He could understand where the man was coming from. If he were a parent who saw his child mixing with a suspicious person, he would have the same reaction.
“It was great fun travelling with you! I’ll see you again, milady!” Leylin turned to Jenna with a smile and gave a gentleman’s bow, and Jenna answered with a bashful expression.
Having received the map, Leylin took a quick look at it and entered the trade centre of the south coast, also known as the Teljose Volcano City, where the night was as bright as day.
The burly man waited till Leylin was completely gone before turning to the female Magus, a stern expression on his face.
“Jenna, from what I know, you don’t usually get this close with strangers?”
The large man put on a puzzled expression.
“I don’t know why, but I have some premonition that makes me want to get closer to him…” Jenna’s eyes seemed to cloud over.
“Or perhaps, this is what fate decreed!”
“That seems plausible!” The man scratched his head. “The high-grade meditation technique that you’re cultivating in may not be very powerful, but at times, it is able to accurately pinpoint a trace of the future. Since that Magus gives you such a peculiar feeling, do you need me to send someone to check out…”
“Leave it! I have a feeling that if we do that, it’ll definitely incur his displeasure.”
Jenna’s eyes suddenly turned completely white, with no hints of any other colour.
“Twice! You actually made two prophecies about him!”
The burly man looked shocked. “That Magus’ fate is sure to be intertwined with yours!”
“Not me, but the whole of the south coast!”
The female Magus’ eyes regained their colour, cold sweat pouring down her face. She looked as if all of her energy had been wrenched from her.
“Quick, send me back to grandmother’s place!”
Jenna spat out and immediately fainted.
“Jenna! Jenna!” The expression on the burly man’s face was grim as he held her in his arms and quickly left the area…
Leylin, however, was completely oblivious to the situation. He was currently strolling through the streets of the Nightless City.
The moment he entered, Leylin’s first impression was—People! A sea of people!
Numerous heads were gathered close to each other, forming a sea of blackness. There were also various stores, as well as stands that were messily displayed. The constant haggling and bawling noises attacked the ears.
Many Magi and acolytes who were dressed in different coloured clothing were arguing aggressively with the vendors.
This almost reminded Leylin of the markets in his previous world.
However, the different races that he saw within the masses brought him back to the present.
There was the scaly marine race, the sub-humans with fur and marks all over their bodies, the smaller version of giants who were over five meters tall, as well as the little green people who had pairs of transparent wings on their backs, dancing gracefully in the air.
Many lifeforms from the Magus world were communicating with each other, their speech slipping back to parts of their own languages.
Among the humans, Leylin even saw several regular humans who had absolutely no energy waves radiating from them, and yet they were still confidently trading items on the street out in the open.
“My Lord, is it your first time in Nightless City?”
Leylin’s intrigued expression naturally attracted the attention of many people. A man who was so skinny that he was like a stick approached Leylin as he bowed, wearing a flattering expression on his face.
“Do you need a tour guide? My fee is definitely the lowest. Moreover, my home is within Nightless City, so I am familiar with every nook and cranny in this place!”
“Are you the ‘ears’ of this city?”
Leylin inquired to clarify.
“Of course. If there is anything that you want to know, I could also make some inquiries…”
“What is your name?” Leylin asked.
“Sean! My Lord, you can call me Sean.” The thin man was delighted as this situation meant it was possible to seal the deal.
“Good. I wish to stay here for an extended period of time. Take me to a place where I can rent some lodgings. It must have all the facilities!”
“If you wish to stay here for long, renting an apartment which is in the heart of Nightless City would be the most worthwhile!” Sean said quickly without needing to think.
As if fearing that Leylin did not understand, Sean quickly went on, “The heart of the city is controlled by several large factions that back Nightless City. There are different types of apartments for sale, and they are generally quite safe and convenient…”
“Very well, let’s go there!”
Leylin nodded his head, and Sean hurriedly led the way with a gleeful expression.
After going through the throng of people and walking for about half an hour, Sean brought Leylin to a small door.
