Grand Master Tyl and I explore the land beyond the wall, and I must say that there is nothing here.
"Do you find anything, Grand Master Tyl?"
"Not so far, your highness."
I can see him looking around using a telescope, standing on the tallest tree. After a minute, they get down from the tree and say.
"I'm sorry to say this, your highness, but we didn't find anything for the past… hour."
"I know. I thought that this would be easy but it was not."
I cannot rely only on mana sense because of how the necrotic mana in the air covers the entire area. It masks our target's necrotic mana. The necrotic mana in the air is so thick that I cannot feel anything near me through my mana sense ability.
"Urgh. Whatever. It looks like we need to use a traditional method."
I put my hand together, and suddenly eight orbs appear around me. I let four of them fly away and let the other four stay with us. I snap my finger, and a hologram appears on top of the four orbs that stay with us.
This is a spell that I invented. It let me watch the other four orbs' locations and scout at four different locations. I can summon up to seven pairs, but the range will be cut by half if I do that. Currently, it can scout up to ten kilometers, increasing the less orb I use.
"OUHHHHH! What kind of spell is this?! A spying spell?! No. No. No. More of a scouting spell. Oh~"
Right. Grand Master Tyl is a nerd that locks himself in the basement of his base to research a new spell or a new way to use magic other than the one I already created in the past or the one already used in the past by our ancestors.
"Yes. Anyway, I need your help watching the other two orbs, Grand Master Tyl. I cannot watch four at the same time while also controlling the other four orbs in the distance."
"Of course, your highness. I'm sorry for my early behavior."
"Don't worry about it."
Man… He can change his behavior like a light switch. Earlier, he was a nerd who liked to see new things, but now he looks like a good soldier who is serious and obedient to his superior.
We continue to search for a few minutes before I hear GrandMaster Tyler's voice.
"Your Highness. I can see them. Three of those undead creatures walk to the west. A couple of kilometers away from us."
I look at the orb he holds and sees three blue undead walking to the south with their mount, an undead bear, and an undead horse.
"We have our target, let's capture them."
"Hehehehe~ I cannot wait to experiment with these creatures. Hehehehehe~"
I shiver a little at his laugh. Also, is that saliva I see? What's wrong with him? I shake my head and start to wave my hand. A second later, both of us started to fly high to the west. I decided not to fly too fast because the wind and the hail of snow and ice would hurt us if we went too fast.
After a few minutes, we can see the three undead creatures we saw earlier.
"Grand Master Tyl, are you ready? I will leave the capturing of them in your hand."
"Wait a second, your highness!"
I can see him take something from his bag, and he shows it to me with a grin on his face. It was a pitch-black cage that glowed a little. I can feel some magic coming from the cage.
"This is my invention, your highness! I made this to capture the Shadow Cat in the northern Riverland. It is strong enough to withstand that creature's attack. However, I modified it a little bit three days ago. Now it is three times stronger. As long as they do not have the strength of a Giant, this cage will not break."
"Good. I will leave it to you."
"Of course, your highness!"
I nod my head, and both of us slowly descend. As we get closer, one of the undead sees us and starts to fire an arrow at us. I quickly summon a transparent while in front of us and block all the arrows flying at us.
When we are close enough, I quickly release a good amount of mana and clap my hand together. A second later, a box made of stone appears around the undead and traps them inside.
"Grand Master Tyl!"
"Yes!"
He bites his finger a little and smears his blood on the cage before throwing them at the cage. The small cage expands and traps the entire stone cage inside. I cancel my spell and see the undead inside.
I cast another shield when I see them still firing their bow at us. That will be a problem. I quickly focus on all of their weapons and throw them away. After throwing them away, I can see Grand Master Tyl clap his hands, and suddenly the cage gets smaller before it returns to its previous size.
"Oh! You finally master space magic."
"Not at all, your highness. I only use some of your magic that I got when you visited our base last year."
Oh right. He once asked me to show him my magic.
"I manage to capture some of the energy you release and turn it into this. I cannot produce your space mana but I can't contain it and use it for different kinds of instruments."
"Ohhh~ That is interesting."
"You can come to my lab, your highness. You can help me with a lot of my experiments, and I can show you all of my inventions that I know are worth your time."
"Sure. I will come later. For now, we have something to do."
"Oh right! I'm sorry about that, your highness."
"Don't mention it."
Grand Master Tyl walks toward the cage on the ground, takes it, and places it inside a container. It must be a special container because I can feel the magic coming from it.
