773 Another Report Before Mission
Today is the day where I suppose to infiltrate the city surrounded by the Magicless Area. I don’t know whether I will rescue the agent or not. Probably not. But that will depend on the situation as well.
Before I leave, I got a text from Albert to meet him first. Seems like the agent contacted him early this morning. This is good since we can learn something about the city before I infiltrate.
Mission after mission. There’s no end to it. When will the cult be destroyed?
Rather, I need to find where the Evil God is hiding first. I need to know that. or else, there will only be more missions for me to do.
I have to do it or I will never get my inner peace.
The one who was responsible for my death might be dead. But that’s just one person from a huge organization. As long as the organization, the cult, is still exist, I will never get healed from my trauma.
Then I opened a portal to Albert’s location to hear the agent’s report.
“Morning, Albert. You have something important to tell me?” I asked.
“Could be. I don’t know. But every little information could be important, so I will tell you. Early this morning, I got woken up by my phone ringing. I got another call from that agent I sent who ended up talking on his own,” Albert said.
.....
Apparently, after Albert received the call, he didn’t try to talk at all in case there’s a wind mage who can overhear their conversation. That will make the existence of phones to be known by the cult. Which we can’t let that to happen now.
So, the agent talked to himself. He even said that he got the reputation of a crazy person in the city because of it. Although the agent said that he feels bad for it, the truth is that he must be relieved because thanks to talking to himself, no one wants to get close to him. Though they still use wind magic to hear what he’s talking to himself.
He knows that because he’s an expert level wind mage. so the slightest change in the natural movement of the wind, he can tell.
But it was also because of that, he couldn’t use it to eavesdrop on other people’s conversation. Or a master level wind mage will know that he’s listening.
“He’s smart. I guess it’s good that he’s the one staying. The other agent is not a wind mage, right?” I asked.
“No. But still, this one still used wind magic from time to time on purpose. Because any wind mage who doesn’t use their magic this way is extremely suspicious. So he just used it within a certain range to make it so that everyone will think that he’s just an advanced level wind mage. He didn’t say that. But that’s what Wendy told me when she appointed him for this mission,” Albert said.
Wendy was also supposed to be here. But I heard that she’s busy. She said that she found some other school with suspicious movement where some tamers and summoners disappeared before they could graduate. And there’s no sign of them being a hunter and died. So it’s possible that they were being taken by the cult and being educated in the cult’s way.
That’s why she’s not here. And it’s unlikely that she will be able to join us later if there’s a huge fight.
Well, my mission is still to infiltrate first. Destruction is for later. If necessary.
Though I think it’s highly likely that it will end up in a fight. Who in the right mind would let me go for an infiltration mission? It’s just fight, kill, assassinate, and destroy for me. It’s easier that way.
“Well, from your information, I guess he’s still safe. It’s just that people started thinking of him as a nuisance. And they are keeping away from him. I guess that’s good since he can survive,” I said.
“If you’re trying to save him, he will pretend that he’s a coward. Just like how he entered that place. Then he won’t fight back when you’re restraining him or putting the collar on him,” Albert said.
“Is there anything else I need to know?” I asked Albert.
“Yeah. And I think it’s related to Wendy’s mission. There are no kids in that place. Most likely, they are being educated by the cult somewhere else. Everyone there is loyal to the cult. And they put everything they can to stock up food. Probably for the bases in Monsters World. Even master level mages are farming, fishing, and raising cattle,” Albert said.
They have to be extremely loyal if those who have reached that stage, still goes for growing their own food. And it’s natural to think that they have another base in Monsters World. And the people here can go there.
Maybe the summoners there, after knowing that they can’t go back to the base that I destroyed, used their monster who are moving around in Monsters World as a transfer point. And from there, the cult are moving toward another base. And the people in that city is now sending their supplies to that base instead.
They totally gave up on retrieving the destroyed base. And it’s also futile effort anyway. They have tried it, and they failed. There’s no need to sacrifice more people.
“If there’s no kids, then there’s no need for us to hold back. So, how big is the city? And how many people and monsters are there?” I asked.
“Big enough for us to send all our troops. But Just your group and the monsters alone is enough. If there’s a fight, which I think will happen since you’re in it, then this is also a good chance for Rudy to show his leadership skills. He has learned a lot from reading the battle logs of all our battle so far,” Albert said.
“Nice! Who’s Rudy?” I don’t remember any Rudy.
“The blind man with sunglasses who shows his leadership ability during the friendly match.”
.comno/vel//bi/n[./]net'
Right. Sunglasses. He could be a great General for the alliance. But that’s if he can show his skill in commanding many people later.
Well, if there’s a fight, I’ll arrange it so that all the monsters fighting will be under him. And for the mages, except for some people, including me, they will follow Sunglasses’ command. And advise him since he’s still lacking in experience.
“Wait, he’s reading the battle logs? Like, reading?” I asked curiously.
“I had someone to read it for him. He’s blind after all. And even if he can sense things in front of him with his air magic, he can’t use it to read. Also, I heard from Kayla that he can somehow use what you call Mind’s Eye. So seeing is not a problem for him. Reading is,” Albert explained.
That’s good. If he can use Mind’s Eye, there’s no problem with him to check the situation.
“If that’s all, then I will leave now,” I said.
“Okay. How will you get there?”
“On foot. I will open a portal to where the agent threw the stone previously and walk from there alone. There’s a chance that the Blobby there was found by someone and being guarded. If that’s the case, then I’ll get everyone there right away,” I said.
“Good luck.”
With that, I left to the target location.
There’s no one here. Seems like I can do the infiltration mission peacefully.
“Roy, I sensed the remains of air magic used here. But I think it’s from yesterday,” Airy suddenly speak to me.
“You can sense the remains of magic in the surrounding?” I asked.
“Only for air magic. And a bit of wind magic as well. But if it’s been too long, then I won’t be able to sense it,” Airy said.
“Can you follow the trace?”
“No. The magic was only used in this area. And the caster didn’t use it the whole time. Only in this area. But if the caster used it in other areas and I find it, I will tell you,” she said.
So, she can sense the remains of air magic that has been used in the area. But she can’t track the mage like how Shelia track someone by their scent.
But this is good. At least we know that there’s an air mage here. But for what reason is he using magic here?
“Can you tell the level of the air magic that you feel?” I asked Airy.
“Hmm... at least the air mage should be a bit weaker than you,” she replied.
Weaker than me doesn’t mean the mage is advanced level mage or lower. The air mage might even be a master level air mage. But I’m just better at magic control so Airy thought that the air mage is weaker than me.
But that’s already a good information. It’s rare for an air mage to be that strong. And I don’t think that mage is going all the way here to breathe. So that mage must be using air magic for something else.
I don’t think it’s poison. But the use of air magic for anesthetic has been spread to medical personnel. So the cult should have learned about it as well, and then they tried another way to use air mage.
It might not be a poison, but it could be another type of gas.
Well, it’s just another air mage. Since I can just breathe by using air magic on my lung, I don’t have to worry about being affected by it.
And so, my mission started. What will I find this time?
