The protagonist met with the Magic Lord, who asked him to appraise a mysterious blue bead. After confirming it was a magic artifact used in formations but devoid of mana, the Magic Lord departed, concluding the event. The protagonist then gathered his companions, shared the day's meager earnings, and returned to the hotel to rest. The next morning, he discovered multiple missed calls from Manager Lara and Lord Charlotte, learning that Charlotte had visited seeking an update on his activities.

Hotel room

"Yes, it was an event to earn resources and gather information as well. But I earned resources and didn’t collect any valuable intel," I replied.

Hearing that, Manager Lara laughed a little. Then I told her to convey the message to Lord Charlotte. I will be visiting other cities in search of information as well.

After ending the call, I went to get ready.

An hour later,

I left the room and came to see the members. They were all ready. In front of them, I put all the mana pouches which I got yesterday night.

The members were all taken aback. They didn’t know what this was about.

"This is your pay. Share it among you equally. Also, leave the shares for the monsters," I said to them.

They were shocked. But I told them it’s their money. Then they accepted without any protest because they needed mana stones for practice as well.

Old man Rock is a Magic Lord, but he is injured. If he were okay, then he would have gotten a larger share.

Patrick and the others began to count the mana stones. It didn’t take long for them to divide the shares.

I received the share for the monsters before returning to the room. There, I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion and gave the mana stones to the monsters.

They are not humans, but I poured the mana stones on the bed. Both the monsters demanded something else as well. They needed food.

Due to work, I had forgotten about them as well. After appearing back in the room, I made a call to the hotel staff.

I ordered monster food related to the monsters.

The staff didn’t have food for the monsters, but they were going to order it from the pet store. I agreed to that as well.

After ending the call, I began to rest in my room. Earlier, I thought of leaving earlier. Now, I have decided to leave after getting the monster food.

30 minutes later,

The monster food was brought by the hotel staff. I went to the exit to receive it personally. The members were in their room.

I went back to my room and fed the monster food to the two monsters. After completing the task, I appeared outside.

I picked up the device and sent a message to the members. I wanted them to gather in a few minutes. I told them that we are going to leave the city.

1 hour later,

We exited Nova City. After getting to a safe place, I brought out the raven aircraft and began traveling in it.

In the cabin, all the members were there. Earlier, I had brought the zero puppet outside. The zero puppet was with me in its red smoke form.

None of the members could see it. After setting the flight on autopilot mode,

The raven aircraft traveled along the safe path. Then I picked up the map and began to view it. Since I knew the enemy side was keen on collecting wizard corpses,

Their main focus would be on medium-sized cities. Because they have huge graveyards, the security won’t be as tight as in the big cities.

It’s the ideal place for the hostile forces to do their work. On the map, I saw a series of small cities. The next big city was actually 1,000 miles away.

If I set it to full speed, we could reach the place before that. But I’m not in a hurry. I’m enjoying the mission. I’m not in a hurry to take risks to collect intel.

I made up my mind to collect as much evidence as possible. Then I will decide where to share it.

But I think other Silver Tower Wizards are ahead as well. I don’t know whether Wizard Holden Barrett has collected any new intel. He must have succeeded.

I shook my head before pushing down these thoughts.

Time passed,

Several miles from here on an open ground, many tall human figures were standing frozen. If one looked closely, they would find that the human figures were not alive.

They were wizard corpses. Hundreds of corpses were positioned in a certain manner. The pattern linked to magic formations.

Not far away from the formation, a wizard wearing an overcoat and hat was preparing the completion of the formations.

He was none other than Wizard Alaric. He got a mission from the organization. They wanted the puppet to be active.

For that, he was making the final arrangements before casting the magic spell.

Time passed,

The raven aircraft was getting closer. It was in stealth mode. Yet, when the raven aircraft reached the magic formation setup,

Wizard Alaric raised his head. He saw something invisible flying in the sky. It was going to cross the formation as well.

His mouth curved into an arc. He was at the final moment before completing the formulation.

But he needed sacrifice material for his spell to work. He thought the person inside the aircraft would be enough.

He is a Supreme Wizard. The next second, he appeared in mid-air. There was still some distance left before the aircraft actually reached the place,

But he was going to stop it before that.

Meanwhile,

Inside the cockpit, the system voice sounded in my mind. I slowed down the speed of the aircraft.

Next, I saw the members inside the aircraft became alert as well.

"Master, there is someone blocking the path ahead," Otto said.

"The person seems to be a Supreme Wizard," Old man Rock said.

Hearing that, I told the guys to check what was going on out there.

Creak!

The cabin opened the next second. The members exited the aircraft one by one.

Otto, Patrick, Hank, and old man Rock appeared outside. The next second, they started moving towards the single wizard.

In a flash, the four dots were moving in a straight line.

At the same time, I sent the puppet to check whether there were any other wizards in the vicinity.

The zero puppet in its red smoke form left the aircraft.

I continued to watch everything from here. I don’t know whether a robbery is going on.
