BXBX NOVEL Chapter 942: Buying map
I firmly landed on the ground where no one was there. My next destination is the lawless shadow country. But I have to cross 2 forbidden regions and one small state in between them before reaching the Lawless shadow country.
After gaining some clarity, I turned around to see. There are shops and other buildings in the distance. This city\'s tower magic has given me a wary feeling. I don\'t know what other unknown methods they have to find the intruders.
Removing the doubts in my mind. I started to move towards those shops. Shortly after, I came to the busy street. Thanks to the help of Captain Kenny. My dressing is no different from theirs. So it didn\'t attract that much attention.
While walking I hear people talking in different languages. The aura varis from level-4 to level-5. No different from the home state. But thankfully there is a common language understood everywhere.
Not long after, I found a shop. The shop name board attracted my attention.
"EDWARD STORE," I muttered to myself. Then I entered the shop. Inside the shop, my eyes swept across the racks. There are all kinds of antiques neatly arranged inside.
"Guest, what do you want?" An old man\'s voice disturbed my thoughts.
Hearing that I saw an old man standing beside me.
"Cough"
"Is there any map of the forbidden region available here?" I asked.
A quick glint flashes in the old man\'s eyes. He appears to be 60 years old. He was dressed in simple plain white clothes.
[Ding! Warning]
[A faint killing intent is detected.]
A mechanical voice sounded in my mind. The next second, my heart set off storms.
The old man revealed a smile before saying,"Forbidden Zone?"
"Which forbidden zone young guests?"
Hearing that I replied,"Silent Forest"
Because the actual name of the forbidden place is Silent forest and the strange country situated in between these 2 forbidden zones called us Silent Country.
"Silent forest, yes we have a map with us," the old man strangely said before going back to the desk.
"Is he testing me?" I asked myself in my heart.
The old man opened the drawer before taking out white scroll. He then opened the white scroll to show the drawing.
The other hand, I slowly walked to the desk. I saw a map which looked like it was drawn by hand.
"Is it real?" I asked. Because these days no one follows the old method except the digital one. Even back home people follow the digital map of the country.
It\'s just when it comes to the world map. The situation is different. The world is so big. No major organization seems to have the world map.
The old man smiled before saying,"Guest is joking. When you go to the forbidden zone. All kinds of communication will be lost."
"You need these types of old maps to locate your position," He added.
Hearing that a look of understanding dawned on me. How could I miss this detail? The next second, I showed an embarrassed smile.
"Ha...Ha...Ha..."
"Don\'t worry, the guest seems to be a youngster. It is normal not to know these details. But are you from a foreign country?" The old man asked.
He finds the young man\'s slang is slightly different. Which is not native to the Lizzen state.
"Sorry, I can\'t tell," I calmly replied. Unintentionally, I leaked so many details. My back went cold. Not only that, the old man seems to be having a wizard level higher than me.
"How come a random shopkeeper in the border city happens to be an advanced ranking wizard?" I asked myself.
When this thought appeared. I realized I have missed something. The old man has a hidden identity. A cold sweat appeared on my forehead. Read new chapters at m_v-l\'e|-NovelBin.net
The old man asked,"Guest, what happened?"
"Are you buying this map or not?"
"Yes, I\'m buying," I replied.
The old man smiled before saying,"It\'s 50 mid grade mana stones."
Hearing that I\'m stunned. Then I thought it\'s more important to get away from this place. So I gave him 50 mid grade mana stones from the storage bracelet.
The old man received the mana stones with a smile on his face. Then he gave the white scroll to me.
After getting the map, I placed it on the storage bracelet before leaving the shop.
Feeling fresh air brushing off against my face. I felt a huge weight lifted off from my shoulder. Then I glanced at the shop before disappearing into the crowd.
The other hand, the old man took a circular communication disk from the drawer and contacted someone.
When the connection was established.
"Elder, what happened?" A female voice sounded from the other side.
"Is there any foreign team entering the silent forest?" The old man asked.
"Yes, there are many teams registered to enter the forbidden zone," The female replied.
"Then check if any youngster under 20 is in the foreign team," The old man asked.
The female agreed before ending the communication.
"Interesting," The old man muttered to himself. Because he knows no one dares to enter the silent forest except the big forces.
So he thinks the youngster must be from those forces.
20 minutes later,
I found a narrow alley to appear inside the Gregor Mansion. Then I appeared in the Hall and took the white scroll to view. The map is drawn with the black ink.
The map starts from the Lizzen state to the border of the Lawless Shadow Country. Seeing that a hint of relief flashes in my eyes.
But I can\'t be complacent thinking it\'s a border country. I should leave the Lizzen state immediately. After gaining some clarity in my thoughts. I started looking at the map.
The Lizzen state has very few natural areas. Most of the land mass is filled with cities and millions of people. Then my gaze set on the current city.
This border city is quite developed. There are many routes leading to several parts of the country. Among them there is one leading to the Silent forest.
"Is this simple?" I asked myself. The routes drawn on the map look simple. Like anyone can go anywhere. But I have heard another thing from Captain Kenny.
"The Lizzen state is guarded against the Silent forest," I muttered to myself.
There is another word outside that Lizzen state is guarded against the Silent forest. That\'s why no one wants to invade this country.
