Ernst City.

Grey and Void stared in wonder at the busy city, with carts going in and out.

"Is this like a trade city?" He couldn't help but ask when he saw how high the number of carts and carriages going in and out were.

The lady who was by the side shrugged, "I have no clue, this is my first time here,"

Grey wanted to complain, but since she was stronger than he was, he kept his mouth shut. Even he hadn't been to a lot of places in the Qilin empire which was far smaller than the Eastern Continent.

The duo stepped into the city with Void being held tightly by Grey. Just looking around gave Grey a headache, the number of shiny things was astronomical, he could literally feel Void shaking from excitement.

"What's wrong with him?" The lady asked.

During their journey, she has gotten to know the duo a little. But this was her first time seeing Void like this.

"Those," Grey used his eyes to point at a stall filled with shiny things.

"Those worthless pieces of trash?" The lady asked with a baffled look.

"Yes, he has a weird obsession with shiny things. No matter how useless it was, since it was shiny, then he was good with it," Grey explained.

"That's a weird obsession," The lady remarked.

"A treasure," Void suddenly perked up, looking deeper into the city.

After saying this, one could see him even more visibly excited compared to before.

"Shush!" Grey quickly tried to stop Void from speaking any further.

"There's a treasure in this city,"

Unfortunately, the overexcited Void didn't pay any attention, all he had his eyes on was the treasure he could sense in the city. He had even completely forgotten about the shiny things around.

The lady who was walking with them was startled, "A treasure? He can sense treasures?"

'Void, stop doing this! Even though she doesn't seem to have any bad plans for us now, what if she suddenly decides to kidnap you and you use as a treasure-seeking tool?' Grey chided.

He was furious with how careless Void was. There was still the possibility of the lady having bad thoughts towards them, now Void was giving her an opportunity for greed to take over and give her a reason to kill him. Void would be fine since she would need him alive, but he on the other hand might be killed.

'I'm sorry, it's just that I need this. Very important,' Void apologized with a lowered head.

'Then why did you speak it out loud? You could've at least told me so that we can think of a plan,' Grey asked.

'We can't, we're too weak. But she can, given her bored look, I think she will want the thrill of us stealing something,' Void explained his reasoning behind his actions.

'It might work, but this is dangerous. Before doing anything like this again, at least try to inform me. You're basically putting me in danger with this gamble of yours,' Grey advised.

Void could still be said to be very young, so it was natural that he was sometimes controlled by impulses.

"*Sigh* Yes, yes he can. But only treasures beneficial to him. Since we share some elements, they are still good for me," Grey replied with a somewhat frustrated look.

"Wow! That's an amazing ability," The lady exclaimed, "Hey, little guy, want to get that treasure?"

She turned to look at Void who had already opened his black eyes wide enough that just staring at it made one feel like they were about to get lost in space.

He initially wanted to veg the lady to help with stealing the treasure, who knew he didn't even need to bring it up?

Without even blinking, he nodded continuously.

The lady burst out laughing, covering her mouth. She found Void's reaction to be very cute.

"Alright, you lead the way, we'll follow," The lady said.

"Wait, you're planning to steal it?" Grey asked as if this wasn't what they hoped for.

"Yes, I'm bored. This should at least be able to make me feel a little excited," The lady replied.

Grey did a double-take on the lady, making sure she wasn't a teenager who was pretending to be older just because she was powerful.

"What's with that look, come on, let's go," The lady said.

Grey followed behind the lady who took the lead, following Void's instructions, they soon got deeper into the city.

Ernst City was at least five hundred square kilometers, and the lady told Grey there were over three million people in the city. This was not only the largest city Grey had been to but also the most populated.

Void was happily showing the lady the way, while Grey was carefully observing the city.

Of the three, he was the only one who seemed to care about their safety. Void and the lady were almost the same, carefree and nonchalant towards things that they didn't find important.

After almost three hours of walking, they soon got to a rich district of the city. Surprisingly, it had a wall around it, separating it from the other part of the city. And the reason they knew it was the rich district was that it was boldly written on the top of the gate leading into it.

Just as they were about to step in, they were stopped by the guards at the gate.

Grey secretly started praying for the safety of the guards. The lady with him might lose it at start beating them up, that's if she didn't kill them.

"Stop there, you can't enter this district without permission," The guard said.

Grey couldn't help but recall the guard he met when he went to Eagle's City who was also demanding something like this.

"We are travelers who want to use the teleportation array," He explained.

The teleportation array was safely guarded since it generated good revenue for the city. Not everyone could afford to use it, so whoever said they wanted to use the array would naturally be fully loaded.
