First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System novel Chapter 428

Chapter 428: Mixed City

Orion’s lips curled upward into a fascinated smile. "Incredible," he murmured softly. "This place is a genuine melting pot of races and cultures. Far more intriguing than I imagined."

Finally arriving at the city gates, Orion’s gaze landed upon a broad and muscular Elephantkin who was diligently collecting entrance fees.

The Elephantkin towered over most, his face had a haughty smile while looking at everyone, likely because his cultivation was at the Fourth Tier, and among the people present, it was one of the highest.

Catching sight of Orion’s approaching figure and sensing his restrained yet powerful aura, the Elephantkin quickly bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, sir," the Elephantkin said courteously, with evident caution in his tone. "The entry fee is ten Lesser-Grade Mana Crystals."

Hearing this, Orion’s lips twitched involuntarily. Embarrassment flashed through him momentarily. He only had High-Grade Mana Crystals in his inventory, he had never bothered storing the Lesser-grade variety, deeming them utterly useless and space-consuming.

He sighed inwardly, shaking his head gently. Deciding not to dwell on this small inconvenience, Orion reached into his spatial ring and casually withdrew a single High-Grade Mana Crystal.

Tossing it gently toward the startled Elephantkin, he said, with an air of casual generosity, "Here. Take this as a reward for your hard work over these years."

Without waiting for the guard’s response, Orion strode confidently into the city. The Elephantkin guard stared down in bewilderment at the radiant crystal glittering brilliantly in his palm, excitement flashing in his large eyes.

His monthly salary was only 100 Common Grade Mana Crystals that he hadn’t even gotten yet, and Orion gave that to him casually. He hurriedly took out 10 Low-Grade Mana Crystals and paid for Orion’s entry fees in fear of others asking him for the High-Grade Mana Crystal.

He muttered quietly to himself, filled with joy, "I only became a guard here last week..."

Had Orion overheard the Elephantkin’s words, he would have immediately snatched back the crystal without hesitation and traded for Lesser-Grade ones from others.

Fortunately for the obliviously delighted Elephantkin, Orion was already far ahead, his attention now captivated by the city’s lively and colorful streets.

The streets bustled with liveliness, various people of different races traveled together from one place to another. The aromas of rare cuisines wafted from nearby eateries, mingling harmoniously with the lively chatter of residents and cultivators engaging in animated discussions or spirited bargaining.

Deciding not to linger any longer here, Orion quickly went towards a large tavern, a grand establishment at the center of the main street, its entrance decorated by intricately carved wooden panels depicting various mythical creatures.

The tavern’s sign bore the name "Chaos City Inn," intriguing Orion instantly.

Stepping inside, he was greeted by the warm glow of crystal lamps and the ambient hum of conversation.

Patrons of various races laughed and conversed, clinking cups filled with rich wines while eating mana beast meat, yet all of them had restrained their aura as no one knew when a hidden master would come and slap them to death for being annoying.

Heading inside, Orion casually found an empty table tucked comfortably into the tavern’s corner.

From here, he could quietly observe the bustling activity without drawing unnecessary attention. He reclined into his seat, taking in the lively chatter, savoring the vibrant atmosphere unique to this gathering place of warriors.

The tavern was filled with a myriad of scents: roasted meats of mana beasts, fragrant herbs mixed into potent drinks, and the subtle aroma of expensive wines.

People from various races laughed heartily, voices intermingling with different accents all over the place.

Soon, Orion’s sensitive ears picked out a particularly intriguing conversation from a nearby table.
