Chapter 1570: Part 1: Mercenary Wizards!
Merchant Association:
The Mercenary Association Envoy Felix thought of a plan.
He said,”Our Mercenary Association has unique wizards specialized in tracking. I can ask them to find out the culprit.”
Head Marcel was shocked. He is indeed aware of the unique wizards. There are wizards with rare awakened magic in the Mercenary Association.
They can clearly help him solve the problem.
“I appreciate your help,” Marcel said to him.
The Medicine Association Envoy Celine thought. She had to do something.
She said,”We specialized in healing. Unfortunately, we can’t help with the tracking. But if the Merchant Association needs medicine, you can call us.”
Head Marcel didn’t reject it. He appreciated her help as well. If they had been injured in the battle, then they would have sought help from the Medicine Association.
The meeting then continued for an hour. Then both the Envoys decided to leave. They could confirm that Dark Envoy is not going to come again anytime soon.
They can go back and make further plans. The disordered land is getting dangerous day by day. If they miss any important information, it could become a problem for them.
A few minutes later,
Two Airships left the Merchant Association. The officials and locals saw them leaving. But the activities were not resumed.
Still, the outsiders were barred from entering the city.
On the other hand, the Mercenary Association Envoy Felix has left a few wizards behind to help out. They are the ones who were specialized in tracking.
Head Marcel met with them and told them to start their work. None of the elders and officials can interfere with their work. They are free to do anything here.
The Elders are clearly divided. The Dark Faction’s supporters including the Purple haired Elders and others thought that investigation should become successful.
In that way, they can share the intel back to the Dark Faction. Next time, the Dark Faction will pressure the Merchant Association harder with evidence.
At the same time, the White Faction’s supporters didn’t want the task to succeed. But unfortunately, they can’t do anything. Head Marcel’s eyes will be on them.
They didn’t know they were exposed completely. It’s just that Head Marcel didn’t have a way to deal with them. If he punishes everyone, then the Association could fall apart.
Then it will become easy for the third parties to gain benefits.

Meanwhile,
I’m spending time in meditation. My strength is slowly increasing. Yet I’m worried about the situation outside.
I thought of finding some information first. I appeared in the control room next. Seeing the outside place was safe in the control mirror.
I appeared outside. Standing at the back of the mountain. I checked my clothes. I’m wearing local clothes. It’s not easy for people to find out my identity.
Then I started heading towards the residential areas. Since the shops were closed down. I’m sure that people are staying in their houses.
If I walk around their area, I could gather information.
Meanwhile,
The Mercenary Wizards were individually tracing the clues. Some of them went to the foot of the mountain.
The others are searching on the top. At this time, one of them came to the back of the mountain on a whim.
Right now, they don’t have anything to work with. All they knew was the Dark Wizards were killed inside the territory.
As long as they could find the trace of dark mana. It could give them some clues.
The Masked Wizard is using his magic to find the clue. Suddenly, his eyes lit. At this back of the mountain, he found faint traces of dark mana.
It’s undoubtedly related to the Dark Wizards. He spent a few more minutes to confirm the truth. Once he was sure he informed others.
Swoosh!
Shortly afterwards, the Head Marcel and the elders arrived at the spot. The Masked Wizard told him about his discovery.
Head Marcel tried to sense using his law power. He too found the traces of the Dark Mana. It was feint. It will disappear in a few days.
“How can we confirm they are killed?” Marcel asked.
The Masked Wizard shakes his head and says,”We need more clues. It’s just a trace.”
Marcel understood. He ordered the officials to search around this area. Everyone knew that locals use this old path to exit the mountain range.
It’s possible for the Dark Wizards to come through this path.

On the other hand, I’m walking around the secondary mountain. The main city was located at the top of the first mountain.
Right now, the first mountain was secretly monitored. The security was tightened there. I have come down to this mountain knowing this matter.
Fortunately, the locals are going about their business here. The streets were not empty here. They are also selling items in the stalls in front of their homes.
Because of it, I was able to gather information. I was shocked knowing that the Medicine and Mercenary Association Airships came and left shortly after that.
I knew these 2 Factions are neutral as well. But they are stronger than the Merchant Association. There is a reason why I have picked the Merchant Association.
It’s relatively easier to sneak in than the other two places.
“No one can leave their houses. The officials are going to come sooner. So everyone close down your stall and return to your home.”
An official shouted in a loud tone.
Commotion!
Hearing that there was a sudden commotion. Everyone was barred from entering the first city. Now they can’t even open a shop in front of their own houses.
I heard the voice as well. My eyes glinted with understanding. If I’m right they are looking for me.
The person who killed Dark Wizards in their territory.
Since they can’t find me on the first mountain. Next, they are going to search the whole mountain range.
I collected my thoughts and entered the courtyard of some else’s home. After verifying with the system, that no one was here.
Swoosh!
I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion. On the other hand, the locals are closing down their shop. They are feeling sad. Unfortunately, they can’t go against the officials.
It’s better to be safe than end up in a big fight.
