Hiding the Logistics Center in the Apocalypse Episode 173
Jangdok (2)
“So where did you hide it?”
It felt like I had hit a milestone.
The endlessly returning questions of wizards.
Adriel felt like his head was going to explode.
“We don’t know either. What can we do if it suddenly disappears?”
“Ah… I see. Then why did Master Roberto’s body disappear as soon as Piren was captured?”
"under······"
Timing was the issue.
The moment the angels used their trap, the Bone Dragon disappeared without a trace.
Unfortunately, the Arcane wizards witnessed all of this, so Adriel was left with little to offer as an explanation.
“You wouldn’t believe me if I said that I was trying to safely transfer the body to Arcane… right?”
“···Are you saying that?”
Adriel's annoyance reached the tip of his head.
Even without that, he was already facing all sorts of charges due to his failed business on Earth, and the problem of Roberto's body, which he could not resolve, was dragging on for a long time.
Not only on the Sky Island where I returned, but also ever since I arrived here in Florence.
“I don’t understand why you keep your mouth shut. It seems that in Florence, they don’t even talk to a wizard of that level.”
“Oh, no, that’s not possible.”
Adriel was unable to respond to Franco's sarcasm, the Arcane Wizard.
They were none other than the space thugs, Arcane.
“Then please answer properly. Before I request the red wizard to be dispatched to the Magic Tower.”
Blue, red, yellow.
That was the rank given to Arcane wizards.
Although he was of the third rank, no one in the multidimensional world could look down on a blue-class wizard.
A force that can easily destroy a lower dimension with one's own strength.
That's what that blue tie symbolized.
“So, we at Florence will actively cooperate in finding Roberto’s body···”
“Cooperation? Is this cooperation?”
Franco was an elite wizard on the verge of promotion to Red, and he was not above showing his respect to Roberto, the Yellow Wizard of Arcane.
Because in his lifetime, he was a yellow-class magician who used freezing magic.
“Don’t you know, Florence? How big of a deal this is.”
“······”
There was nothing left to say in reply.
At that time, Adriel's mouth was getting dry…
“Mr. Franco!”
Salvation flew to him.
Because the wizard who was tracking Roberto's signal brought us news.
But as soon as they heard the material, Franco and even Adriel couldn't help but tilt their heads.
Roberto's body was lying in a truly unexpected place.
“Economic prison camp···?”
***
The Arcane Wizards have appeared.
A unique look with a blue tie over a pure white robe.
The guys pushed back the guards and carefully examined Roberto's bones embedded in the ground.
And not long after···
“It is definitely Roberto’s.”
I confirmed its identity.
The wizards naturally turned their gaze to the camp.
Roberto's body disappeared, leaving behind only one piece.
The only place the rest could be was the concentration camp.
The blonde curly-haired wizard demanded of the guards,
“Please open it. I need to check inside.”
“No. You appear to be an Arcane wizard… I know you are a noble, but no one is allowed inside the camp without permission.”
The guards were resolute.
This camp was where the most vicious economic criminals were imprisoned.
But the wizards did not listen and just strode towards the firmly closed main gate.
“Please step aside, wizard. This camp is run by the rules of the Chamber of Commerce. If you need anything, you must formally request it from the Chamber…”
“It’s a rule···”
The wizard muttered the guard's words and reached out towards Roberto's bones.
Kukuku···
Then, Roberto's bones, which had been stuck in the ground, shook, and soon rose high into the sky at the gesture of his hand.
Telekinesis to lift large objects.
It seemed that this blue wizard's specialty was something like this.
'···What are you trying to do?'
At first I couldn't figure out why the bone was being lifted.

However, the wizard simply lifted the bone delicately and carefully, as if to remind the viewer that it was the body of a noble noble.
As if to protect the bones from any possible shock.
“Then let me formally request your admission. I am Franco, a blue-class Arcane wizard.”
“Just a moment, Wizard. Is permission that simple…”
The guard's words did not end.
Other wizards suddenly rushed to the front gate.
As if they could no longer bear it, the guards blocked the wizards' path…
Kwaaaaaaaah!
A huge explosion instantly silenced all the commotion so far.
“Uh, crazy······”
The guards looked dumbfounded.
The Arcane wizards fired their magic and pierced through the main gate.
“Well then, excuse me.”
The wizard Franco walked leisurely through the wide open main gate, leading his men, without paying attention to the guards' reactions.
Woohoo···
His telekinesis was still in effect.
Roberto's bones naturally moved along with us, allowing us to see inside the camp via satellite observations.
chuck!
Franco stopped walking and looked around.
“Find it.”
“Yes, Mr. Franco.”
The wizards scattered in unison.
Then they started searching all over the camp for Roberto's body.
