Netheril’s Glory

In front of Punk, situated in the middle of the White Tower's hall, was a beautiful table made by spells. There were a few bottles of fine wine and some large pieces of ordinary white bread on this table.

With the radiating brilliant magical light, the dining table, which was woven entirely with green vines, gave off a sense of vigor and vitality. Also, the corners of the table were delicately dotted with bright red flowers, which finally added some liveliness to the gloomy environment of the white tower.

Punk, who had just finished the experiment, was sitting on the main seat of this fancy dining table, while a beautiful blonde girl was sitting in the guest seat of this table. If One ignored the picture behind Punk, then this banquet could really be considered beautiful.

The background behind Punk was not really that "special"; it was just a young man lying with his brain tied up on the test bench outside of his head. Of course, to a mage obsessed with knowledge, was it not just a usual scene?

"I am very busy with my experiments at this time, so Miss Elenka Dokdo, I will go straight to the point. May I know what is the reason for your visit?"

Punk drank the tea made with medicinal materials indifferently and stared at Elenka, who was already sweating profusely, with deep eyes.

She didn't visit as soon as he arrived at Niailan and waited until today to visit him, so Punk didn't believe that she just came to greet him, after all, communication of Dolez city was not so bad that there would be a delay of more than half a year.

"Lord mage Punk Saian, I am the countess of Niailan Town, Esser Town, Lesotho Town and Ansha Town. I heard that Lord mage came to settle down here, so I specially came to pay a visit!"

Elenka pretended not to see Punk's indifferent eyes, and while also avoiding the twitching humanoid creature on the experimental platform, she tried to speak to Punk in a noble's manner that was not too hurried nor too slow.

Although on the surface, this sentence of Elenka seemed like a simple greeting, but the subtext in it was to tell Punk that the small town of Niailan was the territory of the Dokdo family. And according to the unspoken rule among the nobility on the plane of Pheren, all things visible to the naked eye belonged to the lord of the land. So now that Punk occupied a piece of property in her territory soundlessly, it should be considered a bit of favor from the Dokdo family.

There was no expression on the Punk's face, but he sneered secretly in his heart; no matter where it was, nobles always liked to play these tricks. If he was a mage from the lawful camp, then at this moment, he might have apologized and taken out a few bottles of alchemy potions as compensation.

But Punk only glanced at Elenka coldly:

"It's mine now. Do you have anything to say, Miss Elenka Dokdo?"

After finishing her speech, Elenka was waiting, expecting Punk to apologize and then taking out a few generous gifts, but unexpectedly, Punk didn't play according to the norm, and all the sneaky calculations she made became useless.

At this moment, she was scolding in her heart:

"As an official mage, how could you be so shameless?"

"...No, no, nothing to say!"

What else can she say? The young man sitting opposite obviously wasn't the reclusive good-tempered mage she expected. As the saying goes, "circumstance dictates the choice."So now she had to adapt and compromise in this situation where the other party was far stronger than her.

"Then Miss Elenka, is there something else you want to say? I don't think you just came to chat, right?"

Faced with Punk's speaking manner that didn't align with the rules of the noble's conversations, Elenka temporarily lost her composure. She quickly closed her half-opened mouth and swallowed the bunch of polite words that she was about to speak.

"Lord Mage, to tell you the truth, my grandfather, the last patriarch of the Dokdo family, disappeared in the surrounding lush Jungle forty-two years ago. He was very old and an official mage of the eleventh level. Our Dokdo family always believed that "fallen leaves should return to their roots"... But grandfather, his bones and his belongings have been lying in a cave in the lush Jungle, enduring the wind and rain, but due to the decline of the Dokdo family and the incompetence of our two generations of Patriarchs, We...we weren't able to find a powerful professional to help us retrieve the remains of our grandfather. Besides...most of the warriors were not interested in the things left by a mage, So..."

The more she talked, the sadder Elenka became, and tears rained downed from her eyes. A perfect sentimental card, if she was on the earth, she might have won an Oscar for her act. If such a beautiful girl played this kind of perfect act of heart-felt sadness in front of some naive teenager, then he might just agree to go through fire and water for this sly girl.

But Punk was no ordinary teenager. He looked at Elenka, who was now uttering almost nonsense, and said slowly:

"So......now you want to seek my help, right?"

"Next, will you say that your grandfather died because of the sudden relapse of old injuries? The cave is actually not dangerous at all, and he conveniently carried a personal note containing a lot of valuable knowledge, and as long as I can retrieve your grandfather's bones? , Those notes can be gifted to me as a reward?"

After finishing what Elenka was supposedly about to say in one breath, Punk lightly picked up the teacup and took a sip, then returned to his indifferent expression and looked at the panicked Elenka.

"You... you are a prophesy mage?"

Elenka was stunned. She now felt that all of today's events were completely beyond her control. She immediately realized that in front of a prophecy mage, as an ordinary person, she couldn't keep any secrets at all.

Punk did not respond to Elenka's surprise. He was not a true prophecy mage who specialized in prophecy, and the information obtained by his prophecy spells was not very detailed. Many things were just obtained through simple reasoning and the system's strong analysis ability. So as long as there was not too much deviation, it was normal for others to think that he used prophecy spells.

But of course, he wouldn't explain anything. He just stared at the dejected Elenka, who, after wiping away her tears, started to tell the truth of the matter.

It turns out that Elenka came to visit Punk, not for any such absurd reason as to retrieve the remains of her grandfather; although her grandfather's disappearance was true, the Dokdo family did not even try to find her grandfather's remains from the beginning to the end.

The reason Elenka asked Punk to enter the lush Jungle was that, since last year, a major product of the Lush Jungle, the number of Duoweihua flower, has experienced an extremely abnormal reduction. The degree and speed of this decrease were so severe that it was like, "yesterday it was still a green grassland, and today there is not a single grass present." It could be seen at a glance that it was not a natural phenomenon.

Duoweihua flower was an essential raw material for the production of cheap perfume. This perfume was aimed at most of the low- and middle-class ordinary people. Even though it is very affordable and inferior in quality, it was still very profitable due to its overall sales volume.

The Dokdo family could maintain the upper-class noble lifestyle just with only four small towns because of the profit from these cheap perfumes, and almost 90% of the family's income came from this.

But now, in just a few months, the crucial raw material of the perfume, the Duoweihua flower, had become difficult to find. One must know that this kind of flower was originally found everywhere in the lush Jungle, but now it had all disappeared inexplicably, anyone could very easily guess that there was a big problem with this situation.

Without the flowers, there was no way to make perfume, and the Dokdo family was cut off from their source of livelihood. So the anxious Dokdo family spent a lot of their savings to purchase an official-level prophecy scroll, and from the information obtained through that spell, they got a slight hint that the Duoweihua's disappearance was related to a weird cave called "The Spider Cave" in the Lush Jungle, and coincidently this cave was also the same cave that Elenka's grandfather went to explore before his disappearance.

Being able to swallow the life of an experienced official mage, even if the old mage did have some hidden injuries, it was more than enough to show the danger of this cave. Although the official-level spell notes were very attractive, as it was not very useful for most Warriors, the official-level dwarf warrior of Dolez City expressed no interest. So finally, the appearance of Punk became the last hope of the Dokdo family.
