Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 442: Part 3: The Journey towards the Tolu Country

From MCʼs perspective:

After checking the status panel, I resumed eating. The tender meat is as delicious as one served in a restaurant. While tasting the meat, I observed the people around me. Itʼs been 3 days since we left the Capital.

But I havenʼt found any suspicious activity so far. And the people around me behaved normally. There was no sign of leakage of information.

But I donʼt know why? I have this vague feeling in my heart that all of this is temporary. Apart from a few rogue wizards and bandit groups, we hadnʼt met with any danger.

Because of the lack of mana in the surroundings. There were no higher-order monsters here. Which gives us an extra layer of security.

Suddenly, my eyes turned toward the 2nd carriage. The old man has been staying quiet lately. I wonder what happened?

Our communication network was cut off completely. Itʼs not easy to contact people via communication watch. Only after we get out from these remote areas we might be able to establish a connection back.

Shaking my head, I continued eating. After eating, I got up and walked back to my carriage.

After entering inside, I sat quietly near the window seat. I heard from the Captain that our next destination would-be mountain hills.

I removed the window screen and looked outside. We are isolated from mankind and monsters. Apart from the dense vegetation covering both sides of the road.

There was no other open space to be found.

Shortly after the whole caravan starts to move.

Time passed by,

After two hours, we reached the foot of the hill. To make the monster relax. The escort team decides to walk slowly. Iʼm even getting bored sitting inside.

So I stepped out of the carriage and walked up front to join with the Captain. While walking past the 2nd carriage, my footsteps stopped.

The image of an old man comes to mind.

”Is he inside?” I asked the guard, protecting the carriage.

The guard immediately recognized me and heavily nodded his head. Then he told the old man about my visit.

Creak~

The door opened and the old man greeted me inside.

Looking at the old manʼs haggard expression. I felt something was wrong. Then I stepped inside the carriage and closed the door.

Inside the room was lit up with light. I can see the expression of the old man.

The trembling hands, swearing forehead. The old man is worried about something.

I asked, ”What happened?”

The old man raised his head to look at Vincent.

”Something big had happened in the Capital,” He uttered.

”Yesterday, there was a weak communication signal. Because of it, I suddenly received several messages,” The old man added further.

Hearing that I wasnʼt surprised. He is a businessman. Itʼs normal for him to receive pending messages.

But his next words surprised me greatly.

”Donʼt know what happened? All the merchants in the Capital stopped their business abruptly. The word is that someone is targeting a merchant organization. And it happened right after we left the Capital,” The old man said in a solemn tone.

At the same time, my heart set off storms. And my instincts tell me that it was related to me.

Donʼt tell me that Tony Burnett had made his move. If it was true then, Gutt Brown must have spilled beans earlier.

Then it would have been easier for Tony Burnett to track down the merchant fleets. I knitted my eyebrows in disappointment.

I thought my plan was safe without loopholes. But because of Gutt Brown, I have to face the danger now.

Then shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts.

”Old man, donʼt worry. Maybe some wicked wizards are posing threats. Once they are gone, the situation would return to normal,” I comforted the old man with some words.

By that time, the caravan had already reached halfway up the hill.

After assuring the old man, I walked out of the carriage. But my heart was not calm. My heart tells me to be ready to face anything from now on.

One hour later,

We reached the top of the hill. The caravan stopped so that everyone could recover mana.

Seeing that I stood under a shade tree and began to ponder. I donʼt know whether itʼs okay to continue the trip with them.

If we bump into enemies, then it would cause casualties. Iʼm sure of saving myself. But Iʼm not sure of others.

20 minutes later,

The caravan starts to move again. I stayed in my carriage this time.

Time passed,

When the carriage reaches the foot of the mountain. We are again hindered by the group of bandits.

I opened my eyes because of the commotion. As a level-5 Wizard, my senses are heightened. So I can easily hear the conversation happening right now.

”Donʼt block our way. Otherwise, we will attack you,” The Captain of the escort team warned the bandits.

Suddenly, a thin-skinned bandit stepped forward.

He said, ”Ha...Ha...Ha.., we are not here to cause problems. But we are searching for a wanted person.”

”After searching your carriages, we will let you leave,” He added further.

The Captain furrowed his eyebrows looking at the group of bandits. After nodding his head, he walked back to inform the old man who is the boss here.

The old man hurriedly wanted to leave. So he doesnʼt mind their actions. When the green signal was given.

The bandits began to check the carriages one by one.

At the same time, inside the 3rd carriage. My eyes grew cold. ”Looking for a wanted person,” I said in my heart.

Fortunately, no one here knows about my real appearance.

Swoosh~

I disappeared from the spot and hid inside the Gregor Mansion.

The bandits have some gadgets in their hands showing the image of a person. They were so secretive that they didnʼt want anyone to know.

Including the escort team. A bandit opened the door of the 3rd carriage but found no one inside. Then he gave a green signal to others.

After knowing everything was fine, the bandits allowed the caravan to pass.

Swoosh~

After a few minutes, I appeared inside the Carriage. But eyes flickered with killing intent. Because I saw a face of mine in their gadget.

”Tony Burnett,” I muttered in my heart. To find me, he even went to such a length to declare me as a wanted person.

But I know these were all individual actions of Tony, not from the academy or government. This shows how much power he wields. He must be from a renowned bloodline family.

Iʼm still not aware of many things in the Capital. Like the wizard families and their businesses.

Shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts. I passed the first wave of checking. What about next?

Iʼm sure there must be people waiting for me in the Tolu Country. Still, there are more than 20 days left. I can make a move after reaching Tolu Country.

There is no need to take action now. Otherwise, the people behind the bandits could see something wrong. So I choose to stay silent for the time being.

Itʼs a pity. I donʼt have a concealment spell. Next time, I should make some effort to learn supportive spells. Then I closed my eyes and continued to stay alert.

Meanwhile, the bandits used magical communication to pass the information instead of tech.

Soon the bandit boss will be notified. He will then pass the information on to others. Since Tony wants to spread a giant net. Information will be valuable for his planning.

The following day,

I woke up in the Gregor Mansionʼs room. After completing the morning routine. I sat down for meditation.

Sitting cross-legged, I started to run the mental method. The Gravity Ark mediation power activates, it begins to attract the gray mana particles from the piles of mana stones.

Time passed,

I opened my eyes three hours later. The next moment, a bright smile appeared on my face. I feel a lot closer to gravity magic now.

I know the changes are because of my physique, not because of my talent.

”System, show me the status panel,” I said to the system.
