With Swift Spirit's assistance, Gondola detoured from Alya Duchy through the Guman Kingdom, and Angel took only one day.
After arriving at a border county of the Guman Kingdom, Abruie said, "My lord, you can let me off here. There's a White Thunder Market nearby, and it has a short-range teleportation array that leads directly to the Fas Rift. White Shell Sea Market is very close from there."
Angel said, "All Wizard Markets in the Guman Kingdom are monitored by the Guman King's people. White Thunder Market is no exception. Be careful when you go there."
Wizard Markets in other countries actually had a long-established set of rules, and trouble rarely arose. Only the markets of the Guman Kingdom had the unpredictable variable that was the Guman King, making incidents far more likely than at other markets. However, the Guman King also wanted to obtain intelligence on the major organizations through the Wizard Markets, so unless driven to the brink, he would not wipe out a market. As long as Abruie waited properly for the teleportation, nothing major should happen.
Abruie lowered her head, her cheeks faintly flushed. "Thank you for your concern, my lord. I'll definitely be very careful."
Gondola landed in a wilderness forest. Abruie climbed over the side of the boat and dropped to the ground. Just as she was about to say goodbye and leave, Angel suddenly called out to her.
"Wait."
Abruie raised her head and looked at Angel in confusion. Angel pondered for a moment, then slowly lifted a fingertip, where a faint glimmer flickered.
Before Abruie could react, the glimmer from Angel's fingertip shot into the center of her brow.
Abruie had long heard that some wizards were temperamental and capricious, killing people as casually as eating and drinking, with no bottom line
