Tuzai and Fuyo made their way to the magic carpet parking lot. It wasn't very far from the Bone Relic Pavilion and only took them ten minutes to get there.

At the front of the area there was a large gate laced with barb wire. Behind the gates were hundreds of rugs, Fuyo was a bit confused.

"Umm...Tuzai, what are those?"

"They are magic carpets."

"Wait, you mean they are literally carpets? I thought that was a metaphor. How are we supposed to ride those things around?"

"They fly around; I'm not quite sure how they work because I've never been on one. Look up there."

Fuyo changed his gaze to the sky, up ahead was a cultivator just leaving the parking lot. He flew through the air and shot off into the distance.

"Hey, that guy has wings why doesn't he just fly?"

"Because flying gets exhausting, magic carpets are also faster and they can travel long distances."

It was very practical and useful Fuyo thought. They went to the front gate, it was closed. There was a little office on the left side covered by a glass window.

"Um, hey there. How do I get in to get my magic carpet?"

The guy they were talking to was reading a paper when he looked up, he noticed their clothes, looked at their temperament and realized they must be nobles. But he was also a noble along with every other employee here so he didn't have to grovel before them like most people.

Noble families would force their younger generation to get jobs and then cut them off from their inheritance for a few years. This was to teach them discipline and money management skills. If they never did this, then all it took was one bad egg to squander their entire fortune down the drain and the family would be done for.

"Oh, hey sorry about that. I'm the valet here. What's your parking number? I can give you directions."

"We don't know sorry, we have this thing here. We're not quite sure how it works." Tuzai slipped the magic carpet card underneath the glass window.

The guard grabbed it with a face full of smiles, many people would forget where they parked because so many magic carpets were parked here. It was only natural for them to forget. The reason so many park their magic carpets here is thanks to the security. No one would ever dear stealing from here. It was guarded by 12 Spirit Lords and even a Spirit King!

Even the front guard in front of them was a Spirit Warrior.

He glanced over the card and stopped in his tracks.

"M...Mi Lords, I didn't realize it was you. I apologize, I will escort you their personally."

He opened the gates and bowed as they walked through.

"Psst...what's going on?"

"I'm not sure, just play along."

Fuyo and Tuzai didn't know what to make of the situation but they continued on anyway. It can't be anything bad to be treated like a Lord right?

They walked through the front door and a magic carpet landed at their feet.

"Mi Lords, this is a navigation carpet. It will help us reach your carpet sooner."

They stepped on and the carpet lifted up into the air, Fuyo could image that it would feel very strange if he stood on two legs, he might even fall off but he was a caterpillar right now. It was like he was lying down so it was very comfortable.
