The tower.

As they where walking to the entrance of the tower, the guards in black armor with a Z on the front, opened the doors of the tower,

"Welcome to the tower" they both said, and when they where about to go inside of the tower, they saw a big corridor leading forward with a red carrpet on the floor. The walls where also surprisingly made of smooth wood, with torches on the wall for light.

Mark and Zei countinued to walk when they saw stairs leading uppwards, the stairs looked how a snake would look like when circling a tree with it's body.

Zei looked up and there was a floor a little above them so when they walked up the stairs, they found themselfs at floor one.

The sairs continued to go up but they stopped at floor one. On the door it said

"Potions." Mark then opened the door, and what they saw where people, but not just any people like outside.

The people here looked like they came from rich familys and powerful backrounds, you could see that they where well dresset, the women had dresses on them and the men had What looked like expensive robes with gold and silver linnings.

Some people even had Z on their cloths, Zei figured they where probably apart of the Z clan.

There where a decent amout of people here, Mark took Zei here too show him around like a father he also wannted time with his son other then just training. Their true destination was at the 4th floor.

Infront of them where many types of potions on the counters in the left and right side of the shop, Zei read some like, "small mana boost", "basic faster mana cultivation", "speed boost", "strengt boost", "basic mana condencing potion", Zei did not understand what they where, aside from strength, and speed boost. but he had a basic understanding after being here.

"So there are probably diffrent realms people enter to get stronger, and if thease potions help with that their prices would also make sense," the prices on thease potions where in the thousants of mana stones.

There where also more potions like "beuaty potion," "increase senses" "faster thinking" and so on.

And after checking out the first floor, they left and walked up the stairs to the second floor, and on the door it said "weapons".

They walked into the door and opened it.

What they saw where the same type of people as before "rich and powerful" people.

But here there where swords of all types and not just sword but all types of weapons like knives, Axes, hammer, and so on all over the place, on the walls and at the front near the register.

There where also more to the weapons, after getting closer Zei could see that there where information on the swords.

"Mana stone sword reinforced with condensed ore able to boost your damage all the time without needing to imbue mana, and in a critical situation able to imbue your mana on it boosting your power 2x then before but drains much mana"

It said in detail the ups and downs of the weapon, like it takes much energy from you if you're going to use it's special effect.

There where many weapons like tease and they all looked bretty well, Zei even held one and it had very good balance to it.

"Do you like that sword Zei" mark said smiling at him, Zei did not respond and just looked at the rest of the weapons. After they where done they left and went to the third floor. "Armor" it said at the door.

As they walked in Zei saw very beautiful looking armor all over the place there where you could ask for whatever color you wanted on them aswell. The armor looked very durable and had special fetures so it won't just look plain, on some armors there where spikes on the shoulders and some armor also had claws that looked like small blades. After Zei got closer he also saw information on the armors.

"Able to resist attacks up to the 1st mana condencing realm, made with mana stones able to boost your endurenace, and flexability on the battlefield."

Then Zei looked at another armor "able to resist attacks up to the 2nd mana comdencing realm made with mana stones, able to camafluge you into the surrounding invoirment and bost flexibility. Zei could not help but think of how convinient that would be when spying on someone, or for assasination.

But the prices where also on the thousands of mana stones.

Then finnaly they got to their location, the forth floor "mana cultivation books"

As they walked inside into the place There where only some people unlike on the other floors, The place looked cozy with more a more dim light, then on the other floors. but there was also much less products here aswell, infact there where none all the people where linning up at the frot for the register.

Mark took Zei and walked to the line of people. The persion infront of them had a black robe on him and he looked bufft, with no hari and beard. And after giving them a quick look, he just looked back to the front not paying any more attention to them.

After some time it was finnaly their turn.

"What can i get you" a young and pretty handsome man said to them he was black and had had no hair on his hair but he had a small goat beard. He wore plain robes however Zei could se that there was not a Z on his robes, infact all the workes at the registers did not have the Z ledder on them. This made Zei specilate if this tower even belongs to the Z territory at all.

"Maybe it's the gox that rule over this." Zei thought but then Mark said "i'd like a adept realm cultivation book." The man looked at him and said "is it for your son" he then looked at Zei. "It is" mark replied.

"Very well that will be 3500 mana stones." A big bag with the blue stones out of nowhere come into Mark's hand and he gave it to the handsome man at the register.

The man took the stones and placed them at a devise near him it looked like a measuring devise for weights, then after a second the nummer on the devise Said 3500.

The man nodded and brought out a book that had some symbles at the front that looked like the runes his parents use but not exactly the same. After getting the book, Mark and Zei went out of the door and there where still stairs leading uppwards however this time there where guards there. Mark then said

"alright let's go" and then they went down the stairs and exited the tower, it was getting pretty late, the sky started to darken a little witch shows that they have been here for some time.

"Alright son let's go home" Mark sighted before leaving, the price he payed for that book still lingering on his mind.
