Chapter 8 |Buying information |

"One, two, three, four, five,., oh and there's... hmm.. That one's suspicious,, is he also one of them."

As kryll was counting the group he saw that there was another guy who was also hiding beneath the bush. From the looks of it he did not look like he was with the robbers. Kryll assessed their strength, two of them were in the late stage of Qi refining realm while another two were in the peak Qi refining realm. While the leading guy in front was in Natal realm. From the looks of it, Kryll came to a conclusion that he had recently just advanced judging from the disturbed Qi he was leaking.

Finding it a hassle he silently fled away.

The guy who was hiding slowly emerged from his hiding place. He was waiting for Kryll to try attacking them but since he ran away it was up to him to clean the mess. He was a Late stage Natal realm expert hence the people in front of him were not able to touch a hair on him.

He originally wanted to clean as soon as he arrived but before he began Kryll had alerted the enemies.

After killing them off, He looked towards where Kryll had left for and gave a small smile before he disappeared as well.

At the gate of the city, Kryll stared at the huge wall in front of him. Beside him was a long queue waiting to get into the city. He went and approached a guy at the back and asked

"Brother, I'm new here, and I want to know if the queue to enter the city has always this busy."

The guy looked at him without saying anything. Seeing his blank look Kryll pat his shoulder and said,

"Brother, take this money and tell me what is currently happening."

This time the stranger responded in excitement.

"The current situation is not something that happens every day."

He continued on.

"Today is the 13th birthday of the princess. The prized jewel of the empire so there's going to be a huge celebration."

"They even called peasants to attend the party?"

Kryll was confused and blurted out. But the other party quickly reprimanded him saying

"DO NOT BLASPHEMY THE ROYALS! Of course, we are not qualified to sit together with the royals."

"Then why's there such a crowd?"

Kryll asked in confusion again.

This time, irritated the guy snatched the money from Kryll and said one final information.

"As you are a generous acquaintance, take this as a final piece of words. We artisans are all flocking to the Imperial City in order to win the prizes being given out in the Artisans selection tournament. Now that I've told you about it,.,. off you go,.,. now shoo"

After explaining everything he knew to Kryll he went to get his pouch only to find it empty.

Now he knew where the young man had got the money from and by the time he realized, it was already too late Kryll had already left the area.
