Chapter 126: Steel Blood Return
Chapter 126: Steel Blood Return
After half an hour of running, Kritos could finally see the city walls.
This place seems to be called Bakiya City, the main city of Cloud Region" said Kritos upon looking at the vast buildings.
An incredibly beautiful ferocious beast sculpture towered above the city gates, placed on a patch of purple clouds.
It depicted the legendary Golden Eagle Divine Beast that was born in fire. Every single feather of its outspread wings glistened with golden light, giving off an ancient aura.
Although pure-blooded Golden Eagles were already extinct and the descendants of the Golden Eagle bloodlines had left long ago, the regional cultivators whose family have stayed here since ancient times still worshiped the divine bird.
The city people's love and respect for the Golden Eagle were evident from the various signs and marks in Bakiya City.
Kritos quickly approached the city gate. His plan was to first rest in the city and then ask about the situation of the Dwivedi Clan from the different merchants.
"What are they doing?"
As they approached, Kritos noticed the crystal ball in one of the guards' grasp.
The crystal ball was light white in color.
Shortly, a man placed his right hand on the crystal, upon noticing there was no change in color, the guards let him go inside.
"It must be used to inspect the visitors. Unless the person is a wanted criminal, the color will not change."
Kritos vaguely remembers a few people in the Rewa city who have once visited big cities telling some people about crystal orb that is used for inspection.
A few minutes later, he reached towards the guards at the gates.
"Entrance fee is 10 silver for each individual," said a guard once he got close enough.
For Kritos, this much money is not a big deal.
Kritos put his hands in his pocket and retrieved some silver coins from it. Actually, he took out the silver coins from the System Storage Function. He was just putting an act in front of him.
Soon, Kritos handed 10 silver coins to the closet guard.
"This will account for your entrance fee." The guard said.
After a quick glance, the guard retrieved the crystal ball.
"Place your hands on it," said the guard.
Kritos placed his hands on the globe.
A few seconds later, it doesn't glow, indicating to them that he is a normal citizen.
"You may pass."
Kritos soon reached inside the city. He was staring at the vast number of people inside the City.
The Bakiya city hosted many businesses here to trade. So, it was normal that there were so many people.
If not, there was a big Mountain range separating Rewa city and Bakiya city. The Rewa city may be just like the Bakiya city.
Bakiya city is known as the main city of the Cloud Region. However, the Capital of the Cloud Region is another city that is located in a flourishing land.
People call Bakiya city the main city of Cloud Region, only because the governor of the Cloud Region was born in Bakiya City.
It is the norm of Nobles to give respect to the governor of Cloud Region. Hence, they started calling Bakiya City as the main city of the Cloud Region.
Kritos wandered around the city for a few minutes, he asked many people about the current situation of the Dwivedi Clan.
From them, he faintly understands that the current Dwivedi Clan is in the protection of another region called the Stigma Region.
The previous Clan head of the Dwivedi Clan was a friend of the old ancestor of the Huwa clan that is situated in the Stigma Region.
Kritos was happy upon knowing their well being.
If he gets any way to notify them that he is alive. He will surely do it.
For the time being, Kritos decided to roam around the Sincromas World and explore the unexplored areas.
He could have joined a sect but in a sect, there is a chance of exposing the Supreme Human System.
Even if he wanted to conceal it, he wouldn't be able to do it.
A normal cultivator takes a month, sometimes a year to completely master a skill, but with his talent, the time will be greatly shortened.
If only this was the case, he would be hailed as a genius, but about creating numerous skills and exhibiting a trait which only some specific monsters have.
With the passage of time, someone would definitely find his secrets or start suspecting that he has some heavenly treasure.
Moreover, in the sect, he will be restricted to go outside without prior permission.
Isn't it better to endlessly hunt monsters and increase his strength rather than staying in a greenhouse?
Kritos inquired about the nearest lodge where he could rent a room for some days.
In response, some people suggested a few lodges.
From them, Steel Blood lodge was relatively famous. The drink and food that served in it was A grade according to the people.
After waddling for a few minutes, Kritos reached his destination.
The owner of the Steel Blood is an old man, named Steel. Upon entering the lodge, he saw a crowd of people enjoying their drink.
"Tsk! Too much crowd!"
As he was thinking of leaving the lodge, an old voice sounded from the side.
"Young Man, I think you don't like this environment."
Kritos casually nodded his head, he didn't bother to explain the reason.
Kritos has faintly guessed the identity of a tall old man.
According to him, this old man must be the owner of the Steel Blood, Steel.
"Perhaps you are a young cultivator, so this noisy environment doesn't suit you...If you like, I can recommend a peaceful lodge to you," The old man said.
There was an irritating smile that constantly hung on the old man's face.
Kritos thought for a bit and then nodded.
"Good choice, young man. You will definitely like that lodge. It is located at the tower square, approx 300 meters away from here
The creepy old man gave Kritos an exact direction to the lodge he was referring to.
After the creepy old man told the exact details of the location, he said," By the way, it is my daughter's lodge, Steel Blood Return."
Kritos was dazed for a moment, and the wind blew from his side.
Kritos recovered his consciousness and stared at the crazy old man.
"Old man, so it's your another lodge and it is run by your daughter," Kritos asked.
The old man nodded his head with a smile on his face.
Afterward, Kritos left the Steel blood lodge.
Kritos again looked at the name of the lodge, it was Steel Blood Return.
"What a weird naming sense, the old man got!"
Kritos was in front of the old man's daughter's lodge, Steel Blood Return.
There were very few people compared to that area.
Kritos soon entered in it and swept his eyes around the lodge.
"It is better!"
Merely two, or three people were there.
This lodge couldn't be compared to the Steel Blood lodge based on structure and layout, but there is far less noise than the Steel Blood lodge.
Kritos looked at the young girl at the counter.
She has two ponytails on her head and her face is relatively cute. It gives her a certain charm around her.
Kritos moves towards her. He can now clearly notice that she is relatively younger than him, but the difference wasn't that big.
"Hello sir, How can I help you?"
She sweetly asked him.
"Hello, the owner of Steel Blood lodge introduced me to this Lodge. He told me that this lodge is noiseless," Kritos asserted.
"Certainly, the grandfather told you the truth. There are very few people in our lodge...Do you wish to rent a room in our lodge?"
She looked at Kritos with a pleading eye. Kritos could notice that when she smiled up at him sweetly, a tiny dimple was playing at the corner of her mouth.
The smile came so quickly that it seemed the dimple arrived first.
'That dimple sure was cute.'
For a moment, Kritos stared at the dimple which appeared below her eyes, and then he replied,"...Yes, I will stay here for some days."
Upon hearing the Kritos words, a delighted countenance emerges on her face.
"Sir, it will cost you only 30 silver coins for each night. Additionally, the total cost of the full-day meal is just 25 silver coins. Do you want to arrange your meal charge with the rent?" She again said with a pleading face.
Again the dimple made an appearance.
"Yes, arrange it with my rent." Kritos immediately replied.
If by chance, he doesn't like their lodge meal, he could cancel their services anytime.
After hearing his statement, happiness appears on her cute face.
"Wait sir, let me give you the paper."
She was very excited to receive a customer all by herself.
