Chapter 625: Abode

Showing Alf Nas an elemental crystal was Jason's way to figure out if they were rare.

As such, seeing the faint glint of interest in Nas' eyes made it clear to Jason that Lique ranked elemental crystals were a rare sight, but nothing to be shocked about.

This may be different with high-quality Prismar ranked elemental crystals, or the element ores he had mined for a long time, but that did not matter right now.

After Alf said that he could rent a room for at least one week with a single elemental crystal, Jason nodded his head, thanking him for letting him accompany their group throughout the journey before he walked out of the Inn once again.

Despite being able to lodge a room, this was not something he wanted to do right now.

There were too many things he had to figure out, and finding ways to increase his wealth was a high priority.

Jason wanted to read the aura technique provided by the City lord at least once or twice.

To do this, he wouldn't have to purchase the complete technique, but to rent it for half a month or longer.

The rent was pricey enough, and Jason figured that he should do the best out of his current situation.

Because of that, he decided to use the three auxiliary techniques he hadn't been using for quite some time!

Forging a weapon out of the element ores should give him a profit worth several times that of a normal weapon, while the potions he could concoct with the elemental crystals were extremely rare.

He only had to figure out what kinds of potions and types of weapons were high in demand.

After that, he could try producing them.

Jason knew that the number of rare potions and unique runes he had was small, but that was something he could build up with the fortune he would receive by selling his manufactured goods!

Excited to forge, concoct and inscribe runes once again, Jason immediately started to search for a small hall to rent.

It was also possible for him to enter a weapon shop, and ask whether they would allow him to use their smithy to forge. But, Jason wanted to use his own forge, to begin with, and running from a smithy to an alchemy room was even more annoying.

In a hall, he could simply place things however he wanted, using the space he had efficiently.

With that in mind, Jason passed by the several Blacksmith, Alchemy, and Inscriber- halls and organisations, without another backward glance.

He only had one goal in his mind, yet, the moment he passed a huge pagoda, Jason instinctively stopped.

Through his mana eyes, he could see the energy fluctuations of more than a thousand unique objects.

Raising his head he saw the signboard of the pagoda which was simple, yet impactful because the pagoda he was looking at, was in fact, the City's auction house!

This was interesting, and Jason made a mental note of the fact.

The auction house could come in handy, but after observing the unique objects that were in the pagoda, Jason decided that it would be best to divert his focus on the task he had given himself.

Even after roaming through the city that seemed to be endless to run through by foot, Jason didn't feel impatient or that he had to rush everything.

Rather, he felt extremely relaxed right now, thinking that there was no reason for him to be impatient or overly tensed up.

Right now, everything was still calm, and the problems of the humans on Manyr, or that of the Devir and Aeus were not his, to begin with.

Nevertheless, Jason was not someone who slacked off.

Instead, it was possible for him to be even better at doing everything because he was relaxed and quite happy with his soulbonds around.

Artemis, Petri, and Solaris wanted to leave the soul world right now, but Jason had to deny them permission to do so until he had found a place to rent a hall.

This was another reason for him to ignore going to one of the three Auxiliary occupation halls, or similar organisations- they had no place for his soulbonds.

Other than that, Jason wanted his soulbonds and the fact that he had a soul world, to be a secret for now.

He wasn't sure how long he could keep it a secret, but for now, this was important to him.

Upon reaching a place with many similar-looking halls that had the outer appearance of old traditional buildings, Jason entered the large lands that were encircled by a thin stone wall.

The wall appeared to be ordinary from the outside, but Jason knew that this was by no means the case.

As such, seeing the distinct energy fluctuations and hue radiating from the stone wall, he knew that he had reached the right place.

Looking for the person in charge, Jason had to insert more mana in his Emperor Eyes, allowing him to see further.

The entire territory encircled by the stone walls was extremely large, and could roughly be the size of entire cities on Argos.

However, instead of being shocked about the size, Jason found it rather inconvenient to see everything with his eyes.

Walking on the plastered path, he looked at everything with newfound interest.

The halls he saw were built of rare materials, releasing strong energy currents that were even denser than most of the buildings belonging to the Aeus and Devir race.

This astonished Jason a little bit, and the further he advanced, the denser the energy currents around him became as the entire environment seemed to change.

As he continued to walk ahead, the buildings began to thin, while the mana in his surrounding became denser.

Even after having spent around ten minutes wandering through the stone encircled territory, he came across no one.

Hence, Jason couldn't help but question if there was even a living being inside this encirclement to begin with.

He had to find at least one with whom he could talk to ask whether he could rent one of the halls.

He didn't need the high-energy-dense buildings that could be used to cultivate at a rapid speed, and the first one he saw would be more than enough.

However, Jason figured out that everything was definitely more complicated than he had assumed.

'I should have purchased a city guide script Why do I feel like I entered a Lion's lair?!'

This thought intensified even further when he noticed that the entire surrounding had an overgrowth of trees, bushes, and Jason could even see beasts all around!

Because of that, his discomfort only increased because the beasts he saw were all at the Ascendion stage, at the bare minimum.

Nevertheless, with no single individual from an intelligent race around, Jason's belief that the service of the lodging place was bad, dispersed.

Now, it was replaced by the question of whether he had inadvertently intruded someone's home.

'What the hell am I even doing right now?!'

Worried of having trespassed someone's territory, he only shook his head while trying to find a solution to his predicament

Suddenly, just at that moment, Jason felt a strong gust of wind hit his face, forcing him to close his eyes as his other senses perceived the appearance of more than three beings at the Ascendion stage.

A moment later three razor-sharp blades touched his neck, as a cold voice asked him.

"Variant, what is the reason for your intrusion into the City lord's abode??"
