After purchasing the equipment for the elemental mages, Hughes did not continue to rest. Instead, he turned on the computer in front of him.

Buzz.

With a soft sound, a virtual keyboard was projected onto the table.

Hughes, on the other hand, tapped on the virtual keyboard with both hands. He logged into the mage forum with ease and began to search for relevant information outside San Pedro City.

Half an hour later, Hughes, who had found the information he wanted, leaned back in his chair.

"There are three forests outside of San Pedro City. Among them, there are two forests outside San Pedro City that have natural lightning strikes. They are located near La Calera in the south of San Pedro City and near Saint-Nazaire in the north." Hughes thought to himself.

Lightning usually could only be emitted from nature.

But after the magic attack, the entire blue planet's terrain had undergone a tremendous change.

The change in the terrain also caused many areas to be mined all year round.

Coincidentally, there were two such mined areas near San Pedro City.

"La Calera is more than 200 kilometers away from Anyang city, while Saint-Nazaire is 300 kilometers away. In that case, I'll go to La Calera outside San Pedro City." Hughes made a decision.

The situation in the wilderness outside the two San Pedro cities was similar, and La Calera was closer to the Lach Academy.

If anything happened to the academy, he would be able to return to the academy in time.

"Big brother Hughes, there's something for you." Suddenly, Otis' voice came from downstairs.

"The equipment arrived quite quickly." Hughes smiled slightly, then turned off the computer and walked downstairs.

Just like last time, the person who delivered the goods to his door this time was a tall man in a suit.

However, the box in his hand this time was a little bigger than last time.

"Battle suit, medicine, backpack, demon beast bag."

Returning to his bedroom, Hughes opened the box and counted the items.

"Not bad, these items are all fine."

After verifying the items, Hughes placed the potions and demon beast pouch into his backpack. Then, he went to the training room and placed the purple thunder fire lion demon beast egg inside.

"This time, I hope I can hatch you." Caressing the slightly warm giant purple egg in his backpack, Hughes muttered to himself.

Contracted demon beasts were a great help to mages.

If he had contracted demonic beasts, his hunting efficiency would at least double.

At that time, the speed of obtaining mana points would also increase correspondingly.

The speed of leveling up would also be faster!

After checking once again that the items in his backpack were fine, Hughes entered the bathroom to wash up and then fell asleep peacefully.

The next morning, Hughes got up early and put on his equipment.

He left the school with the purple thunder fire lion egg on his back and boarded the train to La Calera.

...

La Calera was one of the most prosperous base cities in San Pedro.

More than 40 kilometers away from La Calera, there was a wilderness outside the city where demon beasts roamed.

In there, one could obtain demon beast meat, magic cores, and all kinds of herbs and fruits with magical powers!

Hence, a large number of mages gathered here to hunt demon beasts and obtain materials.

The gathering of a large number of mages and the trade of various materials naturally brought about the development of the economy of La Calera.

This was also the reason why La Calera was still so prosperous despite the threat of the invasion of demon beasts.

Forty kilometers away from the city of La Calera, there was a mage base.

This was the last supply station for mages heading to the wilderness outside San Pedro city.

A loud rumbling noise sounded as the train stopped in front of the mage base.

Mages holding magic staff walked out of the train one after another. There were more than twenty people.

These twenty people were naturally divided into three teams. Only a few mages were alone.

Among them was a tall man wearing a dark green mage combat uniform, surrounded by magic books, and carrying a large backpack on his back.

This man was none other than Hughes, who had left the Lach Academy and came to La Calera!

"This is the mage base."

Husk raised his head to look at the building in front of him.

The height of this building was at least 200 meters tall. On the front of the building, the words 'La Calera Mage Base' were inlaid in a flamboyant manner.

And at the top of the building, one could vaguely see a magic array that was emitting strong mana fluctuations.

It seemed to be scouting the movements of the demon beasts outside San Pedro City.

"Since I'm here, I'll go to the mage base to take a look first."

Originally, Hughes' idea was to directly enter the outskirts of San Pedro City.

But regarding the mage base, he was indeed a little curious.

As soon as he stepped into the mage base, a faint fragrance entered his nostrils, refreshing him.

Then, looking around, he could see the entire hall at a glance.

As long as there was a wilderness outside the city, there would be a mage base.

This was also the result of the collaboration of various super clans and financial groups from all over the world.

As the last supply base before the mages entered San Pedro City, the entire building was built to be extremely luxurious.

The ground was made of a special alloy. It was extremely hard and could bear the weight of a huge contracted demon beast.

In the hall, many staff shuttled back and forth. The men were handsome and the women were beautiful and moving.

Other than that, there were also many sofas in the hall. At this moment, there were many mages sitting on them.

Some mages even directly released their contracted demon beasts.

The huge demon beasts looked extremely tall even if they were just lying there.

Most of these contracted demon beasts were around the level of ordinary demon beasts, but there were also lord-tier demon beasts that made him feel a wave of fear.

"This brother is here for the first time in the mage base, right?" Just as Hughes was observing the surroundings of the mage base, a low voice was heard.

He turned around and saw a tall and thin man wearing a gray combat uniform. At this moment, he was looking at Hughes with a smile.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Hughes nodded.

It was reasonable for a newcomer to be discovered as it was his first time here.

"It's nothing. I have a map that records the lord-tier demon beasts outside San Pedro city. I don't know if you want it.

"Oh right, my name is Franklin." The tall man said with a smile, showing great enthusiasm.

"A map of the wilderness outside San Pedro City that records the lord-tier demon beasts?" Hughes raised his eyebrows.

Although he had the ability to remember the appearance and level of some demon beasts if he had a map of the wilderness outside of San Pedro City...

Then he could also go around the areas where the lord-tier demon beasts were entrenched, greatly reducing the danger.

"Can you show it to me first?" Hughes asked.

"Of course."

Franklin tapped on the smartwatch in his right hand, and a map was projected in the air.

"Although this is only one-fifth of the original map, it should be enough for you to see if it's real or fake."
