Chapter 683: Large Base is Found

I tried to listen to what the people riding on the lizard are saying while I’m still sticking my body on the lizard’s belly. And even though the lizard has shown its discomfort many times, the oblivious mages above didn’t care at all.

Unfortunately, they didn’t say anything confidential. They didn’t say about anything important information at all except for things I already know.

The journey continue as the Earth Dragon keeps looking at its own belly to check me. Since I had enough and I don’t want it to alert everyone riding above, I directed my killing intent at the Earth Dragon alone. And finally, it stopped checking on me.

That was good. I can easily direct my killing intent at just one individual now. Not to everyone I consider to be my enemy. Just one individual. Now there are many other ways I can use this for.

I look far above and see Spot and Randy are still following. I also look with my Divine Vision to where these guys are going, but after a few hours stuck under the Earth Dragon’s belly, I still found nothing.

Finally as the sun reached its peak, I can see something. It’s a wall. Something is being covered by a huge wall. And it’s big and covers a wide area. I believe even if I used Divine Vision at the middle of what’s inside the wall, I still won’t be able to see the wall.

And a base that big must have many people protecting. I guess I can’t stay under the lizard all the time.

.....

Afraid that I will be seen by other people, I let go of the lizard’s belly. The lizard noticed something was wrong but it’s afraid of looking. While the other monsters following the lizard also ignore me because they’re also afraid.

I let my body hit the ground. But the sound of the lizard’s running is too loud that the people above can’t hear me falling.

I just lay down on the ground while letting the monsters running. None of them dare to stomp me. And the idiots above the lizard only focused on their destination so none of them are looking back.

“They seriously didn’t notice at all. How surprising. And how stupid,” Victoria said.

“That means my hiding skill has improved again.”

“And what will you do? You’re not moving at all,” Victoria asked.

“If I move too soon, they might notice. I’ll stay here until Spot flies directly above me,” I said.

Just a few second later, Spot flies above me so I stand and start running toward Spot’s location. Since Spot’s speed is not fast as he’s keeping up his speed with that Earth Dragon or lizard, I can easily reach him.

Spot then enlarge his size a bit so he becomes a two-seater and I sit behind Randy.

“It looked stupid when you suddenly came out from under the lizard. It was as if the lizard pooped you out,” Randy said.

“Worst thing is that they didn’t say much about the base. But I can see it now so I left. Their base is large enough to be called a city. I haven’t seen anyone yet but there must be several master level mages over there. Maybe dozens of them. Even if they are weak master level mages, they can still cause me trouble if I’m not careful. So I left. Spot, don’t move from here. From this location I can only see their base from above but I can’t see anyone. So we will be safe from their master level mages from here,” I said.

“Okay. How many of them do you think there will be?” Spot asked me.

“A lot. I don’t think just calling the werewolves will be enough to face them all,” I said.

Seems like there will be war if we face them. The werewolves are eager, but we need more. And if I ask the kings to send troops here, their country will be left defenseless.

“But we still don’t know yet if they are from the cult, right? Roy, what have you learned when you became the lizard’s poop?” Randy asked me.

“I’m not anything’s poop! I was sticking my body on its belly! Anyway, I didn’t hear anything about them being in the cult. So I don’t know,” I replied.

“Hmm... if their base is that big, I guess they should be confident with their defense. I don’t think we can sneak in from underground,” Randy said.

“And there are several towers in that base. We can’t easily enter from the sky as well. And even if I can somehow get a Blobby inside, they can easily detect my portal,” I said.

“Still, the best way to investigate is for us to infiltrate that base. Check the gate and see how those people enter. With a place that big, I don’t think they knew everyone there. So they must have entered the base through some kind of identification. If that’s the case, we can get inside if we steal it. Roy, did you check the belongings of those people?” Randy asked.

Right! I forgot! But good thing that those people are still within my sight. I’ll check them now.

Anything weird that they have. Something that can be considered as identification.

“Spot, move a little closer so I can see the gate. Even if there are master level mages, I doubt they would be the gatekeeper,” I said to Spot.

Spot then flies forward a little closer and stops when I told him to.

At the gate, I can see two people acting as gatekeeper. And comparing their belongings to what the people on the lizard’s back, I can see that they have something similar.

A coin. The size is like any other coin but the color is pitch black. I don’t think that coin is some sort of currency they use. So that thing must be how they identify themselves.

And all of them have at least one coin in their possession. Some have more but I don’t think they will be used. And the gatekeepers have a lot of coins stored near there.

As I looked at the wall, I can see that there’s a room for the gatekeepers. And there are a lot of black coins stored there.

“All of them have coins in their possession. A black coin. Maybe that’s what they use to enter the gate.”

“Then let’s wait until they enter the gate. Don’t look anymore than that yet,” Randy said.

I do as he says. Just limiting my sight to reach the gate.

Then I can see that it’s someone else who left the base and not those who are riding lizard entering. So I pay my attention to the leaving guy.

“There’s someone leaving the gate. He’s not a master level mage so he didn’t notice me. When he left, the gatekeeper gave him one black coin after recording that someone left at this time,” I said.

“So the coin is for leaving the gate. Maybe they have to return that coin when they enter the gate. But what about monsters? Do they enter from the same gate?” Randy asked.

“Let’s wait a little more. Those people are approaching the gate. Spot, don’t move. The guy who was leaving is flying low. He will be right under us soon,” I said.

The leaving guy greeted the group and then he continues flying. When he’s right below us, the group we followed also reached the gate.

The group then offered their coin one by one. One person gave their own coin. So it seems that they can’t give other people their coin to returns. I need to check the coin if each one of them is different.

About the extra coins that they have, they give them to the gatekeeper after everyone’s coin has been confirmed. I think that coin is somehow similar to hunter card from the guild.

“They gave their extra coins to the gatekeeper. Those extra coins should be from the dead people wandering outside,” I said.

“Maybe because of their lack of members they can’t let anyone here die. Since they think that we don’t know about this world, they’re letting those with weaker level remove the explosive device and told them to not die. What about the monsters?” Randy asked.

“The group left the lizard except for the tamer who didn’t return his coin. All of the monsters there were tamed by that one tamer. They leave the gate and move along the wall. Spot, we need to move so I can see better,” I said.

We followed the tamer and his monsters. After a few minutes of walk they entered another gate. And this gate is bigger than before and heavily protected. Must be because they need take care of the monsters.

“They entered that huge gate. For now, I won’t see any further than this in case they have master level mage with them,” I said.

“Good decision. A place like that is surely o have one or two master level mages protecting it. Did they enter with that tamer’s coin?” Randy asked.

“Yes. I guess this is as far as we can investigate. Any more than this and we need to prepare to get found out. And we can’t use portal since they might be familiar with it. Should I see further?”

“Let’s move around that gate first and see how big it really is. I’ll draw a map according to what you see. And then we will discuss it later with everyone,” Randy said.

Well, there might be a huge battle. So we need everyone’s help. And who knows if the Evil God is in there?
