Chapter 503 - 503 Out of the city.

503 Out of the city.

After he confirmed that Blake was returning to the Serene Angel on the south side of the city, the target packed up his little belongings and left the hotel. He quickly boarded a carriage that would take him to the eastern wall.

At the same time inside his carriage, Blake felt a slight pull in his consciousness causing him to open up his map and see that the target was on the move.

“Jerry, the target is on the move. You know what to do.” Blake said to the carriage driver.

Without asking any questions, Jerry changed their direction to the transport company.

The journey from the north to the south wasn’t a straight journey because of the central region. So since Blake’s carriage was going through the western part of the city, those monitoring him wouldn’t notice his slight detour.

“I have received confirmation from my friends, the journey should start immediately.” Blake said to the manager immediately after he alighted from his carriage.

“Just like you requested, the driver has been on standby. Let me inform him now.” The manager said.

“I would like to inspect the carriage that would be transporting the flower to make sure everything is in order.” Blake said.

“That is not a problem.” The manager didn’t find anything wrong with the request. It was very normal that a customer would want to make sure that his properties would be taken good care of.

.....

The manager gave a signal and some of his employees opened up the caravan and Blake climbed in.

While Blake acting as he was double-checking the positions of the plants, Blake placed a spatial mark before exiting the caravan.

Once it was closed up, Blake gave the signal for it to move before returning to his carriage.

“I will leave the rest to you.” Blake said to Jerry through the communicator before warping into the caravan that was already on the move.

He had given Jerry instructions on only the things he needed to know, and since he couldn’t what was going on inside the carriage, Blake’s secret was still safe.

Using the map in his hand, Blake was able to track both his position and that of the target.

There was a 20 minutes distance between them, and there was no way the caravan would catch up, but Blake wasn’t bothered.

…

When Jerry left the transportation company he did not return to the Serene Angel just like everyone thought. Instead, he began randomly moving all around the western part of the city.

If he was to return to the hotel, those monitoring Blake would know he wasn’t in the carriage since he had to walk out of the carriage and into the hotel.

So his crazy movement was to confuse the stalkers and make them think that Blake was still in the carriage; while taking off any form of attention away from Blake.

…

“What is going on?” The target asked as he received a call from one of his informants.

The informant told him about Blake’s movement from the northern wall to the transportation company, and then to the random movement in the west.

The target felt Blake’s movement was very weird, thus justifying his suspicions that something serious was about to happen.

“Once I leave the city, all I can just wait till the situation calms down before returning.” The target wasn’t bothered about Blake because not only was Blake on the opposite side of the city, but he had just arrived at the eastern gate.

Since he just delivered to the boss of The Essence Nightclub the last shipment of contraband that he had smuggled into the city. It didn’t take time for him to get scanned and allowed out of the city.

…

20 minutes later, the caravan arrived at the eastern gate and was immediately flagged down for a scan.

Due to the invention of dimensional amulets manual searching had become obsolete, especially since it didn’t make sense to tell someone to empty their dimensional amulet.

So to solve this problem, scanners had been invented to simultaneously scan everything inside a vehicle, including humans and their dimensional amulets for contrabands. In special cases, they could be set to scan for a particular person or even an item.

The scanners had a weakness, and that was their inability to scan dimensional pockets.

Dimensional pockets and dimensional amulets both consisted of dimensional spaces used to store items. The main difference was the method used to access those spaces.

Dimension amulets made use of arrays to access the dimension spaces, and the size of the space was dependent on the strength and quality of the arrays. They were invented in the era when researchers were trying to reproduce the spells of the space element using arrays.

As for Dimension pockets, they could only be created and accessed by high-level Chronomancers and space-related artifacts.

The scanners worked by using the same arcane spells used to create the dimensional amulets to bypass the arrays protecting them, but it wasn’t possible for dimensional pockets.

The scan began and instantly the contents of the caravan were displayed to the ash corps on the wall.

“Just a bunch of flowers, let him pass.” The captain in charge of the wall ordered.

‘Just as planned.’ Blake smirked as he placed the royal seal back into his dimensional pocket.

Once the carriage had gone into the forest on the mountain and out of sight, Blake cast void shift.

He warped to his current position, and since the carriage was on the move Blake appeared on the road.

Without wasting time, Blake activated the locator skill and a white trail that led into the forest appeared.

“let’s hope I discover something interesting because I don’t have a plan of getting back into the city unseen. So pulling this off again would be extremely difficult.” Blake said as he began running after the white trail. He was already 20 minutes behind so he had to catch up quickly.
