After Carla got mad at Neexz, they all rested and continued their journey towards Gliho.
"Gorg how close are we now?" Neexz asked. Gorg took a quick look at the map and back at the path. "We're about to reach their borders." Gorg replied.
As they traveled more further, they finally reached the border. Neexz stood in amazement as he saw a large wall, thousands of meters in height and hundred of miles in length.In that wall there's a small gate guarded by four guards, two in either side of the gate. When Neexz and the others was about to cross the gate, Gorg stopped them and gave a signal to stop walking.
"I'll handle this." Gorg said.
Gemma's POV
We suddenly stop before closing the gate. It's because there are so many security mesurements before going beyond the borders. So we all had to be checked. Which really is scanning our wristbands.
Our wristbands holds our location, identity and all the spells we learn and create. When it was Neexzs' turn to be scanned, I stared at them as he's rolling his sleeves up. I was waiting for the guards' reaction when they will found out that Neexz has the ability to control all aspect.
And... Huh?! It's black and white?! I still saw it yesterday! It still has the color of all the aspect! "Ehh?!" I Yelled in shock. All of them quickly stared at me before the guard spoke. "Silence! We require all of you to not mutter a single word during scanning!"
I quickly placed my hand on my mouth to signal them I'll be quiet. Minutes later, we all finished being scanned and now crossing the gate. As we got far from the gate, I suddenly spoke."Why did your wristband changed color?!" I yelled pointing at his wrist. Suddenly, Neexz rolled his sleeves on his right arm.
"Oh" I said realizing that Neexz used his left wrist and not his right. "And the other one?" Like what he did on his right, Neexz rolled his left sleeve and revealed the black and white wristband. "I had two wristlets!" He said.
I just gave him a confused look. Until I saw it changed colors! "Wait! Not only you have two wristbands, but now you can change it's color?!" I was really shocked and amazed by this guy. "Yeah! Before we set out, Gorg gave me another one one my left! I can change it's color but it'll disappear from my right, I can also make it come back of course!" Neexz said and started to walk.
We still have a long way until we reached Gliho. We have to go and travel two towns from here and another border, then Gliho. The only one who's really amazed to see all this is Neexz. I know he's not from this world because people like him is normal.
Other than people getting caught in fights between the Aspects. Which happens per hundred years. When at war, the kings usually ask their aspect to help them. The aspects reply by bringing them humans from what-so-called earth to Aspectia. Mostly, they have three to five aspects. So having eight is not normal.
From time to time, I see some humans like Neexz. Rich, famous and strong! But all of them are so egocentric! They always wanna fight to know who's the strongest! But Neexz... He's different. He's energetic and lively... He's also not like the others, he's more humble and quite fun to be with.
"Heeeyyy? You still with uuusss?" A voice took me away from my thinking. "Huh? W-what?" I said in confusion. I raised my head to see Neexz in front of my face! So close!! "You were spacing out! We're here!" He said.
"O-oh! sorry, I didn't notice." I said and looked at the entrance of the town. Bo-Mou huh, the main town of Gutalan. The most rock solid soldiers are born and train here.
Neexz's POV
We made it to Bo-Mou! Gemma said this is one of the town that we have to pass through before getting to Gliho. Amazingly, this is so different from Dezach. Instead of dark colors, this place has high mountains! Tall trees and living rocks! They call them Golu.
We arrived at an inn minutes later after passing the gate! We split on three groups: Gorg and Allie, Dexter and Carla lastly, Gem and I! Gorg said to enjoy the town a bit then meet at this place before dark.
"Come on Neexz let's go!" Gem said after grabbing my hand and dragged me to who-knows-where!
"W-where are we going?" I asked still being dragged by her. She's running so fast! "We're here!" Gem said pointing at something you would call a marketplace. "Wh-where are we? I asked. "The most biggest marketplace you could ever find in Gutalan! The Bo-Mou market!" Gem said all happy and cheerful.
"Let's... GO!" Gem yelled as we all go store by store. I didn't have money on me so I let her do her own thing while I stay in the back and watch.
Since Gem and I met, I never see anything in her face but happiness. She's always cheerful and full of surprises! I mean, if it wasn't for her, until Carla did it. I didn't knew you could use light orbs to heal!
Sooner or later, we stumbled upon a jewelry shop. All kinds of necklace, bracelet, rings and many more! There are also a wide collection of gems! Amethyst, Topaz, Emerald, Diamond, Ruby and Sapphire!
"Wow..." I said in amazement. "This is beautiful and expensive!" I continued. Gem just looked at me and laughed. "What?" I asked in confusion. "It's funny how you're thinking it's expensive while you have the money to buy this whole Market." Gem said and laughed again. I don't have money though! How can I buy the whole market with no money?! "What do you mean?" I asked Gem. She just looked at me. Confused on what I was talking about."You really don't know?" She asked.
"Yeah!"
"Hmm... Swipe your wristlet."
I did what she said and a rectangular green screen appeared before my eyes. With an image of Diamond, Gold, Silver and Bronze. "Do you see anything?" Gem asked.
"Y-yeah! Diamond, gold, silver and bronze."
"Look beside them, there are numbers right?"
"Yes!"
"The numbers tells you how many diamond, gold, silver and bronze you have."
"Okay."
"Tell me how many of which you have."
I looked at everything one by one before saying anything. "O-okay. I have twenty bronze"
"Okay okay. Next."
"Thirty Silver..."
"Mhmm."
"Fifty Gold"
"Wow! Okay."
"And a thousand Diamond."
Silence occurred after I said the last one. I tried to look at her direction but I can't because of the rectangular green thingy on my vision. I swiped my wristlet again so it disappeared. When I saw Gem, she was just standing still with wide eyes and jaw dropped.
"Uh... Are you okay?" I asked and waved my hand. "O-oh! Yes!" Gem said snapping out of her
shock. "I expected you only have a hundred diamonds." She said and chuckled a bit.
"What you just saw is your money points." She explained and took a deep breath. "One-hundred Bronze is equal to one silver. However one Gold consist of five-hundred silver and a thousand gold is equal to ONE Diamond." She continued.
I looked back at the jewelry shop to look at the prices of the items, and saw that they're below ten gold! I looked back at Gem and smirked. "Let's buy an Item per store!" I said which made Gem shocked.
And so, we go through store to store and bought at least one item. No wonder she was shocked. My diamonds are still one-thousand! After an hour, we went back to the inn with little as two necklace and some foods. We donated all we bought to some charity workers. The look on their faces is hilarious!
It looks like we're the first one to arrived at the inn! So Gem and I sat and waited for them.
