From MC''s Perspective:


    "10 mid-grade mana stones, uh." I muttered to myself after leaving the building.


    Then I examined the online ticket on my watch. It was enough to get me inside the Merchant Alliance''s Airship.


    The female staff member had already directed me to the Merchant Alliance Office. They have their own building and airship tform.


    Then, without wasting time, I began walking towards that location.


    40 minutester,


    I arrived at the Merchant Alliance office. In front of me is a massive multi-story circr ss building.


    I am wearing a mask and an adventure suit. So the guards immediately prevented me from entering. I then showed them my online entry ticket.


    Seeing this, both guards exchanged looks. I noticed some suspicion in their eyes.


    "Wait for us here. We will notify our manager. Following that," one of the guards departed.


    Seeing that I sighed inwardly. Though they are suspecting my identity. But they can''t afford me to shoo me away. Because I''m one of their potential customers.


    If the middle-aged women''s words are correct, the people running the merchant union will not conduct any background checks as long as I pay them money.


    Not long after,


    A middle-aged man wearing a ck suit arrived. His skin was tanned. His hair was brownish gray. But he gives off a schrly aura.


    "Hello, my name is Antony. I''m the manager here," He greeted me with a smile.


    "My name is Ethan Brown," I introduced myself, then showed him my online entry ticket.


    The Manager Antony raised his brows. Then he checked the online ticket.


    Antony responded,"There is no doubt. It is a service provided by us. You can look at our airship deck."


    At the same time, he attempted to pry the visitor''s details. However, he failed to do so. He was taken aback a little. But he did not show it on his face.


    "If you do not mind, I will take you to the airship," He added.


    Hearing that, I replied, "Alright."


    Both guards looked surprised. Typically, their Manager will not do this type of work.


    Then Manager Antony led the way, and I followed him.


    While walking, I keep an eye on my surroundings. I am looking for traces of the Peak Level Wizards.


    After passing the circr building, we arrived at a vast and open field. Where different sizes of air ships can be seen on the ground.


    "Which one is going to the Sand Rock Country," I asked.


    Antony swept his gaze over the airships before saying, "No.2, brown one."


    He then directed me towards the brown medium-sized airships. As I got closer, I noticed people on the deck. They appeared to be prepared to depart.


    When we arrived before the airship. Everyone took notice of the Manager Antony. We both did a simple leap beforending on the deck.


    "Where is Captain Hond?" Antony asked.


    The next moment, a middle aged man wearing Captain''s uniform appeared.


    "The visitor has an entry ticket. Show him around?" After saying that Antony left.


    On the other hand, I turned to the Captain and greeted him.


    "Hi, I''m Ethan," I said.


    "Well, look at your clothing style. I doubt that is your real name. But it is a pleasure to meet you," Hond said, smiling.


    "I came here to check the Air ship''s cabins. I will leave after that without disturbing anyone," I told the Captain.


    Captain Hond immediately understood. Those who use Entry Tickets intend to send their goods through the Merchant Alliance.


    Then he took me to the nearest cabin. However, that cabin was filled with goods.


    "It''s the wrong one. I''ll take you to thest one. Which was almost empty," He said.


    "How long will it take for your ship to reach Sand Rock Country?" I asked.


    Captain Hond paused his footsteps for a moment.


    "It will take at least two months," he said, without turning back.


    I nodded when I heard that. It was perfectly within my calctions. They had to load and unload the goods in other countries en route.


    Finally, I arrived at thest cabin. There was plenty of storage space inside the cabin. A few metallic boxes are ced in the corner.


    "Those goods were for Sand Rock Country. If you want to send something to Sand Rock Country, you can store it here," Hond exined.


    On other hand, I have decided to implement the n.


    I furrowed my brow before ncing towards the Captain''s cabin.


    "What''s wrong?" Hond asked.


    "I felt someone enter your cabin," I exined.


    "What?" Hond eximed in surprise.


