Chapter 218: Entering the Black City, the Foreign Race Store

"Damn it, it must be the noise we made earlier that brought all the nearby demons here."

"Come on, follow me. I know a place not far from here. Those demons won’t dare go there." Fiona turned around and ran quickly into the distance, then shouted loudly.

Aiden looked at the enemies in the sky and felt a little reluctant. If there were fewer enemies, he could try to kill them all.

But as soon as the thought came to him, he saw that the number of demons had actually increased.

"It would be too stupid to stay any longer. I still have to go to the front lines in two days to fight those demon talents. If I get hurt now, it would mess up my plan."

Aiden didn’t hesitate. He quickly followed Fiona on the ground and left the area.

A while later, a large number of powerful demons gathered around the body of the ram-headed demon.

"Damn it! Lord Henry was killed! His sister is one of Duke Ethan’s favorite female demons!"

"It must be that Red Dwarf!"

"What do we do? We arrived too late. If we don’t catch the killer, Duke Ethan will tear us apart!"

"Stop talking. I can smell the smell of a human. This must be a human’s doing."

After a lot of noise, the demons followed a tracking demon and flew quickly in the direction where Aiden and Fiona had gone.

At that moment, Aiden was flying quickly in the air, following Fiona on the ground.

That Red Dwarf girl ran really fast, almost as fast as his flying speed.

If she met a big rock in the way, she would just run into it without hesitation.

Her body was very hard, and she was fast.

After an hour, Fiona suddenly stopped and looked up at Aiden in the sky. She asked: "Can you keep going? Should we take a break?"

Aiden shook his head. He was flying with his Iron Dragon Wings, which didn’t take much magic power. His current state was great, and he didn’t need a break at all.

Fiona felt a little embarrassed and scratched her head. "Um... I’m not feeling so good. I got hurt during the fight with that ram-headed demon."

"If I wasn’t injured, I could keep going for a long time."

To avoid the many demons chasing them from behind, Aiden quickly lowered his height and said to Fiona:

"Here’s the plan. Grab my legs, and I’ll carry you. You can rest a bit and recover some energy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fiona jumped up and grabbed Aiden’s legs.

Aiden’s face changed immediately. His Iron Dragon Wings flapped quickly behind him.

"Wow, she’s so heavy. She must weigh at least a ton," Aiden thought to himself.

Fiona looked down at the ground and said in a low voice, "Um... we Red Dwarves are not only tall and strong, but we’re also usually pretty heavy. Are you okay?"

Aiden took a deep breath and controlled his Iron Dragon Wings, continuing to fly forward.

After killing the ram-headed demon, Aiden had completed all his goals for entering the Abyss.

He had gained a lot of experience, upgraded his equipment, and got a new Skill Book.

At this point, he could have left the Abyss completely.

But Aiden wanted to learn more about the Red Dwarves through Fiona.

They kept flying for over an hour. Then, Aiden saw the distant skyline suddenly show a huge black city.

Fiona immediately felt relieved and said quickly, "We made it. That’s the Black City. No one from the Abyss can fight inside it. Once we get in, we’ll be safe."

The Black City?

Hearing Fiona’s words, Aiden’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The Abyss was always dangerous and chaotic, but the city ahead was completely different.

Aiden suddenly became curious.

If what Fiona said was true, then there might be a lot of different race Abyss creatures in the Black City.

But Aiden didn’t relax too much. He asked, "I’m a human. Can I enter the Black City?"

Fiona nodded and quickly answered, "Sure you can. There are often human Reclassers in the Black City, but most of them are criminals who are wanted in human lands. If you’re worried, I have a tool here that can help you disguise yourself."

Fiona dropped down and landed heavily on the ground. She pulled out a black mask and threw it to Aiden.

Aiden caught the mask and looked it over carefully.

[Half-Orc Disguise Mask: Epic Rank, a special equipment made by a Red Dwarf master blacksmith. When the user puts it on, it hides their aura and makes them look like a Half-Orc. Their body features and smell are completely the same as a real Half-Orc. The mask also slightly lowers the user’s presence, but it can be seen through by Abyss creatures above level 89.]

