Chapter 1495 Travel
After leaving the Corvin's branch headquarters, Emery quickly made his return to the inn he was staying at. Entering his room, he sat down on the bed before taking out and inspecting the vial of blood he had received from the Alpha King today.
[Mythical Wolf Blood Elixir]
From the information that came from the cube, this elixir was comparable to a Tier 5 potion, which was two levels higher than the [Legendary Blood Elixir] that he had received from Zodiac City six years ago. On top of the fact it was a Mythical blood, it was also specific to a wolf half-blood – a tremendous boon for Emery.
However, in comparison to his [Fey Booster], although it was only comparable to Tier 4, the effect was much more potent on him due it being a specific serum for his Fey genes. Therefore, even though he was still hopeful, Emery reckoned this new elixir would give him no better effect than the booster he had.
In the end, after giving it some thought, he decided to save the elixir for now and consumed one of his boosters instead.
The moment he felt the serum began to take effect in his body, Emery closed his eyes and returned to the [Memory Puzzle], browsing through and refreshing the memories he had acquired today.
He went on another journey, through all the memories he had received in the last 24 hours. From the memories of his Fey pack on Earth, the memory of the Rave, to then the memory of the Magus Academy's wolf pack.
Emery could feel that all complete memories related to the Wolf bloodline had returned to him, which was certainly a great relief for him.
It was at this moment that Emery was startled to suddenly hear a soft whispering female voice calling his name.
"Emery… Emery…"
It was the same voice he heard on the streets of Silvermane city before. Morgana, it's her voice.
He wondered if it was an illusion or something else. As he was unable to speak to her back no matter what he tried. He thought it must have been his memory playing a trick on him.
Moments later Emery was interrupted by a series of knocks on the door. Before he could respond, the door slammed open and Annara sauntered into the room.
"You are back faster than expected." Staring at him, the red-haired girl had a smirk on her face, "Were you not satisfied with the girl?"
Unperturbed by her attempt at teasing him, Emery told her about what really happened and that now he had eyes and ears in the Corvin faction. When Annara found out Emery left the brown-haired girl, she clicked her tongue and said, "That's a smart move… I'm impressed."
Looking at him out of the corner of her eye, she quickly added, "You're still a pig though… for leaving her like that. What a poor girl…"
Staring at her, Emery calmly said, "I'll definitely get her out of that place, just not now. We need to know more about the Corvin faction."
"Alright, alright. Enough about your revenge." the red-haired girl said, waving her hands. "Tell me your plan for the event, or to be exact, how to obtain the Ancient Wolf-Blood. Remember, that's why we are here in the first place."
In the end, the reason Annara had come to this place was because of the Ouroboros Queen and her main objective was to save Silva, not Emery's personal revenge.
Taking out the [Mythical Wolf Blood Elixir], Emery gave the small vial to Annara saying, "Our time is limited. You first take that to Bob for analysis. Hopefully, it can further help his research somehow. If not, I wonder if he could synthesize similar things like this."
Instead of consuming it, Emey was hoping for a booster that might help his future pack instead, after all his fey booster was only useful for him.
Although it was quite a big request, Emery was not finished as he added, "I also need you to ask the Ouroboros to find the whereabouts of the members of the White Fang Clan."
When he recalled how Ouroboros had a history with White Fang, Emery hoped they would be able to find them easily. Hopefully, the White Fang could become the solution to his dilemma in the Royal Hunt.
"If I'm going, then what about you?" the red-haired girl asked immediately. "Are you going to spend more time in the Red Pagoda?"
"Let it go, will you?" Emery replied, exasperation evident in his voice. "Enough with the teasing and just focus on your task."
Raising her hands into the air, she shrugged while saying, "Alright, so serious now, aren't you? Perhaps I indeed do like the old you better... Anyway, just be careful! I'd hate to come back and find your ass in need of saving again."
First thing in the morning she went back to their spaceship and left the planet. Emery, on the other hand, went to a place on the outskirts of the city called the Wolf Den. Upon arriving, he saw it was a ranch of some sort where dozens of huge wolves could be seen congregating.
Due to its status as one of the premier places on this planet, coupled with the fact those outside of Silvermane City had minimal to no knowledge of the Magus Universe, any kind of flight was prohibited. Thus domesticated animals, mostly wolves, became the planet's main local mode of transportation.
Emery picked one of the fastest wolves as his mount, which cost him ten thousand spirit stones and, following the information given by Tatyana, he made his way out of the Silvermane City area and headed south.
The journey he went on was particularly windy, through the dense forests and undulating mountains and hills. The wolves ran about 80 miles an hour, it was a decent speed, almost the same as the speed of a standard orbiter, but the trees and other obstacles made it run slower.
Emery actually enjoyed the scenery. After being under the watchful eye of the Ouroboros, being able to run free through the forest was quite relaxing for him. Every dozen or so miles, Emery would encounter an outpost or town, and the farther he was from Silvermane City, the less sophisticated the scenery became.
What welcomed him after was an area where all kinds of wild creatures roamed freely. Though most couldn't cause him any trouble, there were still a few who were fast enough or aggressive enough to block his path.
"Good, some light exercise will be good for me!"
He would stop occasionally and fight worthy opponents, mostly magical creatures and collect their corpses and spirit stones. He might as well collect enough to return the Ouroboros' money he used.
When the sun set on the far horizon bathing the sky in purple and orange hues, Emery had traveled nearly one thousand miles. His attention was suddenly piqued by something. Stopping in his tracks, his gaze was fixated on one part of the forest area in front of him that was engulfed in bright light.
He watched as the blazing flames danced freely amongst the canopy of leaves as his ears picked up the snarls and yells of a fight. Curious as to what was going on, he decided to check it out. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝐥．𝗰𝗼𝐦
As he drew closer to the commotion, Emery could see a group of wolf half-bloods, roughly twenty people in total, surrounding and attacking what appeared to be a large, red-furred bear.
[Mutated Crimsonback Bear]
[Magical Beast - level 90]
[Battle power - 210]
Emery raised his eyebrows when he saw it was a high-ranking creature, which shouldn't be difficult for him to deal with. However, the same couldn't be said of the group surrounding the creature as most of them didn't seem to even be saint level.
With the help of the system on his bracelet, information about those people swiftly appeared in his mind.
[Earth realm wolf half-blood - 16]
[Sky realm wolf half blood - 3]
[Saint realm wolf half blood - 1]
It was a classification of strength generally used by the Magus Universe and in a matter of seconds, Emery found out the details of the group's strength. The Earth realm's battle power was in the fifties on average, all of the Sky realm close to a hundred, whereas the Saint realm was the only one who had crossed the hundred mark in battle power.
They were all clad in leather clothing that offered minimal protection and was equipped with primitive weapons; swords, spears, and bows that were engulfed in flames to sacred the beast.
Even with a glance, such a group would not be able to defeat a high-ranking magical creature they were currently facing. However, Emery remained where he was when he saw how they had managed to force the Mutated Crimsonback Bear into a corner through sheer teamwork.
"Impressive… but, i wonder how many of them would survive such a fight."
