"Mr. Ophis, I found two suitable temples that you might be interested in, all located in different places within the Great Dome located in the deeper parts of the borderlands... Please look here, and tell me which one you want to have as your permanent dwelling."

Akeem said to which Ophis replied.

"Only two?"

"Sadly, Shrines are rather rare these days, seeing that we live in a Godless world, but still these two Shrines are a big catch for sure, I'm confident one of the two will be to your taste."

Mentioned Akeem as he nods his head, in affirmation. As he was perfectly confident that one of the two temples being offered would interest him.

However! Ophis on the other hand, inwardly sighed, as he said.

"Well, I hope you are right!"

With that said Ophis began to look at the different temples available to him on the screen.

The first one was located on the Northern Borderlands mountain and is said to be 6 miles up, its also called Mount Abez, it was given that name by the locals because, in the past, many devil worshipers use to worship a demon by the name of "Abezethibou" However the cult was thoroughly destroyed by the previous rank one mutant before the current, about fifty years ago. Now all that is left where the demonic temples. Although the locals were still present there.

That was what Akeem explain to Ophis who was now looking at the screen, there he saw a rocky mountain with weird-looking temples made from sand, the temples were carved neatly and it was beautiful indeed, the way it was made was akin to a small city similar to the Babylonian design.

And the cost of this mountain was $34,000,000,000 and that was because it was on a 45% discount.

The price was indeed high, but the description said that there might be many ancient sacred treasures worth a fortune hidden amongst the many graves of the mountain's underground catacomb. The mountain itself can be dated back to 5,850 years ago, so it's a historical masterpiece in a way.

"So what do you think about the first choice, not bad right?"

Ophis looked at it and began to think, and after thinking he had concluded that this place was large, and it also had locals, amongst that it also had an underground catacomb that he could explore, he might even make a high fortune off of it, but still, that was only a big maybe. Then and again, it didn't possess a suitable habitat that was to his liking, so Ophis shook his head and replied.

"Don't get me wrong, it's a nice offer, but I want something more beautiful, and if possible something with a residence that doesn't resemble detailed sand castles.

"Hmmm... I see, well this next one might catch your interest, it's the cheapest of the two, but also the most beautiful location amongst the two, although it's also the most dangerous, and because it's dangerous, it's rather special"

Akeem stated as he continued the explanation of the next mountain.

"Next we have Violet Sakura Mountain, this mountain is both beautiful and vastly larger than the previous mountain, it possesses a large forest, and the environment is rather rich with herbs and wildlife in the lower parts of the mountain making it a diverse place to settle down if you are someone that loves nature"

"The upper section of the forest, however, is mostly filled with Violet Sakura trees, these trees are so poisonous to the point that one milligram of it is enough to make a normal blue whale foam from its mouth in a matter of seconds, the villager lives mostly at the button of the mountain, and they are known for using the leaves of the Voilet Sakura trees to make poison base weapons, seeing it's a blacksmith village as well."

"Strangely enough though this would be the ideal place for you seeing that the temples at the top of the mountain were used to worship various ancient Mayan Gods, the most prominent being Quetzalcoatl who was revered as a snake deity just like you, however, they don't have such titles like yourself, according to history Quetzalcoatl was called the "Feathered One" among the Mesoamerican people."

Akeem mentioned with great detail, looking at it, this world also seems to have indigenous people in their world as well, which was kind of interesting.

Ophis look on to see the giant stone city surrounded by greenery that was once ruled by ancient Mayans, large Pyramids which were sleeper and more ornate, and made from lime mortars were present everywhere, and unlike the Egyptian's pyramids, the majority of them were lot smaller.

The area had many trees, and it was located at the top of the mountain, as thousands of Violet Sakuras surround the place, around the great walls of the ancient city.

The building was red and yellow, and it had many things such as several pyramids, sacrificial alters, fighting arenas, a Pok-A-Tok court, a vast amount of ancient palapa houses made from wood and dry leaves, along with other stone structures, and farmland.

The city wasn't large like the modern-day city but it did stretch about two miles across, both in width and length, you can even see beautiful cocoa trees and coconut trees with a variety of greenery blanketing the land, the main pyramid at the center was extra large about 50 meters up.

Ophis smiles at this, he could feel it, this was the place for him, his senses never fail him, and these ancient Aztec temples suited the Nagasaur's need to be surrounded by nature.

Although he is a little shocked as to why it was being sold for such a cheap price.

It was being sold for $12,000,000,000 and the size of this mountain was 18 miles up, and above sea level, making it the highest mountain in T-City and also the fifth-highest mountain in the world, if anything this mountain makes Mount Everest looks like a child when you compare the size. It was 192 miles away from the association and deep in the borderlands.

Ophis looked at Akeem and questioned.

"Why is this marvelous place so cheap?"

Akeem's response to this question was simple.

"The locals there are insane, they are cannibals, despite being such excellent blacksmiths, although they have some sense of modernity left to them... This fact scares buyers to no end, so in a morbid sense, we couldn't sell this place, because everyone was too afraid to live amongst them, then and again, the animals there are built differently and highly poisonous."

"You have to be insane to live there, and with all honesty, it was being sold as a piece of art, and yes this ruin has never been touched by modern hands, more than that it's not an actual place to live in... That and the fact the borderlands are dangerous since it's outside T-City's watchful eyes."

This was the selling point for Ophis, it is quiet, he could do suspicious things there without being watched, and also it was the perfect place to start his religion without being disturbed, in layman's terms, rejecting modernity's return to Monke had never been more meaningful.

Ophis didn't need to think twice, he already made up his mind.

"Association Head. Buy that place immediately, I want it, and just so we are clear, that mountain mines, I would prefer you humans to inform me ahead of time before you decide to drop by and disturbed me in my sanctuary, am I clear?"

Akeem inwardly sighed as he replied.

"Transparently so, but before that, here."

Akeem said as took off a weird wristband that fits his entire hand, it was a black device with a screen on it.

Ophis of course look at him and question.

"And what might this be?"

Akeem smiled and responded as such.

"That is called an "information terminal" With it you can buy things online, communicate with others, and constantly receive information about your surrounding area, it's the eyes, ears, and mouth of a Mercenary, Lucky for you that's an ancient artifact from the old world, unlike other information terminals that thing can locate enemies in a 500-meter radius, I have already set up a bank account for you as well, now tonight you will receive a message from me with a unique link that will lead you to a special store with large discounts as requested, it as special service only you have, with this I feel assured we can do business freely."

After Akeem said that, Ophis looked at his hand with interest, this was a Celebrium but a Walnutmark version.

However, it was enough to entertain him at least, satisfied with the treatment he nod of his head in approval, and said.

"I'm pleased human, now then, please give me the deed to my mountain, and I will be on my way."

And like that, Akeem purchase the Violet Sakura Mountain, and minutes later he got the deed in Ophis name, he also sign it as well; as the co-signer of course, and after all the necessary paperwork was done he send Ophis the deed digitally via his information terminal, and made sure he backs it up in the Association System just in case some moron wanted to seize this property from Ophis through nefarious means.

And like that, Ophis heard a notification sound, informing him he complete the mission.
