Chapter 504: Space Hub

Charles found himself traveling in a similar bluish tunnel-like structure the next instant and breathed out a sigh of relief.

At that moment, he also noticed the strange radiations appearing everywhere and affecting his body.

Frowning, he touched the 'Nature's Leaf' and activated the forcefield-like ability.

After that, he looked around and started analyzing the surroundings.

At that moment, myriads of stars, cosmos, cloud-like structures, asteroids, and many other space things moved past him continuously.

But unlike the last time when he traveled to the Lost Tombs dungeon, no black tentacles or other spatial creatures appeared in his sight and attacked him.

After traveling for a few more seconds, Charles again felt another suction force coming out from the nearby space tunnel and pulled him out!

A moment later, his vision turned blurry, and the next instant, he felt his body smashed onto a hard white-colored floor.

Simultaneously, an invisible pressure assaulted his body from everywhere, followed by multiple powers trying to probe his body!

Without any delay, he released his wisdom power and blocked them.

He also noticed that the gravity power in that place was two times greater than Edhen.

'Gravity?'

Thankfully, his physical body was much higher than an average human body, so he didn't feel much difficulty standing up.

Soon, he looked around and noticed that he was standing in a largely empty hall. The surrounding walls, the floor, and even the ceiling were painted white!

Moreover, there wasn't even a single sign of decoration or furniture that appeared in his sight.

As he was looking at the surrounding in confusion, the space before him started to distort, and soon a young woman teleported in front of his eyes.

Her body was slender, and she appeared to be around 25-years-old. She was wearing a white vest, a blue skirt, and an orange scarf wrapped on her head, and she was wearing a pair of red gloves. She had long shiny blonde hair, a round face, crystal-like azure eyes, pointy ears, and appeared to be around 190 to 192 cm high.

"An elf?" Charles said in surprise and looked her up and down.

In the meantime, the young elven woman curled her lips upward, gave him a polite smile, and answered in a Rune Language.

But the voice that came out of her mouth appeared synthetic.

"Welcome to the 'Halo' Floating City, Mister. You are now in the Space Hub of Ditune Galaxy's interplanetary teleportation midpoint." She paused for a moment and then added.

"I'm a Homunculus assistant no-AR241. You can call me Vera."

'A Homunculus, huh.'

Charles nodded his head and asked.

"Am I able to travel to Edhen World from here? What are the procedures for that?"

"You can, Mister. But we have no records of your history. Also, you used someone else's ID to enter the Lawful Faction's Space Hub, and it violates the law of Space Travel. So, we need to verify if you killed a member of our Lawful Faction to sneak in here or just borrowed it from him. Please do not resist the probing scans."

The same female authentic voice came out of her mouth.

Just as she finished her words, another round of multiple invisible powers came out from different parts of the walls and floors and started scanning him.

At that moment, an authentic male voice echoed from the surroundings suddenly.

"Scanning the portal stone... Identity Holder's Soul Mame: Runeth Aixus Rit'zyk."

"Scanning the Identity Number: 255308 211648 278153 269542 273447 147746 271062 179267"

"Scanning the Human's body: No abnormal radiations or chaotic energy found."

"Scanning for Bloodline: High-Human Bloodline Detected!"

"Scanning for Pathways: Class Gem path Mystic!"

"Scanning for ID Card Holder's history in the Human's memories... Match Found!"

"Analyzing..."

"Analysis completed-"

"Universal Explorer Runeth's Soul Message detected!"

"Deciphering...."

"Message Deciphered!"

"The Deciphered message will be delivered to Origin Seeker Ainhoa under the request of the Universe Explorer!"

"Re-entering Runeth's status from 'Dead' to 'Alive.'"

...

The scanning process continued for more than a minute, and finally, it ended after sending a row of information into his mind.

In that information, Charles saw his lawful faction identity.

"Soul Name: Charles Nightwind

Identity Number: 492576 2756921 19572521 2950252 710583 1988472 1740214...

Passcode: ***************************************************

Wealth: 1 Emperor Silver (Beginner's Gift)

Mission Completed: Nil"

As Charles read the information, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

He then turned his gaze towards Vera and asked multiple questions at a time.

"How much is this 1 Emperor Silver worth? Do I have to use these Emperor Silvers for Space travel? How much do I need now to go to Edhen World?"

Meanwhile, Vera bowed her head and answered.

"Emperor Silver's worth varies from one place to another, Mr. Charles. One Emperor Silver coin is more than enough to buy a single-storied house in Halo Floating City, but you will need more than 10 Emperor Silvers to buy the same-sized house in any urban Space Hubs. Also, you have to convert Emperor Silver to the Local Currency for using it here. As for the hyperweb space travel, it varies." She paused for a moment, waved her hand, and created a projection.

At that moment, a map of the spiral galaxy appeared in front of his eyes.

"It's the map of Ditune Galaxy, Mr. Charles. Can you pinpoint the location of your destination? I'll tell you how much it will cost."

Nodding his head, Charles used his hand to zoom in towards a particular part of the primary bar and soon shook his head.

"No, this is the first time I'm seeing a galaxy map. But I know the coordination of my home planet. It's in Myxend Solar System." Charles said solemnly and sent a piece of memory towards Vera.

Meanwhile, the Homunculus Vera scanned the memory and soon zoomed in to a particular area.

Within seconds, a bluish-green planet appeared in front of Charles's eyes.

'Edhen!' A smile appeared on his face.

At that moment, Vera also calculated the cost of travel and answered.

"It will cost around 10 Emperor Silvers, Mr. Charles."

Vera paused for a moment as she noticed the troubled look on his face and then suggested.

"But you can use Lord Runeth's ID for your travel now."

"Can I?" Charles asked in surprise and hurriedly looked at the portal stone.

On the other hand, Vera nodded her head and responded.

"Yes. It's normal for Lawful Faction members to use their comrade's ID or Portal Stone for emergency purposes. As long as you are a Lawful Faction member, you won't face any problem."

"Oh? Then, can you please transport me to Edhen Plane?" Charles asked while inputting Runeth's ID, Soul Name, and Passcode in the portal stone.

"Okay." Vera also nodded her head and disappeared from there.

Three seconds later, Charles felt a spatial fluctuation in front of him, and soon an invisible force sucked him into a void.
