Chapter 171: Entering the Tenth Floor!
"Elder sister, I will be going to the Monster Tower. After that, I'll be exploring the nearby city until late at night so I won't be back until tomorrow. So, don't cook for me," Whittaker said and Nina nodded in reply.
"Okay, make sure to take care of yourself, and here take these with you." She replied, and she then handed over a small pouch and a Jade emblem to Whittaker.
"What's this?" Whittaker asked while looking at the things in his hand. This time Noah didn't notify him of what they are as they were protected from Inspection by magical rune designs.
"It's a little pocket change that might come in handy when you are interested in purchasing something. As for the token, it's the insignia of the King Feng Palace. You can use it when you get in trouble, and your trouble will be easily resolved. You can also use it to get favorable treatment from any Hall in the Kingdoms." Nina explained.
In simple words, the jade emblem showcased Whittaker's position as a member of the royal family. His status wasn't a "Commoner" anymore as he was now the inheritor of Elder Zachary who is the owner of the King Feng Palace in the Wind Kingdom. After his death, Whittaker will inherit the position of King Feng!
"Thanks, sis but where's Elder Zachary," he asked.
"Oh, he's feeling tired so he's resting," Nina replied with a smile. However, internally she felt saddened as she felt the pain Zachary was feeling.
Hearing her words, no suspicions were raised and Whittaker left the palace wearing all of the Azure-sky equipments. However, the equipment was all covered with a luxurious emerald robe that he wore.
He teleported to the Monster tower and walked towards the base of the monolith. On his way there, he was met with the same familiar guard for inspection.
He teleported to the Monster tower and walked towards the base of the monolith. It was a busy day today as a lot of people have come to enter the Monster tower. There was a line of people and the guards were making sure to fulfill their duties. They were making sure to check every person's ID card before allowing them entry into Monster Tower.
Whittaker was walking towards the monolith to get in line and wait for his turn but the moment the guards saw him, the captain guard himself stepped towards Whittaker. With a light smile, the guard respectfully saluted him.
"Esteemed Young Lord, the members of King Feng family and their relatives do not need to follow the rules set by the nobles and ruling families of the cities. There's no need for you to get in line. If you may then please directly enter the Monster Tower otherwise it will be considered as us disrespecting you." The commander guard said with a slight bow.
Disrespecting a member of King Feng's house was a serious problem. Even if it's not a crime, a person with no impressive background will have his life destroyed if such a matter reached the ears of their higher up. They will abandon him at the very moment new of him disrespecting a royal reaches their ears.
"How do you know of me?" Whittaker asked the guard. However, internally somethings clicked and he then chuckled slightly while thinking, 'It seems like becoming an inheritor of an Elder Zachary comes with these perks.'
"Everyone in the Kingdom of Wind has been notified about your esteemed self. In every place of the Wind kingdom, guards at or above the rank of captain, members of noble houses, various associations, and owners of big auction houses have been informed about you. Plus, those who see you are tasked with showing you the same respect as king Feng himself." The commander guard said.
The news about someone becomings King Feng (Elder Zachary) inheritor has already spread in the kingdom of Wind, and this news was currently spreading throughout the awakened continent. It won't be long before everyone knows that someone has become King Feng's inheritor.
Although not many knew the name or appearance of the inheritor, the incident taken place here some weeks ago was more than enough for the guards here to understand who the boy that came with King Feng could be. At that time, the guard was ignorant and at first didn't recognize King Feng but later on, he did, and then that guard informed the commander of the guards stationed at Monster Tower about it.
On the same day, the commander guard has received info from the higher-ups about King Feng's unknown inheritor and he concluded that the boy who appeared with Elder Zachary is the inheritor. Even if he's not, the boy surely has some relation with King Feng and must not be mistreated.
That's why Whittaker is being treated like a Young Lord by the guards surrounding the monster tower. As for those who don't know who the inheritor is, Whittaker just needs to show them the jade tablet that Elder sister Nina gave him.
The jade tablet was the insignia of the King Feng palace and intelligent people will be able to understand that he's the inheritor with a single look.
"Follow me please." The commander guard said with a smile.
"Sure, lead on," Whittaker replied.
He didn't feel like being hesitant. Now that he's the inheritor of Elder Zachary, he will happily accept all the benefits that came with it. Actually, there was no need to not accept it, as that will be a foolish choice.
The commander guards ordered the other guards and peoples to make way for Whittaker, and a line was created in the middle.
"Is that kid a VIP?"
"I don't think so. Look, the commander himself is personally escorting him on such a busy day. Even VIP's aren't given such special treatment. That pretty boy is probably a royal child or some important person!"
"Hey, can you both be respectful! Stop calling him kid again and again. If he hears what you said, you might get in trouble!"
"Ah, our bad! We will try to be more careful with our words from now on."
Under the curious eyes and murmurs of the peoples, he stepped towards the monolith and placed his hand on it.
In the very next moment, Whittaker was teleported to Floor-0 of the monster tower.
"Welcome, this is probably the last time we will be each other. So tell me young boy which of the first ten floors has you chosen to go to?" Asked the spirit of the tower when Whittaker appeared.
Although each floor of the tower was a wonder in himself, Whittaker didn't have the luxury to explore it. Currently, he just wanted to climb the tower as fast as possible and reach floor-31st within two months. Hence, he looked towards Jafar and replied with a smile,
"Tower spirit, I want to be teleported to the tenth floor!"
"As you wish," Jafar staff shone and a spatial gateway suddenly opened up right beneath Whittaker's feet.
"Good luck with your adventures, young Ruler!"
That was the last thing Whittaker heard before he was swallowed by the spatial gate. In the very next moment, he got teleported to the tenth floor of the Monster Tower.
