From MC''s perspective:
The gravity magic sts away the ground, revealing the broken corpse''s hand hidden beneath it.
[Ding! Warning]
[Evil Magic is detected]
A mechanical voice sounded in my mind. Hearing the same warning, my thoughts returned to reality.
Looking at the corpse''s hand, my expression turned serious.
"It''s the right arm but apart from the fingers everything else was rotten," I muttered to myself.
Other than that I don''t see any artifacts beside it. So a threatening feelinges from the rotten hand.
Maybe the person who died here was a high-level wizard. Otherwise, even after centuries, it''s difficult for energy to remain.
Then I didn''t n on touching or retrieving it. Because I don''t have any safety items when ites to dealing with evil magic.
But my eyes are set on the surroundings. I have a vague feeling that if I search around, I will find something.
Then thinking about my ns. I made a decision. I don''t want to miss such an opportunity. Even if I enter No Man''s Land, I will do nothing but investigate the ce.
So I think it''s better to start my work from here. Besides, no one else dares toe here. After gaining some rity, I decided to dig the area around the corpse''s hand.
Maybe I could find the rest of the remains. Then I crouched down and started to apply a small force of magic on the ground.
My mana pressure is enough to st away the ground. So I started to repeat the process.
A few minutester,
I found something. It seems to be a piece of cloth. Seeing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
"Is it a full corpse?" I said to myself.
Then I began to dig deeper.A round-shaped bag came into view.
Seeing that my breath became shorter.
Because I remember seeing this in books back in the library."Storage bag," I uttered in surprise.
Yes, I have no doubt this cloth pouch is a storage bag. Nowadays, we use storage bracelets. Which is a product of modern tech and magic.
But in ancient times, storage items were made by different professionals. Like formation mages, in ancient times there used to be such professions. I wasn''t able to recall the name right now.
Nowadays, the storage bracelet blueprint is owned by manypanies. They have their design and quality of the product.
Then removing these thoughts, I picked up the storage bag. The storage bag is covered with dust and sand.
Before opening it, I decided to appear in the Gregor Mansion.
Swoosh~
After appearing inside, I observed the storage bed before opening it. Then I seeped my consciousness into it.
My consciousness went inside without being hindered.
I frowned. The space inside the bag seems to berge. But I have yet to find any usable items.
Then I remembered the identity of the person. The person was a wicked wizard. He died here which shows that the wizard was not weed in the outside world.
Then suddenly something caught my attention. I found a few low-grade mana stones and a sheepskin.
Looks like that person was a poor fellow. But I wasn''t surprised. If the things described in history were true.
Then the wicked wizards of that time are left without any choice.
Fortunately, my magic is gravity. So Ie under space-rted profession wizard types. But if it was something darker and sinister.
Then I would have been left with no choice other than to join the dark league. After removing the thoughts, I turned my attention back to the items.
The low-grade mana stones are of little use to me but my attention was drawn to the sheepskin.
In curiosity,I brought the sheepskin outside. There was something written over it in an ancient mage script. But when I opened the sheepskin to see further.
A look of disbelief appeared on my face. It''s a map. There is a map drawn on the sheepskin. And the image coincides with the No Man''s Land territory.
Then I immediately operated mymunication watch and the next moment a holographic image appeared.
It was the current modern map of No Man''s Land. Then I started topare the two maps. I don''t recognize the ancient words in the sheepskin.
But I can confirm that the sheepskin contains the map of No Man''s Land. Because I saw the dark forest on both maps. The direction and the location of the market are the same.
Though I don''t recognize ancient words, I can confirm that both maps have dark forests.
Seeing that I started topare other border areas. Even though many centuries have passed. People always used uncharted territory as their boundary.
And this pattern in ancient maps is no different. But I''m fascinated by something else. The ancient map contains more secrets. Some of the locations marked on the map are not found on the modern map.
"Damn,"
''If I had a librarian friend or schr then I would have solved thenguage barrier,'' I said to myself.
It''s not like I can''t decipher it. But it would take a long time. But I thought of something. Since I''m going to spend time in No Man''s Land anyway. Why don''t I see for myself?
As this thought rose in my heart, I felt this decision was right. In this way, I don''t have to roam around aimlessly.
I have something to look forward to. Then I closed the sheepskin scroll and appeared outside.
Looking back at the broken corpse, my mouth curved into an arc. Don''t know what the identity of the poor fellow is. But he had the map of no man''snd.
Which made me think further. From the sheepskin''s map. I can see that there are several marked locations. Which means they are active at the same time.
So it''s difficult to tell whether the no man''snd of that time was abundant with mana. If it''s then, I picked up a treasure this time.
Then I decided to resume the digging.Because I have yet to find the remains.<novelsnext></novelsnext>
Time passed,
After 2 hours, I stopped searching. I didn''te across anything usual. A trace of disappointment shes in my eyes.
Swoosh~
Then I appeared in the Gregor Mansion. I brought the storage bag and took out the low mana-grade stones from it.
But when I held the mana stones in my palm. A hint of surprise shes in my eyes. The size of the mana-grade stones isparable to modern-day mid-grade stones.
A hint ofplexity shes in my eyes. The ancient times were surely prosperous. But at the same time, it had witnessed a lot of bloodshed.
Then I sat on the ground and started to meditate. When I ran the gravity ark mental method, I felt the reaction from the mana stones.
Slowly, the mana particles entered my body. But again I felt speechless by the purity of the mana. It''s quite higher than the current era''s low-grade mana stones.
I wonder what had happened for such drastic changes to take ce. Then I started to circte the energy ording to a mental method.
After cirction, the energy settles down in my mana core space. Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
I opened my eyes three hourster. Except for one, I have consumed the remaining mana stones. But I''m d that I was able toplete today''s practice.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

The status panel appeared in front of my eyes. But after seeing the progression, I sighed in relief. Fortunately, I came across the small mana resource.
But it was not enough. I don''t have resources for future practice. Maybe I should have requested the resources from Senior Gilbert.
But it''s toote to regret it now. Then suddenly a good idea crosses my mind. What about looting others? My old favorite game. If there is a chance, I should seriously consider looting.
