Chapter 746 Maple City
From MC's perspective:
The next day,
I have successfully entered another big city. This City is called Maple. Here, I can board the Train to the Capital City.
But as I started roaming around the city. I found there is a certain number of police wizards patrolling the streets.
Seeing that, I wasn't surprised. The news of Willow City must have reached them. One by one the cities are getting attacked.
And the police wizard force might be feeling the heat. If my guess is right, their higher-ups have already figured it out.
They can't offend a big organization. It doesn't matter if it's an academy or an evil organization.
All they can do is to appease the public. Shaking my head, I stride towards the Railway Station. I avoided getting into the air cab. Because I have decided to observe the mood of the residents.
On the way, I came across other pedestrians who were talking about day-to-day life. Surprisingly, their conversation involved the topic of recent attacks on popular cities.
Hearing this I couldn't help but to listen to them.
My appearance didn't attract much attention. On top of that, no mana fluctuations are released from my body.
So there is no difference between me and residents when it comes to appearance.
The pedestrians have no clue about the recent attacks. They are making up some assumptions. There is no escaped prisoner whatsoever.
If they know an unknown high-ranking rogue wizard is freely roaming inside the country. Then their reaction would be terrible. But the government would never publish the truth.
After crossing a few more streets, I arrived at the Train station. This Maple City train station looks good.
There are already a certain number of people entering the train station. Seeing that I walked towards the entrance.
After entering inside, I arrived in front of the ticket counter. Then I told the staff about my destination.
After purchasing the ticket with alliance points, I went to my platform next. As usual, I found an empty spot to sit down.
But this time, I have no intention of picking up the calls or replying to the message. Somehow the hostile forces learn about my whereabouts.
And I don't even know how they do it.
Suddenly, I hear a commotion.
"Quickly, search the place."
"See if any unwanted people are staying here"
The loud commanding voice reached my ears. Then I saw wizards wearing navy blue dresses checking people.
"Police Wizards," I uttered in a surprise.
I just saw them roaming outside the city. "What's the urgency?" I said in my heart.
The police wizards are level-4 wizards. The middle-aged man is their Captain. And he is a level-5 wizard.
I looked at him and saw a deep frown on his face. He is standing not far away from me. Something troubled his mind deeply.
The Captain saw his men working diligently. But still, he wasn't able to remove the frustration in his heart.
"The higher-ups are overreacting. If our country's capital is on alert, then what's the need for all the cities to be put under caution," He said to himself.
But he doesn't know someone else is hearing his muttering.
"What?"
"The Capital is under alert?" I said in my heart.
Then I raised my communication watch and began to search for articles.
When the page opened. I saw many articles. I opened the article to read it. On the other hand, the police wizards are checking everyone.
5 minutes later,
I realized what happened. Senior Gibert must be waiting for me. He must have surrounded the Capital City Station.
A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. Are there any wicked wizards waiting for me? Otherwise, Senior Gilbert wouldn't have made such preparation.
By this time, a police wizard walked up to me.
"Show me your ticket," He asked.
Hearing that I showed my ticket. After verifying it, he walked away. The operation came to an end quickly.
Shortly after, the Captain left with his men.
30 minutes later,
The highly fortified train to the capital city arrives at the platform. When the train came to a halt.
The passengers start to board. Apart from me, there are few other people. So the place is not deserted.
After getting inside, I went to the window seat to sit down.
"Hmmm," I raised my eyebrows in surprise. I saw some concern on other passenger's faces. If my guess is right, they are worrying about the same situation as well.
Shaking my head, I closed my eyes.
....
The Taboo Hall's separate space.
The slender-looking man and the female powerhouse once again discuss the ongoing matter.
"Have you shared my concern with the shadow skull?" He asked.
The female powerhouse nodded her head by saying, "Elder, I spoke to the administrator. He said that he would convey our message to the castle owner."
"Castle Owner uh," He muttered to himself. He is not clear about the strength of the mysterious castle owner and the Shadow Skull.
It's just a simple task to kill a mere level-5 ant. But he didn't expect the infamous assassin organization to fail miserably.
Not only that, the bloodline hall also gave up targeting that gravity kid. He knows that the old fox of the bloodline hall has guessed something.
"Harumph, "He gave a cold snort in his heart.
Everything is going against his plan recently.
Beside him, the female powerhouse saw the mood changes in him. She could understand the reason behind his anger.
Suddenly, she thought of something before saying, "Elder, a few of our elite wizards have returned from their trip. Maybe they can deal with Vincent Carey."
Hearing that he raised his eyebrows. "The idea seems to be good. But we are not at a complete dead end."
"The Shadow Skull's level-7 wizard is still waiting near the City border. There is still one chance left for us," He said to her.
The female powerhouse wasn't surprised but the problem is nobody knows the whereabouts of Vincent Carey.
The slender-looking elder saw through her thoughts.
"Let's contact the fateful women again. She has already helped us once. She won't mind doing it again," He said with a smile.
The female powerhouse was shocked. At the same time, a fear appeared in her eyes. The powerhouse of Unique Hall was not an ordinary elder.
If possible, she doesn't want to have any contact with her.
But it can't be helped right now. After getting permission, she left the place.
The Unique Hall's separate space:
A few minutes later,
The Taboo Hall's female powerhouse entered the place. Inside the fate woman opened her eyes.
She was not surprised by her appearance. She also keeps an eye on recent information. Which includes the updates of Vincent Carey.
Seeing that the Taboo Hall was unsuccessful in their attempts. She had an urge to laugh it out loud.
But she controlled her emotions. It's not that very often that you can see failures of the Taboo Hall. Especially now they are struggling hard to kill Vincent Carey.
That kid has a tenacious life. He can come out as a winner in all sorts of situations. Even she was surprised herself considering the recent events.
There is an unidentified level-7 wizard on the loose. And the Sub-Taboo Hall is trying their best to support that kid. But their manpower is not enough.
From her magic, she felt the Sub-Taboo Hall's other members would return soon.
"Elder!" A sudden voice broke her thoughts. She thought the same female powerhouse was asking for permission.
She then allowed her to enter inside. Feeling the barrier was removed. She further walked into the place.
Then she saw the same white-clothed elder sitting on the chair.
The female powerhouse didn't want to waste more time. She then inquired about the details.
"You guys want the current location of that kid," The fateful woman asked.
Hearing that the female powerhouse nodded her head.
The fateful woman knitted her eyebrows for a moment. She is already aware of Vincent's current whereabouts.
Just a few minutes ago, she used her magic to vaguely guess the location.
"This kid is on his way back to the academy. And he is most probably coming by train, "she said to her.
Hearing that the female powerhouse was stunned. More than the answer, she was surprised by the woman's willingness to answer.
On the other hand, the fate women saw through her thoughts. There is a reason for her willingness. She doesn't think that Taboo Hall is going to succeed.
On top of it, the crippled old man had already asked her the same question last night. That's why the Sub-Taboo Hall was able to set up a trap in the Capital City with the help of the dean.
The female powerhouse realized that it was time for her to leave. After thanking the fateful woman, she immediately left the spot.
The fate woman then looked in the direction of the Sub-Taboo Hall.
"Is he going to take action?" The fate woman said in her heart.
