Chapter Two Hundred Forty-One:
After playing with the Heart in her hand, she placed it back into the box.
Then she focused on checking the changes in the other two items.
After a long while, she closed the three boxes again.
The effect of the mental power compression potion can last for seven hours, during which time the mental power will undergo a slow compression phase.
However, after this period, the compressed mental power will burst forth like a spring.
At that time, if Freya has not prepared for a breakthrough, then this surging mental power will be wasted and a portion of her potential will also be lost.
Therefore, during this time, she must either give up the Pistil of the Poison Lizard or directly proceed with a breakthrough.
However, without the Pistil, she would have to advance step by step like an ordinary wizard, which would undoubtedly be the greatest loss for Freya.
After thinking for a moment, Freya raised her right index finger and gently placed it to her lips.
“Grace, do I have any results from the information I requested?”
Grace is one of the apprentices responsible for this area of Sky City Exchange Tower. He was Freya's guide when she was looking for an apothecary and is also an information gatherer.
Any information from the Exchange Tower can be consulted with him, and the information Freya requested was about the Pistil of the Poison Lizard.
As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of Azure Light appeared and disappeared on her fingernail, and the information transmission of the Secret Mark quickly received a response.
It was a relatively young and magnetic voice.
“Hello, Lady Freya. The information you requested has yielded three results during this period.”
“Oh? Three?” Freya was slightly surprised.
The Poison Lizard is not a rare species, and information about this creature is easily obtainable in Freya's expectations, though she did not anticipate there would be so much.
"Truly worthy of the Exchange Tower in Sky City. Can you provide more details?"
"Of course. There are three pieces of information regarding the Poison Lizard. Two of them are from Pistil, who is selling Poison Lizards for around one thousand Magic Stones or an equivalent value in Fire Resources. The last one is an Exploration Mission posted by a First-Level Wizard from Blue Moon Tower regarding the Ancient Underground Secret Realm. The rewards include the Poison Lizard's venom glands, Pistil, skeletal blood, Hurricane Egg, Black Owl's ears, and various materials and knowledge from ancient ruins."
"Ancient Underground Secret Realm?" Freya frowned upon hearing the last part.
She knew that the Crimson Plain was a resource-rich area since Ancient Times, especially underground, with various ruins and abandoned secret realms.
However, most of these belonged to Wizard Organizations as private property, and other wizards did not even have the right to enter.
Of course, some secret realms were so vast or hidden that even Wizard Organizations could not know all of them. These realms became places for some Wizard Organizations or Wandering Wizards to explore.
As for Freya's Crimson Eagle, it certainly had access to some of these locations, but for Freya now, her authority was limited to the Rune Department or basic rights. She would not be involved in developing ruins and secret realms.
Regarding the prices of the first two sales, Freya found them somewhat hard to accept. Of course, selling some items might yield enough funds, but it would still feel like a loss.
After thinking for a moment, she calmly asked Grace.
"What is the area range? What are the specific tasks?"
"The area information has been set to confidential by that wizard; I cannot access it. You will need to contact that wizard yourself. As for the mission, it was posted two days ago as a common resource gathering task. That wizard will cover half of the exploration costs. The team is set at five people, requiring a level of Third-Rank Apprentice or above, with a departure time next Monday."
"It seems they won't disclose the location in advance." Freya understood this well. Moreover, based on the mission's level requirements, it was clear that this secret realm was not very dangerous.
After considering it further, Freya made her decision.
"Grace, give me that wizard's Secret Mark; I will contact him myself."
"Alright, please receive it in one minute."
Standing still, after quietly waiting for a minute, Freya's thumbnail suddenly shimmered.
An intersecting Stiletto mark slowly emerged.
Sensing the spiritual frequency and simple message within, Freya directly connected her mental tendril.
"Hello, I am Freya from Crimson Eagle. May I ask if the number of participants for the Exploration Mission posted at Exchange Tower is sufficient?"
After sending the message, it took a while for a response to come back, likely due to the distance.
"Hello, I am Roy from Blue Moon Tower. We have enough personnel."
"Is that so?" Hearing the response from the other side, Freya raised an eyebrow.
This mission by Grace was released two days ago, so it wasn't surprising to find interested individuals in this timeframe.
However, it wasn't a difficult matter.
Pausing for a moment, she brought her thumb slightly to her lips and spoke sincerely.
"Lord Roy, I need one slot. After obtaining the Pistil from Poison Lizard, I am willing to offer a chance to select an item and give it to you."
At the same time the message was sent, the mark flickered, and soon Roy's voice came through again.
"Alright, it's a deal. We are currently short one slot. Welcome Lady Freya to join us."
"Of course, thank you for your consideration."
Freya smiled slightly.
Even in Cloud City, even with the White Wizard, human nature is still difficult to change.
The secret realm known to Roy from Blue Moon Tower, according to her analysis, is not very difficult, but it is unlikely to be simple either.
Since the level is set at the apprentice level, Freya estimates that there will definitely be differences in strength within it.
Regardless, as an Official Wizard and a member of the great Wizarding Organization, Freya is certainly stronger than an apprentice, and she has offered favorable conditions for this.
If Roy is not a fool, he will definitely accept such an offer.
After their conversation, the mark on Freya's thumb quickly received the specific task information collection point.
After reviewing the information, Freya gently raised her head to look at the large underground laboratory.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Pistil should be secured. Next, it's time to do some things that I haven't had the chance to do before."
Muttering to herself, she walked over to another area where there was a black Metal Experiment Table. In the center of the table was a huge bottle containing Green Liquid, and a black Sphere was slowly floating in the middle.
As if sensing Freya's approach, the Sphere moved slightly, and then with a rip sound, an inverted pupil suddenly opened wide. (To be continued...)