Great stuff!

Aiden’s eyes lit up. He had been looking for a good disguise tool for a long time but had never found one.

"Of course, I’m just lending it to you for now, as part of your payment for helping me earlier. You have to give it back later," Fiona said quickly.

Her eyes kept looking at Aiden’s gear, and she kept swallowing.

Aiden nodded and decided to try the mask. If it was really good, he could spend some high-tier materials and see if he could buy it from Fiona.

As soon as the Half-Orc Disguise Mask touched Aiden’s face, it became soft, like liquid.

A faint black light appeared. Aiden felt some strange changes in his body.

Some fur grew on his face, and his ears stood up, like a wolf’s.

A wolf man?

Aiden turned around immediately. Sure enough, he now had a big, fluffy tail hanging behind him.

After a little time to get used to his new look, Aiden followed Fiona toward the Black City.

The first thing that came into Aiden’s view was a giant gate that was more than fifty meters tall, like the open mouth of a giant monster, as if it wanted to swallow everything.

Besides the gate, there were no guards. Only a few Abyss demons and Miko were coming and going.

Before reaching the gate, Fiona pulled out two Diamond Rank materials, explaining that it cost money to truly enter the Black City.

It wasn’t just for entering. Even when they left the city later, they still had to pay.

Soon, under Fiona’s guidance, Aiden arrived near the gate.

Only then did he see a few soldiers wearing heavy armor, whose race was hard to tell, collecting entry fees.

"One Diamond Rank material gets you in. Fighting is strictly forbidden inside the Black City. You’d better behave. If you break the rules, you’ll get a big fine, or even be caught and beheaded in front of everyone."

"Even a Demon Duke has to follow the rules of the Black City!" one soldier shouted loudly.

Fiona quickly threw the two Diamond Rank materials into a basket behind the soldier and led Aiden into the city.

Suddenly, loud noises filled Aiden’s ears. He looked around in surprise, staring at the busy street ahead. He almost thought he had made a mistake and ended up in a human city instead.

Demons, Miko, Skeletons, Half-Orcs... all kinds of Abyss creatures from different races were walking back and forth.

On both sides of the street were all kinds of strange shops.

"Come and see! Demon Material Store—buying all kinds of demon materials at high prices!"

"Pigman Cooking—delicious pigman food, made from the fattest pigmen. One bite and you’ll get all the fat. It’s not only tasty, but it also recovers your health!"

"Miko Fortune Teller Shop—half price today only!"

"Low price demon slave sales! No matter what kind of man or woman you like, you can find it here!"

"Exotic Race Style Shop—officially opened today! We have all kinds of services inside. You’ll be satisfied. Demons, Miko, Half-Dragons, humans... all are waiting for your conquest!"

All kinds of vendors were shouting and filling every corner of the street.

Aiden watched all this with curiosity. He really thought this city was completely out of place in the Abyss.

A cow girl, over two meters tall with huge breasts that almost reached her waist, kept shaking her chest to attract customers.

Among the crowd, a strange Abyss creature, whose race Aiden couldn’t tell, looked at the exaggerated breasts and frowned.

"Too big. It’s so ugly," he said.

The cow girl’s face froze, but when she saw Aiden, her eyes lit up and she called out:

"Wolf man big brother, come relax a bit!"

"Today is our official opening. If you can last three hours straight, you don’t have to pay anything. Don’t miss this chance, it won’t come again!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Fiona became impatient and waved her hand.

"Never mind. Let’s go."

She grabbed Aiden’s sleeve and quickly walked past the exotic shop.

"Come on, I have a friend in the Black City. We can go rest at his place first," Fiona said, turning back.

Aiden felt a little regretful. He actually wanted to check out that exotic shop.

After walking a bit with Fiona, Aiden ended up in a small alley full of trash.

"Here it is," Fiona pointed to a sign ahead.

[Flame Forge]

Aiden was curious and walked over. Before he could even look around the shop, he heard a loud shout.

"Get out! We don’t welcome humans. Get out now."