Looking at the Arcane wizards who were more reckless than I could have imagined, I asked Aurel.
“Is that okay···?”
“I think they are moving while keeping a close eye on the line. Even if something happens at the camp… they are confident that they can handle it within their own lines.”
It was a top-level piece of shit.
As if they didn't know this, the guards seemed to be reluctant but obediently giving way to the wizards who were destroying the camp.
one side···
“Where should I look···”
We were also watching the observation monitor closely.
While Arcane was searching for Roberto's body, he had to find Buendia's location.
I checked the location of the prison cell where the prisoners were locked up, but…
“What should I show you···”
There were only a few small windows open, making it impossible to tell which room Buendia was locked in.
Because the wizards are lined up, it is difficult to even get out of the portal.
When you are having such a hard time exploring…
“······That?”
I found a little rat.
An undead made of bones rather than living things.
The boy passed through the corner of the vacant lot, climbed up the wall of the cell, and slipped through one of the windows.
I immediately called Pax.
I asked if I could send a message using the branch system…
Tiring!
[It is possible because it is within the region.]
Pax answered positively.
I went straight to consult with Aurel.
I had to use this message to get Buendia out.
“What should I send?”
“I think it would be a good idea to use Marquez’s maxim, because if it were to be passed on to someone else, it could be dangerous.”
It was just as Aureol said.
For now, there was no way to know if the person locked in that cell was Buendia, another inmate, or even an Arcane wizard searching for bones.
“If it weren’t for Buendia…”
What if the person receiving the message was a guard or an arcane wizard?
The plan to rescue Buendia could have suffered a serious setback.
In the end, what Aureol recommended to me was…
Tiring!
[Web transmission]
[Life is short, but history is long]
It was a line of proverb passed down to Marquez.
If Buendia knew what it meant, he would react to us somehow.
As soon as he confirmed his location, he planned to use his subspace abilities to rescue Buendia.
But then···
[Who are you?]
“······??”
To my surprise, the reply came through the message window.
Buendia was not given the means to transmit his message as we were.
Yet, as if he were holding a smartphone, he started sending us messages one after another.
[I traced the message back. It wasn't that difficult.]
[I think he was trying to see my reaction since he wrote down Marquez's maxims…]
[By the way, how on earth is it hiding in that bone?]
“What is this guy doing?”
It was a series of surprises.
Buendia not only delivered the message to us on his own,
Because he immediately figured out that we were hiding in a portal installed in the bone.
The story has gotten a lot faster.
I told him that I was working with Marques's black magician, Aurel, and that we had infiltrated this camp to extract you, Buendia.
Then he explained to me how to rescue him from the middle of this concentration camp.
Tiring!
[Web transmission]
[I'm going to break the bars. Get as far away from the window as possible.]
[Then he will throw another long object. Wait and catch it.]
The method was simple.
After piercing the space, the weapon is ejected into the room.
Then, he quickly sucked in Buendia, who was holding the item, with <Product Recovery>.
[me···?]
Buendia couldn't hide his surprise at hearing that they had come to save him…
[I don't think that's a good idea.]
[I'm sorry, but I won't be of much help. Because···]
It wasn't just the iron bars that confined him.
Buendia explained that he had been imprinted with a magical tool like chains, and that he could not properly use his abilities until he destroyed it.
Also, since they can be tracked at any time, there is no point in escaping.
“Even if it happens right now···”
It was a useless task.
It became impossible to fix the awakening system or give him back his freedom.
When I was feeling so troubled···
[Fermentation and black magic have one thing in common.]
[If you keep it locked up for a long time… it will eventually explode with a bang.]
Buendia's words continued steadily.
[There is a hidden room in this prison cell.]
[This is where the magic tools are installed… It's completely overloaded to suppress the abilities of our inmates. To what extent…]
[Click, just opening the door made it explode with a 'bang'.]
The magic tool was the key to controlling the prisoners here.
As it is the most important place, it has not been opened even once in the past several decades.
[Just open the door.]
[Just with that alone… everything that's been going on will burst out at once.]
[And there are a lot of people in this camp who are more interesting than me.]
[They are all so rotten that they are almost fermented.]
Buendia's request was simple.
Open the secret room and completely detonate the overloaded magic tool.
If that happened, not only Buendia, but all the prisoners in the prison ward would regain their former strength.
[Is that possible? I'll tell you the location.]
"that···"
Unfortunately, that wasn't possible.
Because now we are stuck here on the bone.
but···
“We don’t necessarily have to do it.”
This time it was Arcane again.
Soon, another bone of Roberto will be lying in front of the room with the magic tools.
I was planning to deliver the items secretly through tracking and delivery, avoiding the wizards' eyes.
I placed an order too.
“Do it.”
Like a wizard.
