Chapter 213 CHAPTER 212: The Eternal Treasure City

Joey put the map inside his space ring and asked, "Grandpa Jugge, what is this card for?"

"Boy, even though you now have the map on you. You still can't go straight to that place as instructed on the map. That card is a ticket for a tier-9 carriage that will transport you inside the Hundred Valleys of the Poison. You can thank me for that,"  The old man explained and made a sincere smile.

-------------------------

The Eternal Treasure City,

It was a beautiful morning with a clear sky. A long line of people was in a queue just before the city gate. Most of them were merchants.

A golden flying carriage approached quickly and landed on the ground not far from the city gate.

"Who the hell is so arrogant to land a carriage just before the city gate?" One of the merchants among them spoke out loudly.

"Right, it's strictly forbidden to land a carriage within 1000 yards around the wall of the city, especially in front of the city gate." Another merchant added.

At that time, ten city guards wearing thick armors and bearing a spear each on their hands suddenly appeared in front of the gate and surrounded the golden flying carriage.

"Insolent! Come out of the carriage. Don't you know the rules of the city?" A man among them shouted. He was the leader of this team.

A handsome youth came out from inside the carriage. He looked at them with a friendly smile. It was Joey.

"What a handsome young man! Tch, tch, he will be held captive from today onward. I feel bad for him." A middle-aged woman among those merchants in front of the gate spoke.

"Woman, do you want a beating?" Her husband scolded her.

"Halt, there! " The leader among the 10 guardsmen shouted and continued speaking in a harsh tone, "You are under arrest for breaking the rule of the Eternal Treasure City. Don't resist or we will use force on you. "

He then waved his hand and ordered his team, "Arrest him!"

The other nine city guards pointed the tips of their spears at him and approached him with caution.

"Wait!" Joey waved his hand at them, making them stop. He then took out a red medallion and showed it to them.

"Hah! That is the city Lord's medallion. " The leader among the city guards exclaimed and knelt quickly on the ground. The other nine guards also knelt on the ground just like him.

"What is going on? Why are they kneeling on the ground instead of arresting that boy?" A fatty among the groups of the merchants asked with confusion.

Everyone around there also looked at them with surprise and confusion.

Joey was the one who was more surprised than everyone here. He looked at those kneeling guards and then to the red medallion in his hand.

"I thought this medallion was going to get me away from this awkward situation. But, it seems like this medallion is not so simple at all." Joey thought in his head.

"City Lord! We were not able to recognize you before. These servants have committed a great crime. Please, punish us." The leader apologized and started kowtowing on the ground. The other nine guards also followed after him and started kowtowing before Joey on the ground.

"Hah!" Joey exclaimed. He then pointed to himself and asked, "Me! ...The city lord?"

"Ahh! That handsome man is the actual city lord that has never come out to the public. Luckily we finally see his face today." One of the merchants said softly.

Joey turned his head to ask something from him. But, the moment he looked at them, they all knelt on the ground.

"Hmph!" He sighed and said, "Alright, I forgive you. " He then retracted the golden flying color into his palm and put it inside his space ring.

After that, Joey quickly entered the gate. When he just reached the gate, he stopped and said in a firm tone, "About my presence here. Everyone must keep their mouths shut. Otherwise..." And he quickly rushed out of that place.

After he left, everyone stood up one by one.

"Wow! What a handsome young city lord we have. He wears even simple clothes that become so good to him. And that pair of golden bar earrings look so good on him. I will never forget his face ever in my life." A lady said with a lovesick expression.

After walking through the prosperous city for half an hour, he finally reached his destination, the Overjoyed Carriage Service. There was a big and tall building in front of him.

As he entered the 1st floor of the building, a female receptionist came out and greeted him politely, "Hello, Young Master. What can I do for you?"

Joey took out a blue-color-long thick card and showed it to her.

The female receptionist carefully read the details of the card and said politely with a warm smile, "Alright, please follow me."

Then, Joey was brought to a large hall. The hall had two golden-colored flying carriages inside it.

"Young Master, that carriage is your ride, please enter." The female receptionist told him while pointing at a carriage. She then bowed slightly and rushed out of the room.

Joey then entered the carriage. There was an old man with a goatee beard inside the carriage.

"Welcome, Young master. I am Yang Lin. I will be the driver of this carriage." The old cupped his hand and introduced himself.

"Senior Yang Lin, don't be so polite to this junior. And please called me Joey." Joey introduced himself while cupping his hands at him.

The old man all smiled on seeing the easy-going attitude Joey had.

"Most of the young masters in his age will look down on an old commoner like me. This boy has a very humble attitude and doesn't care much about those social differences. This boy will have a more successful future than his peers." he thought and praised in his head.

Then they started chatting on different topics regarding the Eternal Treasure city and about the famous Hall of Treasure. Joey learned much new information from him.
