The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
"Of course I have my own uses," Sean said.
Karyana was the most knowledgeable person about surveying and mapping among the people he knew. If he could get a map of Lietis, wouldn't he be able to grasp the city's movements, especially the Prince's Palace?
"I really don't know why you always like to study these things. You have such a good talent, which should be used for magic. It's difficult for you to improve in one aspect if you are so divided. The time you are most capable is only these ten years or so. If you spend it well on magic, you will make great progress in the future!" Karyana actually said these words to herself very seriously.
It seems that she is not as [annoyed!] with herself as she appears.
The favorability level almost always remains unchanged at [Friendly], so this level of favorability shouldn't lead to any bad things.
"That's necessary. I have been practicing magic all the time... without falling behind at all," Sean said.
Except for special times when I don’t practice, I will practice a few magic tricks whenever I have some free time the next day. Otherwise, how can I improve my proficiency?
"We all give our all every day when we're training, unlike you who have so much free time... But never mind, you're still an imperial noble after all. You might prefer to improve your status rather than become a wizard." Seeing that Karyana seemed to be hesitant to speak, he paused.
I guess he wanted to say some inspirational words, but after considering his own identity, he finally said it.
"Why do you think that physical exertion is the only way to show effort? Many people work hard, but they just hide it in places that others can't see..."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Just help me get a map of Rietis, and I won't bother you about these things anymore." Sean interrupted himself while he was about to preach.
Forcing your own values to dominate others will not lead to any conclusion. You are here to draw a map, not to discuss the direction of life.
You will walk your own direction!
Karlyana looked at Sean with mixed emotions, and then her expression immediately changed to contempt.
"Rietis isn't like other cities. You can buy anything you want. You can go to the Bookshop of the Scholar in the North Market to see if you can find these things there."
It turns out it is for sale, then what am I still talking about?
Goodbye, goodbye...
"Hey, are you going there now? Do you know where it is?" Seeing Sean greeted directly and was about to leave, Karlyana stopped him.
Sean pulled something from his waist pouch and held it up in his hand.
"It doesn't matter, the gold coin will tell me."
Only then did Karyana realize that the other party was a nobleman, so if he wanted to find a place, he could just buy it with money!
"If I don't come back on time at night, you don't have to wait for me for dinner."
“…No one will wait for you!!!”
Sean only heard these words behind him, and when he left again, he had already passed through the door of the hall.
……………………
It was evening when he came here yesterday, but in the evening he was taken directly to the Prince's Palace by carriage, so Sean had never seen what the streets outside the headquarters of the Wings of the Sky looked like on weekdays.
The reason why Sean thinks the headquarters of the Wings of the Sky is a cathedral is because the surrounding buildings and the entire surrounding environment are also similar.
Walking out of the courtyard, there was a platform in front of me. There were paths at both ends that led to the back of the headquarters, and in front of me was a long staircase...
It was probably over fifty meters high in a straight line, elevating the entire Sky-Covering Wings headquarters to a higher ground, and one had to walk down to reach the official street. Of course, if one walked through the side door of the headquarters, there would be a long slope. That was how Frelia and I left last night.
This staircase is mostly cleaned by servants, so it's very spotless, and you can tell the stone is made of good quality...
To maintain such a large wizarding organization in a city like this while also supporting such expenses, it's no wonder Frelia said before that His Royal Highness the Prince was a great help to the Wings of the Covering Heaven.
Because in Sean's opinion, it is far from possible to make so much money by relying solely on a few hundred wizards to accept tasks. A lot of this money should come from the funding of the prince. Only the funding from the upper nobles can build such a large place.
As he walked down the street, Sean noticed that many people around him were [staring...] at him. When he turned to look at them, he felt [suspicion!] and [confusion!].
After all, the Wings of Heaven Covering is a witch organization, so a man like me would certainly attract a lot of attention if I came out of it...
But as these reminders became more frequent, Sean always felt uncomfortable, as if his every move was under the scrutiny of others... In fact, this situation is very normal. Even a beautiful girl walking on the street will attract a lot of attention.
But the key is that the girl doesn't know.
If there are always messages in your field of vision reminding you that someone is paying attention to you, anyone would feel uncomfortable being stared at.
If you gain a kind of power, you also have to bear the price of this power!
Sean found a passerby and asked if there was a carriage for rent nearby, and then headed towards the place he pointed.
There were still many people staring at me along the way, but after walking a few streets, the number of people became fewer. However, there were only three people whose gazes never stopped...
The word *3 appeared behind the prompt.
It’s strange. I’ve walked such a long distance, but is there still anyone paying attention to me?
And there were always three gazes, which meant he was obviously being followed!
Sean turned his head suddenly...
Because there were so many people on the street, when I turned around, I saw many people looking at me.
Real-life tracking isn't like watching movies where you turn around and see someone 'intentionally' hide. That's incredibly weak. The person actually tracking you walks around like a normal person, but they're watching you.
Even ordinary people will occasionally stare at the back of the person in front of them when walking, especially when they turn around, which will attract a lot of attention.
So you can't say someone looking at you is a stalker...
The moment Sean turned around, the number of prompts [Being watched...] increased instantly by more than a dozen. It seemed that it was not easy to find the other person in a crowded place, so he could only go to a place with fewer people first.
When they arrived at the carriage stop, Sean found a carriage that looked quite clean and asked the driver.
"Do you know where to go to the Scholar's Library in the North Market?"
The driver looked up and thought for a moment.
"Of course I know, I was just about to go!"
They had already seen the other party's "lie!" state, but since they knew the location of the North Market, Sean got in the car directly.
Close the door...
As the carriage began to move, the unnecessary clues in the field of vision disappeared.
Now only *2 are left.
