Chapter 1285 New location
True Elements Society:
The Magical Creature Red Crow is looking for the target in the Main City but has failed to find the culprit even after searching for hours.
The red crow felt defeat for the first time. It had never failed its owner's orders before. Its human-like eyes flickered. Then it decided to wait at the Teleportation Platform of the Main City.
The following day,
The red crow had been active the whole night, but it saw no sign of the target. The red crow continued to hide there unless it was called back by the owner. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire

From MC's Perspective:
Inside Gregor Mansion, I opened my eyes. Then I recalled everything that had happened to me. It still feels like a dream, but I knew it was reality. I'm no longer in the True Elements Society.
After pushing down the thoughts, I began to check my injury. The wound caused by the weird bird claw was healed. I didn't feel weak anymore.
With a thought, I summoned the status panel. After checking that my status had recovered to its peak, I sighed in relief. Then I dismissed the status panel.
"Where am I?" My eyes flickered.
Now, I remembered that I was stuck in space turbulence.
[Ding! Notification]
[Host has already arrived at the new location.]
The system voice sounded in my mind.
"What?"
"I'm already in a new location," I blurted out in surprise.
Swoosh!
The next second, I sprinted toward the control room. When I got there, my gaze immediately fell on the control mirror. I saw that the outside area was full of forest. There were no buildings there.
"It's good," I uttered.
If I had happened to appear in the middle of the city, it would have attracted unwanted attention. Now that I'm in an unknown forest, I could keep my secret.
"System, what happened?" I asked the system in my mind.
[Host, the Gregor Mansion drifted inside space turbulence before arriving here!]
The system answered in my mind. My eyes gleamed with twinkles. Apart from getting the system, my next big encounter was the Gregor Mansion. Then it was the Zero Puppet.
Thinking about the Zero Puppet, a good idea came to mind.
"Why don't I send the Zero Puppet to explore the place first?" I asked in my heart.
The more I thought about it, the more it felt right. Who knows what place this actually is? It could be the headquarters of any wizard organization. If it is, then I have infiltrated their territory.
Thinking about it, I felt a chill.
"I hope it's not true," I muttered to myself.
Then I went to the Zero Puppet. I filled its slot with mana stones.
Buzz!@@novelbin@@
With that mana core in place, the puppet came to life.
"Master," the Zero Puppet greeted.
"Zero, we are in a new location. Investigate the area. If there is any danger, you should return first," I ordered the puppet.
"Accepted," Zero said.
Swoosh!
Then I grabbed the shoulder of the puppet before appearing outside. The place was full of green vegetation surrounded by trees.
The mana concentration in the surroundings was similar to that of the True Elements Society. A quick gleam appeared in my eyes.
"Zero, you should return before your energy runs out," I said.
"Agreed," the Zero Puppet said before disappearing in a flash.
At the same time, I decided to stay here. The system will warn me if anyone appears.

