Flauros walked out of the room. If the exit wasn't on the top floor, then was it on the bottom floor?
'No, if I go down there and can't find the exit, it would be a waste of time. Moreover, the people who come here seem to have a return ticket schedule....'
'Where can I get a ticket?'
Flauros seemed to have forgotten something, he suddenly realized that he was still wearing the clothes of the unfortunate nobleman he had killed on the first floor.
'Forgot...'
Touching his pocket, there was indeed a yellow ticket engraved with a very prominent teleportation spell. The time on the ticket was unlimited, it seemed that the person he killed earlier was a VIP. Putting the ticket away, Flauros couldn't help but think to himself.
'In any case, the security at the farm must be very tight, there are nobles and people in power here.'
'And above all, the deaths and disappearances of the slaves will be discovered very quickly. I need to leave this place quickly before this place is sealed off.'
Flauros originally planned to take action against the guard of this place, because according to the information Zaylaroth gave him, he was very sharp and might be able to detect the traces of Mana he left when he broke the spell at the slave trading place.
But when he left that storage room, after a while, he felt the Mana fluctuations from there. Zaylaroth must have teleported using a magic circle.
'If he were as sharp as he said, he would have detected me before I killed that guy in the main hall's private room.'
'It seems like he is a suspicious liar.'
'But it's too much of a waste to kill him, he seems to know more about forbidden magic than I thought.'
'And this necklace, it seems like we need to use his information to learn more about it...'
'And above all, I don't belong to this place, so how could this necklace accept me because I carry the bloodline protected by its previous owner? Could it be that what he said was about my identity before I transmigrated to this place...?'
'It's even more impossible, when on Earth, there was no worship of the god of fire, right? I wasn't a believer before either.'
'Forget it, I have to leave this place first. This place has no value anymore.'
He also had no intention of burning this place down, if more people in charge knew about the existence of forbidden magic, it would be troublesome.
They could completely recognize it from the remaining traces of Mana and follow it like a pack of hunting dogs, but it was completely unnecessary.
Although there would be many problems if the corpses he had killed before were not cremated, if he didn't cause too much of a commotion, no troublesome people would know about it and interfere.
Because those people were at the same level as him, they caused a lot of trouble, and even if the others knew about it and investigated, they wouldn't be able to find anything disadvantageous to him.
Flauros left the auction house, heading to the corridor leading downstairs after searching the place thoroughly without finding what he was looking for. Right before leaving, Flauros suddenly stopped.
'I've looked at the map of this place before. This floor only has 4 spiral corridors, and each corridor has 7 separate rooms. So what is this?'
Flauros curled his lips in delight as he looked up at the especially large and strangely patterned door in front of him. There was no Mana fluctuation around, it seemed like there was no spell.
He walked closer and touched the door, and it slowly opened. Flauros was momentarily surprised, but then regained his composure.
In this paradise continent, there was also a rare profession that was on par with pharmacists and mechanics.
Their achievements were extremely marvelous, and some of the items created by the pioneers of mechanics were even more powerful and sophisticated than the artifacts created by primitive wizards.
That's why it was very rare to encounter an automatic door like this in a different world without modern technology.
'Surprising, to be able to invite a talented mechanic to make this. The person behind this black market is not ordinary.'
'This seems to be another corridor.'
Flauros saw that there was no one behind the door, and this place looked much cleaner and more luxurious.
The path led straight up. Flauros used his divine eye①, and saw that after walking a little further, there was a guard, a wizard dressed like a royal wizard.
'Looks like this is the exit, that's good.'
'Consider myself lucky.'
'Ah...'
'But before we go, should I leave something for them? If they can't find a way out, it's all for nothing if I save them.'
Flauros left a small symbol to guide the way, he controlled the Mana veins flowing around to leave traces of the way. But of course, it was forbidden magic, he didn't want the mage inside to find out.
Flauros finished, then withdrew his divine eye. Summoned a black shadow to appear beside him with a forbidden spell, a humanoid subordinate that looked like the servant locked in the room earlier appeared.
Summoned another mask, when the black smoke cleared, two people with different identities appeared.
The reason he had the guts to cast a spell while being so close to a mage without fear of being detected by the Mana fluctuation was because he used forbidden magic, it was different from other common magic, so wizards and creatures that sense Mana (low level) could not sense it.
Zaylaroth realized it, the reason was that he was a pure-blooded elf and had a certain understanding, otherwise no one would know that what Flauros cast was magic.
Flauros prepared everything, silently giving orders to the person beside him with his thoughts. The two of them walked forward, passing through a few small stairs leading up.
Flauros saw the group of three standing there as if they were guarding some kind of spell circle. It was a teleportation spell that followed a pre-saved address.
'This type of spell is a low-level common spell, it seems like the one who created it is a useless wizard.'
'Tch, it could also be some royal wizard who relied on his family background to pass the exam, and is still just a person with trashy strength.'
