Chapter 26: Alkem's Magic City, Aligh.
1047 Words
Arriving at Aligh. Mashura and I go to the forest before going down the Ramp... After that, I made the Rhea Absolut to go to the City... And with that, we can safely go to Aligh... We have our identification card and both of them are gold. With me being a high ranked Adventurer and Treasure Hunter. While Mashura being a Former Knight Commander and the Strongest Martial Artist.
We walk over to the Gate and immediately... The gatekeeper stop us.
"Stop! Identification please."
As expected. We pull out our Identification Card and they just get quiet. Technically, we hold more power than them because of our color in the Identification card...
"Aaah... It's really easy~"
Mashura started to walk leisurely knowing that we're inside the City of Aligh...
City of Aligh. A City consisted mostly of Magician. All the stores in Aligh has magic in them... It doesn't matter what type of Magic it is. The product is magic, or the way the product is harvested is using magic... Of course, because of that, it sold for a really high price...
"Uggh... Speaking of that... When I come back from Rhea... I try to get into the City of Engineas... And when that happens, I was stopped by the Coast guard asking for Identification Card..."
"Unn Unn... What's happening after that?"
"Back then, I come back with a Sea Dragon on that little boat. And I'm trying to sell it at the auction as fast as I can... But those coast guard suckers try to scam me by telling a law that didn't exist."
Hearing that, enrages Mashura... I mean, it's understandable why she's mad... Because she's the Commander of the Knight. Nothing of the sorts should happen by the workers that the government employed...
"Can you tell me who they are? I will execute them myself! For trying to scam you!"
"Well well! Don't worry about it. I think most nobles agrees to execute them in the prison. So the executioner should have done the deeds already."
I manage to Calm Mashura down... She grab my hand and then she guides me around Aligh. Truth be told, it's not my first time going to Aligh. But this is the first time that I get to explore Aligh.
Seems like Mashura has gone to Aligh and stays here for a bit. Because of her Knight work. I assume... You know what, let's double check it.
"How do you know most of the road and store in here Mashura?"
"Hm~ Well... I've been appointed to guard Aligh for three days because of the Stampede of Mountain Beasts."
I see... My instinct are right then... Pheew. Looks like I know Mashura better than I imagine... We continue to scramble around the places. Eating food and drinking sweet drinks... We're trying our damn hardest to let the time pass so that Night come...
I must confess though. Aligh is beautiful. The people is really nice to us and each other in general. People are going around without worries... Knights usually roam around the places so that they can make sure the safety of the city...
It impress me how better Aligh are compared to Engineas... As two Engineas Native... We hope that our dearest city will learn a thing or two from Aligh...
We also bought a map of Aligh City. It's pretty big after all. And we don't know where are where...
"So, do you want to stay at this Hotel for a night before gathering information?"
Mashura pointed at the Hotel on the center of the city. It's right in the middle of the shopping district... It's the best Hotel in this city, and also because of the location is perfect for shopping. It's also expensive...
But of course, because of that...
"Right... We can get the most privacy to talk about our plan..."
I agree with Mashura. And she smiled.
"Right? If we pick our room correctly and the floor correctly. We can directly look at the Mansion of the Nobles that take care of Aligh. You can gather information using your Drone and then if you need to destroy him as fast as possible... Gyzus can do it."
Mashura is right... She smiled softly and then I stand up... She has a point... We can absolutely do that... But of course, I won't be assassinating someone... It's just not fun...
"Let's go Mashura. Let's rest in the hotel."
"Yes~"
So we make our way straight to the Hotel immediately... The hotel is truly the epitome of Business Hotel... There's a lot of Floor... And most importantly... Almost all of it is full...
The only floor that's spared for us is the twentieth...
We pick Floor Twenty. Mashura look at me and then pointed to the left... So the West side of the Hotel is the best huh...
I look at the screen and pick the most left room I can find... And after that, I grab a couple of coins and then put it on the container... It started counting the coin that I inserted. And after that, it gives us the key...
I nodded to Mashura and she lead the way straight into the lift... We notices something really strange about the hotel... That's why we didn't talk... There's a lot of recording devices... But no camera around...
And that makes us think that this area of the hotel has been sabotaged by the Government... And if that really is the case... Than our normal plan wouldn't work... Because they're actually careful with their movement...
Anyway... We reach our room and then open the door quietly... And then enter the room... We go straight into the bathroom together and then we talk...
"Mashura..."
"Yeah... It seems like they're aware about something might be happening... It seems like it's not just us that notices their plan."
"Yeah... It's too strange that the government has made a precaution about information..."
But the question still remains inside my head. Who is this person that could be our ally? I don't know... But I don't really want to meet them... Since I don't want to take care of another person... Taking care of Mashura is enough for me...
I don't want anyone to intervene between me and her.
