Chapter 1499: Next: Willow Peak City!
From MC’s Perspective:
After beating the Aethel Society people, we got closer to the Red Stone City.
Meanwhile,
The person who got hit first regained his consciousness. He recalled everything the next moment. The memories flooded his mind.
His face filled with fear. When he turned towards the other side. He sees his teammates lying in the pool of blood.
Seeing that he was even more scared. Then he takes it out of his device to call for help. He reported everything to the higher-ups.
After ending the call, he checks himself. His internal organs were smashed. He doesn’t know whether he will be able to survive until help arrives.
Then he finds that his storage bracelet is with him. That person didn’t even bother to loot them. If it were others, they would treat it as a valuable treasure.
He is now more scared of that person’s background than his. If it were a person without a background, then they could kill him.
But if the person had a background, then the Aethel Society had to consider their options. He knows that Aethel Society was not afraid of many organisations.
But he didn’t even think about the Mage union. Mage Union is the most powerful organisation. So he didn’t think about it.
Meanwhile,
The time passes, before the sunrise. Bran and I reached Red Stone City. This is another beautiful fortified city.
“I think we can use the airship right now. There is no need to enter the city,” Bran Tristan said.
Hearing that, I too felt it was a good idea. There is no point in entering the city since we had defeated the Aethel Society people.
More importantly, I don’t know about the city.
I asked, “Do you know anything about the Red Stone City?”
At this time, we stopped under the tree to discuss. Some travellers have come to enter the city. They are standing in line to enter the city.
Bran Tristan said, “Since it’s the last city before Willow Peak City. There are visitors with different backgrounds in that city.”
“If you mistakenly offend anyone, it could cause a lot of problems,” he added.
Hearing that I nodded to him. I have already beaten the Aethel Society people. I don’t want to come across another new organisation.
“Okay, let’s use the airship. But before that, we should leave the city first,” I said to him.
He agreed as well. Nobody wants to use such expensive aircraft before the people.
Then we started walking. This time we took a different route, which bypasses Red Stone City. Not many people are doing this.
Apart from us, there are one or two groups that were not entering the Red Stone City. Seeing that I thought our decision was right.
The next destination is Willow Peak City. I didn’t expect to reach Willow Peak City. It would take a lot of struggle.
But I know the real difficulty lies ahead in Willow Peak City. The Fate Wizard might give a task to complete. Only then would he agree to help.
As time passed, we eventually passed Red Stone City. Then we started walking towards Willow Peak City.
On the other hand, some travellers are going ahead of and behind us. Everyone is discussing Willow Peak City.
They don’t know how the city would be. The city was the main attraction because of the Fate Wizard.
As time passed, we continued to walk along the wide road. Many airships can be seen flying in the sky.
Seeing that I turned towards Bran Tristan. We could take the black airship out to travel. But Bran Tristan is thinking otherwise.
He said, “Let’s just walk on foot.”
Hearing that, I was surprised. I couldn’t find the reason behind his change of heart. But I could see that he was nervous for some reason.
I have already defeated the Aethel Society’s Wizard. Then why is he getting nervous right now?
But as we got closer to Willow Peak City. I saw him getting more nervous. I knew something was wrong.
I asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. We should part ways now,” Bran Tristan said all of a sudden.
Hearing that I was stunned. We haven’t reached the city yet. Then why is he getting nervous and scared right now?
Then I suddenly caught something. I followed his gaze and saw that he was looking at an airship in the sky. That airship is flying right above us.
My eyes flickered. The airship is not following others. Instead, it’s keeping pace with us. Seeing that I was stunned.
I didn’t notice it earlier. I had thought the airships were slowing down because they had reached closer to the destination.
“What’s with the airship?” I asked him.
Bran Tristan was stunned. He paused his footsteps and turned towards me. Seeing that I started looking at him.
“My teacher is here. It’s his airship. He must be wanting me to enter the airship,” Bran Tristan said.
Hearing that, I was shocked. Then I looked towards the Golden and Silver airships. It appears to be luxurious. It must belong to someone with a background.
But how should I confirm it? What if? It’s not his teacher but someone else is operating it.
I asked, “How are you sure that your teacher is inside?”
Bran Tristan raises his eyebrows.
He said,” My identity badge is shining with light.”
After saying that he showed his badge to me. I saw it’s an Artifact again. But it’s shining in bright red colour. The colours were pulsating as if something was attracting them.
“Can I see your teacher?”
“Your father had asked me to part ways after entering the city. But you are asking me here,” I said to him.
Bran Tristan felt troubled as well. He doesn’t know why the airship is flying instead of descending.
On the other hand, he is yet to get any messages or calls from his teacher. So he doesn’t know how to answer his protector.
“First, we should enter Willow Peak City. Then you can join your teacher,” I said to him.
I smelled something fishy.
