Chapter 127: Mythical Grade Artifact (Part 1)

After eating breakfast, Evan and the others left the giant tree and walked outside.

"Let me know when you guys enter the dungeon..." Liam said after coming out and immediately ran away somewhere.

Evan was taken aback when he saw this and asked in confusion, "He is not coming to the academy with us?"

Kevin chuckled and shook his head.

"Every time you complete a mission, you will get two days off from the academy..." As Kevin spoke, he also waved his hand and dashed away. "Alice can report all the details about the mission to the academy herself. I am also not going for now."

Erza nodded at Alice and Evan with a smile, and without saying anything, she also left.

Evan looked at their running figures with a speechless look before shifting his attention to Alice, who still wore a calm expression as if she was used to it.

"It seems it’s not the first time they have left the task of reporting the details of the mission to the academy on you."

Alice sighed and nodded her head.

"It’s the disadvantage of being the team leader. You have to do some extra work even if you don’t want to." As she spoke, she turned around and walked in a different direction.

"Let’s go. The sooner we finish our business at the academy, the sooner we can enter the dungeon."

Evan quickly followed after her and asked curiously,

"How far is the academy from here?"

"If we go on foot, it will take us five or six hours to reach there. But since we will be using a ride, it won’t take more than thirty minutes."

"Taking a ride..." Evan raised an eyebrow. "Are we going to use Nero again?"

"No." Alice shook her head and led him forward. Soon, they walked out from behind some tall tree houses, and she pointed ahead. "We will use that thing."

Evan’s gaze shifted in the direction she was pointing, and he was taken aback.

Some distance away from them, there were rows of cable cars. Actually, he wasn’t sure if he should call them cable cars or vine cars because instead of cables, they were connected with green vines, and the cars were made of black wood.

Many cars were moving forward, going straight deeper into a forest that was surrounded by a thick layer of mist.

The view of hundreds of cable cars moving forward and disappearing inside the thick mist looked really strange in Evan’s eyes.

"The sub-academy is located inside the forest?"

"Yes," Alice nodded. "It’s at the very center of the Misty Forest."

"Misty Forest, huh..." Evan smiled slightly. "This name must be because of the thick mist, right?"

"Yes. This forest is surrounded by mist all year round, and there are many Magical Beasts inside the forest that can be used to train students, so it was a perfect place to create an academy."

Alice brought Evan to one of the parked cars and took out a card from her storage ring. She placed the card on the door, and it instantly opened.

"Get in," Alice said and was the first to step inside.

Evan followed after her and sat on the opposite seat.

Once they were seated, Alice touched a rune drawn at the center of the car using her card, and the door immediately closed.

The next second, the cable car shook slightly and began to move.

Evan looked outside through the window of the cable car and saw many cable cars going in the same direction as them.

Another thing that caught his attention was that most of the people sitting in those cable cars were young elves.

Most of them were Rank One Evolvers, while some of them had just become Rank Two Evolvers.

’The aura of all of these people is stronger than normal people of the same level...’ Evan keenly felt their auras, and his eyes narrowed.

"These people are students of the academy?" He asked Alice.

Alice looked at the other cable cars and nodded.

"Yes. Some of them are returning after completing a mission, while some went out for other reasons."

Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard Alice and asked curiously.

"The mission you are talking about... It wouldn’t be related to the Chaos Alliance, right?"

Alice chuckled when she heard Evan and shook her head.

"Not really. Although there are many missions related to the Chaos Alliance in the academy, it doesn’t mean there are no other missions..." She said and continued, "Other than the Chaos Alliance, you can also accept missions related to capturing some wanted criminals, hunting down a powerful Magical Beast to bring back a specific part of its body, or even dealing with problems related to dungeon outbreaks. There are tons of missions that you can accept. But of course, because of how dangerous the Chaos Alliance is, tasks related to them give the best rewards."

"I see..." Evan nodded in understanding upon hearing Alice and looked back at the students in different cable cars.

Other than High Elves, there were also many Winged Elves, Ice Elves, and even Dark Elves.

The cable car continued to move forward and soon entered the Misty Forest.

Because of his excellent eyesight, despite the thick mist, Evan could still see his surroundings clearly.

Evan looked down from the cable car, but because of the thick trees and mist, he couldn’t see the ground below.

But even without seeing with his eyes, he could feel many auras in the mist and sensed the presence of Magical Beasts using his Wind Detection ability.

"There are some Magical Beasts below us," He said to Alice.

"Don’t worry about them," Alice said calmly. "We are still at the edge of the forest, so the Magical Beasts here are not very powerful. Only after reaching deeper do we need to be careful, as there are many high-level Magical Beasts in the deeper area of the forest."

The cable car continued to move forward, and nothing unexpected happened on the way.

Around thirty minutes later, Evan noticed the mist around them began to decrease.

Just as he was wondering what was happening, Alice looked outside and spoke.

"We are about to reach."
