Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 1150: The Best Place to Get Information

”Hey wait! Let me come with you guys,” Kaleb shouted from far away and ran toward Ning and Tenn, quickly leaving the arena.

They stopped and turned around. ”You want to come with us?” Ning asked.

”Yeah, why? Are you going to refuse?” Kaleb asked.

”No, Iʼm not,” Ning said. ”But I thought you didnʼt meddle with people that were weak.”

”Hey, you canʼt call yourself weak now. I only called you that because you were just a 5 Sense Improvement realm Essence user back then,” Kaleb said while dismissing the claims. ”Now that you are in the Essence Manifestation realm, you are more than allowed to be my friend.”

Ning wasnʼt sure how to respond to that. ”Alright then, letʼs go together,” he said.

”Actually no,” Tenn said. ”I heard you say something about your aunt being in the city. If youʼre going to meet her, you canʼt come with us.”

”Huh? Why not?” Kaleb asked.

”Weʼre actually going to the city a little later, so you will be late,” Tenn said. ”You should go on ahead without us.”

Ning frowned a bit. ʼIs he trying to get rid of him?ʼ he wondered.

”Oh,” Kaleb spoke and looked around to see if anyone was there. ”Actually, I donʼt have any aunt. I was just tired of staying with the group and wanted to go visit the city. So Iʼm fine if weʼre going to be late.”

”Really?” Tenn looked surprised. ”Then awesome, you can come with us.”

With that, Kaleb joined them as well. Ning was a little confused as to what had just happened. He walked by Tenn and asked, ”did you not say weʼre going to the city later because you wanted not to let him join the team?”

”Huh? No, I was telling the truth,” Tenn said. ”Weʼre only going to go to the city something around evening, right after the sun goes down but before the security gets too tight.”

”Huh? Why?” Ning asked.

”If we go too early, people will recognize me and soon enough, somehow, the news will get to my parents. At that point, I will most likely die,” Tenn said. ”So we have to delay it for as long as we can.”

Ning was curious about what it was all about. Why would he die just because they saw him in there?

”Ok, so what do we do now?” Kaleb asked.

”Letʼs just go grab some food or something. There are many towns and villages outside the main city walls too,” Tenn said and started walking away.

The road that led to Whiteowl city was paved with flat stones and was very comfortable to walk on. It wasnʼt uneven like a dirt road would be and neither did it kick up a lot of dust.

People walked past them because of how slow they were and at some point, they even saw the prince and princess going past them on a carriage.

Not far behind them, another carriage took away Yorsha, the girl Ning remembered as ʼtalented with fireʼ.

They found their way to a small shop that sold hot snacks, so the group sat around talking and eating.

Kaleb was curious about the city and asked many questions to Tenn. Tenn answered all the questions and started explaining his life in the city.

While a son of the Foreman, neither of his parents had much influence in the family, so he wasnʼt born with much influence either.

His father was just a cousin to the current head and was thus already considered not to be a part of the main family. His mother came from a reputable family in the Whiteowl region as well, but she could never compare to any of the Foremans at all.

Of course, being a Foreman still made them one of the most influential people in the city itself and that was enough to make Tenn quite famous throughout the entire city.

There were no important figures in the city that would at least not have heard about him. Apparently, his influence had gotten bigger after he had been accepted by the Blackhawk Academy as well.

”When I went back a week ago, it took me half an hour to get back to the house because people kept stopping to say hello,” Tenn said while sighing incessantly.

They sat around for a while before the sun started going past the horizon.

”Alright, letʼs go before itʼs too late,” Tenn said and the group left. Sometimes in between, Tenn changed his clothes to something darker with a hood to hide.

In the evening, it was impossible to tell who it was that was walking.

The group appeared outside Whiteowl city and the guards checked who was going into the city.

Tenn hid his face for most of it, but at one point he had to show it just to make sure he wasnʼt a known criminal.

The three of them were let in without any more words and Tenn sighed in relief once he got inside. ”Good, it looks like he didnʼt recognize me,” he said before putting up his hood.

”Alright, letʼs go,” Tenn said.

”Right, where exactly are we going?” Kaleb asked. He had just followed the two of them and hadnʼt really bothered with where they were going.

”Brother Ning here wants some information on the nobles of the Whiteowl region, so Iʼm taking him to the best place to get the information,” Tenn said.

”Oh, an information broker?” Kaleb asked.

”Uhh… not exactly,” Tenn said and continued walking.

Ning and Kaleb curiously followed behind Tenn as he took them through the inner alleyways and minor roads of the city until he arrived in an area that did not look like one that he was supposed to come to.

”This…” Ning realized where they were.

”Are you kidding me?” even Kaleb was a little surprised and scared.

”I told you, didnʼt I?” Tenn asked. ”That my parents would kill me if they found out.”

”No wonder,” Ning thought. ”So, the best place to get the information I want is actually the red light district?”
