190 Sword City (2/2)

”Tell me your name and attack me with your sword.”

Yale took out a normal sword.

”My name is Liye.”

Yale wasn't common enough for being used without risks, especially when the Larken Clan were related to the creation of the city. However, Liye was an extremely common name in ancient times, and that was the reason why Yale's past life chose that name.

Although the use of that name diminished, it was still a rather common name, so Yale decided to choose it to his fake identity.

Just after speaking, Yale attacked the guard using all his ability with the sword and after the crash ended the guard smiled because he sensed Yale's prowess with the sword.

”Very good! Apprentice Rank and expert stage, you have potential. Is this little girl going with you?”

The guard looked towards Wyba while asking; such a young girl couldn't be traveling alone.

”Yes, she is my little sister, her name is Wyba. She is just five years old, so she hasn't reached yet any stage with the sword.”

Yale didn't fear for Wyba's identity, because no one would think that a wolf cub could turn into a little girl.

For entering the city, if someone at the Apprentice Rank hadn't reached even the apprentice stage in Swordsmanship would be kicked off, and those at the novice rank wouldn't have permission to reside in any house inside the city, including inns, they could only live in the streets like beggars.

Those at the Mortal Rank have a better treatment as long they show that they had trained hard with the sword because most of them were still too young and the city also valued the potential. Moreover, those at the Mortal Rank almost always were together with someone stronger, so the guards treated them well.

However, the guard didn't dare to ask a five-year-old girl to show anything; he didn't believe that she would be able to do something, so he just issued another token for her.

The token was the same as Yale's token because they considered that being Yale's sister she would have some potential and someone to guide her.

Yale bowed to the guard and crossed the city gate while sighing in relief that Wyba had changed her form before because she wouldn't have obtained a token with her real level.

With the level of their token, they had a status of full citizens, they didn't have a paid house, but with the token, they had thirty days free in the inn, later, they will need to pay for it, but that wasn't expensive.

However, in Sword City, the only currency was Sword Points, which could be earned by battling in the arena or trading with other people.

With their tokens they had received hundred Sword Points each one, that wasn't a lot. However, that was still generous because the guard had given them more than the normal amount because they reminded to him in his young days when he went for first time to Sword City with her younger sister, although at that time his sister was ten and not five.

Most people of surrounding towns who were good with the sword tried to move to Sword City, it was more prosperous, and the hard-work was recompensed. Of course, they always tried to bring in as many family members they can and as the requirements for kids were lower than for adults, bringing the younger siblings was quite normal.

One night at the one room in the inn just needed two points and a room for two people three points. If the breakfast, lunch, and dinner were included, there were two extra points for each one. Thus, a normal pair of siblings would need seven points each day to survive after the thirty free days ended.

Of course, Yale had enough food with him, and he also had a lot of fasting pills, he wouldn't need to pay for those extra four Sword Points, so those two hundred Sword Points could last for a long time.
