Chapter 631 Part 1: Going to the border town
From MC's perspective:
The old man guided me to the office building.?He then walked into the office alone to meet someone. Seeing that I started observing the surroundings.
If the old man's words are true then a big white airship might come to this place at any time.
Not long after, the old man walked out with 3 more people. They appear to be the same age as well over 5os.
"Oh, you are quite young."
"Are you sure he can handle the labor work?" One of them asked.
Heading that I fiercely nodded my head at them.
Seeing that kid was obedient and sensible. Three of them showed approval.
"Okay, kid. Then I'm leaving. You can leave after going to the border town. And good luck with your search. Hope you will reunite with them soon," After saying that, the old man decided to leave.
"Thank you, mister," I replied.
When the garage old man was gone. I turned towards the other three.
The three middle-aged people looked at me. One of them said, "I heard your story from the garage old man. Don't worry, the airship will arrive soon. We can leave then."
"Okay," I replied. Then they allowed me to enter the office. They gave me a labor uniform to wear. It was blue.
Then I went to the bathroom to change my clothes. The sudden changeover won't raise any suspicion.?Besides, no one can see through my strength without the permission of the system.
Later, my superiors gave me food to eat. Which was the low mana meat of the monster. I was pleasantly surprised by the menu. The treatment of the workers here is not bad.
Next, I started to wait for the airship to arrive.
10 minutes later,
The 3 middle-aged men walked out.
"Let's go, the airship has arrived. We need to unload items from that ship," One of them said.
Hearing that I followed them from behind. Right now, they are dressed in the blue labor uniform as well.
I was wondering what kind of ship. But when I walked out of the building. I saw a massive white airship land on the platform neatly.
Seeing that my pupil shrinks. As I have guessed, McCarthy Russ's ship has come. But I didn't expect my work to be assigned to that ship.
Then I slowly followed my superiors. When we got closer. I saw the door open and a person wearing a white uniform with medals on his chest was walking out with his followers.
"Level 7 or 8 wizard?" I said in my heart. But I'm certain that McCarthy Russ was not a Level-6 wizard. Fortunately, I have a system with me.
Then I adjusted my emotions. On the other hand,?McCarthy left with his entourage.
When everyone was gone.
"Phew!"
"Now we can start our work." the superior said.
Hearing that my attention turned towards the task. As we entered the ship, We saw a lot of goods in the room.
All of them are metallic. It's hard to tell what item is stored inside. Then I saw the laborers starting to unload.
They are taking the container to some other building. My heart tells me to find out. But I kept my cool and started to lend a hand as well.
When I picked the metallic container using my bare hands. Everyone dropped their jaws. Because no one expected a teenager to lift the box in the air just like that.
On the other hand,
McCarthy Russ reached his room. His guards stood outside of the room. While he and his assistant entered the room.
After reaching the desk, McCarthy leisurely sat on the main chair.
"Phew!"
"It's nice to get back to the office," He muttered.
Then he started to hear reports from his assistants.
"Lord Kevin has entered the crown forest. But still, there is no report from him," The female assistant said.
"Kevin uh?"
McCarthy began to ponder. It was too bad he was not assigned to explore the crown forest. He wonders what the higher-ups are thinking.
He is not any lower than Kevin. If Kevin manages to accomplish something. Then his reputation will soar.
A hint of jealousy flashes in his eyes. The only way to overcome this trouble is to make a better record.
"What about the border reports?" McCarthy asked.
The female assistant adjusted her glass before saying, "Lord, the border situation appears to be neutral. There is no sign of foreign wizards appearing there."
McCarthy began to tap the desk. Some time ago, the Police Organization received solid intel about the foreign wizard.
The Intel was not from anywhere but the neighboring country. So there is little to no foul play by local forces in this matter.
If he can capture the foreign wizard, the merit will rise. It may be higher than Kevin's exploration mission.
"I want the airship ready. It's better to visit the border town than wasting time here," McCarthy said.
Hearing that the female assistant nodded her head before leaving the room.
25 minutes later,
We finished unloading the items. Now the airship looks empty beside the luxurious rooms.
Not long after, a supervisor came to inform us. After hearing that the airship is going to depart shortly. Everyone became tense.
Apart from a few laborers, the rest of them left. I'm one of the laborers asked to board the ship. Strangely, no one doubted my identity.
Maybe everyone thought I was a low-level wizard.
I went along with other laborers to the store room. Where we can stay inside. The luxurious rooms are for the owner and his followers.
I didn't make any complaints.
Shortly after,
McCarthy Russ came together with his assistant and guards. Everyone boarded the ship. After a few seconds, the airship starts to take off.
"Wow, we are going to the border town this time."
"I wonder whether we can find some antique goods."
"I don't want antique goods. I'm going to buy tech items on the black market. I heard the prices of the black market were low these days."
Inside the store room, the laborers started their fun chat. I closed my eyes and started to listen to their conversation.
