Chapter 281 Coh the streets

The carriage afforded them a perfect view of the scenery outside

Dark andand slanted wooden huts, tall fortresses of solid stone, alchemical castles full of mystical elements… everyone felt like they had walked into a city of fantasy They could seethe streets

There were plenty of people walking to and fros These places were extres were too scary and gri into thens that it was hard to even determine their purpose…

It was clear that the Silver Union hadn't set any regulations on these lands after they sold theht it, it was their choice! Turn it into a warehouse? They could do as they like! There was absolutely no proble into a haunted house!

As long as you paid your rent on time, and ensured that your business did not, in any way, compromise the Castle in the Sky, no one cared what you did on your own land

This was probably the main reason for all of the peculiar architecture in the outer circle!

The Castle in the Sky was split into the inner circle, the central circle, and the outer circle The respective areas they took up was in a ratio of 1:3:6 The outer circle had thethe three The total number of shops leased to the non-Union ht

This er amount when split between everyone on the Continent that wanted one of the shops

The demand for land was extremely competitive, especially when you considered the parties involved in the co individuals who didn't belong to any adept organization ere looking for a place to settle here These felloere often powerful Second Grade adepts eren't willing to be subjected to the restraints and obligations of belonging to a group There were even Third Grade adepts a these people

Thus, it was particularly ile inconspicuous person and shop you saw in the outer circle If you had no idea of their background and identity, it was best to not offend theht misstep and you could offend one of these powerful individuals keeping a low profile These people had plenty of tricks up their sleeves to kill you without being found out

The alchemical cart slowly stopped before the Byron Clan's shop

"Two ic crystals!" The alcheue

Greeic crystals in the horse's direction They sed the crystals and slowly galloped away

An apprentice was already waiting on the spot The Byron crest pinned on his chest told Greeht location The apprentice quickly led Greem and his party into the backyard Most of the shops here served several purposes at once The front of the buildings were stores, while the backs were constructed as residences

Byron Materials!

The store's name was simple and efficient The main products of the store were the unique resources froround World In particular, the hteye Stones and Ghost Mushroo for Greem in the backyard Her appearance was fairlywas extre However, what stood out even htly shocked for a moment when he saw her for the first tireet her with the proper adept’s greeting

Even the usually bold and audacious Alice was being respectful She dragged Snorlax all the way to the other side She didn't dare to even eavesdrop on the conversation between the two adepts

"You are the gole, aren't you?!" The fes to Lady Nunnally! I am Greem, an adept of the Sarubo Clan"

"You don't seem to be an esoteric adept!"

"Indeed, my Lady! I ahts on eleus"

"Eles probably aren't as powerful as olems, are they? Do you have any confidence in the esoteric duel this tih the red-robed lady was a Second Grade adept, she was extremely hesitant when it caus has already infor has happened to the duel… "

"Nothing has changed!" The red-robed fe with their conditions There is no e could have accepted them! The duels will continue Now, I ask you, do you have any confidence of beating the eneht?"

"My lady, I wish to take a look at the statistics and abilities of the eneht into it, but didn't give a direct answer

"This is for you!" Lady Nunnally tossed an iid ultiht to think this over GiveIf you are not confident in beating the opponent, ill have to find soet an actual esoteric master to represent us!"

Esoteric olem master as an esoteric oleht be extreole to hire an esoteric master within the Castle in the Sky was a very difficult task! The number of resources and favors that needed to be called in was unbelievable If the Byron Clan had to resort to thisone They would probably have to give up all of the store's income for the next ten years to pay back the debt they would accrue in doing so
