Chapter 708 Part 2: Velbor City
From MC's perspective:
The Velbor City,
"Thank you for your suggestion. But I have already packed the necessary items with me," I said to everyone.
"Are you sure?" May asked again.
I nodded my head in response.
Theo sighed in relief.
"See, newcomers are bright. We have already wasted enough time. We should enter the wilderness as the first few teams."
"Otherwise, we will be targeted by others," Theo said.
When he said that everyone's expression turned solemn. Then everyone starts walking to the wilderness.
As we got closer, I saw many auras of level-4 and level-5 wizards. Most of them are adventurers. I also spotted rogue wizards with murderous intentions.
Looks like there is no screening for the 2nd entrance. As long as people have enough money to buy the passes, the authorities allow anyone to enter.
No wonder this place attracts a lot of evil wizards. They can easily loot and kill inside the wilderness.
So far I have not seen any single faction here. Maybe they are using the 1st entrance. The 1st entrance is far away from here.
Otherwise, these people won't be this rampant.
After passing through the crowd. We walked for 10 more minutes before we got to see the fortified wall.
Seeing that a hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. The wall was higher than I thought. But it was no way near the Capital City.
But the protection is better compared to the nearby cities.
Meanwhile,
Ronnie and others have already purchased the 2nd entrance pass. As per the plan agreed with Theo, Ronnie led everyone to enter the wilderness.
Apart from the poisonous plants and monsters. They have to be wary of other adventurer teams and rogue wizards.
Right now, they have entered as early as they could. So the presence of dangers might be less. After reaching the specific point, Ronnie has to contact Theo. So they can lead others to the same place.
On the other hand, we reached the administration building. There is not much queue at this time.
Seeing that Theo quickly rushed out to enter the building to buy 6 passes. At the same time, the teams near us are checking out everyone.
Especially the rogue wizards would like to target the weak team.
May and April looked at each other. Both of them are in a panic right now. Phill's expression was grave.
"What is he going to do?" He said in his heart.
He knows Theo has some plan. But at the same time, the danger surrounding them was real. If they bump into any rogue wizards, only Theo can save them.
By the time Theo walked out with the passes. A few adventurer teams and rogue wizards have marked the Blue Heart Team as a target.
Once they enter inside, others will enter soon.
That's why few of the adventurer team are waiting outside with passes to find a suitable target.
When Theo walked out to meet everyone. His shoulders were light. He has completed another step. Next, he just has to guide everyone to that place.
"Alright, we got the passes"
"Let's go," Theo said before leading everyone towards the gate.
On the other hand, a faint smile appeared on my face. Theo was so enthusiastic that he paid the fees for everyone including me.
While following, I'm also keeping an eye on the surroundings. To hide my true strength, I lowered the strength to level 4.
Because of that several malicious gazes fell on me. I couldn't help but shake my head. If they dare to follow me, I can only kill them and collect their valuables later.
Soon, we reached a huge metallic gate. Which is the entrance to the wilderness. And guards are screening everyone with passes before entering inside.
As long as anyone holds a valid pass, they can enter inside. We stood behind the line. I can see that May and April are extremely nervous.
Even the leader Phill has become less talkative. He was supposed to be our leader and guide everyone. But now Theo is taking care of that job.
20 minutes later,
It was our time. After checking out passes, the guard let us pass through one by one. Seeing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
He didn't even ask for passes. This seems like the authorities are purposely allowing everyone to enter.
"Are you surprised?" Phill asked.
Hearing that I nodded my head.
"The authorities want to make money. For them, a major source of income is the entry passes. As long as more people come here, the more passes will be sold."
"Because the 1st entrance is occupied by the right faction and other big forces. They won't let the local government make money."
"That's why the authorities are focused on making money out of the 2nd entrance," Phill added.
Hearing that a look of understanding dawned on me.
By that time, we had already started walking. Currently, we are in the outer area. Which is close to the city wall.
When I raised my head to look ahead. I can see only barren wilderness. Except for green and yellow patches on the ground. There are no trees and dense green vegetation.
If any conflict breaks out there is no place to take cover. Seeing that I understood why everyone is afraid of the 2nd entrance.
Anyone's back can be targeted here. Theo is eager to lead everyone to the monster lait. At the same, he doesn't want to bump into the hostile adventurer teams and rogue wizards.
But not long after, a poisoned arrow is shot towards Theo who is leading at the front. As the air-tearing sound was heard.
"Watch out!" Phill shouted all of a sudden.
Theo smirked before releasing the coercion. The arrow was shredded into pieces.
"Don't worry, it's a level-3 sc@m," Theo said in a calm tone.
Hearing that everyone sighed in relief. And it was true, not far away from here. A wizard wearing hoarse clothes starts fleeing in fear. His usual targets were amateur teams. But then he kicked an iron plate this time.
