Chapter 420 - Big News

After getting everything he needed, Theo picked up the bag that was almost bigger than his body. Ava was already sneaking inside his clothes to position herself.
"Let's go." Theo smiled and opened the door as he started heading to Ark City.
The scenery soon changed to the dim lights of the busy Ark City.
With the goal in his mind, Theo finally stepped outside Ark City, heading straight to his destination.
Little did he know something big was going on near Sinx Forest. It was all over the news, but Theo had no connection to even see it.
The news was covered by one male and one female. The female wore a long yellow dress while carrying a small card in her hand… She sat on the couch while waving her blonde hair.
"Hello, Mr. Hendrick." She smiled at the male, who happened to be a middle-aged man. He wore a white and black formal suit while looking at the camera with a smile. He greeted her back. "Thank you for having me here, Annie."
"Today, we are going to talk about the sudden rise of conflicts between monsters in Sinx Forest and Eion Plain." She then raised her hand as a screen appeared, showing a video.
In the video, there was a giant spherical dome. The dome was black with some small holes that couldn't be crossed by humans. Still, the most shocking thing about this dome was its size.
With one mile as its radius, the dome looked majestic, especially with its fifty-foot-high.
"What we have here is an Ancient Structure that we call Coal Dome. There are a lot of monsters residing in this place… Mostly monsters with a fire affinity. What do you think about this structure, Mr. Hendrick?"
"Thank you, Annie." He raised both hands and started explaining. "Actually, this Coal Dome itself is a remnant of an ancient civilization in the past. The dome was found one hundred years ago after an earthquake struck the vicinity, which somehow sent the dome to the surface and not the other ground around it. Even the scientist couldn't explain this incident. After all, If a certain land went up, the entire area would also be affected.
"After a long investigation, we found that this dome has numerous monsters inside and has become an active dungeon for us to explore. The government also declared this place to be a public dungeon for others to use.
"There is a rumor that an ancient mummy is residing in this place, considering the place was filled with mummies the first time it appeared. Also, this place has become a bit more active as many hunters have been reporting an unusual movement from the mummies. And we believe the problem is…"
Before he continued, another screen appeared, showing a small plain in the middle of the forest. In that plain stood tall a small castle made of wood and rocks.
There was even a wall of the combination of the two, protecting several tall buildings in it.
"This is the problem, Wolf City, or that's what we call it. There is a very intelligent wolf leading many wolf species to gather in that area to build this kind of city. We have been investigating them for the past three years and have been making contact with them, trying to talk it out, but to no avail.
"I'm sure that many of you are aware of the fact that the monsters are mostly instinctual, but some of their leaders are intellectual. Hence, we assume that both the dome and this Wolf City have a General Class monster.
"And each of them is trying to take each other's territory, causing a great conflict between the Eion Plain and the Sinx Forest.
"So, we, the military, have been given an order to keep a watch of this conflict because hey… the rule of the jungle is effective here. Also, the government has been releasing several missions to suppress both of these places. If not, they may need to evacuate the area within 100 miles radius so as to avoid unnecessary deaths.
"That's why there are many hunters approaching this place to partake in the missions, as this place has turned into a gold mine for them. Of course, I don't say it's wrong. I just hope the conflicts can be dealt with and we can start researching about their lives and other things, increasing our understanding about this world."
Annie smiled and nodded her head. "Thank you very much, Mr. Hendrick, for your explanation." She then turned to the camera and continued, "There you go. The government is issuing missions for hunters to help the government suppress this conflict.
"This is a win-win situation for both the government and the hunters. I believe there are many enthusiastic people coming to those places right now…"
The two started talking again, discussing the monster's habits and other information.
And this news, which had been broadcasted through the entire country, piqued many interested parties, including Theo's former teammates.
Seeing such a thing, James asked his daughter, who had been learning many things from him for the last couple of days. "So, what do you think? You want to go there?"
"I want to, but it's not like everything will be resolved so quickly. I want to learn from you for another one week or two." Alea answered. She didn't know why but after recognizing her mistakes and naivety, Alea didn't feel like reacting extremely and maintained her calm expression. "I want to understand the entire story first and learn about the pros and cons before participating."
James glanced at her calm expression and smiled. "Is that so? Well, we have sent our scouts there, so we should be able to learn the situation very soon."
Not only them, but there was also Ellen watching the news and falling into deep thought. Even Phyrill's Hilbert Family was interested in this news.
Phyrill murmured while reading the news. "So, this place is kind of interesting. How many groups do we have in Ark City?"
The middle-aged man, who always served by his side, answered, "Ten groups."
"Good. I will lead the team there."
"You just happen to be interested in the Wolf City, aren't you? The reason is probably due to your blessing…"
"What are you saying? I am a good and responsible citizen like this family. I will contribute to the greatness of this country," Phyrill pumped his chest and said dramatically.
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes, not believing him at all.
"Well, I will convince my father first." Phyrill shrugged. "You should get ready too."
