Chapter 267 Motta City

Four days later

Greem and his party had successfully reached Motta City

As the only public city within a two hundred and fifty kiloanization This was a public territory carved out by the Zhentarim Association

Greeh the clouds, even before he had entered the city

Pale radiance flashed across the grey white toalls Magic halos shone brilliantly all over the tower before rising towards the top of the structure Even though clouds were obstructing his vision, Gree about the top of the tower These dots flew a off froates Guards in black ar for documents in an orderly fashion There werevoices filled the air

Greee appeared to be completely unremarkable when compared the row after row of carts, all filled to the briuard spotted the carriage A short e, bringing with hiuards They quickly cleared the croay and allowed the carriage to move into the city

There was no need for a reason or an explanation The Sarubo crest ee was the best pass anyone could ask for

No one on this massive stretch of a continent had ever tried to impersonate the venerable adepts That was because the consequences were unbearable Death was the best outcorand and beautiful city!

An unending strea carts drove across the stone road All sorts of cargo was piled on the transports, ars, wine, oil, and tea

Greem lifted the curtains and looked outside Men and woue feeling of bizarreness rose in his heart

The population on the Continent of Adepts had long gotten used to their ownimportant people they couldn't afford to offend Greeht be unremarkable, but the adept's clan crest on the side of the carriage was a bright red warning

The crowd turned away fro as far away as they could No one dared to stop the carriage as it thundered through the city

"You and Snorlax go and look for a place to stay and reserve a seat for us on a floating ship I'll pay a visit to the adept's tower!" Greee He pulled the hood over his head to hide his appearance and slowly disappeared into the crowd

The first thing to do when visiting a territory was to pay a visit to the local adept organization This was a tradition and habit of anizations would make some of their adept facilities open to the public This often included a public library

And habitually gathering knowledge was one of theover the fact that she had missed the battle between Greem and the Two-face Adept She had fallen asleep and had not been able to witness the fight with her own eyes She looked on as Greem disappeared into the crowd She propped up her in her pal ships first!"

The coachman Snorlax had transformed into shouted, brandished the horse reins, and drove the horses forward

As a rare public territory within the Zhentarim Area, this place was completely open for any adepts to visit Even adepts that had fallen out of favor in internal conflicts or clan wars could recuperate here, and replenish their stocks of more common adept resources

So new clans would use the public adepts' tower as their stepping stone This would be where they gathered their forces and honed their strength before they obtained a territory of their own They would establish public adept acade apprentices with no proh such a method, they would be able to establish a small force of several adepts and several dozen apprentice adepts in less than a hundred years The next step forward for the a territory of their own They would have to try their best to survive and wriggle between the cracks left by the nuth and numbers

All the useful land within the Zhentarim area was already under the control of the various clans Stealing cruth and power!

Succeed, and they would beco within the Zhentarim area Failure, and the only option left for them would be to retreat back to the public territory They would have to continue ath for their next attempt!

The reason the Black Glove Association had been so active in helping out in the previous clan as for the same reason They too wanted to obtain a land of their own, to raise their flag and to create a clan that belonged to them!

Sadly, the anization had been murdered The Two-face Adept, whose services had cost them, had also failed in their mission This meant that the Black Glove Association's efforts, and their efforts for the past hundred years, had been for absolutely nothing The Second Grade green dwarf Pyro would have to wait another hundred years before he could regain the strength needed to form the Pyro Clan

A Second Grade adept!

This was nificant and ist the adepts!

If such a person wanted to join a clan, he would be warmly welcomed into the core of the clan All sorts of precious resources would go to cultivating and strengthening them

However, even a powerful adept like this one would be hard-pressed to defend against any existing small-sized adept clan if he ever wanted to establish his own clan

With the ahts' plane, Greem could purchase a land of over a hundred square kilometers ithin the Zhentarireedy clans and starving organizations all looking on in interest, as he to use to defend his land after he bought it?

Perhaps the very first one to invade him would be the clan that sold him the land

Resources and territory was extreth to defend your resources and territory was even ressing towards the adepts' tower
