Every City is separated into four layers and the core. First is the Commoners Residential Area where the commoners, low and middle class people live and even the smallest cities like the Nolan City can house tens of millions of people minimum. In the CRA, no one is allowed to conduct business or render services except in exceptional cases. The closer one's resident is to the city entrance, the further away they are from the second layer which is the Commerce District. Usually, people just use the Teleportation Formation from the Star Church. The Commerce District is like a super super super large shopping centre built in each city, the smallest Commerce District like the one in Nolan City covers an area of millions of square kilometres. And the Commerce District is built like a tower to heaven with countless shops and numerous establishments rendering different services and providing different goods. The third layer is the Elite Residential Area where the rich and influential people live. Most of the people living here are business moguls owning multiple shops in the Commerce District and finally, there's the Nobility Residential Area where only nobles or those from noble families live. Most of the fancy houses there are actually vacant because nobles prefer living in their own territories. These fancy houses are only occupied when the City Lord is hosting something like a banquet or something like that. The last layer is the Noble’s Residential Property where Barons, all the way to Dukes reside and it's very hard to meet these City Lords. … Luke found himself looking at a mountainous tower of a building. It was so big, so tall that even the biggest skyscraper on Earth would completely pale in comparison. It was built mostly with glass and silver and in the shape of a unicorn snail with its tip pointing at the sky. It was extremely grand and beautiful. “So guys, where are we going first? The Adventurers Guild or the Slave Market?” “Koby, do you really have a peanut brain inside that big head of yours? How can we go to the Adventurers Guild whilst dragging this attention grabber with us?” said the assassin guy. “Yeah, Jaed is right, we have to get rid of this deadweight before meeting with the captain,” said Cynthia. “Agreed,” “Me too,” “Alright, no need to bite my head off. Since you all agree, we'll go to the Slave Market, quickly sell this guy and then go to the Adventurers Guild.” said Koby, one of the muscular guys. He then took out a flying mat large enough to carry ten people. Everyone then stood on the mat before Koby took out a palm sized mat and spoke to it. “Take us to the Slave Market,” he said and the patterns on the flying mat lit up then everyone including the mat disappeared. The mat had a Minor Teleportation Formation drawn on it and it could only be used in the Commerce District because the mall was too big for anyone to reach their destination on foot. … When they reappeared, they were in a long and wide street with many shops on both sides. Some shops sold Orcs, other shops sold both and bigger shops sold all kinds of slaves. Almost all the shops were managed by the humanoid creatures called goblins, ugly, short, green skinned creatures with an absolutely bad history and bad reputation. All the goblins working there were also wearing slave collars but it was slave collars without the chain to drag the slave around like a dog. The group passed all the fancy slave shops operated by goblins and went to a slave shop called the Slave Market where a handsome man sat outside his tent, looking all poised and elegant. “Mr Boil, we've brought you an excellent product! Come see!” shouted Cynthia excitedly and the elegant man looked over with a bored expression but as soon his eyes landed on Luke, he also became excited and rushed over. “Haha, if it isn't Theiz’s crew, I see you got me something good for me.” said Mr Boil as he inspected Luke, touching his skin, grabbing his shoulder, opening his mouth to chec
