Chapter 59 The Wilderness

The carriage swayed and lurched away from the gate. As the sounds gradually faded into the distance, Maginos, who was hiding in the wooden barrel, loosened her grip on the hilt of her sword and raised a hand to her face.

After an unknown amount of time, the increasingly bumpy road indicated that they had left the city gate. When the carriage stopped, someone knocked on the wooden barrels containing the people one by one: "Get off quickly, you can leave on your own now."

The young girl lifted the lid of the tub, picked up her belongings, and climbed out. She gazed silently at the distant city wall. A dancer emerged from the carriage behind her and spoke to her about something very important:

"My lovely lady~, my master told me to tell you that you have one hour to escape. After one hour, the prophecy mage will be able to predict your location again~."

Without responding to the dancers behind her, Maginos stood motionless, mourning her deceased loved ones in her heart, her sorrow unable to break through the soil of despair.

The carriage and the smugglers soon left, leaving her alone.

The girl closed her eyes, and images of her brother's death and the heads of her parents and others floating in the air flashed through her mind. Then, images of Susan, Inser, Ebes, and other enemies she had seen appeared in her mind.

Having escaped her home, where can she go next?

In any case, the escape had to begin.

The remembrance lasted only five minutes. With a calm expression, Maginot turned and walked into the jungle, a map in her mind so she could determine where she should go.

As she marked the cities on the map, she unconsciously recalled those two very strange figures from her dream, belonging to White Dove City and Riverflow City. She paused in the jungle for a moment before heading towards Riverflow City, one of the transportation hubs.

That area is a large city, and besides that suspicious black market woman, I might be able to find clues about some small psychic organizations within the city.

There aren't many psionicists on the continent of Konoil, and very few in the Kingdom of Nesery, so it's impossible for them to form a large organization.

……

An hour after Maginus left, the prophetic mage who couldn't pinpoint her location casually performed another divination. Several people who were doing divination at the same time stared blankly at the glowing crystal ball in front of them. After realizing what was happening, they immediately rushed out of their rooms to report to their superiors.

“Magnus has left the capital and is completely out of their range of detection. There is really no way to find out where she is now.”

Upon learning this news, Inser caused another uproar, while Susan had a complicated expression. At this time, the wanted poster for Maginus was also sent out from the city, and it was expected to circulate among various towns soon.

About three days after Maginus left, the allied forces in the capital gathered outside the city, and only Ebes's army remained inside. According to the original plan, Ebes would take control of the city.

The regrouped allied forces began their retreat, having purged the Imperius royal family and acquired enough territory and population from the Kingdom of Nesery. The various nations, now well-fed, prepared to disband the allied forces.

Among the retreating army, Susan, who had left with Whitnet, glanced back at the capital, her gaze fixed on the Kingdom of Nizmore, her eyes filled with anticipation and joy.

She was about to see her mother, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and the guilt and unease in her heart were quickly suppressed by positive emotions.

And those who had bullied her and her mother...

Susan gripped the hilt of her sword, her killing intent concealed. Whitney sensed something, chuckled softly, and said nothing.

Five days later.

Maginot, who had strayed from the main army's route, was now traversing the mountains and forests alone. By concealing her life force, she avoided being entangled by snakes, insects, and rodents. The dry rations in her pack were also the kind that were dry and difficult to swallow, so she didn't have to worry about them spoiling.

She didn't encounter any danger during those five days. At night, the howling of wolves often echoed in the distance, so she usually slept in the trees. As for monsters, the girl didn't encounter any either.

But today, she finally encountered danger.

Sunlight filtered through the foliage, and a slightly thirsty Maginus reached out to touch the corners of his mouth, which were cracked from dryness. He shook the leather bag; the clean water inside was almost gone.

With various methods of fetching water in mind, she suddenly pricked up her ears, her calm expression betraying the faint sound of a river in the distance.

She opened the leather bag, drank the last bit of water, and walked towards the direction of the stream. Through a gap in the trees, she saw a small stream appear before her.

There should be many animals where there is water.

She walked forward cautiously. The girl was not a knight-errant and was not very good at running and jumping in the woods. All she could do was be careful.

As she approached the water, some of the grass rustled as Maginos passed by, and several rabbits fled from her side. She gradually began to see what was happening by the river.

At least for now, there aren't any ferocious predators lurking near the river, but they could be hiding in the woods.

She hesitated for a moment, then decided to wait for the large herd of animals to appear.

About three or four hours later, the sun gradually rose overhead, and as the air became increasingly humid and hot, the animal herd she was waiting for finally arrived.

A large group of monkeys leaped out of the forest and quickly came to the river to drink and play. After waiting for about three or four minutes, Maginus, who was about to go out, was met by some deer. They did not fight but split into two areas to drink.

