Chapter 611 Light "Do we go find another caravan now?" Shen Jing asked.
"No, I want to stay here a day or two, see if there is any information I can find to heal my wound," Alex said.
"Won't it be better to just go to the capital and see if the— actually, never mind. Go do what you want to," Shen Jing said. "I will return in a day or two."
"Where are you going?" Alex asked curiously.
"Just to look upon someone, to see if they need my help. Then I will go find the place I've been meaning to for two days now," Shen Jing said.
"Okay, I will wait for you," Alex said. Shen Jing nodded and flew up into the air. Before Alex could even realize it, he vanished.
"Damn, must be fun being a Saint realm cultivator. I wish I could reach there quickly too," Alex thought to himself.
Suddenly, something jumped on his left shoulder, and even without looking at it, Alex pet the cat.
"Did you have fun?" he asked.
"Had fun," Pearl answered. Alex sent out his spiritual sense and saw that the little girl was sad as she left Pearl, but that was life.
"Do you feel sad?" Alex asked.
"No," Pearl replied.
"Why?" Alex asked.
"Pearl has brother," Pearl answered.
"Alright, you rascal. You don't need to make me feel good," Alex said and grabbed Pearl before putting him into his robes.
"Ah right, if someone talks to you from now on, don't speak in human language, okay? Just meow at them," Alex told Pearl before walking into the city.
While Silverleaf city didn't have walls, it still had gates and guards protecting it from all sides.
The guards wore normal clothes, greenish-brown robes to be precise, and didn't stand out amongst the many people walking in and out of the city.
Alex got into the line as well, to soon enter the city. As he looked around, he suddenly heard gasps and exclamations from the gates.
When he turned around, he saw the two guards at the gate bowing toward two people that had just walked out.
One of them was a girl around the age of 26, and another a man of similar age. They were likely older folks, but they looked pretty young.
The woman had long flowing hair and wore a robe of green, no blue color. Wait, that wasn't right? The color was actually red.
No, that too was wrong. The color was purple.
As if they were a bunch of illusions stacked on top of each other, the colors of the robe the girl wore changed depending on how she turned. Not only that, each part of her robe was of different color depending on how the light hit her robes.
Basically, it was a robe of many colors, and thus, had no color of its own. On the left chest of the robe, there was an embroidery in white, that was perfectly visible no matter what color the robe seemed to be in.
The embroidery said 'Light'.
The man was the same. He wore a similarly colorful and yet colorless robe, with an embroidery of the word 'Light' on the left chest of the robe.
"Ah!" Alex thought as he realized who these people were. They were the Lightsworns, the ones that vowed to protect the empire and the royal family.
"Oh, it's the Lightsworns."
"Really? This is my first time seeing them."
"I don't doubt it. They never really come to this section of the empire unless they are needed."
"I wonder what has happened here for them to come."
