The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak Chapter 500 - Central Continent

Chapter 500 - Central Continent

"So this is the Earthen Core City?"
Souta muttered while looking at the gigantic wall that reached over fifty meters as he removed the hood on his head.
"Yes, according to the information that we've gathered this is the Earthen Core City. One of the most prosperous cities in the central continent."
A tall woman with beautiful red hair replied to him. She was Amanda Brune, the witch that join his group weeks ago.
"I see... Then, we'll start gathering information in this city." Souta nodded as he walked forward to enter the city.
Amanda looked at the top of the walls one more time before she followed Souta. Just like Souta, it was her first time in the central continent so she didn't know a lot of things here.
She glanced at Souta before turning her eyes on the figure of a little girl that was following him. That little girl was called Yenxa and this girl was strange. Her language was different so she couldn't converse with this girl. Also, the appearance of this girl wasn't normal even for a demi.
Amanda sighed and put those thoughts in the back of her mind before she followed the two.
Entering this city was easy, they just needed to pay one thousand copper coins. So the three entered the city without any problem.
Souta decided to visit the central continent after some contemplation. He decided it because he thought that it would be the best course of action before he took aggressive action against the forces in this land.
In the southern continent, no one knows about his plan except for his trusted comrades and he knew that they wouldn't betray him. He had an insurance after all.
So it means that even if the forces here discovered him they wouldn't be able to find where he came from. It would be close to impossible to link him to the southern continent.
Souta had two reasons why he came here ahead of time. The first was to find the traces of Council of High-World. If he confirmed the existence of council in this world then it would change the rest of his plans. The second was to complete the chain quest that he triggered through Amanda.
He already asked Amanda about the massacre of her clan and she told him everything about it. That's he decided to visit this place first.
[False] Quest 2: According to the information that you've gathered the one responsible for the witch clan is in the central continent. Find the traces of the witch clan in the central continent and you will discover the truth about the incident decades ago.
Reward: 7 skill points, 15 free attribute points, and 50,000 exp
The words "you will discover the truth" sounded in his mind. It seems that there's more to it than what he thought. Amanda thought that what she saw was the truth and she believe it but what if someone cast an illusion spell on her.
After all, she was a child at that time and a simple spell could easily influence her mind.
But 7 skill points... It was harder than he thought. He didn't have any influence on this place so he had to find information manually. Also, if the people responsible for the massacre of witch clan found that some people were digging into the past incidents they wouldn't sit idly and watch him discover the truth. They will undoubtedly come at him with ill intention.
And he didn't want that to happen. He had to first confirm the existence of the council before he took the route of violence.
Souta, Yenxa, and Amanda entered the city. They quickly find an inn and leave their things there before they go out to gather some information. Since Yenxa couldn't converse with humans and demis yet she was left in their room to guard their things.
Earthen Core City was a huge city that has a population of more than ten million people. It was one of the most famous cities in the entire central continent and a lot of powerhouses were could be found in this place.
It wasn't easy to control this number of people that's why the city was divided into seventy-two zones. Each zone was ruled by different factions but mostly it came from the government that called themselves Union Peace.
Union Peace was the government of this land and it was mysterious. A lot of people didn't know about it except for the fact that they were responsible for the entirety of land.
A powerful organization that controlled most of the land in the central continent was indeed fearsome.
The strongest people in other continents were only at Annihilation Realm yet this land had Extinction Realm which was above the Annihilation Realm so it wasn't easy to control this land. Yet, they managed to do it.
Souta and Amanda came back to the inn when the sun goes down. They haven't gathered any important information except for the basic knowledge of this land but it was enough for now. At least, they weren't ignorant about the things in this land.
They had a lot of time so this day wasn't a problem for them.
"This city is really powerful... I don't know how many Disaster Realm I saw today. Also, I even saw some Extermination Realm which was rarely seen in the southern continent." Amanda said with a sigh. She realized how hard it is to find a clue about the massacre of her clan.
"Tomorrow, you'll head to the library to know the history of this land. I heard that there's a huge library in Zone 31." Souta glanced at her before he took a sip of coffee.
Yenxa stood at his side with a calm expression. She was waiting for his orders.
"Zone 31? I see... I have no problem with it but I wanted to slowly contact the ruling forces of this city to gather more detailed information. Is that okay?" Amanda asked as she tucked the hair that was falling on her face to her left ear. Her simple movement like this was alluring and it even caught Souta's attention.
"Yeah, just stay out of any trouble. Your power level is an A-rank but I think that it's not enough even if you use parasite." Souta said to her.
"I know, I will avoid any unnecessary trouble. Our goal this time is to gather information." Amanda said then she slightly bowed her head and added, "Thank you for doing all of this for me. I will be forever grateful to you."
"It's nothing. Since you've joined our group, naturally, I will help you solve your problem first." Souta shook his head. He wouldn't even help this woman if not for the chain quest that she provided.
He wouldn't mind earning dozens of skill points before he arrived in Imperium. Also, if he confirmed the council was here then he would go to retrieve that.
The confrontation between him and the council was inevitable. It would undoubtedly push him to the limit so he didn't plan to reveal his forces on the southern continent or else the council would target it first.
Souta looked at Amanda and Yenxa before he said, "Okay, you can rest for now. I have something I need to do."
Before they could react Souta already left the room.
Souta glanced at the dark sky and recalled some events in the game. If he was right, the demons had already launched an attack on God's Continent and Giza Continent. Since there were no players that could respawn with a given time, no one would be able to cut down the forces of the demons.
The forces of demons would easily swallow a quarter part of the two continents. It would take some time before the two continents launched a counterattack.
Before Souta could realize it, he was already on Zone 70. There was a huge brothel here and he wanted to release his stress this night.
He hasn't done it for a while and Amanda's appearance made his urge spike up.
'This is the red-light district of this city...'
Souta said inwardly while looking around. This place was full of brothels and attractive girls that were waiting outside of different buildings.
Different perfume went to his nose as he continued to walk forward. Men were entering different buildings and women were calling them out. Some of the women invited him and already stated their prices for one night but he decided to ignore them.
'What are you planning? I thought that you would pick any random girl to release your stress.' Saya's voice sounded in his mind.
'Nope, since I've had a lot of money, I decided to go to the high-class brothel and picked a decent prostitute that could somehow handle me.' Souta replied to her.
'I see... You're a third evolution monster so an ordinary girl wouldn't be able to handle you. If you did it with an ordinary girl you had to be careful as an ordinary girl is like a fragile glass with your current strength.' Saya said.
"I'm here."
Souta muttered as he raised his head and looked at the mansion in front of him. This huge mansion didn't like a brothel at all.. It felt like it was an estate of a noble family but the fact that it was here in the red light district and also the girls in front tells everyone that it was indeed a brothel for high class people.