Seeing this, the girl carefully swam towards them, concealing her life force as she emerged from the dense jungle. The animals drinking water showed wary expressions upon seeing her; the deep memories humans left on them were like those of carnivores.

Maginos came to the river and, regardless of whether the water was clean or not, bent down and drank the river water. She could even feel a very faint life force being transported from her stomach to all parts of her body.

Based on this, she shouldn't need to worry about ordinary parasites in the future; they would probably be eliminated by her powerful decomposition ability as soon as they entered her body.

Sensing the changes in her body, Maginos realized that she could not tolerate any more water and that continuing to drink would lead to water intoxication. She took out her leather bag, filled it with some water, jumped over the stones that appeared on the surface of the water to reach the other side, and began to move towards Riverbust City.

Just then, a sense of danger enveloped the girl, and she almost instantly gripped the hilt of the sword behind her.

She drew her protector and looked into the dark woods. More than a dozen gray wolves rushed out and headed straight for the deer and monkeys. Alone, she was attacked from both sides by two gray wolves!

One update today

Chapter 60 Searching for the Psionic Organization

The sudden appearance of the wolf pack caused great chaos to the two groups drinking water by the river, and they fled in different directions in a panic.

The gray wolves, pouncing on the deer and monkeys, achieved significant success in their first attack, knocking down many of their prey.

In this situation, the two gray wolves slowly circled around Maginus, seemingly unwilling to let her go.

Even though there were prey pieces much larger than her right next to her, these two wolves still chose to target her...

Maginos gripped her magic longsword, moving the blade with her wrist. Instead of waiting for the gray wolf to attack, she decided to strike first.

The sunlight, deliberately guided by the girl, was reflected off the sword and into the eyes of the gray wolf behind her. The blinding light caused the wolf to howl and close its eyes.

As the howl rang out, Maginus moved, dust billowing from the ground beneath her feet. Her magic longsword rested at her shoulder, ready to be unleashed at any moment.

The gray wolf she had targeted spread its limbs slightly apart, bent its legs and exerted force. Instead of running away, the bloodthirsty beast pounced on the girl and opened its mouth to bite her head!

Blood splattered as the magic sword sliced ​​smoothly across the gray wolf's body, slicing off its entire head except for the lower jaw, starting from its gaping maw!

The blood that had spilled out everywhere turned into a red mist and flowed into Maginos's body. She did not stop because of this, and when she noticed the movement of the gray wolf behind her, she took advantage of the situation to turn around and hold her longsword upright in front of her chest as a block.

"Ow!"

The wolf's sharp teeth clamped down on the blade, but the immense force of its bite didn't leave any mark on the weapon; instead, the wolf's own mouth was "bitten" by itself.

With only a few bits of skin and flesh connecting the wolf's mouth, Maginus seized the opportunity to raise his longsword above his head and slash fiercely at the exposed neck of the gray wolf as it turned its head.

Her head fell to the ground. The girl glanced at the wolf pack still hunting out of the corner of her eye. Before she could finish absorbing the gray wolf's life force, she rushed into the forest.

Several gray wolves that were relatively close to the scene originally wanted to chase after the fleeing girl, but after looking at the food at their feet, they quickly gave up the idea of ​​pursuing her.

The dead gray wolves were not worth abandoning their prey for revenge.

……

Maginot ran incredibly fast, and her fighting spirit and murderous intent did not affect her judgment of the situation. In order to ensure her survival, she quickly suppressed the emotions rising in her heart.

After getting away from the river, the girl patted her tense muscles to relax them and exhaled slightly, feeling the overflowing vitality in her body.

The two wolves had nearly exhausted the extra life force she could store, and she didn't know if her extra life force would increase as her psionic energy improved...

Contemplating psionic powers on the road, Maginus sheathed her protector and pushed through the weeds toward Riverbushes.

Two days later.

Weary and dusty, Maginot stood in the streets of Riverbust, following the crowd, her eyes constantly scanning the area so she could memorize the city map and make a quick getaway.

She easily entered the city. The defenses here weren't too strong. The few soldiers at the city gate collected the "toll" without even glancing at the hooded girl, waving her over so the next person could pay.

Where should we go next...?

The girl, who had been wandering around familiarizing herself with the terrain, suddenly stopped, her gaze fixed on the luxurious building in front of her. The sign at the top indicated the building's origin.

The Mage Guild's branch in Heman City.

As far as Maginus knew, this place wasn't just for mages; some adventurers could also enter the guild to find corresponding quests, and those in trouble could pay money to ask spellcasters for help.

I wonder if there's any information about psionic organizations here.

Maginos stepped into the building with its open doors, where smooth marble floors, magical lamps filled the room, and crystal screens on the walls constantly updated information...

If someone with limited knowledge saw this scene, they might think they had entered another world. The girl calmly entered and glanced at the large stone slab placed at the entrance.

