Thus, after quickly eating sandwiches made by the Clark sisters, whose tastes were entirely different, the group of six, departing from the West Gate of the Territory, zipped through the landscape.
After passing through the Demonic Shadow Forest, the river to the west, and
Cyan Town.
Just as Leo Ray had estimated, in about an hour.
The magnificent outline of a city gradually appeared before them all.
At this moment, the two suns, big and small, were rising from the eastern horizon.
The red glow, like a flame, poured down from the sky. Everything was covered in a golden glow, making the entire city seem quite epic.
“Is this Freedom City, Golin City? Its size is indeed much larger than Cyan Town. Let’s investigate the distribution of power and deployment of forces here.”
He gracefully jumped off Taylor’s body, Leo Ray narrowed his eyes, looking at the city bathed in the morning sun from a distance.
At a glance, the city of Golin was built against a mountain with walls surrounding three sides and a mountain backing one side.
Many large and small buildings were built directly on the undulating hillside, giving a particular feeling.
Seeing this, Leo Ray nodded to the subordinates around him. The agile Leo Ray then started to walk towards the city gate.
Before long, when he came close to the city, Leo Ray found.
The city wall here was at least five meters high, close to twice the height of Cyan Town’s wall, almost endlessly stretching into the distance.
Moreover, with his Tier 2 five-star perception, he could distinctly feel.
Just on the small section of the city wall above his head, there were several presences on par with his own.
“It seems that the strength of the Defense Army here is much stronger than that of Cyan Town.”
Gazing at the two fully armed squads of Golin City’s Defense Army at the city gate, Leo Ray showed a thoughtful expression.
At this time, since the city gate had just recently opened, there were not many pedestrians around.
Therefore, at the signal of Leo Ray, the group did not pause and directly entered the city gate.
“Taylor, how many powerful people are in this city?”
Walking on the smooth stone road in the city, while looking at the various shops on both sides of the road preparing to open for business, Leo Ray inquired without any expression.
“My Lord, the number of powerful people here is clearly more than in Cyan Town.”
You could see Taylor, with his perception at its limit, half-squinting his eyes, respectfully replying, “Just in this surrounding area of ours, the number of Tier 3 Powerhouses is no less than 30. There are also a handful at the peak of Tier 3.
In the city center and the southern part of the city, I have also detected two auras suspected to be Tier 4 Powerhouses. However, these two auras obviously have been converged, so I can’t confirm specifically.” “What about the distribution of these Tier 3 Powerhouses around us?” Leo Ray slightly nodded his head and continued to inquire.
“My Lord, regarding this, there is something curious.”
On the other side, a puzzled expression appeared on Taylor’s rugged face.
He frowned and said, “Most of these presences are concentrated in a few fixed places in the city. Moreover, they all completely released their aura as if they were demonstrating their power. ”
“I see.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray chuckled lightly and said, “That’s easy to understand then, because these powerful people are not locals.
I guess the places where these powerful people are gathered are the most luxurious inns and other accommodations in the city.”
“Indeed, My Lord, you are brilliant!”
After Leo Ray finished speaking, Scarlett, beside him blinked her iconic Shu Uemura eyes.
Suddenly enlightened, she said, “It seems most of these powerful people should be companions of the alchemists who have come here to attend the qualifying assessment, or they are simply the alchemists themselves.”
“The saying about being brilliant, always feels a bit off.”
Taking advantage of Scarlett’s confusion, Leo Ray gave her a playful punch and then gathered his spirits again, continuing, “Okay, using information provided by Kombu, we know that the first round of level evaluation will be held officially this afternoon.
So let’s spend the whole morning investigating the alchemists who are attending the meeting.
As for the distribution of power and the deployment of forces here, that can be delayed a bit. After all, the Alchemist level evaluation will last two days.”
“Understood!” On the other side, the five subordinates beside Leo Ray immediately chimed in, including Scarlett, who looked aggrieved.
Next, after a simple inquiry, Leo Ray and his group turned the corner and arrived at the entrance of a tavern that had just begun business.
The owner of this tavern was an old acquaintance of Mason Banks when he was a mercenary. He was a man of integrity and an ideal place for them to settle in Golin City.
Pushing open the creaking wooden door and accompanied by Taylor and Gideon Black, two muscular men, Leo Ray was the first to step into this somewhat dim tavern.
Once inside, the tavern was absolutely empty. However, a nose-stinging scent of alcohol mixed with vomit immediately entered into Leo Ray’s nostrils.
With a wrinkle of his nose, Leo Ray shrugged, unaffected.
Compared to the bloody smell on the battlefield, this slightly strange scent was a breath of fresh air.
“Welcome to the Drink Without a Sword!”
Next, a cheerful girl’s voice rang out.
Following the sound, borrowing the light shining through the front door, Leo Ray noticed.
In the tavern, which had about fifteen or sixteen tables, there was only a young girl dressed as a cook at the bar counter.
She looked around seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a slightly discolored white apron, a black and white hairpin similar to a maid’s headwear, and holding a dishcloth. It seemed she was cleaning up.
“May I ask if the owner Matthew is here?” Leo Ray nodded and asked, “We are friends of Mason Banks.”
“So you are all friends of Uncle Banks. It has been almost a year since I last saw him.”
On the other side, the apron-wearer set down her rag and immediately greeted them.
She cordially led everyone to the cleanest table, pouring tea as she said, “My father went to the morning market to buy today’s ingredients. He should be back soon. Can you please wait a moment?”
“Understood, we will wait here for a while then.” Signalling his subordinates to sit down, Leo Ray nodded.
Just then, his gaze unintentionally darted out the open door towards the street outside the tavern.
The next moment, his face showed a slightly surprised expression.
He saw, on the street, a young man and woman looking towards the tavern.
Although on the surface, the pair seemed no different from other pedestrians.
However, Leo Ray was very clear.. The two, like him, were Otherworldly Lords who had traversed different worlds!
