Chapter 775 - 775 Meeting the Agent

775 Meeting the Agent

The drug addict pharmacist was found. He looked like he had just stabbed himself. When the truth is that I was the one who found him, killed him, and made it look like he killed himself.

A pharmacist who is addicted to drugs. As someone who also meddle in medical knowledge, I feel ashamed of him. And every pharmacist who are drug addicts as well.

He was found in his own house because when I stabbed him, he screamed. It was on purpose.

I can easily make the sound blocked by air magic. But I didn’t do that so he will scream after being stabbed and everyone will notice him. And I quickly enter the empty alley and hide from everyone.

I can’t hear what they’re talking about. But I can see their reactions.

They noticed that there’s a blood trail from somewhere to where the drug addict pharmacist died. And they are going to follow the trail. They will find the other murdered people soon. And because all of them were killed by a normal knife, and I left the knife in the drug addict pharmacist’s hand, everyone will think that the drug addict is the one who killed them.

If that’s all of the summoner in this place, that would be great. But I don’t think that’s the case. And some summoners, once they noticed that the other summoners were being murdered, will escape via portal. The only way for them to leave this place.

After all, other than being physically strong, the other way out is to have summoner who have their familiars roaming in this world to open a portal to their familiar’s location.

Though if their familiars are in Monsters World, they can still be used. The summoners will open a portal to Monsters World. And the most likely place their familiars are staying is in another base in Monsters World. From there, the cult members can get another summoners in another base on Earth to transfer them.

.....

Just how many summoners do they have? So annoying.

Let’s continue looking around.

Since a lot of them are powerful mages, the corpses are found quickly. Still laying on their bed. Though I made it so the lock on the door to those houses seem to have been picked by someone. Again, to make it look like the drug addict pharmacist trespass those houses.

And some other people are telling someone else. Let’s follow them.

The person they give the report to seems to be the most important person in this city. Should I call him Mayor?

I observed the Mayor and everyone with him. Seems like even though he was assigned as the one in charge of this place, the others don’t need to be polite around him. I guess he’s just in charge because no one else want that position. Everyone here is equal to the Evil God after all. Worthless to me.

Considering everyone here seem loyal to Evil God, I might be right. I guess that’s why there’s no crimes happening in this place.

Even if they are the bad guys, Albert and the other kings can still learn a thing or two from them. If everyone is loyal to the king, there won’t be much crimes.

But what if some people’s livelihood came from those crimes? Like the guards? No wonder for some areas, criminals are still important for them.

Well, I don’t have to care about them. I only need to care about destroying the cult. After all, for those who are loyal to the Evil God, or True God as they call him, we are the bad guys. And I don’t deny that.

The real bad guys will be decided by the winner. That’s all there is to it.

Some of the people the Mayor talked to is moving to a same place. Other houses where some people are resting.

Let’s follow them. If they are summoners, then I will kill them later. Can’t let anyone escape from this place.

Oh, wait! Is that the church? And that person is the agent? He’s resting in one of the guest room there. Is he being treated like a guest by the church of Evil God?

Interesting. Let’s talk to him.

The church is always crowded. Well, everyone here is loyal to the Evil God. So they pray every day, I guess.

But how will I enter the church? And how will the agent leave the church?

Wait, there are many shops here. But there’s no inn at all. I guess that’s why he got the permission to stay in the church. Especially when all the strong mages are there every day. They can watch over him.

Should I wait until he leaves the church? I guess that’s an option. And I can’t just kill more people at the moment after they know that some are already dead.

There’s a river in the city. And from there, I can see the agent’s movement. Let’s hide in the river. Even if that’s where everyone is getting water from, other than water mages probably, they won’t notice me since I will be hiding quite deep. It’s a deep river after all.

There are some crocodiles, but I just punched them and stop them from moving. Grabbing the crocodiles so they won’t float on the surface of the river. That will be suspicious seeing a fainted crocodile.

Oh, piranhas. Lucky. I’ll just feed the crocodile to the piranhas. And their bites are not strong enough to pierce through my armor and my Aura. Though these piranhas’ bites are strong enough to even crush bones. There’s nothing remaining from the crocodile. Scary.

Being underwater, unless there’s a master level water mage, I won’t be found easily. But there shouldn’t be many powerful master level water mages. Even for expert level mages, Carmen is the only one I know to reached that level as a water mage.

Similar to air magic, water magic is not known to be powerful. So people only use if for convenience when they don’t want to draw water from the well or from the river. Never for fighting purpose. Or at least it’s rare for water mages to learn magic to fight since it’s well-known that water magic are not that powerful.

So I should be safe.

But there’s a powerful air mage that Airy detected before. So I might be wrong. And that’s why I need to keep my guard up.

After staying underwater for four hours, I finally see the agent is leaving the church. Must be hungry for lunch.

Four hours being underwater is fine for me. I dived into the ocean a lot to look for treasures.

I leave the river away from the city, then change my clothes to a clean and dry one before meeting the agent.

“It’s like you’re preparing for a date,” Victoria said.

“It’s because wearing wet clothes in the middle of the city is basically screaming, ‘Hey, I’m suspicious y’all!’ and I will be targeted.”

When I get close to him, Airy told me that he’s using wind magic to hear the surrounding. I think everyone here is already used to it so they didn’t watch him all the time. They must be thinking that he’s just a weak mage.

Well, he can act weaker than his real strength because he learned magic control.

I look around and see that no one is checking on him. He’s spending his money to get a private place in the restaurant. So I can just enter there. Though it will be suspicious for someone entering alone to end up meeting someone else in the private room.

“Hey, talk to yourself if there’s anything I need to know,” I said simply and make my move before I hide under the table and hid my presence.

“...They didn’t say anything about summoners here. Maybe they don’t think that I know about portals, and they want to keep it a secret from me,” he said.

“Don’t say about anything suspicious. Someone is coming,” I said.

The one coming is not a wind mage. But he must be a master level mage since he thinks that there’s something suspicious here. Not the previous waiter who came here and take the agent’s order before.

“Here’s your order. Is there anything wrong, sir?” the waiter asked.

“Oh, did I talk to myself again? Sorry. I chose private room because I don’t want to bother anyone with me talking to myself,” the agent said.

“Yeah. It’s rare for us to meet anyone from the outside since we are too weak to go out there. At first, we enjoyed hearing you talking to yourself since we can learn a bit about the outside world. But now, many don’t like it and keep away from you. I advise you to not do it too much in public at least,” the waiter said. And then he left.

“You gained reputation as the crazy hunter who talks to himself. He’s far now.. you can talk to yourself again now,” I said.

“Sigh... I should really stop talking to myself. Do I annoy everyone I talk to? Even the priests at the church stopped talking to me unless I approached them first. If there’s an inn here, I could leave the church and not bother anyone else. But I guess I can’t. I’ll just train my body until I’m strong enough to pass trough the Magicless Area then. I’m going back home and confess my love to her!”

He’s good at acting. Though I don’t know if it’s just acting or the truth. I guess it’s a mix of lies and truths. That will make him more believable.

Well, let’s hear more about what he learned in this place.
