From MC's perspective:
After walking for 20 minutes, the airship platform came into view. I can see a large airship standing next to each other.
But when I tried to enter the platform, The guard stopped me all of a sudden.
"The registration desk is on that way," The Guard said, pointing his finger in the east direction.
Seeing that I nodded my head in response.
Now I have to figure out a way to infiltrate the airship. Then I began to circulate the platform looking for ways to enter.
Suddenly, a familiar scene caught my attention. I see several air cars and other modern flying crafts lined up in the queue.
When I observed the situation more. I found that they are ready to board the airship. Unlike the merchant carriages.
These modern aircraft and flying vehicles showed the status of the owner. The identity of the person must be rich and influential. Maybe a person from the Nobel family.
A good plan comes to my mind. I decided to use the same tactics when I saw Van Richardson at first.
But this time I have to be even more careful. After gaining some clarity, I started to observe more. I have to pick a vehicle now.
Then I spotted a luxurious air vehicle. Compared to normal air cars. This one is big. Seeing that it's guarded by a person.
I can tell that the vehicle is brand new.
Looking at him my mouth curved into an arc. Then I quickly found the guards in front of the entrance gate here as well.
When no one was paying attention. I bypassed the cameras and guards and headed straight toward the queueing vehicles.
At first, no one was paying attention, but when I got closer to the expensive vehicle.
"Who are you?" The person protecting the car questioned me.
I still had a mask on my face. So I wasn't surprised by his question.
"I'm here to take count of the vehicles and check their condition," I replied in a normal tone neither overbearing nor flattering.
The person who looked like a butler of some wealthy dude wasn't convinced by my answer.
"What's with your dressing and mask?" The person raised a question again.
"I'm part of the inner security detail. Do I have to tell you everything?" I said.
The person was scared sh!t.
"Inner security detail?"
If it was a person from the inner security team, then it's something else. It doesn't mean he doesn't want to question him.
Because he didn't dare. Usually, people with some background are part of the inner team. His master had ordered him to protect the vehicle.
So he doesn't want to meddle in other affairs.
And the person was finally convinced and allowed me to do my work. But I sneered inside.
All it took was for me to say some authoritative words. And this guy was convinced. But I didn't do as I said.
When the person was not paying attention. I tried to open the vehicle. Surprisingly, the vehicle was not locked.
After confirming it, I started to put up an act of checking the vehicles.
"I have to enter that vehicle before real guards arrive," I muttered in my heart.
From time to time, the person glanced at me. Seeing that I'm doing my job properly. He retracted his gaze and returned to his usual position.
A few minutes later,
I arrived to check the condition of the luxurious vehicle. And the person then stared at me.
"How to chase him away?" I mumbled under my breath.
The next second, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
"Poison trick," I said in a low tone but it was enough to reach the other person's ears.
"What do you say?" The butler asked.
"Oh, it's nothing," I replied but my eyes were still fixed on the back seat.
But my reaction made him even more scared.
"What did you find tell me?"
"This vehicle is my master's favorite. If anything happens to it, then he will skin me alive," The butler said with a trembling voice.
"Bait was a success," I said in my heart.
Then shaking my head, I replied, "Call someone over here. I need assistance."
Hearing that the butler didn't doubt my words. He seems to be convinced that something is wrong with the vehicle.
He then walked away from this place in a hurry.
Seeing his disappearing back, I let out a small chuckle before entering inside. The interior was as spacious as I had guessed.
Then I carefully observed every detail. Seeing that there was no camera system installed. I sighed in relief.
This modern flying car is half finished. But from outside I got a different view. A lot of work needs to be done inside.
But anyway, this flying car is my ticket to enter the airship.
Swoosh~
I disappeared from the spot and appeared in the Gregor Mansion. Then I entered the control room to look at the situation outside.
A few minutes later,
The butler came back with few authorities. All of them are level-5 wizards. Each specialized in different magic.
"Where is he?" The butler uttered in surprise, seeing that the security person was nowhere to see.
"Take me to see the magic-infested place," A female wizard stepped forward. She heard someone placing poison in vehicles.
Her awakened magic is related to poison. So she can easily find the trace of poison.
Hearing that the butler came back to reality. He thought the security person must have gone to seek help.
So he immediately turned to the female official and started to explain.
Hearing that the female wizard frowned. She found that the butler's words were not credible.
But before refuting she decided to check the vehicle.
The other wizards behind her also started checking the vehicles.
The female came in front of the big luxurious vehicle. Seeing that she revealed a weird expression.
The butler standing next to her stepped forward and said, "He told me something was wrong with the backseat."
Hearing that the female wizard opened the car door to look inside. At first, she was cautious.
She doesn't want to get caught off guard. So she was ready to cast a magic spell at any moment.
But when she saw the spacious interior and comfy backseat. Her forehead is covered with black lines. She can tell that the butler was fooled.
Because she got no magic reading from the interior. Which means there were no traces of magic spells. Let alone the work of poison.
Her frown immediately turned into anger.
"Look here there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. Someone played a prank on you," The female wizard said with a dissatisfied voice.
By that time the other wizards also heard her words. After knowing that they came here for nothing. Everyone's heart boiled in anger.
But they didn't openly scold him. The identity of the Butler is unusual. Including the female wizard, the other wizards left the place quickly.
The butler's intestines turned green with regret. He couldn't guess why it happened. Why would someone play a prank on him?
Meanwhile,
"Ha...Ha...Ha...," I laughed out loud in the control room. I heard their conversations.
But fortunately, the authorities didn't pay much attention to my identity. They must have thought some random person messed with the butler.
Then I pushed down these thoughts and waited for the queuing vehicles to board the airship.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
8 P.M
I finally heard a sound at 8 o'clock. I opened my eyes and looked at the mirror screen. Apart from the interior of the vehicle. I wasn't able to see other things.
But from the moving sound, I can confirm that vehicles start moving.
Creak~
The car door opened. And I saw someone taking the seat in the driver's seat.
When I saw him. I immediately recognized the person. He is none other than the same butler.
But this time his mood was different. He looked quite happy. I don't know what happened in the meantime.
The butler then started to drive. Through the front mirror, I caught a glimpse of an airship.
A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. At close, the airship looked gigantic. The size is comparable to the academy's normal fleet.
I can't wait to explore the airship at midnight.
35 minutes later,
We came closer to the entrance. Then the butler followed another vehicle and drove it toward the parking area.
The parking area of the vehicle is just a small section of the entire airship. There were no other difficulties.
After parking the butler stood in front of the vehicle like he used to do. Seeing that my eyes flickered with a slight glint.
"This guy?"
"Don't tell me he won't get rest," I said to myself.
I'm aware that many people are working on this airship. They will take care of the parked vehicles.
Then why does he not go anywhere? A lot of doubts appeared in my heart. The butler's behavior is odd. And I'm yet to see his master.
What kind of person owns this incomplete air car? A slight curiosity appeared in my heart.
