Chapter 425 The Inn Incident [Pt 1]

The Adventurers City wasn't particularly known for its beauty.

It resembled a simple town, though there was an abundance of large buildings within its territories. This was to accommodate for the many residents that chose to live there.

Since Adveturers often spent their time away from the house, sometimes even traveling out of the City for Quests, many of them preferred to lodge in Inns rather than rent a place of their own.

There was also the option of buying land, or a house, but it was very rare to see Adventurers opt for this option.

Not only was land in short supply, since most people didn't care to sell their properties, there was no real reason for an Adventurer to be tied down to a property they would never use.

The only ones who would consider this option were Adventurers who had families, but even they preferred renting a house to buying a property.

At the very least, there was the chance of changing locations if one went with the former.

In any case, the allure of the Adventurers City wasn't in its external appearance, which was probably why the Otherworlders who now walked down the street of the big city didn't feel much of an electrifying sensation.

They appeared more lost than excited.

"Are you sure you know where to go, Adonis? Maybe we should just ask around?"

This question came from Eric, rather than the usual blabbermouth Justin. The latter had long taken the hint and was now sulking silently.

"I'm sure." Adonis responded calmly, not looking back to see Eric's frustrated face.

Unlike most of his classmates, Eric actually wanted to properly explore the Adventurers City since he had always been an avid fantasy fan.

He felt it was a shame they weren't being given the opportunity to split and explore on their own.

'I want to talk to some Adventurers and get a feel of this place!' Eric flexed his glasses and felt his nerd spirit being set ablaze.

He was the only one who thought like this, though.

Everyone else couldn't wait for Adonis to lodge them in an Inn, considering how uncomfortable they felt to be walking outside at night.

The Adventurers City was no slum, by any means, but compared to the Capital it was sorely lacking. It was easy to spot some safety and health violations, both of which would never fly in the Capital, in many areas of the City.

Plus, the stares they received from passersby was a little unnerving. Adventurers had a certain glare that made them appear threatening, so it wasn't strange for them to cast them on people—even if they were total strangers.

They even added free meals for everyone to the mix.

Considering how the Adventurers City was as much a hub of activities as the Capital was, and it generated quite an ample sum of national revenue, one would have expected things to be expensive here.

But, they were ridiculously cheap.

That just went to show the disparity that existed the further South one went in the map. Since the Adventurers City was up North, the cost of living was—as expected—relatively low.

"Thank you, Miss." Adonis slightly bowed his head in courtesy and paid the money.

The young lady behind the counter instantly blushed, and even the others who weren't attending to them started whispering to themselves while giggling.

Once again, the students were reminded of just how charming Adonis was.

Perhaps it was because they saw him so often, they had gotten desensitized to his captivating handsomeness.

Even with his disguise, which only aged him up to a mature age, he looked very splendid.

"Come on, guys." Adonis turned away from the desk and dangled the keys in front of his classmates. "Let's go."

A few students exchanged knowing stares and threw their hands in the air while laughing to themselves.

"As expected of our Hero..."

Thanks for reading!

I feel really guilty for dragging the story on like this, but this so much fun for me. Please indulge in it a bit more (for those who want to see a much faster pace).

Once we start the free-fall, there'll be no brakes.
