152 Capital city of Kitopia Empire (2/2)
”So this fellow has been hovering around the gates without showing any hostile intention.”
One of the guardsmen bowed as he spoke, ”Yes Sir Emerick, it seems to be a ship used by cultivators although I have never seen one which looks like this as such I immediately informed you.”
Emerick looked towards the ship as he spoke, ”You did the right think let me go and 'Welcome' the passengers of the vessel if something untoward happens with me you know what to do.”
The Guards nodded at his command the tension rising high amongst them as well as those outside the gat if a fight breaks out although they are sure to win but there will be lots of unnecessary deaths as well.
Sir Emerick a proud cultivator of 2nd rank Primal Daoist Rank at 65 years of age, because of his good talent in cultivation he was allowed to join the King's Guard an honour which was bestowed upon him by his Majesty himself, today he was near the Main Gates of the Capital City as such he arrived as fast as he heard the news and he was more than ready to fight with his last breath if necessary.
Sir Emerick: ”Fellow Daoist please state your reason for hovering around with your 'Ship' in front of the gates of the Riyal Capital of Kitopia.”
There was complete and utter silence the people tensed some tried to forcefully enter the city to escape from the possible bloodbath as the children were sheltered by their parents who had look of pure fear in their eyes the cultivators who were entering at that time had already ran as fast as they could to inform their academy.”
Ryuu seeing the chaos outside frantically searched for any form means of communication with the people standing outside he remembered clearly his teacher mentioned a button which enabled him to speak with those outside only if he could find it.
”Hello can you hear me fellow Daoist, ah sorry about that my ship's speaker had a small malfunction as such I was unable to reply you.”
At that many relaxed except for the gate guardsman and Sir Emerick who spoke, ”Fellow Daoist if I may inquire about what is your intention for visiting the Capital City of Kitopia Empire.”
Ryuu, ”Fellow Daoist my Master has send me on a journey for in order to gain experience as such I am moving from place to place adventuring.”
Sir Emerick judged from the voice of the speaker to be very young, young enough to be a teenager.
Sir Emerick: ”Well then fellow Daoist please follow me with your ship I will be take you to the docking area.”
Ryuu happily followed him to the dockyard where he landed the ship on a specific area, he saw plenty of ships there but none coming anywhere near the one he had infact all of them looked archaic in comparison to him.
Sir Emerick: ”Fellow Daoist, please follow me to the Shipyard Master's place we have a few formalities to fulfil for you to keep your ship in the Dockyard.”
It took a few minutes for Ryuu to fulfil the formalities that is filling and signing a few forms then a tax of 10 High grade Spirit stones and he was ready.
Ryuu then suddenly asked Sir Emerick, ”Fellow Daoist is there any branch of Shangri-la here?”
Sir Emerick nodded in confirmation as he spoke, ”Of course there is one here fellow daoist, do you want to know the direction for the auction house.”
Ryuu spoke with smile, ”If it would not trouble fellow Daoist I would be grateful to you.”
Sir Emerick studied the youth near him he was polite as well as extremely courteous but he kept his face hidden with a hood, might be some sort of disfiguration which is making him from showing his face ah such was the fate of cultivator.
Meanwhile a person ran to a group of people who busy partying he gave them a piece of news which caused one of the people present there to break into a huge smile as he laughed out loud, ”Splendid truly splendid here slave take this spirit stones and enjoys yourself.”, as he casually tossed a couple of Low grade spirit stones to the person who grabbed them as if his life depended on it as he bowed countless times as he left.”
As he left the person send a glance at his guard who gave a small nod and slipped away from the party his instruction was simple kill the slave and bring me my money back, while the girls surrounding him praised him as he further melted into their soft hugs, ”Wow big brother is magnanimous he gave a peasant so much spirit stones just like that, ahhnnn~”, the woman finished with a moan as the above mentioned big brother took a dive into the woman's sweet buns.
