439 438: Importance of a City Registration
'Master is extremely wary of Pamela? Why?'
'I know that Pamela is powerful since she's a leader of one of the top five organizations of the Underworld, but for Master to be extremely wary of her, and for him to have such a reaction from the moment he set his eyes on her, that means Master takes her very seriously.'
'...Maybe even more seriously than the Capra King?'
Although Selene knew that it was absurd of her to compare Pamela, who was a tier 4, to the Capra King, who was as strong as a tier 6 and even some tier 7s, Corey's reaction made her think otherwise.
'Hopefully, we don't have to fight her. I'm tired of fighting people who can kill me with a flick of her finger.'
'Wait... What am I saying?... Aren't I a tier 4 also? I should have a chance... right?'
Unfortunately, Selene found herself wondering how the world had changed so much for her.
'Sigh... Ever since I started following him my view on a lot of things has been shattered... There's no common sense when it comes to him anymore.'
As Selene became lost in her thoughts, Pamela led them to the city hall, and unlike what one would expect, no words were spoken between Corey and Pamela.
Corey's mind was instantly filled with countless battle simulations against Pamela. Meanwhile, Pamela's mind was filled with countless thoughts of Corey.
To her frustration, she knew nothing about Corey, but she was certain that Corey already knew something about her. She just wished what he knew was not too important.
The fact that she lost to Corey in their ability to obtain information fueled her frustration and also her excitement.
Moments later, the trio found themselves in front of an unassuming building that had a plaque at the top saying, City Hall.
They entered, and unlike what Corey and Selene expected, the place barely had people in it. From what Corey could see, there were only four people in it.
Two seemed to be male guards.
One seemed to be a female cleaner, and the last was a female who sat behind an ordinary-looking table.
Corey looked around with raised brows, and he could not help but wonder.
"If you satisfy or please the city lord or those in power, you'll undergo a ritual and be given a permanent ancient seal."
"I have a permanent ancient seal, and no matter where I am, I wouldn't be teleported to a random place when the bell chimes."
Corey's eyes flashed as he stared at the symbol at the back of Pamela's hand.
The symbol looked like the letters G and S joined together beautifully.
"Seems there's a lot I have to learn about this place."
Corey spoke calmly, and Selene's smile widened slightly. She was about to say something, but she paused and slapped her head.
"Oh yeah, there's another reason why it's extremely important for you to register yourself, and this reason is mainly for this city."
Corey and Selene raised their brows.
"The dead can rise in this city."
Corey and Selene's eyes widened in shock and disbelief, and Selene immediately exclaimed loudly.
"What the hell?!"
Pamela chuckled, and then she glanced at the four people in the city hall who remained quiet and were watching them with neutral expressions.
"If somebody dies in Gravenstone City or in that dense fog that's outside Gravenstone City, they become undead or in our words, zombies."
"Because of this, there are rituals and methods that are done by certain people of the city to prevent this."
"This is also why of all the cities, Gravenstone City is one of the cities that place extreme importance on city registration. Assuming one of us dies and we become zombies that have retained a lot of our abilities, it would be a disaster for Gravenstone City."
"With the registration system in place, those in power are able to know when an important or powerful person becomes a zombie and they're able to take precautions."
"Normally, you'd have to go through a lot of annoying tests if I were not here, but now that I'm here, I can vouch for you guys and you guys can obtain a temporary ancient seal."
