Chapter 683 Red Axis: 3rd Rate Evil Organization
Beluz City,
Triple Killer ordered some drinks. At the same time, he perked up his ears to listen.
"Harumph"
"Lots of homeless and disabled low-level wizards are disappearing in large numbers these days."
"Don't know who is cleaning up?"
Three people in adventurer dress are discussing with each other.
Hearing that his interest increased. Others might now know but as a wizard from one of the evil organizations.
The disappearance of the bodies meant one thing. Which is someone experimenting or it could be trafficking.
So he continued to listen.
"Hey, I heard one of our own was missing last night. So it's better not to spend the whole night here," One of the adventurers said.
Hearing this Triple killer was so sure that there was some kind of evil organization operating in this city. And the target's mission also confirms that.
Time flies,
Slowly, the customers start to leave. All of them are wizards ranging from level 4 to level 5. There were no high-level wizards here.
Apart from the country's capital, the high-level wizards rarely walk on the streets of other provinces.
Because other provinces lack rich mana. On top of it, the presence of high-level wizards would affect the weak mana environment.
When the trio from the adventurer group stood up from the seat to leave. Triple killer decided to follow them.
He thinks he can find something by following them.
After leaving the inn, the trio starts walking down the street. Apart from the night goers, there aren't any residents roaming around these streets late at night.
The trio doesn't know that someone is following them. They are level-5 wizards part of a big adventurer team.
Just before they could reach their hotel. A person wearing hoarse clothing blocked their path. Seeing that the trio thought some nameless beggar was asking for food.
So they ignored and tried to walk past him.
Rumble~
But all of a sudden, the person wearing hoarse clothes started attacking them.
2 long black vines released from his palm and tied all three of them in a blink of an eye.
The adventurers' expression was filled with horror. Because all three of them are level-5 wizards. It's not easy for everyone to take them down together.
Unless the opposite person is a high-level wizard. Looking at the person wearing hoarse clothes. All three of them understood something.
This might be the kidnapper who captured their member yesterday.
"He...He...He..."
"You adventurer groups are an easy product to make money. I hope there will be more adventurer teams to visit this city," After saying that he looked at three of them with a smile.
The trio are horrified at this point. They tried to escape. But the binding was too tight. They weren't able to move their body an inch.
Click!
Before they could cast the spell. Something pricked them. When the trio looked down. They saw long and sharp thorns piercing their body.
In a few seconds, three of them fainted on the spot.
"He....He....He....," The evil wizard let out a weird laugh before taking their body with him.
Not long after he left. The triple killer appeared from the shadows. He had watched the whole thing.
The attacker was a single wizard. And he is not a mere low-level wizard. The triple killer was sure that the attacker was a level-6 wizard.
That's why he didn't want to show up and rattle the snake.
At the same time, he was surprised that a high-level evil wizard was lurking in this small interconnected province.
The triple killer was now more interested in finding this organization before setting up a trap.
Time flies,
The evil wizard in a hoarse cloth reaches a less populated area. There are few residential buildings here. Even most of them are unoccupied.
He then entered one of those buildings. This run-down building is extremely damaged. But as he walks inside.
Thick black roots have entangled the pillars of the building. The black roots are stretching from the ground and spreading around to support the whole building.
When he reaches the main area. He throws three of their bodies on the ground. Not long after, a few more people came in wearing the same hoarse cloth.
Looking at the 2 unconscious bodies wearing the adventurer clothes.
One of them laughed and said, "We have struck a rich today."
"The adventurer's body organs can get us a huge amount of money,"
Hearing that the wizard who brought them sneered.
"I know you guys are enthusiastic but don't forget my share. It's not easy to catch adventurers every day," he said.
Hearing that all the enthusiastic voices died down. Because the rest of them are mere level-5 wizards. They can't discuss terms with a strong level-6 wizard who knows the ruling power.
But they don't know someone else is watching their movements.
The triple killer was hiding in the shadows. As he had guessed, the missing persons are captured by these wizards for organ trafficking.
Which is not less cruel than the human experiment.
Then he decides to listen further to their conversation.
An hour later,
Triple Killer left their hideout without alerting anyone. He didn't have any intentions of saving those adventurers. He was an evil wizard, to begin with.
Now that he knows their hideout. He can arrange a trap to let the target come here. If it was done, then he could watch everything from the sidelines.
Once it was confirmed that the target doesn't have a life-threatening trump card. He can then kill them with ease.
He was sure that this was the same organization mentioned in the target's mission. But there was a catch. The level-6 wizard seems to have recently broken through.
So there was a flaw in intel. So the evil organization is no longer a 3rd rate force. With the level-6 wizard as head, the organization can be rated as a medium-sized force.
Apart from the head, there are a couple of level-5 wizards and some low-level wizard assistants. Apart from that he didn't find any life signals there.
...
From MC's perspective:
Time flies,
After a few weeks of travel, the heavily fortified train reaches Belize City. When the train came to a halt at the platform.
The passengers start to leave one by one.
Seeing that I stood up from the seat and wore a mask to cover my face. When I stepped out and walked into the place.
I found that the whole station was small. Not comparable to the Capital. But it was bigger than my home town's station.
After looking around, I made my way towards the exit. On the way, I found many adventurers from the adventurer union.
Seeing that it brings back good memories of my early days. Where I had to visit the wilderness to get familiar with the magic spell.
Looks like there is a branch of the Adventurer Union in this city.
When I walked out of the station. First, I decided to find a hotel to stay in. And soon, I came across a luxurious hotel not far away from the station.
Seeing that I walked up to the registration desk to book the room. The place is not comparable to the capital. But for a mid-tier city. The place is okay.
There is a male staff behind the desk. After booking the room, I paid the amount. After getting the access codes for the room. I then started walking towards my room.
On the way, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows. The staff is only level-4 wizards. There are no high-ranking wizards here. Maybe I'm wrong.
Apart from Capital, it's difficult to see high-level wizards here. Unless they come here for a specific reason like me.
Soon, I reached my room. After entering the access codes, I walked inside the room.
There is a living room right in front of me. There is a bedroom on the right side of it including the attached bathroom. The place is small and compact. But it looks nice.
Then I closed it before going to take a shower.
20 minutes later,
I changed into comfortable clothes. Then I sat on the sofa to think about the next course of plan. The train had arrived this morning.
So I have plenty of time to start my investigation today.
I turned towards my communication watch and began to access it. Soon the mission description comes up.
Seeing that I started to go through it once again. There are many small-scale organizations in this city. And my target was the red axis.
The organization is involved in many crimes. But they had interfered and caused damage to the academy's interest. My eyes flickered.
Then I continued to read further. The head of the organization is a level-5 wizard. So he is not a threat to me. If I want I can easily solve the trouble in a few days.
But I want to use this opportunity to explore the city. I want to visit the marketplaces. Where there is a possibility of coming across something valuable.
Then I decided to check out the city in the evening.
