"Does Sakuya really have a pleasant smell?" Sitting on the back of the Warcraft Black Tiger, Sakuya looked up at Bexia and asked, ever since last night, she had been asking this question. This made Bexia very annoyed, and he regretted mentioning this in the first place.
In the end, Bexia had to say some weird words to end the topic. He didn't know what Sakuya was thinking, but she actually laughed happily after hearing Bexia's words, as if she thought Bexia would like her even more because of this.
After two tiresome days of rushing, Bexia finally saw the Allied City. The massive defense walls stretched endlessly, and the huge silhouette resembled a lingering behemoth. The land outside the Allied City even had a dark red color, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air, as if a large-scale battle had just taken place.
"Halt! Show us your identification!" The guards suddenly stopped Bexia and Sakuya. Their gaze focused mainly on Sakuya, as the combination of their silver and black hair was quite unusual. It was similar to many half-demon humans, and half-demon humans were not allowed into the city. After all, they were very hard to control. Who knew when they would release their demonic energy? In the past, there had been many troubles caused by these incidents, so an order was issued to prohibit half-demon humans from entering the city.
Showing identification was the best thing in this situation. Whether it was the emblem of the city or the Adventurer Guild, the emblem of the Elementalists Guild, or any other guild's identification, it was impossible for a half-demon to have it. As long as they could present identification, suspicions could be ruled out.
"Oh!" Bexia nodded. However, he suddenly remembered that his Adventurer Guild emblem was inside the original ring, which had been destroyed in the vortex of space. He had no way to show his identification now.
"Um! I lost my Adventurer Guild emblem!" Bexia looked embarrassedly at Sakuya and asked, "Sakuya, do you have any identification?"
"Big brother, I don't have any either!" Sakuya had no idea what identification was. This was her first time in the Allied City.
"Without identification, it means you are half-demon humans. Arrest them!"
"What are you going to do to us?" Bexia looked at the surrounding guards. After all, this place was under Ophelia's jurisdiction, and he didn't want to cause trouble. He also didn't feel that he could handle it. Who knew how many legions were stationed in this city?
"Don't you know that one of the city's prohibitions is that half-demon humans are not allowed inside? But don't worry, we won't do anything to you. We'll just send you to the nearby town where half-demon humans gather!" At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in military officer uniform approached. He glanced at Bexia and Sakuya and said calmly.
"But I really just lost my Adventurer Guild emblem. Can you make an exception? I can immediately go to the Adventurer Guild to get a new one!" Bexia thought that the other party's attitude seemed reasonable, so he tried explaining.
"I'm sorry, but without identification, you cannot enter the city. Young man, I don't know if what you are saying is true, but the order is clear. I won't violate the prohibition. If you have indeed lost it, then go to the nearby town to get a new one," the middle-aged officer shook his head.
"Um..." Bexia scratched his head and suddenly noticed the emblem on the middle-aged man's chest. It was the symbol of the Asman Kingdom. Bexia recalled that he seemed to be a guard knight of Ophelia. This should be able to prove his identity!
"I don't know if this can prove my identity!" Bexia took out the golden knight emblem that Ophelia had given her.
"Huh?! This is... Princess's Guardian Knight medal!" The middle-aged officer was slightly surprised and then looked at Bexia with a different look in his eyes. It was naturally impossible for this thing to be a fake. You see, where is this place? If the forgery is discovered, the consequences...
"So it's Sir Knight. I was just being disrespectful!" The middle-aged man waved his hand at the guards surrounding Bexia, gesturing for them to step back.
"I came from Asman to look for my sister Ophelia. Do you know where she is?" Bexia asked.
"Princess is currently out exterminating demons and will be back after some time. If Sir Knight has urgent matters with the princess, I can report it to her."
"There is no need to disturb my sister Ophelia. I will wait for her to come back and find her later!" Bexia thought for a moment. It should be a pleasant surprise for Ophelia. She then said to the middle-aged officer, "Please don't tell my sister Ophelia about my arrival. I want to give her a surprise!"
"No problem. May I know Sir Knight's name?"
"Just call me Bexia."
"Bexia... Could it be that you are Lord Bor's disciple?" The middle-aged officer looked at Bexia in astonishment. He didn't expect that the girl he thought was a half-demon would turn out to be Bor's disciple. No wonder she wasn't called Princess. She had this kind of identity.
"Sorry for the rudeness earlier. My name is Noko, one of the captains of the garrison guard."
"Nice to meet you, Captain Noko!" Bexia shook his hand and then smiled. "Please keep this a secret."
"Of course, if you encounter any problems in the city, Sir Bexia can come find me."
"Great! Thank you, Captain Noko!" Bexia naturally wouldn't refuse Noko's offer of goodwill.
"Now, we can enter the city, right?"
"Indeed, please!" Noko stepped aside, and the guards behind him also cleared a path.
"Let's go, Sakiya."
"Do we need to report to the higher-ups, sir?" Noko's adjutant asked softly.
"No need. Princess will handle everything!" Watching Bexia's figure fade into the distance, Noko muttered to himself, "Why would Lord Bor's disciple come at a time like this? What is she planning?"
Bexia didn't know that she had unintentionally raised suspicions by coming to the Dark Border. But she wasn't thinking about that right now. Accompanied by Sakiya, she found a temporary lodging in an inn and prepared to wait for Ophelia's return.
"Brother, the Ophelia sister you mentioned is actually a princess! That's so amazing!!"
"Hehe! When Ophelia sister comes back, I'll introduce you to her, and she'll definitely like you!" A fragrant little loli, Ophelia would surely be delighted.
Night fell, and Bexia lay in bed, staring at the ceiling absentmindedly. Suddenly, a loud boom resounded, and he glanced out the window. There was a huge blaze outside the city walls.
"Boom Boom Boom!" The ground trembled.
"What's happening?" Bexia furrowed his brow. At this moment, Sakiya was also awakened by the noise, rubbing her eyes and looking at Bexia perplexed, asking, "Brother, why is it so noisy?"
"No problem!"
"Boom rumble rumble!" Just as Bexia finished speaking, he felt the ground of the entire room tremble for a moment.
"It sounds like the sound of a magic cannon..." Sakuya heard the roar and it seemed similar to the sound of a magic cannon she had heard before.
"Don't worry, go to sleep!"
"I'm scared..." Sakuya looked into Bexia's eyes.
"... Can I sleep with brother?"
"Sure!" Bexia readily agreed and slipped into Sakuya's blanket. This was really a fragrant loli! It was very comfortable to hold her. If it wasn't for the irresistible fragrance, Bexia would be too lazy to sleep separately.
