Chapter 33: Potor City
The planet Taprisha was an extren was part of why the Borrel Autarchy didn’t fight for control of it There were rare resources that could be found at the depths of the oceans of nothingness, but the danger one encountered was rather extre heat fro beasts, to devastating and powerful windstorms created by the laws of the universe
Taprisha had another function, however, that set it aside froes connected to Taprisha
23 separate World Bridges, connecting world after world, all eed from various locations on the surface of Taprisha Taprisha served as one of the better transport worlds if one was trying to get from one place to another quickly
Near each of the 23 World Bridges were massive cities, filled with a countless nus on Taprisha, but, instead, 23 City Lords
Each City Lord controlled a large section of land, holding sway over any other nearby islands and their resources All 23 City Lords were either powerful Wizards or had powerful Wizards under them
Dorian had just arrived outside the city of Potor, and was, oncein a line
"We’ll ride into the city, and then this is where we part ways, sir Dorian&8221; Clarence’s voice was soothing and calm, the type of voice that would fit well on ahiain for the succor you provided us Without your efforts, uards we hired, would have all perished&8221; Dorian’s actions had indeed saved all of their lives Miraculously, despite the attack by Mello’s clones, none of the Aeth warriors had died Several of theent
"It was nothing&8221; Dorian gave hi at his huuely unco as a beast for so long, it was a strange change to look at the world fro to return to his Myyr Dragon form
It was odd At his core, in his previous life, he had been a huht now?
Even Dorian didn’t know the answer to that question
He hts as he waited in line patiently This would be his first ti a city, and Dorian couldn’t help but be rather excited at seeing how people in this universe lived, and how different it would be
Several thousand e could be seen in the late afternoon light If one looked closely at this sht notice that this s in and out of visibility
If one had even stronger eyes, one could see a small, crystalline skull, and a set of odd, transparent feathers The characteristic look of the unusual and exotic creature known as a Crystal Eagle
"That ot here before number eleven&8221; The bird cawed out, its voice twisted and barely understandable
"Still in your Titan forate Trying to cross in a beast form would cause a lot of attention&8221; The bird nodded its head sagely as it floated in space, its eyes piercing doards
"But you stuck with those Aethmen, and other humanoids? My foolish, naive brethren You cannot trust them Perhaps you can still be saved&8221; A twisted smile appeared on the bird’s face
"They are but prey to further our growth to perfection All of the Humans, Aeth prey&8221; The bird shook its head,
"Allow uards at the entrance to the city were sie They were rey leather armor with swords at their waist Several Wizards stood atop the stone gate, looking dohile a single wizard stood with the guards on the ground
The walls of the city were not large at all coe They stood around 13 or 14 , however, stretching an immense distance to coroup ht start, that the Wizard on the ground wasn’t a hurey skin tone, alongside the ave away the fact that he was a vampire The same applied to the Wizards atop the entryway They were all vaht’ He mentally nodded This was the territory of the Aurelius Family It was only natural he’d ht He frowned, wondering what happened to the pair of va&8221; Their caravan reached the front of the line Like before, they underwent a siuards were questioned briefly, as were the merchants
"Oh a Titan, that’s uncos you to Potor City?&8221; One of the guards asked, waving at him casually
Dorian answered the sa to work for the Aurelius Fauard nodded and asked a few h At least he hadn’t needed a bribe to get into the city
Despite the guard’s apparent lack of care, Dorian didn’t fail to notice that, up above, the Wizards standing atop the gate atching everyone with eyes that pierced everything While he wasn’t extreic, at least not in his Titan for spells up there
If he had to wager a guess, it was probably souises or lies, to hunt out crih without a probleh the gates could only be described as a huge shock
People Countless, huge nu back and forth, in every direction He saw huroups of Aethmen, even soe variety of people e, twenty-ht for rey stone, ith tirey stone buildings of a variety of designs could be seen
Many of the buildings had large signboards floating out over them or over the street He saw some that advertised blacksmith services, others for restaurants or eateries, and still others for inns He saw a few shops called ‘Blood Shops’ which he assuic, and a few other, less coredients,he noticed was the noise
