BXBX NOVEL Chapter 447 Van Richmond
Border,
I could hear the conversation of these people. I was wondering what their destination was. But it turned out they are going to the Capital as well.
My eyes flickered with a slight glint. Though I\'m not clear what the identity of the wealthy man is. But I\'m sure I will get the information on the way.
Then I opened my mailbox and looked at the mission information once again.
[Mission 09c: Give protection to the academy\'s branch office in Tolu Country. Time Limit: 3 months. Rewards: Based on performance.]
My expression remained calm and composed. The academy\'s branch office was located in the Capital. I can use these people to get there.
But I don\'t know what is going on out there. I bet only after reaching the branch office. I can get the information.
But unlike Sand Rock Country, it won\'t take too much time to reach the Capital. If my guess is right we will arrive at the Tolu Country\'s Capital in one week.
A few minutes later,
The campfire was extinguished. Everyone is ready to resume the journey. Seeing that I appeared in the Gregor Mansion. The ugly wealthy man entered the golden carriage again.
Shortly after,
The carriage departs towards the destination.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye,
Inside the Gregor Mansion, I\'m living my own life completely isolated from the outside world. Even if I want to look outside, I have to face the ugly wealthy man again.
So I decided to spend a week inside until the carriage arrives at the capital.
But I\'m not without any progress, I\'m deepening my knowledge of gravity magic by reading books.
The books kept me occupied most of the time. But one downside though, I couldn\'t properly meditate due to a lack of resources.
So my progress has stagnated recently. Come to think of it, there are quite a few resources in my hands. But I\'m reluctant to use it right now.
I was planning to use them once I step into the no man\'s land.
Sigh~
I let out a small sigh before closing down the book. Then I stood up and entered the control room. I want to see what the ugly man is doing.
But when I saw the mirror screen. Something unexpected caught my eye.
"What are you saying?"
"Van Richmond is not afraid of assassination!"
"Whoever is behind this they will feel the wrath of the Richmond household soon or later," The ugly wealthy man cursed out loud, looking at the scroll in front of him.
"Come here," He said.
The next second, the door opened. The servant stepped forward.
The ugly man didn\'t have a good impression of him. But he said to him, "Make sure everyone is on their guard. We will probably meet some trouble on the way."
The servant nodded his head. But his eyes filled with surprise.
Seeing that ugly man closed the door and closed his eyes.
Inside the Gregor Mansion,
Looking at the scene outside, I don\'t know whether to laugh or cry. I thought this ugly merchant was nobody.
But he got a target on his back. At least I don\'t want anything to happen to him until we reach the Capital.
\'Richmond household uh?" I muttered to myself. But looking at his low-level strength. I doubt he is from the Mage family.
But the way he carries himself and his arrogant tone toward servants. I\'m certain that this person is similar to the old man.
Sigh~
I sighed. Looks like I have to watch out for them. So that my plan was not hindered.
Since he said there will be trouble on the way. I can guess it will happen during late evening or night time.
Because we are not the only ones traveling on their road. I even heard the sound of some other carriages passing in the morning.
Then I waited for the time to arrive.
Time passed,
7 pm,
I changed into a set of black clothes to hide my presence. On top of it, I wore a black mask on my face. The effect of the transfiguration potion was over a few days go
Now my appearance was my original face. But still, I can\'t go out like that. The black mask is to hide my identity.
Come to think of it, the carriages are going smoothly. But we have to meet any mishap. Right now, the group is alone on the road.
There were no other travelers or adventures nearby. Even if there is any mishap. It\'s hard to seek any help out here.
I casually called out the status panel again.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

A status screen appeared before my eyes. But when my gaze set on the attributes. I wasn\'t surprised. Because the changes are not worth noticing.
Because I haven\'t meditated at all. But when I casually looked at the status panel. I heard some commotion from outside.
Swoosh,
I appeared inside the carriage. The ugly man was in deep sleep. Before he could see me, I knocked him out by slapping his forehead.
Creak~
I opened the door and walked outside. The next second, I saw a person carrying a dagger try to barge in. He didn\'t even glance at me.
Pfff!
I released mana pressure enveloping him. His skull got crushed and he dropped dead on the ground the next moment.
I\'m a level-5 Sub-Taboo Gravity Wizard. I don\'t have to use magic spells to kill low-level wizards.
When I turned around I spotted several black figures fighting the guards. "Do I have to save everyone?" I muttered in my heart.
I don\'t want my presence to be known. Who knows about the Burnett family\'s trick? They might find me by using small clues.
Then I made a decision. Ignoring everyone, I walked back to the golden carriage.
After entering inside, I sat opposite the unconscious ugly man. I know his name, Van. But I prefer calling him ugly.
Since there are no high-level wizards on either side. So the fight is balanced right now. I decided to wait.
Time passes,
After a few minutes, I can still hear the clashing of swords. I furrowed my eyebrows in displeasure.
These people are taking too much time. No wonder the high-level wizards have a dislike towards the low-level wizards.
They are not in the same world. I\'m even getting frustrated right now.
10 minutes later,
The commotion died down. I can feel that there is no more fighting going on. The ugly man\'s side has won the fight.
But they are not without casualties. I hope it won\'t slow down the trip. When I hear footsteps nearing the carriage. I disappeared from the spot and appeared back in the Gregor Mansion.
Creak~
The bloodied servant opened the door to check the master\'s condition. But when he saw the unconscious body, he exclaimed in fear.
Then he entered inside to examine. Seeing that master is alive but unconscious. His soul came back to his body.
After a few minutes, the ugly man, Van, woke up.
"What happened?" Van Richmond asked.
His servant began to explain what happened to them.
Van Richmond recalled being attacked. He turned toward his servant and asked, "Have you seen someone entering the carriage?"
The servant shook his head. They all are busy fighting the enemy. If someone had entered the carriage, then their master wouldn\'t be alive to say so.
"Strange?" Van muttered.
He had felt knocked out all of a sudden. The feeling was real, it\'s not his imagination. Then he asked his servant to resume the journey.
He wasn\'t surprised by the enemy attack. He has vague guesses about whoever is behind this. There are some old foxes in his family who dislike his return.
Maybe it\'s one of their jobs.
"Wait for me to return. I will find out one by one," Van muttered to himself. His eyes fuming in anger.
Meanwhile,
An amusing smile appeared on my face. The ugly man wasn\'t scared at all. Looks like the attacker is someone he knows.
