I am a mage, with an infinite mana bar!

Luo'an City is divided into two districts, east and west.

Ordinary civilians who wanted to enter the city had to enter the lower city through the northwest gate, which was usually not guarded, then pass through the entire lower city and enter the upper city through the guarded streets.

That was the area where nobles, scholars, those who served the former, or those who had received special permission lived.

Fortunately, thanks to the "Special Power," lords have the right to levy various taxes on their lands, and Lawrence Frey is a benevolent ruler. Under his rule, the lower city of Roan is thriving.

It was past noon, and the carriage slowly moved forward along the main road paved with bluestone, which was warmed by the sun.

Lynn had been reading the whole way, but after entering Luoan City, he put down his book and looked out through the small window.

He saw crowds of pedestrians lining both sides of the wide street, a sight he had never seen before in Colin.

Vendors hawk seasonal fruits and vegetables and household utensils, while the enticing aroma of grilled meat and spices wafts from restaurants.

Even though it was still far from night, the tavern was already packed with people.

He heard children's noisy laughter, and a hunter was selling his newly acquired fox and grouse to a merchant. The haggling between the two drew the ire of passersby.

The middle-aged man in the brocade robe hurried through the crowd, but Lynn, with his sharp ears, still caught him whispering a mocking laugh to his servant behind him:

"They're arguing over such a small amount of money? Don't they know what dignity is?"

Lynn frowned and asked the coachman in front, "Mr. Thomas, are nobles frequently seen visiting the lower districts of Roan?"

The coachman, carefully maneuvering the horses to slow them down and ensure a safe passage through the chaotic main road, smiled upon hearing this.

"Sir, even among the nobility, there are different classes. Houses in the upper town are so expensive; not everyone can afford them!"

Lynn suddenly remembered that the orc warrior Gray seemed to have mentioned buying a house in Roan City. Could it be the Upper City?

As far as Lynn knew, there weren't many nobles in Roan, but the Upper City covered a large area, at least two-thirds the size of the Lower City.

Two-thirds of the area is inhabited by less than one-tenth of the population, no wonder even the main roads are so congested...

The driver added, "However, those gentlemen and ladies who truly live in the upper part of the city are not people like us who can meet them casually; they have a 'private passage'."

Lynn recalled that when the carriage entered Luoan City, it was very congested during the peak trade season when the lower city only had one gate for entry and exit.

"Sir, why are you dressed so formally? What brings you to the Upper Town?"

As an experienced coachman, he noticed that although Lynn was wearing an expensive dark blue suit, it was clearly ill-fitting.

It looks like it was borrowed temporarily.

Therefore, he speculated that Lynn was probably visiting a nobleman or scholar in the upper town to seek a way out for his future development.

This is a very common phenomenon among young people. After all, rather than honestly learning a trade, they yearn to become important figures, and they don't mind starting as servants or menial laborers around important figures.

Lynn smiled faintly and said politely, "I came here at the invitation of a friend."

Friend? Where Lynn couldn't see, the coachman's expression turned somewhat strange.

For those living in the Shangcheng District, prices are even higher than housing prices, making them unattainable!

"Hehe, is that so..."

The coachman just thought Lynn was a clueless young man who talked nonsense, so he didn't press the matter further.

Lynn enjoyed the scenery of downtown Luoan City all the way until the carriage suddenly turned, leaving the crowd behind and the air suddenly becoming deserted.

It was as if they had suddenly left town and passed through a stretch of smooth, clean streets without any houses before the driver reminded them:

"We're almost there, sir."

Lynn leaned out of the car window and looked ahead. He saw a gray-white city wall that was much cleaner and more pleasing to the eye than the city wall in the lower city. He looked up slightly and was surprised to see that there were still guards patrolling on the battlements of the city wall.

No wonder housing prices are so high in the upper districts, yet security measures are so different.

However, the country of Assassin has always been peaceful and has not been at war for a century. As for the western border of the Sahara County, it is protected by a series of mountains, so there is no need to worry about invasions from other humanoid races.

The carriage slowly came to a stop at the city gate. Even if you didn't enter the city, you still had to be questioned and inspected by the guards.

Lynn stepped down from the carriage, hesitating whether to take out his novice mage badge, the two-star adventurer badge he had just received, or the Golden Scales badge from the Golden Tower...

"Lynn!"

He looked up and saw a figure in a light green gauze dress running towards him, lifting the hem of her dress.

That long, brownish-brown hair was unusually loose, not all braided, but cascading down, flying like a waterfall as she ran.

"Eli?" Lynn blinked, looking directly into Eli's emerald green eyes.

Behind her, a maid who had hurriedly followed quickly bent down to straighten her disheveled skirt.

"You've finally arrived! I thought I'd have to wait until evening!" Eli said with a slight puff of his cheeks but a broad smile.

Because of the heat, tiny beads of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead.

Lynn looked over her shoulder and saw a simple shed at the city gate with a cup of tea on the table. She realized that Eli was waiting for her there.

"You don't need to wait for me, I remember the address very well."

Upon hearing this, Eli was immediately displeased. She first stared wide-eyed in surprise, then snorted and turned to leave.

Lynn gave a wry smile. He had originally planned to say something polite like, "Thank you for your welcome, Miss Eli. You look exceptionally beautiful today."

Unfortunately, the effects of the potion of fate were still present.

But Eli quickly turned back after only a couple of steps, scrutinizing Lynn from head to toe with a stern face.

Her delicate brows furrowed. "This outfit doesn't fit at all! Didn't I remind you to try it on and then have it altered at a tailor's?"

As she spoke, a barely perceptible hint of guilt appeared on her pretty face.

Lynn smiled, a little embarrassed, and said, "I've been so busy lately, I forgot."

He added, "I've also been promoted to a novice mage and joined the Golden Tower."

The half-elf girl's displeasure vanished instantly, replaced by genuine surprise.

"That's great, Lynn. But why did you choose to join the Golden Tower? I thought you would definitely join the White Tower Society with Teacher Barton..."

She spoke rapidly, pulling on Lynn's sleeve as she spoke, completely ignoring the dissuasion in her personal maid's eyes, and leading Lynn through the city gate without any aristocratic reserve.

The guards at the gate naturally recognized the city lord's daughter and dared not obstruct her in the slightest.

Suppressing their surprise, they discreetly observed the young man Eli Frey had taken away, speculating about his identity.

At the city gate, the coachman was already dumbfounded.

He never expected that what the young man in the shabby suit said was actually true!

He actually knew a noble lady from the upper district, and that lady was so beautiful that she was probably the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his life!
