Chapter 256:
Under the gaze of this person, Freya felt as if she were being watched by a ferocious beast, sending chills down her spine.
This prompted her to quickly turn her head and pretend to look elsewhere.
After a while, that feeling began to fade.
At this moment, Fira, the temporary head of the Rune Department, was conversing with two unfamiliar wizards, and the three occasionally nodded at each other.
Before long, one of the tall, thin wizards holding a Black Staff stepped slightly in front of the Three-Headed Rhinoceros.
A green light shot out from the top of the staff, causing the three massive creatures to rise up, shake their necks, and begin to move slowly.
Having concluded the temporary meeting, Fira walked over to the gathering place of the Rune Department, pointed at the carriage, and said lightly, "We are also setting off!"
Everyone nodded and picked up their luggage as they boarded the nearby carriage.
‘Caw!’
At that moment, a loud eagle cry echoed.
Freya, who had just reached the front of the carriage, slightly raised her head. Not far away, more than a dozen Crimson Giant Eagles flapped their wings and attempted to take off from the ground. The flapping created a fierce wind that stirred up dust in the air.
Seeing the clouds of dust approaching, Freya hurriedly climbed into the carriage and closed the curtain.
As she entered, the carriage began to move forward.
The space inside the carriage was much more spacious than it appeared from outside. In addition to a round table set up inside, there were also two soft beds for resting. Moreover, despite the movement of the carriage, it did not feel shaky at all, making it quite convenient.
Inside the carriage, besides Kathy and the Black-Haired Wizard from earlier, there was also another seemingly gentle Male Wizard.
The Black-Haired Wizard seemed to know the other person and was chatting amiably.
Freya nodded at him, greeted him, and then sat down next to Kathy.
She lifted the curtain beside her and could vaguely see the large and heavy figure of the Three-Headed Rhinoceros ahead, while more than a dozen giant eagles in the sky had completely disappeared, likely having gone ahead.
Kathy was applying the Blushgrass that the Black-Haired Wizard had given her evenly on her face.
She had two-thirds Sea Tribe blood, and although it wasn't pure, prolonged exposure to air could cause her skin to dry and crack, so moisturizing was something she often did.
Freya had little desire to converse; after watching the marching team for a while, she closed the curtain, picked up a thick black book, and began reading while slowly stabilizing her Liquefaction mental power.
For this operation, their Rune Department was only there as a support mission, so they could return after establishing the Rune Tower.
As the carriage moved forward, the two Wizards across from them also fell silent and began meditating with their eyes closed.
After reading for a while, Freya closed her book and started to rest her eyes as well.
During her time with the Crimson Eagle, she had been preparing various materials and resources for breaking through Liquefaction while rapidly absorbing Basic Knowledge from Official Wizards.
With her current knowledge reserve, she understood almost everything unless it involved something too obscure.
The book in her hand was merely for leisure.
As she entered Liquefaction Level, it seemed that both her soul and physique had improved somewhat. This was reflected in a subtle sensation at her chest that hinted at a merging with her physical body.
The sensation itself existed to stimulate physical potential; it just needed to be actively triggered when required.
Now that it was merging, it meant transforming this active stimulation into a passive state, showcasing an overall enhancement of her physical qualities.
Although Freya's appearance has not changed much aside from the hidden twin horns on her head, her overall abilities have significantly improved.
This increase in physical attributes may not have much effect on an ordinary wizard, but it is extremely important for Freya.
After all, her combat style primarily relies on close combat with spells as a supplement. Originally, activating her aura required a certain buffer and cooldown period, but now that it has become passive, it greatly enhances her combat power.
Currently, her mental strength is still in an unstable phase. Once she surpasses this stage, even if her mental strength remains at the bottom level of Liquefaction Level, her combat ability will be equivalent to standing at the top of Liquefaction Level.
Even when facing a Crystallization Level wizard, she estimates that even if she cannot win, she can escape without a scratch.
