Chapter 1470: The Help Arrives
Alterra tended to have several plans when handling sensitive and large movements. Causing another—older town—some big trouble without damaging themselves definitely counted as sensitive movement.
At this time, Rowan and Silvia had gone back to the inn after a whole day of ’planting’.
By ’planting’, this meant to spread more news about the virus as well as its supposed incubation period. Basically, calculating when the news would reach the Lord here, he should rush to get rid of the slaves within the next day.
They also handed Misha another bar of soap to exacerbate the symptoms to match their narrative.
"We have now done our parts," Silvia said, resting her head on Rowan’s shoulder. "Do you think that person arrived already?"

For this task, a certain Otto was enlisted. He was wearing a bit of a disguise this time. His hair was still dyed dark red, and he was wearing customized specs (really good quality, handcrafted by Glassmaster Ricky himself).
His clothing was also a bit more colorful, showing off that he was rich and careless, but also had a good position of power. Basically, he appeared to be the best customer a merchant could ask for.
It was a very different picture from his usual image, but he was still very handsome. A lot of women swooned when they saw him before he left, and there was no doubt that many fantasies would float around it.
He used several beast carts and changed up the carriages as well as removed the emblems there, taking away any indication of where he was from. They were mostly empty, but he was coming to Voumi with the premise of buying slaves, so there shouldn’t be much concern about it.
When he arrived, he had encountered some beast carts heading out, and he couldn’t help but ask around to make his arrival appear less planned and a bit hurried. Of course, he kept in character, which wasn’t really difficult for him because the identity was still a rich person who could buy a lot of things.
As for whether the Lord would see his name there, he could, but they naturally had a workaround.
