From MC'S Perspective:
The next morning,
The news of the magic attack on the private mansion spread like wildfire. However, the authorities quickly dismissed it as a rogue attack by wandering wizards.
Hearing that people had no choice but to forget the matter. This was not the first ti their city had experienced sothing like this. The burglary occurred once or twice per month.
Only the officials and guards close to the Peak Wizard knew the real issue. Soone had escaped last night. Then Peak Wizard vented out his anger by destroying the place.
anwhile,
The Peak Wizard, the person responsible for the incident, is inspecting the border. Unlike everyone else, he had already forgotten about the incident.
Now he is focused on completing the critical task.
As usual, a large number of people have been spotted entering the Silent Forest since this morning. But no one is erging from the Silent Forest.
"I hope the information provided by the Family Elder is true," He told himself. However, he is unaware that the person he is looking for has already decided to leave.
On the other hand, I changed my clothes and on my way down to the inn. I removed the mask so people won't stare at .
After coming down, I found a corner seat to sit down on. There were only a few custors who ca this morning. Everyone having their breakfast.
Upon seeing , the server ca to . I just ordered a slice of pie and then started waiting. I can't stay here for a long ti. The presence of the Peak Wizard in this border town has sent alarms.
I don't know what business he got here. But I don't want to co across him again.
Shortly after,
My food ca then I began digging in. At the sa ti, I perked my ears to listen to people's conversations.
"Daman, a terrible incident occurred last night. But the guards are hiding it."
"Are you done? Don't talk about it."
A 2 middle aged man quarreling with each other.
Seeing that I shook my head. I hope soone speaks about other issues.
Then I noticed a couple sitting not far away from .
"Viana, we have to depart sooner."
"The Airship won't be waiting for us."
A middle aged man spoke to his partner. But the woman rolled her eyes at him and said,"We are V.I.P custors. They don't dare to leave without us."
The middle aged man's mouth twitched.
He added,"It's not like the previous year. Don't know what happened. But the security of the air ship was tightened in recent months."
"So much so that they are doing thorough inspection even for their servants."
The woman raised her eyebrows.
She asked,"What happened?"
"As far as I know their business is going smoothly," She added.
"I don't know. It's better for us to leave sooner," The Middle aged man said.
The woman then nodded her head in And.
On the other hand, my eyes glead with a twinkle.
I was hoping to sneak inside the airship like the previous ti. But I have heard new information now. Why do I feel like it's sothing related to ?
Then I thought of sothing. Last ti, certain young master ca to the Silent Forest. He belongs to the Family which manufactures Purple Crystal Class AirShip.
I don't know whether he had made it back alive or not.
After removing the unnecessary thoughts, I continued to dig in.
A few minutes later,
After paying the amount, I took a step forward to walk upstairs.
At the sa ti, a group of people walked in.
I took a slight glance at them before walking upstairs. Right after taking 2 steps, I stopped my movents.
Because the conversation happening between the new custors drew my attention.
"Hey, why is our Adventure Union interested in that brat nad Vincent Carry?"
"The higher ups want us to capture the person as soon as possible," A tired looking middle aged man complained.
Hearing that people accompanying glared at him. Seeing that he shut his mouth.
The group of 5 people appears to be extrely tired. Like they had traveled a long distance to co here. After ordering the food, they sat together to eat.
On the other hand, I relaxed my clenching fist. I didn't expect soone to co after . Then I returned to my room.
After locking the door, I walked to the open window and began watching the outside view.
These people are not from an academy or killer organization but from the Adventure Union. According to their words, their higher ups ordered them to capture .
"When exactly did I offend the Adventure Union?" I asked myself.
Initially, I thought that Dark League and other 2 Academies would send people after . But the Adventure Union people appeared out of nowhere.
I can't wait here any longer.
After making the decision, I wore the mask on my face and started changing clothes again. I have the map of Lizzen State with .
I'm going to make further plans after leaving the border city.
20 minutes later,
When I went downstairs. I saw that groups of adventurers have already left the inn. After giving back the key to the inn owner, I walked out of the inn.
Then I recalled the route in my map before starting flying in the air in that direction.
Ti passed,
Not only the wizards from the Adventure Union. Even the Wizard groups sent by the local forces are gathering in the border town.
These groups did not co alone. So of them ca with their protectors. Where others had their group leader's strength to the Peak Rank.
Sudden arrival of the high level wizards noticed by the residents here. Which is causing the tension to rise. So want to et Vincent Carry to make a good impression.
While so groups want to eliminate the threat. But no matter what they won't be able to find their target. Because their target had already left the city.
A few hours later,
I ca to the next big city after a long journey. Instead of entering the city via the city gate. I have decided to look for a transport vehicle.
It's difficult to hire a pilot, so there is no option for the aircraft. But there are monster carriages.
A look of interest appeared in my eyes.
I think that the carriage driver won't decline my offer.
I began speaking to one carriage driver after another. But neither of them were ready for the long distance travel. All of these carriage drivers are Mid Ranked Wizards. The level-5 is the highest.
From their conversations, I understood that they are worried about the robbery. The Bandits usually target the long distance Caravans with loaded goods. In so cases they targeted the Carriages as well.
In addition to that, several of them are suspicious of . Since I'm wearing a mask.
After so ti, I gave up. I failed to convince them.
Just as I thought about leaving the place.
"Mister, wait for ?"
My voice sounded behind .
Hearing that I turned around. I saw a young man who appeared to be in his early twenties walk towards .
His words attracted others as well.
"Hey, look what Lincoln's son is doing here?"
"May be he wants to take the custor"
"Yeah, he is saving money for his bedridden father."
"He is desperate for money"
"No wonder, he wants to accept a job from a suspicious person."
The Carriage driver knows what's going on. They started speaking with each other in low voices. But I got a good heading because of my level.
So I quickly figured it out.What's going on?
"Hello, mister. Can I accept your request?" The young man asked.
Hearing that I looked at him from top to bottom.
Then I said,"Take to your carriage."
The young man nodded his head in relief before leading towards his monster carriage.
While following, I noticed he was taking to the outskirts. Little away from the parking zone. My heart filled with curiosity.
I'm sure that this person was serious about taking the job.
Shortly after,
We ca to a deserted area. There are many small tents installed. It looks like a small mini market.

"Mister, my monster carriage is behind this cheap market," He said.
Hearing this, I looked at him again before nodding my head.
Then we walked through the cheap market before reaching the area. I saw not one but many monster carriages.
I swept my eyes across the place. Then I understood what's going on.
Here the carriages are shabby and old. The Monsters are sick and old. It's difficult for those monsters to move around.
"Don't tell this person's carriage is old as well," I said in my heart.
The young man noticed the custor's expression.
"Mister, don't worry. My monster is not that weak," The young man said.
I decided to take a look before confirming it with my own eyes. Then he guided to his place where his monster carriage was parked.
