Chapter 124 Oras

Transportation to Oras was the next hurdle. The city was several days' journey from his current location, and he needed to choose the best mode of travel. Public transport was too risky, as it would expose him to potential scrutiny. Instead, Lucifer opted to hire a private carriage. He found a reputable carriage master known for his discretion and paid him handsomely for a swift and silent journey.

As the preparations came together, Lucifer reflected on his plan. He knew that approaching the count directly would be suicidal; instead, he needed to gather intelligence from within Oras itself. He decided to pose as a traveling scholar, a guise that would allow him to move freely and ask questions without arousing suspicion.
