transported back. Aside from the flames, there were also burnt black ashes and three crystals inside the teleportation formation.

Seeing this scene, the president of the Mage Research Institute couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

One had to know that these crystal balls used to record images were reinforced by magic, and fire could do almost no damage to them.

However, such a durable fire item had actually been melted.

From the looks of it, the charred remains of the fire were most likely mages who used teleportation scrolls.

Just what terrifying thing had he encountered that he would end up in such a sorry state?

The members of the Magic Research Council and the higher-ups of the Empire carried out an investigation together. Only after excluding most of the members did they finally confirm that this unlucky fellow was the only Great Mage Bell who couldn't be contacted.

But didn't this fellow go with Rudolf and Dewar to the Black Hills to explore the Beastmen's Kingdom?

The Beastmen were mostly people who relied solely on their physical strength to fight, and there were almost no Beastmen who could use magic.

Moreover, Bel was a Supreme Mage of the seventh step, only a step away from becoming a Magister of the eighth step. He also had rich battle experience, and Dewar Knights were by his side as well.

Just what did he discover in the Wildlands? How could he have met such a terrifying opponent?

Carrying these many doubts, the Bernard Magic Research Institute began to close in on the plan of restoring the crystal ball.

Since Bell had sent the crystal ball back, it must have recorded something useful, and could not let his sacrifice be in vain.

After a week of endless sleep, the Magic Research Council finally managed to restore a little of the image in the crystal ball.

On the screen was a tall and beautiful town, those houses and roads could not be reproduced even with the technology of the Belna Empire.

Although they did not want to admit it, the mages in the research institute could only accept it. The town in this image seemed to have a higher scientific civilization than the human empire did now.

The materials and construction they used were completely unheard-of, and the beauty and comfort seemed to be very good.

This seemed to be a new, advanced civilization that he had never seen before, but why would such a place exist in the Wilderness?
