The City of Numbers

Ibo Clan one of the most respectful and powerful clans below the big families in the Western Continent with great mathematicians. Hence ended up with the name the Western Demi-gods of Calculations. Their existence is known throughout the Continent with a strong army, strong cultivation techniques, sacred realms or domains and their wisdom.

Sacred domains in planet Elbon were small worlds that were left behind by experts for the younger generation to grow. Some had cultivation manuals and techniques, weapons, magical cores and many more. Some experts left them behind to find successors so that their legacy could continue living. Magical cores were similar to beast cores but the only difference was that magical cores were more valuable.Magical cores were mainly got from magical beasts. Magical beasts were quite different from the others beast because of their capabilities to have elemental abilities just like cultivators and magicians.Magical beasts could only be found in Magical sanctuaries and sacred domains. The higher the heaven and earth spiritual energy the faster the cultivation and the stronger the beasts.Beast cores were values according to the beast tire from which it was obtained.They were used in comprehending elemental abilities by cultivators and others used to forge magical weapons.

Ahead of Hedrick was a big fort built by big bricks and cement forming the words Ibo when seen from an aerial view. Soldiers dressed in military armour could be seen checking everyone entering without exception.

[ TL : There's a difference between vehicles used in Planet Elbon and those here on earth.The difference was that instead of using fuel such as petrol and diesel they used fuel crystals mined from fuel mines. The vehicles in planet Elbon were also faster compared to those here. The speed of vehicles could be compared to the fastest cars and air crafts. There was also no need for roads because all vehicles travelled by air and water.Weapons such as guns, bombs, missiles and rockets could not be used here due to the heavens laws. A missile was no different from a gun without bullets or an empty magazine.So weapons were mainly swords,sabars,spears,bows and arrows and many more. Due to the advanced technology, electric and technological weapons were also manufactured and were equivalent to fifth grade magical weapons.]

"Well let's first enter and look for some nice food."

Upon arriving in the city after being checked was a lively stréet with hawkers, vendors beautiful styled buildings of government offices, shops and pavilions.

He then headed to the most popular restaurant in the city.As a son of from the Johnson family, how on earth could he fail to afford a good meal.In front of him was a building reading " Mouth of Eden Restaurant. He then moved and went to the second floor where few people were.

" Well let's try out what the best restaurant in the City of Numbers."

" Sir, welcome.What do you wish to eat or have?"a middle aged waiter welcomed him.

" What's on Menu."Hedrick inquired as he headed and sat down on a table next to the window.

" Sir, I guess you are new here and you have never been to this city.'' said the waiter as he inspected Hedrick from head to toe.

" Ohh... why do you say so?" asked Hedrick curiously.

" Looking at your dressing, you should be a school student from Canopy Country, Mentrol from the circular badge on the margins of your clothes. Your should be from quite a wealthy family but chose to dress ordinarily if we are to look at the wrist band and hair quality. Lastly the bow and arrows don't have the Ibo craftsmanship. Lastly everyone in Ibo Clan knows that this restaurant only serves three dishes. Noodles,Beast meat and source and the Early dew tea. Considering all those factors, I concluded you are not a native and it's your first time in this place."

" Wow! I'm impressed. Not many people can impress me. It had been years since I last saw and heard such analysis. Ibo Clan leaves up to its name. I'll take the best of all the three dishes you serve."

" Okay sir." the waiter bowed and left.

A few moments later, the dishes were served and a sweet aroma spread through his nostrils intoxicating him with a crazy appetite.

"Enjoy your meal sir."

" How much is the bill.?"

" Ten third class high grade beast cores."

" Pretty experience I can say." Hedrick said with a smile as he stretched and pulled a money cloth sachet out of his robes and gave it to the waiter.

" But sir there are excess..." said the waiter before he was cut off mid way the sentence.

" You can have it all. In addition I think someone going to break your property soon helping you earn more than that. I'm I right,owner of the Mouth of House of Eden or should I call you waiter."said Hedrick with a smileand then began eating his meal.

" Thank you sir." the middle aged man finally said as he pulled out a silver card and placed it at the table after a moment of shock.

" Please come again. What did you mean in the last statement? " the man asked but came no answer.

A few moments later, a group of youth dressed in wealthy garments entered the restaurant. Having looked around, a youth dressed in green robes spotted the table where Hedrick was sitting and headed towards it.

" Hey you! Move away from this table." the youth said arrogantly but no response or reply could be heard.

'' Hey you! Are you deaf. Boss said move away."one of his lackeys shouted.
