....
On a flat ground in the eastern part of the Nightless City.
A shining bright moon hung in the sky, reflecting a silvery lustre on the earth.
The silhouettes of the trees dancing in the wind continuously projected malevolent shadows on the ground, just like monsters of various shapes and sizes.
*Whoosh!*
Countless black figures converged, forming the shadows of 3 figures on the ground.
Two of the three people had worn a thick layer of black robes and used a veil to cover their faces. It seemed to give off the vibe of something eerie and crafty.
"Old Devil! When is Virago coming?" A cloaked figure spoke to the person that did not put on a veil but had a small demon mask on instead.
"Soon!" The voice of an old woman sounded from under the mask.
"By the way, I don't have a problem with you getting Virago to come since she's from our organisation and she's quite strong. Who's this person though?"
The cloaked person projected to the old witch, evidently dissatisfied. Indicating his displeasure at the person next to Old Devil.
"Don't worry, she's a good friend of mine. She's definitely trustworthy!" The old witch guaranteed.
"She'd better be. If not, no matter how tempting your rewards are, I'll take my leave!"
"Don't worry, she's" She projected to him once more.
"I see!" She told the cloaked person some information, and it immediately became silent.
Minutes later, a Blue flame soared at the site and a silhouette covered in a blue cloak directly appeared on the ground.
"My apologies, I'm a little late!"
Lancy spoke and glanced through the people around.
She was obviously familiar with the old witch, and she had also seen the cloaked man in the dark Magi organisation before. He went by the nickname Brass Ring. As for the other, Lancy had no idea who it was.
"Virago, you're here! Let me introduce you, you already know Brass Ring, and this here is Jaye, a good friend of mine!"
The old witch first gave a brief introduction.
"We don't need to gather any attention on us, Stay down Brass ring" Following which, Lancy turned around and asked the old witch, "Old Devil, I'm sure you can tell us some things by now, can't you?"
The old witch looked at Lancy deep in the eyes before reluctantly agreeing. "Alright then!"
" This is a small scale secret plane that I stumbled on during my travels. It should be an experiment lab of sorts. The area will not exceed 100 mu, so we can definitely finish exploring it within 3 days!"
"It's a shame! If it was a resource type of secret plane, we could occupy it in secret then alter it, hehe then we would be filthy rich!"
Brass Ring was stroking his chin as if he was caught in some fantasy.
"Keep dreaming!" The old witch sneered icily, interrupting Brass Ring's fancy dreams.
"The bigger the area of the secret plane, the higher the cost of construction. As for the resource type secret planes which was larger than 100k mu, even for some ancient Magi organisations, there weren't many that could afford to construct it"
"All the present resource type secret planes that belongs to the large organisations are all remnants from the ancient Magi which have been altered slightly, that's all! If there really was a resource type secret plane being discovered here, the likes of us wouldn't be able to stomach it. Even if we added our whole organisation plus the Boss that is backing it, it still wouldn't be enough!"
"Let's go! Even if it's just a laboratory type of secret plane, there must still be a lot of valuable stuff inside. We're also handing over a lot contributions to the higher ups. It's enough for you to trade for a lot of resources!"
For these kind of small scale secret planes, every large Magi organisation has set up missions.
No matter if it's Light or the dark Magi organisation which the old witch belonged to, they all have the power to take it over. After which there naturally will be a lot of rewards for the finders.
"The entrance to the secret plane is on the west side of this town, inside a two story wooden building!"
The old witch seemed quite familiar with the surroundings as she brought the three of them to a two-storey building made out of wood.
Compare to the small town, this place was even more remote. Weed were growing all around the villa and there were even two mole like animals quickly scurrying by.
"Originally this place was a lively street, but since 13 years ago the residents in this place kept dying one by one. Sometimes the town residents could hear sound of a woman wailing outside their homes, that's why the rumors spread about it being a cursed or a haunted house. The surroundings ended up being overgrown!"
The old witch opened up the rusted gates while feeling rather satisfied with herself.
"I found this place during one of my explorations, after a couple of months of investigation, I'm sure that the unusual situations around here is cause by the deterioration of the defensive spells around the entrance to the secret plane, unwillingly leaking radiation "
"According to calculations, after 13 years the defensive spells should have totally deteriorated. Leaving the entrance to the secret plane exposed"
"Thusly I pretend to be an ordinary person and bought this building, plus I added a facade on the outside so other Magi couldn't discover this place."
Lancy was listening to the old witch while she was exploring the inside of this building. Her eyes looking at the back of the explaining Old Devil, If one were to remove her mask they will see a sneer formed on her face. The most odd thing is the Vertically Slit Green coloured pupils resembling of a snake, in place of her eyes. Her cold eye were silently mocking the crew in front of her.
She stroked a small ring on her right hand, The ring had 7 small snakes all connected in the middle of the ring, with their tails, Every Snake's mouth was opened and a bright red jewel was embedded in their buccal cavity.
"Follow me! Be careful not to touch the black mold on the walls, those are trigger points!"
