Chapter 1485: The escape failed
From MC’s Perspective:
In the middle of the night, I left the inn in secret. But I found the city was active at night as well. Some of the shops were still open.
People can be seen entering these shops. After glancing at them, I started going towards the exit. I’m still wearing the mask. No one can see through my identity.
On the way, I came across people going about their business. But none of them were bothered whether anyone was leaving the city or not.
Soon, I reached the other end of the city wall. But when I got closer to the city wall.
[Ding! Warning!]
[A Supreme Wizard’s consciousness is scanning the city.]
Hearing that, I was shocked. I didn’t expect the Supreme Wizard to be present in this city. It must be the City lord.
Each city near Willow Peak City is getting stronger. The next city might be even more dangerous. When the Supreme Wizard’s consciousness is about to scan me.
I told the system to remove the blocking. A strong force goes through my body. Then I started walking towards the city gate.
When I got closer. I saw the wizards dressed in green clothes. They are actively patrolling the place. I came to a certain blind spot and waited for the patrol guards to go.
When they left the place temporarily. I used the flight ability to fly over the wall. My mouth curves into an arc. Just as I thought I’m going to cross the wall.
A sense of crisis came out of nowhere.
[Ding! Warning]
[A Grade 10 Artifact has detected the host]
A mechanical voice sounded in my mind. Hearing that my eyes turned cold. I immediately retreated and returned to the previous spot.
The sense of crisis disappeared a few seconds later.
But I didn’t want to stay here. The patrol guards must have been alarmed by now.
Swoosh!
So I started going back to my inn. At the same time, the Patrol guards immediately rushed to the spot. It’s the exact spot where Artifact had found the trespasser.
Seeing that there was no one here. They realised that the person must have escaped and returned to the city. If he had tried to fly over, he would have been attacked by the Artifact.
“Someone tried to leave the city. Yet he changed his decision at the last moment,” One of the patrol guards said.
“The visitors don’t know the existence of the Artifact,” Another guard raised the question.
“They must have seen us before fleeing. Let’s continue to patrol. We must tighten the security,” the guard replied.
Meanwhile,
I returned to the inn quickly. Then I went back to my room. After closing the door, I went to bed. Once again, I’m looking at the ceiling while lying down.
I had tried to leave the city. But I didn’t expect them to install a Grade-10 Artifact. I don’t know whether it’s an attack or a defence-type Artifact.
“It looks like I don’t have a choice other than to leave the city tomorrow,” I said to myself.
Then I fell asleep.
At the same time, the city administration wasn’t alarmed. Because the trespassing issue occurs from time to time.
Since a Grade-10 Artifact was installed. They were not afraid of any issues. But if someone powerful goes over, they can’t do anything to that person.
The trespasser who returned to the city must be weaker.
Time passed,
The next morning, I woke up and got out of bed. Then I started doing the morning routine. While doing that the system warned me again.
The consciousness of the Supreme Wizard is again scanning the city. Hearing that my heart turned cold. Though I understood it was the routine work of the City Lord. But it’s again the privacy.
What if someone powerful enters the city? I controlled my emotions and resumed the work. Later, I came down to the inn to have breakfast.
But there is nothing good in this inn. Since this city has rules for the visitors. I have decided to spend the money on good food.
I left the inn and started looking for a good restaurant. It didn’t take long for me to find one. I went inside and found a seat to sit.
At the same time, there were a small number of customers inside the shop this time. I started listening to the conversation until the staff arrived.
From their conversation, I came to know that they had been here for the last two days. Yet the patrol guards were not letting them go.
It appears that they didn’t match their quota of spending. I started to think. I don’t know whether it’s okay to cooperate or escape. Just like I have done in Glasshaven City.
But the problem here is different. The City Lord here is the Supreme Wizard. They have a Grade-10 Artifact. I don’t think it’s good to get involved in unnecessary trouble.
After gaining some clarity, I have decided to spend money to leave the city. Then the staff came to get the order. I ordered the meat of the monsters.
I’m still wearing a mask. From time to time, one or two people look in my direction. I ignored them and minded my own business.
Ten minutes later,
The staff brings the food for me. After setting it on the table, he left. Then I started eating it.
Meanwhile,
Nikos and his team members left their inn as well. Though their inn is decent. They wanted to eat outside. Marcos and his team members arrived at the same conclusion.
They wanted to spend their money on food instead of other things. They didn’t have great food in the previous cities either.
Only Nikos was still thinking about the masked man. They got to know that travel companion yesterday. But he had picked a different inn to stay.
Then Nikos left with his members to find an expensive restaurant. Unknownst to them, their activities were noted down by the inn owners.
The inn owners heard their conversations and started reporting to the green-clothed wizards.
