Placing the piece of paper with the coordinates within the space ring, Zick got off the comfortable sofa and moved towards the ground floor. He had already seen all the places in the mansion on his first day here.
There were only a few places he could think of carrying out his experiments. He could do it in room but he didn't want to stay in a place filled with the smell of blood.
There wasn't anything to worry about dirtying a thing, as there was magic in this world. Using that, Zick could easily keep his room clean. But he still didn't feel like doing it there.
The other places were either the basement or the store house behind the mansion. From this both, Zick chose the basement.
The store house would be needed for the servants to keep the food ingredients and other things.
Zick reached the butler who was in the backyard, taking care of the plants and trees.
Seeing Zick walking towards him, Butler Von bowed his head. He was still wearing butler's clothes, with his blonde hair combed properly.
"I will be using the basement from now on, tell everyone to not enter there no matter what the reason is." Zick's expression was indifferent but his voice was very strict, filled with solemnness.
''Yes." Butler Von's answered back seriously.
Zick nodded his head before going back to the mansion. He liked how Butler Von always responded to him. No questions asked, only faithfully following his order.
'I need to still create a barrier in the basement in case someone infiltrates it while I am not present in the mansion.'
Zick went towards the basement's entrance, which was right in the middle of the mansion, Beside the dining hall and the main hall.
The entrance of the basement was a wooden door like any other in the whole manor.

Zick opened the door, turning its knob round. Unlike what he expected, there were wall lamps even in the basement, so it wasn't dark at all. All the lamps in the mansion were the same, shaped like a lotus budding.
Zick slowly descended through the marble stairs, even the walls and ceiling had smooth surfaces.
Reaching the basement, it was made of concrete instead of marbles. Surprisingly the basement was bigger than Zick's room. There were still many wall lamps which were set in the concrete wall.
'It totally empty.....Well that's a good thing, I will not waste my time having to move things.'
Walking further into the basement, Zick crouched down and touched the ground below him with his hand, then started making the teleportation circle immediately. Creating it was very easy at his level and he wouldn't even need mana crystal to use it, he was a quasi-Archmage after all.
A teleportation circle was made by carving mana into the surface of an object in a certain way. This was different from Enchantment, this magic circle wouldn't affect the object it was made on at all. So it can almost be used anywhere.
'Done.' Zick looked at the magic circle in front of him.
The magic circle was round shaped, reaching almost two metres. He had also set the coordinates in it already.
Taking a last look at the teleportation circle, Zick started walking towards the entrance. Reaching in front of the stair leading to the surface, he casted a magic.
In that instant, the basement got covered in transparent blue glow. They stuck to them like trying to protect them.
'This barrier should be able to stop anyone below the master rank for a while, but I would still need to reinforce it regularly.'
A magic can't last forever on its own, even the nest of the dragon lord had those weird runes on the wall which maintained it power for so long.
Zick headed back to his room, waiting for the night to arrive. He trained in his aura like usual, he left only twice between this time, once for lunch and another one to go shopping.
At last, it turned night. Standing in front of the mirror, Zick looked at himself. The letter had clearly mentioned him to hide his appearance by wearing a mask or anything.
Right at the moment, a person with white hair and bright blue eyes stood in front of the mirror. He looked to be in his early twenties in age. He had also removed the blood red earrings. He could easily camouflage his appearance using magic, in reality his body is still 15 year old. Of course, if a person touched him they would find nothing wrong.
If a peak rank master swordsman or an archmage saw Zick, they would easily be able to tell his real appearance.
But still Zick made himself look exceedingly handsome, even though this was only a fake identity. He even brought some normal clothes which didn't make him standout. A normal track pants and a black jacket with long sleeves.
Finishing looking at himself, Zick walked towards the basement. He met no one in his way, while heading towards there.
Reaching the basement, Zick took out a plain white mask and covered his face from it. Now even if someone saw through the mask, they would just see his fake appearance.
Standing upon the teleportation circle, Zick started concentrating. Mana started to converge towards the circle rapidly, then it shone brightly.
Slowly Zick started turning transparent, he didn't resist it and let it teleport him. His figure grew transparent before vanishing.
Opening his eyes again, Zick could see that he was in a room alone, standing upon a teleportation circle. Checking himself in case his magic wore off but it seemed that it was a baseless worry.
Zick walked towards the door of the room, he could feel many people's presence behind it.
Zick actually knew a lot about this place both from the novel and letter. This black market was not a place which could easily be found in cities. It's a lot more luxurious and a place only existing for VIPs. After all, it was a black market in the academic city, owned by Keshein.

Opening the door, a fancy party hall greeted him. The word banquet would suit this place better. There were many couples who danced in the hall, enjoying themselves.
Everyone here was wearing masks and obviously, the people here were wearing fancy outfits and the majority of them were also wearing colourful masks.
Seeing Zick coming out of the room, a guide walked towards him with a surprised look.
