Arken Port City
The monster carriage reached the city one hour later. David didn’t stop explaining. He wanted to know important things.
Especially, certain do’s and don’ts.
Since the border was located next to the open sea, a port city was built here. It’s also the border city. It acts as an important battle fort during tis of war.
So there is no opportunity for outsiders to cause trouble here. If they do create a problem here, then they will face the consequences.
The flying monsters are not only tad for transport services; they are used in hunting as well. So those who co from outside behave themselves here.
The monster carriage flew over the 100ft city wall. The Skycrock minders easily flew past others.
It didn’t take long for the monster to reach the platform. It slowly landed next to other monster carriages.
David said, "You are new here. I don’t know what the purpose of your trip is, but let tell you sothing important. Don’t roam around sensitive places."
"If you want to explore the city, just hire a guide. He knows what to do. He will avoid taking you to dangerous places," he added.
A look of understanding dawned on . I didn’t want to casually inquire about the Opal Magic Forest. I could be suspected.
It was better to find out the information myself.
"If you know any guide, you can tell ," I said to David.
Hearing that, David was surprised. He was just about to talk about that. He didn’t expect to bring it up.
"Here is the card. Take it. You can contact him later and give him my na. He won’t charge high fees." After saying that, he gave the visiting card to .
I accepted the card and placed it inside the system space. Then I talked for a few minutes before leaving the place.
I ca across another cab driver and spoke to him. Since I didn’t know about the hotels here, I initiated a conversation with him.
The driver was talkative. He introduced a few hotels to . I decided to select a good hotel. A hotel nad Black View seed interesting to .
According to the driver, the most important people choose to stay in that hotel. I could use the help of the Zero Puppet to collect information.
I was sure it was the right way to collect intel.
Then I asked the driver to take to the Black View Hotel.
Twenty minutes later,
The cab driver dropped in front of the Black View Hotel. I paid the fare to the driver before looking at the hotel.
It was a towering building with a black, fort-like infrastructure. It appeared they had constructed it in an old watchtower building style.
I collected my thoughts and walked to the door. Then I walked inside the hotel to look around the place. Inside, the vibe was good and aesthetic.
It was not old-school like the outside. The lighting was done well too; it matched the taste of rich people. The wall paint was a terracotta color.
It matched perfectly with the good, minimalist lights. Then I turned towards the help desk and walked up to them.
I saw three staff mbers who were middle-aged. They were dressed in black clothes. One of them was male and the other two were female.
"How may I help you?" the female staff mber asked.
Hearing that, I said, "I need a spacious room with a balcony view."
The staff smiled. They understood I was a big custor.
"We have rooms available. The price of the room for a day and night is 100 mid-grade mana stones," the female staff mber said.
"Alright," I agreed.
Then I paid 500 mid-grade mana stones upfront. I booked the room for 5 days. If I booked the room for a month, it would arouse suspicion.
Then I got the keys. One of the staff mbers led to the room. On the way, I initiated small talk. I wanted to know about the hotel.
The staff mber smiled and revealed so information. Since it was a border city, it was important to the kingdom. So, important people preferred to stay at this hotel.
The backer of the hotel had connections to the ruling royal family as well. So, people had no problems when it cos to safety and security.
Soon, we reached the third floor. He handed over the keys and showed how to use them, because there were three keys for one door.
Creak!
When the door opened, he gave the keys to .
"If you need anything, you can call us from the device in the room." After saying that, the male staff mber left the room.
I turned toward the room and walked inside. I shut the door and used the key to lock it.
Then I placed the keys on the table and walked to the living room. As I had guessed, the room was wide and spacious it was enough for a small family to live in.
I used the power of the system to scan the whole room. I didn’t find anything dangerous. Then I ca out to the balcony. The view from the balcony side was gorgeous.
The whole city spanned across acres. Skyscrapers could be seen everywhere. The city was no less grand than any powerful city, yet it was a remote port city.
What would the main city of the Kingdom look like? I gasped inwardly. Then I cald my heart. I should not underestimate this city.
If I wanted to get information on the Opal Magic Forest, then I should be careful. I decided to explore the city tomorrow.
I would release the Zero Puppet then to collect intel. There was no need to act now. After gaining so clarity in my thoughts, I felt confident.
Next, I went to take a bath. The shower lasted for 20 minutes. I walked out and changed into fresh clothes. Then, my gaze fell on the communication device.
I picked up the device, walked over to the sofa, and sat down. Then I turned it on. The features were familiar.
So, I began to watch the news on the device.
