Chapter 256 256 - Doubt

"Are you sure that you are coming over to learn magic?" The guard asked clearly unsure if it was actually the case.

However, as much as Aiden knew how to lie, right now he wasn\'t doing that in the least.

"Yes, I am," Aiden replied, happy that what he had come up with seemed to make sense.

Thinking back on it, he had to say that he appreciated whoever had named that city that way since that was the reason he had gotten the audacity to say such a thing.

Also, it made sense that in the Magic City, there was magic.

"Alright, then wait there for a bit someone will come down and open the gates for you," the guard said as he slowly walked back from the edge of the rampart.

However, what he had just said confused Aiden a little.

\'The gates? What is he talking about?\' He questioned to himself.

All he could see at the moment was a big wall which was made out of stone.

There was no door or anything that could allow Aiden to enter the Magic City.

Then, as he waited for a few minutes, he was starting to get quite impatient since he still couldn\'t see any signs of that stone wall opening.

But, as he thought that there was no option at all, the stone wall started to slowly open little by little as if the stone weren\'t even real in the first place.

As this was happening, Aiden was able to hear a faint voice from the other side of the wall.

"It won\'t be long, you will soon be able to enter."

That was what Aiden had understood at least, as he couldn\'t be sure if that was actually what had been said.

Then, the stones continued to be removed from the wall as started to form a hole, a quite fancy at that.

The stones were moving in such a way that an entrance was literally created right in front of Aiden\'s eyes.

\'Yeah no doubt, there\'s a lot of people using magic in this city,\' he thought, happy that the system had sent him to the right place.

Imagine if he had instead been sent in the middle of nowhere or close to a city where only people using swords existed.

That would have been literal hell for Aiden and it would have, by the occassion, rendered this whole trial completely impossible.

Then, the stone stopped moving and there was a full on opening in the ramparts, it seemed that this was the gate that the guard from earlier had talked about.

Without losing anytime, Aiden started walking forward wanting to enter the city.

However, before he could do so, one of the guard from earlier appeared in front of him.

"Where are you going this fast, pay up," the guard said holding one of his hands forward, seemingly waiting for payment.

This confused Aiden greatly as he couldn\'t understand why he needed to pay something right now.

Normally, he wouldn\'t have had any problem paying whatever, but he had no money from this world, so what could he do at the moment except bargaining which was exactly what he had thought of doing.

"How much is it?" asked Aiden, acting like he was able to the price for the entrance.

He wanted to learn how much the entrance was before offering something in exchange.

However, he quickly realized that this plan was flawed as he had absolutely no idea of the value of this world.

Nonetheless, Aiden knew that it probably shouldn\'t cost too much money to simply enter a city, that made no sense whatsoever.

"2 gold coins," the guard replied.

Aiden simply nodded hearing the price, thinking about something that he could give in exchange.

\'My clothes? Would that work? No, probably not, then what do I have of value?\' he thought, thinking of all the equipment that he had gotten over the trials.

And then he remembered the first item that he had gotten from the system, his boots, well they looked more like shoes but the system had called them boots, so they were boots.

Then, Aiden removed his hands from his pockets as he started bending down reaching for his boots, removing them.

After doing so, Aiden simply handed them to the guard with a serious look on his face.

"Here, there you go this should be enough," Aiden said, having no idea if it would actually be enough.

After all, if the guard refused his arrival then that would be quite annoying since Aiden would basically have to infiltrate the city and by doing so, he might be labeled as a criminal.

"And what am I supposed to do with those boots?" The guard asked, clearly confused about the item that he had just received as payment.

It wasn\'t the first time that he had received items in exchange, however, they were always weapons, not boots...

What was he going to do with boots like those, they didn\'t even seem in good condition.

"They can make you go faster," Aiden replied, seeing that the guard didn\'t seem quite interested in the boots.

"And how can you prove that?" The guard replied as he knew that Aiden probably wouldn\'t be able to give him an answer that way.

\'By looking at the information panel given by the system, obviously,\' Aiden said to himself in his mind.

"Well, don\'t you have something around here to verify if I\'m telling the truth or not," Aiden asked as he knew that he wasn\'t going to talk about the system to the people around him.

He remembered the last trial after all.
