"Oh right, Bartoli, did you apply for a temporary residence permit? I just heard my identity card allows me to bring 5 followers into the city. You can apply for one here as well!" Abel said to Bartoli as he thought about what just happened.
"Yes, master!" Bartoli bowed and went to the office to apply for an additional identity card.
"Master, you don't know, but temporary residence in the city is very expensive. Thank goodness you gave me the intermediate gemstones. It costs 20 intermediate gemstones for 10 days of residence!" Bartoli said to Abel with her new identity card.
"No wonder this head commander wanted to spend ten thousand gold coins to let me give them the right to live in the city. Looks like he thinks I'm easy to bully!" Abel touched his face unhappily. It was easy to get into trouble when he was too young.
Bartoli covered her mouth with one hand and laughed. She knew exactly what her master was going to do this time. Judging from his mood, he must have gotten what he wanted. If he was easy to bully, who else in the world wouldn't be easy to bully?
"Why did you come here on foot?" Abel asked curiously.
"Master, you don't even know how to hire a carriage in this city, so I had to walk!" Bartoli hadn't been in a city for more than 10,000 years, but she still knew a lot about most cities. Plus, she had learned a lot about Linate City in the past few days.
"Alright, I'll give you this chocobo!" Abel said as he let the chocobo out of his portal beast ring.
This chocobo was thrown into the portal beast ring by Abel as soon as he caught it. Although it was a good mount for normal people and wizards, it wasn't worth using the soul chain to contract it.
Also, the chocobo's origin was a bit questionable. The St. Ellis Wizard Union's investigation department had been razed to the ground, so no one would pay attention to a chocobo. Plus, the chocobo was caught by Flying Flame, so it was as obedient as a blue howling rabbit under the care of an oak tree.
The released chocobo obediently let Bartoli ride on its back and followed Black Wind's footsteps.
As Abel and Bartoli disappeared from the entrance, the people at the entrance finally woke up. They looked at each other and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Using an intermediate wizard as a servant, this is the first time I've seen one!" The secretary mumbled.
"Yeah, that master is too strong. He threw the Knight captain away so easily!" The Knight said enviously as he watched Abel disappear into the distance.
Only the Knight captain who got up from the ground. His face was pale, partly because he was thrown away by Abel, and partly because he was scared.
"Bring me there tomorrow to get my Magus badge. Let's go home first!" Said Abel as he played with his useless rank 3 wizard badge and looked at the double magic staff badge on Bartoli's chest.
"Yes, master. Everything here requires points, even food. Gems can only be used to buy some normal food, and gold coins are not used here!" Bartoli was arranged by Abel to come to Liante City. She didn't just sit around and do nothing. Instead, she asked around for information about the city.
"This city is special enough!" Abel shook his head and laughed. This wasn't a city, it was a large organization with a unified currency system. Everyone in the city could only do quests to get necessities and training necessities.
They chatted as they walked. Abel also opened his eyes along the way. There were almost no normal shops here, and the number of shops was very small. Most of them were battle-related shops, such as weapon shops, potion shops, recycling shops, and so on.
Most of the people walking on the street were professionals. There were very few ordinary people here. In a city that required points and gems to survive, the ordinary people who could live here were not ordinary.
It took about 10 minutes to walk from the entrance to the location marked on Abel's deed. Along the way, Abel saw no less than 20 Knight captains. The level of secrecy here was beyond his imagination.
The key was that this was the outer circle. If it was the inner circle … The more Abel walked, the more shocked he became. He found that the Knight captains here were generally much younger, and every Knight had a murderous aura. They were much stronger than the Knight captains who held military power in the various duchies. It seemed that the most talented group of Knights were gathered here.
"Master, the Knights here often participate in difficult battles. As long as they complete their missions, there are enough resources to exchange for knight skills. Therefore, there are a lot of elite knights here. It feels like they are mass-producing elite Knights!" Although Bartoli was not from the Holy Continent, she still had her noble experience. She knew what a Knight should be like.
Although the Knights here were powerful, they lacked a noble culture. Compared to the Knights Abel knew, they were more like a bunch of thugs. Abel did not appreciate this kind of Knight.
"We're here. This is the place marked on the deed!" Abel stopped Black Wind and pointed at a yard with the deed in his hand.
This yard was very close to the inner circle. From here, one could see the magic towers in the inner circle. However, at the same time, there was a giant magic circle separating the inner circle from the inner circle. This circle was very powerful. It could seal the mana leaking out of the 36 magic towers in the inner circle, so it would not cause harm to the ordinary people and Knights in the outer circle.
Abel had only seen this kind of circle in the elven city. There was no other city in the human world where he could see this kind of circle. The fact that 36 magic towers could set up a circle to protect the law made the attack power of this city unimaginable.
On the gate of the yard, a 6 star magic circle was set up in the middle of the gate. Abel placed the deed on it, and the 6 star magic circle flashed a white light. At the same time, the deed also emitted a white light. At this moment, a mechanical voice emerged.
"Deed No.1558 holder, do you want to end the trusteeship from now on?" The mechanical voice asked.
"Yes!" Abel replied. It was a spirit. He didn't know if it was the spirit of a magic tower or some other spirit. This kind of spirit seemed to be very common in Liante City.
"House Deed No. 1558, your house has been in escrow for 20 years. The escrow fee you have deposited in Liante City can be used for 100 years. You have used it for 7250 days, so 29250 days are left. If you need to be in escrow again, please activate the magic circle for escrow. You are welcome to return to Liante City!" The mechanical voice reported a bunch of data and then it ended.
At this moment, the door was opened, and the first thing that came into view was a courtyard. The courtyard was not big, but it was very clean. It seemed that someone often came to clean it, and there were three houses on the three sides of the courtyard, forming a square courtyard.
Abel walked into the master room in the middle. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a very conspicuous circle in the corner of the house. There were no magic gems on it. He guessed that the original owner took them away when he left. He took out a few intermediate gems and put them on the circle. In an instant, the whole yard was surrounded by an invisible wall.
Being able to set up a defensive circle to protect this yard meant that this place was not safe. In the dwarf cities of Kitchener City and Moga City, there was no need to use defensive circles at all because fighting was forbidden there. However, the original owner of this place used this method to protect the yard, which meant that there was still a problem with the security of this place.
Of course, if there was no super big circle like the one in Kitchener City and Moga City, how could there be no conflict in a place full of advanced combat professions?
"Bartoli, give me your identity card!" Abel said to Bartoli.
Bartoli handed the identity card to Abel. Abel connected the identity card with his own identity card and set it on the circle board. He then said, "Ok, you can freely come in and out of here in the future. You also have the authority to operate the circle. The security here is up to you!"
"Yes, master!" Bartoli, of course, knew that Abel often went to the Dark World to fight, and that was her forbidden place. Therefore, all she could do was to protect her master from being disturbed and discovered when he went in and out of the Holy Continent.
