God's Eyes

Chapter 624 - Lanro

The City was completely different than Jason had initially expected.

There were no high-rise skyscrapers as was the case on Argos, and the biggest buildings were the City lord's abode in the center and several pagodas that seemed to belong to certain organisations or families.

Jason had yet to fully analyse the city's infrastructure, but with the help of his Emperor Eyes, this was not difficult.

While flying through the sky, they encountered thousands of humans who looked at him oddly because he could fly just by using Artemis' wings.

He simply ignored their gazes and stared at the different districts of the city that were clearly divided, and easy to differentiate according to the distinct buildings all around.

The Devir race seemed to be using darker materials imbued with primordial energy to construct their large mansions, houses, and small, apartment-like buildings, while dense spiritual force reflected in the Aeus buildings.

Exactly the same could be seen on the Manyrs side because they would move to places that had more of the cultivation energy they were cultivating in.

Only one difference was interesting to see in specific buildings of the Devir- and Aeus race as they had been constructed of materials that had several cultivation energies intertwined.

This was an interesting sight, and Jason observed the energy fluctuations of the beings inside said buildings for a few seconds longer than the rest.

Overall, the situation in Lanro seemed interesting, yet, the tension he sensed was evident.

'I wonder if the City Lord is the only reason, a carnage hasn't ensued inside the city walls yet…'

Considering the city's structure, it was as if the city lord was the only being that maintained the equilibrium, but he might as well be wrong.

While flying towards a district that was located on the outskirts of the city, passing by humans that cultivated either in the path of Pryr or Spiral, Jason was certain that his assumption about Alf Nas and his students had been correct.

'As expected, they're not fond of choosing any side. They would probably rather stay with the human race, and choose the Aeus because of their awakened Spiral cultivation vein!'

The benefits of choosing the Devir or Aeus race as their leader were simply too good, and without the means to obtain a suitable cultivation, martial art, body refining or even Aura construction technique, it would be much more difficult to stay strong.

Despite that, one could opt to retain their freedom, without choosing anyone to follow by using the Mission hall in Lanro.

The Mission hall gave out missions, and in exchange for solving them, one would receive bountiful rewards according to the level of difficulties surpassed while completing a mission.

Through this, one could earn a fortune, and even purchase suitable techniques one required to remain strong, decreasing the benefits of choosing the Devir or Aeus race as their lords!

Unfortunately, the benefits of the Mission hall were only useful for those that were talented enough to make a huge fortune in a short amount of time.

This was important because the techniques were distributed free of charge by the Aeus and Devir amongst the followers once they were accepted as their leaders. They would be referred to as Lords, and the techniques might only be at the Terra-Advanced grade, but were perfectly suitable for anyone having the right cultivation veins to use!

Jason was not sure how the pricing system worked on Manyr, but from what he had heard, most humans would take several years, if not longer, only to save enough funds to purchase a perfectly suitable Terra- Intermediate technique.

And this required a prerequisite of having reached the Prismar stage!

'If someone decides to follow either the Aeus or Devir after they awaken their cultivation vein, the benefits they could reap are probably worth decades of time saved in comparison to slowly increasing one's strength, only to not choose a side…'

The entire situation was a little fucked up in Jason's opinion, but he didn't say anything about it.

In the end, there were also organisations that didn't force anyone to do something, lending out certain techniques in exchange for a loan that could be paid once they were strong enough.

The Tritans organisation was doing exactly the same, and had just tweaked the price of owing, minor, major, and huge favors!

These favors were made in the form of soul pacts and higher ranked soul contracts which made everything a little bit more dangerous.

However, at the same time, the contracts were extremely detailed, clearly showing what the Tritans were allowed to request and what was off-limits.

As such, Jason liked this system more, even if it could be more expensive than paying a huge debt that could lead to severe issues if not paid back within time.

Inside the huge place that looked like an Inn, Alf Nas offered Jason the choice of staying with them for some time so that he could learn more about Lanro without getting lost.

This offer was politely declined by Jason, as he said,

"I will stay in this Inn, and we can meet each other later. However, I think it would be best for me to figure everything out by myself.

Walking around with you and the others would attract too much attention, and I want to be considered a Variant of the human race, if possible!

This would attract a little bit of attention from those who are more curious about my existence, but that's fine!"

Variants, also called Mutants, were anomalies of a race, who are different from the norm since birth.

While his eyes were already an interesting sight, his stigma, if concealed, could pass as a simple tattoo, or a unique birthmark.

As such, while hiding his Celestia aura, the only thing that would be perceived from the outside were the mana fluctuations that radiated from him.

Concealing them would mean he wanted to hide something.

Because of that, Jason would rather be a Mutant of the Manyrs, who was born with the cultivation vein of the Maest path instead of the normal unawakened Pryr and Spiral cultivation veins, than a being from another race.

This would make things much easier for him too!

His only task was to not reveal his entire combat prowess, and everything would be fine as mutants were considered unique existences that were likely to have firmer energy fluctuations and a higher combat prowess than others!

Some feared them, but that shouldn't be the case in Lanro city, and with his low combat prowess the probability would be even less.

'Will others remember that I flew into the city with Artemis' wings? Probably….right?'

There was only one problem Jason had in his mind, which was his arrival in the city and that there were many who had seen him with white wings spreading out from his back.

However, while he was focused on this problem, Alf Nas mentioned another issue.

"Do you even have enough spirit, Pryr, or mana stones to lodge a room? If not, I can lend you some!"

Jason was hit off guard by that question, only to recall that he had long since used up all his cultivation resources.

But that was not a problem in his opinion because there had been a good reason for him to stay in the underground cave for an entire month, instead of rushing to find a way out!

Taking out one of the hueless Lique rank elemental crystals, the absence of hue indicating its superior quality, Jason smiled at Alf Nas as he replied,

"I think I have enough to barter a little bit!"
