6 City of Springs

[Hey Crocky, we should leave Francia here near the gate and let the guards see her. Right?] Dom is now tying the hands of Francia into a tree near the gate.

[Hmmmmm.. That's a great idea master!] Crocky nodded.

Francia's face is now swollen, to the point that even her father can't recognize her anymore. The both side of her cheeks received a powerful slap from a Master level, and now the result is horrible.

Looking at Francia's face, Dominic feel sorry for her.

[Sorry Francia, i did it for money. Don't worry, I will repay you when I get rich.]

[Crocky, Whip mode!]

Then Crocky float mid air and transform into a whip. It is one of Crocky's skill.

[Whip her, just use 20% of your power.]Then after several swoosh, Francia's body is now full of whip slash and blood oozed out from the wounds.

[Crocky check the surroundings if there is someone within the vicinity.] Then Crocky fly, leaving only red trails. After a minute, Crocky came back to Dom's body.

[Found nothing Master.]

[Very good Crocky.] Then he activated Thunder and Wind Steps. Then they rushed to the south gate leaving Francia near the North gate.

Soon, the guards on roving found Francia. They did not know at first who is that girl, but when they saw the pendant on her neck their eyes grows wide and shout "YOUNG MISTRESS"

....

[Ok Crocky, hide inside my shirt.]

Dom and Crocky is now infront of the south gate.

To enter the city, one needs to pay an entrance fee. The cost is just 10 silver coins. It was not a problem for Dominic, he robbed the bandits and the Young Mistress. He is now rich. As in RICH! HAHAHAHAHA!

Only visitors or first timer in the city would pay the entrance fee, residents are exempted in the Entrance fee.

Dom handed the 10 silver towards the Guard in the gate. The Guard accepted the silver coins and let Dominic pass the gate.

Different buildings welcomed Dominic as he passed through the gate. Taverns, art galleries, Relic Shops, Weapon and Armor shops, Academies and many more building are present in the city. He was just a 'Country Bumpkin' and this place looks awesome for him compared to the trees in the mountains.

[I need to find a place to stay before enrolling to the Academy.]

He started to walk. He passed through some big buildings and he examined every single on of them. Rich madames looked at him as if they saw some trash.

"Look at that kid, another country bumpkin entered the city. "

" look at his clothes, tattered and dirty. Why did the guards allow him to enter the city?"

Dominic ignored those Madames and walk straight. Soon he find a 2 storey house.

In front of the house, there is a placard with note 'FOR SALE. 20,000 GOLD'

The house is cool and fancy and suitable for Dom and Crocky to live. It has also a hot spring on its backyard.

Even though the house is just a second hand, but it is still a nice place to live in and it just cost half of its original price.

He looked at his storage ring, and there is only 5000 gold coins. Then, he remembered that he stoled Francia's ring. He immediately examined it and he was flabbergasted by what's inside the ring.

"50,000 GOLD COINS!"

.....

"Ahhhhhhh! Crocky! We got a home to stay! And its so nice." it is a 2 storey house, it has 3 rooms and a rooftop good for star gazing.

"Let's start sorting out the items we robbed." Dominic stared at Crocky and pat its tiny head.

Then he opened the ring where he put everything. He placed the rings of the 5 guards, Roberto's ring, 4 rings of the Bandits, and Francia's ring on the table.

He check the first ring, one of the bandits rings. It contains 5 different types of Relics, 5 normal grade weapon, Black robes, and a bag of low grade Fantasia Pill.

Then, he checked the second ring of the bandits. It contains 3 relics, 4 normal grade weapons, Set of Clothes, and a bag of Low grade Fantasia pills.

Them he check the other rings except Francia's ring.

He found 8 normal grade weapon, 10 Upper grade weapon, 2 rare weapon, 15 relics, 3 bags of Low grade fantasia pills, and 1 bag of mid grade Fantasia pills.

There are a total of 13,000 gold coins, 2,000 silver coins, 19 normal grade weapon, 10 upper grade weapon, 23 different types of relics, 5 bags of low grade Fantasia pills, a set of clothes, and 1 bag of mid grade Fantasia.

"WOW! I'M REALLY RICH! I STRUCK GOLD"

....

"Mr.Brown is this the total price for the Normal and Upper grade weapons?" Dominic is currently on weapon and armor shop.

"Yes,a total of 10,000 coins." Mr.Brown is the owner of the shop. A white haired stout old man. The store is big, and this store is the most famous and largest weapon shop in the city of Tamfaken.

"Deal!" Dominic agreed with 10,000 gold coins, it is enough for his daily life expenses and for his schooling.

He immediately leave, he put the gold coins in the ring specified for coins only. He has now a total of 53,000 gold coins. 30,000 from Francia's ring, 13,000 from the other rings and 10,000 from sold weapons.

His face can't be drawn, he is smiling so wide to the point that it nearly reached his ears. His heart beats so fast, and his blood boiled inside. [CROCKY.. WE'RE RICH! I WILL TREAT YOU WITH VARIOUS TYPE OF FOODS.]

[YES! I LOVE YOU MASTER! YOU'RE THE BEST!] Crocky formed a thumbs up with his Lizard fingers.

.....

"Good Afternoon Mr.Raleigh I am Dominic and will you check out this Relics?" Dominic is now ln the other store, selling his relics.

Mr.Raleigh is a middle age man with a mascular body and the owner of Relic shop. The aura of this man is full of dominance, just talking to him will make you shiver.

"ohhhh.This relics are all 1 star. Here, buy this Item identifier. Using this item, you will be able to know the usage, instruction of how to use and level of a certain Relic or item." Mr.Raleigh is holding a small item that looks like a magnifying glass.

Dominic tried this item on a relic.

"Ohhhhhhh! Mr.Raleigh, how much is this Item Identifier?" Dominic's eyes shined in excitement.

"Hey men, lets make a deal. All this relics you brought will be traded for this Item Identifier. Deal? "

"DEAL!"

"Then the deal is closed. Here is you Item Identifier." Mr.Raleigh handed the Item Identifier to Dominic.

"Bye Mr.Raleigh."
