Rudy deflated as he looked at Fane. "I just feel like the entry test isn't hard at all. We just need to complete thirty runes in the condensing plate to obtain the right to enter the city. Plus, we can bring a person along! What an easy test..."
Fane felt exasperated when he heard this. "You haven't even seen what sort of pill runes you'll need to complete. How do you know it'll be easy?"
"It's just an entry test!" refuted Rudy weakly. "How could they give out difficult problems? We just need to complete thirty pill runes, which I'm all up for. Don't look down on me!"
Fane did not know what to say at that moment. Fane had never underestimated Rudy and was just speaking the truth. If Rudy continued to stand his ground on the matter, Fane had nothing else to say.
The two of them were talking to each other when Rudy looked up and saw the stone plate in front of them. They walked toward the stone plate and read the words on the plate.
[The price is set. Ten thousand spirit crystals per person.]
Stunned to have read this, Rudy turned and, with a frown on his face, said to Fane, "What's this? An entry fee? Didn't you say that we needed to pass the test to
enter the city? Can we even pay to enter with spirit crystals?”
Fane walked over and looked at the stone plate before letting out a slight laugh. "Can you please use your head before you say anything next time? If ten thousand spirit crystals are enough to get in, then what's the point of the test?
"Didn't I tell you the rules before? There will be ninety pill runes on the condensing plate. You just need to complete thirty pill runes to be able to enter the city, and you can even bring one person in with you.
"If you complete another thirty and finish up with sixty, you can bring two other people inside.
