61: Surprise

"No problem! We are considered friends and comrades in arms as we have gone through missions together, this is the least I could do.

Let's do it like this, when you come to the subterranean city you can send a message to my crystal ball and set a place and time for the meeting, we will discuss it then.

Also tell Karon and Jill about my departure late and apologize on my stead that as I had to go in a hurry I couldn't personally meet them, as for Freya I have already told her" Wade replied.

"Okay, no problem. As for your request for all the information I have, there is no problem in that as well.

So where should I start, Yes do you know the biological life that is supposedly the one that rules the subterranean world." Sam asked.

" From what I understand it should be the dark elves who believe in the Abyss Mother as their goddess" Wade replied.

"Yes, Abyss Mother is the one that they pray too. The dark elves have a very high level of compatibility with the darkness, soul and the earth elements.

From this information alone you can see why they prefer the subterranean world as their home and battleground.

The ride various kinds of dark creatures and fight with is with their help. They have various forms of enhancement spells that help them enhance their beasts during a fight.

They are more of an assassin based fighters while their creatures behave like a tank for them. This is a way of describing them I learned from the games I played in the mortal cities

Other than all this what you have to pay the most attention to are the colonial based dark creatures in the subterranean world, as if there is ever a beast tide they are the ones you have to look after" Sam recited all he knew.

"Ok, thanks. When you arrive with your team to the subterranean city remember to message me. Also one last question, what is the name of the city?" Wade asked.

Till now he had been talking to everyone but he had not seen anyone of them mention its name so he was quite puzzled.

"Oh! this!! Hahaha! I also asked this question when I first learned everything. That is why I laughed, as for your answer it is called the Black Sub-city" Sam answered with a smile.

"Thanks" Wade understood why Sam laughed, it was because of the naming sense of the dean of the Academy.

'He really loves black doesn't he, don't tell me that he even wears black underwear' Wade thought inwardly.

After completing his meeting with Sam, Wade went towards Mike's room to meet him personally as they had discussed yesterday.

It didn't take long for him to reach Mike's room. Standing in front of the door he knocked twice before waiting for Mike to open, it didn't take long.

"Oh, you are already here, well come in. What would like to have tea or coffee" Mike asked politely

'Thanks but there is no need. I have come today to inform you about something, as well as ask whether you are interested in making a deal with me from your family's side" Wade asked.

"What kind of deal?"

"I would be going to the subterranean world for quite some time on tomorrow's ship, this is what I wanted to inform you," Wade said and waited for Mike to absorb this news.

Mike was surprised as he had never thought that Wade would make such a decision. According to him, Wade was someone who would usually look at the whole situation thoroughly and after he was completely sure that what he was going to do would succeed, then only would he start.

He was someone he really admired after his Mentor Fred for his rational thinking but today such a person was good going to the subterranean world which was the second most dangerous place on the planet, this left him bewildered.

"Are you sure that you want to go there, from what I know even Rank 5 Apprentice can die any day at that place" Mike asked.

"Don't worry I am pretty sure that I will survive, I have already advanced to Rank 3 and learned quite a few spells, and the reason I am going there is not to hunt in the subterranean city" Wade replied.

Mike was shocked, after hearing that Wade had already advanced to Rank 3 he felt like he was in a dream.

No it was more like a nightmare, bowling had Wade entered the Academy, it might not even be two years but he had already advanced to Rank 3 while he was still stuck at Rank 2, he was also someone with the Grade 4 aptitude then why was he so left behind by this junior of his in every single thing.

Giving himself a self-deprecating smile he asked, " So, for what reason are you going there?"

As you know my potion-making has advanced quite a bit it is still far from Mentor and Senior Sam. So, I had asked Mentor for some way to improve my methods and he said that only practice can help me at this point.

But as you know that to keep practising on basic potions I would need a lot of ingredients, but even after selling even I successfully potion brewed it doesn't help me much as I I also need magic crystals for buying advanced knowledge.

"For this reason Mentor suggested me to go to the subterranean city as not only will I get all the ingredients cheaper than in the academy but I can also sell the successfully brewed potions at a much better price it's a whole win situation for me, so that is why I wanted to go there and this is where our deal or cooperation comes in place" Wade said.
