306 Crew II

Their spaceship successfully docked on the Moon Base! 

From the moment they left the planet and experienced the absence of gravity in outer space, all the magicians were trying to exercise their mana…

That's right! 

They almost didn't have time to enjoy the scenery of the universe because they felt that their connection to the abundant mana in the land has disappeared…

"So, it's really like this…"

"Sigh~ It's a bit scary but we already expected this."

"Well, I just thought that with our strength, we can still feel a bit of mana coming from below…"

"Haha! You wish… Haven't you studied within the virtual world? Our planet was surrounded by a layer of violent mana that could not be used! It not only protects our planet from external forces but it also prevents any leakage of mana coming from the land."

"Hmph! I know that…"

It wasn't just one but most of them were actually worried but they had to act tough in this situation. They were all proud magicians and were trained within the virtual world so they have to learn how to control themselves.

Although they can only use the mana they have within their bodies right now, it shouldn't be a problem since they have an abundant supply of mana stones, and all of them had received a reward from the game. 

Clap! Clap!

"Alright, everyone… We have to meet the creator now…"

Tyrone clapped his hands to get the attention of all the magicians present. All of them were now wearing a fitted spacesuit made of enchanted and advanced technology materials. 

Some of them laughed after hearing this. It feels like they were about to meet their end

Anyway, he only said this jokingly.

"Hahaha… That's right… Let's see what kind of job he'll assign to us…"

"I want to have a sightseeing first…"

"Hey, we're not here for a vacation…"

The fifty magicians present may not be considered the strongest bunch but they have passed all the tests that Wallace and Avalon had conducted. It means that they have talents or skills that were needed in this developing territory. 

Some magicians were good in combat, some were good in machinery, and there were those who excel in controlling mana. Of course, the latter were the ones who completed the Arcane Baptism for some time now. 

Tyrone and the others got off the spaceship and were brought by assisting automatons to a gathering hall where Wallace was waiting for their arrival. 

On the other hand, the man in question was still working even when their spaceship landed. Only until he was informed that they were gathered did he stop from being busy with the unending work that was needed to be done. 

"Veda… Have you found a way for the Arians to survive in mana?"

[ Not yet. It's impossible with your orders not killing them. ]

"Tsk… Is there no other way?"

"In short, they have to live in that armor in order to live here, huh… Sigh~ How many sacrifices do you need?"

[ Twenty-- ] 

"That's too much."

[ Alright, give me ten Arians to experiment on. ] 

"Very well… I'll have to attend something. I'll leave it to you."

[ Okay. ]

Wallace's mind was simple. He wanted to learn the genetic enhancement required for a foreign entity to live in this world. If he knows something like that, it may prove useful in the future. After all, he was expecting that the army to be sent by the Empire would be capable of living here. 

Veda, who was an A.I. made for medical purposes, should be capable of analyzing this if it had enough sample.

He couldn't use himself as a sample as he had the Cube of Paradox's help to survive. He doubts that the Empire would have tons of them to be used by the army to survive in the magic earth.

"Haa~ That should be enough for now… Avalon, how are the newly arrived magicians?"

[ Everyone managed to safely arrive and are getting used to their current environment. I gave them some time to observe the surroundings of the base and they should be ready to meet you now. ] 

"I see… Thank you, Avalon."

Wallace then went to the designated area where the magicians had gathered. 

As soon as he stood in front of the small stage, the crowd went silent and waited for his words. 

He found some of them very familiar and he couldn't help but smile seeing them. 

Everyone was aware of the danger of coming here and was given an option to just stay in the country… 

That's right, no one was forced to come here and sacrifice themselves for humanity. 

Although he made the game to be able to easily convince the magicians and help him, he never had the thought of instilling to their minds that they have to obey him… 

'Anyway… I just have to be a good leader so they won't regret coming here…'

Wallace thought after seeing the expectant gazes of the magicians.

"This might be late but I would like to thank everyone for coming up until here."

He doesn't really much have to say as their work will be distributed by Avalon a little while later. 

"Since you've arrived here to work and battle, you will discover a lot of my secrets. If you have any questions, you can ask the nearest automatons that you can find to answer your questions. I would like everyone to grow with me and find themselves getting better after staying here for a while…"

Wallace paused as he took a deep breath.

"Unfortunately, your stay here in the Moon Base would only be for a short time as we will soon embark on a journey…"

"Oooh!"

"That's great!"

"Amazing… So we'll really be assigned to various combat spaceships, right?"

"How about our ranks?"

"Maybe, the creator will base it on our achievement within the game."

"Huu~ So it's really happening, huh."

Most of them had only whispered but Wallace heard them very clearly. He didn't need magic to do that as his senses were extremely sharp in the first place.

They all arrived in one passenger spaceship but they all know through the game that they will be separated and assigned to different combat spaceships after completing their "missions" or "daily task" within the Moon Base. 

What Wallace had said just confirmed their thoughts. After getting used to space and completing some tasks here in the base, they will have to embark somewhere to fulfill their purpose in coming here.

Based on the Alian Invasion: Moon Project, they might be assigned to space mining or hunting space pirates but in this reality, they were expecting to face the rumored invaders… 

Everyone took a deep breath as they remembered the virtual world.
