Black Monk City
At midnight, I boarded the airship. Everything went smoothly. I faced no obstacles. No one asked about my identity.
The other passengers who boarded had special identities as well. The way they spoke to others showed it.
They didn’t seem to be from around there. Most of them had co from the chaotic land. Now, they might be going back to their own places.
The airship departed from the place.
Soon, it reached the border and entered the chaotic land. From beginning to end, no one did any inspection.
That’s how the bribery money worked. I had thought there would be so fight. But the mana stones solved the problem.
Fortunately, I have my own inventory. I had mana stones plundered from others and also money earned from the appraisal shop.
Not only that, I have resources received from the Silver Tower as well. They are yet to be exhausted. I can spend at least a year out here. There will still be so reserves left over.
The airship continued to fly in the sky. The other side of the border is really empty and lawless. There are no city-level infrastructures here.
Instead, there are many makeshift camps. But the power of the people staying in the camps was around Level-8 and Level-9 wizards.
I can tell that plunder and looting are common here. When my gaze swept across the wizards on the deck, I saw there was no change in their emotions.
As if they are used to the situation here. Most of the wizards living in the border area are desperate people.
Ti passed.
Just before morning, an incident occurred. The manager of the airship made a sudden announcent.
"Everyone, due to unforeseen circumstances, we are forced to stop here. The airship won’t travel further."
"The airship will make a U-turn. Those who want to leave can depart now," the manager said in a solemn tone.
Hearing that, the faces of everyone changed drastically. The wizards here are powerful individuals.
But they knew the chaotic land was a mixed land. Dangers are lurking everywhere. The transport companies themselves are quite influential.
They knew a few forces in the chaotic land, so mostly no one troubles them. Yet they were forced to stop here. The situation must be dire.
It could be a battle between forces. If they continued to delay, they could be caught in the crossfire.
Swoosh!
The wizards began to leave the place one by one. In the blink of an eye, most of them left. The deck is almost empty now.
I waited until everyone left. The manager was stunned. He didn’t expect one person to remain.
The manager himself is a Supre Wizard. He sees that I am a Supre Wizard as well, so he beca respectful.
"Young Master, what happened?" the manager asked.
Hearing that, I turned towards the manager.
"Can you tell what’s going on?" I asked.
The manager was taken aback. He looked around. Seeing that there was no one else here, he made a decision.
He thought that I wouldn’t leave without answers.
"Young Master, there is a war between different factions going on ahead. So, we have no choice but to leave," the manager replied.
"Why don’t you take a detour?" I asked him.
Hearing that, the manager looked at from top to bottom.
"It appears Young Master is new to the chaotic land. The chaotic land is vast. There are many factions. We have made deals with a few factions."
"We can only use the routes under their territory. Right now, the route is inaccessible because of the faction fight," the manager explained.
A look of understanding dawned on .
"Could you give a map of the chaotic land?"
"You don’t have to give it to for free." After saying that, I took a random magic artifact from my storage ring.
Seeing the shield-type magic artifact, which is a supre-grade artifact, the manager’s breathing grew short.
A bright smile appeared on my face. The artifact was one of my spoils of war.
The manager then took out a copy of the chaotic land map and gave it to .
"It’s not a complete map. It’s a map created by our transport company based on the experiences of our mbers," the manager said.
"I understand." After saying that, I put the map inside my storage bracelet.
Then I left the deck and flew down to the ground. I landed on the ground and continued to move forward.
The manager recovered his thoughts. He imdiately went to inform the operator. They could go back right now.
On the other hand, I stopped on the branch of a tree. I used the system to probe the surroundings. The system results ca out as negative.
I sighed in relief. Then I entered the Gregor Mansion. I ca to the hall and saw the zero puppet.
I think it’s not ti to activate the puppet yet. Then I sat down in a nearby chair and took the map out.
Then I unfolded the huge map. I saw the terrain was vast, but most of the details were unmarked.
The marked places are the routes charted by the transport company. I followed the route and saw the last marked place was not even close to the middle of the chaotic land.
I have to figure out the rest of the journey from there.
A quick gleam appeared in my eyes. I never expected it to be easy. Then I appeared outside. I once again used the system to confirm whether the location was safe or not.
Then I brought the raven aircraft outside. I entered the raven aircraft and started it.
Swoosh!
The aircraft rose into the sky above the clouds. Then I set the aircraft to stealth mode. Finally, the aircraft beca transparent.
Unless a wizard uses his ntal power, no one can find the aircraft.
The aircraft is moving forward. I set the coordinates according to the map. I didn’t imdiately leave. I know the battlefield is ahead.
There could be a Magic Lord or a Forbidden Wizard among the factions. I will hide inside the system space after getting there.
