The legendary warrior novel Chapter 119

After they entered the territory of the Earth Fire Land, the Snow Vulture flew for two whole days before they finally alighted at the center of the land, which was where the Casting City was to be found.

Before they entered the city, they got off the Snow Vulture, Elder Samuel included. In accordance with the city's law, all warriors had to walk into the city. Riding a Snow Vulture was definitely not allowed.

However, this rule did not apply to an innate spirit and a casting master of Spirit Level.

This was the privilege of being a powerful warrior. Its fairness was contestable, but it was the law.

Up until Ricky's arrival in the Casting City, he had not understood Elder Samuel when he had said that he only had limited privileges. After a few minutes of his walking down the road, he had already encountered over ten demi-immortals. From their casting identity cards, Ricky learned that they were all casting masters of Demi-spirit Level. Among the likes of them, Elder Samuel was considered just an ordinary strong casting master.

'The Casting City! What an amazing place! There are so many talent warriors here. And goodness, there are casting masters of Demi-spirit Level everywhere!' Ricky secretly thought to himself, rather surprised. He had grown more interested in the Casting Guild now.

Among the crowd full of demi-immortals, they looked rather common even with Elder Samuel, who in the Snow Sect looked much more intimidating as a demi-immortal and a casting master of Demi-spirit Level. Ricky was a totally ordinary warrior compared to them. Bertha, as a beauty, was the only one who attracted some gazes as they went on their way.

Ricky looked around carefully as Elder Samuel led their way.

The first impression Ricky had about the Casting City was its immense size. He made a rough comparison and estimated that it was more than ten times the land area of the Snow Sect!

Finally, they arrived at the gatekeeper's post, where they were to pay the entrance fee. Ordinary warriors were expected to pay one hundred silver coins in order to enter. This took Ricky by surprise.

'Damn, it's so expensive!' Ricky silently cursed, worried about his finances.

According to the law, a casting master of Demi-spirit Level only needed to pay ten silver coins. Therefore, Elder Samuel could enter at a much lower price. As for Bertha, she only had to pay forty silver coins to be admitted because she owned a casting identity card. Ricky was the only one who had neither a higher position nor a card. One hundred silver coins were paid to grant him the right to enter.

For the first time, Ricky saw firsthand what a casting identity card could bring about in terms of privileges and benefits.

Once they had entered the city, Ricky saw nothing but streets crowded with a lively throng and crammed with various things.

It was a big city with a vast network of streets. Vendors were shouting out loud to sell their goods. Various pieces could be found here, such as the Treasures from Heaven and Earth, or casting materials. Everything was bustling on the street.

Ricky had never seen such things before. He grew so excited that he wanted to buy everything that caught his eye. But he was stopped by Elder Samuel before he could pay for them. According to Elder Samuel, most of these pieces were not truly useful. They were the tricks the vendors used to prey on gullible warriors who had come to the city for the first time.

'Oh, thank God I have Elder Samuel beside. Otherwise, I would've wasted my money on those useless things, ' Ricky sighed to himself, feeling lucky to have an experienced elder accompanying him.

And so, Elder Samuel brought Ricky and Bertha to a large courtyard. Finally, they had arrived. It was the place of the Casting Guild.

They were allowed into the courtyard after Samuel showed his identification card as a casting master of Demi-spirit Level to the guard. Three young men led them to their respective rooms. Ricky looked around, pleased at the comfortable environment of his room.

Obviously, this was also one of the privileges Elder Samuel enjoyed as a casting master of Demi-spirit Level. Because of him, Ricky had the chance to experience it even though he had no identity as a casting master yet.

Along the way, he saw many casting masters of Demi-spirit Level just like Elder Samuel. For the most part, one or two disciples were following them. It was plain to see that they too had come here to take the Casting Appraisal.

"The Casting Appraisal will be held in four days. Before it starts, you two can walk around the city and experience it for yourselves," Elder Samuel suggested. "But Ricky, please stay with Bertha, will you?

You are not familiar with this place. Bertha has already been here several times. She knows the culture and ways better than you do. What's more, she has the casting identity card. She can take you to some special places with that card."

"Yes, Elder Samuel. I will. Thank you again for this opportunity!" Ricky said with a deep nod.

After the long journey they had gone through, they cleaned up a bit and got changed. Then Ricky went to Bertha's room and suggested going out. He was eager to see what the city's inner workings were like. Bertha was eager as well. Although she had been here many times before, she always found something new and interesting in this place. She was glad that Ricky was keen to explore, too.

They walked out of the Casting Guild after telling Elder Samuel that they were headed out.

However, the moment they stepped out of the courtyard, someone approached.
