From MC's Perspective:
2 hours later,
The beast cart dropped me on the outskirts of the Capital City. From there, I decided to walk alone. Normally low-level wizards travel to the City on a walk.
Only wizards with certain wealth can afford transportation. Even paying for an air cab required a certain amount of wealth. Back at home, my parents used to give me some money.
Here I'm struggling to make money. This situation can't go on. While I'm walking along the road. I noticed some pedestrians. They seem to be from wealthy families.
After shifting my attention back to the trip. I began to contemplate. Before going to the station, I need to buy a mask.
"Hey, a fistfight broke out between young masters of the famous family last night"
"Really?"
"What happened?"
"They say that it's because of women from the Weapon Palace. She used her ice magic sword to injure opponents."
Meanwhile, I stopped my footsteps after hearing their mumbling. I thought they were gossiping. So what is it about the ice magic weapon?
Victoria Shields is studying in the Weapon Palace. Is it her? Then shaking my head, I pushed down these throughs. First, I have to focus on my mission.
Whatever it is, I can gather information later.
Several minutes later,
I entered the Capital City through the gate. I immediately then spotted an air cab. I asked the cab driver to drop me at the nearest magic shop.
The air cab rose from the ground and started to move toward the location. Looking through the window, I found no suspicious activities.
Looks like the bloodline hall has failed to catch up with me. But if they find mission information they can send someone there. I have to be cautious.
The street was crowded with people. All of them are wizards. I guess it's no place for survival for regular humans.
A few minutes later,
The cab landed before the magic shop. After paying the amount, I stepped outside. Before me, it was an old shop built in a medieval style. But it got three floors.
Seeing people coming and going. I think the shop is quite famous. Then I walk toward the shop.
Creak~
After walking inside, I see staff handling customers. As I glanced over, I see one of the female staff who is quite free at this time.
Seeing her, I walked over and asked, "Hi, can you help me with something?"
The female staff revealed a gentle smile and asked back, "Can you tell me what you want?"
I replied, "I need a mask to cover up my face."
The female staff looked surprised before her expression turned normal. People who request these types of items usually are adventurers.
The female staff then went to collect the requested items. Seeing that I sighed inwardly. It's good that she didn't ask for unnecessary information.
While she was busy collecting the stuff. I just looked around. Some customers are buying some items. But when I looked around the shop, I saw no trace of dangerous stuff.
All are modern-day magic tools. Some of them are mechanical tools with inscriptions written on them. Suddenly something caught my attention.
There is a mechanical bug placed on the rack. I find it interesting because it's a tracking bug made up of magic and modern technology.
This thing will be very useful to me.
"Ah, young man. What are you looking at?"
Suddenly, a voice reached my ears. When I turned around, I saw an old shopkeeper sitting behind the desk.
Shaking my head, I replied, "Nothing."
Though the items look interesting. I don't have the money to buy it. At this time the female staff returned with a few masks in hand.
The masks are made up of different skin qualities. Some of them are made with animal skin, wooden masks, and unknown origins.
The female staff placed the different masks on the table side by side. She said, "Sir, come and take a look at this different mask."
