Chapter 105: Wizard Camp

~7 min read 1,220 words

"Fifty kilometers ahead, number of people, five—"

Speaking of this, Jie Ming suddenly stopped with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Amy was a bit nervous.

Jie Ming touched his chin and thought: "Wait—"

Sinking his mind into the space in his body, he activated alchemy, and temporarily changed the core module of a glimmer eye.

Changed the original "Wave Search" to "Analysis Wizardry".

Hanging it under the reconnaissance system of other glimmer eyes, Jie Ming blasted this glimmer eye towards the direction where the team was detected with an energy bullet.

Assisting the detection of energy fluctuations by Analysis Wizardry, Jie Ming's expression quickly eased:

"It's the fluctuation of wizardry resonance."

The so-called wizardry resonance is the natural disturbance to external elemental energy generated based on meditation methods and wizardry models.

"It's a wizard!" Victor's spirit was lifted.

Amy was also energized.

The contract Jie Ming and the others signed when they enrolled was still quite useful. At least in the absence of excessive hatred, most of the wizards under the Norn Workshop encountered on the plane battlefield were at a trustworthy level.

The other side also seemed to perceive the fluctuation of the Analysis Wizardry released by Jie Ming and began to move cautiously towards the direction where Jie Ming and the others were.

However, they didn't go far before these people encountered enemies.

Feeling the intense energy fluctuations coming from the "tactical map", Jie Ming did not immediately step forward.

He checked the information fed back by the glimmer eye again, confirmed that the wizardry fluctuation was the standard system of the workshop, and there was no abnormality,

only then did he guide the two to approach cautiously.

"Stop."

When they were about to approach, Jie Ming signaled the two to hide.

In the distance, a team composed of five wizards was fighting fiercely with a group of giant spiders.

Their spell light intertwined with the spiders' venom, and the battle was fierce.

Jie Ming and the others did not rashly intervene, not only to be on the safe side but also to show their sincerity, representing that they had no malice on their side.

Waiting for them to solve the battle, Jie Ming then appeared with Amy and Victor.

"We are apprentices of Norn Academy 13, here to seek support." Jie Ming stated his identity straight to the point.

The captain of that wizard team, a Tier 2 Wizard who looked unremarkable, looked at them vigilantly.

However, they had also seen Jie Ming's behavior before, and what's more, the energy fluctuation of Analysis Wizardry could not be faked, so there was no major conflict.

Confirming that the Analysis Wizardry did indeed come from the person in front of them, the captain of the wizard team nodded: "So it's the apprentices for assessment. To be able to arrive so quickly, it seems your strength is quite good. Follow us, the camp is just ahead."

Led by the wizard team, the three quickly arrived at their destination.

The scene in front of them suddenly opened up. On a huge plain that had been cleared, a wizard camp constructed of metal stood tall.

However, it did not look like the fortress of war-torn and heavily guarded as Jie Ming had imagined.

On the contrary, this camp looked more like a small Norn Academy that had just been established but was a bit empty inside.

In the center were several tall rune towers, surrounded by a large number of houses and training grounds, and there was even an area that looked like a public canteen.

Although because the time was rushed, these houses did not have many decorative patterns like the buildings of the academy, they still appeared quite peaceful.

"Is this our Wizard Base Camp?" Amy asked in surprise.

"Yes, apprentice. This is our frontline temporary command post." The leading wizard explained, "Most of the wizard teams are out performing tasks, and only logistics and a few garrison personnel are left here."

The wizard team did not introduce the situation here in detail, but looking at his appearance, it seemed he was not worried that the indigenous people would suddenly launch an attack.

But Jie Ming and the others understood very well.

Although the interior appeared a bit empty, Jie Ming could feel the terrifying power hidden in this camp from the details.

Around the camp, rich elemental fluctuations almost to the point of substance permeated, which was the concentrated embodiment of countless rune circuits and energy nodes.

Once fired at full power, this small academy would instantly transform into a terrifying war machine, enough to tear any invading enemy to pieces.

On the outermost periphery of the camp, various models of war golems were parked densely. They were of different sizes, ranging from scout-type as tall as a person to siege-type tens of meters tall.

All kinds of summoned creatures, from abyss demon dogs to elemental giants, were also scattered around the camp.

Coupled with the high-level wizards stationed inside and the camp itself, even if the gods of this world suddenly had a brain cramp and launched a full-scale war, they could hold on for a long time.

The leading wizard left straight away after leading them here. It seemed that bringing the encountered apprentices to the camp should also be part of the task.

The three followed the guiding golem in the camp to a rune tower in the center of the camp. This was the hub for identity registration and task issuance.

"Please record your identity information, apprentices." A wizard responsible for registration said without raising his head.

Jie Ming and the three each placed their apprentice badges in the corresponding rune grooves, and a stream of information instantly poured into their minds.

"Welcome to the Elosia frontline camp, apprentices." A cold voice sounded in their minds, and at the same time, their permission lists were clearly displayed in front of them.

"You can use the camp's teleportation array to forcibly break through the plane barrier and leave. However, this will mean that you automatically give up this assessment and will be directly teleported back to the Norn Workshop Headquarters."

"You can use the facilities in the camp for supplies, or you can trade various raw materials, special items, and even new knowledge researched in the plane with the workshop."

"However, you cannot access the wizard war task system of this plane."

The last rule made Amy and Victor stunned for a moment.

"Why?" Victor couldn't help but ask.

The wizard responsible for registration finally raised his head and explained expressionlessly: "It's very simple. The role of you coming to this plane is to accept the assessment. And the tasks on the task system are all issued by us official wizards based on the intelligence and information collected on the front line."

"This intelligence itself is a kind of resource. If this information is directly provided to you, then what is the meaning of this assessment? You must learn to scout for yourselves, judge for yourselves, and make contributions for yourselves."

"What the workshop wants to select are elites who can survive independently and create value in an unknown environment, not soldiers who only know how to complete instructions. Understand?"

Jie Ming and the three looked at each other and nodded helplessly. ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
