440 439: Don't Lie
After listening to Pamela's explanation, Corey finally understood why it was extremely important for one to register themselves in a city.
Not only did it help the leaders of a city know who could be a potential threat to the safety of the city, but it also helped them to gain a sort of control over the uncontrollable element called Outsiders.
To Outsiders like him, if he wanted, he could choose to commit mass slaughter since according to The Clown, they would not truly die and they were also not of this world so they had no attachments to this world.
Finding an ancient stone was not easy at all. Take, for example, Corey had killed a herd of Capra Feroxes but not a single one of them dropped an ancient stone.
He had to kill a Temple Guardian and a being that was stronger than an average tier 6 to get an ancient stone.
If one had to face deadly monsters like the Temple Guardian or the Capra King, then Corey was sure that very few would have an ancient stone.
This meant that to avoid being teleported to a random place, one would have to be connected to a city or a settlement to obtain at least a temporary ancient seal.
'As for the permanent ancient seal, I don't know why, but I'm not fully comfortable with it. At least I have an ancient stone so I don't need to be worried.'
Corey thought, and then he recalled the peculiar situation of Gravenstone City.
'Dead people can come back to life as zombies... No wonder the fog outside the city felt familiar but also unfamiliar at the same time. The fog's aura is similar to the aura of Triple X... The aura of death.'

"Thank you for helping us. It's much better for us if we don't have to take lengthy tests."
Pamela smiled faintly, and then she gestured with her right hand, "Don't worry about it. I already said I'd like to be acquainted with somebody as talented as you."
Corey's eyes flickered slightly, and then a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Likewise."
Pamela nodded with the same smile, and then she turned towards the woman who sat behind a desk.
'Could it be one of their abilities? Or is it an object?'
Barely a second passed after Pamela spoke directly into his mind, and he decided to push the fact that Pamela could speak directly to his mind even with all his defenses to the back of his mind.
'Could it be an ability of her class, Rune Sage?... She's a true monster.'
Corey could not restrain his smile, and to everybody in the building, it was like he was giving the woman a smile that almost made her blush.
"Name is Corey Zane, tier 2, Genesis Armament is an axe, battle prowess is a low-level tier 4. As for my elemental affinity, I'm not sure."
Corey answered everything truthfully except his battle prowess.
He told them his battle prowess was a low-level tier 4, and in a way, he was lying and not lying at the same time.
He deliberately used the term 'low level' since technically, if he fought a low-level tier 4 being, and the stats of the being were in the Violet Star realm like Pamela, then it'll be extremely difficult.
To Corey, what was more important in a fight were the stats and skills of an opponent, not his level.
After Corey finished speaking, the woman took a subtle glance to the side for a fraction of a second before looking back at the paper that was in front of her.
She grabbed the quill that was beside the paper, and Corey noticed that there was no ink bottle. However, he also noticed something else.
'The female cleaner huh?'
The woman writing down his information had taken a glance in the direction of the female cleaner. Although his Eyes of Omniscience were not active so he didn't have a bird's eye view of everything around him, he knew the exact positions of the two male guards and the female cleaner.
'If they have an object that can tell if one is lying or if they have abilities that can tell if one is lying, then I should also assume that such a thing would not only be available in the city hall of various cities.'
'I'll have to be careful with my words in the future.'
Corey thought as the woman took his information and then Selene's information. After doing all of these, they all left the city hall.
