21 To The City - 2

After thinking through , the young man nodded again and Lati sighed , seeing that he remained the same , the blue haired woman took out a old thin manual. " This is from one of my adventures , I already have a cultivation technique that was passed down by my family so you can take your times with it." Nodus took a bite of his food and scanned the book. " Thank you. " He passed the book back to the puzzled Lati and went back to his bed. Huh? The family and little girl did not bother the young man anymore as he was always acting on his own and was a very mysterious child.

"Mom ,I always wondered , does Nodus come from one of those moons?" The moons that the little girl was talking about were the highest floating continents of this world, they were so high that it was almost impossible to see them during the night as they are rotating on the surface of the planet atmosphere , many people tried to fly there in the past but only few made it. The few who made it are either extreme experts or ancient beast , so no one would dare to ask them questions. " I am not sure dear.. I only heard about someone coming down from the moons once and that was all in the legends.." The little girl nodded and kept eating. With everyone satisfied with their full stomach , Lati told the elves that they were going into the capital city of trades on the northern border and that she would bring them there."Aunty.. does big brother Nodus hates us?" Said Mimi as she held her sister's hand. "No.. that child Nodus is busy cultivating and he even spoke less words with us than you. " Convinced , the elves cheered up as they went to bed. Ali and Luru were sleeping together while Lili and Mimi were on the highest level on the opposite side of Nodus.

"Look big sister , aunty is right , big brother Nodus is really busy" The little girl whispered to her sister's ear as she slept on the edge of the bed. "Shh , don't bother Mr Nodus.." Lati plans were to wake up early and leave before the sun even rises and with the new windshield , they could move aslong the horses are well rested. "Z1 , Register that book into Mana Cultivation. " Nodus did not practice it yet as his plans were too get as much manuals he could and fuse them together flawlessly. Even if the manual was passed down by a legendary expert , Nodus won't practice it unless it has little to no mistake. I should register for that magic academy with them... Times to get some real sleep this times.

The young man felt into a deep , deep sleep as he only slept for less than 6 hours ever since he woke up from the crash. As the night goes by , something snuck into Nodus blanket.

"What did Amy tell you?" The couple who were still sitting in the driver seats were quietly talking to each other. "She said as long we reach the city , she would repay us back but I declined , apparently they are all part of the same group and they do any kind of missions from tracking to escorting.." The wife explained to her husband that it was most likely that there was still a accomplice of those people within the Guild. To have your mission approved , you must past a simple interview that involve proving your identity and reasons. The assassin most likely said he would give them a share if they can get a group of elves to take on the mission.

"Hmm.. if that person in the guild is a human.. things would get serious when Lili and the rest report to the guild leader." The Guild was one of the biggest organization followed by the Black Smith , Magic Craft and Commerce. While the organization specialize in certain of things , the Guild was mainly for anyone since a mission could go from a house cleaning to slaying a dragon. "If a worker from the guild is guilty then they will just get rid of them , I am sure it won't turn into a big deal." The husband knew more about guild since in the early parts of his life consisted solely of adventures. Lati did not bother to over think anymore and went to sleep with her husband in one of the empty beds.

Ughh... Feeling a familiar sensation , Nodus slowly opened his eyes as the sun shine through the ceiling glass. The sight of a young elf laying on his chest puzzled him at first as he did not know what should he do and after thinking about it , Nodus simply went back to sleep without a single care since he wasn't uncomfortable even with Shishi tail on his face.

"Brother Nodus! Breakfast times!" Ali who copied Mimi climbed up the ladder as she yelled his name." O!" The little girl had her mouth open with a shocked expression. Mimi who heard the yell slowly sat up and greeted Ali. "Good morning Ali.." The young elf was still rubbing her eyes and talked to her friend as if nothing happened. "Mimi! What are you doing in Brother Nodus bed?" Mimi tilted her head as she was confused. " Why not..? Big brother is comfortable.." Ayeh.. I didn't get to sleep with Nodus yet but Mimi already did on her first night. The little girl climbed down the stairs in defeat while Mimi tried to wake up Nodus.

