Buying the privacy feature I did not immediately leave the crossway. Instead soaked in the beauty of the majestic fountain in the middle of the crosswalk. The fountain itself was nothing special but the rainbow-colored water made all the difference. The rainbow-colored water was not actually water but various rules in liquid form. Now that was luxurious.

To see the rules in liquid form a card apprentice would have to have a high synchronization rate so that they can get closer to the world's will deep in the spiritual plane. But here in the inter-realm city, they were using rules in liquid form as water for their fountain. Blood rule stone and broken rune of water rule were not worth much as an offering to the devil merchant code.

The rules and the soul energy in the air of sector DS0909 were so rich and thick that I could feel them touching my skin. With this level of concentration of rules in the air, anyone can easily comprehend the rules to the basic mastery in minutes just like the rich concentration of blood rule in the air of Bloodette's dungeon seal.

However, comprehending rules here would be good for the demon merchants of the dark realm but not the demon merchants from other realms as the rules in the sector DS0909 are the rules in the dark realm's will. As I deduced from Corey Park's instruction to Corey, rules were not the same in all realms, they were similarities but not the same.

Comprehending these rules would be counter-productive as it was not a guarantee that the rules I comprehended here could be found in the card world. If the rule or rule meaning I comprehended here was not available on the card world then I would have to come here every time I try to comprehend and raise my mastery in that particular rule or rule meaning. This was the way it was counterproductive to try and comprehend the rule in this sector, but it would be a different story if in the sector belonging to the card realm.

Done with the fountain, I walked around it having spotted a sector DS0909 map board. The map was very detailed. Since I will need it to navigate my way in sector DS0909 I used my Hive AI to copy the map and determined where I was in the 8th cross of sector DS0909. According to the map, this was where the demon merchants not of the dark realm mostly arrived at.

Copying the detailed map of sector DS0909, I decide to go to the Dariaus merchant mall. This place was recommended in every article I bought. Apparently, it was the only place where newbie demon merchants could afford something. It was a known truth that new demon merchants were rich but not inter-realm rich unless they were from a family of demon merchants.

As I prepared to leave, I saw a figure appear out of thin air. It was another newbie demon merchant. It had a humanoid appearance and dawned a unique style of clothing. It was red-colored skin with short white hair but it was only 1.2 meters tall. However, it had big feet for a human of its size.

I do not know which race this demon merchant belongs to but its appearance closely resembled the human race apart from its red skin, white hair, and big feet. Especially, its expressions. For now, I decided to call its race, the Red-Clad Dwarfs. While adding books on identifying various races of myriad realms to my shop list.

Instead of leaving the fountain, I decided to stick around and see if I could socialize with the Red-Clad Dwarf. Not my style but that was the whole point of the inter-realm city.

The Red-Clad Dwarf looked around curiously but then its expression became stiff soon it began to look around like a ferocious beast baring its canines at anyone that spare it a glance me included. It seems it was alert about the anonymous demon merchants trying to access its identity by the inter-realm network.

Seeing its reaction I reconsidered my idea to reach out to the Red-Clad Dwarf. And left towards the Darius merchant mall while admiring the fascinating unique architecture of the sector DS0909. As much as I wanted to enter the fancy shops and boutiques that I passed by I did not do so…

*Boom* I turned to see the source of the sound only to find the Red-Clad Dwarf from earlier trying to forcefully enter a fancy shop but could not as an invisible force was pushing him back with equal and opposite force until he was thrown back.

Seeing this I couldn't help but wonder if the inter-realm city was not warning Red-Clad Dwarf about its behavior and why it could not enter the shop or if it was ignoring the dialogue boxes from the inter-realm city. Being thrown to the street the Red-Clad Dwarf glare furiously at the shop with teary eyes. I was starting to get the feeling that Red-Clad Dwarfs were very ignorant and immature as a race or just this particular Red-Clad Dwarf was. I cannot ignore that maybe this Red-Clad Dwarf was young for its race explaining its behavior.

The reason why I did not try to enter the fancy shops by the crossway and why the Red-clad dwarf was denied entry to the shop was that the shops in the city have access to a particular feature of the inter-realm city by making an appropriate offering to the devil merchant code. This feature allowed the shops to deny entry to demon merchants that did not have a minimum net worth to buy the cheapest product in the shop. All the articles I had bought on the basics of demon merchant codex had warned me about this particular feature of the inter-realm city.
