Wizard: Starting from Escaping Another World to Pioneering

The target building was located deep within the mansion. Matthew had already scanned the area with the system from the outside and found no barriers or restrictions.

A knight stood guard outside the building.

Matthew, hidden in the shadows, casually waved his hand at the guarding knight, casting a Soul-Stealing Spell.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the knight's gaze gradually became unfocused, leaving him standing there in a daze.

Matthew slipped inside the building. Although it was pitch black inside, he could still see clearly.

The room was completely still, with no magical fluctuations emanating from it.

But Matthew did not let his guard down. He opened the system and scanned it back and forth, not missing a single gap.

【Title: Oil Painting】

【Name: Solid Wood Table】

【Name: Exquisite Tableware】

【…】

"They're all ordinary items."

He went upstairs.

There are several rooms on the second floor, but after receiving a system notification, Matthew discovered that there were no restrictions on them.

He went into the rooms one by one and found that they were just ordinary bedrooms with nothing of value.

The entire building was completely empty; there wasn't a soul in sight, not even a trace of Eamon.

Matthew shook his head and left the building.

At this moment, the knight's eyes gradually regained their clarity.

"Ha~", he yawned, shook his slightly dazed head, feeling as if nothing had just happened.

Matthew stood on a large tree in the courtyard and flipped through the map again.

Besides the building that appears to be Eamon's residence, there is another suspicious place on this site.

The location was in the back mountains, and the map showed a question mark there. Tom's information did not provide any specific details.

Following the map's directions, Matthew quickly entered the back mountain and arrived at the question mark marker.

The place was surrounded by high stone walls and guarded by an entire knightly order, which suggested that this was a forbidden area of ​​the Harrison family.

After checking the physical attributes of these knights through the system, Matthew discovered that they were all great knights.

"The Harrison family has so many Grand Knights? This force far exceeds the regular strength of the royal palace..."

However, the Grand Knights were like decorations in front of the intermediate apprentices, and Matthew entered them without breaking a sweat.

"It's a bit windy tonight," one of the guard knights said, shrinking back.

"Yeah, I always feel a chill down my spine."

"You all need to be serious. You know the consequences if anything goes wrong..."

"yes!"

"..."

Soon, Matthew arrived at an open space, his figure hidden in the shadows, completely blending into the darkness.

So much so that people passing by him wouldn't notice anything unusual.

A group of novice knights stood in the open space. After drinking the bright red potion that had been distributed to them, they began to breathe, seemingly practicing the knight's breathing technique.

【Name: Life Essence】

[Ingredients: Blood of the Scaled Clawed Dragon Dog (diluted), Blood of the Bone Pteranodon Jaw (diluted), Bloodheart Dragon Lizard Blood (diluted), Bloodmane Dragon Vulture (diluted)...]

[Description: A life essence blended from the blood of various dragon beasts, when used with a special breathing technique, can significantly enhance a knight's strength.]

Extractable components: Mixed dragon crystal (diluted), putrefactive toxins...

"Mixed with dragon blood..."

"It seems the Harrison family wants to use this life essence to mass-produce Grand Knights."

Matthew remembered that Morde had the bloodlines of the Poison Breath Dragon and the Sand Iron Dragon, and here they found this life essence, a mixture of so many dragon bloods.

"The Harrison family is indeed conducting some kind of dragon-related research, and these great knights are probably just a byproduct..."

Matthew wandered around the forbidden area and discovered a cave deep within it.

He strode inside and found a strange monster whose body was bound by runic chains.

It is considered bizarre because the monster has huge stitched scars on its body, from which different limbs and organs have been grafted.

Matthew had seen many of these parts in the encyclopedia; they were all from dragons.

At this moment, the hybrid magical beast was extremely weak and in a deep sleep, completely unaware of Matthew's entry.

【Name: Hybrid Dragon Beast】

[Note: This is a synthetic hybrid dragon beast, currently in a weakened state due to severe blood loss.]

[Ingredients: Scaled Claw Dragon Dog gene, Bone Pteranodon Jaw gene, Rotting Heart Dragon Lizard gene, Bloodmane Dragon Vulture gene...]

[Unrefinable; the item possesses its own consciousness.]

"It seems the Harrison family has mastered a method for synthesizing dragon beasts."

"Those life-saving potions must have been made from the blood of this hybrid dragon beast."

However, Matthew didn't believe the Harrison family's research was limited to the monster before them. "They must have conducted more in-depth research, and methods for simultaneously fusing two bloodlines..."

He opened the system and scanned the cave inside and out.

To his disappointment, he gained nothing other than the strange magical beast before him.

"It seems this isn't Amon's laboratory..."

Matthew reluctantly opened the intelligence map again, selected the next place to explore, and set off.

A moment later...

He went to the room where Mold lived.

After searching through it, Matthew only found a few introductory books on bloodline studies.

He shook his head and used the system to extract the information from the books.

Then, flipping through the map again, Matthew decided to explore the entire Harrison mansion one by one, which wouldn't take him long at his pace.

Four hours later…

Matthew searched almost the entire Harrison mansion.

Among the discoveries were numerous hidden passages, basements, private rooms, and more...

But apart from some mortal treasures, there was nothing else of value.

"It seems there are no secrets here."

Matthew fell into deep thought. Since he hadn't found anything at Harrison's mansion, he decided to start by targeting Draven.

He looked up at the sky and realized it was getting late, so he decided to head back first.

……

Two hours later...

Matthew returned to the Moontear Crystal Mine, and on the way he began to decipher the sorcery notes of the official wizard.

He has already broken through several layers of the outer restrictions, but it will take some more time to break through all the restrictions.

It was just getting light.

Matthew entered the mine and followed the winding mine tunnels back to the spot where he had repaired the rune nodes the day before.

Just as he took out his tools, preparing to begin repairing the next rune node.

Suddenly, they heard Kaman's cries for help.

"Lord Matthew, save me!!!"

"Huh?" Matthew stopped what he was doing and rushed toward the direction from which the sound came.

When Kaman saw Matthew, his face immediately lit up with joy.

Matthew glanced behind Kaman and saw that he was being chased by a group of crystal beasts.

He couldn't help but frown, sensing that something was amiss.

"Why are there so many?"