To hire a mage, go to the left; for alchemy, enchanting, and other miscellaneous tasks, go to the front; to inquire about some confidential information, go to the right.

Maginus walked straight to the right, where a seemingly idle mage was sitting at the front desk, playing chess against himself with the Mage Hand.

The girl tapped lightly on the table to attract the mage's attention. Without concealing her intentions, she asked, "Do you have any information about the psionic organizations in the city?"

Psionic organization?

The mage at the front desk glanced at Maginus, his eyes showing a hint of curiosity but he didn't ask any further questions. He simply asked her to wait a moment and then placed his hand on his temple.

"Does anyone know anything about the psionic organization, or if they're in the city?"

A small sound transmission array appeared in the mage's ear. He asked the mage on the other side, and the girl keenly sensed that this array seemed to be connected to many sound transmission spells, so that a single sentence could be heard by many people.

Not long after, the magic circle in the front desk mage's ear reappeared. He pointed to the corridor behind him, looked up at Maginos, and said:

"Room number 5, the information you need is there. As for the reward, the mage will tell you."

The girl walked down the corridor, pushed open the door to room number five, and saw a female mage carefully applying a magical potion to her nails. Hearing the door open, she said:

"Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

After she finished painting her index fingernail, she finally focused her gaze on Maginot, and spread her hands in a gesture as if asking for money:

"The information about the psionic organization costs two gold coins, and I will tell you its location directly."

Without hesitation, the girl placed the two gold coins in the mage's hand. The female mage glanced at the girl's jade-like and slender hands, clenched the gold coins, put them into her dimensional bag, and began to explain to her the psychic organization, the Psychic Mutual Aid Society, in the city.

It was a small organization with about a dozen members, all of whom were psionicists. The members varied in strength, with the strongest about to break through to the intermediate level and having a great reputation in the upper echelons of Riverman City.

As for the remaining few, they were just small fry, not very strong. A dozen or so warriors who had just learned the "Tidal Wave" technique could easily take them out.

Do they offer methods of cultivating psychic powers over there?

The girl didn't ask the question aloud. After learning the location of the mutual aid society, she nodded to the female mage, opened the door, and walked from the room to the street outside the mage guild.

Recalling the location she had mentioned, Maginus first went to the hotel to reserve a room for the night, and then went to the mutual aid society.

Chapter 61 Psychic Mutual Aid Society

The reason Maginus was in such a hurry to find a psychic support group was because she wanted to obtain training methods related to psychic powers as soon as possible.

Even now, she can't be considered a professional; at most, she can only control psionic energy. Without a systematic way to improve her strength, she can't be considered a professional.

Following the female mage's instructions, Maginus wandered through the streets, turning left and right until she found herself in a secluded corner. There, she saw the crooked sign for the Psionic Mutual Aid Society and then looked at the equally dilapidated gate in front of her.

Instead of pushing the door open, she knocked on it and called out, "Is anyone home?"

Footsteps soon came from inside the door, and as the door was pulled open, a melancholy-looking boy appeared before Maginus. He looked at the girl warily and asked:

What are you here for?

"This group [Liu Ling.IIIIV Ba Ba Si] is the Psionic Mutual Aid Association, right? My name is... Walker, and I'm here to find ways to improve myself."

Maginos raised her right hand to the boy, on which a slip of paper was placed. As she concentrated, the slip of paper slowly floated up in front of the boy.

Upon seeing this, the boy's eyes widened, and he said into the house, "Uncle Oren, another psionicist has come knocking!"

The room was immediately filled with a clattering sound because of his news. Before long, the girl saw the psionicist known as Uncle Oren. With his full beard and unkempt appearance, it was hard to believe that he was him.

When their eyes met those of the unkempt Oren, Maginus looked at him without flinching, then bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Oren."

"...Anyway, please come in first, and we can talk about it slowly."

The man with black hair and yellow eyes, dressed in tattered clothes, scratched his head and asked the boy to open the door a little so that Maginus could come in smoothly.

……

Once inside, Maginus got a clear view of the entire house.

Compared to Oren's unkempt appearance, the house was surprisingly tidy, clean, and bright. Several young people and a few children about the same age as the girls stood in the spacious house, each with something floating in their hands.

They were clearly using psychic powers to manipulate objects, probably for training purposes.

“Please have a seat, Will, and pour a cup of tea for Miss Walker.”

Oren pulled up a chair for Maginus to sit down, and gestured to the little boy who had followed her in to pour her a cup of tea.

Once the girl was settled, he looked at her and asked, "Miss Walker, since you've come to me for help training your psionic abilities, I have to ask you a few questions first. I hope you don't mind."

Maginus nodded, indicating that she would cooperate. Oren scratched his head and asked, "Where are you from?"

“I come from White Dove City, and I am the eldest daughter of a family there.”
