The Adventures Of The Young Master

"Where are we going now?" Sylvianna asked. They had been walking over the night until now, but they showed no signs of stopping. Though it wasn't difficult for her with her cultivation, she still felt a bit hungry.

"To a certain superpower." Jin Rou answered.

"Which one? Dragon Clan? Sword Light? Are you going to put them into their right place, already?" Sylvianna barraged him with many questions.

Jin Rou rolled his eyes and didn't respond again. One answer would lead to another question, so it's better to shut up.

Receiving this silent response, she knew she had to close her mouth now.

Soon, the duo reached a simple town and headed to a warp gate.

"This warp is going to Lion City. So the fee will be 2,000 Myriad Vajra Stones." The guard spoke with a normal tone. He observed the duo but didn't say anything. As long as they could pay for it, then it's good.

Mortalis had many currencies starting from the Myriad Vajra Stones up to Saint Stones as the highest value.

The guard was simply asking for 2,000 Myriad Vajra Stones. This might be a big amount to normal people and sects, but to most people, they could still grit their teeth to afford it.

Moreover, the conversion was 100 is to 1. For example, 100 Myriad Vajra Stones was equivalent to 1 Eternal Vajra Stone. 100 Eternal Vajra Stones was to 1 Immortal Vajra Stone and so on.

Jin Rou took out the vajra stones and handed it over to the guard. The latter counted the money and nodded, "You can go now. The travel time will be at least 20 minutes."

Jin Rou nodded and entered while Sylvianna followed suit. In the passage of the warp, she suddenly said, "You can just calculate the exact location and you can teleport there. What's the need of taking public warp gate?"

If Jin Rou used his own warp gate, they would be there in the matter of seconds. That's how strong his warps were.

"Little Beast handed over some money to me a while ago via telepathy." Jin Rou said, "The amount is too much so I'm trying to spend it more."

Treasurehunt's money would surely be hefty. After all, she used to travel around the world and sold a lot of treasures she found. Thus, the money must be enormous.

"Then you can use it in auction houses, you know?" Sylvianna rolled her eyes, "You just want to flag it up that you struck it rich on my face, no?"

Jin Rou laughed but didn't answer this. After several minutes, they finally reached the end of the warp gate.

"Welcome, customers! This is Lion City, the home of all pride." A lady in an awkward suit greeted them, "I am called Cath, what can I do for you?"

The Lion City was a business lounge, hence stalls after stalls were stacked here. Of all the places in the south, this city was the most successful and the place with the highest economy. Even the Light City of Sword Light couldn't match to the Lion City's economic status.

"I want to enter Lion Hub." Jin Rou answered Cath, "Can you make the arrangements to grant it? Of course, money is not a problem."

Cath revealed an uncomfortable expression and said, "This... I am a mere normal person, Customer. I cannot grant it."

What was Lion Hub? It was the owner of the Lion City, itself! Being one of the three superpowers in the Southern King Region, they held high respect and prestige. How could this lady who was barely making a living could make the arrangements for an entry to that sacred place?

"That's too bad, then." Jin Rou shook his head. He didn't want to waste time with the lady and continued forward.

Cath seemed to be struggling obvious to her expression. After deciding, she gritted her teeth and chase after Jin Rou, "Customer, while I cannot make the arrangements myself, I can take you to someone who can."

"Oh?" Jin Rou smiled and said, "Bring us there."

After a few minutes of walk, Cath led them to a street side where there a few people were strolling. This place was filled with smoke from who knows what kind of places. Furthermore, there was a stinky metallic smell coming from below.

Eyes were observing the newly arrived duo with Cath in tow. Even the one leading them was a bit nervous. After all, this was a thug turf ruled by many gangs. Since the gangs of the Lion City couldn't control the entire city and couldn't actually cause trouble in the light, they created a zone where they could run amok freely.

Lion Hub, of course, gave their permission. As long as the gangs here didn't cross the line, the Black Zone would remain.

"This place is more disgusting than the previous store." Sylvianna pinched her nose and sighed. Why was there too many gross places in the world?

After several twists, they finally arrived to their destination. It had silver plaque with a name 'Coral'.

Cath knocked the door and said, "Hello, I have brought customers."

"Enter." The voice from the inside sounded. Since the permission was granted, Cath opened the door.

There was a cat-like creature sitting on the table. Its little fangs were visible with a pair of wings. It looked like a beast of a terrifying origin. Around it was people in cat mask. They were tightly gripping the hilt of their weapons in case the cat-like creature ordered them.

"What is their purpose here?" The cat talked.

"They want to enter Lion Hub, Master Coral." Cath smiled and responded, "They said money is not a problem."

Currently, the Lion Hub wasn't accepting visitors unlike in the past. They were secretive and didn't usually want to interact with the outside. Thus, the people in the Black Zone made this into an opportunity to earn money.

And that's why Cath brought them to this kind of place.
