Chapter 30 THE ELDARA CITY

"Oh it's you young master Morris, forgive me for my ignorance, you pass as much as you want" The entrance guard said in a more polite tone before he suddenly faced Kaelen. But before he could say anything to him, Morris suddenly spoke up as he began to walk past the gates. "He is my guest to the Grey family's residence" "Oh! Forgive me again young master. You may also pass" The entrance guard said in a surprised tone before he hurriedly went to a side and allowed Kaelen to also pass. 'It seems like I really need to know what sort of family Morris is in' Kaelen thought in shock as he began to walk pass the gates along with Morris. "During the time you came to this city with the vice principal of this academy, what did you observe about the city?" While still passing through the entrance to the academy, Morris suddenly asked with a curious look on his face. "Well nothing noteworthy, the city just look ordinary to me" Kaelen answered with a honest look on his face. "If so, then you will be highly shocked when you see this same city now" Morris said as he suddenly pointed forward. Kaelen who was looking at Morris at the time saw him pointing at something and immediately turned to look towards that place. And what he saw left him completely dumbfounded as he thought. 'Am I dreaming?' As Kaelen approached the capital city of Eldoria, he couldn't help but marvel at its grandeur and elegance. Nestled in a sprawling valley, the city spread out like a vast, gleaming jewel. From a distance, the skyline was dominated by towering spires and domes, their surfaces catching the light of the sun and reflecting a myriad of colors. The tallest among these was the Royal Citadel, an imposing structure of white marble and gold, standing as a testament to the city's ancient lineage and regal heritage. The city was surrounded by formidable stone walls, fortified and well-guarded, yet they couldn't contain the vibrant life within. As Kaelen passed through the main gates of the academy, he was struck by the bustling energy of Eldoria's streets. Paved with smooth cobblestones, the roads were lined with an array of shops and stalls, offering everything from exotic spices and silks to magical artifacts and weapons. The air was filled with the sounds of merchants calling out their wares, the laughter of children, and the melodious tunes of street performers. The architecture of Eldoria was a blend of the old and the new. Ancient stone buildings, covered in ivy and adorned with intricate carvings, stood side by side with newer constructions of glass and steel, showcasing the city's adaptation to modern advancements without losing its historical charm. Ornate lanterns hung from wrought iron posts, casting a warm glow over the streets as evening approached, giving the city an inviting and cozy atmosphere. Kaelen noticed that the people of Eldoria were as diverse as the goods they traded. Citizens of all races and backgrounds mingled freely, their clothing and accents hinting at the myriad cultures represented within the city's walls. There was a sense of unity and shared purpose, an undercurrent of pride in the city's role as the heart of the country. **Description: Follow the nearby mythical beast to its layer** **Rewards:Store Feature and coin distribution unlocked!!** **Penalty for Failure: None** 'Store feature? Coin distribution? What the hell is wrong with this system?' Kaelen thought with a confused look on his face. But he didn't have the time to curse the system in his body as his eyes could oddly see a blue marker on top of a man. This man appears as an unassuming middle-aged man, dressed in simple, well-worn clothing that blends seamlessly into any crowd. His hair, a shade of deep brown streaked with gray, falls to his shoulders in a slightly unkempt manner, giving him the look of a weathered traveler or scholar. Despite his ordinary appearance, there is an unsettling quality to him that one might not immediately pinpoint. His eyes, a striking shade of amber, seem to hold a depth of knowledge and secrets, as if they have witnessed countless ages. They possess an unnatural gleam, a flicker of something wild and untamed lurking beneath the surface. When he speaks, his voice is smooth and calm, yet there is an undercurrent of something more primal, a resonance that can make the hairs on the back of one's neck stand on end. Right at this moment, this man could been walking out of the shop and is going towards the southern part of the city. **Mythical creature detected** **Name: Chimera Wraith** **Description: A Chimera Wraith is an enigmatic and formidable creature, born from the fusion of various mythical beasts. Its true form is a nightmarish amalgamation, blending traits from different animals and spirits into a singular, awe-inspiring entity. The creature exudes an aura of ancient power and mystery, making it a rare and feared presence in the world. The Chimera Wraith is not only a physical marvel but also a master of arcane arts. It has the ability to wield various forms of magic, often derived from the creatures it embodies. For example, it can breathe fire like a dragon, summon storms like a thunderbird, or weave illusions like a trickster spirit. Its magic is as versatile as its form, making it an unpredictable and dangerous adversary.In addition to its magical prowess, the Chimera Wraith can shift its form to some extent, adopting traits from the creatures it has absorbed. This adaptability allows it to change its tactics in battle, making it a formidable opponent who is difficult to counter** 'What a detailed description' Kaelen thought with a satisfied look on his face. Morris who caught notice of this hurriedly asked. "Kaelen, I hope you are ok?" "Yeah am fine, I just discovered something that might make me to forget all my worries for a while" Kaelen answered with an excited smile on his face.
