first time in Shrek city 2

-------3rd Pov--------

as Ray got closer to the gate, although he's not devilishly handsome he's quite the looker, and with his newfound love for colors, especially white, he was sure will draw attention, in a positive and negative way, so he just put the hood to lower the attention on him.

passing the gate without problems, he was greeted by a crowded street, with all types of merchandise and stores crowded by all kinds of people, some normal, some cultivator, but the most notable thing is the order and the low crimes. crowds that big bond to drow thievery and robbery, but non was noticed by Ray until this moment.

after walking around and testing some of the streets food, he found a coffee shop close to the academy with a calm atmosphere and very few people, he enters to see a Classique wooden interior with dozen of tables and chairs, and a long bar counter, the side wall replaced by the glass make it possible to see the tree of Shrek academy from the inside.

after ordering a coffee and setting in the island chair, he starts a conversation with Sophia mentally 'what do you think about this city' Sophia just answered in a bored voice 'what there to think? except for the tree you facing and her great connection to this world, I will feel ashamed if I am surprised with anything more than what you show me, and most cultivators that we come across, stronger or weaker than you have hardly touched the purity and density of your soul power.'

nodded at her, Ray add 'i thought so too, but the very connection of the tree, is interesting and I can sense Consciousness in it, and its have similar property if not the same as Our life Tree' Sophia just hummed ' but it's way weaker than ours and not generating a specific type of energy, just purifying, and little generation of all attitude of energy'

he was looking outside in the tree direction, as the Bar Lady put his order "here is your order young man" he look up to see a woman in her 40s smiling at him, but he know very well that she was older, thanks to the high density and level of her soul power,

Ray nodded "thank you" as she was leaving ray took the chance and scan her causing him to almost choke on his drink.

Name: xian song

Rank : super douluo (96)

title: green shadow Douluo

an elder of Shrek Academy and Shrek treasure Pavillion master passes the time either inside the sea god Island cultivating, in the treasure pavilion, or in her privet coffee to observe normal life outside the Academy under the name Lady Yan.

Ps: love to collect treasure and talents for Shrek

-----------------------

Outside Ray was calmly drinking his coffee, which was good by the way, but inside...

'what the hell a pavilion Elder doing in here, and as bartender no less!' Sophia freaked out at his inner squirming 'what happened?' while drinking, Ray observed the coffee shop and found that almost all the visitors have some kind of connection to Shrek, how? almost all the gest here have green or red budgets of Shrek. 'the lady just now, she's the Shrek Treasury pavilion master, and an elder of inner Shrek.

Sophia sighed and said 'what's weird about it? from your memory, the old man sea god pavilion master, the head of Shrek liked to lie down beside the kid's housing, and Saing 'i like the youthful atmosphere around here' so an elder working in coffee not that surprising'

looking at the lady working on other people's orders he chuckled 'yeah, Shrek is really a field with odd people.' going back to his drink and looking at the tree his thinking started to turn back to his own ideas about this world

' looking at that elder song is at the super Douluo level, probably it's almost the time for the Asura eyes generation, but the specific time is unknown, as from what I pick around, the sun moon empire still hadn't made a move at Douluo contain, they are still at the politic level, and the last tournament was 1 year ago with Shrek's inner student win, if my geas is right I have 3 Years until the Plot start'

"How? you like the view, it's Shrek city's best if not the world's best view, most visitors like the view here" looking away from the tree to the source of the voice, he found The elder song clean a couple of cups.

"yeah, good atmosphere, and not many negative things to be said about the city itself, no less expected from Shrek I guess" then he rises an eyebrow asking "but how do you know I am not from the city?" she just chuckled "although I can't see your face, I can see your hand, and brown tented skin is very rare her, I can count them with my fingers. and the way you look at the life tree, anyone who lives here become used to it so they won't enjoy its view while drinking coffee."

Ray nodded and pull down his hood "so the visitor is easy to spot"

but the lady looked at him before nodding "I see why you put your hood up" put down the last cup, before taking her drink and setting down to face him "so what brought you here, if you don't mind chatting with this old lady"

Ray keeps his calm facade 'Ok, that sealed the deal, she definitely senses something in me'

will thinking he answered "of course, as elders world is always full of wisdom" the lady was surprised at his answer but nodded in approval "indeed, but not always in a positive light" she takes a sip of her drink.

Ray just look at her "actually, I am sightseeing while looking for inspiration"

elder title her head to the side "that it?"

never knowing what she expected, Ray nodded in confusion, and she just said "I was thinking that you want to try to enter Shrek academy, taught your age is probably over the limits but they can accept you with how strong you are"

Ray flinch and sighed "how even did you know I am that strong"

the laughing elder answered "will my age is not just for show you know, and although you hide it will l still can sense your cultivation, also you know my level right? so good luck next time"

Ray looked at her "so I was an open book?"

Elder Song just wave her hand "no, I am just stronger than you by miles, just your presence in here rises the tempter normal people and cultivators won't notice, but a strong enough person will pick the change, add with that 'stylish' get up of yours, anyone keen enough will take a second look at you"

Ray put his head on the table "so I was standing up more than hiding"

'Told ya' Sophia said pissing him off 'shut it' as a fact after they entered, Sophia told him to get rid of the hood as he drew more attention with it in daylight but he wasn't willing.

"so care to tell me what you will do next?"

hearing the elder words, Ray raise his head and look at the outside 'right, what next? with my strength now, I can at least hold my ground against soul Emperor, or a little bit higher, and as the moment I don't see risks if I keep low key and worst scenario I can jump to Plana' he looks back at the older thinking 'I hope this won't bite my ass later.'

"can you tell me if there is any property for sale around this place? if it's not a problem of course"

the lady looked at him for a moment and said: "I have one in mind, but are you really not trying to enter Shrek?"
