Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 983: Part 1: Book Collector

From MC's Perspective:

Black Market,

The old man and woman agreed to my deal. Seeing that I sighed in my heart. Though 150 Mid Grade Stones seems a bit excessive. But the books can't be bought elsewhere without showing identity.

"Alright, how should I take it?" I asked.

"Don't worry, I will collect these books in storage bracelets right away. You can wait here," After saying that the old woman started her work.

I nodded at her before finding the chair to sit down on. While she was on her task. I began to ponder about the next course of action.

In order to lay low and gain experience here. I should find a suitable place. Which is not as weird as the border town. Atleast, there should be some neutral force.

So you can be worry free of everyday killing.

"Wait for the old woman to finish her task. I can ask her about it," I said in my heart.

A few minutes later,

The old woman finished collecting books in 5 Storage Bracelets. The Quantity of these books is more than 3000. Even the old woman herself didn't read it all.

"Guest, this is your book," The old woman said.

I received the storage bracelets from her. Then I asked to check anyone outside. The old woman went away. The next second, I placed the 5 Storage Bracelet in the system space.

Shortly after,

"Guest, there is no one outside," the old woman asked. She thought that the guest had encountered some trouble outside.

"Good, I need you to do one last thing."

"Can you tell me about the structure of forces in the Lawless Country. Because I need a stable place to stay for some time," I asked the old woman.

The old woman hesitated. Usually these topics are not discussed openly. Especially to the foreigners. A certain amount of price needs to be paid.

"One Mid Grade Mana Stone for your information," I said to her. I know this information is not easy to understand. Adventurers, rogue wizards and other lone wizards may not know about this information.

My good chance to collect information from this old woman.

When 1 Mid Grade Mana Stone was offered. The old woman's eyes lit.

"3 Mid Grade Mana Stones," She uttered.

Hearing that my mouth twitched. Then I gave 3 Mid Grade Mana Stones to her.

The old woman hurriedly stuffed the mana stones in her pocket. She then closed the entrance of the stall. After she picked up another chair and sat on it facing opposite to me.

"Since you are a valuable customer of mine. I will tell you the information including the secret one," She said.

I felt happy this is what I wanted.

"The Lawless Country is not what it used to be decades ago. Many native forces were destroyed. Because of the foreign infiltration."

"The forces from the foreign countries have caused disturbances here starting from creating law and order situations. Then killing and plunder became normal."

"Finally, the foreign forces started to target local forces. Creating a huge rift between local forces and making them attack each other and fight until death."

"It was a decade long project. All because of some rare magic resources in this land. These rare magic resources are useful to a particular stream of Evil Magic System."

"For these resources they have destroyed local forces and established their own forces. Now there is a sign of local forces. The Survivors went into hiding,"  She said.

Hearing that my heart becomes heavy. I never expected the recent past to be this bloody.

Anyway, it's not important to me. Then I continued to listen.

"The Current Forces are as follows: 1. The Amy Palace, it's like an academy organization. But they recruit only special wizards. The Wizards who are proficient and awakened Night System Magic. They join this Amy Palace. The Lord of the Amy Palace is said to be the Magic Lord."

"The Amy Palace also recruits foreign Wizards Seeds. Especially the families in those countries which don't have Night System Magic Resources. They sent their children to the Amy Palace."

"2. Shadow Skull, it's an Assassin Organisation. They do the dirty jobs. Because of the killing task, the members they have recruited are all strong. Their Leader is said to be the Magic Lord as well. But no one has seen them personally so far."

"This Shadow Skull Organisation not only accepts local tasks. But I also do foreign jobs as well. So many foreign forces come to Shadow Skull Strong hold to place a task," After saying that she gave a pause so that guests can digest the information.

The other hand, my back went cold. I don't know why the name of the Shadow Skull rings alarm bells.

"They are doing foreign killing tasks," I said in my heart. They seemed to be more dangerous than the Dark League.

I have never heard of the Dark League doing the foreign killing mission. Their primary goal is to weaken the 3 academies in the Capital City.

But the Shadow Skull seems to be the real killing organization. When it comes to the Amy Palace.

I looked at the old woman and asked,"What about this Amy Palace?"

"Is it a White Faction or Black Faction?"

The old woman smiled before saying,"Since they are trading on the Dark Magic System, they can't be called White Faction. But they are not mindless Black Faction either."

"The Amy Palace can be said to be the neutral force. They do have orthodox magic teaching for the dark system," She added.

Hearing that a look of understanding dawned on me. It's difficult to get mental methods for the night system. There are especially different types of magic in the night system.

Even in my own academy it may be difficult to get mental methods for that.

No wonder people from foreign places are choosing the Amy Palace. If the Amy Palace is near, it's not bad to live in their city.

It's just I have to be careful of the Shadow Skull.
