The Realm Tower was designed similar to a library, racks filled the first floor, and the racks filled with scrolls and books. To her right was a counter made of polished wood and three women stood behind the counter.
"Welcome to Realm Tower~ How we may help you?" The three girls greeted Selena at the same time while a girl asked her.
Selena calculated the money in her storage bag. There were over four thousand gold coins, she could buy a few tier-7 skills and a tier-8 skill.
The Realm Tower divided the skill into twelve tiers. Tier-1 the lowest tier and Tier-12 the highest tier. Twelve floors meant twelve tiers and the first floor meant all skills in the first floor were tier-1 skills.
'Get four to five skills, at least two offensive skills, and two defensive skills,' that was the order from Tang Shaoyang for her, 'Then tier-7 skill will do.'
"I am looking for tier-7 skills," Selena smiled back at the attendant.
The female attendant maintained her polite smile and walked out of the counter. She came to Selena and extended her hand toward the stairs, "Please follow me. Tier-7 skills are on the seventh floor."
Selena nodded and followed the female attendant. The female attendant took out a card and scanned it to a magical circle next door. The door opened on its own.
When they reached the seventh floor, the female attendant opened the door for her but she did not enter the door, "There will be an attendant serving you inside."
Selena nodded and entered the door, sure enough, another female attendant greeted her as he entered the seventh floor.
"Welcome to the seventh floor of the Realm Tower~"
"May I see the skill catalog, please?" Selena asked for the catalog. She was trying to remember Tang Shaoyang's fighting style while trying to figure out what kind of skill suited Tang Shaoyang.
It took her almost two hours to buy two tier-7 defensive skills and two tier-7 offensive skills.
"I hope he likes the skill," Selena muttered in a low voice as she came out of the tower. Now the shopping was done, it was time for the next task. Looking for information about Murie and Deril.
Both made quite a name in their rank, it should be easy for her to search for information about them. The last thing he heard was that they were admitted to the church for intensive care after being rained down by the [Lightning Bolt].
Selena made her way outside the core region. Coming out of the outer region was easier than coming, the guards did not stop her when she walked out of the gate.
She headed toward Waskin Adventurer Guild as she wore her dark hoodie. She looked downcast and gloomy. The fact that four Emerald Rank Parties were wiped out by Tang Shaoyang had spread to the people in the city.
People just could not believe that one man crushed over a hundred men. The event incited the rage of the adventurers, but that's just all talk. After the incident, no one dared to take the quest again.
Selena swiftly headed to the guild amongst the crowd. As soon as she entered the guild, everyone's attention was on her with her conspicuous attire. The adventurers cast sympathizing gazes at her since all her party members were killed.
She ignored the gazes, making his way toward the Guide Counter. She stopped in front of her party's guide. Her party was registered under her name, Pauline.
Pauline recognized Selena in one glance, "What are you doing here, Selena? Why don't you get some break?" She was concerned about Selena who was being left behind by her party.
"Three days are enough," Selena's answer was curt and cold, "I need information from you!"
Pauline let out a sigh as she put aside the quest paper in her hand. She put the quest papers into the drawer and came out of the counter, "What about a drink? My treat."
Selena shook her head, "No, I don't want to. I want information from you." The female guide let out a sigh, "Have you eaten yet? What about breakfast? Drinking this early is indeed a bad idea."
Pauline knew that Selena would reject her invitation for a breakfast, but she cut in first, "We can talk while we have breakfast," she was basically telling Selena to have breakfast with her for the information.
"Alright, but what about your work?" Selena nodded her head as Pauline smiled, "Good, it's my treat," the female guide pulled her friend outside the guild to have breakfast.
"The Beast Stampede is near, Guild Master requested to put a hold for the quest that is far from the city, so I have less work to do," Pauline smiled as she kept dragging Selena to her regular place.
The cleric just followed the female guide. She had her breakfast but she did not refuse the invitation. Even though her stomach was bloated, she did not mind as long as she could get the information.
The place was not far from the guild, and it was not that crowded because the restaurant looked fancy. Not that she could not afford to eat in this place, but this was not the usual place where her party gathered.
Pauline brought her to the second floor next to the window. When they sat on the chair, she waved her hand to the waitress, "Can I get my usual order?"
The waitress recognized Pauline, she nodded and turned toward Selena, "What do you want? Their sandwiches and coffee are quite good, I recommend that for you."
"Then get those for me," Selena nodded, her purpose was not to get the food but the information from Pauline. She did not care about the food.
The waitress wrote her order and left them. Pauline's gaze never left Selena. The cheerful girl now turned gloomy, her beauty shaded by her dark expression.
"So, what do you want to know? I will help you with my best capability," Pauline said with a serious tone.
"I want to know about Murie and Deril, can you give me their information?" Selena was direct with her question.
Pauline furrowed her brows when the two names were mentioned, "Why do you want to know about them?"
Before Selena could give her reply, Pauline continued, "Do you still think to avenge your party member?" The formed nodded her head solemnly.
"Hah…" Pauline massaged the space between her eyes, "I don't think you should do that, he's not something you can face," she tried to dissuade Selena to do a silly thing such as revenge.
"Of course, for now, I can't do anything to him. But I will avenge my friends in the future for sure!" Her cold voice told Pauline she was determined to take revenge, "But for now, I want to gather information about that monster as much as possible!"
Pauline stared back at Selena's eyes for a while before letting out another sigh, "You can't meet them any longer. The City Lord takes them…" she scanned the surroundings, making sure no one could hear their conversation.
"This is a secret between us, promise?" Pauline's tone became heavy all of sudden. Selena nodded her head, it seemed she would get important information from the female guide.
"Deril and Murie are killed by the City Lord. They needed a justification to capture Tang Shaoyang, so they killed Deril and Murie," it was shocking information indeed. Selena was not expecting to hear the City Lord's shady side.
