Crystal City
The red smoke went from one shop to another, collecting valuable information. However, most of the shops were visited by locals who had not been exposed to high-level intel.
The zero puppet then entered the buildings of the various wizard associations in the city. There were Magic Lord powerhouses guarding the places, but they failed to detect the red smoke.
Using the opportunity, the zero puppet was able to get more information. This time, the information was confidential and concrete.
The Following Day
I woke up from my sleep. After getting out of bed, I started doing my morning routine. The routine lasted for one hour.
After getting ready, I appeared in the main area of the room, eager to get a response from the zero puppet.
10 minutes later,
A stream of red smoke entered the room through the window. The red smoke appeared before me and then reverted back to its original form.
The black-clad, armored zero puppet appeared in front of me.
