308 Worries (1/2)

Ace was interested in this Mind Stones affected by unknown energy. Based on Shreguc's story, they were assaulted by this unknown energy for a while before it suddenly vanished as the stones had absorbed this energy.

Veda wasn't helping Avalon in this thing's investigation and it was solely being worked on by the latter. It wasn't because Ace doesn't want to but Veda's processing speed in this far away place could not be compared when they are on land.

”Avalon, any updates about the Mind Stones?”

Ace asked the floating sphere or the A.I. after a week of investigation. They had to be careful in handling the space mines since it might accidentally explode during the tests.

[ The traces of energy was 90% similar to Mana found in the Magic Earth. ]

”I knew it… A Mana, and it was found in outer space… How did this happen?”

Ace couldn't understand how this energy came here. But whatever the reason is, it should be related to the wormhole where they found it. It was also the closest wormhole from the planet there must be a connection.

”Right, I told Veda to at least try gathering information about the mind stones from the Arians while he was doing some experiments with them. Are there any reports?”

[ Yes. It seems that they already agreed to provide information in exchange for better living conditions. Veda recorded everything and sent a report. ]

”Send it to me… Also, can you monitor the experiments happening in the country?”

[ What experiments? ]

”About some human experimentation that involves Aether. It should be happening in the country funded by Veda and the Zairus Magician's Congress or probably the Ministry of Magic…”

[ Affirmative. ]

Ace ended the conversation as he needed to attend to the newly arrived magicians.

Right now, their group has boarded different combat spaceships and was traveling to visit the Lagrange Point where the Omen IV was.

The magicians were unaware of what to see in that place but they know that a station was already set up in that place and they were there to bring supplies.

”Would it be too much for them to see a different race?”

Ace asked himself suddenly. He has been educated since he was young about the many races in the vast universe so he was never surprised to see them but instead fascinated whenever he sees one.

However, these magicians never had a concept of other races until his virtual game was launched.

”Right, this is the reason I made the virtual game… They should've adjusted their mind already.”

Ace tried to think positively. He remembered when he first saw a different intelligent race in outer space that doesn't look like a human, it was such a novel experience and couldn't be described in words.

He observed the magicians through various monitors in his spacecraft. They were all looking excited and roaming around the spaceship. Some were at the observation decks to appreciate the beauty of outer space.

[ Communication Request from Hilda Calem… ]

Wallace's thoughts were interrupted after his communication device notified him.

”Hilda? Alright, connect it…”

”Hello? Senior Wallace?”
