93: Kula City, where every inch of land is valuable

Moonlight illuminated the earth.

Inside the inn, Roen raised an eyebrow as he looked at the two remaining pieces of intelligence.

"This alchemy soft sword isn't a custom-made weapon, but rather a standard issue equipment..."

Roen's heart stirred, and he took the soft sword out of his storage space.

Under the moonlight, the alchemy soft sword reflected a chilling gleam.

Immediately after, Roen tentatively condensed the Battle Qi within his body towards the palm of his sword-wielding hand.

The next moment, the originally coiled soft sword slowly straightened its curved arc, eventually becoming perfectly straight.

Roen's eyes were sharp as he carefully examined it.

After he killed Gevas during the day, he had only taken the sword and hadn't observed it closely.

Now, after scanning it up and down, he found that there were indeed no patterns or markings on the sword's body.

"Since it's a standard issue weapon, then I don't have to worry about being recognized when I use this longsword in the future..."

Roen thought to himself, casually twirling the sword.

Generally speaking, weapons are divided into two types.

One type is standard issue weapons, which are ordinary weapons mass-produced in batches.

For example, the longswords and armor of the Knight Order are uniformly issued by the military supply department.

Aside from differences in size and model, their style, materials, and capabilities are all identical.

As for the second type, these are custom weapons.

Alchemists craft them specifically according to the client's needs.

For example, when he went to Kula City last time and bought ores from the blacksmith shop.

He saw a small armor displayed behind the counter.

This armor was very small and light, and on its chest were two small hill-like protrusions.

It was clear at a glance that this was a custom-made lady's armor.

After all, due to the different physical structures of men and women, female breastplates are almost always custom-made.

And Gevas's alchemy soft sword belonged to the first type of standard issue weapon.

Therefore, even if Roen took it out, no one would recognize who the original owner of this sword was.

"Also, Gevas's necklace..."

Roen took out the necklace and played with it in his palm.

The main material of this necklace came from a third-order Wind Demon Wolf.

However, because this wolf fang was a broken tooth from an old wolf, the material was inferior.

In addition, the refining technique was very ordinary, so the final product was only a first-order alchemy construct.

"However, although its rank is low and its ability is relatively ordinary."

"But, if used in conjunction with the Wolf King Breathing Technique, it has its own unique advantages!"

The Wolf King Knights of Kula City used "Wolf King" as their group name for two reasons.

Firstly, because the Kula Family was a werewolf family.

Secondly, because the Wolf King Knights had mastered a group of domesticated wolf-type magical beasts.

They could use Breathing Techniques and auxiliary alchemy constructs like wolf fang necklaces.

To control wolf-type magical beasts, replacing warhorses as special mounts.

Man and wolf as one, they could better utilize the characteristics of the Knight Order, making their combat capabilities even more formidable.

"Maybe, in the future, I can also get a magical wolf and become a Wolf Knight."

Roen fantasized for a moment, then slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, as dawn was breaking.

Roen's biological clock rang on time, and he opened his eyes and woke up.

He left his room, washed up, and then went to the front desk on the first floor.

Next, Roen asked the waiter for a large and filling breakfast, then carried it back to his room.

"I'll go to the Exchange first to rent a house, and then to the bank to withdraw all my hidden gold..."

Roen ate his meal while contemplating his schedule for the day.

An hour later, at the Exchange.

On the third floor, in the property rental area, Roen stepped inside.

"Hello, sir, how may I help you?"

A male agent walked up and asked.

"Hello, I want to rent a house."

Roen said, his gaze sweeping around.

Perhaps because it was early in the morning, there were not many people around.

"Okay, please follow me."

The agent gestured, leading Roen to the counter.

"May I ask your budget and rental requirements?"

The agent politely asked, picking up a stack of documents.

Roen already had a plan, so he stated his requirements one by one.

"I understand..."

The agent listened to Roen's narration while selecting suitable houses from the documents.

After a while, he pulled out three rental listings.

"Sir, according to your requirements, these three residences are all quite suitable."

Roen took the documents and read them carefully.

After a brief consideration, he quickly selected one of the houses.

"I'd like to see this one first, is that possible?"

"No problem, we offer free viewing services, and someone will take you there shortly."

The agent smiled, then found someone to take Roen to view the house.

Soon, in the southwest corner of the Wealthy District.

Inside a residential building, Roen, led by another young agent, entered an apartment.

This apartment was not large, only fifty to sixty square meters.

However, as the saying goes, though the sparrow is small, it has all its internal organs.

In addition to the bedroom for sleeping, it was also equipped with a small kitchen and bathroom.

After checking it over, Roen went to the window to observe the surrounding environment.

After a while.

Roen withdrew his gaze, nodding secretly in his heart.

At this time, there were only about two months left until the Blood Sacrifice at the end of the year, at most.

Therefore, he wanted to find a place to rent that was safe and secluded enough, yet not too far from the Wealthy District.

This way, he could focus on improving his strength and also seize opportunities to investigate and act.

And this house in front of him, although not a detached villa.

Most of the residents in this residential building were ordinary working-class families.

Not to mention mages, there probably wasn't even an Apprentice Knight.

Therefore, as long as Roen was careful and cautious, there would be no problems.

"Sir, what do you think?"

The agent saw Roen turn away from the window and appropriately stepped forward to ask.

Roen heard this, pondered for a moment, then nodded and replied.

"Okay, I'll take this one."

The agent's heart filled with joy upon hearing this.

He thought to himself that this client was truly decisive and didn't procrastinate; he had already decided after only viewing one place.

Thus, the smile on his face became even more enthusiastic.

"Great, let's go back and sign the contract now."

Roen nodded, and then the two returned to the Exchange.

After presenting his residence permit and completing the relevant procedures, Roen finally left the Exchange.

"Five gold coins, gone in an instant..."

On the way back, Roen sighed slightly.

The rent for the apartment he had just rented was two gold coins a month.

Renting for two months would be four gold coins.

In addition to the rent, there was also a one gold coin deposit, totaling five gold coins.

"This Kula City truly is a place where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold..."
