Chapter 598 - 598 598 Heading to Elf Territory

598: Chapter 598: Heading to Elf Territory 598: Chapter 598: Heading to Elf Territory Jeana took the little princess out to play while Zhao Guang returned to his original research work.

Since Caris had mentioned that the threat of the Undead Great Mage in the North prevented Zhao Guang from leaving, he continued to hold his post here so he didn’t need to meet the King in the Imperial City.

His last promotion in rank occurred for the same reason, sparing him a trip.

These Undead Mages really were a blessing — running back and forth was such a waste of time.

The road from his territory to the Imperial City had no chance of being built; many lords lay between.

Without a good road, making the journey was not easy.

Although the Empire was already working on this road, it clearly couldn’t be completed anytime soon.

Most of the cement made by the Empire was being used to reinforce the walls of the Imperial City.

Focusing on reinforcing the Imperial City instead of attending to the borders, their priorities baffled him.

As time passed, Zhao Guang didn’t care that the little princess was always in his territory and hadn’t returned home, as long as she wasn’t in danger.

At the moment, Zhao Guang was smiling while holding his blueprints.

“Finally finished, I can now truly live up to the title of a Great Mage.”

Indeed, he had succeeded in creating the Super Magic he had been researching during this period.

Both of them were of the Flame Attribute.

One was meant to counter the kind of Plague Poison Insects Spell he had previously dealt with.

But another was a super strong Attack Magic.

“That should do it, my Combat Energy is about to reach the next level, and spending more time here would be a waste.”

Zhao Guang had already thought of the materials, so he ran to the Silver Tower to look for a task.

“This task is in the northern part of the Beastman Empire, near the territories of the Elves,” Zhao Guang rubbed his hands together, knowing full well the Elves were not to be underestimated, mainly because their relations with humans weren’t that good.

After all, Elves had often been captured by humans to be used as slaves.

Even the slave traders he knew possessed Elves, though where they acquired them from was a mystery.

However, to avoid trouble, Zhao Guang had never accepted any of them.

But this also illustrated the poor relationship between Elves and humans.

In contrast, their relations with the Beastmen were fairly good.

Maybe because the Beastmen were more primitive, closer to nature?

Or perhaps because they didn’t capture Elves as slaves?

Never mind, this will be the task: “Number 8, assign me this task.”

“Hunting a fallen Golden Giant Dragon, I see,” said Number 8.

This task had been posted for a while, but no one had dared to take it lightly.

The files indicated that the Golden Giant Dragon was not weak; although it was unclear what it had done earlier, the mere fact it had escaped was enough to show its prowess.

This level of power was at least equivalent to a Great Mage.

And an ordinary Great Mage couldn’t possibly be a match for this dragon.

Frankly, if it weren’t for his need, he wouldn’t have wanted to provoke this creature at all.

“If the hunt is successful, I can bring the materials I don’t need to the Silver Tower, that’d earn me a lot of contributions.” Number 8’s big eyes looked at Zhao Guang, revealing a hint of an inexplicable glint.

Zhao Guang knew that this was a directive given by the Silver Tower to all its operatives.

Anything potentially useful to the higher echelons of the Silver Tower would always be flagged to them.

“Okay, I understand,” Although Zhao Guang was also covetous of such material, he realized there wasn’t much use for him personally.

Even Dragon Blood, which could increase the speed of Combat Energy training, needed to be refined into potions, which he couldn’t do.

It wasn’t a question of capability, but rather that he simply didn’t know the formula.

This formula could not be purchased even in the Silver Tower; it was held privately.

“Then let’s do this, look for other tasks nearby for me, and if there are any, let’s undertake them together.”

Since it was not easy to travel there, focusing on a single target was not enough.

Besides, that area was near the Elf Territory, where the tasks likely offered significant contributions.

Sure enough, Number 8 quickly handed a series of tasks to Zhao Guang.

However, most of these tasks involved gathering materials or unique herbs from that area.

As for going deep into the Elf Forest or obtaining items available only from within the Elf Clan, Zhao Guang outrightly gave up.

Venturing into such places was far too dangerous, with even his own capabilities possibly not sufficing for a safe return.

A wise man does not stand under a collapsing wall; to delve into the Elf Forest, he would wait until he reached the status of Legendary Mage.

Even for a Legendary Mage, entering did not guarantee a safe return, as it was too perilous.

However, suddenly, Zhao Guang’s eyes lit up: “A Fire Phoenix, I didn’t expect such a creature nearby.”

“Yes, because Fire Phoenixes are even tougher to deal with, and even if we managed to capture one, it wouldn’t be much use to us.”

Upon death, a Fire Phoenix would leave behind only a few feathers, with no other materials remaining.

As for the Phoenix Egg, aside from using it to hatch a new Fire Phoenix, it doesn’t serve many other purposes.

Even if they managed to hatch one, they would not be able to control it.

After all, Fire Phoenixes belong to a special class of Elemental Creatures, utterly different from ordinary beings.

Therefore, even with knowledge of its presence, not one dares to provoke it in the Silver Tower.

“So, what about its strength, how powerful is this Fire Phoenix?”

“According to the records, this Fire Phoenix is also a super Magic Beast, possibly weaker than the giant dragon, but if you consider the difficulty of the encounter, it’s higher.

Some have tried to subdue it before, but none were successful.”

Indeed, the Fire Phoenix is called a Phoenix because of its incredibly fast recovery rate.

Coupled with its mastery of Flames, both its Attack Power and range were quite terrifying.

Even Zhao Guang himself felt a chill at the thought.

Well, he would try his luck, and if it turned out to be too much, he would give up.

“Alright, then take on these tasks for me as well.”

After receiving the tasks, Zhao Guang went back to prepare.

The preparation time was short; mainly, it involved informing his family that he was off to the mountains again, leaving them to think whatever they would.

He also informed Xi Fei that he would be in seclusion to study something and asked not to be disturbed.

Next, he used a method of silent departure, this time utilizing Instant Teleportation, no longer a short-range one.

This Instant Teleportation was a Super Magic, also one of the few spells Zhao Guang hadn’t extensively modified, simply because the spell was already perfectly refined and his own understanding of space was limited.

Using Instant Teleportation, Zhao Guang could precisely move up to ten kilometers, completely unnoticed, soundlessly leaving the boundaries of his territory without anyone realizing their Lord had vanished.
