Chapter 197
Puls Street.
A mage was waiting anxiously.
Ever since Jeff entered, he had lost contact with the mage. Even the investigative mages could not sense his existence.
In such a situation, it was very likely that he had lost his life.
However, Jeff was very powerful.
Even in the Association branch, he was a very high-ranking existence. There was no reason for him to die just like that!
Could it be… that they were wrong?
Was this strange creature in front of them actually very powerful?
This seemed to be the only reasonable answer.
Moreover, the strength displayed by this blood spirit flower was also very astonishing. In just a few minutes, the entire Puls Street was about to be covered by the pollen Domain.
If this continued, it was likely that it would completely disperse to other streets.
Just as he was extremely anxious.
A few black dots appeared in the sky.
The mage looked carefully, and the black dots kept enlarging. It was an acquaintance!
“Captain Pine! Over Here!”
He was extremely pleasantly surprised. Someone had finally come.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A few figures landed, and one of them with red hair was his captain Pine.
“Where’s Jeff?”
“Why isn’t he here?”
After landing, Pine immediately scanned the surroundings, but he did not find Jeff.
“He… he…”
Seeing the mage apprentice in front of him stuttering, a thought quickly flashed through Pine’s mind, and he asked anxiously, “what happened to him?”
“Could it be… he went in?”
Pine asked, and then saw the other party nod.
Immediately, pine cursed angrily.
“Shit!”
“He didn’t even understand the situation, yet he actually dared to go in like this. To think that he stayed in the Association for so long, he doesn’t even have a brain!”
“Where is he now? Can the investigation team still sense him?”
Although Pine asked this question, in reality, he no longer had any expectations.

Sure enough, the mage apprentice opposite him shook his head. “Jeff said that this strange creature’s Domain is Puls Street, and he can handle it. I don’t know why, but not long after we entered, we completely lost track of him.”
“Bullshit!”
Pine said angrily, “who told him that the Domain is Puls Street? That’s the strange creature from the Black Swamp!”
“If I’m not wrong, the scene displayed by the Domain should be the Black Swamp. It can’t be the Puls Street!”
What?!
The mage apprentice across from him was shocked.
Black Swamp?!
Coase City was very close to the Black Swamp. Many of the people here knew the dangers of the Black Swamp.
If it really was the Black Swamp, then would Jeff not be…
The mage apprentice was shocked. A powerful mage was gone just like that… was this not too dangerous? Should he resign?
“Forget it, forget it.”
Pine said, “it’s all his fault for being greedy.”
“Do you think I don’t know? He just wants to take this strange creature Domain, then replace me, or climb over my head…”
“Hmph… serves him right!”
The mage apprentice did not dare to interrupt.
After a while, the mage apprentice realized that there was another person standing next to captain Pine.
He did not recognize him.
It should not be someone from the branch of the Mage Association in Coase City.
Was it someone from the headquarters?
Or was it captain Pine’s friend?
Just as he was thinking about this, captain Pine looked at that person and said, “this is Mr. Lyle from the Hanluo Sect. He’s very powerful. Can you tell him about the situation here?”
Hanluo Sect?
The mage apprentice was shocked. He looked at Lyle with admiration.
That was a sect that had been passed down for a long time.
Perhaps, its history was even older than their Mage Association.

It was said that the mages from the Hanluo Sect were at least C+ rank mages, and the ones that occupied the most were B rank mages.
One had to know that in the branch of the Mage Association in Coase City, only captain Pine had barely reached grade B.
I wonder what grade this Mr. Lyle is at now?
The mage apprentice secretly guessed.
He immediately went up to explain the current situation to Mr. Lyle.
After listening to the introduction.
Lyle looked at the pollen ring in front of him, his eyes burning with passion. “This is the so-called Domain… it’s really good stuff!”
Just as he finished speaking.
Behind him, Pine’s expression changed slightly.
Domain!
This was something that all mages dreamed of.
This thing was not just a small increase in strength.
As long as a B rank mage had a Domain, they would not be afraid even if they faced a B+ rank mage. There was even a high possibility that they could use the Domain to kill the other party.
Moreover, as long as he killed or made the monsters with a Domain submit, he could obtain a Domain.
It was very easy to obtain.
The only flaw was that there were too few strange creatures with a Domain.
Even if there were ten strange creatures, it would be difficult to find one that had a Domain.
After being in the Mage Association for so many years, he had dealt with all kinds of strange creatures, big and small. This was the only one that he had encountered that had a Domain.
When he had heard about this in the branch, he had been overjoyed.
He immediately put aside the matter at hand and prepared to rush over.
Unfortunately, the members of the Hanluo Sect happened to be in the branch.
At the same time, Lyle had also inadvertently heard the news and had come along.
On the way here, he had been very worried.
Would Lyle fight with him for this Domain.
It would be fine if he did not.
But if he did, he would have to find an opportunity to kill Lyle.
But to kill Lyle, he would have to pay a great price, and he could not be seen.
Lyle was from the Hanluo Sect after all.
It was a big sect.
Although it was not like the Mage Association, which had branches in every city, the strength of the Hanluo Sect was not to be underestimated.
At the very least, Pine felt that he could not afford to offend them.
If he killed Lyle and was seen by others, the Hanluo Sect would definitely come for him.
Pine was plotting in his heart.
He thought for a long time and decided that when he reached the Domain, he would wait until both Lyle and the strange creature were injured before he would take action to kill both of them.
“Pine, let’s go in.”
At this moment, Lyle spoke.
“Okay.”
Pine agreed in order to not let the other party doubt him.
He took a step forward and instructed, “the few of you, stay here and keep watch. Don’t let anyone in.”
After saying that, the two of them directly stepped into the pollen circle and disappeared.
Whoosh!
The mage apprentice heaved a sigh of relief.
In front of Mr. Lyle from the Hanluo Sect, he was under a lot of pressure.
“Eh?”
“What’s that?”
The Mage Apprentice saw a shadow appear on Puls Street. When he saw that it was a silhouette, he was puzzled.
Was there not someone guarding outside?
Why would they let an ordinary person in?
The mage apprentice walked forward, preparing to let the other party leave. However, after taking a few steps, he saw the silhouette clearly. His eyes immediately became fearful.

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
