From MC's perspective:
My eyes didn't leave the mirror. I can see that the butler is still standing in front of the vehicle. As time passes, I'm getting impatient.
But when I thought that the situation would take a turn for the worse. The butler received a call from someone.
He seems to be on call for a moment before he walks away hastily. Seeing his disappearing back, a hint of relief flashes in my eyes.
Swoosh~
I appeared in the back seat and then I opened the door to walk out.
Feeling the solid ground, my mood eases down a little bit. The 1st phase of my plan is complete.
Next, I have to find a suitable spot to hide. Until the airship reaches its destination. When I walked out of the parking area.
I found very many people standing on the deck here and there, enjoying the outside view. But undoubtedly everyone's clothing shows their status.
I don't know what these people are going to do after landing near the dark forest. But anyway, thanks to them. I got a nice lift.
Then I pushed down these thoughts before finding any room nearby. I don't want to go anywhere near people. It would attract unwanted attention.
When I started to look around. I was able to find a few things. Apart from the captain's room. There is room for guests. And guests are presumably VVIP.
So both of these places are dangerous for me. But when I thought about it, I was unlucky. I found one small store room and an emergency clinic room.
Storeroom where all the mechanical tools are kept. In case of any repair, they will get parts from here.
The emergency clinic is a mandatory one. Anyone can get sick. Especially when traveling with high-class people. The management has to make sure everything is safe.
Then I made up my mind to hide in the store room for the time being. Somewhere in my heart, I do want to appreciate the beauty of nature and enjoy the passing scenes of the country.
But there is still a killing sword hanging above my head. Then shaking my head, I turned around to enter the store room.
But suddenly I overheard a familiar voice from a distance.
"Master, I'm sorry."
"I didn't know someone dared to fool me."
When the voice again reached my ears. My mouth curves into arcs.
"Isn't he the butler? Looks like he found his master," I said in my heart.
Earlier, I wanted to see what his master looked like. Now I have an opportunity to do so. But I have to be careful.
The captain's team has eyes and ears everywhere. That's why I don't want to stand out too much.
Right now, others might think I'm a fellow passenger like them. So my presence won't attract much attention.
Then I slowly walk toward the direction where the voice is coming from.
After walking a few steps, I saw a black-haired man slapping a butler. And the identity of the butler. No need to doubt.
He was the same one who was protecting the vehicle earlier. Well, this slapping incident attracted the attention of other passengers.
"Oh, My.."
"Isn't he the young master of the Kramer Family?"
When someone from the passengers opened his mouth.
Others quickly recognized the identity of the person.
"Dudley Kramer"
"What is he doing here?" Another person uttered a name after recognition.
Gasp~
A small exclamation broke out.
Seeing people gathering around. The young master Dudley gave a cold snort before walking away with his butler.
At the same time, watching the scene my eyes gleamed with twinkle. Passengers here all have some kind of background.
Apart from knowing the name. I even overheard some people spilling the royal secrets. I couldn't help but click my tongue.
The fight between the Silver House and the Brown House is having a bigger impact than I thought.
There are several small families attached to these 2 big families. Nobody knows how the turmoil is going to end. So they are sending their sons and daughters to hide in uncharted territories.
And the dark forest is one of those uncharted territories. After hearing all those conversations, my expression turned weird.
Then why bring such a luxurious air car with him? Doubt appeared in my heart. I wanted to follow the person named Dudley.
But I stopped myself from doing that. There is a possibility that he is being protected by a strong wizard on this ship.
Unlike the butler, I can't confront the strong wizard without planning. A quick glint flashes in my eyes.
Then I turned around and walked to the store room. From beginning to end no one suspected me. And I also avoided going around the pilot room.
Creak~
After entering inside, I didn't wait to inspect the whole room.
Swoosh~
Rather, I appeared in the Gregor Mansion. Nowadays, I appreciate the existence of the Gregor Mansion more.
This mansion has been helping me to safely stride through many problems. It's like my isolated world.
Then shaking my head, I went to my bed.
Meanwhile,
Dudley Kramer came back to his VVIP room.
This room was specially arranged for him. As his Kramer family is attached to the Silver Family. The people behind the airship took special care of him.
He leisurely sat down on a comfy seat. Opposite him, a man in his fifties is sitting down in his seat. He is none other than his guardian.
Whereas his butler is waiting outside the door.
Feeling Dudley's presence, the man opened his eyes. He is already aware of what happened outside. The next moment, a trace of displeasure flashes in his eyes.
"Young master, you should avoid standing out," He advised.
"Harumph,"
"Elder Clayton, do you think people would come to the dark forest to catch me," Dudley said with a cold snort.
He dislikes the behavior of the Elder. Because Elder Clayton was too cautious.
Sigh~
A helpless sigh left Clayton's mouth. When he accepted the request from Kramer Family's head. He knew how difficult it was going to be.
But still, he hoped to see some change in the Young master of the Kramer family.
And he is not giving him face at all. He just hopes to arrive at the dark forest quicker. In that way, he can plan for upcoming danger.
Dudley doesn't know. But he knows some people want to go fishing in the muddled water. The fight between the 2 noble families has brought unwanted danger.
It gave an opportunity to ambitious wizard families. So it's inevitable that many wizard families will become dust and some new ones will rise eventually.
Then he closed it again.
Dudley Kramer didn't want to argue either. So he began to watch entertainment stuff in holographic projection.
The following day,
The Gregor Mansion:
I woke up from my sleep. But I feel sudden uneasiness swell up in my heart. "What happened?" I muttered to myself.
Then I put the unnecessary thoughts back off my mind before getting out. Then I went to complete my morning routine.
20 minutes later,
I arrived in the middle of the hallway. I decided to use high-grade mana stones for practice. Then I sat cross-legged on the ground and started running the gravity ark mental method.
Right after, gray-colored mana particles entered my body. Then I guided the energy according to the mental method.
After circulation, the refined mana entered my mana space. The pebble rock size mana core sitting inside the mana core space quickly absorbs the incoming refined mana.
Seeing that I continued to repeat the process. As time went on, I saw a small change in mana core size. It has slightly increased in size.
3 hours later,
After feeling the limit, I opened my eyes three hours later.
