TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

Chapter 247: Asking for a place to mine

During the walk to the city hall, Liu Yang met a few more newbies he met during the trip to the mine. But many of them became slaves, mostly men, and prostitutes, in the case of women.

These people were deceived by the veterans after they arrived in the city. Only those who submitted themselves to the veterans and the nobles managed to have a little more benefit, even if they are treated like garbage.

At least, they still maintained some freedom and were able to work as miners or bodyguards.

All kinds of emotions were felt by them. Mainly the negatives, because the trio was not deceived by the veterans and can remain free.

The city hall building was a large three-story building, with many people entering and leaving the building every moment. Its job was only to account for and manage the people who go to the mines to mine the crystals.

Inside the city hall, there were a large number of people delivering bags with mined crystals or creatures. They are exchanging for rewards that the city offers for those who bring the crystals back.

The greater the amount of crystal, the greater the reward.

The arrival of Liu Yang and the two women attracted some malicious looks. Those looks were looking at Liu Yang, not the two women.

The people in the city hall know about the events on the way to the city. Some of the nobles, who came along with Liu Yang, told about it to the other nobles in the city.

Thus, everyone who influences the city knows about Liu Yang and some of his abilities.

Next to the entrance, there was a service desk with an elderly man sitting in the chair. This counter was for asking for information.

The old man had his eyes closed and appeared to be sleeping, his casual clothes make him look like an old man instead of a city employee.

"Hi. I would like to know where I ask for permission to mine the crystals in the mine" Liu Yang asked the old man respectfully.

To mine at the mine, people need to ask permission from the city. The mining sites are divided into several different locations.

It is not necessary to think much that the best places to mine are from noble families.

The old man did not seem to move after hearing Liu Yang's question. It looks like he didn't even hear.

"He is sleeping?" Liu Yang asked.

"I don't know" Both women responded at the same time.

To the trio's surprise, the old man just pointed in a certain direction. The three looked and saw that one of the service desks was empty and had no queue.

"This is a little strange. Why is there no one in that queue?" Liu Yang commented.

"I do not know either. This old man must be wanting us to go to that service desk, but no one is going there" Aruna commented right away.

None of the three knows why the old man is indicating that they go to that location.

"Sir, is that service desk for people who want to ask permission to mine?" Liu Yang asked the old man again. He doesn't know what's going on.

In the same way as before, the old man pointed again to the place where there was no person in line, behind that front desk there was only one attendant dressed in maid's clothes.

"Excuse me. Are you having a problem?" A maid appeared and asked Liu Yang. She thought it was strange that the three continued talking to the old man after some time.

"Hi. I am looking for the service desk to ask for permission to mine crystals" Liu Yang talked about his goal.

"I see ... The line to ask for a mining site is the one there" The maid pointed to a line that had some people.

"That line? This old man had pointed to that empty spot when I asked him" Liu Yang pointed.

"Ohh ... Did this man point to that place?" The maid was surprised to hear Liu Yang's words but soon showed a casual face again.

"Yes." Liu Yang doesn't know what was going on, nor do the two women.

"As this old man pointed to that empty queue. You can go there without any problem" The maid spoke. She seemed to know what was going on, but she didn't explain.

"I thank you for that" Liu Yang and the two women were not understanding anything about what was going on. They just headed towards the skip-the-line service desk.

The other people at the scene were surprised to see that someone appeared in that queue. They started to comment on who those three were.

"It looks like someone interesting has appeared again" One of them commented when he saw Liu Yang walking towards the skip-the-line service desk.

"Is he a nobleman?"

"That's hard to say, his behavior and aura are very casual, but the two women behind him are noble for their attitudes and aura."

"It is strange for a normal person to go to that queue. Only known and prominent people can go to that location. Besides, I've never seen those three before, are they the new rookies who arrived a few days ago?"

"It seems that this is the case Ohh !! I finally remembered it!!! Do you remember what some young nobles said before? That they were brought in by a masked young man? I think it's that young man over there"

"I also heard these rumors, but I thought they were false. So it's really true that someone brought a group of nobles to the city. This is unexpected. It seems that he stayed in a hotel with the two women all this time because there was no news about them all this time"

"It is normal for this to happen. Having two beautiful women in a hotel room after a long and tiring run. I wouldn't be leaving anytime soon either"

Many types of conversations and comments about Liu Yang and the two women emerged when they were recognized.

The talks focused on Liu Yang, but later on, they went to women. The two were a little embarrassed when conversations about them being pushed for three days in a row.

The queue the old man indicated was for impressive people who stood out. But the city only knows this because they were notified by the nobles. Without that happening, no one would know that someone was strong.

So, after the rumors are confirmed. They will make some preparations to attract these people to try to make small aid arrangements.

"Hi. My name is Fione, how can I help you?" The attendant behind the counter introduced herself. She wore a normal maid's dress.

Unlike the erotic maids in the stores, the maids who work in the city hall were more normal.

Unlike stores, city employees were treated as workers and not as products.

"I would like a place to mine." Liu Yang asked.

"Ohh ... A place to mine?" Fione was surprised and shocked to hear Liu Yang's request. Because it is very, very rare for someone to go to this service desk and ask for something like that.

In her entire life as an attendant, she has only seen one time or another ask for the same thing as Liu Yang.
