From MC’s perspective:
East City,
The bearded wizard spilled valuable information. But still, it’s not my job to interfere. And I want to return to the Capital as soon as possible.
Then I thought of something before asking, “So, what about the work?” Earlier, they told me that I should quietly follow them.
The bearded wizard panicked. But still, he gritted his teeth and said, “The stolen goods were taken back to the Capital. So we need these people as an escort.”
On the other hand, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. I was looking for a way out of this place. But I didn’t expect that the people behind the scenes would be cautious.
I can guess what they are going to do with the stolen items. Either they are going to put it up for auction or sell it privately.
Then I asked for further information regarding the transport. I’m certain that they are not going to use rail transport. When I collected enough information.
Pfff!
Four of their bodies turned into blood mist. They should be dead than revealing my whereabouts.
Swoosh!
The next second, I disappeared from the spot and went deeper inside the city. From his mouth, I heard that there was a high airship parked in a private area.
The stolen goods are stored in that airship. Once there are enough items, the airship will depart from this place.
As a level-6 wizard, it’s easy for me to enter without alerting anyone. Not long after, I entered the private area. I felt the presence of many level-5 wizards.
But not a single level-6 wizard. A quick gleam flashed in my eyes. There are glass buildings in front of me. If my guess is right, this is a place where they conduct their secret operation.
The next second, I flew down and landed on the ground. No one can sense my presence. As long as I can hide from their sight. Things will be smooth.
When I walked past the building. A wide plain area came into view. Then I spotted an airship painted with white and gold color parked in the middle of the ground.
“Royal Force Hall,” My eyes turned cold.
To think they are not afraid of using their airship vehicle. Perhaps, no one will stop this airship on its way to the Capital.
Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, I reached the airship. Then I flew above to land on the deck.
“There are people here,” I grunted. Hearing their footsteps. I quickly entered the compartment to hide.
Creak!
Inside the cabin, there are wooden boxes arranged one above another. Seeing that a look of understanding dawned on me.
I picked one of the wooden boxes and went inside the Gregor Mansion.
Outside,
The guards wearing black uniforms appeared.
“Hey, have you seen anything?”
” I spotted a dark shadow going past here,” One of the guards said.
Then they started to check nooks and corners. They don’t want to be negligent. When they opened cabins one by one.
Except for a few spaces, the rest of the spaces are filled with wooden boxes.
Gregor Mansion:
On the other hand, I placed the wooden box on the ground. A hint of curiosity appeared in my eyes.
“If they are transporting to the Capital, then it must be something important,” I muttered to myself.
Then I opened the wooden box. The next second, a wave of pure mana hit my face. In front of my eyes, dazzling mana stones are stored inside the box.
“This!” My eyes widened in disbelief.
It’s a box full of mid-grade mana stones. I have never seen this many before. The next second, a realization struck my mind.
They must have plundered hundreds of people. Then I calmed down.
If one wooden box has this many items. Then what about others? An inside idea comes to mind. If I loot all of these items, then I won’t have to worry about the resources for a few months.
“Ha….Ha….Ha….,” A heartfelt laughter escaped from my mouth.
Though my attributes will reach the limit. I need mana stones for mana core improvement. After closing the box, I began to ponder.
It’s not good to loot right away. The box has to stay there until the airship reaches the Capital. If one of the boxes is found missing, then these people might delay my travel.
After gaining some clarity, I picked up the box and appeared back in the cabin. Then I placed the wooden box in that spot before returning to the Gregor Mansion.
Meanwhile,
The death of the 4 level-5 wizards reaches the ears of the City Lord. Who got infuriated right after hearing the news? He didn’t expect someone could threaten and kill his men in this city.
“Find out who it is?”
“He must be another level-5 wizard,” He roared out in anger. More than the death of his men, he fears that his evil deeds would be exposed.
Although he is acting on behalf of the Royal Force Hall Academy. But if the news was made public, then he would be forced to use it as a scapegoat.
Then he thought of something before reporting to the Royal Force Hall representative. Apart from the City Lord, there is one more level-6 wizard staying in the city.
He didn’t appear in public to avoid attention. The academy has given him the task of escorting the stolen items back to the Capital.
The City Lord can’t execute the task. He has the job to govern the city.
Not far away, from the private area where the airship is parked. There is a private building. Where Royal Force Hall Academy’s level-6 wizard is staying.
He is a middle-aged man with a thick mustache. His robe has a badge of earth element symbol. Which tells that he is a level-6 Earth elemental wizard.
His name is Bolton. From his attitude and behavior. It can be said that he is someone from an influential family.
At this moment, instead of meditating and practicing, he is undergoing a spa session. Once the airship is ready, he can return to the Capital. Until then, he is going to enjoy the relaxing sessions.
