Chapter 340 - Steam Punk City (1/2)

Before arriving at the city, Ray had sent a message to Slyvia and the others ahead of time that, saying that he would be coming back with a few extra guests. So at the gate, there were several knights who had come to greet them all wearing Redwing armour. It was specially coated in a bronze reddish tint, while the crest was displayed proudly on their shields or shoulder.

They were there to take care of not only the Villagers, but also the Black ring members as well.

”That's them!” Candy shouted. ”It's really them, they have the gear and everything.”

Many of the townsfolk were still sceptical if they were travelling with members of the Redwings or not. There had been news of imposters, and the group they were travelling with didn't look like any of the knights they had heard of before.

But now seeing the Knights at the front gate wearing the armour everyone had become so familiar with, they knew they were in the right place.

As everyone got off the carriage and walked past the guards, the knights saluted to both Jack and Martha.

”We welcome you back Masters.” The knights said.

However, what the villagers and even Lenny and the others found strange was the fact that no one seemed to be greeting Ray. This was because not many knew who Ray was. Even when the news was announced that Ray was king, nearly all of the nights couldn't remember what he looked like.

Therefore the knights at Avrion actually believed that the elders had put up a fake name, to distract anyone from finding their real leader Nes.

As they stepped into the city, the people started to look around.

Although the city hadn't been doing any trade, it had only stopped a short while ago. Right now, the city still seemed to be full of life.

The Townsfolk were then taken away by the guards to be washed and treated to a temporary housing place, until they got on their own to feat.

They could still do this for now, but soon they would run out of resources. The group waited until a vary large luxurious carriage appeared it was Red and black in the design and had the symbol of the red wings painted onto the door.

”It's a bit flashy, don't you think,” Martha said.

”I like it,” Ray replied. ”The colour red is nice.

Out from the carriage stepped out Slyvia who was dressed in a long red robe which was now the official Elder clothing.

”I'm sorry for greeting you like this, Ray.” She said. ”I didn't have time to get changed.” Her cheeks were nearly as red as the dress itself.

”Although she said she didn't have time to get dressed, I see her face has a fresh set of makeup on,” Bliss said quietly.

Martha gave Bliss a nudge.

”Be quiet, our lady has a thing for Ray, but he seems to be too dense to notice it. Sometimes watching the two of them is torture.”

”So someone has taken a liking to him have they?” Bliss said with hundreds of new thoughts running through her head.

The group got onto the carriage and sat down. It was spacey inside and had large, wide-open windows that allowed them to see outside.

That's when the group who had been their before noticed a lot of the city had changed since they had last arrived. Avrion academy was also now designed in a red trim style and now on the flag was the RedWings symbol.
