Chapter 80: Entering ferandel


    "Uhm, Is Mr.Nix here?"


    A girl with braided ck hair asked shyly gazing at Nix who was standing at the entrance of his n house.


    Nix was in his casual attire after doing his workout. He was wearing orange shorts and a ck tank top drenched in sweat.


    "Yeah, Who might you be? He is quite busy right now..." He said with a smile.


    The girl seemed kind of cute and innocent. She seemed to be urately around seventeen-eighteen years old. She possessed a tiny and petite body which made her seem cute. She seemed like a loli though. Her ck long braided shiny hair and her ck pupils plus her pale white skin and the innocent blush of her portrayed her as a shy maiden.


    She was wearing a purple hat and an attire which mages would wear. she held a magic stave in her hand. Judging from all those hints. Anyone could say that she is indeed a mage.


    "I am here to meet your n lord... Lady Raf has sent me on a mission."


    She said in a cute little voice while blushing to gaze at Nix''s muscr body and avoided his eye contact.


    Whenever he locked his eyes she averted it...


    "Hmm, You didn''t answer my question?"


    She fumed in anger and pouted, annoyed by his attitude, she asked.


    "Hmph... Can I talk to somebody else? Or can I at least enter in?"


    "What''s up with you Little girl? If you tell me your address I will drop you at your home... It is too dark, you know? Little girls can''t roam in the night..."


    He said indifferently and poured oil into her burning anger and added.


    "Are you perhaps lost? Tch, Nowadays parents are so irresponsible.."


    She gazed at him with anger while emitting an aura filled with malicious intent.


    "Hey, Firstly who are you? Just let me in... You dummy! I will burn you to death."


    <em>''What the hell is with this loli?''</em>


    Nix scratched his head and said.


    "Hmm, little miss. Actually, I am Nix."


    "I can''t believe you let me in!"


    "Hah, Can''t you stop throwing a tantrum like a child?"


    He said and turned towards the door.


    "Hah...Tch, Just get in"


    He said with a sigh.


    Cinzia was in her office. Since Nix was leaving she waited for him to leave. There were Bulziey and Gunther guarding the n house though.


    "Big Sis Cinzia! How have you been?"


    The girl eximed and embraced her after rushing towards her.


    Cinzia smiled and said.


    "Haha, Fine what about you? Helina"


    "Uhm, Where is your boyf....I mean your n lord?"


    She asked shyly after loosening her grip.


    "Are you that eager? He is the one behind you..."


    She turned towards him with embarrassment. Nix just stared at her with a warm smirk while leaning against the door with his hand crossed. Next to him was a backpack that had the necessary things he needed for staying in Ferandel.


    "I am sorry!" She said with a reddened face.


    "Fine, You are sent by Ms.Raf, right? Let''s go." Nix said nonchntly and left for a two minutes stroll and came back after switching to his armor set.


    When he returned he saw her having a happy chat with Cinzia while sipping the cup of coffee served by the maid.


    "Hey loli, you ready?" Nix asked with a serious expression.


    "My name is Helina. And I am not a loli. I am just two years younger than you!" She pouted.


    "Is that so? Well, move your ass fast."


    "Hah, you are so cold..."


    She said and turned towards Cinzia.


    "Big sis, How did you evene to like him?"


    Cinzia just smiled and shrugged.


    Soon, Helina and Nix boarded the rented carriage after bidding farewell to Cinzia and others. The whole sponsor of the mission is Raf as such she had a hired driver to drop them at Ferandel and few things that were needed for the mission.


    After one day of traveling their carriage stopped before the gates of Ferandel. During their journey, they encountered a few weak monsters.


    "Hah, So Helina... I''ve been wondering since the day I crossed through these roads... Why wasn''t there much of a threat during our journey like other routes? I mean the monsters are low in these ces."


    "Lord Nix, That''s because we traveled through the Explored route instead of the Unexplored route."


    Chaos maind is one of the unexplored continents in Empyrean but that doesn''t mean they''ll encounter powerful monsters as they travel. As long as they travel by already explored and endeavored routes they will remain safe and will be facing weaker monsters but that doesn''t assure people Monsters don''t pass by that route either. It''s all about luck.


