Ruler's Awakening: Inheritor of the SSS-Rank Dimensional Talent-Chapter 179: Internal Persona Magic Item

***

The next day.

Arthur walked down the main street in the equipment and items area. Yesterday, he visited the same area but in different districts.

Caught by curiosity regarding the various types of items, Arthur decided to go there after staying at the city inn.

It wasn’t hard for one to pass out or into a certain district. They could tell the difference between one district and another.

The Night Liberators District was filled with red-painted buildings; the architectural style was abstract, undetermined by them.

The Sky Sword District was filled with white and blue, their pride colors. Not only that, but they also designed the architecture of the building in a minimalist medieval style, which seemed ancient but elegant.

However, the Dimension Justice District was different from the other two groups. The architecture was East Asian style, with pagodas and distinctive houses. The colors were filled with red and gold.

Despite the differences, the three major groups worked together to govern the city well. The City Cathedral was in the Dimension Justice district, while the guild office was in the Sky Sword district.

For the Night Liberators? They had the freedom to be the city’s gatekeepers. They determine who can and cannot enter the city.

Currently, Arthur was inside the Dimension Justice district, or as they called it, the feast street. There was a reason why they called it that.

People gathered on the street, dressed in gold and red while sprinkling festive trinkets outside their houses and above the street. They dance, perform magic tricks, and sing to bring the place to life.

Whenever a party was organized, all the shops would give discounts, which Dimension Justice would pay for as the person in charge of the event.

It suddenly attracted many customers from two districts to visit the Dimension Justice district in droves.

Jovanni knew how to get customers and spoil them in his district, which was full of parties and festivities.

’The competition between districts is not determined by how much money they make, but how consistently city people visit their districts,’ Arthur replied.

He looked to the right and left, watching as item or food shops began to be flooded by the arrival of the other city’s people.

They did not hesitate to show their interest in discounted events. As long as they got the items they wanted, why should they be embarrassed by discounts?

’The leader of Dimension Justice is pretty smart. He may have lost money due to the shortage of discounted events, but he managed to build trust in the city. Trust is important to maintain the consistency of the city’s economy,’ said Arthur.

Simply put, once they know the quality of the items and food in this place, they will return again and again -even if there is no discount event.

The most important thing for Jovanni was to build a good impression of the area for the city, and then they would be impressed and prefer to spend their money in the Dimension Justice district.

Arthur’s steps were interrupted when he saw one equipment store in a different situation. Not a single customer came to the store, while the other stores on its right and left were crowded with customers.

Arthur watched the place. The middle-aged woman’s look was haggard, her teenage daughter and son kept calling out outside the store to attract customers to visit their shop.

But alas, it was hopeless. No matter how hard they tried, no one approached the place. Aaron felt bad; he had to do something about it.

The man walked in slowly, and the shop owner’s daughter smiled and welcomed Aaron in.

Just as Aaron stepped his foot into the store room, he unexpectedly received a nauseous sensation, intense magical pressure, and a strange whisper that told him to leave.

[Get away from that place if you don’t want to die!]

’This? The persona power? Why couldn’t I sense it when I was outside?’ asked Aaron, confused.

Seeing Aaron’s queasy and uncomfortable face, they tried to calm him down. Everyone who came to the store had similar facial expressions; not many chose to skip shopping because of the incident.

"Drink this. It can relieve the symptoms of nausea and dizziness that you feel," requested the middle-aged woman, the equipment store owner.

Aaron’s eyes closed, he lifted his two fingers up at chest height. Purple light appeared at the tips of the two fingers. Slowly, Arthur’s magic vision could detect the strange magic flow spreading in the room.

The flow was so strong and intense, they were getting a constant supply of magical energy from someone.

Aaron realized the reason for the shop’s lack of customers, someone was deliberately sabotaging the place to make the customers run away.

’What makes this place deserted is because of the effect of the environmental persona within the store room,’ Aaron explained.

’Another reason why I can’t detect it from the outside is because this magic works by transmitting its magic from the items kept here,’ Aaron said.

Through the man’s magic vision, Aaron detected that the flow of magic in the room was produced from a jug stored in the center of the room, which then distributed its magic to four medallions displayed in the room’s four corners.

From the four medallions, they emitted strong magical radiation to anyone who came besides the shopkeeper’s family.

The high magic radiation caused the symptoms of nausea and dizziness felt by everyone who visited the shop.

’I understand it all!’ Aaron explained.

The symptoms of nausea and dizziness began to subside and disappear. Aaron’s body glowed purple, to the surprise of the three people in the room -the shop owner’s family.

Aaron picked up the brown clay jug and smashed it, startling the shopkeeper.

"That’s a jug for saving magic energy. Why are you breaking it?" the woman shouted.

"Keep quiet!" said Aaron.

"I’m helping your shop," he countered.

The man reached into every corner of the room, picking up medallions patterned with black lion faces. They were all collected in Arthur’s arms, and the man instantly burned them to the ground.

The shopkeeper was furious. She scolded Aaron and demanded that he compensate her for the damage to her five items. The woman said the total price of the five items was 150000 RL.

Aaron didn’t care. He still saw the traces of the environmental persona magic that still existed. With a hand formation gesture and a magic circle cast in the sky above the shop, he restored the place and got rid of the evil magic harming the shop and the surrounding area.

"What exactly are you doing?" asked the shopkeeper, confused.

Soon, other customers began to notice the shop. Those who couldn’t get into other shops began to pour into the shop, and even the middle-aged woman seemed overwhelmed by the visitors buying her goods.

She withdrew her bad assumption about Aaron. The woman realized Aaron’s arrival was solely to make her shop crowded with other customers. She didn’t have time to thank him; Aaron had already left the place.

Aaron kept walking down the feast street. Yet, he sensed that there were three mages following him. They had started following Aaron since he left the middle-aged woman’s shop.

’It seems like they’re the ones who put the persona magic into the shop,’ Aaron explained.

The man sighed, then opened his eyes and moved his body quickly. A flash of purple lightning appeared and startled the three people following him. They couldn’t keep up with the speed of Aaron’s lightning move.

"Where did that jerk go?" asked the stalker.

WOSH!

Aaron emerged among them, coming up behind their backs. The three men gasped in shock, having not expected Aaron to appear and move as fast as a lightning bolt.

"Are you looking for me?"
