After traveling through time, I want to become a magical omnipotent saint
Chapter 12 There is an Adventurer's Commune in this World
A hidden bunker beneath the city of Leonton.
"Lord Higanbana."
A young woman appeared behind the woman. The woman was not sleepy and was carefully analyzing several intelligence documents on her desk.
Under the light of kerosene lamps, the intelligence from various channels was long-winded and there was nothing worth examining in detail.
"It's so late, what's wrong?"
The room was so quiet that you could clearly hear the sound of every gear turning in the clock.
"Yes... Not long ago, Iris No. 28, who was assigned to the Silent Forest to monitor the Bailina Vineyard, just died suddenly. At the same time, Dark Flower No. 12 also died suddenly. The candles that burned their lives were extinguished at the same time..."
The gorgeously dressed woman waited for a moment and replied calmly, "I see. Doesn't the Bailina family have an eldest daughter who has awakened magic? I heard the day before yesterday that she awakened lightning magic and even killed four primary monsters above her level. Could it be that Bailina is hiding some secrets..."
"Send other people to the Silent Forest immediately. Don't miss any action of the Bailina Vineyard. Warn them not to show their faces..."
The maid didn't understand and asked, "Why does the organization attach so much importance to a wine-making estate?"
Higanbana responded, "Every time there is a festival in the Averato Palace, Leonton's wine is needed, which means that most of the nobles will go to the palace together in the near future. This is also the time when the Flower of Sin has a chance to act. As soon as their wine transport convoy moves, we can make full preparations at the first time. Therefore, this place is an important node in our surveillance system. Those two idiots deserve to die. You don't need to sympathize with them."
The maid nodded in sudden realization and said, "We have sent someone there as soon as possible. Maybe they can find the murderer and try to eliminate the possibility of being discovered by the 'All-Seeing Eye'."
Higanbana picked up dozens of intelligence documents on the table and put them into a black bag.
"The intelligence team of the Oberic Empire is a bunch of good-for-nothings. They still have the nerve to call themselves the 'Almighty Eyes'. You are quite efficient. If it is really them who did it..."
Higanbana picked up a pipe, snapped her fingers, and flames came out of the pipe... She took a deep breath and blew out smoke rings.
"…We'll take care of them in the Silent Forest."
The next morning, Isabella was awakened by Charlie.
"Miss Isabella, you've been getting up very late recently. Did you not sleep well at night?"
Isabella rubbed her eyes and said lazily, "Maybe I'm just too tired lately. It's probably not time to practice swordsmanship yet, right?"
Richard took out his pocket watch, took a look at it, and said, "There are still ten minutes left. If you can't get up, Mr. Baileyna will criticize you severely!"
"During breakfast time just now, I called Miss Isabella several times. She was very sleepy..."
After Charlie's nagging for a while, Isabella had no choice but to obey and start her daily sword practice.
But today was different from usual. His father was injured and was sitting on the threshold of the backyard, watching Isabella and Kokoro practice swordsmanship.
But Heloda's face was dull and his empty eyes were staring at the distant sky.
Isabella only noticed something was wrong with her father after the sword practice was over.
"Father, why are you so absent-minded today?" Isabella asked.
"Nothing, I just feel a little sad. It's hard for my current strength to improve. In the near future, you will definitely surpass me."
Heloda pinched Isabella's fair face and said calmly, "You can stop here today. As for swordsmanship... it's just for you to train your body. As long as you enter the school, Isabella will soon become a magician. Practicing swordsmanship is just icing on the cake. It's rare for a magician to come out of the Bailina family, so there's no need to focus on swordsmanship."
Butler Charlie appeared behind Heroda.
"Mr. Baileyna, we have received an invitation to Count Imin Jialai's birthday party," Charlie handed over a piece of blue cardboard. "The time is 17:00 p.m. five days later, and the venue is Count Jialai's mansion. It is suggested that we need to arrive five or six hours earlier."
Heloda glanced at the invitation letter, confirmed it again and again, and nodded.
"Earl Jialai has always liked grand celebrations. Our family should prepare some gifts. What should we give?" Heloda walked back to the mansion and looked around.
