while leo and martin were wondering about faes accepting to work full time the news of the man being completely healed from the curse spread all over nexa rapidly.
various large companies who were waiting for natures blessing downfall saw it rise to save itself as the number of customers began increasing in the company.
natures blessing was already a good quality company selling various things, now along with a master alchemist making unique articles for ten applicants per month it attracted a lot more customers.
many expressed their discontentment about only ten applications being accepted, many even expressed their desire to meet the master alchemist aster but none even saw her shadow as faes was a long distance away from nexa in a forest.
now that she was a member of a company she got a pass to explore Nadar's territories. though she wasn't much interested in them knowing that they will most likely have industries or mines. but she was interested in the treasure that one place held in Nadar.
sitting on a branch while resting faes observed the treasure map she got from the village chief Joshua from the mining village. she had used her decode skill to decode the map as its drawings were barely visible.
after using the skill the drawings had turned better and even new marked locations were shown on the map but it wasn't the best guide to take her there yet. after all in the end it was a century-old thing.
'system scan the map and make a 3d copy for me' after fussing over the direction faes finally used the system. she thought using the map after decoding it will become easy but it led her to a dead-end in the forest. now she was lost! to make travel faster and easier only she was outside mystic fog castle while others were back training.
but now she was lost and can only ask the system to help her out.
[scanning..... needs one minute]
the system said and soon the scanning was complete.
a translucent 3d model of the map appeared in front of her area around her was marked along with the way to the treasure according to the map. nearby beast and other herbs and all were also marked.
'good job, mi' faes praised the system who raised its head smugly.
after observing the map faes noticed where she was. actually, she wasn't on a dead end but she just accidentally stumbled upon a wrong path. sighing faes followed the system's form back to the main path and continued forward.
the area they were heading to was called as lunar mountain ranges, it was said to be a restricted area for living beings as whoever went there never came back. faes knew it was something related to the treasure map and hence was curious to know what treasure the lunar mountain ranges is hiding.
after a whole day of travelling deeper into the forest faes and mi finally arrived in front of a cave hidden by veins. guarding the cave were two dozen wolves which were to her shock elite establishment stage. she should have arrived here much earlier but she got distracted on the way because of a few rare herbs and other plants. now the area was dark, if not for her upgraded vision she might have missed the wolves and even the cave.
faes had system scan the cave's inner area and create a map. after the system finished the work faes was about to enter mystic fog castle but paused hearing a notification warning.
[ding! required conditions met. upgrading mystic fog castle. the upgrade will begin after five minutes and the host along with others will be unable to enter the space for one hour. please make necessary preparations]
'mi what conditions? and upgrade?' faes asked the hovering system in front of her. she didn't remember doing anything to cause the space upgrade.
[the details will be available after the upgrade host] mi replied. faes shook her head and entered mystic fog castle and informed everyone of the upgrade.
robin and Emma quickly packed their food and others took their weapons they left the space just before the upgrade began.
"miss faes what changes are going to happen to mystic fog castle?" robin asked after faes took them to a safer area away from the wolves perception range. last time the place was updated naturally a whole field and forest area appeared.
"we will know after an hour, while we are here lets eat and plan about the treasure hunting" faes replied before picking her food and observing the map of the cave.
'mi are you there?' faes took a bite of her food frowning suddenly as she called mi.
[yes host?] mi appeared in front of her, his fluffy tail swinging side to side.
'can you make this map visible to others?' faes asked
[yes host but it will be a huge drain on your mana]
faes nodded before turning to the system
'and why is that area in the innermost region of the cave black?' this was the reason for her frown. she can see the whole wolf pack in the cave but the innermost area was black as if there was nothing there.
[mi is unable to scan that area because of some reasons. but i can tell that there is one living thing in that area.]
faes was shocked knowing even the system wasn't able to scan the area. looks like she needs to plan carefully.
'make the map visible to the others mi' faes demanded after she finished her food.
"i observed the cave and made a map for it here" faes told others who have also finished their food.
the magic particles along with qi began to leave her palm merging with the 3d map and giving it a neon glow of various colours. others gasped at the shining map of the cave which even showed the wolves moving around while the qi made few words above them showing their cultivation and powers.
"there are over a hundred wolves!"
"and they are powerful too!"
"the guards at the entrance are only elite establishment stage but as they went deeper they become even stronger till elemental establishment stage"
"there are only two elemental strengthening stage wolves but about five peak king establishment stage ones!"
"and about thirty noble establishment stage wolves, fifty elite establishment stage wolves too inside the cave"
"the elemental strengthening stage wolves can even use magic! one uses qi while other use lightening"
