Chapter 68 - A Ticking Time bomb

The Central Arctic capital reminded Rein of the world he used to live in.

'Come to think of it I've never really been active since coming into this world, perhaps it was high that was missing a lot'

Rein looked amazingly around the buzzing city, the beautiful colours and inventions, the way automated carrier that operated on mana Crystals. Rein could never get enough of this adventure, forget about levelling up, forget about working towards living a comfy lifestyle, what stood before his eye gave him the feeling of the earth. But of course, he'd never settle down.

'I've come too far to settle for less... But then I wish they'd extend this holiday. I'd love to enjoy more of this'

Rein grumbled to himself.

"I found it!"

Zolin came to him running and shouting.

"I found it! I found it! I found it!"

He began to pant as he stopped,

"Found what"

Rein looked at him indifferently, as he was quite used to Zolin making an unnecessary fuss about stuff"

"Your Father's...."

pant

pant

Rein belatedly remembered he had asked Zolin to search for his father's Marketplace in the central arctic.

"Ohhh...So where is it?"

Zolin pointed ahead and continued panting.

Rein dragged him by his collar and they went on together.

Standing in front of the market place, Rein found it hard to believe, but he had to believe because he has worked for the duke, he knows what extents his reaches go, but seeing the marketplace makes him doubt what he had known so far.

At the gate, if the Marketplace was boldly written; welcome home. This has been Duke Erin's general motto, he has merchantry ports around the world and this motto is widely used in all of them. Duke Erin has one said, he dreams that he makes a place if buying and selling home to people.

'he was indeed crazy about making money

Reinard shook his head as he imagined how crazy his coaster father is about making money.

"How much does your father have? I can't help but be curious"

'I understand how you feel pal, even I am curious'

Reinard ignored his question and walked in. He hadn't even walked 5ft when a man in thick red and black apparel And a black headband tied to his head, their dressing resembled that of what the Asians will call dopo in Rein's world.

"Excuse me, sir, are you here as a merchant or a buyer?"

Rein deeper his hand in his cross shoulder bag and brought out a silver plate with red rope, on the silver plate a bull was inscribed. Immediately the guard fell to his knees,

"Young master, it is with great honour that we receive you"

Rein entered, and was soon accompanied by other guards, the crowd murmured as he was escorted to the main building.

Letra was a very loyal servant to Duke Erin, he had been with him on several journeys and seen how the Duke took care of troubles, when he heard the duke finally had a son, he was very glad, this was his chance to pay back the Duke's kindness to him.

Rein politely bowed his head as he greeted the chief merchant and one of his foster father most trusted servant.

Letra received Rein with honour and kindness, he wanted to know a lot about Rein's life in the academy, to Rein he was too much of a talker, whereas Zolin was ignored as though he never existed.

In the lower parts of the market; Aggradis.

Aggradis can be likened to a slum market but that was just on the surface, below the ground exists a market unknown to many people, where dreadful and things that can not be sold in the open space are sold.

A yellow-haired boy, tall and with deep thick eyes looked around. Falcon, a very notorious northern theft, having heard of the underground market of Welcome home; we that the popular cliche Duke Erin's marketplaces are known as.

Falcon was a looming danger, a ticking time bomb that had the worst timing.
