Magnus and Anna right now standing in front of the large city gate of the city of Terra. The city is in the middle of flat land that is surrounded by large mountains on three sides. A big river is flowing between the city and the main land resulting in a large bridge that connects the city with the land. At the end of the giant bridge is a large gate with dragon symbols curved on the pillars creating an intimidating yet cool appearance.
From the bridge people can see the beauty of this city as the large buildings which are standing tall could be visible from here. People of different ethnicity are constantly coming and going through the bridge making this place one of the most crowded places Magnus has ever seen after his wake up.
The reason Magnus didn't see lots of people in his journey is because Alps mountain range is not a place for people to live. Kazam city is located at the western edge of the North. Alps mountain range has divided the north with a diagonal way which created two parts of the north. One with the city of Terra and the other one with the city of Susumu. So most people of the north is living either close to Susumu which is located north from the Kazam.
On the other hand people don't live close to Alps mountain range because of the fear of beasts and many other problems.
Because of Alps people of the north call Susumu is higher north and Terra as lower north. Susumu is also a large city like Terra but it has a large connection with other small city throughout the higher north. So that place is a little bigger than Terra.
After the incident on Kazam almost a month has passed by. In that time Magnus travelled through the Alps mountain range and directly entered the land of Terra. The distance between Kazam and Terra is almost 20 thousand miles but because Magnus had to took a lot of detour to avoid death the distance increased to 30 thousands. Even though he fought a lot of creatures in the Alps he still never even tried some of those hermit type high grade beasts who already have intelligence.
Although this much distance may look too much for a single human but cultivators are really strong and they can run a long distance without stopping. But in order to speed up Magnus also learned a support type technique from the Magnum Opus two, Long Walk. It's a technique that will increase your movement speed. Right now Magnus only managed to increase his speed by 100% but at its peak this is a terrifying technique that can increase his speed up to 1000%.
Anna on the other hand is a cultivator from Red Dragon, so she already knows some pretty powerful movement techniques. As a result they quickly travelled to the Terra after they left the village. From there they passed two cities but both of them decided not to stay long in this city. This city is kinda like a town but recently they built a wall around them making it look like they are preparing something or they became rich enough to build the wall.
They also show very weird expressions when Magnus and Anna enter the city, some have good expressions, while some have hostile expression. Also all that time Magnus and Anna travelled they have yet to see any disciples of other sects, or any high profile people's. As a result they had a smooth ride all this time.
Finally they reached the city of Terra in the afternoon. Soon they saw the outline of the beautiful city. The paths that lead to the city are all paved making it easier to walk. Many people are coming and going making it a bustling city. Magnus looked at his front. There's a big line of people who all want to go inside the city. As Anna and Magnus are waiting in line, a big shiny carriage stopped in front of the city. The carriage is pulled by Lightning horses, a beast who can run 100 times faster than regular horses.

Behind the carriage there are five more carriages. Each carriage is carrying a large amount of beast corpses. There are also about five people guarding the carriages. As the carriages are stopped in front of the gate a young man comes out of the front carriage. The young man is wearing a black robe with a sword hanging on his back. The man who is at the gate quickly runs towards him as if he recognised him and quickly kneeled before the man. The young man looked at the man as if he was amazed and then looked at his surroundings. The people who are standing at the line are also confused because the majority don't recognize him. Soon another gate officer came and started hitting the people at the frontline saying, "Scoundrels. Do you not recognise the young master of the city of Terra? Kneel quickly before you are executed."
Immediately people in the line started to kneel. Even though they don't know much they know that the young man is powerful. Magnus has analysed everything from the beginning and he also decided to kneel as he knew his not in a position to fight back. Anna on the other hand tried to remain stand up but Magnus pinched her back as a result she was also forced to kneel reluctantly.
After that the young man looked at everyone and with a smug expression he said, "Ah don't kneel. Everyone can stand up now."
' Hypocrisy ' Magnus thought. Soon the young man looked at the people in the line as if he was searching for someone. But before long he became uninterested as if he didn't find what he was looking for.
The gate keeper was close by and quickly asked, " Young Master, is there someone you are looking for?"
The young man heard his voice and soon he pulled out a wanted poster. It's a very beautiful girl who has a bright shiny eye and the iris has a star pattern.
Magnus sneaked a pick on the poster and he was shocked to see the girl. ' It's Anna'
Even Anna is also surprised. Although the young man has no way to know that the girl he's looking for is here. Because Anna even changed her eyes pattern into a normal eye so that it will attract less attention. But it's surprising that someone put a bounty on the girls head that means Magnus's intuition is on the right.
When Anna said her ship was attacked by a pirate and the ports of the north land didn't help her it's a possibility that they all are connected and the culprit is even possible to be only one person who wanted to kill Anna. Anna is the princess of Red Dragon Empire, there are lots of people who want to kill her.
Anyway the young man then looked around the line a bit more before stopping on Anna for a bit. He laid his eyes on her and immediately felt disgust towards her. He asked the guard,
"Hey why are you letting this type of seak people in my city. Get them out of here now. " the young man shouted.
The guard soon came to Anna and held her arms. He then started to drag her out of the line. But before he could do that Magnus quickly came forward and kneeled in front of the young man asking, " Young Master. My sister here is very sick and we came here for a cure. Please be kind to us and let us pass. We will leave immediately after we found a cure."
" What? That girl is sick. How dare you bring someone here. Guard kill her immediately. "
The guard then unsheathed his sword and started to move towards Anna. Watching that Anna is about to be killed Magnus has no choice but to fight. He quickly made a plan in his mind as he decided to save Anna and jumped at the river below. That way they can swim away and the guards can't arrest him.
Just as he is about to circulate the Qi in his leg to jump towards Anna a female voice sounded from inside the first carriage.
"If he's saying that he came here for cure, why are you stopping them. Is your city is that poor that it can't even have a place for sick people. That's cheap compared to what you said to me earlier."
The voice is sharp as knife and quickly made the young man discomfort. He then replied, "Don't worry senior sister Qing. It's a simple misunderstanding. The guard told me that this girl has contagious illness so I assume it's something like black death or something. It's my bad. Hey what are you doing. Realise them already. "
Soon the guards release Anna. The young man then quickly entered the carriage and passed through the gate.
----------
A few minutes later when both of them entered the city Anna asked, "Why didn't you let me take action?"
"Because we are in a pinch. All the man in there has cultivation level 20." Magnus replied while walking in front.
"That doesn't justify the humiliation we faced today. I know that you don't want trouble to come your way. But facing humiliation is a different thing. Every people has a pride. Even if you have one. Why did you let that thing happen?" Proud Anna said with a very sad and angry tone. Magnus could feel every single bit of emotions from her voice. He then stopped his steps and with a straight voice he replied,
"Pride is a thing that comes with strength. Right now I am a man with level 12 cultvation rank. If I show my arrogance I am the idiot here. But you have a point. People can't be humiliated and especially since you questioned my integrity as a man, I am gonna prove to you that humiliating me is hundred time better than questioning my pride."
"What are you gonna do?"
"Simple, I am gonna kill this city's young master."
