Chapter 487 - Ernst City
Ernst City.
Grey and Void stared in wonder at the busy city, with carts going in and out.
"Is this like a trade city?" He couldn't help but ask when he saw how high the number of carts and carriages going in and out were.
The lady who was by the side shrugged, "I have no clue, this is my first time here,"
Grey wanted to complain, but since she was stronger than he was, he kept his mouth shut. Even he hadn't been to a lot of places in the Qilin empire which was far smaller than the Eastern Continent.Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
The duo stepped into the city with Void being held tightly by Grey. Just looking around gave Grey a headache, the number of shiny things was astronomical, he could literally feel Void shaking from excitement.
"What's wrong with him?" The lady asked.
During their journey, she has gotten to know the duo a little. But this was her first time seeing Void like this.
"Those," Grey used his eyes to point at a stall filled with shiny things.
"Those worthless pieces of trash?" The lady asked with a baffled look.
"Yes, he has a weird obsession with shiny things. No matter how useless it was, since it was shiny, then he was good with it," Grey explained.
"That's a weird obsession," The lady remarked.
"A treasure," Void suddenly perked up, looking deeper into the city.
After saying this, one could see him even more visibly excited compared to before.
"Alright, you lead the way, we'll follow," The lady said.
"Wait, you're planning to steal it?" Grey asked as if this wasn't what they hoped for.
"Yes, I'm bored. This should at least be able to make me feel a little excited," The lady replied.
Grey did a double-take on the lady, making sure she wasn't a teenager who was pretending to be older just because she was powerful.
"What's with that look, come on, let's go," The lady said.
Grey followed behind the lady who took the lead, following Void's instructions, they soon got deeper into the city.
Ernst City was at least five hundred square kilometers, and the lady told Grey there were over three million people in the city. This was not only the largest city Grey had been to but also the most populated.
Void was happily showing the lady the way, while Grey was carefully observing the city.
Of the three, he was the only one who seemed to care about their safety. Void and the lady were almost the same, carefree and nonchalant towards things that they didn't find important.
After almost three hours of walking, they soon got to a rich district of the city. Surprisingly, it had a wall around it, separating it from the other part of the city. And the reason they knew it was the rich district was that it was boldly written on the top of the gate leading into it.
Just as they were about to step in, they were stopped by the guards at the gate.
Grey secretly started praying for the safety of the guards. The lady with him might lose it at start beating them up, that's if she didn't kill them.
"Stop there, you can't enter this district without permission," The guard said.
Grey couldn't help but recall the guard he met when he went to Eagle's City who was also demanding something like this.
"We are travelers who want to use the teleportation array," He explained.
The teleportation array was safely guarded since it generated good revenue for the city.. Not everyone could afford to use it, so whoever said they wanted to use the array would naturally be fully loaded.
