Chapter 181: Eda's Surprise

Upon hearing Walter's report of what had happened, Pyke understood the situation and then said. "Well, that decision is the best one. I will find out from the butler Dillian if this young woman is really a friend of the young master. But for now, keep an eye on these two..."

The two talked some more when Pyke finally returned to the Dry City, while the other men who had come with him stayed to help on the city wall.

With that, in case something strange happened, they could more easily neutralize these situations!

Anyway, when Pyke was running back to the city, Abby and Eda were sitting on the stairs of that place, in front of the administrative building.

Several soldiers were on their outskirts, watching them closely, while the two gates were closed. The army soldiers were cautious, considering the danger that could be if there was an information leak.

"More than 40 Spiritual Generals, just to keep an eye on us!" Eda exclaimed in a low voice, just for her and Abby to hear.

"Hmm, I'm also surprised! I didn't think Minos' forces were doing so well." Abby replied with a smile on her face.

She was not angry at being stopped and even handcuffed in this place. These soldiers were probably only doing their job on orders from Minos himself. And she was happy to see that things were going well for her friend.

She and Minos had known each other since they were 6-years-old, so there was a particular affection she had for him, especially after everything that had happened with him.

And seeing that her friend got even more followers than the late General Albert, even without the support of large noble families in the region, made Abby proud of him.

She truly was happy to see this. Minos was someone who would have an average future but who was thrown over a precipice all of a sudden. But in the end, he managed to get out of that hole and was climbing to higher and higher positions!

'Where is he at?' She asked herself, looking up at the blue sky, which could be seen through the bars of one of the gates in that place.

...

Meanwhile, Pyke had already returned to the Dry City.

The distance from the wall to the urban part of this city was not great, and with the cultivation of Pyke, after a few minutes of running, he was already in front of the local government mansion.

Right now, in Minos' office, the butler Dillian was talking to two people while eating some cookies.

"Ehh, we are going to build this building in the southern part of the city, where we have a region focused on the residential side. But it shouldn't be too big, nor too small, 200 square meters of the area should work." The butler said, looking at one of the two in front of him.

"Hmm, well, I think that a service like this doesn't require a large useful area. This initial area should be useful until we reach the population of 400 thousand inhabitants." The man said, agreeing to Dillian's order.

"But, butler Dillian, how many floors should we build in the hos..." When the other person was asking a question, Pyke suddenly came running into the room.

This was serious business, and he could not act formally. If Abby were a friend of Minos, it would affect almost nothing in the daily life of this city, but if she were not, then it would have serious consequences.

Because of that, Pyke was eager to solve this!

"Butler Dillian, we have a situation at the eastern entrance gate of the wall!" Pyke said without elaborating about it.

Upon hearing this, Dillian frowned and then gestured to the two men who were talking to him. "We will finish talking about this at another time."

"OK." The two nodded in agreement, walking out of the office without delay.

After those two people left, Dillian finally asked Pyke. "What happened? Is it a Spiritual King?"

Pyke shook his head in disagreement and replied. "In fact, two women from the Miller family at levels 42 and 48 arrived at the wall a few minutes ago, and one of them claims to be a friend of the young master."

"Oh? Is her name Abby Miller by any chance?" Dillian asked after heaving a sigh of relief. If that was the case, then there was no big problem, which was best for everyone.

"That's right. She claims to be Abby Miller..." Pyke confirmed. He then began to describe Abby and Eda's appearance so that Dillian could verify their identities.

"Well, the last time I saw this Miller girl, she was only 9-years-old, so she must be very different. But from what you said, the level 48 woman is definitely Abby's bodyguard, Eda. So, there must be no mistakes. Bring them here. I want to receive them in person." Dillian finished with a wide smile on her face.

He liked the young Abby as a friend of Minos, as he knew the girl's past and personality very well. Hence, Dillian knew that Abby was good company and would not harm the young Stuart on purpose.

But it wasn't just that. After all, Dillian was a man... And as a man, he had his interests...

And due to the fact that he accompanied the young Minos on many occasions during the time of the Spiritual Academy, he had become quite used to that bodyguard of Abby, Eda...

The two had similar positions, close cultivation levels, and followed the pair of friends, Minos and Abby, for some time. With that, it was impossible for them not to get a little closer...

'Haha, I want to see how Eda will react to my new level of cultivation. Hahaha.' The middle-aged man laughed internally, warmed up as he saw Sergeant Pyke leaving Minos's office.

...

A few minutes passed, and finally, Sergeant Pyke appeared, coming from the west direction of that place where Abby and Eda were standing.

"Looks like it's been resolved…" Abby thought about it to herself, seeing Pyke's calm expression.

And it didn't take long for Pyke to arrive at the scene and give orders from the butler Dillian. "Take off their handcuffs. Butler Dillian has confirmed their identities and asked me to escort them into town."

"Oh?" Walter exclaimed, happy that it had ended well. Even if they were both enemies, and they had already surrendered, he was not very happy to have to 'deal' with beautiful women like them, especially like Abby. So, he was relieved by this outcome.

"Miss Abby, I'm sorry about this. It wasn't personal. Our team was just doing our regular work." Sergeant Walter personally came to release the handcuffs for the two, returning the pair's spatial rings and apologizing for what had happened.

After all, it was not uncommon for young nobles to act like owners of the world and try to target any people who got in the way, even if minimally. For this reason, Walter was apologizing in an attempt to lessen the chances of this happening.

Like Walter and company, low-skilled people had learned from an early age to bow their heads to high-natured individuals since they could never risk challenging them.

At least that was the case when there was no support to protect them...

"Hmm, I understand, don't worry about it."

After saying these words, Abby and Eda retrieved their belongings. They went straight to the Dry City, accompanied by Pyke and some soldiers.

And while they were riding that spiritual beast that they traveled on, the two of them finally understood why the wall was so high.

That was because there was really something incredible to hide in this place!

"Unbelievable! And to think that a city could change so much and so fast!" Eda said in a surprised voice. The difference between before and after Minos was not only in size but also in quality.

Eda could see that the buildings in this city were new and well-kept, the streets well planned, looking even like those that someone might see in capitals like the City of the Setting Sun.

The Dry City seemed to have 'life,' something Eda hadn't seen the last time she came here. And this was both in the absence of green, which brought a certain feeling of desolation, as well as the despondency that could be seen on people's faces.

But that was no longer seen here. There was green everywhere, with some colorful gardens and lots of trees in the streets. People seemed happy and content with what they had, with expressions that could easily indicate that things were going well here.

A people did not have to smile to show their joy. By just looking into someone's eyes, experienced people like Eda could easily understand someone's feelings!

Because of all this, she knew that these people she saw on the streets of the Cry City were even happier than those she had already seen, even in the City of the Setting Sun!

'What happened in this place?' She wondered as she looked from side to side, seeing the shops in the city, public services, and passers-by moving on those streets.
