Exiting the wasteland of filt and waste, Elon had a twisted expression on his face as he searched his cloth for any unsaid stains after barely dodging the calamity was sent his way. If not for his outstanding reaction speed, then the package of dump would have landed on him, ruining not only his mood,but his entire plan.
Unknown if it was intentional or just coincidence,Elon kept on cursing whoever had thrown that poop.
Even though he dodged it, witnessing the lump of waste splatter and its disgusting stench hit his nose,he felt pissed.
Confirming that he was free and had fully evaded the calamity, Elon flexed his robe once more before heading towards his destination, while still disguised as a common noble.
…
Minutes later…
Standing before the common and ordinary looking house with nothing spectacular about it, Elon revealed a satisfied smile.
Though the journey had taken him roughly thirty minutes going through several unfamiliar turns and straights, Elon now felt it was all worth it.
Not only was the house well hidden and inconspicuous, it was also located on a secluded street, a perfect camouflage. No one would have expected such a place to exist in the far edges of the busy market filled with nonstop noise and shouts.
"What a pleasant surprise..."
"...I guess my gold was well spent then." Elon said thinking back to the huge amount of gold coins which was also small compared to his total net worth, he gave to the contractor.
With his eyes shining with unhidden glee, Elon hurriedly picked up the tool box before entering the quiet home, leaving the streets to its emptiness.
…
Without bothering to hide his curiosity, Elon carefully studied the house interior. Both on earth and in this world this his first time entering such medieval styled commoner's home, even the previous him never entered such houses, which was evident from the lack of memories and familiarity in his heart.
After checking the whole house, Elon became more sure that luck was by his side, filling him with delight.
The house was made up of two ordinary sized bedrooms with plenty of 'left behind furnitures' scattered about , there was only one door exit and a window for each room , settling Elon's worries as to have someone sneaking into one of the rooms without his knowledge.
This weren't the main thing though.
A basement existed below, an underground storage facility once used by a wealthy merchant to store grains, and the people that lived here before were probably undercover servants belonging to the merchant in other to stay inconspicuous.
Entering through the first bed room by the right, Elon opened the tightly shut doors of the old wardrobe, too ordinary to think anything special of.
Then.
…The dark and empty hollow stairs revealed its self below, stretching downward towards darkness , the light sipping through the totally nailed shut window from outside further added a new sense of eerie silence to it.
Though he could have been scared shit ,screaming at any given moment if it was back on earth,but no… with his new found strength, confidence reigned. To put it more bluntly Elon believed that with his strength nothing could stop him in this world or at least in the whole Nylene Kingdom.
I mean.. not everyone had the power to leave dents on a steel surface with their fist.
Crushing his fears, Elon picked up the matchstick by his side,lighting it with a stroke in an unfamiliar motion, as the orange flame sparked to life, reflecting in his eyes the hidden glint of excitement.
Elon step forward into the bleak darkness, transferring the little bit of flame onto the flame stick by the wall side.
Instantly the originally dark underground staircase was illuminated by a yellow glow, casting away the darkness.
Now being able to see almost three meters forward, three other hanged flame torch stick revealed themselves at both side, making Elon nod his head in appreciation.
Stepping downward, Elon didn't bother lighting this torches though.
Filled with eagerness and the intense feeling of exploring further, Elon felt thrilled. Which was something is previous life on earth couldn't give him.
Infact, since Elon discovered that this was a whole new world than his previous one, Elon had been filled with drive and life, a reason to live.
Unlike on earth where he was powerless but had apex rich parents, with his life having no goal to it, Elon felt new and reborn.
After taking more than fifteen steps in total, Elon's feet stepped on a stone tiled floor rough and yet smoothly arranged.
Looking at his sorrounding, unlike what he expected to see, Elon was surprised to see not a single spec of dust. The atmosphere was warm and yet at the same time cool.
Just like the inside of a clay pot, everywhere appeared moist and even the felt clean.
Unable to understand this site, Elon simply concluded that a well was close by, a big one at that, attracting all underground water source from afar, and they just happened to pass through the outer layer of this walls, thereby wetting the sorrounding in an unexplicable manner.
Not a student of science,this was all Elon could concluded from common sense.
With a size of almost eighteen square meters, and a height of more than three point five meters, it far surpassed Elon's former requirement for what he intended to do with it.
Surprisingly, unlike the former with several abandoned properties , for a place once used to store grains there wasn't a single or tiny piece of grain to be found on the floor.
'Was this place licked clean or what?" Elon thought in wonder.
"Time to get the job done" Elon said, taking off his noble robe to reveal his lean figure with barely any packs or muscles to boast about.
