Chapter 581: Cinna City (2/2)

Iem then continued.

”We have two choices at the moment. We wait for the City to open on its own and try to sneak inside. However, we don't know if someone will come out or not. Who knows, we might spend years without a single shadow appearing. The other is to go straight there and find out what is this place straight away.”

Krune didn't want to waste time here, much less did Iem. In the end, they decided to take the risk of being attacked and went there straight away. Luvile and Harold were also prepared to help the two of them in case something went wrong. Of course, Krune and Iem decided to change their appearances just in case.

Once Krune and Iem got close to the City Gate, it slowly began to open. From inside, a cultivator with a black robe strode outside. Behind him, one could see another three cultivators.

The leader of the group then looked at the two with an awful expression.

”What the hell are you doing outside? Don't you know that it's the Rarin Giant Worms mating season? They are everywhere looking for food for their young. Consider yourselves lucky that you haven't been eaten yet.”

The man looked at the two of them with some skepticism. Krune and Iem were using some weird clothes that he couldn't recognize. However, the City was enormous, and there was no lack of eccentric people. Because of that, the man thought that they were one of those.

Krune and Iem were taken aback. How the hell would they know something like this? They just arrived in this place, after all. Nevertheless, considering Iem and Krune's power, those 'Rarin' worms posed zero to close to none danger to the two of them.

Fortunately, there was good news. The man's language was the same used on the surface. It's just that it had a strong accent compared to the people and beasts outside.

As for thinking that Krune and Iem come from somewhere else, it seemed like that the man didn't even consider such a possibility. Obviously, that made Krune and Iem a little puzzled. Could it be that they never get outsiders coming?

Krune swept his Divine Sense over the man and let out a sigh of relief. He was able to see his cultivation. The man at the front was a Semi-Divinity Realm cultivator. It's just that Krune couldn't tell at which stage he is at the moment.

Iem analyzed the man's words and quickly reached a conclusion. He then sent Krune a Divine Sense message to leave the conversation to him.

”Sorry, sir. But we really needed to go out to train and cultivate; we had no other choice.”

The man narrowed his eyes after hearing that.

”So you are one of those lunatics. No wonder you weren't afraid of leaving the City with such a low cultivation realm. I can see that you had just broken through into the Divine View Realm recently. Anyway, even if this trip allowed you to breakthrough into the next realm, Cinna City has its rules. The penalty for leaving the City without authorization is 100 Gold Coins. Since there are two of you, it is 200 Coins. I'm not going to give any discount either.”

Krune and Iem were taken aback. Gold? Why would cultivators use Gold? Only ordinary people who don't cultivate would use this kind of currency. No, first of all, this was a currency in the Mortal Realm. Ever since Krune and Iem arrived here, they had never seen anyone using Gold, only Godly Stones.

However, neither Krune nor Iem took Gold out. Krune had a lot of Gold in his spatial ring that he liked to use in restaurants managed by ordinary people back in the Mortal Realm. However, his Gold Coins would definitely have a different format and size than those used by this City, and so would Iem's. One thing was the use of different clothes. After all, everyone has their own tastes. However, other Gold Coins would definitely be seen with suspicion.

Still, there was something in their favor here. The man seemed to not care about their identities! Iem was just testing the waters to see if they could pass without revealing their background. Truth be told, he wasn't harboring many hopes that it would work. The moment the man started making questions, Krune and Iem would definitely not be able to answer him. Fortunately, the man seemed to not care as long as they paid the price. Just from the looks of it, this Cinna City doesn't seem to have that many rules.

”Sorry, sir. We don't have Gold with us at the moment. Is there another way to pay for the penalty?”

Just as the man was about to talk, Krune put his hand on Iem's shoulders before saying.

”Don't worry, brother. I have brought some gold with me. You can pay me back later after we return home.”

Iem was taken aback. He already told Krune that they couldn't show a different Gold Coin from the Mortal Realm, so what was he planning to do?

Krune ignored Iem's surprised face and stepped forward. He then took out 200 Gold Coins and passed it to the man. After verifying that the Gold was legit, the man nodded his head and let them pass. At the same time, he gave them a piece of advice.

”If I were you, I wouldn't stay close to those lunatics of the Axel Gang. You were lucky to come back alive this time, but that most likely won't happen again if you repeat it.”

Iem and Krune smiled and pretended that they agreed with him.

”Thank you for your advice, Sir.”

Right after, Iem asked Krune through a Divine Sense Message.

”How did you get those Gold Coins?”

Krune laughed before saying.

”The Formation that protects the City doesn't block Divine Sense. I was lucky to spot someone making a payment with Gold Coins. After that, I just had to change the shape of the Gold that I have. At out cultivation level, using Godly Energy to shape the metal is a piece of cake.”

Iem opened his eyes in realization.

”No wonder...”

Finally, they entered the City. However, they soon noticed that it was far from what they expected.