However, while her physical attributes continue to strengthen, the spells she has mastered are somewhat outdated. It is worth noting that the spells Freya commonly uses are still those she brought from Elgreen, most of which belong to the apprentice level.
Although their power has been continuously improved to the point where they can shake the defenses of an ordinary wizard's Force Field, as her level rises higher and higher, they will eventually become insufficient.
"Just right, during my time at Crimson Eagle, I have already collected several First-Level Spell Models. It's time to update my commonly used spells for Liquefaction Level," Freya thought calmly with her eyes slightly closed.
The location of the secret realm is not far from Crimson Eagle, and the carriages equipped for this operation have been specially modified for speed.
As evening approached, the group quickly arrived at their destination.
The three Giant Carriages in front slowly came to a stop, followed by the ordinary carriages that ceased moving as well.
The four of them opened their eyes from meditation.
Without saying a word, Freya was the first to jump down from the carriage.
Not far away, some ordinary guards were already unloading equipment from the Giant Carriage.
Shadows began to emerge from the carriages around them.
Freya glanced around and noticed that although she was not near the secret realm, she was not far from it either.
This area had already been cleared, and some apprentices in Gray Robes were using a Short Staff to cast spells that made the tents automatically expand.
The evening clouds were a fiery red, and the surrounding forest rustled gently. Occasionally, three Crimson Giant Eagles could be seen soaring above, seemingly on guard.
The atmosphere felt calm and peaceful.
After the two Male Wizards got off the carriage, they disappeared somewhere. Kathy was the last to step out, joining Freya.
She looked at the tranquil forest around her, furrowing her brow as she murmured.
"This forest gives me an uncomfortable feeling."
"What?" Freya raised an eyebrow at Kathy's words. To her senses, nothing had changed since they left; everything seemed normal.
"It feels like something is watching us," Kathy pondered.
The Siren's Bloodline not only possessed a mesmerizing singing voice but also had senses beyond human capability. Since Kathy felt this way, it was likely true.
Under Freya's watchful gaze, Kathy slightly squinted her eyes. In a daze, her originally round pupils suddenly constricted into golden slit pupils, and fin-like features appeared on both sides of her cheeks.
Suddenly, she pointed towards a nearby thicket with urgency.
"I can feel it; it's right there, that thing."
Freya quickly followed her point direction. In the shadowy forest, she suddenly spotted a mysterious figure clad in a black robe, quietly standing there observing the area.
Others, including some wizards above the Crystallization Level, seemed to notice nothing and continued their preparations.
"Hmm? What's that?"
Freya was slightly taken aback upon seeing the figure, a familiar feeling rising in her heart, as she realized that this person was suddenly the most mysterious one among the five before—the Black-Robed Mysterious Person.
However, in the blink of an eye, that figure mysteriously vanished.
"What did you discover?" Kathy, returning to her original appearance, gently asked Freya, noticing her unusual behavior.
"Nothing," Freya shook her head. "I might have seen it wrong."
"Is that so?"
Kathy glanced at Freya with a puzzled expression but did not press further to inquire about what she might have seen incorrectly.
The two exchanged a few more words, and Kathy seemed to have something to attend to, leaving alone.
Freya remained standing in place, feeling that things were somewhat absurd; the missing Mysterious Black Robe was actually related to this species leak.
"Is there something hidden behind this secret realm?"
As she pondered aimlessly in her mind, a black Cyclops symbol suddenly appeared between her fingers; it was Fira's Wizard's Mark.
The information within the mark instructed Freya to gather for specific arrangements regarding this operation.
After looking at the dimming mark in her hand, Freya glanced back at the forest and then turned to leave.
Inside the makeshift giant tent, Freya sat at a long wooden table with others.
At the front of the table, Fira scanned all the members of the Rune Department present.
After a while, when the last Runes Department Wizard arrived at the tent, he lightly tapped the table. Once everyone's attention was on him, he spoke solemnly.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, I'll keep it brief. Although our Rune Department is not the main force in this operation, we must still do our job well. I will pass on the specific information regarding Rune Tower to you shortly. Now, let me explain the specific impacts of this biological leak."