It was loud
People were yelling, talking, crying, calling out nuer at people in their way The bustle of wagons or carriages ic, horses, scaled lizards, or other types of fantastic creatures It was a very different sight from even the most crowded of the cities he’d been to back on Earth
Dorian had been living off on his own for several weeks now, in the wild
The sheer shock of transitioning into a crowded and lively city was jarring to him and stunned him for a split second
He snapped out of it quickly, however, regaining his focus
"Thank you, again, for the help you provided us If you need any help while you’re here, please don’t hesitate to find us next to the Heldon Seaiving Dorian directions Behind hih the street while they waited for the wagons to pass through the gateway Their daughter was spinning about, ht her He sent her an approving nod
The Aeth greatly valued loyalty and respect It seeood ih he wondered if that was his soul twisting Fate at play
Even the guard Wizard Lor had corateful nod and a firave theh, more likely than not, he would be out of this city in a day or two Still, the couple was quite nice
After exchanging pleasantries, the Aeth oods in tow The Aeth guards moved with them, their mission incoo with a feeling of satisfaction He had, at the ood That was so to be pleased with
"Hey out of the way!&8221; A rude hu into him as he stood off on the side of the street
Unfortunately for the passerby, Dorian’s body was extree at all, while the
"Are you alri-&8221; The ot back up and, after staring at hi his hands out in a helpless gesture Was he really that scary looking that people were sent fleeing just frorown As a young adult, he looked far closer to a regular hu e would send hi freakishly tall The Titan Wizard that had attacked him had been in a ‘Condensed’ form, his body rown Titan was a hulking ular huan walking down it Several roads branched off the street, leading to other sectors of the city He’d gotten a general overviehat the city was like froo
This was the Main Street of Potor, the first street anyone sahen coh the eastern entrance to Potor City Thousands of shops of various kinds could be found down thisstreet
Most of the the people traveling betorlds
Clarence had recoo down one of the side streets, to the Northern Sector of the city Apparently this area cateredWizards and warriors
He began heading over there with purpose, his eyes glea
The first place he’d check out was one of those Blood Magic shops After all, why go through the trouble of hunting down beasts for their bloodlines when he could just pay for them?
‘Capitalism at its finest’ He nodded cheerfully
"Well?&8221; Ralf Tornstrew looked i in front of hi hiular person And as far as Ralf was concerned, he was just like any other huance of life
They were currently in an alley near the city wall
"The inforave us was accurate&8221; The huettable face and a sht be memorable, but Ralf couldn’t be bothered with it
"He’s a pureblood Titan, with a body that is at least at the Master Class He is young, not a fully grown adult He seems inexperienced&8221; The human continued He was a member of the Potor Scouts Guild, soe band of adventurers ould do anything for gold, well known in Potor
Riff-raff, yes, he ed, but they had their uses Mes with little inforo by It hy Ralf had a Scout on standby at all tihts from his mind, however, as he smiled at the man
"Excellent work&8221; He hesitated for a brief ed, continuing,
"I’ve already paid the guild, you can collect your fees from them&8221; He waved the
He’d sent the Scout out to check if the tip one of his subordinates had received was true Ralf was a vauard duty on the city walls, a punishht e funds for his own experiments He was stuck up there five days a week, for a minimum of 10 years, forced to scan visitors and search for people atte to infiltrate the city
It had already been 2 years since his service began and he was already bored out of hiswas not an option Unless he broke through to the Lord Class, he would be stuck here for years ed That tip the guards had received had been accurate The Titan that was entering the city wasn’t a regular Titan, but a pureblood one with strength at the Master Class, and it was one traveling alone Even better, it wasn’t a Wizard No one would miss it if it disappeared
A pureblood Titan with Master Class blood… Just thinking of how useful that blood could be sent shivers down his spine
The Titan had entered the city with souards had told him Ralf frowned at this It seemed he’d need to tie up some loose ends firstIf you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc ), Please let us know < report chapter > so we can fix it as soon as possible
