From MC's Perspective:
Crook had lost hope. In desperation, he closed his eyes.
The bandits approached him at a slow pace. They can not wait to make soone miserable.
Swoosh!
The next mont, I erged from the carriage wearing a mask. Before anyone could react, I appeared behind Crook and slapped the back of his head.
Crook felt a tingling pain on his back before losing consciousness.
"Who are you?" The leading Bandit asked. The other bandits that were following him were alerted.
Everyone expected that soone would be inside the carriage. However, upon observing the person's actions, they beca suddenly alert.
On the other hand, I observed others. The bandits are not a threat to . Then I noticed Crook's father was busy fighting. So I decided to remove the threat in front of .
Swoosh!
I vanished from the scene and appeared in front of the leading bandit, who looked terrified.
"Argh!"
"We ssed with a high level wizard!"
"Escape"
The bandits exchanged words.
A quick gleam appeared in my eyes.
Pfff!
I hit the bandit on the head. His head smashed into pieces like a waterlon.
The other bandits are horrified. They attempted to flee.
Swoosh!
I appeared in a flash before them one by one, crushing their heads.
The bandits were killed in seconds, leaving behind headless corpses on the ground.
When I turned around, I saw Crook lying unconscious on the ground. The only thing that witnessed it all was a 4th order Fire Salamander, who was terrified.
I smiled at the monster before entering the carriage. Then I appeared in the Gregor Mansion.
A few minutes later,
Crook's father ended the fight by killing the bandit leader. But there was no smile on his face. He does not know what happened to his son, who t with other bandits.
Swoosh!
The next mont, he dashed back and saw all of the horrible scenes on the ground.
The corpses lay scattered across the ground, their heads missing. His eyes swept across before finding his son laying on the ground.
"Crook," he dashed over there with his weakened body.
He noticed his son's body was intact, with no missing parts. He realized his son was unconscious. Then he gets him up.
Crook opened his mouth, groaned in pain, and touched his head behind.
"Father, what happened?"
"There were bandits here," Crook said as he looked around.
He was surprised and shocked. The bandits have all died.
Crook's Father saw that his son was actually surprised. He was hoping to get answers from his son.
"What happened?"
"Do you rember anything?" He asked.
Crook nodded and explained what he saw before losing consciousness.
"So soone knocked you unconscious and killed all of the bandits," Crook's father explained.
He stood up to inspect the area. He found no evidence of mana usage. This ans that no one had cast the magic spell. In other words, the bandits did not have ti to attack.
Crook was not stupid either. He realized soone had helped them secretly.
"We should complete the job as soon as possible," Crook'a father said in a solemn tone.
He was not as relaxed as before.
A few minutes later,
The red salamander resus its flight through the air.
Days passed,
Crook and his father have co closer to their destination. It is a massive border city. It took them a couple of days to get here.
After the first encounter with the bandits, they joined other caravans to ensure their safety. This allowed them to arrive here safely.
Crook's father lands the monster carriage in the designated area for their type of transportation vehicle.
The red salamander touches the ground softly. There are other different types of monsters near it including the flying salamanders.
So the appearance of the fire salamander didn't attract much attention.
After landing, Crook's father asked his son, "So, soone will co and get those boxes. Can you do it?"
Crook smiled and replied, "Do not worry, father. I am aware of the location. It is not far from here."
"Alright, co back safely," Crook's father said.
Crook nodded before leaving. He had already stored the boxes in his storage bracelet.
Seeing that his son had left. Senior Crook went to Fire Salamander, Flip, to thank him.
Creak!
I exited by opening the door on the right. After closing the door, I imdiately left the spot.
Senior Crook heard a noise from his carriage. However, when he went there to check, there was nothing.
On the other hand, my smile widened. My strategy worked out well. I returned to this location thanks to Crook and his father.
Now there is only one more plan before returning to the academy.
A few minutes later,
I arrived at the public transportation area. Which is close to the Crystal Class airship base. There are several people waiting for the air taxi.
As I swept my gaze around, I noticed Crook among the crowd. Then I donned a mask before approaching him.
My appearance did not attract much attention. Most people in this border city are dressed differently.
After walking through the crowd, I approached Crook and tapped on his shoulder.
Crook turned around and noticed a person wearing a mask in front of him.
"Box," I said with a cold tone.
Crook nodded when he heard that.
"Co with ," I asked. Following that, I led him to the remote area.
Crook understood what was happening. So he just followed.
Crook took the silver boxes from the storage bracelet once we arrived in the less populated area.
I simply accepted it and stored it in my storage bracelet. Then I gave him another pouch containing 30 mid-grade mana stones.
Crook accepted the pouch with surprise in his eyes.
"Bonus for good work," I told him before leaving the spot.
Seeing that masked man has left. Crook imdiately rushes back.
He soon returned to his father's side and recounted the events to him.
Senior Crook was stunned inside. They had already been paid in advance. However, he did not expect to receive bonus money as well.
He suddenly felt that all of his efforts had been worthwhile.
"Ha...Ha...Ha...With this money. We can get sothing good for ourselves and our salamander," Senior Crook stated.
On the other hand, I began searching for caravan companies that travel to the Sand Rock Country.
I am glad I returned during the day. I have plenty of ti to collect information.
15 minutes later,
I arrived at one of the agencies to obtain information.
As I entered the shop, I noticed a middle-aged woman behind the desk. She is a level-5 Wizard.
The won acknowledged the visitor and smiled.
She said, "Hello, what can I do for you?"
"I have co to look for caravans or air ships heading to the Sand Rock Country," I asked.
"Wait a second; I am going to look up the information," she replied.
On the other hand, I rembered the na of the rchant company that dropped off here.
"Blue Wind rchant Company," I said in my heart.
I am not sure if they are still operating.
The middle-aged won quickly discovered the information on the blue screen. Sand Rock Nation is a trading nation. The Lizzen State trades with them.
As a result, rchants frequently travel between two nations.
Then she discovered the public and private airships that were about to depart.
"Mister, I have found the information. But I don't know what you are looking for," She asked.
Hearing this, I responded, "I am going to send goods there. So I was hoping to find so room in one of those airships."
The middle aged won brows relaxed. She didn't find anything wrong with the statent.
She then looks at the blue screen to see which air ships are eting the custor's needs.
The woman finds a couple of pieces of information on the screen. The governnt had no room for that. If you wanted to send goods, you had to register first.
Then she looks at the private companies. So private companies are owned by super-wealthy wizard families. They do not allow last-minute registrations unless soone important requests them.
Finally, she discovered the AirShip, which ets the goal. This particular airship is operated jointly by dium-sized rchant families. They will stop at nothing to make money.
As a result, there are last-minute openings on their airship.
She then looks at the custor.
She said,"The rchant Alliance's Airship is ready to depart. However, they only have one empty cabin available. They do not have room for vehicle storage."
"It's enough," I imdiately said.
"Then it costs around 500 mid-grade mana stones," she said.
"What?" I exclaid in surprise.
"They are ripping off," I added.
The woman said,"Sir, It can't be helped. If you want, you can check out their cabin first. It is completely safe. No one will harm your belongings."
"Can I do it?" I asked.
"Yes, but the entry ticket costs ten Mid grade mana stones per person," she said, smiling.