Listening quietly to Fira's arrangements, Freya suddenly felt a faint sense of danger directed at her.
She turned her head sharply and found a witch with a shiny bald head and a fierce red scorpion tattoo sitting not far from her.
Suddenly, it was Nick Meiler, who had previously had conflicts with her.
At that moment, this witch from the Black Sea was staring at Freya's neck with an unusual gaze, as if contemplating how to let her Scorpion crawl inside.
When she noticed Freya looking over, she turned her head away, pretending nothing had happened.
This blatant provocation made Freya frown slightly; it was clear that the other party still remembered their brief battle.
What she didn't know was whether Nick's provocation would lead to any actions outside the territory of Crimson Eagle.
Freya narrowed her eyes slightly; if this Nick witch intended to do something, she wouldn't mind letting her know that there were other more terrifying things waiting for her besides the Black Sea.
The meeting did not last long.
After finishing the meeting and having dinner together, everyone returned to their respective tents.
Freya lifted the flap of her tent and walked inside.
The interior space utilizes Spatial Folding Technology, making it nearly the same size as an ordinary hotel room, complete with tables, chairs, and other living necessities.
After a brief glance around, she sat at the table and took out her suitcase, which contained some unprocessed materials brought back from the secret realm.
The construction of the Rune Tower was about to officially begin, and since it was still early, she decided to take advantage of the free time to do some simple processing.
Although she hadn't found any useful herbs in the Cultivation Area, she had managed to acquire quite a few peculiar items in the Biological Zone.
In particular, she had traded for a remarkable hidden technique from there that could evade mental perception without any fluctuations in ability.
If she could successfully decipher this technique, it would undoubtedly be Freya's greatest trump card.
Using rune technology, she filtered out some useless or less useful materials and processed the valuable ones.
After completing these tasks, Freya took out the small Black Book from the sulfur bottle.
The Black Book appeared thick but was actually not very substantial due to its material; it only had a few words on it that looked quite laborious to read.
Quietly observing the Black Book on her fingers, she turned the pages with tweezers.
Three hours later, Freya rubbed her somewhat sore eyes and straightened up, shaking her head in disappointment.
"This technique is merely a spatial ability granted by Bloodline. No wonder that Black Bug exchanged it so readily, and at the price of just a piece of meat—truly ridiculous."
At that moment, she recalled the appearance of the Black Bug and speculated that the Wizard Organization that opened the secret realm must have also experienced such treatment.
"However, although this technique is a Bloodline ability, there are still some aspects that can be referenced. It would be just right to combine it with compression methods and the concealed Spell I once obtained; it's not like I gained nothing."
The energy compression method from the Black Forest is quite beneficial. Under mental compression, it can also help conceal one's presence to some extent. No wonder it is considered a confidential existence.
With Freya's current knowledge, she is already capable of improving this compression method. If things go smoothly, it might even lead to the creation of a new Spell, rather than just a simple technique.
However, transforming a technique into a complete Spell Model will undoubtedly take a long time, and no significant results can be expected in the short term.
"How about trying to improve it while also creating some disposable consumables? After all, the knowledge in this technique is related to runes, so perhaps I can achieve some breakthroughs from there?"
Just as she was contemplating the feasibility, suddenly, a delicate figure appeared in the tent.
"Freya, are you asleep? I saw that your light was still on."
The voice of Kathy came from outside the tent.
Hearing the voice from outside, Freya paused for a moment, quickly tidied up the items on her desk, and then replied, "Not yet. Is there something you need?"
"Yes, there is."
Kathy's tone was somewhat tense, which made Freya furrow her brows slightly. She stood up and walked to the back of the tent to pull it open.
Outside, Kathy was not wearing her usual white Robe, but instead donned a pink nightgown, looking awkwardly at Freya.
