Dark League:
Old Witch Arika received word that the people sent by them had yet to locate Vincent Carey. She wrinkled her brow. She doesn't like it when their mbers fail to complete missions.
It was an easy task; forget about killing Vincent Carey. They did not know where he was yet. If they wait any longer, Vincent Carey may be escorted back to Yellow River Academy.
The teor Supre will not accept failure the next ti. Their organization has already fallen out of favor with him. If they continue to disappoint him. Then their Dark League Organization will suffer significant losses in the future.
Then she began to ponder. There are several ways to locate Vincent Carey. For instance, mystery magic. So wizards use strange magic to discover answers.
However, that type of magic usually involves sacrifice.
She suddenly ca up with an idea. There was an old, wicked wizard who owed her favor. If she wants, she can use it to discover Vincent Carey's location.
Her eyes flash with hesitation. It was her personal preference. It had nothing to do with the organization. Furthermore, she is unsure whether her mbers are capable of killing Vincent.
She does not have faith in their competence. Furthermore, she is aware that Vincent Carey was supported by the Magic Lord. So it is natural for him to have life-saving items.
Especially following their attack on the Wizard Heart Competition. Unless there is a perfect net for catching Vincent Carey. She is not going to use her favor lightly.
"I can not take advantage of the opportunity. "But I can try to gather information about what the other two academies are thinking," she told herself.
She knows that, like the Dark League, the other two academies must be desperate to kill Vincent Carey.
...
From MC's Perspective:
"Arken City," I muttered, staring at the marked area on the map.
There was only one city with this na in the entire country. So I am pretty sure of my current location right now. More importantly, Arken City has an airfield.
Because the city is well-known for holding frequent auctions. The airfield must have been built to receive the guests.
"I am heading to this city to find the next lift," I told myself.
Then I put on the Adventure Suit and mask before leaving. I have already paid at the inn. So it is ti to leave.
Nobody stopped from going outside. As many people appear to leave for the auction as well. After nodding at the old man, I went outside.
Then I noticed that there were more transport vehicles parked outside than the night before. There are even so who fly in groups to their destination.
Seeing that, I used my flight ability to appear in midair. Then I started following them.
Ti passed,
There are air cars and monster carriages flying above . There are wizard groups flying in front of . But I am not the only wizard.
I discovered other wizards who were traveling alone, like myself.
One hour later,
A white structure appeared in front of my eyes. It is a massive wall. There are many settlents outside the wall. They may not be city residents, but rather migrants.
When we fly over these small residents, I notice a large number of people staring at us. I swept my eyes around. But I have yet to locate the airfield.
We quickly reached the city wall. A massive iron gate blocked everyone's path. Except for vehicles, no one was permitted to fly above the city walls.
As a result, the remaining wizards are forced to land on solid ground.
I landed on the ground and gazed over the gate. There are people waiting in line. Before entering the city, they are required to show their identification.
My eyes show a hint of hesitation.
Since I have co here. I decided to take a small risk. It is common for foreigners to attend the auction. So my appearance in this setting is considered normal.
After so thought clarification, I joined the line.
After completing their inspection, the wizards went inside one by one. When it was my turn. After noticing my mask, they inquired about my identity.
Instead of showing my original ID, I showed them my Purple Chamber of Comrce employee ID.
"Lawless Country," The Guard's pupil narrows. Then he saw the Appraiser's Identity, Purple Chamber of Comrce.
His expression becos more polite.
"Mister, you can enter," the guard said.
I got my card before entering the city. I had not expected the last-minute idea to help .
I assud that after the Purple City attack, the identity would be useless. But now I am walking safely inside another country.
If I had an auction invitation, I could have gone there. But, unfortunately, I should look for the Air Field right now.
When I am randomly walking. I ca across a young man around my age.
"Hello, mister. My na is Edward. I am one of the guides here. I know everything about the city. My services are also reasonably priced."
"It is 20 low-grade mana stones," he explained.
Hearing that, I paused my steps and looked at him. I could not detect any malice or ulterior motive from him.The system did not warn as well. So I could make use of his offer.
"Okay, take to the AirField," I said to him.
"Yes, mister," the young man responded before leading to the airfield.
While walking, I took note of my surroundings. As far as I can tell, this area only has shops. I did not find any residential buildings.
On the other hand, Ed was content. He did not expect to et his first custor in the morning. People rarely accept his service. Because most people knew what they were looking for.
Except for the Auction season, he had to rely on other work. Based on the guest request, he believes the guest will primarily attend the Auction.
But he wants to find the airfield first so he can be prepared.
Ed decides to complete the mission as quickly as possible. Because he does not want to face his rivals.
After crossing a few streets, we arrived at a large open field. There are many luxurious air ships on the ground.
"Mister, this is our air field," Ed explained.
Hearing that, I began to scan the surroundings. I really want to travel properly this ti.
"Is there a public airship service?" I asked him.
Because the air ships are owned by an organization. I hope, like in Lizzen Country, they provide public services here.
"The public is not allowed to use the Airships. Unless they belong to a particular organization or spend a lot of money on travel tickets," Ed explained.
Hearing that, I frowned. I have not felt good about the Bright Nation since the beginning. First, there was an attack on airships. Then there was a poor little town.
There are now settlents on the outside. I have a feeling it is not a good idea to et people from top forces here.
"Mister," Ed called out.
His words disturb my thoughts.
"OK, take to the auction house," I said to him.
Ed was not surprised to hear that. He expected this to happen.
Then we started walking towards the auction.
As I continued to walk, I could see that the paths were becoming wider. Nearby shops are expanding and becoming more prosperous. It is as if I have entered a wealthy community.
Ed, on the other hand, appeared to be nervous. He can not stay near the Auction for very long. Otherwise, he would be targeted by his rivals.
We soon arrived at the circular, white building. It occupied more space than other buildings.
I have no doubts that it is an auction building.
"Do you know where I can buy a ticket?" I asked.
Ed nodded hesitantly before leading the way.
Observing his nervousness and the sweat bead on his forehead.
My eyes sparkled.
"He lives his life as a guide. I am not sure if he is hiding sothing from ," I said in my heart.
When I arrived at the office. I see that people are coming and going. However, they are all dressed neatly.
Then I noticed Ed's body shaking.
"What happened?" I asked.
Ed gritted his teeth and shook his head.
Seeing that, I followed his gaze and noticed a group of guys looking at us. They are of similar age to . But what drew my attention was their outfit. They are similar.
Looking at their smirk and smile. I understand what is going on.
I pressed Ed's shoulder and said, "Do not worry. You are my guide right now."
Ed's complexion improved after hearing that.
"Wow, what have we got here!"
"The trash has returned with another peasant."
"He will not be able to earn a bonus."
"In this way, he will be kicked out soon.
"Ha...Ha....Ha..., he will return to the settlent once more."
The guides communicated with each other.
