In less than a day, Ning was out of the forest. Following the old man named Kaezir Brouch and the young lady named Mikaela Brouch was not a mistake at all for Ning. Aside from his name and place of origin, the old man asked him nothing. So, Ning decided to not ask anything in return either.
As such the rest of the journey had been a silent, awkward one. From time to time, he would see men and women, both single and in the group, walking around the forest. However, no one seemed to want to talk with anyone.
Finally, only after leaving the forest did he see a city in front of him. "Wele to Starsight City, my young friend," the old man said.
"Woah," Ning said looking at the massive walls. 'That reminds me of the walls back in the southern continent,' he thought.
"Do you guys get a lot of Monster invasions in this town?" Ning asked directly.
"We used to, but not anymore. Initially, this place was not populated at all, so the monsters ran rampant here. To counter that, the people living at the time built these massive walls here. However, over the course of time, the city got more and more populated, some of which were strong cultivators and they cleared the forest of any strong monster"
"Now, the most they can go without being noticed is 5th realm of Qi Condensation, which most of the disciples in the sect of this city are," the old man said.
"I see," Ning said.
The old man suddenly took out 2 pieces of circular metal and handed them to Ning. Ning looked at it and was surprised. "Coins?" he asked.
"Yes, they are silver coins. You will need 5 bronze coins to enter. You can keep the rest of it for yourself and settle wherever you can in this city. Now, I have some important tasks to plete, so I must bid you adieu my young friend," The old man said.
"Ah, okay. Thank you for saving my life and bringing me all the way to the city," Ning said.
"Take care young man. Amitabha." With that, both the old man and the young lady left the newbie Ning and entered the city in a hurry. He saw the old man not even being blocked by the guard while entering. In fact, he was bowed to by the other people around him.
"Was that man some sort of big figure in this city?" Ning wondered. Quickly, he ignored the thought and started focusing on what he had to do next. He was absolutely unsure of what to do in this Starsight city.
"Well, first of all, I should get in. I can think of other stuff later." Ning walked up to the long queue of people waiting to enter and waited for his turn to e.
As said by the old man, the guard only took 5 bronze coins before letting Ning enter. He needed to go through no other checkups. "They let just about anyone walk in here? What if a terrorist were to e in like that?" Ning wondered.
"Hmm… although, there might not be such a thing as a terrorist in this world. I should not forget that I'm not on earth anymore." He wanted to forget that, but then the houses in front of him would remind him of the period pieces he watched in the orphanage.
"Now that I'm in, what do I do now?" he wondered.
GRRRR
"Well, at least you know what to do," Ning said as he giggled. He asked around and quickly found himself a tavern where he could get some food.
The food here costs about 2 bronze coins per meal, so Ning ate it without worry. "I can create money for myself whenever I want," Ning thought and giggled himself.
"Although, it might be better to learn about this town," Ning thought. "System, give me knowledge on this town," he said.
