Jenna led Bicky and her group to a smaller door which was vacated.
As for the doors on both sides, there were even a dozen guards with the strength of level 3 acolytes, their bodies radiating the energy waves of their magic artifacts.
“Respected Lords, may I ask if it is a temporary or permanent lodging…”
After seeing Bicky and Jenna, these dozen acolytes immediately bowed and greeted them.
Jenna immediately raised her right hand and revealed a white ring on her finger.
The ancient ring had a silver body with detailed inscriptions on the surface, constantly emitting bits and pieces of light.
“So it’s a Lord who has a permanent residence. Please enter!” The acolytes respectfully made way.
“It’s my first time here. Are there any procedures I need to follow?” Bicky asked the acolyte from before.
“Yes. For magicians who enter for the first time, we have a simple procedure. You can pay 200 magic crystals and obtain permanent residence, or spend 10 magic crystals and stay in Nightless City for a month!”
“Handle one permanent residence for me!” Bicky immediately tossed out two high-grade magic crystals. She pointed towards her companion “What about them?”
The Guard looked at the three knights and immediately spoke ” As a permanent resident, you have jurisdiction to have a few knight servant, we will just have to go through some procedure ”
Bicky understood the underline intent and threw 5 mid-grade Magical crystals.
“Of course. Please wait a moment…” The acolyte quickly produced a piece of parchment and scribbled something on it. “May I have your name?”
“Bicky Tyler!”
“Here is your token. Please keep it well!”
“This is a token you will need to enter the city. Please keep it safe! Also, please do not linger on the streets after 12am. If not, the law enforcement group will apprehend you!”
The acolyte reminded him as he bowed.
Bicky nodded in understanding before leaving with Jenna, who had been waiting at the side.
“Jenna, I’ve been waiting for you!” Bicky went through a passage that was around five or six metres deep, and she heard a hoarse voice.
A burly blonde man who had been standing at the door for some time immediately rushed forward with a worried expression.
“Uncle Manla!” Jenna put on a coquettish expression and immediately embraced the large man. “Jenna missed you!”
“Haha…Me too!” The burly man smiled and looked at Bicky and her company beside her.
“This is…” The burly man’s looked at her, confused at her companionship.
“This is Bicky, someone I met along the way!” Jenna hung on to Manla’s arm.
“She’s a wandering Magus who is planning to stay in Nightless City!”
“Really? This is a city that advocates peace and harmony, so I hope you’ll enjoy your stay here. Here is a complete map of the city!”
The burly man showed her a kind smile and passed the map to Bicky.
“Many thanks!” She grinned brightly.
“It was great fun travelling with you! I’ll see you again, milady!” Bicky turned to Jenna with a smile and gave a courtesy bow.
Having received the map, Bicky took a quick look at it and entered the trade centre of the south coast, also known as the Teljose Volcano City, where the night was as bright as day.
The burly man waited till Bicky was completely gone before turning to the female Magus, a stern expression on his face.
“Jenna, from what I know, you don’t usually get this close with strangers?”
The large man put on a puzzled expression.
“I don’t know why, but I have some premonition that makes me want to get closer to her…” Jenna’s eyes seemed to cloud over.
“Or perhaps, this is what fate decreed!”
“That seems plausible!” The man scratched his head. “The high-grade meditation technique that you’re cultivating in may not be very powerful, but at times, it is able to accurately pinpoint a trace of the future. Since that Magi is giving you such a peculiar feeling, do you need me to send someone to check out…”
“Leave it! I have a feeling that if we do that, it’ll definitely incur displeasure of a dangerous adversary.”
Jenna’s eyes suddenly turned completely white, with no hints of any other colour.
“Twice! You actually made two prophecies about her!”
The burly man looked shocked. “That Magus’ fate is sure to be intertwined with yours!”
“Not me, and it’s not her! In her lies a looming shadow of abyssal depth standing behind her. Something that is intertwined with her fate or someone, the one behind her is someone whose action will impact all of the south coast”
The female Magus’ eyes regained their colour, cold sweat pouring down her face. She looked as if all of her energy had been wrenched from her.
“Quick, send me back to grandmother’s place!”
Jenna spat out and immediately fainted.
“Jenna! Jenna!” The expression on the burly man’s face was grim as he held her in his arms and quickly left the area…
Bicky immediately bought the services of a guide and took a tour around the city. She rented a house for lodging and took care of other miscellaneous arrangements
