we got closer to what look like a huge gate that had the initial NE writing inside of a 30 by 30m square. fang lee told the flying demonic beast to go towards the ground because we will be walking the rest of the way in. when the flying beast landed we all hopped off, and starting our walk towards the gates.
I'll meet you on the inside I just need to return thus fellow" fang lee said to us.
okay, make sure you hurry back" ming said back.
fang lee hopes back on the beast and flew in a different direction from us. we started walking. my eyes were wondering everywhere talking it all in. there wasn't a lot of people at first but as we walked further on the trial, we saw more and more stalls all selling food to weird nicknacs.
best food kabobs in 200 miles, get it when it's hot. just 5 small copper, a merchant yells,
the smell has taken me, subconsciously I tug on mings shirt, she looks down at me giving a gentle smile.
would you like one nyx" she says
I look up at her and said yes i would but I don't know if 5 small copper is a lot. I say back to her.
ming look at me then she looks at yu with an awkward smile.. inner though" i forgot to teach them about money, crap.." she thought to herself.. she then grabs both me and yu looking us dead in the eyes. " I'm sorry I forgot to teach you about the currency of the world.. but it's not to late, listen carefully. this is a small copper" in an instant a small copper coin that is roughly 3cm around appears in her hand. "10 of these small copper makes one big copper, 100 big copper makes 1 small silver, 100 small silver makes 1 big silver, 1000 big silver makes 1 gold coin, 1000 gold coins make 1 platinum." ming says
I look at her and asked why there were no small and big gold or platinum
ming smiles and says bc they are harder to find so they decided to just make just one of them" ming says back to me.
okay, so those kabobs don't cost a lot" i ask.
no they don't, in fact they are super cheap. she says while giggling. if you two can wait 30 more mins I will bring you to an amazing restaurant. she says with a proud look.
okay" me and yu say.
we started walking towards the gate, I then notice the ground changed from the dirt road and into a pave road, which made it easier to walk on. why don't we pave all roads I think to myself as I continue to walk next to ming.
not before long we see the gate, it's huge 40m wife, 600m tall, was it made for giants? continue on as we get closer, the more people we see. be young, old, middle age, babies. they are all standing, walking, coming and going. making it hectic. ming grabs our hands and tells us to stay close. we make our way into this hectic line. we stand in line and wait for our turn. 15 minutes flat by and it's our turn to. we walk up to see a solder holding a clip bored, he gives off a scary aurora, with a thick gritty voice he says
" purpose for entry" towards ming
"place of residency" ming says back
one women, 2 children, how old? he asks
they are both 7" ming says back
that will be 1 small silver for the three of you" he says with straight face.
that is Ludacris since when has it been so expensive" ming shouted back to him. she was getting infuriated.
it's a new policy lady, if you don't like it get the f@#k out of here. we have no time for poor peasants" he says with an evil grin.
hmpt, with a flick of her wrists a small silver coin the size of 4cm appears. she gives it to the guard, who looks confused for a second and the realises his mistake. if she has a space ring she must have come form a powerful clan or backer... he thought to himself, why didn't she say anything or use the vip entrance. f*** me side ways. panicking he eyes looks at the person and before he could say anything. ming and the two kids were 50m away. in a blink of an eye they were lost in the sea of people.
mum, why did you give him a silver coin? it was clear he was trying to get more money, yu asked.
because yu it would have causing more problems then what's it's worth. she says as she tossle his black hair.
now let's go get some food, ming says to both of us and leads us to the closest restaurant for some needed grub. the restaurant was caked lucky, which was a weird name. I wonder why it was called that I ask myself. walking into the restaurant, which was fairly lit, they had these weird lamps everythere, giving the place a family type vibe. for such a good looking restaurant it was just to brown and green. we walk up to the lady at the front. she was wearin a black skirt which stop just right above her knees, it showed her milky white legs, she had black shoes on, comfortable enough to wear while standing for long periods of time. she had a white blouse, which was a size to small to hold her bust. which at the most a DD. short blonde hair, pink lips, and brown eyes with a cute button noise. she was a classic beauty lady.
table for 4 please, ming said to the lady standing behind the podium.
right this way please, the waiter said back ever so gracefully.
she leads us to a booth in the corner next to a large window. me and yu sit on the couch portion and ming took the chair.
mum how will father find us? yu asked ming
your father is a smart man, even tho most of time he is a muscle head, but don't worry about him he will come before dinner. ming smiles and said back.
a waitress walks up to us and says" welcome to lucky, may I take your order?
I will have just this fragmented wine ming casually points at a wine their from the top.
good choice the waiter says, what about you too? she turns to look at us
hmm I'll have as I quickly scan the list.. I'll have the demonic cow stake, with green tea. I said
exclletent choice young miss, the waitress said she turns to look at yu, and what would you have young man.
yu blushes and figgits shyly , I will have the chicken soup. he says.
oh I think he is growning more found of mature women, I think to myself.
TIME SKIP.
phew that was delsious, but not as good as your cooking mum. I said partying my stomach, after we are and left the restaurant, mum took us on a tour of the city, the city is split into 5 districts. 1 which is out most ring, is the shopping and tourist area, the second ring is the living area for commoners, the 3rd ring is for the wealthy merchants and lower nobles, the 4th is for nobles and or respective guests, the final ring is for high nobles/ relatives on the song empire and anyone powerful enough. as we make our way into the 3rd ring we see our father waiting at the gates for us. yu and me wave to him as we take off running.
I finally found you guys, you left papa roaming around the city doing all the chores, of finding a house and hiring maids boo hoo. fang lee fakes cries as hugs me and yu.
wait you found us a house in the 3rd ring? I ask in disbelief.
dear I told you not to go over board, what happens to staying low? what if they grow up spoiled? ming said with an annoyance tone.
honey, how can I bear to let them live with no yard or space and privacy? plus no child of i fang lee can live in none space room. lee says with a pride full tone.
who are our parents I think to myself, knowing how strange they are. I never notice it when I was younger but now I'm 7 I'm starting paying attention. If they wanted to say then I'll leave them to it. turning around fang lee lead us to a glorious house, it was made from this brown brick, at least 12,000sq feet and a 2 mile area of no houses. there were lines growing up the sides of the house, giving it a little bit of color. there was a fountain in the front Courtyard, the water was crystal clear, it was a wonderful house.
is this really our house yu and I ask?
hehe yes it is, see your dad did great this time. go run inside and pick your rooms.
like a arrow me and yu take off to find the best room and clam it as our own. as soon as we open the door we see the interior which is filled with marble flooring and pillars, it looked like a room meant for royalty, we ignore it for now and rush up stairs, the stairs split into two after the first flight, one going left and the other going right. I took the left one while yu takes the right one. after a few breath of time I make it too the first room on the left side, I clam this one I shout, going in the room, I close the door behind me. I look at the huge open room with my own balconie. there was a skylight right above my bed which would.make it perfect at night. I see that there is a bed already in the room. it had a bug net around it giving it a feel of extravagant. I smile and jump on it, I sink semi into and let the softness surround me. perfect I say.