My family is usually frugal and doesn't buy luxury goods.
Heloda couldn't think of anything to give, so he ordered: "How about this...Charlie, take 300 silver coins and go to Leonton to find a magic stone or handicraft that looks luxurious. Bring Isabella and Kokoro with you. Anyway, you are free at home in the afternoon, and I need to go to the parade ground after lunch to count the casualties..."
After lunch, Charlie led out the white horse from the stable, tied it up, released water element magic, and cleaned the dusty carriage.
Under Charlie's control, countless water droplets were like jumping beans. In two minutes, he cleaned the whole house inside and out. With another wave of his hand, the dirty water in the gaps of the cotton pad was accurately absorbed into the bucket on the left.
Isabella prepared twenty silver coins in the room and inadvertently watched Charlie's skillful control of the water element.
I kept analyzing how he did it in my mind. Every drop of water seemed like a living thing...
In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly. Bailina's carriage drove into the city of Leonton and stopped at the stable barn of the Adventurer's Commune.
In the memory of Isabella's original owner, she had been to Leonton City many times, but in her memory, she was always in a luxurious manor, and it was very rare for her to go out shopping like today.
The first floor lobby of the Adventurer's Commune.
Kokoro kept holding on to the corner of Charlie's tuxedo.
Isabella was surprised: there actually was an adventurer's commune in this world.
The two followed Charlie's side. The hall was very large and could accommodate three to four hundred people. The marble floor tiles reflected the light of the hall's glass curtain wall, making it feel like they were in a sacred church.
Charlie came to a reception window.
"Long time no see, Mr. Charlie Bo Guston," the lady at the front desk greeted him and asked, "Are you here to take a commission this time?"
The height of the front desk was very high, even taller than Isabella, and the receptionist couldn't see at all that Charlie was here with a baby.
"No, I want to inquire about the recent black market to see if there are any drops from monsters like dragons..."
"Last week, a team of adventurers killed a high-level dragon, and some of its claws flowed into the market..."
After talking for a few minutes, Charlie left satisfied.
"Miss Isabella, you may not know this," Charlie said calmly, "The Earl of Jialai started his fortune as a magic warrior. Based on my understanding of him, the most suitable gift is the materials of high-level monsters."
Before leaving the Adventurer's Commune, Isabella, with her keen hearing, heard many junior adventurers whispering about her. They were all civilians, and their equipment was made of monster leather armor. Their weapons and magic tools were also made of intermediate monster materials.
"Look! That's Miss Isabella from the Bailina family! It's rare to see her. Not long ago, I heard that the magic warriors in the training ground announced that Miss Isabella killed four primary demonized gray wolves with lightning magic."
"...I've heard about this before. Who would believe what a noble like this says?"
"Even if it's a demonized gray wolf, three beginner magic sorcerers may not be able to defeat it!"
"You're talking nonsense! When I was young, I was eliminated by a junior demonized gray wolf in the third round of assessment at Briffin College! Four of us failed to win, and one girl was such a jerk that she jumped out of the red circle out of fear."
"Alas, nobles just love to save face, and they dare to say anything..."
After leaving the Adventurer's Commune, Isabella realized that these civilians had no confidence in her abilities. At least she had heard that the third round of the Briffin Academy exam was for four people to confront a primary monster, and they were not allowed to leave the circle...
When they came to the street, Kokoro was as well-behaved as a silent and shy puppy, always following behind Charlie.
Isabella didn't know what to say. She kept her head down and thought about many things worth trying.
Soon, Charlie came to a hidden alley intersection...
"We've arrived at the black market in Levonton. There's a cafe nearby, owned by an old friend of mine. You guys go to the cafe and wait for a while. I'll be out soon..."
Charlie held the hands of the two children and walked to the coffee shop across the street. He greeted his old friend and told him: "I hope you can help me take good care of Mr. Bailina's two daughters..."
"Especially Isabella."
The red-haired middle-aged man with a deep scar on his right cheek wiped the coffee cup and said, "Go ahead without worry. The door of the cafe can only be opened by magicians with elementary level or above."
Kokoro was reluctant and terrified, hugging Charlie's thigh...
Isabella sighed deeply...
