Ultron In A Cultivation World

Chapter 22 - 21: Gathering Info

I withdrew my arm into my cloak and took out 20 bronze coins and handed it to the guard. After paying the Entrance Fee, I was gesture to move forward into the city. I started walking with my Sentries into the human city

As we enter the city of Zalos, I see the main street which is 20 feet wide big enough to fit two wagons. There are a bunch of shops on both sides of the street. I could see a bunch of wooden signs hanging in front of the shops which had an image and the shop's name on it. Some of the signs have a image of a plate with a fork and knife on both sides of the plate; a shield and two swords crisscrossing each other and etc. It looks like the common people of this world can't read the words of their language.

As my Sentries and I walk down the main street, everyone on the street was moving out of our way. As I head towards the center of the town, I could see a castle in the middle of the city but I stopped. I pointed towards a man walking on the street who looks to be a patrolling guard since he is wear the same kind of armor as the Gate Guards.

"Hey you, we are looking for a place to sell the materials and meat of some creatures we killed" I said

"AH. T...th…that depends, if you want to sell some meat, you can sell it to any of the restaurants on the main roads. If you have claws and skin you can sell it to a tailor or Blacksmith or Weapon and Armor shop also located on the main roads." said the Patrol Guard

"Ok, where can I get information and do you have a Mercenary or an Adventurer's Guild here?" I asked

"Huh...what is an Adventurer's Guild? We do have a Mercenary Guild, if that is what you mean. The Mercenary Guild is near the center of the city. You can find it by its sign. It's an Dragon holding a sword and spear in its claw " said the Patrol Guard

"Alright. Does this city have a library or a book shop?" I asked

"We do have a small book shop, its on the East side of the city." said the Patrol Guard

"Thanks" I said. After giving my thanks, I walked away from the Patrol Guard and headed to the book shop in the East side of the city. It took my Sentries and I 20 minutes just to get to the book store because the street were crowded with people and wagons. The book store was a two story building with a sign with the image of an opened book. I opened up the door, and I see four bookshelves containing roughly 300 books, I am guessing.

At the back of the store is a counter with a beautiful blonde hair woman in a magician robe behind it who was reading a book. At the same time I saw her, she looked up from book and spotted me and my Sentries in cosplay. She gave us a puzzling look like she was saying 'who the hell are these guys'. My Sentries started to spread out to the bookshelves and started roaming the books and searching for anything that could give me information about this world I am in.

I just stood there waiting for my Sentries to find books on things I could use to know more about the World. While I stood still waiting, the book store girl was looking at my Sentries with curious eyes. It was like she was fascinated by us but I didn't think it mattered.

After waiting for 15 minutes, my Sentries were able to find 7 books and a map that seem to have useful information of the world while the other books are like romance, fantasy and adventure books you would see back in my world .

{A History of the Ark World Vol. 1-5} - Tells the History of the Ark World

{The Six Races of Ark World} - Gives details about the characteristic, cultures, and religions of each of the six races.

{The History of the Three Kingdoms of the Hou Continent} - Tells about the history of the Three kingdoms that rule or the Hou continent where Humans, Dwarves/Gnomes and Beast People live.

{Map of Hou Continent}

After confirming the things I wanted, my Sentries and I walked up to the counter and placed the books and scroll on it.

"I would like these books and map." I said to the Book store girl who looks like a magician

"Oh, now would you? Why are you buying books that have information about our world and the Hou Continent, it seems like you are buying these books because you don't know anything about our world? said the Book store girl

After hearing here said that, I was shocked.

'How is this girl able to guess my secret. Is this what people said about a woman's intuition being super scary.' I thought

"No, I am buying these books for my book collection and the map is because I lost my last map" I said calmly

"Hmmm....alright." Said the book store girl "The books and map will cost you 4 silver coins and 5 bronze coins."

"Ok" I said while staring at the girl. I took out the money pouch out of my cloak and paid for the books and map.

After paying, I had one of my Sentries grab the items and started walking out.

"If you ever want to talk about this world and know more about it Mr. Mysterious, just come back anytime. My name is Riana" said Raina the book store girl

I suddenly stopped in my tracks for a second before exiting the book store.
