Chapter 418 Liante City

While he was still on White Cloud’s back, Abel could already see Liante City on the ground.

So that’s what the “center of the human world” looked like. The city was split in half. There was a giant mountain that served as the border. There was also a very steep cliff, one that had a very grand fort built next to it.

In the inner parts alone, Abel could see a total of 36 magic towers. They were all at least 15 floors in height, and they lined up on the giant pentagons on the ground. The pentagon was a magic circle, a magic circle that was set up in the very center of the city.

There was a very tall building next to this giant magic circle. While it was not as tall as the magic towers, it was still much taller than the other buildings next to it.

After Abel flew to an isolated location, he got on Black Wind’s back and made an “instantaneous movement’ to the ground. Now that Black Wind could perform a total of 5 “instantaneous movements’ in one day, it became very convenient for him if he wanted to get on and off White Cloud.

The entrance he chose was the one from the Kingdom of St. Anwall to Liante City. It was a cavern, which was built on the side of the mountain. The hole of the cavern had ten armored knights to guard it. Whoever made their way in here had to show whatever documents that were required.

Outside the city, there were vendors that were selling various different items. Rather than doing business, however, it felt more like they were treating the people that were coming in and out of the city.

Soon, after following the line, Abel made his way to the entrance.

“Your identity cards, please, sir,” the knight said respectfully after seeing Abel’s mount wolf.

Because of how close he was, Abel could tell that the security guards here were all advanced knights. It was a surprising sight for him. In most cities, advanced knights were supposed to be high-ranking officials. Here, however, they were just normal soldiers that acted as security guards.

“Can I use this instead?” Abel handed his property bond to the knight.

The knight lowered his head even more humbly, “Yes, sir, but if you don’t have any proof of residence, allow me to write one for you. Just come over here, please.”

“Excuse me, then,” Abel bowed to show his thanks. When he followed the knight to a desk, he jumped down from Black Wind’s back.

The knight also jumped down from his horse. He was about 180cm in height. He was pretty tall, but Abel’s even taller stature made him seem kind of feeble. In fact, despite Abel being a lot younger than him, this knight could tell that there was a drastic difference in terms of their skill level.

“May I have your name, sir,” the knight inquired.

“Abel. It’s Abel Harry,” Abel replied. He expected some sort of reaction from the knight or the scribe, but they just got his name down very calmly. After all, there were a lot of Abels in the world. He wasn’t calling himself something like “Blacksmith Abel,” so it made sense that they didn’t really know who he was.

“You have a title, sir?” the scribe asked.

“Well, uh,” Abel thought for a while, then said, “No. Don’t have any.”

The knight and scribe exchanged a look. From Abel’s expression alone, they could tell that something went wrong to him. Still, Abel sounded and acted like a nobleman. After they got the gist of his information, it was not up to them to ask the questions. That being said, they didn’t need to learn about how Abel had lost his title as a viscount or an earl.

“Anything to verify your profession, sir?” the scribe asked.

“How about this?” Abel passed over his rank 3 wizard badge. When the scribe took it over and placed it on a jade, a red light flashed over the badge.

“Your wizard badge has been canceled,” the scribe gave the badge back with a weird look on his face. He didn’t know about Abel’s story, but he felt bad that a young man would lose both his wizard status and nobleman’s status.

“Do I need to show what profession I’m in to make an entrance?” Abel frowned.

The scribe said patiently, “Of course not, sir. I’m just recording some basic details for the city council to manage.”

Abel asked, “Right. Can I re-apply for my wizard status after I’m in the city?”

The scribe nodded, “Of course, sir. Please head to the Wizard Union branch for that.”

Suddenly, a few men in suits walked towards Abel.

“Hey, brother. Can you help me out here? It would be nice if you ah, you know, can get my friends here inside the city. Don’t worry about the pay, man. I’ll make it worth it for you.”

“What do you mean?”

Abel turned around to look. It was a knight that was talking to him. He was about the rank of a knight’s commander. As polite as he sounded, there was a certain cockiness that was in his eyes. He probably saw Abel’s documents. There wasn’t anything on it, so he probably assumed that he was talking to a normal civilian.

The knight’s commander continued to talk, “Didn’t you know, good sir? If you have a property in this city, you can always bring five people inside with you. Don’t worry; we’re not going to stay at your house. It would be a lot of help if you can just get us inside. As for the price…”

The knight’s commander thought after a while, “How about ten thousand gold coins?”

The knight that brought Abel here interrupted, “Very savvy of you, huh? Five company for ten thousand gold coins.”

He then turned to Abel, “My good sir, please! Don’t fall for their tricks! Your house is much more valuable than that! Also, if they bring any trouble to this city, it would be your responsibility. Do you understand?”

The knight’s commander quickly changed his tone, “Alright, alright! Ten thousand, then! That’d be twenty thousand for each one of us!”

“Just go away!” Abel waved the knight’s commander away, “I’m not short on money, so go bother someone else.”

“Oh, you sure about that?” a trace of imposing pressure emerged from the knight’s commander, “That’s ten thousand gold coins, my good friend. You sure you aren’t interested?”

Before the imposing pressure went to Abel, his hand was already grabbing the knight commander by his neck.

“I don’t care what you are, alright?” Abel said in a menacing tone, “I’m in a good mood today, so don’t you ruin it for me.”

Then, he threw the knight’s commander to the ground ten meters away from him. It was like he was throwing a toy or something. The knight’s captain flew away without any resistance.

“Master!”

A voice came as everyone watched in shock. It was Bartoli. She was wearing a black cape and a double magic staff badge in front of her.

“I’m so sorry for being this late, master. I came as soon as you called me, but the line was simply too long,” Bartoli bowed and apologized.

“It’s fine. Come inside the city with me,” Abel said to Bartoli, then turned to ask the scribe, “Can I go in now?”

The scribe replied with a shocked look on his face, “Uh, yeah, yeah! Of course, sir! Here’s your proof of residence! Please, head in any time you wish!”
