Chapter 5 - Smuggling (Part 2)

Two soldiers came out of the building anonymously.

As they were walking down an alley, the brown-haired man couldn't help but ask that blonde, "What the hell is this place?!"

The blond replied, "This place is one of the black spots in this city, leader Carlos allowed it to exist for his own benefit. Because a leader, a respected person, cannot rob, assassinate, kill the weak, and smuggle…" He sighed, "Anyway, it's none of your business, rookie."

The brown-haired face showed shock at the blond's saying, "So then, I didn't expect something like this to exist in this city."

"For me it is expected or certain of their existence. No place is prosperous without their presence in it. It is impossible to eradicate them. They are like dirt and dust." The blond mocked him.

Inside the anonymous building.

A person with a scar on his face was sitting at his desk, playing with a knife while in deep thought.

'who are they?  I couldn't tell because of their normal clothes. They appeared very strong, especially the blond hair. He had a very good physique.'

'I suspect if I ever got into a fight with him I would never be healthy, there would be a lot of broken bones because of him and it really hurts.'

He looked toward a door, as if to see behind him, 'What about this guy?'

'This muscular man, can he stand up to that blond? I don't think so, even though he had released his mana, there wasn't anything to show that he was afraid of him, he just kept a serious face.'

He sighed and continued to think, 'I think he was relying on his ability. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out his ability. My ability {vision} allows me to see behind things and learn about a lot of information about a person. Like the kind of ability.'

'I possess a D-rank {Vision} ability that allows me to see G to D abilities. I can only use rank 1 to 4 skills.'

Abilities ranks G,F,E,D,C,B,A. Skill ranks range from 1 to 7. According to this, since I couldn't figure out his ability, his ability is either B or A rank.'

'I'm crazy, thinking that I can defeat him just by using [Hidden Dagger Art], rank 4 skill.'

"Ahhhh… never mind [Seeing Behind Objects].' After he finished imagining it, he used the rank 3 skill [Seeing Behind Objects] to look inside the bag lying on the ground.

"It looks like they're hiding a human being in a bag. But who is it?" When he looked at that person's face, he seemed to know him, but he couldn't remember him. He went to open the letter the blond man had given him.

After he read it, his facial expression changed to show panic and a few drops of sweat on his forehead.

He put the letter on a desk and wiped his sweat with his hand, thinking 'I survived, this time it was too dangerous. Who would have expected them to be one of Leader Carlos' soldiers. First Leader in the Field family.'

Scarred did not dare to suspect them of using Leader Carlos' name. Nobody dares to do that.

A man with a scar stood up to go to a certain place in the wooden walls of the building. He started touching the wall with his hand, as if he was searching for something in it. It was a button thing that he pressed, opened a passage for him and entered it.

After a while he came back with two people behind him and said, "Listen well, I don't want to die and neither do you. So pay attention to this sample. I want you to deliver it to the place I told you about without any accidents."

When they heard his words, one of them started to swallow his saliva and the other had some fear on his face. The reason is that he told them in some detail before he brought them here.

After listening to his warning, they went and carried Nait to the path in the wall.

They carried him until they came to a cart full of bags of wheat, and put him between them.

Thus, the cart began moving towards the entrance to the city of Midnight.

When they reached the entrance, the gate guard did not stop them.

And so, Nait, who's back in town, slips out of it again, without knowing it. Fate one knows if he will return to this city or not.

***

After hours of running the horses and moving the cart. Finally another city appeared in their corner of view.

This city is famous for being the city that borders two kingdoms, and for the abundance of trade between them.

So that goods carts enter between the borders of these two kingdoms without a large customs tax.

These two kingdoms were known to be calm towards each other without mutual wars between them. They also knew the great connection between them. When there are many marriage contracts between them the inhabitants of these two kingdoms.

It came to the point that the prince of the kingdom in which Nait resides married the princess of that kingdom.

To this moment, their descendants still rule this kingdom.

After a while, they reached the entrance to the city and its queue, waiting for their turn.

It was their turn, the guard came to them and asked them some questions after checking the special goods, as one of them opened to check the quality of the wheat grains, and he did not finish that, and seemed to open many of them.  Fortunately for them, it did not reach the role of the wheat sack in which Nait was.

"Where did these goods come from?" said the guard.

Someone replied, "From this kingdom."

When the guard heard him, he said, "So you don't need to pay the full tax. You will get a 50% reduction in the tax. If these goods were from another kingdom, you would have paid the full tax." When he finished speaking, he showed his hand and said, "Come on, take out the tax and hurry in. I have a long line."

Then someone paid the tax and they got into city without incident.
