Chapter 146 - Dragons Roar (1/2)

After a few days had passed, it was finally the day where Ray would go out of the city. Ray was confident in Slyvia's and Von's plan. If they hadn't come up with something like this, Ray had planned to use his transform skill to disguise himself as someone else.

The only problem with this was currently the city was on high alert. The city was monitoring every single person that came in and out of the city. So even if Ray disguised himself as a merchant, he would need all sorts of ID to pull it off and even knights weren't currently allowed outside the city unless they went out for a mission.

Ray woke up early that day and prepared all the things that he would need. He double-checked his endless void and made sure everything was inside there. He went to his training, as usual, to not arouse suspicion but this time once training had finished, he was to meet Slyvia and Von at the merchants centre in the city.

The merchants centre was a big giant warehouse, where merchants would come and drop off supplies in exchange for coin. The knights working there were mainly Red sashes who had been given an extra job. Inside the merchant centre, there were specific bays for each merchant, some were small and some were big depending on how wealthy the merchant was.

Currently standing outside one of the bigger bay's was Von and a fat merchant named Billy. Ray had Just arrived and Von gave a brief introduction to Billy.

”Can we trust him?” Ray asked Von.

”Huh, don't worry about that, me and Billy go way back, you can trust him as much as you trust me.”

Before Ray would have even been suspicious to trust Von but now that Von had joined the Red wings Ray had more confidence in him. Ray nodded and proceeded to get into the back of the carriage.

Inside the carriage, there were several boxes that contained weapons inside.

One of the boxers were bigger than the others and that was what Ray would hide in.

Ray was now safely tucked into the box near the back of the carriage. He could feel the bumps and the carriage moving about. If it wasn't for his Dragon eyes skill, Ray wouldn't have a clue where they were but he could see the carriage moving through the city.

Finally, they had arrived at the city gate. One of the knights on guard went into the back of the cavern but didn't actually check any of the boxes like he was supposed to. He stood in the back of the carriage for a few minutes, before leaving and giving the okay to Billy.

Von beforehand had made sure that the guard who was on duty was one of his own men and told him of the situation. Von had many loyal knights around the city that would do whatever he asked over the other elders. Ray seeing the connections that Von had, it gave Ray an idea.

When he came back from his trip, he could call a meeting between all of the Red wing members and grant them permission to invite others. At the end of the day, it didn't matter if Ray knew them or not. The contract would force them to be loyal.

The carriage continued to travel for a while until they had finally reached a path in the centre of a forest, far away from the eyes of the city.

”You can come out now!” Billy shouted.

Ray quickly left the carriage and went to thank the man.

”Are you sure you don't want me to take you anywhere specific?” Billy asked.
