As nick pressured the 4 women it was plain to see that they could only just keep themselves from kneeling much less anything else , this was surprisingly especially true of the girl who spoke previously.

The girl was obviously only still standing from sheer willpower. "Oh what's wrong you were saying what you were going to do to us , go on stand up straight and do it or get lost before I lose my reason!" Nick says before sending a chocolate of aura at the 4 knocking them backwards violently.

The 4 got up quietly and ran away from nick and Jakob with the one who spoke being even more frantic in her escape .

Right as nick was about to leave immediately after the women escaped the voice of the girl echo's back "you are going to marry me when I find you again mister!"

Nick was speechless at the girls forwardness.

"Is that normal?" Nick asked jakob obviously confused. Jakob chuckled "well judging from how she talked and how high her cultivation was she should be be from a large family so she probably thinks you can improve it if she married you based on your bloodline." He said while smirking at nick mockingly. "Which is to say yes it is very normal.'he finished.

Nick complained to jakob about it for the rest of the trip which irritated him to no end though they weren't stopped by any more bandits along the way which was quite nice for them. After about a day of travel they come across the city in the distance. The city lay upon the lake which was called mereth looking like an island that was square in shape that had a long bridge going all the way to the city from the shore.

"Finally made it huh?" Nick said to Jakob. Jakob nods thankful."well we should probably head to the transportation office to see about heading to the capital." He said while he steps onto the bridge.

They walked along the path to the city gate which was 2 massive door that were open revealing the city behind the checkpoint ahead. The city was a green color from the algae that slicked the wet walls and ground . nick walked to the checkpoint and paid the entrance rice of 12 silver for both him and jakob Before getting directions to the transportation office which was ironically a block away from the entrance. Nick marveled at the design of the city as they walked to the office. The building were made so that the entire building can be submerged underwater without the inside getting even slightly wet due to the fact that each house had a passive inscription that repels moisture from the door causing it to function much like a moonpool.

"Judging from the design of the buildings this city seems to be underwater occasionally." Nick said to Jakob with awe in his voice.Jakob nods "the city of mereth is made in order to be a pain for morals to attack because 1 of its defensive strategies is to lower itself to the bottom of the lake making fighting in or towards it nearly impossible for mortal weapons."he says patiently.

Nick is even more in awe after learning that the entire city was built to sink without harming itself. After they arrive at the transportation office they walk in to a room filled with cultivators talking to each other or a teller for their transportation . nick walks up to a perky blonde teller with a flat c.h.e.s.t and skinny face.

"Hi, my name is melissa how can I help you today?" The teller ask with a service smile. "Hello melissa , could you arrange to have me and my friend here to teleport to the capital." Jakob says with a smile. The teller nods before sorting through her desk before pulling out two slips of paper and says "2 tickets to modus city will cost 10 mid grade spirt stones each." Nick hands the teller his share and Jakob follows suit before the teller hands them the tickets. "Here you are , to use the tickets go over to the transportation room at the end of the hall behind me and place the tickets the the crystal or in the middle of the array it will do the rest, I hope you have a good day." The teller says before moving aside to let nick and Jakob passing into the corridor behind her.
