At the entrance of the city, there was a large storage unit. It was a single large hanger like place with several guards stationed outside. They had decided to leave everything to Bob. After paying a small fee they were able to leave the carriage inside the hanger leaving Bob to receive a tagged key for it.

As they walked around they realised that it was a town unlike one they had ever visited before. It didn’t have the same type of new technology that Avrion was running on, but it did seem like they had technology that was not yet available to the public on the outside. The only place they could think of that came close to it, was the merchant city Kelberg.

However, there were things here that they had never ever seen before. The lighting for the underground city was just as good outside if not better. Although it did give off a strange white colour that they had to get used to.

The ground wasn’t just flattened out, but also covered with stones in a strange pattern. There were streets with houses and buildings that rather than being just plotted randomly, you could tell that they were placed with care and were well thought out.

The group also didn’t see a single market stall. If you wanted to buy anything they had a shop for it. The people area here were also special as well, in the street, there were mixtures of what looks to be like, Mages, Nobles, adventurers and even some people wearing masks.

“What’s that for?” Ray asked looking at the few odd people wearing masks.

“Most likely that person is a high ranking official, while he is here wishes to hide his identity,” said Bob.

But what shocked Ray the most was the guards that were standing out and about. They were the same guards that were also at the storage unit from before. There was nearly a guard at every street corner, wearing some type of dull yellow and silver armour. They caught Ray’s attention due to the fact that he was unable to tell how strong they were through using his dragon eyes.

It was the same with the black knights at Avrion. Their armour suppressed their aura meaning they were quite skilled. The town was nearly as large as a city, and if it was on the outside and were official, it would have probably been classified as a city. With a guard at every step and most likely more guards stationed somewhere else, there were a lot more yellow knights then black knights at Avrion.

“Why does he need to hide his identity?” Jack asked.

“This place is full of the richest people from all over Bronzeland. People think on the outside that Kelberg is the real merchant city of Alure but that isn’t true at all.” Bob explained. “Nearly every product that gets released to the mass has gone through this city first. The people who chose to live here and make business here are free from taxes, so it definitely attracts those from above. But that’s not the only thing sold here, secrets from other kingdoms, weaponry as well, hence the need for the disguises.

“That was why I was already planning to come here. With your new and improved carriage, I was hoping to sell it for a hefty sum.” Bob said with a smile, before releasing the two that were looking at him from behind.

While walking around Ray could see Jack was excited. He was constantly window shopping going from one place to the next. Like an energetic dog who hadn’t been outside in a long time.

“Well Jack, do you remember anything?”

“Yes, Boss. This is definitely the place I grew up in. Although a lot has changed I remember the smell?” Jack replied.

“The smell?” Bob said looking at him weirdly.

Sometimes Ray forgot Jack was half beast, he really did have the nose of a hound, and the smell was a strong receptor at bringing back memories for others.

“What about your families house, do remember where it is?” Ray asked.

“Right now I’m just following where my nose leads me to, but I’m sure we will come across it at some point if we keep walking around,” Jack replied.

As the three continued to walk around they noticed quite a large weapon shop. Ray remembered that one of the other main reasons for them coming here was to find Jack a suitable weapon. His last weapon he said he had received from his hometown and that they were hoping to get a replacement.

As they entered the shop it was indeed was higher class than the ones before. It was the first shop Ray had seen that had a whole bunch of advanced tier weapons and armour. The only problem was the price of everything was high.

Basic and intermediate equipment usually had a set price. However, when it came down to advance equipment and above it was different. It would also depend on which advanced beast was used to create it. For sometimes they would have special properties or skills attached to it like Martha’s bow.

While looking around the place it seemed like nothing took their fancy. Jack’s last weapon was an advanced tier weapon so they wanted something stronger similar to Martha’s bow.

“It looks like the two of you are disappointed by what you see here?” Bob said.

“We were hoping to find at least a king tier weapon if possible?” Ray replied.

“Oh, I didn’t realise you two had the funds for that,” Bob said looking at their clothing once more.

They had been given quite a lot of gold coins before they left. After all, they had recived a large hall form the Black ring’s guild. However, most of the coins would be used on the city for now. Especially since a lot of them came from them in the first place.

Still, if they need to raise some funds they were also happy to sell the second King tier harpy beast core that Jack possessed.

“If you’re looking for something that high of a class you won’t find any in the shops here. The most likely place for you to find one would be the auction house. They not only sell high equipment but all types of different things there.” Bob said with a creepy smile.

“The auction house, huh, sounds like we should pay a visit.” Said Ray.

As they left the auction house, Jack continued to follow his nose and it seemed he caught a whiff of something interesting. He started running off in a certain direction and Ray quickly followed after him. Bob tried to catch up with them but they running far too fast and he was too out of shape.

Ray noticing this turned and lifted the large man over his shoulders as he ran to follow Jack. It caused them to catch the attention of the whole town. After taking several snaking left and right turns Jack finally stopped just outside a large gate.

He pointed at a large mansion behind the gate.

“That’s it that’s my home!” Jack shouted excitedly.

As Jack took a step forward towards the gate, immediately the four yellow knights pulled out their spears and pointed it at Jack.

“You are trespassing!If you do not have an appointment to see the Mayor then please leave this place at once!”
