Chapter 692 Beluz City under alert
From MC's perspective:
Inn,
The incident will alarm others. The authorities will take action to block the border area. There is also the threat of the unknown killer.
Is it the Dark League or Bloodline Hall's men? I furrowed my eyebrows. Then I tried to contact Senior Gilbert. But the call was not connected at all.
After trying again, I gave up. Things are not that dire yet. I have a grade-8 artifact with me. There are also magic scrolls.
If there is a do-or-die situation, I can still escape. After gaining some clarity in my thoughts, I ease down my eyebrows.
Then I went to bed to sleep.
Noon,
The news about the luxurious hotel's destruction has reached everyone's ears in Beluz City. The attack on the hotel caused panic among the people living there.
Even the travelers and adventurers at the borders chose not to enter the city. Such an incident has happened. But still, there is no news from the police wizards.
The local government is also staying silent. As time passed, many travelers left their hotel and moved to the hotel near the Adventure Union branch and police wizard building.
This silence caused uneasiness among the residents. They don't know whether there will be another attack on them.
In the Adventure Union Tower,
Leroy was sitting down in his office and looking at footage of the destroyed building. He is also recalling the scenes of an unknown level-7 wizard.
Leroy furrowed his eyebrows. He had informed the higher-ups. But according to the higher-ups they haven't sent any level-7 wizard to the city.
Which means the stranger was from a different organization. And he doesn't think about the police force. They won't be crazy enough to destroy public property.
So there is a strong possibility that the level-7 wizard was an outsider. Still, there is no news of him. He is afraid that the wizard might target the city again.
In the police building,
Terry was getting grilled by the higher-ups. It's their job to protect the people and public property. But Terry had no clue about the attacker.
What was the motive and identity of the attacker? He wasn't able to answer a single question from the higher-ups.
"Sir, that person was wearing a mask. And he is a level-7 wizard. I couldn't approach him," Terry said to the projection of a person in front of him.
"What is a level-7 wizard doing in this city?"
"There is nothing valuable here."
"Maybe he is a passerby," The higher-up said.
But Terry sneered inside his heart. A passerby destroys a hotel building accommodating hundreds of people.
That guy had a motive. But it's a pity, it's difficult to know. The higher-up has decided to send a support team right away.
"One more thing!"
"Block the border"
"Use this chance to eliminate those 3rd rate rats from this city," After saying that the higher-up ended the call.
Terry stayed in his place. It's difficult to look for a level-7 wizard. But he can send his men to clean up the low-level evil organizations including the red axis.
So he sent instructions to his men.
Time flies,
Meanwhile,
In the inn, I got out of my bed. Seeing that it was noon time. I sat on the sofa to read the recent news.
When I began to access the communication watch. I entered the city name to look for the news.
Right after, the page appears with the headlines.
When I read the first headline. My mouth twitched.
"Border is blocked right now," I uttered in surprise. Then I saw the time and date of the article. It was posted a few minutes ago. Which means the order was passed an hour ago.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. If I had left early, I would have walked out of the city. But the problem is the unknown killer.
I still don't know how he found me earlier. I was wearing a mask to cover my identity. There was a system to hide my wizard strength.
Then how? I'm trying to wrap my head around it.
Beep!
Suddenly, my communication watch lit up with the notification.
When I saw the contact name. I sighed inwardly.
The call was from none other than Senior Gilbert. Then I attended the call.
"Vincent, where are you?'
"I saw the news. What happened out there?"
Senior Gilbert's serious tone reached my ears. Hearing that a hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. So he is keeping an eye on my movements.
"Senior, I had tried to call you earlier to talk about this incident,' I replied.
"What happened?"
"Is it related to you?"
Gilbert's voice sounded from the other end.
"Sigh"
"Yes, it's related to me. A level-7 wizard is after my life. Right after, I left the hotel. He destroyed the whole building," I said with a sigh.
There was silence for a moment.
"Level-7 wizard uh?"
"It's unbelievable. Do you recognize his identity?" Gilbert asked.
"No, he was wearing a mask. I can't tell which organization he was from," I answered.
"What about the mission? Do you want to leave right away?" Gilbert asked back.
A faint smile appeared on my face.
"Senior, I completed the mission last night. I can return whenever I want. But I don't know whether the killer has left or not," I said.
"Alright, wait for me. I'll come to get you," Gilbert said.
"No!"
"Senior wait, I can escape myself. I have artifacts and magic scrolls with me. There is no danger to my life," I said to Senior Gilbert.
To be honest, I want to visit so many places to look for the super relics. I can use this opportunity to check out those places. n((OVeLbIn
Gilbert Reese hesitated for a moment before agreeing to it. He believes in the prism artifact.
"Okay, you have to update me from time to time," After saying that he ended the call.
"Thank goodness, he agreed," I mumbled under my breath.
