From MC’s perspective:

East City,

“Brother, where are you going?” The stoic-faced wizard asked.

Hearing that I sneered inwardly. I knew these guys were hiding something.

“My companions are on the way. So I’m going to wait for them,” I said to them with a smile on his face.

Hearing that three of them looked at each other.

“Brother, don’t worry. You can enter the city with us. We have made friends with a few city guards. They won’t trouble us,” The stoic face wizard said.

“Bribe!”

“Why haven’t I thought of this before?”I said in my heart.

If I offer mana stones, then the City Guard won’t mind.

“Alright, I’ll come with you,” I said to them.

Hearing that 3 of their faces lit up with joy. They intentionally met with one of the city guards who were familiar with them.

Instead of showing I.D., three of them offered mana stones. Seeing that I followed the line to offer the mana stones.

The city guard received the leather bag and weighed in. The next second, he frowned.

Seeing that stoic face, the wizard added, “Brother, he is with us.”

Heading that the expression of the city guard eased.

Then he let us enter the city.

When we walked into the city. The stoic wizard revealed a smile before asking, “Brother, how?”

I showed him a thumbs-up. What’s the need for hiding one’s identity? There are people like me who don’t want to attract attention.

But others do shady business.

The stoic wizard said, “Brother, I know you came here to make a fortune. But it’s easier said than done.”

“The Adamont Canyon has become a forbidden place. We can only seek different methods. Brother, If you are interested, you can join us,” He added.

Hearing that I laughed in my heart. If not for the current city, I would have joined them. But it’s a pity, I’m in a hurry.

“Thank you for your words. But I need some time to think. Because companions will come to the city as well,” I replied.

“No hurry, you can take this visiting card. Then meet us in the following place later,” He gave a card before leaving with his group.

“Interesting,” I looked at the luxurious card. It seems not an ordinary place. I read the address mentioned on that card.

Whatever they are doing. There must be sponsors behind them.

Then I shook my head before placing the visiting card in my storage bracelet. I can already guess what’s happening.

Some forces are not qualified to enter the Adamont Canyon because of the Core Wizards’ presence there.

But they might not be willing to let go of this opportunity. Then I left the spot and decided to find some inn to stay in.

Not long after, I came across a beautiful inn. But when I approached the manager and asked for the details. The person replied that all the rooms were books.

Seeing that I tried other places in a few hours. But the reply was the same everywhere. Due to the constant inflow of visitors to the city.

The prices of various commodities have been raised. Including the rental price. It’s not easy to stay inside the city for a long time unless you can find a house to buy.

10 minutes later,

I stepped inside a rather shabby inn. This place looked old. Probably, the oldest inn in this city. Seeing that I made up my mind to try.

“Hello, is there any room available here?” I asked.

An old man is sitting behind the desk. Probably the owner of the inn.

After hearing me, he released his fingers. Looking at the ten fingers.

I asked, “What’s the price?”

“10 mid-grade mana stones,” the old man answered.

Hearing that I was stunned before the look of understanding dawned on me. Because of the increasing number of visitors. It’s hard to find a place to stay.

So it’s normal for the inn owners to raise the price.

“Alright, how many days?”

“1 mid-grade stone per day,” The old man asked shamelessly.

Hearing that I controlled my urge to hit him. Then I gave him 7 mid-grade mana stones for a week’s stay.

After checking the mana stones, the old man showed his old teeth. Then he gave me the room key.

“Listen, young man. We don’t offer food here. You can only find it outside,” The old man said.

Hearing that I twitched. Then I picked up the room key before walking towards the room. The wooden floors started to creak.

Seeing that a quick gleam flashes in my eyes.

“How old was this inn?” I asked in my heart.

The renovation was not done here for a long time. Then I quickly found the room. I opened the room after using the key.

Creak!

The door opened. Then I walked inside. The room was small with limited space. There is only a simple bed, table and chair.

After locking the door, I started to investigate the room. I doubt there are any suspicious items here. I started to use the system to probe everything.

15 minutes later,

Seeing that everything was fine. I sighed inwardly. Then I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion. Compared to the rundown inn, my mansion was many times better.

Then I entered the room to take a rest.

At the same time, the feeble-looking old man stood up from his seat and went outside.

Not long after, he came to the post area of the city where the rich families stayed. The guards didn’t bother the old man.

As they are used to seeing him as a regular visitor. After crossing a few streets, the old man came to a luxurious mansion.

The gatekeeper received the mana stones pouch from him before inquiring about the details of the new customer.

After providing the details, the old man politely left the place.

The gatekeeper’s eyes shone with bright light.

“Another fat sheep appeared. Looks like the lord is going to reap huge benefits,” the gatekeeper said to himself.
