Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 441: Part 2: The Journey towards the Tolu Country

From MCʼs perspective:

After eating the food, everyone gets ready to leave. Seeing that I walked back to my carriage. Shortly after the caravan started to move.

The road to the next bandit town is not easy. From the name itself, I can tell that the people residing there are not good.

Halfway across the road, the caravan was stopped by unknown people.

”Ready to launch an attack,” The Captain roared in a loud voice.

His subordinates immediately gathered at the front.

Hearing the commotion outside. I opened the window screen to look outside. The escort team is standing against the group of bandits.

I raised my eyebrows in displeasure. This kind of situation would delay the journey further. But I have yet to verify something. Looking at the Captain who is a level-3 wizard. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle.

I hope my assumption is wrong. Then shaking my head, I returned to my usual position and waited for them to clear out the bandits.

Clang~

A fight broke out. But the escort team managed to fend off the bandits. Apart from the injuries, there were no other casualties.

After a few hours of traveling, the caravan reached the bandit town. The carriages stopped after reaching the inn.

The old man walked out from the carriage and entered the inn.

Seeing that, a strange glint flashes in my eyes. The old man receives a token from the inn owner after paying some amount.

I quickly realized what was going on. Itʼs like tax. The old man must have paid some amount for road safety.

I shook my head in disappointment. The life of lower-level wizards is hard. If I use the official transport channel, I would probably receive first-class treatment with protection.

No one would offend big forcesʼ business. But it is completely different for small-time merchants. I felt bitter. But it canʼt be helped.

At least the lower-level wizards are better than regular humans. They might live longer than normal humans.

When the old man came back. The caravan started to move again.

Time passed,

On the way, we were met with lower-order monsters from time to time. But because of the level-3 wizard. The situation didnʼt last long.

And our journey has been going smoothly since then.

The Bloodline Hall:

”What happened?” Tony Burnett muttered.

He has been trying to reach out to Gutt Brown. But the call is not connecting at all. His attention shifted to Senior Gilbert.

”Did he do something?” He said to himself. He believes that Gutt is deliberately staying silent.

After contemplating, he made a new decision.

He recalled the words of Gutt. He seems to have connections with a small merchant group. And they are not using the official channel for travel.

But He is Tony Burnett. He is not without any solution. The next second, he cracked a wicked grin. He doesnʼt know whether Vincent Carey was stupid or not.

But not using government transport is the biggest mistake Vincent had made. He can dispatch high-level killers silently.

If they kill Vincent Carey in a remote area, then not many people would be able to find the culprit.

Tony feels fortunate that he has met with such a good chance. Higher-ups expressed dissatisfaction a while ago. Now he has an opportunity to make things right.

Since he knows their destination is Tolu Country. He is hatching an evil plan. This time his plan will not have any loopholes.

Last time, Vincent escaped from Weden City. He wonʼt be lucky this time. He is going to use a widespread net to catch Vincent Carey.

Shortly after, Tony used his connections to find out about the merchant groups. He easily filtered the businesses run by old people. From Guttʼs words, he knows that their boss is old. And he is a lower-level wizard.

With such information in his hands. He quickly found out their identity.

A few hours later,

Several shadows left the Capital City in a hurry. If anyone looked closely, they would find these people are not lower-level wizards.

Such a big movement attracted the attention of quiet people. After knowing that these shadows do not belong to a major wizard organization.

The interest of people died down. But only wizard families involved in the commerce business felt dark clouds looking over their heads.

Two days later,

Donʼt know what happened. Some of the big merchant families stopped their business abruptly.

Which in turn created a rippled effect. Right after them, other small and medium-scale businesses slowed down their business.

At this time, inside the home of a wizard family who had close ties to the Central Auction. A fierce debate is going on among elders in meetings.

Hall:

”Who leaked out the news?” A middle-aged man with a mustache asked.

He is the family head of the number one merchant organization in the Capital. The Blue Water Merchant Group. And their family bloodline contains the bloodline of ancient marine monsters.

Long ago, the blue water family used to be arrogant. Several talented wizard kids walked out of this family. But as their bloodline thinned out.

Slowly the family turned their attention to business. Trade has become a common source of survival for them.

But a few days ago, the blue water family head Mentis was contacted by the Young Lord of the Burnett Clan, Tony Burnett. Which is one of the most powerful Bloodline Clans in the Capital.

The Bloodline of the Red Wolf.

Unlike the Blue Water Family, Burnett Clan is many times larger in size than them. The Burnett Clan has many wizard families under them. Including the side branches spread across the country.

And their Young Lord is heir from the direct lineage. Mentis knows that their Young Lord had awakened the 6th order bloodline during awakening. So he will reach level-6 wizard for sure.

Offending such a person is not good for the Blue Water Family. So he helped the person with some information. But right after, someone had leaked the news.

Other merchant families started to stop their business. If this goes on, it would attract the attention of the government.

So he had conveyed this quick meeting to find some answers.

One of the elders asked, ”Head, is this true that someone is targeting the merchant groups?”

When he said that everyone perked up their ears as well. Most of them felt that it was the work of an enemy country.

But they donʼt know the root cause of this problem is their family head.

Mentis is not stupid to divulge the information. He started pretending. When the meeting was over. Another news spread out widely. The Blue Water Family has stopped their operation as well.

Which is in line with the actions of other merchant families. But these small matters wonʼt affect the mind of Tony Burnett.

Even if the Blue Water Family disappears, he wonʼt care.

Tony Burnert has dispatched a few elders from his clan. Which shows how much he wants to accomplish the mission.

If he accomplished his higher-upʼs task, then he would be rewarded with the bloodline-improving potion. Then it would be a matter of time before he reaches level-6 wizard.

When it comes to the thought of offending the Sub-Taboo Hall. He didnʼt give a sh!t at all. He already made up his mind to use the net to catch Vincent Carey.

So apart from using the wizard from his clan. He had even hired rogue wizards and foreign mercenaries. So Vincent Careyʼs trip to Tolu Country would be his last trip.

Sub-Taboo Hall:

Gilbert Reeseʼs expression darkened. He thinks the big movement in Capital is related to Vincent Carey. He then decides to call Gutt. But he wasnʼt able to contact him.

Meanwhile,

Iʼm roasting boar meat on fire. I found out that consuming mana meat is recovering my mana reserve slightly.

After knowing that, I sat down with others to eat as well. Then my attention shifted to the status panel.