    "It is true; go see for yourself. I have somewhere else to go," I told him.


    Hond did not question the words before vanishing from the scene.


    I smiled as I stepped inside the cabin and closed the door.


    Swoosh!


    Then I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion.


    Outside,


    Captain Hond returned to his cabin and noticed one of the office staff standing outside.


    "You are aware that approaching the Captain''s cabin without permission is prohibited," Hond inquired.


    The male staff responded without change of expression, "Manager Antony has instructions for you. He wants you to collect visitor information."


    "What?"


    "But that visitor has already left," Hond answered.


    The male staff expression turned bad.


    He said, "I will inform the manager."


    A few minutester,


    Antony was sitting behind the desk in the manager''s office. When the staff arrived. He asked him the details.


    "He left," Antony muttered to himself.


    "That individual was mysterious. His background must be huge," He said in his heart. He remembered trying to get the visitor''s information. But he could not get anything.


    "Okay, we were alreadyte. Tell Hond to leave right away," Antony ordered.


    20 minutester,


    The Brown Air ship carrying the emblem of the Merchant Union had left the sphere of Lizzen Nation. They are on their way to their destination.


    A few dayster,


    In the early morning, the Brown Merchant Airship made a stop at Bright Nation''s Merchant Union. Which is situated in the Capital. They have some goods to deliver.


    The Capital, like other wizard countries, has a high concentration of mana. Some servants are taking a break to meditate here. While others are unloading the items. Since it was their turn to work.


    Inside the Gregor Mansion.


    I am sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall, meditating. Unlike other days, today is a little different.


    My Gravity Physique is about to reach level 100. I am looking forward to the changes it will bring.


    Then I arranged the mana stones around me. I cradled one in my palm before closing my eyes. I started running the mental method.


    As the Gravity Mana particles travel throughout my body. Internally, I sense that a hole is being filled. Over time, small amounts of mana particles are absorbed by the mana core space.


    Click!


    At one point, I felt a click from somewhere deep within my body.


    Argh!


    The next moment, a heartbreaking pain emanates from my body and mind. I felt even more pain from deep within my body. I guess it is the soul.


    My mind went nk before I lost consciousness. The following moment, a deep suctiones to the unconscious body. It started to form mana from the mana stones.


    A mana whirl formed, and a dense, pure mana began to flow into the unconscious body.


    In the blink of an eye, the piles of mana stones surrounding the body turned to dust. However, the suction bes even stronger.


    From outside, dense mana begins to enter the Gregor Mansion from all sides. Then they all find ways to enter the unconscious body.


    The suction strength increases over time. The unconscious body was wrapped in mana white mists like a cocoon.


    The unconscious body is going through magical changes.


    Outside,


    Everyone was in shock. A typhoon appears above the Merchant Alliance''s airship. The force swept away the workers.


    Captain Hond is doing his best to protect the Airship.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    The sudden appearance of the Natural Phenomena has taken Bright Nation Merchants by surprise.


    They did not take this seriously. Rather, they are enjoying the conditions of the Lizzen State Merchant.


    If anything happened to the AirShip, the Merchant Alliance would suffer a massive loss.


    "What''s going on?" Hond asked himself.


    He was standing in mid-air, close to the Airship. He can see what is happening. A dense flow of pure mana is entering the AirShip. This means that there is something in the Air sip that is attracting mana.


    Hond is breaking into a cold sweat.


    "Do not tell me that a powerful magical artifact was a product to deliver," Hond muttered to himself.


    If this is true, they will be in a lot more danger from now on. He noticed that Bright Nation Merchants had yet to discover the anomaly. He hopes the phenomenon passes before they can figure out what is going on.


    1 hourter,


    The typhoon dissipates and the sky returns to normal.


    Hond sighed with relief. Then he instructs the workers to unload the items as soon as possible.


    But he had no idea that some of the Bright Nation Merchants were already on to something.
