Chapter 278
Chapter 278 Sigma City
The adepts flew for another seventy kilometers before arriving at the first city under the rule of the Silver Union- Sigma City.
As one of only two entrances into the Silver Union’s territory, the magnificence and liveliness of Sigma City was beyond compare. Even adepts from prestigious clans in the central area would drop all their arrogance and pride and use their utmost effort to learn of all the rules and regulations within the Silver Union’s territory.
Greem had gained a basic understanding of the situation on the way here.
The Silver Union’s territory stood at the west coast of the continent, and there was one group of individuals you should never offend while you were here. The silver-robed Union adepts.
Of course, if you were confident in your ability to kill a silver-robed adept without being discovered… Greem saw plenty of those small watchtowers along the way. There were also numerous mysterious spherical constructs patrolling in the air.
All of these appeared to be part of a massive security system.
It was pure fantasy to even dream of killing a silver-robed adept without being discovered.
Greem’s gaze wandered about the shops by the side of the road as he walked.
A florist, tailor, grocery store, leather dealer, pharmacist, a pet store…
Greem even saw an interesting shop on the way. Tolson’s Lost and Found. It was a small business that helped citizens find their lost possessions using divination magic. The owner of the store was an advanced apprentice. Clearly he was looking to use his magical talents to earn a little pocket money!
The florist shops, on the other hand, didn’t sell ordinary flowers. It wasn’t roses, tulips, or blue lilies that they sold. Rather, the products they offered were adept resources. These were things like Glowmoon Flowers, Solar Flowers, Golden Ginseng, and Dragonbone Grass. These plants were either useful for apprentices’ meditation, cultivating and improving bloodline powers, or were just common materials used by potions apprentices…
The tailor’s also sold apprentice and adept robes with special magical enhancements. They even sold some adept storage tools within their shops.
The leather dealers bought the corpses and skins of magical creatures from the adventurers or apprentices. They also paid for the blood, bones, and flesh of these magical creatures.
The flesh of magical creatures was imbued with elementium. As long as the poison could be extracted from their flesh, the meat would be a perfect magic-infused material for cooking. The bones could be carved into simple decorative ornaments and accessories with the proper work put in. These accessories would have certain magical powers.
While adepts would never need such weak items, they were considered precious and valuable objects by apprentices and the nobles.
Greem finally understood, after a walk through the streets with Alice and Snorlax. As the eastern entrance into the Black Forest, Sigma City only sold resources targeted at the middle class. Ordinary citizens would never be able to afford these items.
Greem shook his head in pity after a quick tour.
These resources might be useful for Alice, but they were too ordinary and common for a true adept. It seemed there was probably a particular place where adepts went to trade when they were looking for resources.
Greem turned and looked at the massive adept’s tower standing at the center of the city. He turned to leave some simple instructions with Alice and tossed a magic crystal card her way. Greem then left Alice and Snorlax to their own devices as he headed in another direction.