The Perry Family:
The Magic Lord Callen was discussing with Senior Caleb. He couldn't wait to hear the report.
Old man Caleb opened his eyes and ordered the magical creature to return.
Seeing that, Callen's eyes shone. He knew that the Perry Family was under huge pressure right now. His son Rhys Perry's whereabouts were unknown.
Along with him, Elder Aaron Perry was missing as well.
Nobody knew what happened to them. Their activities had been a secret. Even he was left clueless.
On the other hand, his other son, the current family head Cooper, was facing problems ever since his grandson's death was disclosed.
The other Aristocratic Families were demanding answers. They were not even helping them to find the killer. They watched from the sidelines, wanting a magic war between the True Elements Society and the Perry Family.
No matter how strong he was, he was not stupid. Despite being the Magic Lord, he wanted to gather evidence. Only then could he justify his future actions.
If any Magic Lord was found to be unlawful and evil, the Ancient Redwood Country wouldn't sit back and watch. Then the entire country would isolate the person and his organization.
He didn't want to leave his Perry Family with no choice.
Shortly afterward,
A void appeared, and the red crow stepped out of it. The next second, the void disappeared as if it had never appeared in the first place.
Callen's thoughts returned to reality. He couldn't wait to hear the report from the magical creature.
Old man Caleb began to communicate with the Magical Creature. As time passed, the expression on old man Caleb's face turned ugly.
A few minutes later,
"You failure," he uttered, nearly wanting to slap the magical creature to death.
"Senior," Callen was shocked by his outburst.
He didn't know what they had talked about, but he thought that the result was not good.
Old man Caleb lost face. He had hoped to brag about his magical creature but hadn't expected it to fail the mission.
The red magical creature was petrified. It didn't expect its owner to get this angry. It was its first failure as well.
Swoosh!
Before the red crow could think further, it was taken back by Magic Lord Caleb.
Old man Caleb furrowed his eyebrows. He sighed inwardly before replying, "Callen, I'm sorry. The red crow has failed to capture that kid."
After saying that, he started explaining what the red crow had told him.
About 16 minutes later,
Callen's eyes turned cold. He didn't expect a powerful magical creature capable of using void magic to be unable to complete the mission.
He was starting to think that someone else had helped that kid to escape. Otherwise, it was impossible for the red crow to fail, as it could bypass the Magic Lord's restrictions to enter the True Elements Society.
"Callen, I think someone else is helping that kid. Only one magical existence can defeat the magic crow," Caleb said in a solemn tone.
Hearing that, Callen's eyes flickered.
He uttered, "Magic Lord."
Old man Caleb nodded to him.
"If that's true, then the Head of the True Elements Society has returned," Callen said.
Caleb thought of something before saying, "It's not too late. I can still assist you. Let's go and confront that bastard."
Hearing that, Callen shook his head.
"Senior, the True Elements Society's foundation is deep. I don't know its actual strength."
"In the Ancient Redwood Country, the Wizard Organization needs strong evidence before waging war against another organization."
"That's why I wanted that kid alive, so I could use him against the True Elements Society. But it's a pity, someone else is protecting that kid," Callen said with a sigh.
He was now at a dead end. He didn't know what to do next. He was sure of the magical creature's ability. Even the powerful magical creature had failed.
"Why don't we send someone inside the organization to capture that kid?" Old man Caleb asked.
Hearing that, Callen replied, "I have been thinking about it. But intel has shown that the kid was staying inside the Special Mage Department. He is not even staying in his dorm."
"So paranoid," Caleb uttered in surprise.
"That's what's keeping that kid alive. Otherwise, we would have killed him long ago for destroying our decade-old plans," Callen replied.
"Do you have any other ideas?" Caleb asked.
Callen shook his head before thinking about something. He suddenly asked, "Senior, my son and our family elder went missing. Their current whereabouts are unknown. But their life artifacts are intact, which means they are alive."
"But I just don't know where they are," he added.
"Hmmm, if you want to find a missing person, there are ways, including both white and black magic. But both are equally expensive," Caleb replied.
Callen was not stupid. He knew what Senior Caleb was thinking about, but he wanted to know the cheaper options from him.
Caleb saw Callen's reaction and saw through his thoughts.
"There are less expensive ways. You can try asking experts in the field of magic," Caleb replied.
"Senior, what about your magical creature?" Callen asked.
Caleb shook his head before answering, "You need magical footprints for that. But your son has been missing for a couple of days."
"The magical footprints must have disappeared. So you need to try another method," he added.
Hearing that, Callen felt disappointment.

Special Mage Department:
Classes were going on. In Vincent Carey's department, everyone noticed that he was absent. But no one was surprised.
Everyone knew that Vincent Carey was different compared to other wizard students, so they thought he must have gone to the library.
At the same time, Elder Paul Lin didn't notice Vincent Carey's absence. He thought Vincent Carey was attending class.
What do you think?
