TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

"We are finally arriving !!!" Pargi cried with happy tears in his eyes. He is very excited to finally be able to see the city before his eyes.

The image of a medium-sized city made of stone and wood was before everyone's eyes. The city had an ancient and strange aura.

Unlike cities outside the mine, this city looks more like a fortress made of stone with powerful protective spells.

A large group of people were fighting against the crystal creatures and preventing them from entering the city.

The city had powerful barriers to prevent the crystal creatures, but it cannot be activated all the time, as the amount of energy used is very large. Thus, the city only activates the barrier at critical moments or in the event of an invasion of crystal creatures.

Liu Yang was finally able to stop running with the spear in his hands. The group only needed to walk for less than a minute until they reached where the guards were fighting the crystal creatures.

The group's arrival attracted the eye of the guards, as it was rare for another group to appear after the veterans had already entered the city. But when they saw the designs on the clothes of some nobles in Liu Yang's group, they realized something was going on, but none of them commented.

The guards had to defeat the creatures faster to create the way for the group to enter the city without any problems.

Pargi, Edin, and other nobles put their clothes on with the symbols of their noble families to avoid problems at the entrance. They know that the guards always try to confuse the commoners, so it was the best way to avoid this.

Besides, Liu Yang was already helping some of them, people who had no agreement with him. So they also helped a little.

No one commented on the way and the guards did not disturb them.

"Fellow Garett, we need to go to the entrance to the city. There is an automatic toll there that allows us to enter the city after paying the fee" Pargi said. He never came to town before, but a few other nobles from his family have already.

"Ok" Liu Yang walked towards one of the city entrances. He saw that there was a type of box with a hole in the middle to receive the crystals.

"Fellow Garett, you only need to throw the crystals inside to receive the entry card. The card is valid for a month's stay in the city, so each month you need to pay the entrance fee again to renew the card" Pargi explained.

Aruna had said that before, he just repeated it for safety.

Liu Yang placed a leather bag containing forty crystals of the creatures.

The Pargi and Aruna gave Liu Yang crystals mined from the mine and the crystal creatures. He preferred to use the creatures' crystals because it is worthless.

Ting… Ting…

The box analyzed the crystals, a few moments after, a small glow appeared and a card appeared in the air. The card was made of silver with several strange designs drawn on it.

Liu Yang cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood on the card. The card flashed and marked the drop of blood.

From now on until the next month, Liu Yang was a resident of the city.

The barrier that protects the city has been opened and Liu Yang can now enter.

When he crossed the other side, the barrier closed again so that the next person could enter.

The interior of the city was a little strange. The mood was heavy and deathly.

The buildings were made of wood mixed with stones, many lights shine to attract attention. Within the city, there were restaurants, hotels, brothels, and item stores.

The city was like any other. The difference is that the mood was heavy and deadly.

The place looks like a city full of dangers and everyone is doing their best to stay alert.

The group that came with Liu Yang also entered the city a few moments later. The nobles who were not friends with Liu Yang went to do their thing since they had nothing to do with the group.

"Fellow Garett, I will have to say goodbye to you now. I need to do my thing "Pargi bowed and left.

"Until some other day." Liu Yang said goodbye.

"Let's look for a hotel and rest" Liu Yang pulled Maev with him since the two still had an agreement. Aruna followed the two from behind because she was more likely to survive being with Liu Yang.

The other two commoners that Liu Yang saved earlier, they went their own way.

It was not difficult for Liu Yang to find a hotel. The big signs showed the way.

The hotel that Liu Yang decided was called the Room Inn, the location was common and nothing special.

The people on the first floor of the lodge were commoners, they were eating and drinking while playing with the women.

Liu Yang looked around and did not care about the scene before him, as this kind of thing was normal in the most common places. But it was different for Aruna and Maev, they have never seen anything like this before, men stroking the bodies of half-naked women while eating and drinking.

The arrival of Liu Yang, Aruna, and Maev attracted the attention of men. Two beautiful young women dressed in noble clothes were rare to see in a place like this.

What caught the most attention was Liu Yang, he was wearing casual clothes while he hugged the two noblewomen.

But when they thought there were nobles of the low and upper class, they thought that Maev and Aruna were of low class. Many malicious and perverted looks were being directed at women.

"Dear customers, what do you want?" A tall, thin man appeared at the entrance. He wore butler clothes.

"I would like a room big enough for me and my women." Liu Yang asked. He was embracing the delicate waists of the two women.

"Dear customers, our rooms cost seven crystals of the creatures per night" The butler spoke. He had a sly look on his face.

As he had never seen Liu Yang or the women before, he thought the trio were a group of newbies who just arrived in the city with the veterans some time ago. So he decided to try to trick Liu Yang to get some more crystals from him.

The other customers laughed internally at the butler's words, they knew he was trying to trick Liu Yang.

"I see… So I'm leaving. The other hotel is cheaper" Contrary to everyone's expectations, Liu Yang said directly that he would go to the competing hotel because it is cheaper. He didn't even try to negotiate.

Liu Yang has already been warned by Aruna and Pargi that inside the city is quite dangerous and many dangerous ones hidden. These dangers are people who try to deceive one another.

The same thing happened when the group arrived inside the mine, the veterans tricked the newbies and let them die.
