When the door opened, a squad of black-armored soldiers stood respectfully on either side.
"Let's go!" Green said to the black-armored soldier at their head.
The leading soldier bowed respectfully to Green, then led the way.
With the black-armored soldier guiding him, Green completed his registration. As an Innate Adept, he was then taken straight into the Inner City, where he was given a villa of his own.
"Lord Green, this is the villa assigned to you!"
A villa in a modern minimalist style, entirely white, with a host of servants waiting at the entrance, appeared before Green.
The villa stood in the very center of the Inner City, almost in the heart of the Core Region.
The leaders of Clyus City hoped to win him over this way, and the servants were likely spies for various factions as well.
The Guardian Crown's ability to stabilize reality was extraordinarily precious in this chaotic world.
"But this works out well. The more they value me, the easier it'll be to get close to their core secrets!"
Faced with this sugar-coated cannonball, Green of course accepted it outright.
Over the next month.
The various factions within Clyus City made no secret of their attempts to win Green over and sound him out.
Innate and Acquired Adepts often came by to cultivate ties with him, and visits of every kind poured in without end.
Invitations to balls came one after another.
But whoever came, Green gave no clear answer.
The various factions weren't surprised by this.
In their eyes, Green had lived alone in the outside world. He was an extraordinarily powerful Adept, and one extremely wary of the outside world. Winning him over easily was simply impossible.
There was plenty of time, anyway, so the major factions within Clyus City weren't
