Chapter 157 - The Lamp Of Regas - Part 1

Rex didn't want to know about them anyway but after hearing hat Elina wanted to visit this place, he was forced to think about their behaviors.

That was the sole reason due to which he came here and after coming here, he found the weird vibe of the people.

Although he just glanced at them from a bit far away, he could easily tell that the people were really happy and were smiling but for some reason all of this seemed unnatural to him.

He decided to descend and take a look at them from a closer perspective which might have answered his questions.

'Tap Tap Tap.

After landing back on the ground, he started to walk to wards the gate or the border gate which was guarded by just 2-3 guards.

He thought that this was a better move to make since entering the city directly could have caused an uproar.

"Halt!"

The guards who didn't have that good of an attire stopped Rex just before he entered the gate which was quite normal for any guard since they had to check the person.

Rex paused right after which 2 out of the three men came and asked for the identity verification.

"State your business.", the said in a low voice after taking a look at the 'Elven Scroll' which he was provided with since earlier which he had flashed right now.

He had mere come to take a look at the city and to check the thing or whatever it was that had grabbed Elina's attention.

But he couldn't possibly say that since he knew that the news about the town was quite awful and thus no one would dare to visit for just sightseeing!

"Well, I have come to search for trade partners with whom I can trade...", he said humbly.

"Huh?"

But they were shocked to hear that and at the same time they were suspicious of what he said.

They couldn't see any wagon or any carry bag which Rex could have brought in which trade items could have been present so without a doubt he couldn't trade.

Moreover, he seemed to be too young due to which he was an easy target of suspicion regarding this matter because there were hardly such young traders who would even dare to come to such a dangerous place!

Rex too understood the reason for their suspicion so he just twisted what he said earlier.

"What I mean is I have come to look at the traders so that the elven country can trade with you...", was what he said.

The Kingdom elves had never once traded with anyone after the Great War and thus when Rex said this, the suspicion increased.

However, in their hearts they thought about this even more because if this was indeed true then their small city which was separated completely and was almost independent and thus with the help of the elves and their resources they could actually become strong.

It was quite tempting due to which they didn't stop him anymore and allowed him to pass but that didn't mean that they didn't suspect him anymore.

One of them was secretly following Rex as he walked inside.

He knew about this but despite that he allowed the person to follow him since he knew that the suspicion wouldn't just vanish like that on it's own.

'Hmm, this town isn't that bad either...', he thought this after taking a closer look at the buildings.

Although they couldn't be compared with the new and decorative buildings, they were pretty sturdy and strong in their own.

He smiled after looking at the buildings but more than that he expressed his happiness when he saw the kids playing near the small yet beautiful gardens.

He even saw others who were talking while showing manners. Everything seemed quire good and without a doubt the feeling of uneasiness had disappeared since long.

But the moment he reached the inner part of the city, he got tensed again because right now the same feeling which he had back then returned all of a sudden as if it was warning that there was something unknown here which was best to be left untouched.

He turned he head here and there only to find the change in atmosphere too. The people who lived around this area were quite rude as contrast to the ones who lived near the edges.

Furthermore, most of them seemed gloomy. It seemed like the area was almost lifeless for some reason.

'Mana sense...'

He allowed a large amount of mana to spread around the area to see what was wrong. He could feel a weird energy since long and right ow he wanted to find out the source of the energy which was without a doubt nearby.

But his mana sense also failed because even after covering the entire city, there wasn't anything that he could detect.

Although he senses some assassins nearby who were gathering at a common place for some reason, he wasn't able to find the source.

'Hmm, could it be...'

After thinking for a bit he came to a conclusion.

Until now all he had done was search on the upper surface and right now after thinking about it, he realized that he had the ground left all alone and hadn't checked it at all.

In this world there was no concept of building an underground passage or underground shops or something else like that.

All that was known was to build a prison in the underground where they would keep the most deadliest prisoners. Also, the trend of building underground basements were also famous in which strong yet uncontrollable weapons were kept.

It seemed like there was something similar right here due to which the people were being negatively affected.

When Rex saw all the people who were moody and were a bit agitated all the time, he figured out the reason behind which this place was called capital of Assassins and murderers!

'Let's see...'

He sharpened his senses right after which he could see through the ground which was basically a spell.

"Hmm... indeed... there is something quite powerful hiding in the ground...", he said in a low voice.

He was wondering the way to enter that place when suddenly he saw many of the assassins who had gathered at one place were now heading his way.

'Don't tell me...'

He thought that they might have wanted something from him and right now if he were to become their target then the situation might get out if the hand which he didn't want to happen.

Because of that very reason he decided to get out of the place almost immediately but he wanted to solve the mystery that was in front of him right now about the unique evil power which was right under him.

'Teleport...', he realized that he could just teleport to the area after thinking which he vanished by using the spell.

All the assassins were indeed coming towards him and it seemed like they wanted to attack him, but the moment they saw him vanish, they became confused and just stood their like statues while glancing at each other.

"No way! Where did he go!?", shouted one of them.

"Find him immediately!", shouted another.

They were already moody and were frustrated and now that Rex just vanished right in front of them, it was as if their anger would have burst!

While a few of them waiting in the same area expecting Rex to show up there yet again, most of them spread out in the entire city in order to search him.

They had already seen the dress which he was wearing on top of which his red hair was also clearly visible. Thus based on that they decided to search him which would have definitely been easier if Rex hadn't vanished from the place!

All of them became busy while the same thing happened with other people who stayed near the area sine they too wanted to find him out and get some rewards.

However right now no one would have been able to find him because he was nowhere on the surface. Instead, he had teleported himself to the underground which he had seen earlier using his Godly eyes and spells!

'Tsk, it's quite dark here...', he saw the area and said that.

It was too dark for him to stay there and it seemed like he wanted to move further forward.

'Tap Tap Tap'

Despite the darkness, he could see everything clearly which was thanks to another spell which he used with haste.

His eyes were glowing with green light and everything that was visible in front of him felt as if they had lost their colors probably because they appeared as if they were greenish white in color due to the spell which acted like a night vision mode!

He didn't say much and continued to walk down the path only to reach a dead end. He hen saw that there was indeed another way just left of him after entering which he was stunned because he ended up finding the thing which he thought to be negative since earlier.

"This..."

To be continued...
