"Finally," I said loudly as half an hour was over.
I stepped out of the gazebo and looked at the Primes.
They are scanning two people. I wanted to give these bastards a middle finger, but that wouldn't be wise.
So, I simply gave them a look before walking toward the compound. I wanted to run toward it, but I controlled my gait and walked toward it casually.
It made seconds feel like an hour.
Time seemed to pass even slower than it had in the gazebo where I was worried about every second about being found out.
Finally, I had reached the compound.
It took great willpower to take the step forward as casually as possible.
The test didn't end after passing the last prime. It continues till one, enters the compound.
Those bastards watch every movement till them.
I entered inside and worried, I had disappeared. Here, I am safe. Nobody would be able to do anything to me, even if they found out who I am.
I looked at the gate.
It's a simple wooden gate. The only distinctive thing about it is its size and thickness.
It is the gate to the secret realm.
It is a realm within a realm. Dangerous place, that remains open for only ten days, but those ten days could give one a reward greater than what this realm gave in the six months.
It has everything. Including the forest of laws.
The place that the primes desire to go the most. It is the place to comprehend the law, with a powerful formation that increases comprehension power temporarily.
Even with that, only one hundred primes could comprehend the law, which is a great odd. Comprehending the laws is extremely difficult. It requires time and a bit of luck.
It's so difficult that more than half of the primes never do that in their lifetime.
I moved my eyes away from it and looked at the people. There are fewer than thousands of them. This isn't a surprise, given very few could survive in an environment .
I looked at each face and felt relieved that I didn't spot any familiar primes.
I heard from the Primes. That Tor didn't send their Primes inside is wise. It would be extremely dangerous for me and also for them.
Though I saw a few people from Tor and quite a lot of people are looking at them.
I controlled my emotions and walked toward the store. Seeing them, my heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
There are Primes manning the store and the things they have brought out are rare and hard to get, but here they are simply selling them.
I wanted to buy them, but I controlled myself.
I can not buy everything. They have my information. It limits my options, but despite that, there are a lot of things I could buy.
I am going to buy them, and I hope, the money, I have will be enough.
I reached my first store and started buying.
I have till the evening when the doors to that place will open. It isn't much time; it is why I didn't take out my abode to rest and simply moved on to the shopping.
All the resources I am buying are related to shopping. Though, now and then, I would buy the resources in alchemy and healing.
If I strictly buy practice resources. That might arouse the suspicion.
However, many practice resources are dual-use. They could be used in alchemy, artifice, healing, and many other things, and I have picked many of those dual-use things, I needed.
I was in the midst of shopping when my clone informed me about something.
It made my eyes light up, and I wanted to enter my core immediately. I didn't, it is not going anywhere, but stores would.
So, I focused on shopping.
It is a good thing I killed so many Primes and powerful Sky Sovereigns. The resources I got from their storage are being helpful to me right now.
Also, the ones, I had got from the grove. I have got a lot of resources from the grove.
These are the only resources I could use. I cannot use the ones I had grown in my core. They didn't know about them, as far as I could tell, but I want to be cautious.
Soon, I stopped in front of another store and immediately felt the hateful gaze.
It is manned by the woman who chased me crazily.
"I want qaeldr quarts," I said. "Do you have any of these resources?" she asked, surprising
me. Googlᴇ search novel·fire.net
To be honest. I was expecting 'fuck you,' but despite glaring at me angrily, her voice was rational. Though I do not doubt that she will kill me the moment she gets the chance.
"Yes," I replied, and after a moment, I negotiated. I chose quarts.
I had brought nine more things from her store, before moving away.
I moved around the stores, buying things, I am not the only one. Most of the people are doing
the same. It is a great opportunity, but they one hard to come by.
They are milking it for all its worth.
I was buying things when a young average-looking man appeared beside me.
He didn't look at anything and didn't even look at me, nor I at him, but I know, who it is.
I am not surprised that the shaman was able to enter the compound. If he hadn't been through this resource, he wouldn't have survived the long he did.
I wanted to shout his name, but I didn't.
It won't be helpful. Instead, it will bring me into trouble. It is why, not even my expressions changed. With everybody looking at everybody, it had become more important here to guard one's expression.
I continued to shop around. Going to the one store, twice and even thrice as the new stuff
Soon, the last hour begins.
As it happened, things changed rapidly. More people began to come inside, and store owners started to take out the rare stuff.
The scrutiny of each other had also intensified further. So much, they begin to look at every
