From MC's Perspective:
I left the Silver Tower and ca to the main street. But my mind is on the task. The task seems to be simple. Yet there is a hidden threat.
I shook my head before taking out the mask to wear. I had never thought my day to explore the outside of the magic city would co sooner.
Then I booked an aircab and started to wait for it.
About 10 minutes later,
The aircab ca to a stop. I entered inside and sat in the back seat. The driver is an old man. He turns around and asks .
"Go to the black mine outside of the magic city," I said to the driver.
"What?" the old man blurted out.
Then he saw the mage robe of the Silver Tower. His eyes flickered with understanding.
The old man's reaction stunned . He seems to know about the black mine.
"Mister, do you know about the black mine?" I asked.
"Don't you know?" the old man asked back.
I realized he is looking at my Silver Tower robe. But he doesn't know my real identity. If he sees my badge, he would know. But I have my badge stored in a bracelet.
"I'm a new staff mber. I don't know. Can you tell about it?" I asked.
The old man's eyes flashed with fear. Then, thinking about custor being from the Silver Tower, he decides to tell him.
"Young man, since you work at the Silver Tower, I thought you would know," he said.
"But let tell you. The black mine is not an ordinary mine. It has magic iron ores. The place is filled with nurous dangers."
"For example, the black mine is a place where black rock monsters live. They suck away the vitality of the miners."
"Nowadays, criminals are working there as miners. More importantly, that place is under the control of the Silver Tower," the old man said in a grim tone.
My heart set off storms. I knew there was a hidden threat. The black mine happens to be a dangerous place.
But I'm running an errand for Forbidden Wizard Erwin. I don't think the Supre Wizard Hellen would make things difficult for .
Then I looked at the old man.
"Right!"
"Do you know anything about Supre Wizard Hellen?"
Gasp!
Hearing that, the old man took a sharp breath.
"She is the manager. She is also from the Silver Tower. Don't you know?" he asked back.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I shook my head before saying, "Thanks for your info. Can you go to the place?"
The old man's eyes flashed with a glint. He thinks the staff is going to do so errands.
Swoosh!
The flying cab hovers above the ground. Then it rose to mid-air before going towards the black mine.
anwhile,
Old man Filip went to the magic city to find the information broker.
The information broker has an unusual identity. He works as a chef in a dium-sized restaurant. Not many know about his identity.
Because he does exclusive work for a few like-minded wizards, Filip cos to the restaurant. He imdiately went to et him.
The information broker was a middle-aged man with brown hair and a beard. He has an obese body. At the sa ti, he is a level-9 wizard. His na is Antonio.
With this strength, he can safely roam around the streets. When the middle-aged man saw Filip, he cracked a wide grin.
He didn't expect to et an esteed custor during working hours. Then he told the old man to wait. After getting cleaned up, he invited the old man to his office.
There was no one walking around. The backside of the restaurant is restricted for custors to enter.
Antonio and Filip walked inside the room and sat in their respective seats.
Antonio was stroking his beard. He had known the old man Filip for a long ti. So he thought the information must be extrely important.
"Old man, what information did you bring this ti?" Antonio asked.
Filip smiled and replied, "Vincent Carey!"
Hearing the na, Antonio was startled. How could he not know the na? Everyone in the magic city and other satellite cities is familiar with the na.
But he looked at the old man Filip in fear. As an information broker, he knows about the Silver Tower. Both the old man and the new wizard are mbers of the Silver Tower.
The old man had co to sell his information. Antonio was hesitating because he knew people had seen Lord Charlotte during the duel between Vincent Carey and Tom Doyle.
He doesn't want to offend the Forbidden Wizard, let alone the infamous Forbidden Wizard Charlotte of the Silver Tower.
Old man Filip's smile disappeared. He had thought Antonio would be interested in the information. Yet he was hesitating. For the first ti, he saw a money-grabbing person showing hesitation.
"Antonio!"
"No problem will co. You just have to tip off the information to the Black Tower," Filip said with a grin.
"What?" Antonio's fat body trembled in fear.
"Do you want to kill him?"
"Are you out of your mind?" Antonio shouted at him.
He was really scared because he was not a mber of the Magic Tower. So he wouldn't dare to take the risk.
Old man Filip's face reddened with anger. He didn't expect his old friend to shout at him. But he realizes one thing: Antonio is really scared of the Forbidden Wizard.
If Lord Charlotte found out the truth, then he wouldn't escape. But he wanted the Black Tower to take action. It's never going to be him killing the kid.
"Look, Antonio. I'm determined to leak this information. If it goes through you, you can earn a lot of money. Think about it," Filip said to him.
Antonio was left speechless. He hadn't expected old man Filip to go crazy. He can't be involved in this madness.
More than money, he values his life.
"No!"
"Supre Wizard Filip. I don't want to offend the Silver Tower. Especially, I don't want to be killed by Lord Charlotte," Antonio rejected him.
Filip got angry.
"Harumph," he snorted before leaving the place.
Antonio looked at his back with calculation.
