A day of magic training passed by quickly.
At nightfall.
Weston returned home, washed away his exhaustion, and lay in bed. He skillfully opened the Super Archive, preparing to help Mavis find a suitable combat magic.
Suddenly!
Beep beep beep—
A burst of noisy alarms suddenly sounded.
At the same time, in the corner of the Super Archive interface, a red warning box popped up with the words [INTRUDER DETECTED], flashing continuously!
"This is... the alarm I set up earlier?!"
Weston didn't dare to delay in the slightest and hurriedly opened the map in the corner of the operation interface.
The map instantly zoomed in, its shape identical to an aerial view of Tenrou Island.
Having awakened the Super Archive magic for more than half a year, Weston naturally couldn't spend all day searching for and moving predecessors' magic data without learning any useful skills.
However, the first magic he actively learned wasn't combat magic, but reconnaissance magic.
Reconnaissance magic, although lacking in combat capability, was extremely practical.
It could identify life within a certain range and, through magic power fluctuations, distinguish whether the other party was an ordinary person, a mage, or a magical beast.
So Weston personally walked through every corner of Tenrou Island and, borrowing the power of the Super Archive, drew up the most perfect magic map.
After combining the two and setting up an "alarm program," a "Tenrou Island Map" with reconnaissance and alarm functions was formed.
At this moment, at the edge of the map, hundreds of red dots strangely appeared, and these red dots were moving rapidly towards their village.
Red dots represented outsiders.
Being detected by reconnaissance magic meant the other party's identity was that of mages!
The situation on the map meant that there were currently over a hundred foreign mages on Tenrou Island who were not people of Tenrou, and they were advancing towards the village!
"Outsiders on the island?!"
"Could it be... that event is happening tonight?"
Weston knew that their "Red Lizard" would be attacked and destroyed by the fellow magic guild "Blue Skull" in X679, and everyone on the island would be killed.
And this year was precisely X679!
The timing matched.
Apart from the Blue Skull attack, Weston couldn't think of any other possibility for the situation before him.
"No, I have to notify everyone to take refuge immediately!"
There were over a thousand residents on Tenrou Island.
The vast majority of them were ordinary people, and the number of mages was less than fifty.
According to the original story's development, all these people would be brutally slaughtered by the people of Blue Skull tonight, with no one surviving except Mavis.
Weston could ignore the scum of Red Lizard, but the villagers on the island were just ordinary people and shouldn't be sacrificed in vain in this struggle between magic guilds!
Thinking of this, Weston immediately got out of bed, put on his clothes, pushed open the door, and rushed out hurriedly.
The first person he had to notify was, of course, Mavis.
Neither Weston nor Mavis's homes were in the village but on a small hill outside the village. The two places were not far apart, and it took only a minute to run there.
Knock knock knock...
"Mavis! Mavis!!..."
Amidst the urgent knocking, a soft little hand pushed open the door, and then a small head popped out.
Mavis hadn't gone to sleep yet either.
She was too happy to sleep because she had learned magic.
"What's wrong, Weston?"
"Many mages have invaded the island. Their goal is likely to seize the island's resources and treasures. Come with me quickly; I'll take you to a safe place to hide!"
"Eh?!"
Such abrupt and shocking news left Mavis stunned on the spot.
"There's no time to space out, let's go!"
Saying this, Weston grabbed her hand and ran out.
Back when he measured the whole island with his feet and drew the map, Weston took the opportunity to set up several hidden safe houses on the island and regularly updated the food reserves in these safe houses.
It was all in preparation for this day!
The nearest safe house was built on the small hill where they lived. It was a hollowed-out underground cave containing enough food for three people to eat for five days.
"Hide here properly, don't come out easily. I'll come find you later."
Only after being forcibly stuffed into the safe house by Weston did Mavis finally come back to her senses.
"Wait!"
"Where are you going?"
Weston was silent for two seconds.
"Everyone on the island doesn't know about this yet. I must go notify them!"
Admittedly, Weston wasn't familiar with these residents.
But since he knew about this in advance and had prepared safe houses, if he did nothing in the end, he would definitely regret his inaction in the future.
"But there are so many people on the island. How are you going to notify everyone? And how are you going to make people believe what you say?"
Mavis immediately raised two crucial questions.
"Notification is not a problem."
Weston smiled confidently: "I learned Telepathy Magic before. This magic allows me to transmit what I want to say to everyone's minds in the form of a broadcast, and I can also guide them to evacuate."
"As for the issue of trust, there's even less need to worry."
"Because the enemy will arrive very soon. When that time comes, they'll have to believe even if they don't want to!"
Hearing this, Mavis struggled to climb out of the underground cave: "In that case, I'll go with you!"
"What? No! It's too dangerous!"
Refusal blurted out of his mouth.
But Mavis's face was full of stubbornness.
"This is also my home. I want to contribute too."
"Besides, I know magic now, so I can definitely help!"
"Even if you stop me now, once you leave, I will definitely follow."
Ah, this...
"Fine then, follow my commands for all actions!"
"No problem!"
Soon, the two arrived at the village entrance.
Huff... huff...
"Ho... hope we make it in time..."
Weston quickly adjusted his breathing while opening the magic map to observe the enemy's position.
Due to the delay just now, the red dots on the map had penetrated a significant distance further inland.
At this speed, the enemy would reach the village in ten minutes at most. There wasn't much time left for him!
Weston circulated the magic power in his body, packaged and compressed the magic map marked with safe houses, while raising his right hand and pointing his fingers at his forehead.
Instantly, both Super Archive and Telepathy Magic activated simultaneously—
[WARNING! WARNING!!]
[Enemies are invading Tenrou Island. The intruders are the Magic Guild 'Blue Skull.' They will arrive at the village in approximately ten minutes. Everyone, evacuate to these locations immediately!!]
[Repeat!]
