Gravity Mage with Level-Up System Chapter 2018: Part 1: Cemetery Case
Previously on Gravity Mage with Level-Up System...
Blue Heart City
After having a conversation with Manager Lara, I slept peacefully.
The next morning, I woke up early. I began to do my morning routine. I finished the morning routine in an hour. Then I waited for the zero puppet to appear.
10 minutes later,
A red smoke entered the room through the window gap. The zero puppet then turned into its original form. Next, our conversation started.
Time passed.
I learned from the zero puppet about the City Lord of the Blue Heart City. I didn’t expect the City Lord to be a female Supreme Wizard. Furthermore, she is connected to the Water Element Magic Tower.
I had no problem with this Tower. Yet, their spies had tried to collect information a few times. Unlike the Green Elemental Tower and the Flame Elemental Tower, I had no enmity with them.
I think they won’t cause problems for me either. Suddenly, I recalled the warning given by Manager Lara.
She had warned me to be careful of other Magic Towers. But I know that Wizard Remi from the Magic Tower was causing problems for me.
Apart from him, I don’t think anyone else is after my life. Besides, no one knows that I’m Vincent Carey. For others, I’m Appraiser Frank.
I did well by hiding my members inside the Gregor Mansion when meeting the wizards from the Silver Tower. They didn’t know about Appraiser Frank and his members.
Then I continued to listen to the zero puppet. I realized that City Lord Elan doesn’t seem to be bad. She may not know about the enemy force.
After I finished listening to the report, I looked toward the zero puppet. The zero puppet made my life easier. Otherwise, I would have had to explore by myself to collect intel.
Because of the zero puppet, I had time to pay attention to my own practice. Then I thought of the cemetery. In the first city, they dug up graves to collect Wizard corpses.
I said, "Everything looks good. But we have missed one place. Check out the cemetery of this city. If someone is digging up graves, then we may get a clue."
Hearing that, the zero puppet obeyed the order. It has all the information stored in its database. Next, it left through the gap in the window.
When the zero puppet was gone from the place, I entered the system space. I came to the middle and sat cross-legged on the ground.
Then I took the super grade mana stones out. I held a few of them in my hand and began to run the Gravity Ark Mental Method.
The gravity mana entered my body. I began to circulate the gravity mana as per the route mentioned in the method.
After circulation, the gravity mana entered the mana core space. The gravity mana core inside the mana core space began to absorb the gravity mana.
Seeing that, I continued to repeat the process.
Outside,
Otto, Patrick, Hank, and old man Rock began to get ready as usual. Then they decided to explore the city like yesterday.
Time passed,
The zero puppet, in its red smoke form, found the cemetery. But there was more than one cemetery. Because the city is developing, the population is increasing day by day.
The land size is decreasing. So, the city has one more land for a new cemetery.
The zero puppet in the red smoke form flew over each graveyard one after another. All of the graves seemed to be undisturbed.
Just as the zero puppet in the red smoke form decided to leave the cemetery, it saw fresh, wet sand. After seeing that, the zero puppet went to the spot to check.
Because it was located in a remote corner of the land, the place seemed to be surrounded by old graves.
When the red smoke arrived there, it saw evidence of grave robbery. The grave was gone, leaving nothing except a deep pit. The red smoke began to look around the place.
Finally, it saw broken pieces of a tombstone. The zero puppet began to collect the broken pieces and join them together. Then it saw a few words.
The zero puppet read the information showing that the tombstone belonged to a Magic Lord. The zero puppet recorded the information. Then it began to explore the whole cemetery.
I especially began to read the information on the tombstones. But they were not Magic Lords. There were other gravesites without tombstones.
But it could not confirm whether these graves were the graves of Magic Lords. The zero puppet then left the cemetery. It went toward the next cemetery.
It didn’t take long for the zero puppet to reach the other cemetery. The zero puppet entered the cemetery and began to search the entire place.
Likewise, there were Magic Lord graves that were dug open. The graves were robbed. The zero puppet collected the information.
Then it searched the whole cemetery again. There were many undisturbed graves, but there were not many tombstones.
The zero puppet next left the cemetery. It went back to the hotel.
...
Blue Drop Hotel.
After ending my practice, I appeared in the room. Next, I went to the bathroom to take a shower. The shower lasted for 20 minutes.
After coming out, I changed into comfortable clothes. Then I sat down on the sofa and began to watch the news on the big screen.
As usual, the news was about the city’s business.
Just as I was watching the news, the zero puppet entered the room through the window gap.
It returned to its original form.
"Master, I have found evidence of grave robberies of Magic Lord tombs," the zero puppet said.
"There are dug-up graves of Magic Lords in two different graveyards," it added.
Hearing that, I raised my eyebrows in surprise. I had genuinely thought that this city was safe.
"How much time has passed?" I asked.
"It appears to have happened a few days ago at least," the zero puppet replied.
"Okay, you did a good job," I said to the puppet.
Then I asked about the location. The zero puppet gave me the locations. I decided to check out the two places by myself.
Grave robbery is not a small thing. If I could find some clues, it would be useful.
