Chapter 1062: Wildflame’s information
Translator: TransN Editor: TransN After entering the city, the number of people suddenly increased.
Though there were still some people looking at them, it was only out of pure curiosity. Everyone seemed in a hurry and no one was wandering the streets without a purpose.
“Father, this…” Rohan said looking around in surprise.
“Yes.” He slightly nodded.
It was the first time that Guelz saw such a busy environment.
He had previously traveled to many cities in the Northern Kingdom, and the biggest impression those cities left him with was their prosperity—this was also a characteristic of the Northern Kingdom: having more prosperous lands and resources than the Southernmost Region allowed them to create extraordinary cities. Additionally, their only difference was that each of them was better than the previous ones. So, at first, he thought that the great chief’s King’s City would also be superior in this aspect. However, to his surprise, what first attracted his attention was not the flat and long black-stoned streets under the foot, nor the uniform layout of the houses, but the people here.
No matter how big the inner city was, or how magnificent the castle was, there would always be some stray people, beggars or Rats on the side of the streets. They were like a part of a city.
Nonetheless, while walking in the streets of Neverwinter, these kinds of scenes were nowhere to be found. The expressions on people’s faces were also completely different. Such high spirited expressions were rarely seen even among the newly promoted clans.
Guelz always thought that the Nothern Kingdom people were not much better than the Sand Nation people, who he actually considered as more resourceful due to their less advantageous environment. The Nothern Kingdom, with its abundance of resources, was indulging in overly comfortable life and thus, the courage and will of their people were inferior. If unifying the power of the clans had not been so hard, they could have broadened their place of living.
Yet, he was not so sure about that now.
This kind of pride and self-confidence which came from the heart, it could not be faked.
A city with such citizens, it would be best not to be their enemy even if they did not possess firearms.
“Father, are we going to search for Lorgar first or go to the castle to give the document?” Rohan’s impression was not that deep. He was more curious rather than surprised.
“Don’t be hasty, if the great chief arranges for us to stay in the Castle District, how are we going to verify his promise?” Guelz looked at him. “We definitely have to wait for few days and find out more about this city.
“But…”
“I already decided.” He interrupted him. “Hmm? What are those people doing?”
There was a big crowd around the square, making buzzing sounds and looking very lively.
Rohan followed his gaze and looked at that direction, “Maybe they are rushing to buy discount products from merchants?”
“Go and have a look,” Guelz said.
“Yes.”
The latter put on his hood, and with the advantage of his big height, he quickly squeezed into the crowd.
Looking at the back of his eldest son, Guelz could not help but sigh. In terms of physique, he was supposed to become the bravest warrior in the clan. However, fighting was not naturally appealing to him. Eventually, the one to become the pride of the Wildflame clan was Lorgar, who was anything but strong when she was born. It was for this reason that Princess Lorgar was considered by all clan members as the heir, while Rohan could not lift his head from all the pressure. Though they were brother and sister, they rarely had any conversations together. They were like concentric people.
Anyhow, the chief could not help but feel a bit disappointed.
Especially when Lorgar received everyone’s appraisal, Rohan still did not show any sign of protesting.
Mojins have a preference for the strong.
Even if one’s ability was not good, an unyielding will could still win the respect of others, which was much better than surrendering without even a fight.
That is why even after Lorgar had left, he was still hesitating about him taking over as chief.
Rohan had performed well in other aspects but a leader who is afraid of competition would slowly lose his advantage due to his constant hesitation.
