Chapter 942 Getting to Know the City (1)

“Master, right now we are in Ravengarde. This is the capital city of the Light Cay, the home of Stonewall. We are in the center of the island, thousands of kilometers away from the sea.

But despite its monumental size, Ravengarde is not entirely accessible to you right now. Only the core of the city has the formations that protect our area from the dense mana of this region. If you try to set foot outside the 49 central city blocks, you’ll explode and die.

But the most important services and areas of the city are available to you within the area you can access. Here you can visit the Central Library, the Combat Arenas, the Zoo, the Forges, in short, all kinds of services you might be interested in.

As for how to get to each area, just tell me where you want to go and I’ll take you there.” She finished with a smile on her face, looking eager to be walking around the city.

“Can you get out of this house? I thought you were part of the structure,” He asked doubtfully.

“If you don’t want to, I can stay. But the entire central area of Ravengarde is accessible to me and other artificial intelligences.”

“By the way, are you and the other AIs connected in any way? What guarantee do I have that you’re not at my side spying on me?” He asked provocatively, sensing that regardless of her answer, the power behind this place would watch him 24 hours a day.

She showed no displeasure at his question. “We are connected to the same data pool, so we all have the same common knowledge. But our personal experiences with our masters are stored in individual memories, so only I will know what you teach me and what I witness.

However, I admit that it is possible to access these memories and replicate them. But it’s against the rules of the sect, and it’s difficult to do. One would have to be very interested in you and have a lot of power within the sect to be able to do it.

There must be about five people in the entire sect who can do that, and they are all Grand Magus. Unless you have a reason to attract their attention, it would be unlikely to happen.”

‘She’s more sincere than I thought.’ Vicente looked away as he prepared for a walk through the city. ‘But her answer isn’t bad… I won’t show Prisiche anything compromising. Most of the things I’ve talked to her about are also about my ignorance or a place that is simple and inaccessible to the people of this place.’

Prisiche finished her answer, “But the master has the possibility to deactivate me at any time. I don’t recommend it, because I can really make your life a lot easier here, but it is possible for you to go to the machine room in this residence and deactivate the main formation. It can only be deactivated with your magic mark, so you’ll have to use your powers.”

“When did you get my magic mark?” This really surprised Vicente.

He had not yet displayed his powers in Anicane! freewёbnoνel.com

She smiled at him. “Our formations on the Nine Paths Platform have already read all the information there is to read about you, master. When you received your registration, your mark was already engraved on me.”

‘That’s scary…’ He stopped at the door of this residence, terrified and curious. “By the way, how much does your sect know about me? In particular, how much of my powers can the members of Stonewall find out by accessing my ID?”

“Everything,” She answered briefly, watching Vicente’s subsequent silence.

‘Everything?’ He swallowed his saliva, seeing he couldn’t hide his majestic pentagram configuration.

“But that’s good for you, master,” she added after a moment. “Just as few people in the sect can access my memories, few can access your full profile. Even those who have access to it are obligated to keep information about sect members confidential.

The most that can happen is that they want to show you favoritism, considering how talented you are.”

“Do you know my pentagram configuration, Prisiche?” He asked, looking into her eyes, getting used to her more and more, seeing her less as an artificial intelligence and more as a living person.

“Which of the two magical forms do you want to know, master?”

“I see.” He sighed in defeat and immediately tried to see things from her point of view. ‘I really have to hope that this only helps me. I just can’t let Stonewall’s enemies find out. Otherwise, I’ll be hunted without ever having done anything in Anicane.’

“Forget it. Take me on a tour of the area I can visit. I want you to show me my new home.” He ordered as he left the built-up area of the estate.

She followed him in two jumps, thrilled to get out of the house and walk around the city.

“By the way, master, I don’t know what your life was like in the Polaris Realm, but you need to eat and rest soon. During the year you’ll be under the effects of ascension, you need to treat your body as if it were that of a mortal without cultivation.

I don’t really understand the logic behind this, but those who don’t eat and rest properly during their year of adjustment always have problems on their cultivation journeys. It must be because of the difference in cultivation between their original home and our plane. Anyway, just make sure you eat and rest every day.”

Vicente was not surprised. He could feel his body changing to adapt to this reality, so it made sense for him to use local resources to speed up the process. As for the rest, it should be a way for the changes to happen faster and easier.

When the matter died down, Vicente found himself walking on a bustling sidewalk, from which he had a magnificent view of the city. He could see various vehicles flying from one side to the other, elevators, trains, flying boats, and much more.

To a newcomer who wasn’t paying attention, the place might seem chaotic. But under Vice’s scrutiny, he realized that there were very well-organized pathways, not only on the surface, but at various levels of the atmosphere.

Even though only a small area of Ravengarde was available to him, the area in question was as large and busy as the actual Metal City he had left behind in the Polaris Realm!

There were so many people in the streets that Vicente could easily blend into this place without attracting too much attention, considering the fact that there were several people with humanoid appearances like his own.

Seeing people coming and going in the area, looking like they were working, shopping, in short, living their lives, he asked Prisiche, “How many of these people are artificial intelligences like yourself?”

“Half of them, master. All the citizens of Ravengarde have some kind of AI in their homes. Not everyone has models as complete as mine, but in this area of the city, everyone definitely does.”

“Impressive. I would never have guessed that so many of them are artificial beings…” Vicente murmured quietly.

“By the way, how do I buy things here? The resources I brought from…” As he spoke, Vicente remembered looking at his spatial ring for the first time, which contained only a few artifacts that reminded him of his family—such as a set of clothes of each of his wives and also of Annie, as well as portraits of each of them.

He changed his expression, feeling his heart heavy in his chest, as he couldn’t help but forget what he was doing.

But Prisiche couldn’t read minds, so she replied to her master, “The items you brought from Polaris Realm have no value here, master. Since there are some differences in the laws of our planes, nothing that works in Polaris Realm would work here. So they have no exchange value.

But newbies like you are entitled to an allowance from the sect until they start performing missions. Currently, you have 100,000 stone coins in your account. Don’t worry about collecting them, I also have a virtual wallet function.”

Vicente sighed as he put his thoughts aside, but he was happy that his spatial ring had survived the journey between the two planes.

“Stone coins?”

“This is the official currency of the Light Cay. You will earn that amount every month until you become an active member of the sect. When that happens, everything you do for the sect will be paid in stone coins, along with other special payments based on your achievements.

But I recommend caution, master. 100,000 stone coins should be just enough for you. Try to become an active member of the sect as soon as possible.” She recommended, while Vicente was curious about the prices in this city.

But as long as he didn’t know the price of the services most relevant to his strengthening and adaptation, he didn’t want to spend money on anything that wasn’t truly irreplaceable.

“I see… Let’s go to the library and the other most important places in the area.” He ordered her.
