Ruler's Awakening: Inheritor of the SSS-Rank Dimensional Talent

Aaron and Aerith walked together from the stone of light towards the gates of Noah City. Several mages walked in the same direction, some with their party groups, some with their partners, some alone.

There were no checks of any kind upon their arrival at the gate. There was a special detection system in the gate passage that could be checked directly through the control room.

Aaron felt ignorant, not feeling threatened by the detection system. Sure enough! After he stepped through the gate passage, there was no sign of the gatekeeper who was about to approach him.

Behind the city gate, there were skyscrapers with modern architecture. The view of the city landscape was enough to remind Aaron of the grandeur of New York City or other modern cities.

Not only the splendor of Noah City, but the crowds of the city's citizens were also concentrated in several districts, such as the clothing district, food, and the like.

"It's only natural that this city is more magnificent than Lilith City, they really created a cozy atmosphere in this place," Aaron said.

"Of course. I never expected Noah City to be this grand, but it's certainly much better than Lilith City," Aerith replied.

They walked through the districts of the place, ranging from the clothing, equipment, and food districts.

Among the magnificent scenery of the city, there were three large buildings that caught their attention. Aaron stopped walking when he and Aerith arrived at the city center.

"Is that the main headquarters of the three main groups?" asked Aerith, Aaron cleared his throat.

No group with abilities as great as the three main groups could create such a great headquarters. Certainly, it was the main headquarters of the three main groups.

"That's right. Looking at the average mage tier in this city, it's certain that the abilities of the three main groups are not low," Aaron replied.

"They can destroy me easily," Aaron replied.

It was a wise choice for Aaron not to seek trouble with them, even though Aaron had an affinity with the Sky Sword group.

However, if Aaron were to get into a dispute with the Night Liberators group, Sky Sword would not go to the extent of sacrificing their good relations with that group just for Aaron's sake.

They resumed their journey, walking through the city district until their steps stopped in front of an equipment store.

The shop was quite large —the average size of a shop was large— with several customers coming to buy or just look at the items on display.

Haunted by curiosity, Aaron stepped inside and looked at the items sold by the shopkeeper.

The majority of the items on display were items to help with combat, such as STR enhancing potions and so on.

There were also some magic weapons on display, but because the price was quite expensive, not many visitors glanced at it.

The shopkeeper noticed Aaron and Aerith's presence. He stepped inside and met the two people, he knew that Aaron and Aerith were new visitors in town.

"Welcome to my equipment store. Is there anything you need?" asked a man, looking stylish.

There wasn't anything Aaron wanted to buy at the place, he had everything he needed. However, his eyes focused on a black glove with stable magic energy.

The location of the glove was displayed in a glass desk drawer, along with other accessories that could increase one's magic ability.

Aaron stepped closer to the glass desk drawer, the salesman noticed the direction of Aaron's eyes. He asked if Aaron was interested in the gloves?

"With these gloves, you can gain an MP efficiency of 5% of the amount of MP expended when using talents or magic," the salesman replied.

"These gloves do emit their own energy. How does this thing work that it can reduce my MP usage?" Aaron asked.

"This thing is equipped with a ten-eyed Spider web. It is said that the material can help absorb energy better," replied the salesman.

'So, basically, my MP isn't reduced, but patched up with the magic energy accumulated in those black gloves,' said Aaron.

'Anyway, it's a useful item, much better than the gloves I'm currently using,' Aaron said.

"How much is it?"

The salesman beside Aaron smiled. He set the price at 80000 RL to Aaron because he was a new visitor in town, usually he sold such good things in the range of 100000-150000 RL.

"Okay. Give me the gloves," Aaron said.

"Of course, sir."

The man took the black glove from inside the glass drawer, then handed it to Aaron. A successful transaction between them, Aaron didn't have to worry about anything about money —there was plenty of it.

He took off his old gloves and replaced them with the new ones. There was a cool and comfortable sensation on Aaron's fingers and palms, but he didn't know how much effect it had.

Aerith recognized that Aaron's black gloves were indeed unique. She could see it through her eyes.

