Chapter 228: Chapter 228 228: Wandering Angora City

Michael let Sheina and Yuna deal with the arrangements of the Reborn company, while he, of course, went on to explore Angora City by himself. He reiterated to them that this was purely a scientific endeavor, one that would allow them to observe the happenings of this new and unknown place. Of course, he was met with a lot of speculation that he was merely - as they say - 'playing' around. The fact that Fudge was with him made it seem even more apparent to them that he just wanted to slack off in this new City. Thankfully, one of the perks of being the leader of a nation was that he could do whatever he wanted. So, he began walking through the streets of Angora City, looking at the unique architecture and culture that was still in its medieval form. Horse carriages run rampant in the stone bricked streets, with their 'droppings' still present all around. For people in this world, this was normal. He walked and observed the food, the people, everything that he could see. He found it quite weird that he didn't see that many demi - humans in this place. They were present for sure, but not to the amount they had back in the Kings region. He had heard that because of the expensive living situation in most capital cities, demi - humans struggle to populate them. Just then, as Fudge jumped around and judged the lesser quality of life in this city, Michael came across a peculiar group of demi - humans in the streets. There were a few demi - human teens scrubbing the stables and taking care of the horses parked inside. They seemed to be employees of the establishment in front of them. Michael stopped in the middle of the street and looked at the Inn in front of him. It was still primarily made out of wood, probably about a couple of decades ago. And it looked like it hadn't been renovated recently as Michael saw evidence of rotten wood and decaying planks. Compared to the other 'high - end' establishments he saw earlier, which were made out of stone, this one looked to be in a very poor condition. Not to mention that this place was located in the 'slums' part of the City, the Welcome's Inn didn't look like a place that was visited much by a lot of customers. But however much interesting this place was, Michael's initial curiosity wasn't with the building, it was with the demi - humans taking care of it. They stood on two feet, had bodies filled with fur, and a tail that dragged across the floor. He recognised them because they were the species that Michael first awakened back in the Parched Lands. However, there was one stark difference with the Mankeys here and the Mankeys back at the Parched Lands. These people had red fur! - Species: Red Mankeys Just like before, these species were the lowest of the low, having no affinity at all to wield mana in their bodies. Of course, he was able to change that. Now, Mankeys were the most talented group in all of the Nation of Reborn. Their skills in production, agriculture, and engineering were part of the reason why it had grown and developed so fast in a matter of a few years. Just then, Michael's nose started to itch. It had been so long since he felt this sensation that he thought it was a mere natural bodily reaction he had to the horse 'droppings' on the floor. But, no. This was his skill at work! It was telling him that these Red Mankeys could lead him to find extremely talented individuals! The last time he felt this was when he met the Dragonborns. If any of these Red Mankeys proved to be even a fraction as talented as the Dragonborns, then they would serve to be an extremely needed group in the Nation of Reborn. Spurred on by this possibility, Michael quickly turned around and introduced himself to the Red Mankeys. "Hello…sir…welcome…to…welcome's inn…" one of them said meekly, struggling to maintain eye contact. "Welcome…sir…" the others followed suit. Michael sent a signal to Fudge, and the violet slime immediately sent out his clones to inhabit the shadows of the Red Mankeys. And with this connection, ChatJK3 was able to take a peek at their potential talents.
