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, ...
Ash was waiting at his place early in the morning...
Moreover, the place where he lived was a room specially used for surveillance. From the window here, he could see the gate of the caravan warehouse opposite, and even the carriages. As long as there was the slightest movement, Ash believed that he would be the first to know.
Ever since I saw a few Borgs a few days ago, I have been following their every move.
It's not surprising that the Borg came here, but these people were too disciplined. Their walking posture and eating habits were all in a very uniform standard.
Anyone who knows the Borg knows that the military training in that country is probably one of the most rigorous in the world.
The army that emerged from their area was very recognizable, and Ash was certain from the moment he saw them that they were from the Borg military...
The Borg army showing up in this place is just bizarre.
After following him for a few days, he discovered that the other party seemed to be preparing to buy a special crystal from the fishermen at sea, a kind of cold purple crystal from the deep sea.
In order to obtain this information, Ash spent a lot of effort... both tracking and bribing were used, and he finally got the news that the other party wanted to buy the crystal. After that, he looked up some records about this crystal and found that it was an ancient crystal whose secrets had not been solved.
That’s why I made the subsequent plans.
No matter what these crystals are or what the other party wants to use them for, you have to take them first.
Otherwise, if the Borg use it, it might pose a threat to the country...
But the other party was in the army after all, and Ash was not sure, so he needed support from his companions. At this time, Steele was the only Bashalan wizard who came to Mersin in the nearby area.
The Witches of the Sky-Covering Wings, the wizard organization affiliated with the prince.
Although the situation is a bit small, the other party is still from the Bashalan Empire after all, so they should be able to help...
should……
Ash was watching the time by the window while waiting for Steele to arrive.
She should have received the news by now, but she didn't come yesterday. Could something have happened? She thought to herself.
Probably not...
If something happened, her apprentices might come looking for him, which meant that he had returned safely. After all, from the beginning, Ash didn't believe that he would really track down any wizards from the southern continent.
Speaking of the wizard from the south, Ash thought of the white-haired witch he met at the door of the other party's inn last night... a very beautiful white-haired witch.
It seems that the little girls mentioned before that the wizard from the southern continent was accompanied by a disciple with white hair. Could it be that one?
Thinking of this, Ash suddenly realized.
If that's the case, doesn't that mean they are staying in a hotel?
I……
Ash's aristocratic upbringing prevented him from uttering the following curse words, but he was still angry in his heart. They were actually in the same hotel, so what was Steele saying about tracking the other party? He was tracking him in his own hotel?
Haha~ The people of Wings of Covering Heaven are really untrustworthy. No wonder they are unwelcome in the Imperial Wizarding Corps. The only thing is that they are mostly women who are talked about.
A bunch of people who are just trying to attract attention...
Although Ash cursed in his heart, he still thought about the good side.
Maybe the wizard went out, and the tracking they mentioned meant following him out!
However, just as I was thinking this, there was a knock on the door...
"who?"
"I'm Steele." A loud female voice came.
The dragon-slaying witch Steele Philomena...
Her most amazing feat was fighting a flying dragon when she was young, and she did so entirely with the help of powerful enchanted weapons, without any unnecessary traps or magic. Her strong physical combat ability has always been feared by many imperial wizards, and she is also known as the Dragon Slayer Witch.
Finally here.
Ash was busy opening the door. Even though he had just cursed the other person in his heart, as long as the other person could come, his hope would be much greater, so he had to accept it, and he accepted it happily!
"You are finally here, Your Excellency Steele Philomena."
"Well, I received the message you sent."
Both of them knew what was going on, but they still had to follow the routine in certain situations.
"That's great. Let me tell you the details now."
"Um……"
Ash briefly recounted his discovery and tracking of the Borg soldiers, and said that one of the reasons he chose this place was to monitor them.
The two walked to the window of the room and looked at the warehouse opposite... This city is a port city, and many things shipped here will of course be placed somewhere. Not all things can be resold as soon as they arrive.
Therefore, there are many warehouses of this kind on the coast. If there is no one to take over the seafood after it is delivered, it will be sent here as soon as possible. The cold storage here has various conditions and can perfectly preserve many things including food.
"They're still in there. It's like there's not a lot of stuff, but it's still packed in there."
Steele frowned after hearing the other party's description.
"There are so many of those special crystals. Why do we need a warehouse to store them?"
"Actually... I'm not sure how much there is, but I don't think it's a lot, maybe just one or two boxes." Ash said uncertainly.
"Why put it here if that's the case?"
"That's what I find strange. Although I'm not entirely sure, I'm certain the price hasn't been agreed upon yet. They might have seen how much the Borg military wants the crystals, and started asking a high price. And in this country, they wouldn't just kill people and then let things go, so..."
