Fire Mage (Web Novel)

"We should get the Explorer's License first. Then, we will search for more information about your friend." The clone Charles said in a solemn tone and continued to walk towards the skyscraper.

Meanwhile, Destiny Lady shook her head and rejected that idea.

"No. Even if we are Rank-4 Mystics, the chance of us officially sailing to the Endless Sea is very slim. The Federation won't allow any outsider to explore the sea. They'll give us some patrol-related jobs instead and restrain us here in this port." She deliberated for a moment and then added.

"Moreover, getting information about the missing person will also be a hard job."

"Hard? Why?" Confusion appeared on Charles's face.

"Of course. Most of the Mystics who went missing in the Endless Sea were not some ordinary foes. The Azure Federation is always strict about keeping the missing person's details as secrets. Even the higher officers who were working in the tall skyscraper wouldn't know much information." Destiny Lady responded in a calm tone.

On the other hand, Charles suddenly thought of something and asked.

"I've got the ability to read memories. As long as we kidnap some high-rank officials, we can get all information about that friend of yours."

"Naive. Do you really think that it will be easy to escape from the eyes of Pseudo-Legends? Don't try anything funny, Charles. There are many strange abilities out there that could easily expose your identity. Kidnapping a high-rank official would be equal to slapping on the face of the Federation. It's better to join some pirate groups and started our search slowly."

Upon hearing her words, Charles froze for a second and soon widened his eyes.

"Wouldn't that be dangerous for both of us?" He knew very well how dangerous those pirate groups were and felt troubled.

If they were in Chester City or Iron City, their strength would be more than enough to scare away the whole kingdom!

Unfortunately, the Azure Federation's strength was a whole new level!

It was one of the four Ruling Empires of this whole continent!

The Azure Federation had more than 8 Legend Rank Experts (Rank-6) and was also backed by a Mysterious Demi-God!

Although it was just a baseless rumor, Charles didn't dare to take them lightly at all.

The main reason for his wariness was mainly because of the powerhouses hiding in this Port City.

'I heard that this city has more than 10 Pseudo-Legendary powerhouses and each of them is in control of separate naval bases. All of them are called as Naval Commanders.' He couldn't help but get anxious inside.

Upon seeing his nervous face, Destiny Lady let out a chuckle and asked.

"Are you afraid that the Federation might put some bounty on your head?"

"Wouldn't they?" Charles stared into her eyes.

"Once we start working for a certain pirate group, the Federation will definitely take notice and place some bounty on us. But you don't have to worry too much about it. As long as you didn't reveal your full strength during the raids, the Federation wouldn't think of you as a threat and won't send some powerful experts to deal with the future trouble." Destiny Lady didn't hide anything and explained calmly.

Meanwhile, Charles listened to her words patiently and soon asked.

"Then, which pirate group are we going to join?"

"Joining a pirate group isn't an easy matter. But I do have some plan." She paused for a moment and soon took out a pocket watch from her space ring.

Then, she opened it, glanced at the time, and turned towards the nearby alley.

She then entered the nearby alley, moved towards the Merchants' District, and searched for something.

Although Charles couldn't understand her goals, he didn't ask any questions and patiently followed after her.

Meanwhile, Destiny Lady walked past the Merchants' Streets and soon entered a street called Runaway Street.

Just as they stepped on the street road, Charles suddenly felt multiple eyes landed on both of them.

It was as if hundreds of poisonous snakes stared at him!

Destiny Lady also noticed his stiff expression and explained to him in a slow voice.

"This street is filled with full of criminals, so don't let your guard down. Unlike other streets, this one is very dangerous. One wrong step and you would be captured in seconds and sold to the Federation as slaves. First, we should get an official identity. Although we are planning to become pirates, we still need some official identity as a cover-up."

While they were discussing, Charles and Destiny Lady walked past some bars, houses, gambling areas and soon arrived in front of a two-storied square building.

"We are going to meet a special person. Even if he acts arrogantly, do try to refute his words." Destiny Lady gave him a warning, arrived at the entrance gate, and pushed it open.

The next instant, a large hall appeared in front of their eyes.

At that moment, a total of eight rough-looking men appeared in the lobby, wore unique robes, and almost covered the reception area.

Currently, they showed their backs towards them and completely blocked the reception area.

In a second, Charles activated his [Arcane Eyes] skill and studied them silently.

'A total of 6 Rank-3 Mystics and two Rank-4 Mystics... This group is not some normal bunch... But why are they showing anxious expression on their faces?' He frowned.

Charles's gaze then swept past those rough-looking men and soon landed on an 18-years-old looking boy.

His neatly combed blonde hair fell on his shoulders, and he looked slimmer than an average young teen.

He had amber eyes, a little rough face, and looked very short.

His height was no more than 160 cm!

But what shocked him most was not his height but his strength.

He was just a Rank-3 Mystic!

"He is the special person. Don't antagonize him. This kid is a favorite toy of the Patrol Officer Richie and he could pull us into some deep troubles." Destiny Lady added.

"Who is this Richie?" Charles asked.

"He is the head of this whole Runaway Street and involves in the job distributing process. All those jobs are mainly related to smugglings." Destiny Lady's words were short.

Meanwhile, the other group finished their registration process and started walking towards the exit.

"Next." A cold voice came from the reception area.

Charles and Destiny Lady glanced at each other, nodded their heads, and moved towards the counter.

Meanwhile, the blonde-haired boy looked at them up and down and then zeroed his gaze on Charles.

After that, he took the nearby wooden quill, dripped the brush into the ink bottle, and moved it towards a brown scroll.

"Name. I want your true name." He said.

Charles subconsciously turned his gaze towards Destiny Lady as he heard the boy's voice and soon spoke.

"Charles Nightwind."
