55 Information overload (1/2)

The use of a single continental-wide language made things far easier for Nero to integrate himself into the Mainland.

Norm's language was executed by every human. At most, the uncivilised tribes of islands in the middle of nowhere had altered their version slightly. It was like the early stage of Latin in America, everybody had a grasp and understanding of it.

Due to this, Nero had no difficulty to approach others and ask for the general information of his whereabouts.

Asking a nice old lady, he had learned that the city he was in was called Kara. The nearby hunting grounds for Slayers was deeper in the city, unexpectedly.

Speaking of Slayers, Nero had only before seen two, The King and the Captain, as well sensed the faint aura of 4 others from Saestro who had invaded his transport Blimp. In just the span of the few hours Nero had spent in Kara City, he had sensed and even witnessed another 4 Slayers, not mentioning the dozens of Hunters littering every high-class corner.

'It seems my hypothesis was accurate enough, the presence of Mana in its core form is far greater here than on Plumon, it seems like average people can become Hunters at the age of only 30! But there should be more to it than that, maybe some sort of meditation technique.'

Nero had already boarded an auto carriage while deep in thought. His total spending had already been extensive, just the Beast pill was enough for the average family to live with no concerns for months.

(AN; Nero only has 600C on him, not 1500 like previously mentioned. There was a miscalculation for the Magic stones he bought.)

'I wonder why I can't feel Beast mana, I can direct its flow in my body but mana sensitivity doesn't seem to apply to it,' Nero's mind was usually as such, full of countless questions and analytical precdures, extrapolating with the already withheld knowledge.

'And spatial magic huh...'

Nero woke up from a nap as soon as he felt the carriage stop, looking out the curtained window to see a large gate snuggly fitted into a massive stony wall. Patches of thick lime green were spotted in large quantities on the ancient looking bricks.

Paying the carriage driver a few Cardin, Nero hopped off to have a look at the gray-zone ahead.

Gray-zones were marked areas inside nation owned territories where Magical beasts thrived, only mages and Ki cultivators had access to these hunting grounds.

There were certain rules that were to be obliged by and followed throughout the time a mage spent in here.

The basic rule to be abided by was 'no mage-killing', or pvp in simpler words.

When proceeding inside, mages would be given rings with embedded stones that the mage had to be binded to, it absorbed a very minute amount of mana from the bonded mage, sending out a signal to let the ones in charge know that the mage's location and status.

Of course there were some complications but ignoring them, it was a great idea implemented by the Magus Assembly, one of the greatest mage collaborative organisations on Rosaria.

Worldwide, during the Gregorian Era, the generation of the idea came from Verilia Star, one of the three Great Vice presidents that disappeared with Ebenfalls.

Nero quickly obliged with all the regulations and cruised through the processing at the gate, gaining yet another ring on his finger.

While entering, he'd witnessed many Hunters and Ki cultivators, dozens moving packs of odd numbers.

Nero was happy to see Ki cultivators for the first time, it made many things clear in his head.
