Saradin was eager to befriend Freya due to her diverse and extensive Basic Knowledge, and he held no grudges against her for not being an Official Wizard.
Of course, this attitude of focusing on the matter rather than the person was precisely what Freya appreciated.
"Have you found anything?" Freya asked as she withdrew her gaze from the Sun Serpent Flower.
This referred to the information about the two fragments of maps she had asked Saradin to investigate. Initially, she had planned to look into it herself, but after going through three books from the Base Library related to history, she realized she had underestimated the significance of the information on these maps.
Although there wasn't much information specifically about that location, she still had a vague sense that the details related to wizards.
It is important to note that once it involves matters concerning wizards, ordinary records do not provide clear documentation; only the secret archives of the resident academy contain such information. That was why she entrusted Saradin, and given her personality, he was one of the few people Freya could choose to trust.
"Well... I found something. About a hundred years ago, there seems to have been a branch of a Wizard Organization in the area you provided. However, the specific large organization is not detailed in the records."
"Oh? Is it a ruin?" Upon hearing Saradin's response, Freya's eyes brightened slightly.
"Hehe, an organization’s remnants from a hundred years ago can't really be called ruins. However, according to the records, it seems this organization's remnants have never been discovered by others. If you can find the entrance to the Wizard's Realm, you might just find something valuable," Saradin glanced at Freya and smiled. "You seem close to reaching your peak, right? I was also busy searching for resources at your age."
Freya nodded slightly and did not deny it. "Yes, I do want to take a look inside. After all, if I were to convert what I need for my promotion into Magic Stones, it would be completely unaffordable for me right now."
"Hehe, that's true. However, although this aimless search doesn't cost anything, it does come with dangers related to location. Are you really sure about this?"
"Yes." Freya remained silent but solemnly nodded.
"Alright then, since that's the case, I'll give you all the information from our resident database regarding that area. If you find anything valuable inside, don't forget about me," Saradin said with a smile.
"Of course," Freya said with a smile.
Most wizards believe in Equivalent Exchange. Since Freya showed these two fragments of the map to Saradin, it meant she was ready for them to share, and with the information provided by Saradin, it would certainly be a great help for her current mission.
It should be noted that Elgreen has stood tall for a thousand years. Although it has started to decline slowly, it still holds significant weight compared to some newly emerging large organizations, and the information available at their base is definitely clearer and more precise than that from other places.
She picked up one of the drinks on the table. After taking a gentle sip, a light creamy fragrance filled her mouth.
Freya squinted her eyes slightly in enjoyment; this drink was specially prepared by Saradin. Only those close to her could enjoy such treatment.
As she savored the texture in her mouth, Freya put down her cup, as if recalling something, and suddenly opened her eyes.
"By the way, Saradin, do you know if there have been any recent movements from the Blue Eagle Nest?"
"Blue Eagle Nest? I was just thinking about that. It seems like those guys have been quite subdued lately; I haven't heard anything from them for four or five days, nor have they caused us any trouble," Saradin said, tapping his forehead thoughtfully. "Oh right, even though those guys haven't been up to much lately, something did happen in Katia City."
"What happened?" Freya blinked and asked with curiosity.
The reason she proactively asked Saradin about the Blue Eagle Nest was actually to indirectly gauge the consequences of killing those three individuals.
"Heh heh, I almost forgot that you've been in your room and might not know this. It's a big deal that shook the entire Katia City. Do you know about the Mercenary Guild branch in the city? A week ago, all the leaders of the Mercenary Guild vanished overnight. The empty hall even shocked the lord of Katia City enough to come check it out."
"A week ago, they all vanished?" Hearing Saradin's words, Freya frowned slightly. "This must be the work of some wizard."
"Of course, I participated in the investigation at the invitation of Count Romando. Although everything was handled very cleanly there, I could still sense a chilling atmosphere throughout the Mercenary Guild. Even without any residual Energy Particles, the heavy resentment must have been caused by the wizards from the Necromancy Department," Saradin affirmed.
"The wizards from the Necromancy Department..." Freya suddenly recalled Leander the Mentor from her academy days, whose gaze treated any life as mere test subjects. It seemed that if an entire Mercenary Guild were to disappear, it would likely be the work of someone like him.
After a moment of thought, she said, "This kind of massacre involving the mortal world is probably the doing of some wandering Necromancer. After all, a Wizard Organization wouldn't engage in such acts."
"I think so too. Interestingly, after that incident, the people from Blue Eagle Nest seem to have settled down quite a bit. However, I estimate that these two events probably don't have any necessary connection," Saradin analyzed.
"Heh, maybe. It could be that someone from the Mercenary Guild inadvertently angered a wandering Necromancer and faced retaliation."
"That's not impossible. You see, wizards who specialize in the Necromancy Department are either forced into it during their apprenticeship or are those with some sort of mental instability," Saradin said with a slight curl of her lip. She herself was a wizard of Plant Energy, which was in stark contrast to the Negative Energy of Necromancers.
Freya nodded in agreement.
Then Saradin waved her hand. "Enough about that. When do you plan to set off? I happen to have some things that might help you."
"Probably in the next two or three days," Freya thought for a moment and replied. "After I finish my research and prepare, I'll leave. The resources I brought from the academy are nearly exhausted, and my mental energy is about to enter a stagnation period. If my progress slows down, I'm afraid it will affect my promotion."