When Aaron was about to finish his shopping, his eyes suddenly focused on one place. There was a gem emitting a red aura, stored in a wooden box.

Aaron could sense it due to his extremely high level of sensitivity to auras. Haunted by curiosity, the man asked the salesman to show him the gem in the wooden box.

"Oh, this is the Flag of Authority attribute enhancement gem," the salesman replied.

"Can the flag of authority's attributes be enhanced?"

"Yes."

"The enhancements can range from MP efficiency, to authority influence range, to strengthening a person," the salesman replied.

"You seem to know a lot about the Flag of Authority," Aaron said.

"Of course. Sellers have to know a lot of things."

Aaron nodded. It was true that sellers had to know a lot of things, extensive knowledge was a plus for the seller in the eyes of the buyers.

"Give me that thing," Aaron said.

"Sorry, sir. Not that I want to forbid you, but this thing has been pre-ordered," explained the salesman.

"By whom?"

"By me!" insisted someone, arriving at the shop in a group.

Aaron looked back, both eyes squinting at the presence of five people. Only one of the five entered the shop.

Even more surprising, the suits they were wearing were not just any uniforms. It was the uniform of the Night Liberators.

'Night Liberators!' Aaron complained.

The man from the Night Liberators walked in and looked at Aaron with intimidating eyes, as if he was stronger than Aaron.

Aaron sighed, not buying because he was reluctant to come into conflict with the Night Liberators. However, a surprising thing happened that made Aaron stop walking.

"I'm kind of familiar with your face, sir," said the man, standing right in front of the glass desk drawer.

"People say that when they want to intimidate. I don't recognize you, sir," Aaron exclaimed, without turning his head.

When he was about to step out of the shop, Aaron's steps faltered again when four members of the Night Liberators blocked him.

"In that case, would you mind coming with us to the main headquarters?" the man asked.

"I have important business to attend to. I must apologize for refusing your invitation," Aaron said.

Again, they didn't let Aaron move away from the shop. Their intimidating behavior was enough to upset Aerith.

The woman was initially about to fight the four members of the Night Liberators, evident from the maroon magic aura emanating from her body. However, Aaron realized that and immediately calmed Aerith down.

"If I don't want to go, then you can't force me. Everyone knows that!" said Aaron.

Suddenly the man in the shop stepped closer to Aaron, his hand stretched forward to touch Aaron's shoulder. Aaron reflexively turned his head.

"Everyone knows who we are. Don't ever look for trouble with the Night Liberators, sir!" said the man, emitting his magic aura to scare Aaron.

"If we fight, I'm afraid an entire city will be destroyed!" said Aaron.

When the tension was about to peak in the place, a person with an authoritative demeanor came to the district area. He came wearing a blue-patterned white shirt and robe, looking like a nobleman.

The man did not come alone, but rather with five of his members who were equivalent to Great Wizard tier mages. It drew attention from many people, including the Night Liberators man who intimidated Aaron.

"I don't think there needs to be any significant chaos here," the man said, striding steadily toward the shop.

Aaron gasped, the man walking towards him was at least at the Venerable Sage mage tier, on par with him. However, was he aware of Aaron's mage tier? That Aaron didn't know.

"Tch! Elder Kang," chimed in the man behind Aaron.

Not daring to show his aura, the man simply finished his business and walked away. The four members followed their leader.

Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, at least he could get out of trouble with the Night Liberators without coming into conflict with them.

"Thank you for helping me," Aaron replied.

"I didn't help you. I only helped settle your dispute," said Elder Kang.

"Alright, we'll take our leave," Aaron said.

The man invited Aerith to step away from the district to find a safe place, especially since many people were already watching the two.

At the very least, Aaron wanted his first day in this place not to cause conflict. He and Aerith just wanted to enjoy the splendor of the city in peace.

Still in front of the shop, Elder Kang continued to watch Aaron's departure from afar. He knew that Aaron was a Venerable Sage, but it was quite strange that a man as powerful as him did not belong to any group.

"What's wrong, Elder Kang?" asked one of his members.@@novelbin@@

"Nothing's wrong. We're returning to headquarters."