A person who once stood at the pinnacle of the wizarding field, now seeing what the later generation learned and did to Mana in such a useless way, even if it was a wizard from the previous era, would be angry.
Furthermore, a person who had lost everything and hated many current forces would find it even more disgusting.
If it weren't for the fact that he still had a glimmer of reason and that he still had a personal grudge against the person behind the fire that year that he hadn't paid, he would have wanted to burn all the wizards and royal nobles on the continent to death.
It's just that his current ability to do that is still limited, at most, he can wipe out a few countries, but he can't do anything to the entire celestial world.
'Let's leave here quickly, it's been too much of a waste of time.'
'Follow me.'
The servant beside him followed the chanted command and slowly slowed down to retreat, the other three also realized that someone had arrived.
The one wearing the royal wizard's robe immediately returned to his position in front, his whole face showing off the 'big customer' leaving, and the two soldiers beside him also returned to their original positions.
They also didn't do their job well, they even left their work positions to gossip, only returning to their original positions when someone arrived.
'Easy work, high salary, huh?'
Flauros secretly mocked in his heart, but still didn't show it on his face. He looked a bit difficult like a nobleman in disguise, the wizard didn't see anything unusual and stepped forward to make way, politely saying.
"This way, my lord, I'm sure you've found the items you like here."
"Um, here's the ticket."
"Yes, sir, please wait for me a moment."
'It sounds like some pyramid scheme scammer..'
"It's done, sir, you can go now. You just need to step onto this circle."
"Okay"
'Follow me up'
The servant respectfully followed behind when both of them entered the incantation. The wizard immediately began to chant, immediately after that a blue light flashed, and immediately after that the two figures disappeared.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the outside space, smelling the fresh air. Flauros knew he was right in guessing that the place was underground, and he also guessed that this place must not be far from the town of Sylies.
"Tsk, I'll have to travel again."
Although it was not far, finding a way back to the inn near the town center while in the remote suburbs was indeed very difficult. Flauros carefully observed the surrounding scenery, which seemed to be a small alley near a major road. Coming out of the alley, the night road was deserted.
'This place is quite suitable for entering and exiting an illegal place'
'But I need to find somewhere to know where this place is and the way back to the inn'
'Everyone around here has turned off the lights and gone to sleep. Some houses still have lights on, but they are all locked.'
'Well, it's better to find out for yourself'
Flauros waved his hand, and the silhouette of the servant beside him immediately turned into ashes, blending into the darkness. He strode on the paved road, walking along the sidewalk for a while, then came to a fork in the road.
Before the fork in the road was a long and wide river, covering the entire side of the two roads. The moonlight shimmered under the water like broken glass, and the cool air in the quiet night created a very beautiful scene.
'If this is a river, then just walking along this road should lead to the central square, that's the sign, right?'
Flauros followed the direction of a large sign at the intersection that pointed to Road 3- Mazael. If he remembered correctly, if he followed this road, he would turn back to the square and find the inn.
Well, let's just go. he couldn't use teleportation magic because he hadn't recorded the sitting spell②, and he couldn't use a broom to fly. Walking was fine, in the many years of hiding.
Flauros had worked hard to train his body to hide his identity and fulfill his promise not to kill people with magic, so his physical strength was very good. Walking the entire capital for a day without stopping was no problem.
And why did he use forbidden magic to kill people when he had firmly sworn and carried it out? Forbidden magic is not magic, it is more like a curse, so Flauros used it to kill people instead of using magic.
It was a clever way to get around the promise, and Flauros did not think it was wrong. Simply put, the people he killed here and there were all guilty scum.
Walking on the deserted, dark road, Flauros couldn't help but secretly sigh that the weather was gradually getting warmer as it prepared to change from spring to summer.
The weather in the paradise continent was extremely good, it was perfect with four distinct seasons everywhere. Only the two poles, the West and East, were cold and covered in ice.
As for the rest, what created the natural differentiation on the entire continent, according to the ancient book left by the greatest wandering wizard - Dante redwood, it was due to the movement of the primordial Mana in the planet's core moving around the tectonic plate.
That was all Flauros knew, as for more, few people knew clearly.
Having some free time to think about it on the way home, Flauros suddenly became curious.
'If the order to purge witches across the continent has been issued, then is that legendary witch Dante still alive?'
'Or has he chosen to give up everything, after all, there aren't many true witches who would accept becoming a royal witch to be a hunting dog for their superiors'
'It's like selling their freedom, so being a wandering witch is meaningless'
'Then what about the master? Is he still alive and well? And Miss Sora, is she living peacefully as a royal witch?'
".... "
All of these were unanswered questions, calling it worry wouldn't be right, just curiosity. Having lived through hell, transmigrating here and experiencing so many things, there was nothing worth worrying about for Flauros anymore.
Except for one thing, revenge.
