Chapter 470 - Getting A Map
By the city wall.
Void was the first person to try to teleport into the city. The reason Grey told him to go first was because he was not only better with the space element, but given his size, he would be able to evade any problems in case any arises.
'You can come, there's a bit of resistance when making a space tunnel, but you should be able to make it through,' Void's voice echoed in Grey's head.
'Alright,' Grey nodded before trying to create a space tunnel.
Surprisingly, he failed in the first attempt which shocked him. Even though Void told him there was a little bit of resistance, he didn't think it was this strong.
He tried opening it again, but the result was just like the first time. He was unable to open it. He didn't give up immediately, trying it four more times, but the results were the same, he was unable to make it. What was more annoying was that his space essence reserve was draining at an unimaginable rate.
'Uhmm... Void, I think you'll have to open the space tunnel for me, I can't seem to do it,' Grey was left with no choice but to ask for Void's help.
Now he knew the difference between them when it came to manipulating the space element. Void was able to easily create the space tunnel, yet even after multiple tries, he was still unable to.
Void soon appeared before him from a small tear in the void, the tear soon increased in size, becoming big enough for Grey to walk through.
After Grey entered, the tunnel tear in the void closed, the area returning back to normal.
....
Inside the city.
Grey appeared on the side of the wall, just behind a building.
"Hmm, there's a detection array in the entire city, people will find us shortly, no wonder the guard was able to confidently ask for an entry permit," Grey commented as soon as he appeared.
"What would a Venerable want in a small city like ours?"
"We should head back and be on guard, if this person wants anything, given their status, they can easily come to us and ask,"
After speaking, the duo disappeared.
....
While these figures were worried about the arrival of an unknown Venerable, Grey and Void were currently at the marketplace, searching for a map.
This was the first thing Grey felt he should obtain, so he went to get it first.
"Boy, there's no way you can get a map which shows the entire continent. Do you even know how big it is?" The seller looked at Grey in disbelief when Grey said he wanted to get a map that showed the entire continent.
"Oh, then can I get one that covers the region we're currently in?" Grey asked, slightly embarrassed.
The seller nodded before taking out a map that was almost a meter wide.
"That's three thousand high grade essence stones," The seller said emotionlessly.
"That expensive?" Grey asked, stunned.
"You can leave it if you don't want it," The seller replied.
Grey dropped the map before walking in another direction, they were in a marketplace, there was no way this was the only place that sells maps. He could easily tell that the man wanted to extort him when he noticed he was new here.
After going to three more stalls, he found the map for as low as one hundred high grade essence stones.
"So this is the Western Continent, we'll be heading to the Northern Continent to search for Ellis," Grey muttered to himself.
He didn't look at the map properly, keeping it and asking for where the library was located. He wanted to know more about this place and the library was the best place to get the history of this place. Even though he doesn't know everything, he should at least know some things.
He was soon directed to a large building.
