The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 530

Chapter 530: Chapter 530 Final Preparations 2: Magical Materials

Archmage Elric had already suspected as much.

And sure enough, the moment he mentioned departing tonight, the three of them nodded almost simultaneously, confirming his guess without hesitation.

Seeing their reaction, the old archmage let out a quiet sigh before turning around.

"Very well," he murmured.

He began issuing instructions, quickly deciding which of his mages would accompany Zion and Maxwell as field support, and which ones would remain behind with him to construct the teleportation portal. A few others were tasked with assisting the preparations and maintaining communication with the Royal Capital’s communication center, ensuring that everything would be ready the moment the portal was activated.

Zion, Maxwell, and the rest of their team didn’t take long to finish their preparations. Archmage Elric quickly selected five mages to accompany them as field support before turning his attention back to coordinating with the communication center.

Not long after, Zion and Maxwell departed the camp while Levi remained behind to guard the temporary base, and more importantly, to ensure Addison’s safety.

Their destination this time was the deeper mountain range roughly twenty kilometers away from the camp. Under normal circumstances, with their group of warriors moving at full speed and without interruptions, the distance could have been covered in about forty-five minutes. That was assuming they maintained their fastest pace and encountered no monsters or territorial wild animals along the way.

However, the situation wasn’t that simple. Several warriors had to carry the five mages with them, which significantly slowed the group’s overall speed. Because of that, the journey was expected to take around two and a half to three hours.

According to Archmage Elric’s calculations and experience, the final missing material they needed, the Luminous Night Daisy, was most likely to grow in mountainous areas that were exposed to moonlight. The flower only bloomed at night and preferred open clearings at higher elevations where the moon’s light could reach it directly.

Based on those conditions, the most likely location would be somewhere within the eastern mountain range.

In fact, Zion remembered encountering one before. When he had first scouted the area to establish the temporary camp, he had climbed partway up one of the nearby mountains to get a clearer view of the plains below. By coincidence, he had spotted a single Luminous Night Daisy growing in a clearing near the summit.

Unfortunately, that location was no longer an option.

Since then, the area had been taken over by a group of ogres. Facing dozens of ogres with only their current number of warriors would be far too risky.

Because of that, their best option now was to search for another patch of the flower in the mountain range Archmage Elric had identified.

The Luminous Night Daisy was not just any herb, it was one of the most critical components required to construct the teleportation portal. The flower’s extract served as the special ink used by the mages to inscribe the runes of the arcane circle. Once infused into the runic lines, it helped capture and stabilize the surrounding mana needed to power the teleportation portal.

Another unique property of the flower made it even more valuable.

The more mana the Luminous Night Daisy absorbed, the brighter it glowed. This allowed the mages to immediately detect whether their runic inscriptions were correct or flawed while constructing the circle.

If the glow remained steady and stable, it meant the runes were properly aligned. If not, it would reveal imperfections before the portal was activated, preventing potentially catastrophic errors.

Since they already had a general direction to follow, the group decided to search for the remaining materials while making their way toward the mountain range. This way, they wouldn’t waste time making separate trips.
