Darius Supreme Chapter 240
Advertisement
Luckily for the group, the lines were separated by class and stage. With one for civilians, another for nobles, Amateurs having their own, and so on. As such, Darius and Gunner directly joined the Adept line with Xela standing uncertainly beside them.
She was naturally worried that she might be pulled aside or called out for being where she wasn't supposed to be, but her worry was needless. Very few Adepts traveled alone in the world of Faust, often bringing along their apprentices, disciples, wards, or servants.
The fact that Gunner and Darius were two young Adepts with one elven beauty beside them made their group stand out, but also appear all the more important. Nobody bothered them and they moved through the relatively thin line slowly but surely until it reached their turn.
There were two workers on either side of the barrier leading to the gate. One was an elderly Adept male and the other was a Journeyman female who was averagely pretty.
The old man gazed at Darius' party and was astounded before smiling gently. "Greetings, young lad. Where would you like to go today?"
Darius and Gunner both bowed to show respect to this senior, making his smile widen, before Darius took the lead. "We would like to head to Elysium, specifically the City of Divinity."
The old man nodded and checked through the records before him. "Names and ages, please. If you have your own territory, please report it too."
Darius, Gunner, and Xela did as they had been asked. Next, the old man asked them to sign beside their names that they weren't using the portal to go and cause harm to their place of arrival.
This was a necessary measure to prevent liability in the case that someone was planning to move through official channels to cause war or excessive trouble. When investigations were done and the source location of the perpetrator found, they would have to bear a lot of headache to absolve themselves.

Darius could see that down the line, the commoners and nobles were being searched. Even Amateurs and Journeymen weren't spared, only that the courtesy and intensity of the search done to them was far less intensive.
As for Adepts, no one dared to search them easily. This was clearly classist, but every society had such favoritism towards the more powerful and affluent.
Darius only internally shook his head at this and paid the fee for the three of them, which came to 50,000 Favelian Ruxes. 20,000 for Darius and Gunner, and 10,000 for Xela.
Seeing as he still had enough, Darius and his group were released and walked through the barrier towards the shining portal that was 10 feet in height and at least 20 feet in width, making it quite sizable.
There was a smaller line here of people that had passed other queues to input their destinations and wait for the re-calibration. However, even here, there was a disparity.
The moment Darius and co came in, they immediately became the next after the current person in waiting who was a Journeyman. Behind them were another two Journeymen as their line was processed almost as quickly as Adepts, and a few Amateurs.
As for commoners, they would be lucky if one group got to teleport every half hour.
Soon, it was the turn of Darius and his group, and he naturally reported their destination. Since Elysium was far away, the calibration took quite a while.
Luckily, Elysium was a place that welcomed all tourists and travelers to accept their various faiths, so Darius, Gunner, and Xela got to cross through the portal within 5 minutes.
Darius had to admit, the feeling of teleportation using this portal was... exceedingly terrible. It felt like someone had forcibly yanked him from one end to another with a rope tied around his waist, his momentum only coming to a stop once he reached the other side.

Gunner and Xela also came out after him, with Gunner sporting a light grimace while Xela ended up pale. After all, she had been reset to level 1 as an Amateur under the Supreme System, so she had suffered the most.
She immediately waved her hand and a bright light enveloped the three of them, greatly relieving their discomfort. Darius then motioned for them to leave and not block the exit of the portal, which his two servants complied with.
They were currently located within a large hall within a temple. Darius could see many more portals like this spread out across the hall, people continually being spat out with varying degrees of dismay.
Compared to the smooth and barely noticeable discomfort that came from using transmuted Warp scrolls, Darius understood that this was the standard for spatial transfer in Faust.
As for his spells like Blink and Group Teleportation, they were all cast through the Supreme System, which did so to perfection, so their quality was higher than the average.
As such, he and Gunner, or anyone else that used such a method, felt nothing at all. Then again, it came with the huge limitation that was his mana capacity, so there was that.
Darius walked down the steps from the portal and met with two workers here who asked them to fill in their visiting details and the purpose of their visit.
Darius stated that he was here to pay homage to the temple of the Thunder God, Thor, which made the two workers smile and gush out praises for the divinities.
Despite it all, Darius actively encouraged and responded to their speech, also talking like someone intrigued by the gods. Seeing that he was such a young, handsome and amiable fellow, as well as an Adept, the workers didn't pressure him too much before letting the group leave.
They didn't even check Gunner and Xela, seeing that one was an elf and the other was also an Adept. After coming out of the reception hall for incoming foreigners, Darius and his group were able to see the so-called City of Divinity which stood at the center of the Elysium continent.