    Explored routes are roads and paths that connect cities regardless of their hatred against each other. They were meant to travel. As such crossing paths between Ouws, Regrs, and Entizens are bound to happen. This is why most of them use portals to travel.


    Anyway, using a portal is a different story. Since they''d travel between their allied cities and wouldn''t cross paths with opposite parties.


    "I see... So that''s how it is."


    Nix nodded his head.


    "Sir Id." As the gatekeeper asked. They got out of the carriage and began to fill the details in a record that they were told to fill.


    Nix gave him the Id and the gatekeeper scanned it and returned it to him.


    "Sir, Can You insert your mana into this crystal?" The gatekeeper said pointing at arge crystal by the side of the City''s wall. It was arge deformed crystal brimming with energy and there was a disy connected to it. Which contained numbers and some names in it.


    "Alright..."


    Nix said and walked towards the crystal and inserted his mana inside the rod-like handle given by the gatekeeper.


    At least that was what the Gatekeeper saw. But, he inserted mana with a small circr button-like crystal given by Helina. Which was the size of a small fingernail and ck in color. While the gatekeeper was busy she chanted something in the back and signaled Nix.


    As an outsider one would have to show hisher outsider Id and get it scanned by a mana scanner and sorts. And then they have to proffer some details and record their entry into a mana crystal and show their equipment. Finally, they have to pay tax to carry them in.


    "Sir it''s enough."As the gatekeeper said he walked away from the crystal.


    Details identical to his Id appeared on the disy along with some extra information.


    [|10120 Outsider Id|]


    [|Name - Nix |]


    [|Lv-3 ss-Soldier|]


    [|Mana core type: Mana Transmision|]


    [|Mana type- Impure|]


    [|Semi base frequency|]


    As aforementioned every life form has a unique signal as such Nix''s signal was unique too and each possesses a different type of cores just like how a blood group works and each core holds different traits and uses.


    <em>''Typical same setting like stats? Hmm, Mine isn''t mana transmission though... ''</em> Nix inwardly thought to himself afterying his eyes on the disy.


    "Sir you thanks for cooperating."


    The gatekeeper said and drifted her attention to Helina.


    "Maam pleasee forward"


    After that Helina did the same as him and created a fake profile and record.


    Soon the carriage wheel slowly rotated and passed through the grand entrance of Ferandel. They finished doing the security check. As an illusion mage, Helina controlled the images they were supposed to see. Although her magic was terriblyckingpared to a Subus. She managed to somehow mask his Mana. If a veteran guard was there their situation would have been messed up.


    "Wee to Ferandel."


    She said excitedly, staring at Nix.


    "Yeah~ Yeah" Nix replied non enthusiastically.


    If there was one thing that''s running inside his mind then it was to visit a temple and ask why he was banished. But, thates after securing a stable ce to stay and intel about the Daneren family.


    "Tch, Why are you so non enthusiastic..."


    "We are here for a mission and not for a pic. Come on loli just walk with me." He said nonchntly and made her angry again.


    "Hmph, It''s Hel... Well, Whatever!" She pouted.


    The city''s environment was just the same as Dracton. The only difference was that here the poption seems highpared to this, Dracton seems to hold a low poption.


    They both took a stroll for a while and entered into a shady-looking crookedne.


    "The Ayan Inn"


    Nix mumbled after setting his eyes on a particr inn''s board.


    The inn didn''t seem grand; moreover, it seems like a rundown cheap inn without many customers so Nix chose that shady inn to stay. It was not even noticeable at first nce as it was located in a crookedne and seemed suitable for him and typical ouws also it seemed cheap too. So it was all plus for him. Moreover, it was a bit close to their target.


    After studying the inn Nix drifted his eyes towards Helina and nced at her to hear her opinion.


    "No~No, Please! Can we go for a better one?"


    Annoyed by her troubled reply he frowned at her.


    "Tch, you are here for one reason, and that''s to help me. So do that. Don''t ask any more questions. Got it? Now, walk-in."


    "HAH, Sorry..."


    She couldn''te up to enter the Inn.


    "Haa, Learn to be reserved and save some money. You are here to do a job, not for a tour where you can chill."


    Nix sighed and walked in without giving heed to her. Although she felt reluctant to stay there she walked in following him like a child.
