Kabaharam was known as the city of pleasure and leisure. It was a large city with a very small population. One needed to pay one hundred thousand Stella just to enter the city and everything inside was also super expensive. So only the super rich people were able to visit it.
As their stay in the last city had been quite tiring, Azusa had chosen this city to relax for a bit. Even though this place was extremely expensive, no one actually ever considered this place to be a scam. That was because the reason for the expensive nature of the city was very justified.
The whole city was covered in several large scale formations with various incredible effects like "Serene Mind", "Calm Heart", "Minor Recovery", "Status Effect Healing" etc. so just by entering the city, even injured and tired people would start to feel amazingly refresh.
To continue running these formations all day long, the city needed use a huge amount of mana crystals. These mana crystals were very valuable, almost as valuable as a diamond was to a regular person. So, just to supply the whole city with enough mana crystals, they needed a large amount of money.
That was not all. The materials used to build the city were also extremely expensive. All the bricks of this city were made from Time Tracing Mud and Spirit Guard Mud. Both of them were extremely rare materials which had main concepts associated with them.
This was just one simple example. All the other materials used for this city were just this expensive and useful. Many powerhouses came to visit this city if they were injured or if they needed some inspiration to make a breakthrough.
Azusa had excitedly told Elena the background of this city. It was quite impressive. This city was created by a group of sage who called themselves the "Five Great Sages".
This was a grand project that they had started because they wanted to build the best city of this world. Actually the construction of this place was still ongoing and when it would be finished, there was a very high chance that this place would truly become the best city of this world.
...
Upon paying the entrance fees and entering the city, Elena and Azusa were immediately given a guide to help them. As the people entering this place were paying a lot of money, this was a standard service that this city provided.
Elena and Azusa's guide was a mature lady with a very responsible vibe. Seeing her, one would correctly assume that she was a very serious person. Seeing her glasses would just strengthen that feeling. She introduced herself as Asana.
There were no private owned inns in the city, people coming here needed to register themselves with the city Authorities to book a mansion. So first, Elena and Azusa decided to visit the residential office and to rent a mansion for a week or so.
While going toward this place, Asana explained few things about the city to Elena and Azusa. Almost 90 percent of the building in this city were mansions which could be rented by others. The rest of the 10 percent were building that were temporarily given to various influential organisation to open their businesses here.
Among them, some of the famous ones were a massege parlor made by a group called Nadiha. There were also brothels belonging to the most famous night business group called the "Jade Maidens". Then there was also a famous general trading company called the "Unlimited Wealth Alliance". No individual people were allowed to do any kind of business here. Only large and famous organisations were allowed.
Among these, one caught both Elena and Azusa's interest. It was a company called "Profound Truth Society". This society dealt with various specialised magic related products like magic items, scrolls and everything else. This was a subsidiary of the Truth Guild but the management of it in this world was almost independent.
This place should have at least a few lesser concept related items for sell. And as this city only had people who were on the stronger side, the items found here should also be of a high quality.
While thinking this and having simple conversation with Asana, Elena and Azusa had reached the residential office. There they paid an insane sum of money to book a medium sized mansion for a week. This mansion came ready with experienced servants and guards, so the ladies had no reason to worry about anything and they could just enjoy staying there.
As the paperwork for the booking was taking place, Elena curiously enquired if she could buy a property in this city. Her young master senses were telling her that buying anything here would be a massive flex. But unfortunately for her, even the large organisations here were just renting the building that they were using. Every plot of land in this city belonged to the Five Great Sages. No one else had any rights over the city at all.
This was a disappointing result but Elena did not mind it too much as it was something that she had expected. Actually there was a very good and valid reason for the Five Great Sages to not sell anything here. The grand formations covering the whole city had thousands of nodes associated with it. Even if just one of those nodes was disturbed, then that could greatly damage the whole formation. So the sages could never allow someone to have legal access to it.
...
After leaving the residential office, Elena and Azusa both asked Asana to bring them to the magic item shop. Both of the beautiful ladies were quite excited to see what kind of things the magic item shop of this elite city had to offer.
But Asana recommended them to visit the general store first. It was located on the same way as the magic item shop and the general Store also had several magic items. So it was better to check the general store first before going to the specialised place.
According to Asana, the items in the general store cost a little less money if compared to the other shops of this city. The reason for that was a very good deal that only the owner of the general store had with this city leaders.
As Asana was the expert here and the ladies were interested in the general store too, they accepted her proposal without any objection. So Asana immediately started to bring the two ladies there while giving a brief description about the owner organisation of the general store.
