The City of Stripping, Adelo, was located deep in the mountains. Even though it was the end of summer, it was still gloomy deep in the mountains, and the temperature was frighteningly low. It was as if it was a sign that this castle was unusual.
In the night, Ryuga quickly crossed the mountain path and arrived near the City of Stripping.
Even from afar, the appearance of the City of Stripping still gave off a rather unique feeling.
In terms of scenery, this castle was undoubtedly comparable to many famous castles in the United Kingdom. The city walls were made of marble that had been carefully calculated and cut. Behind the castle was a quiet lake that reflected the clear moonlight, and there was a dense forest around the lake.
The castle, lake, and forest formed a natural contrast with each other, forming a very beautiful scenery that gave off a solemn feeling as if it was out of a fairy tale.
However, although the scenery was beautiful, the entire castle gave off a severely depressing atmosphere.
Although the castle formed a perfect cycle with the lake and the forest, as a man-made building made of marble, it was very strange for it to be integrated with the environment. On the whole, it gave people a sense of difference.
Moreover, although the marble used to make the city walls was not uneven at all, the spire of the castle was bent like a spine that was bearing an unknown weight, and the half-collapsed city gate was like a broken rib, giving off a painful impression.
From Ryuga's perspective, the entire castle looked extremely out of place.
Although he knew some general knowledge about magic, he knew nothing about real knowledge. He could not tell what kind of principle was used to build this castle, but that did not stop him from having the thought that this castle was probably not friendly.
"I'm afraid that the owner of this castle has turned this castle into an airtight magic workshop."
Ryuga thought as he approached the castle.
The so-called [Magic Workshop] referred to a magic fortress that magicians used various methods to transform their own residences.
The modified magic workshop was the magician's own territory. Even a brick or a drop of water in it could become the enemy of a foreign magician. Under normal circumstances, a magician could only unleash his or her abilities to the greatest extent in a magic workshop.
The City of Stripping was the magic workshop built by its owner, the magician Geryon Ashburn.
"It doesn't matter what magic workshop it is, as long as it doesn't have the ability to kill, it won't be a threat to me."
Ryuga didn't care about the possible danger. He leaped over the walls of the castle and ran up the walls at a speed faster than the naked eye. Before gravity could react, he had already reached the top of the walls and arrived in Peel City.
"According to Mario, the owner of Peel City, Geryon Ashburn, is dead. It is estimated that there will soon be a fight for his inheritance … Before those who may fight for his inheritance arrive, I will go in and find a room to rest."
Although his body did not feel tired, his spirit was still limited. He had rushed all the way here, so it was easy for him to feel tired mentally.
In the castle, it was quiet. Even the servants should be deep asleep now. Ryuga easily sneaked into the castle and found an empty room on the first floor near the hall.
There seemed to be the word 'Michael' on the door, which should have some special meaning. However, Ryuga didn't know anything about it, so he didn't pay much attention to it and walked in.
After entering the room, Ryuga immediately drew the curtains so that the sun would not shine in for a few hours. After getting ready, Ryuga got into the wardrobe and rested.
In this City of Stripping where accidents could happen, unless there was a situation where he had to expose himself, Ryuga didn't intend to easily expose himself to the magicians.
Once he was exposed to the eyes of the magicians, his demonic nature was likely to be discovered. If something were to happen here, he would definitely be the first person to be suspected.
Demonic nature was different from aura. Aura was something that was naturally emitted, but demonic nature was something that could only be discovered when one was directly facing the magician.
With Ryuga's ability to conceal his aura, the magicians wouldn't be able to detect his demonic nature unless they were face to face. On the other hand, if they were face to face, the possibility of him being exposed would be more than 50%.
Therefore, unless it was necessary, he would never expose himself to the eyes of the magicians.
It wasn't that he wasn't powerful enough. In fact, even if all the magicians in the castle swarmed him, there was still a 90% chance that they would be killed in two to three moves.
However, Ryuga came to the City of Stripping with another purpose other than to complete the [Ability Points Upgrade Mission].
He intended to find out if there were any famous magicians from the Clock Tower among the magicians who might come to the City of Stripping. It would be best if there were powerful and influential magicians who could protect him.
In order to complete the [Spiritual Base Upgrade Mission] of entering the Clock Tower to learn magic, he had to find a way to join a famous magician from the Clock Tower.
Otherwise, if he wanted to enter the Clock Tower as a ghost, it would be like a tiger entering a flock of sheep — yes, a tiger entering a flock of sheep, not a flock of sheep entering a tiger — he might not be able to do anything, but at least he wouldn't be able to complete the [Magic Base Upgrade Mission].
If there weren't any famous magicians from the Clock Tower, then Ryuga would kill everyone in the City of Stripping. In this way, he should be able to complete the [Ability Points Upgrade Mission] — as long as he killed the troublemakers, it would be a way to solve the problem, right?
…
The next day.
When Ryuga woke up from his sleep, it was already close to evening.
Outside the room, there seemed to be a few servants walking around, as if they were preparing dinner.
Ryuga didn't walk out of the wardrobe. Instead, he continued to hide. He transferred the magic that was originally used to suppress his hunger to his ears and used his powerful hearing to eavesdrop on the conversation outside the room.
In the castle hall.
One guest after another visited the City of Stripping. From their conversations in the hall, Ryuga gradually began to understand the ins and outs of the whole thing.
"It seems that not only the famous magicians from the Clock Tower, but there are also aristocratic magicians from other countries …"
Ryuga, who was hiding in the wardrobe, blinked slightly, trying to seek his own benefits in this matter.
