Chapter 985: Part 1: Purple City
After sorting out the books last night. I went to sleep late. My heart is aching for me to get more sleep. However, I must finish this crucial task.
I started my morning routine after getting out of bed.
After a few minutes,
I started the meditation. I placed mana stones around me before I started running the Mental Method. As the time passed, the gravity mana particles entered my body.
I started to guide this mana energies according to the mental method. After circulation, the refined mana entered the mana core space.
Because of the limit, the mana core is slowly absorbing the refined mana.
Seeing that I continued to focus.
A few hours later,
After feeling a slight improvement in my physique, I ended my practice. I got up after that and went to take a bath.
30 minutes later,
Swoosh!
I appeared outside. I was dressed in brand-new clothes, a mask covering my face, and a Magic Cloak on top.
I then pulled out the map and began going over the route to the Purple City once more.
Placing the map back, I thought to myself, "The Purple City half a miles down from here."
Then I started flying towards Purple City.
20 minutes later,
A brand new city came into my view. Even so, during the day the sky and the land are bleak. However, the city appears bright. I am not the only one going ahead of me.
After a short while,
As I got closer to the city, I eventually set foot on land. Because I saw that many of them avoided using the flight ability as they approached the city gate.
I set off on foot. I looked at each individual. I observe individuals donning various costumes. However, a large number of them wore Mage Robes from Adventurer Union.
I soon arrived at the City Gate. There are two enormous gates. One for the cars to drive into. For Wizards, there is another one.
Realizing there is a waiting list. I hurried to stand behind the final individual. People pay taxes in this city, just like in any other.
My mouth quivers upon seeing that. The Mana Stones in my hand are diminishing daily. My wealth will be depleted very soon if I do not rob anyone soon.
I have observed that there is a 50 Mid Grade Mana Stone admission fee. I could not help but ponder how much it costs to live in the city.
My turn came a few minutes later.
I offered them fifty Mana Stones of Mid Grade. They checked it and let me in.
People are passing out pamphlets while standing close to the gate. An elderly man soon came up to me.
"I am a tour guide, sir. The elderly man stated frankly, "You can give me one mid-grade mana stone if you need anything.
On the other hand, I glanced over at the elderly man\'s body. The Old Man has wounds that are hidden. At the moment, his strength is level-5.
My eyes flash with a quick gleam.
To believe that a level-5 Wizard is serving as a guide. The Level-5 Wizard can be appointed as City Lord if this were in my hometown.
Ah!
I let out a sigh.
"All right, tell me about the city and I will give you one mana stone of a medium grade," I said to the old man.
The elderly man was content. Regarding the fee amount, he was being truthful. He did not want to ask a steep price so as to enrage anyone.
"You can follow me, sir. I will give you a brief introduction to the city."
"The Purple Chamber of Commerce is in charge of this Purple City. Not even the City Lord, nor any other government delegates, are present."
"The Purple Chamber of Commerce owns the businesses and the plot of land. They were the first to arrive and began clearing the wasteland."
"Then, one by one, companies began to flourish. The families behind these businesses eventually settled here."
With the exception of the Purple Chamber of Commerce. There is no other organization active in this area. The foreign residents of this city are employed by the Purple Chamber of Commerce."
The old man leads me into the city and keeps explaining. On the other hand, I am holding all of the details close to my chest.
I need to work at the Purple Chamber of Commerce if I want to live comfortably in this city.
As time goes on,
I had a great tour of the city from the old man. I have also learned about the "no to offend" list from him. Those on the list are influential people who have the ability to decide whether or not someone can live.
The influential people come from wealthy backgrounds. These wealthy families are employed by the Chamber of Commerce in Purple. The elderly man began to discuss their wrongdoings.
I started to listen with black lines on my forehead.
This city essentially lacks law and order. The Purple Chamber of Commerce and its associated families set the rules.
Excluding the purple chamber of commerce and the company associated with these families. The other inhabitants are not doing well.
"All right, take me to the cheap inn," I said to the elderly man.
Not long after,
Before the dilapidated inn, we arrived. Looking around at the dilapidated building, I muttered, "How much is the rent?"
The elderly man heard it. "It costs one mid-grade mana stone per day," he stated.
Hearing that I remained silent. Without a job, it\'s difficult to live in the city.
"Okay, thanks for the tour, here\'s your one mid-grade mana stone," I said to the elderly man.
After saying that I walked inside the inn. The old man left after collecting the mana stone. He didn\'t want to be seen by anyone.
The other hand, I walked to the desk. A middle aged man is sitting behind the desk. After inquiring about the accommodation details, I gave him one mid grade mana stone.
After getting the key, I walked upstairs. Afterwards, I opened the door and went inside.
The room is small in size. I began to probe the room by using the system. Unlike the inn in a weird town, there were no bugs installed in this room.
I then started setting up the bed.
