From MC''s perspective:


    A few hourster,


    I reached another city. It''s biggerpared to the East City. Here the inspections are done by the City Guards. But there are not many outsiders entering the city.


    I quickly found an opportunity to enter the city discreetly. Inside the city, I entered one of the crowded inns to collect the news.


    After ordering the drink, I found a corner ce to sit down. No one would have imagined a level-6 wizard like me was sitting down in this ce.


    There are many mana signatures here. From level-4 wizards to level-5 wizards. And the level-5 wizards are few. Then I started to listen to their conversation.


    "Hey, finally the turmoil ising to an end


    "The evil wizards have left that ce."


    "Now the forces are returning to their ce from the Adamont Canyon"


    One by one people talked about the news. The news of the Adamont Canyon was important to everyone. As it impacts the daily livelihood of the people in the city.


    If high-ranking wizards continue to roam around and cause a ruckus. Then it would be hard for the low-level wizards to survive.


    That''s why the people are most concerned about this. As long as things returned to normal. They can resume their jobs as mercenaries and escorts.


    On the other hand, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. "Didn''t expect things toe to an end this soon," I said in my heart.


    "Should I contact others?" I asked myself.


    The next second, I shook my head. It''s too risky to expose my whereabouts at this moment. Even during thest time, I didn''t know how the unknown level-7 wizard found my whereabouts.


    I feel it''s better to travel alone.


    Then I continued to listen for a few more minutes before leaving the inn. Apart from the Adamont Canyon, I also heard about this city.


    There are a lot ofmercial caravans leaving for the Capital from this city. If I can make it onboard in one of those caravan ships. Then the return journey will be much easier.


    Without waiting further, I found the location of thosemercial ships. They are parked in the open field of merchantpanies.


    Swoosh!


    As a level-6 wizard, it''s easy for me to get into these ces. Unless the level-6 Wizard and above catches me directly.


    In the blink of an eye, I went from the outer circle of the city and went deeper. The open field area under the merchantpanies came into view.


    I stood on the rooftop of one of the buildings and started to observe the movements down below. There are 6 differentmercial airships parked.


    The six of them belong to 6 majormercial organizations. The size of the airship is doublepared to those built for personal travel.


    People are lining up in queues to board the ship. A quick gleam shes in my eyes. I already got wealth from looting those Wizards earlier.


    Now, I don''t want to let go of these changes. I''m sure thesemercialpanies have alliances. I want to know about them.


    Then I turned my gaze towards those stalls where the tickets were selling.


    Swoosh!


    I disappeared from the spot andnded not far away from the stall. No one has noticed my presence. Apart from many level-5 wizards from eachpany. I see no other level-6 wizards.


    "Hey, brother. Do you need tickets?" A young man approached me for the tickets.


    Hearing that I smiled before taking out the small pouch. Which has 5 mid-grade mana stones.


    I asked, "Can you give me an introduction about these airships and thepanies?"


    "I heard they are big forces," I added. Then I gave the pouch to him.


    The young man was not surprised by the question. Because many people want to know about the situation.


    So when he checked the pouch. His smile deepened.


    "Hey, brother. You found the right person to ask. Let''s go somewhere private to discuss," The young man said before heading towards the tea shop which is located in themercial building.


    On the way, the young man started to introduce the building, "This 10-floor towering building was jointly built by the 6 bigmercial organizations."


    "There are various shops on each floor. On the 2nd floor, there is a famous tea shop. Where we can discuss privately," The young man said.


    Hearing that I felt the 5 mid grade mana stones were worth it. Looks like it''s good to throw out money sometimes. Instead of being sneaky.


    Soon, we reached the 10-floor building. People areing and going. There is no strict inspection.


    After entering inside, we found the lift to reach the 2nd floor. As I said, there is a tea shop on the 2nd floor. I can smell the aroma of tea leaves.


    Then we walked into the shop and asked for a private room to discuss. After entering inside, we sat opposite each other.


    "Hey, brother. Let''s introduce ourselves. I''m Lay. I''m responsible for attracting customers to the stalls."


    "From your question earlier, I can tell that you want to board. Am I right?" Lay asked.


    "This guy is quick-witted, "A hint of surprise shes in my eyes.


    "Yes, I''m here to buy the tickets. But I don''t know whichpany airship is best," I replied. I didn''t tell him that I''m the one going


    I have Gregor Mansion. There is no need to buy the ticket.


    Lay was surprised. He is a level-4 wizard. But he didn''t feel any mana fluctuations from the customer. "Maybe he was sent by someone to inquire about the details," Lay secretly thought in his heart.


    He hade across many situations like this. No big people would directlye to the stall. They would avoid attracting unwanted attention.


    After figuring it out, Lay''s smile deepened further. He wants to seal the deal as soon as possible.


    "Brother, let me tell you. The price of the tickets varies frompany topany."


    "It also depends on whether you guys want a private cabin," Lay added.
