Chapter 67: Infiltration
A horse and a chariot were quickly assembled when Voros walked in the mew and came out pulling. As Vivian was done tying the man up, she looked at her vehicle and admired Voros’ style.
A formidable black stallion, reminiscent of the grim reaper’s steed, stood ready. In contrast, the chariot was small and nimble, accommodating a coachman and two passengers. Voros had meticulously removed any identifying marks from the chariot. With all the preparations made, the only task left was to...
"Ride in!" "Name it!"
Voros and Vivian looked at each other with conflicting interests. The dynamic shadowy duo had their first conflict right after succeeding in their operation.
"Hurry!" Voros said.
"Wait... the ViMobile... No, the Hawk Mobile... dammit! Very cringe!" Vivian struggled to find a good name before giving up in frustration and jumping in the passenger seat.
Voros immediately drove the chariot out, opened the gate, and moved out to the street like the swift fleeting shadows. With the speed of the horse and the perfect senses of the duergar in the night, the chariot moved unhindered in the wide streets of the rich posh area of Archester. Not a few minutes passed before it was driving beside the bank of the Great Ralin river.
The destination was north of town to the poor areas of the city, the place where Vivian and Voros first met, the Blackguard Slave Market, or the Black Market for short.
Vivian had the route memorized as it is the route that leads to the outskirts of Archester to the industrial area where the Moore Headquarters is located. Voros followed the direction of Vivian through the alien and complex city and finally arrived at a place where the rotten air that he had been familiar with for fourteen years became familiar all over again.
Fourteen years later, the dwarf looked up at the great towers of the fort-like building as he saw them from outside for the third time now. The first time was fourteen years back and the second was almost two weeks ago.
"Chief." He turned to Vivian and waited for her instructions as he understood how capable she was.
