296 A Good Female Friend (1/2)

”Halt, tell us your identity!”

Outside Golden Flash City, Wang Lu and his teammates were stopped by the guards.

Two lightly armored guards crisscrossed their spears in front of the carriage. Although in front of the Nightmare steeds, the two ordinary-people-turned-guards’ blockade was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, nevertheless, the guards’ posture was very firm.

”Hm, they haven’t lost their past spirit.” Within the carriage, Aya secretly nodded.

The people of the Knight King should inherit the spirit of chivalry and humility without feeling inferior; even when faced with opponents that were far above them, they would maintain their posture. Now it seemed like although the Knight’s Kingdom has perished, the spirit of chivalry still lived on.

”What a joke.”

For this reasoning, Wang Lu just shook his head and went out to greet the guards.

”Sirs, we are visiting scholars from the Eastern Continent.” Wang Lu perfectly said in the common language of Western Continent, ”Definitely not suspicious people.”

The guards didn’t lower their vigilance. ”Is there any document to prove it?”

Like many countries in the Nine Regions, commoner needed to prove their identity when traveling. There were similar rules in some countries in Western Continent. Especially in countries under the rule of Holy Light Religion, they must be doubly wary of the heretics from Nine Regions. This was the responsibility of the guards; even if Wang Lu and the others have extraordinary skill, there was no exception.

Wang Lu smiled. ”Proof of identity? Of course.”

With that, Wang Lu reached out for the cloth sack on his waist, which produced the metallic sound of many coins against each other.

”Please check this carefully, the document is absolutely reliable.”

”Hey!” Aya called out in surprise. ”Are you trying to bribe them? Don’t joke here okay, they couldn’t possibly…”

Before she could continue, she saw the two guards lightly smile and said, ”We understand, you guys are really not suspicious people.”

Then they no longer blocked the carriage, which freely marched into Golden Flash City.

After boarding the carriage, Wang Lu turned to look at the sluggish face of Aya. ”Hahaha, it seems like some spirits are even more well-established than the spirit of chivalry!”

Aya said with a slightly unwilling tone, ”T-This is only an individual phenomenon! I believe my people believe in the spirit of chivalry!”

Wang Lu shrugged. ”Mm, you also still believe in love and Santa Claus right?”

”This—although I don’t know what Santa Claus is, what’s wrong in believing in love?”

Wang Lu let out a laugh and then turned to look at Liu Li. ”Junior Sister, tell her.”

While eating the flower cake, Liu Li said, ”Senior Brother taught me that, love would come and go real quick, but only rolled pork that is eternal.”

”You! What dastardly things have you taught her!”

During their dispute, the carriage has entered the city center. There were many inns in the city, but they somewhat couldn’t meet the demand of the influx of large amounts of tourists. Most of them were already fully booked. However, considering the team’s sensitive identity, Wang Lu steered the carriage straight towards an inn in a secluded location based on Aya’s direction.

”Ah, it has been so long, but this inn is still operating.” When the carriage approached the inn, Aya lightly sighed. ”It’s really bringing me memories. A long time ago, I briefly lived here during my Golden Flash City inspection. Although on the front this inn is inconspicuous, and usually few people would come, but this is actually run by an aristocratic family. The environment is quite comfortable, and the service is also very intimate.”

However, once they came out of the carriage, Aya was surprised to find that there were already a lot of people there. Most of them were dressed luxuriously, and a lot of them showed the flavor of strong professions.

”Sorry, the inn is already full so we can’t entertain more people.”

At the entrance, a thirteen to fourteen years old nimble and resourceful girl, with face filled with apology, turned down the guests.

”Are you blind? Our master is the only son of the Huge Rock City’s secretary, how dare you disrespect us!”

”Oh, so that’s how it is. Then I will explain this to the guests that just checked in, so that they will yield the room for you guys. Would that be okay?”

”Humph, you know what’s good for you!”
