BXBX NOVEL Chapter 74 Mana Train
Standing in front of a full body view mirror, Zick looked at himself.
He wore a brown jacket upon the white shirt which made him look a lot more like a noble than before. He had black pants along with black shoes.
After fixing his collars and hair, Zick walked out of his room. It was still noon but he decided to go out early as it was getting boring.
In the past year, Zick had already created numerous magics. Without any inspiration, it would be hard for him to come up with any new magic now.
Regret started filling Zick, ' I would have concentrated on my studies more if I knew this....'
Zick had focused on writing his novel more than studies in his past life. He had long forgotten most of the things that he learnt in his science classes too.
' Reading so many novels has helped me somewhat at least.'
Zick had created many magics inspired by the Novels from Earth. He felt relieved with his current strength. Unless someone with grandmaster level strength doesn't appear he was confident in defeating them.
Zick was also a little confident in running away from any enemy he couldn't defeat.
Though he felt at ease with his current strength, Zick still felt anxiety rising within his heart. His physical strength will not see any major improvement for a while.
Zick could only improve in the mage profession and find an alternative to increase his battle strength for now.
'Enchantment.'
That was the alternative he found in the past few months to increase his battle strength. Zick knew the capability of enchantment through the novel but he didn't know how to perform it as it was not explained in the novel.
Zick couldn't learn how to perform enchantment till now because enchantment is a very rare profession . He couldn't find someone to teach it to him and neither was there any book explaining about it.
Only a few mages choose it as their profession.
It was already a tough requirement to become a mage but to become an enchanter even more talent is needed. And not only talent was needed, an astronomical amount of money must be spent to buy materials.
Zick fulfilled all this requirement luckily.
Walking down the stairs, Zick could feel the presence of Butler Von nearby.
Arriving on the ground floor, Zick could see Butler Von walking towards him with a flower vase in his hand.
Bowing towards Zick, Butler Von answered "Yes."
Zick started heading towards the door, checking his space ring continuously.
'I should buy a better space ring now that I am in the academic city.'
Zick's current space ring was fully filled with the cyclops corpses. He wasn't worried about money at all, he has a lot of it now.
CLICK~
Opening the door which looked to be crafted by someone skilled, Zick stepped out of his mansion. He started walking towards the gate where two guards stood.
When Zick reached near the gate, the guards opened it without saying a word.
"Where is the nearest mana train?" Zick questioned one of the guards.
"A mana train station would appear if you turned right from here and then walked straight, sir." The guard spoke very respectfully and didn't stutter like the prior knight.
Zick looked at the place the guard pointed and started walking towards it. There were still many people and caravans passing through the streets making it lively.
Just like the guard instructed, Zick turned right and started walking straight. There were many armoury stores and stalls in the street.
While walking Zick Found a familiar fruit among the stalls. Staring at it for a second, he headed towards it.
The stall had many kinds of fruits kept orderly on multiple carts. The stall owner was a bulky man, his face looked average. Seeing Zick walking towards his stall, the owner smiled and started speaking.
"What would you want to buy young sir?" The stall owner spoke politely looking at Zick's noble attire.
"Give me this fruit for a silver coin."
Hearing Zick's plain voice, the owner looked at the fruit which was pointed by Zick, a fruit looking like an apple entered his sight.
"Ohh you mean Ganjes? Please wait a second." The stall owner took out a paper bag and started putting the Ganjes into it.
Taking the fruit bag, Zick took one of it and put the rest of ut within his space ring. He took out a silver coin and gave it to the stall owner.
"Please come again!" The stall owner said happily.
Eating the apple named Ganjes, Zick continued walking towards the mana train station.
'It's sweeter than the apples I ate on the earth....'
Zick reached the mana train station in a few hours. Buying a ticket to Feahert district, he waited in the station for the mana train to arrive.
Feahert district is also known as the commercial district in the academic city. Almost anything can be found there. The feahert district is also the centre of the festival right now.
Zick could only feel a few people present in the station as travelling through mana train was high-priced. He had to spent eight gold coins to get a ticket to feahert district.
Zick was going to the Feahert district for many reasons. First was to go sightseeing at the festival.
'People do really change.....I wouldn't even have thought of going around like this before....'
Zick felt the changes in him. But still it was a very minor change, he didn't feel like going on an adventure or anything similar at all.
The other reasons were to buy a space ring and anything he liked along the way.
And he also wanted to check if the plot changed or not.
'but I am not sure if today is the day mentioned in the novel.'
Zick couldn't remember everything he had read in the novel. It was mentioned that the protagonist, Aeiron, met a harem member in the next week of his stay in the city. He hadn't written about it in the diary either.
A train approached the mana train station without making a sound.
SCREECH~
There was only a screeching sound when the train stopped.
Catching the ticket in his hand, Zick walked towards the glass entrance of the mana train. There was a red light coming from beside the entrance through a crystal.
When Zick entered through the entrance, it started shining in green colour. If he had tried entering without the ticket mana barrier would have been created and siren would have started ringing calling upon the guards.
Entering the mana train, Zick sat comfortably upon one of the seats feeling a little nostalgic.
'I should try using [warp] when no one is nearby to enter sometime.'