"Big brother , wake up!" Nodus reopened his eyes and covered her mouth. "Wake me up when we arrive to a town or city..." The young girl could only nod and left the room. As Mimi arrived at the main room , Lili hurriedly toward her and scolded the younger sister. "Mimi! Why did you go and bother Mr Nodus" "Way to go Mimi!" Amy was whistling at the sibling as the rest laughed at her comment while Mimi was confused. "My my.. it's okay Lili , Nodus did not say anything so it should be fine right." Lili nodded with a sad expression and went back to the table. "Is Nodus not coming? " Luru was wondering why did the young man not show up yet as they were all waiting for everyone before eating.

"Mhmm Big brother Nodus said to wake him up when we arrive at a town or city." "Wow..He sure can sleep!" Amy , the warrior of their group was already gobbling on the food as Cucu reprimand her. "You are the one to talk! You'll sleep for an entire day if no one wakes you up for food." As the lively mood settles , Lati and Naire were in the front while the rest were just playing an old card game that Luru brought out from her ring. "When do you think we will arrive?" Naire who was more familiar with the road replied confidently ."In about 12 Hours , we should arrive by noon and perfectly in times to meet your cousin." Lati nodded as her cousin was a teacher in the academy and she would only be home around noon , when the school was over.

As the hours pass by , the group went back and laid on the beds as they stared out of the window. "I can see the walls!" Amy yelled as she saw a dim light through the blizzard that was hung up high. Everyone gathered in the main room while Mimi went to wake up the young man. "Big brother Nodus , we are here!" The young elf shook Nodus and got a surprise as the young man sat up instantly. With his face a breath away from her , Mimi blushed in red and pointed at the window. "B..big brother.. you can almost see the wall of Enlin city from here. The young man nodded and crawled to the window. After lifting the wooden curtain , Nodus was greeted by a gigantic wall that was at least 100 meters tall with torches all around at the top .

Looking down , Nodus could see a big decent gate that was made out of metal while the wall was completely stacked up with stone bricks. Looking at the size , Nodus asked Mimi who was behind him if this was a city and why was it this big. "Big brother doesn't know?? Enlin city is a capital city , not a regular one , that's why their walls are 100 meters high." The young man went down the bed and walked to the main room with Mimi behind him. When Lili saw the young man , she quickly stood infront of him and bowed down. " I am sorry Mr Nodus , my sister bothered you again.." "It's fine , she was very warm." The young man just shook his head with a simple reply as he went to the front room . Nodus was already used to his sister and the princess sneaking into his bed during his sleep. "Nodus! Look , that's one of the biggest commerce city! The Enlin city." Naire pointed at the gate as he admired the tall walls that protected the city. As the young man sat behind them , Lati turned around and inquired about the cultivation technique . "En.. It was really easy to read , thank you." Read..? but you didn't even open the book... The couple gave up thinking and simply went along with his words. " Why is this city known for trades?" Lati turned around again with Naire as they explained that the northern land has many undiscovered ore mines and all they trade for is basically food. If one could bring food to Enlin to sell , then he would practically make the double or triple of the original amount and with the huge source of ores , the city would buy them with food and sell them for money. " I see , what is the most optimal transport in this continent? example.. for this northern land , is there a lot of transport options?" Seeing that this was the first times the young man spoke plenty of words , the couple looked at each other in shock. "Eh... Most of them are simple carriages.. Unlike this one.. I am completely certain that the nobles would pay a huge amount of gold for this carriage. " The wife agreed with her husband statement as she added. "The northern lands would pay even more for this carriage because they can only travel when the storm dies down." Knowing that the continent pretty much just use the same carriages , Nodus was thinking of a plan for his future organization. " What about magic artifact transports? " "Some people has flying carriage and warships.. but those are only for the elites of the elites.. Only a master magic crafter could build them with a master black smith..The amount of flying transport could be counted in one hand in this entire continent." The reason why the flying artifact were so rare was because of one component , the artifact requires at least a supreme rank magic beast crystal for the warship and it could fly for 7 days while the carriage only needed a ultimate rank crystal as it was a hundred times smaller and could fly for 10 days. The amount of gold required to buy a supreme crystal was at least in the hundreds of millions while ultimate were around the tens of millions. The crystal were useful for other things such as weapon and cultivation supplement and they were also few in numbers in the market which make them extremely rare.

As I thought.. That's why they made a big deal out of Sasha anti air armor , opening an air company would make a lot of money for sure...An idea quickly formed in his head as he looked toward the gate of opportunities.
