Picking up Girls With My System-Chapter 277 Re encounter
The entire continent went to chaos after multiple cities suffered from attacks from dark mages, but none of those cities fell, as the schools and the wanderer mages got together to fight against that threat!
Laura, Jeremy and Richard passed through multiple villages and cities before arriving at their destiny, and they saw how gloomy everyone looked.
News traveled fast, especially with so many mages running away, spreading the word. In no time, almost everyone who lived on the central continent knew about the dire situation they would soon face.
It took them a few days to reach the spot Arthur told them to go. Laura and the others were worried throughout the entire journey, afraid that something had happened to Arthur, or with their school.
“Now all we can do is wait…” Laura said, looking down, scared, thinking about the worst scenarios possible.
Arthur kept following them during the entire journey, looking to protect them in case anything dangerous happened. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦m
Although a few mages and bandits attacked them during their journey, they were weak and easily dealt by the three tenth circle mages. They did not need a helping hand, so Arthur kept himself in the shadows, gathering more information while also chasing them.
With his superior power, it was easier to get hold of such informations. He heard a few mages talk about the alliance the dark mage schools had, with a common goal; take control of the central continent!
But it was not as easy as it sounded. Although they had a success in the first few days, the other powers of the central continent never discarded such possibility, which meant they were ready in case a war broke inside the continent.
Everyone was on the same side now, putting away their differences to fight against their common enemy. Arthur knew he would have to play a big role in the upcoming war to guarantee their win, or else those mages who use the dark arts could destroy everything!
“Where is he? We spent a day here, yet there is no sign of him!” Jeremy said.
It had been a day since they arrived at the place Arthur marked on the map, which was in the middle of nowhere inside a forest.
They thought he had marked the wrong place, as they were not seeing anything special about the place. All of them got more worried after each second, but then a familiar voice entered inside their eyes, making them wake up to reality once again.
“Waiting for me, losers?”
“Arthur!”
The three mages knew Arthur was someone strong, but fighting against multiple Official Mages was something ordinary people could not do.
Hell, depending on the amount of rank 1 mages, even a rank 2 Official Mage would not stand a chance, yet Arthur was there, alive and well.
For them, it was a victory. They knew Arthur would play a huge role in the war, so losing him was not an option.
Laura went running toward him as soon as she heard his voice, giving him a tight hug! Only after a few seconds, she realized her reaction was a bit too much, therefore stopping the hug moment.
“Took you long enough. Now, tell me, where are we? I see nothing special about this place.”
Jeremy and Richard saw how Laura’s face was as red as a tomato, and the two of them used a lot of strength to hold their laughs in front of her.
“You will soon know. Follow me.”
Arthur was happy to see that these people cared about him. He waved for them to follow him, leaving the forest, going toward a mountain range not that far from it.
They saw it just like an ordinary mountain, as they could not see a single thing, but Arthur knew it was the place where a famous place was being built, and that was Odemore!
Jane and Wisa had already set up a few formations around the area, making it impossible for outsiders to see anything on that mountain. Only after getting really close they would see it!
Arthur knew about that because they had told him about it.
“Now that we are close, then you may know. This is a new school in progress, built by my two beautiful wives!”
When he said that, both Jeremy and Richard poked him and said, “wives? How many do you have? Aren’t you too young for that?”
He ignored them and kept going up in that mountain range. It was a beautiful place with lots of trees around it. No one would see it from afar and think there was civilization there, but Odemore was there.
The reason Jane and Wisa chose the place was because it was relatively far from any other school, but still somewhat close to a city, making it easier for them to get supplies.
Not only that, but the mana concentration on that mountain range was quite good. It was slightly worse than those top 10 schools, but it did not lose by a lot.
Also, Arthur planned on somehow increasing the mana of the surrounding area with the usage of magical formations, as well as planting magical trees.
It was not impossible to do that, but the increase would be gradual, and it would take quite a few years for that mountain range to be at a similar level of the top schools.
Arthur was not in a hurry, though, as he knew lots of years would pass before he could eventually leave the planet.
After they reached almost the top of the mountain, Arthur saw it! A group of small cabins, and a bigger building being built not that far from those houses.
“Who is there?”
Just like always, Arthur did not warn them about his arrival, making both of his wives surprised to see him there, but happy.
“Husband!”
Similar to what Laura did, both Jane and Wisa ran toward him for a hug and a few kisses. Jeremy and Richard could not believe Arthur had such beautiful and powerful wives!
For them, they were worlds apart, having the power of Official Mages, just like Arthur.
“Darling, this is Jeremy, Richard and Laura. They are from the school I am currently in, and also the survivors of an attack…”
“Attack? You mean the dark mages who are causing terror around the continent?” Wisa said.
“Did you hear about it?”
“Only recently, like yesterday, when we went to the city to get more supplies for our building. You see these cabins? They are for the workers who are building the main part of Odemore.”
“That is great!”
They all went inside the cabin where Jane and Wisa lived, sharing everything they knew about the situation.
Arthur would only stay there for a few days before eventually returning to the One Hundred Thunder Academy, as he would be important in the upcoming war.
“Don’t worry about us, husband. This place is away from everything, and we are strong! Plus, Sully had grown in this time you did not see him, becoming stronger than the average Official Mage!”
“Sully, who is that?” Laura said, clueless about most of the things Arthur and his wives talked about.
“Sully is my pet.”
“A pet stronger than an official mage. why am I not surprised?”
