The guard seemed to be thinking about how to proceed with this request.

Normally, it was forbidden for them to accept any unofficial Ice Wood deliveries, but that was because of the possibility that it might have been unethically sourced.

However, the guards now had a certificate in front of them that showed that this delivery came from an official source.

Yet, it was still forbidden.

After a bit of thinking, the guard waved the other guard over.

The other guard looked at the first guard with a lifted eyebrow and walked over. The first guard handed the piece of paper to the second guard, and the second guard read it.

After a bit of thinking, the second guard just shrugged. "It's official, right? On top of that, it's probably cheaper than the Ice Wood from the towns. I say let Cindy decide," he said.

The first guard scratched his chin for a bit longer but nodded in the end. "Sure, why not."

Then, he turned to Shang and motioned for him to follow. "We'll let you through, but the final decision is still up to the manager," he said.

Shang nodded. "Thanks."

"No problem. We're only doing our job," the guard said.

The guards pushed the gate open, and Shang walked through it while pulling his sled wagon along with him. "Where should I go?" he asked.

"Through the main entrance. The reception isn't always manned, so you might need to wait for a bit. Just wait in the big empty hall until someone comes to receive you."

Shang nodded again and pulled the sled wagon towards the Mana Austerum.

BANG!

The heavy gates closed behind Shang, and he was a bit surprised that the guards didn't follow him.

However, that thought was quickly thrown out of the window.

'There are several real Mages in this building. Security isn't an issue,' Shang thought.

Shang went through the entrance of the Mana Austerum and saw quite a big hall. It was probably over twenty meters long and just as wide. There were also several doors and gates of different sizes.

Shang looked around, and sure enough, there was no one here.

So, Shang just waited at the side of the hall.

Silence.

No one arrived.
