This city was amazing, the name fits a lot with what I’m seeing, as you can’t see the sky from here, the ceiling of this big cave has shiny crystals that resemble stars, I imagine that for the inhabitants of this city it looks like it’s a night eternal since daylight never appears here.
I was heading down to the city along with the others in a stream of people.
“You were right Lilian, this city is amazing, everything is so shiny.” (I)
“Those crystals on top look like stars, I can’t get enough of looking up.” (Vanessa)
“I can feel a lot of magic at the top, there must be a lot of protective magic hidden there.” (Hela)
“I also noticed, I think they’re hidden in those crystals at the top, they must be barrier-type spells, but I can’t be sure without taking a closer look.” (Irina)
“Stop looking for details about the city’s defense, Father wants everyone to have fun in the city, so let’s look for a place where we can get some good food.” (Irius)
“Did someone say good food? Where’s the good food?” (Ibuki)
“I haven’t eaten anything for an hour, I’m really hungry.” (Ibuki)
“Forget the food, where is the bar? To have so many Dwarves means there must be good alcohol around here.” (Diana)
“I wonder what the blacksmiths in this city are like? What kind of techniques do they use? What metals are there on this continent?” (Anton)
“We’re here to have fun, so I hope you’ll take me on a date or I’ll break one of your arms you metal freak.” (Tania)
“Come on my dear, no need to be so aggressive, you know I love you more than metals.” (Anton)
“That’s the least I hope…” (Tania)
“Do they make jewelry here?” (Samira)
“I don’t know, when I was on this continent in the past, I didn’t come to this city.” (Elsaris)
“Then we can pick it up while we walk around town.” (Samira)
“I can see another Undead on the street, bone looks interesting, what will the Undead of this continent be like…” (Ivan)
Everyone seemed so excited about this city, I’m glad I came here, I think I’ll go to the city ahead and have a look.
“Where do you think you’re going, master.” (érica)
“You owe each of us a date remember?” (Kira)
“(They’re lying, I never promised that, but I’m not stupid to say it out loud.)” (I)
“Sure, how about it being a date for each of you?” (I)
“We can walk around the city to meet today and from tomorrow we start the meetings.” (I)
Both were surprised that I followed the flow so well, they look at each other with happy smiles as they nod their heads.
“Looks like he won’t fall into such an obvious trap.” (érica)
“But this also looks like fun, we can use it today to find places to have fun on our dates.” (Kira)
I’m thinking of staying in this city for a couple of weeks, we have to enjoy our time here.
“I also want a father-daughter date, you spend your time coaching or problem solving and you never have time for me.” (Lilith)
“Lilith’s proposal is very good, I would like to spend more time with you too, Father.” (Vanessa)
“We can have a family day all of us.” (I)
“I want to go check out the city…” (Layla)
“You’ll be with me all the time, I’m afraid you’ll do something wrong like blow up half the city for fun if I take my eyes off you for a second.” (I)
“It’s because you say things like that that everyone thinks I’m someone dangerous, it looks like I’m some kind of natural disaster.” (Layla)
“It’s more like crazy, psycho, and out of control.” (I)
“You idiot master, how dare you describe someone as amazing as me like this…” (Layla)
“Just tell me you didn’t think to play with the lava and I’ll let you go alone.” (I)
“…” (Layla) .
“See, who with the slightest bit of sanity would play in lava?” (I)
“That doesn’t mean anything, I just wanted to take a closer look…” (Layla)
We were all talking as we got closer to the city, but once we got inside we stopped talking as we enjoyed the view of this city full of crystals that glow with neon lights.
“Don’t forget, tomorrow is the last day to register for the Great Hammer Tournament.”
“Come to the best hotel in Cidade Estrela, we only have two rooms available, hurry up.”
“Someone stole my food, who was the bastard…”
“The annual gun auction is about to start, come join in, it will be tonight.”
“Come and taste the best meat in the City of Stars.”
“Place your bets for the next champion of the greatest Black Continent tournament, don’t miss this great opportunity that only happens once a year.”
I was amazed by the noise in the city, I could faintly hear the noise of metal being banged everywhere, I could also unite many people advertising on the streets about their business.
“This city is very lively, I think I’ll enjoy staying here for a while.” (I)
“That’s why I ask you to stop stealing Ibuki food.” (I)
“I don’t know what you… are talking about…” (Ibuki)
“I’m talking about that meat stuffing your cheeks, I saw you taking that adventurer’s food.” (I)
“Bullshit, I was too quick to be seen.” (Ibuki)
“But I saw it and you just confirmed it.” (I)
“I was tricked…” (Ibuki)
“Leave that aside, what really interested me was this weapons auction, I imagine they must be the best weapons in town.” (I)
“Actually I’m more interested in the tournament, it would be nice to watch.” (Anton)
“I’ll look for more information on these two things, but for now let’s find a place to stay.” (I)
I went to a shopkeeper and asked about the blacksmith tournament, I also asked about the weapons auction and where the trade guide was located.
After that we went to Guida do Comércio where I rented a house for a while, staying in an inn or hotel would be inconvenient with our numbers, so I rented a house that belonged to a rich merchant.
This house was for sale, but I only wanted to rent it for two weeks as I have no intention of returning to this town anytime soon after I leave.
With that resolved, we went to the two-story, 7-bedroom house where we are going to stay, after that we went to the place where the Gun Auction will take place, I asked Anton to separate their best hearts that still don’t have an owner to sell in this Auction.
Anton agreed since that would be good for evaluating his own work against the blacksmiths in this town.
The Horses that brought us here had already been taken back to the place where they are living inside the Dungeon, they entered using the Fairies and Spirits gate in my Shadow, and the Fairies and Spirits came to get them for that.
