BXBX NOVEL Chapter 913 - The Inner Kingdom: Haiba Village
Chapter 913
(Unedited)
…
Shin Jiao and his group have just arrived at the border of the inner kingdom. On the horizon, there is a line of tall black walls the height of around 40 meters which spans to the horizon. Atop the black walls are sparkling lights that would send light rays to the sky in intervals. From the height that they are currently flying, they could already see from the screen of the ship a fluctuation of mana energy up ahead of them.
"That is the Yin Yang energy field that protects the inner kingdom. No light or dark mage can pass through that space. Even flying beasts could not pass through there." Grand Magus Enosis said while looking at the barrier which is now visible in the naked eye.
"This is excellent, I did not expect to be able to see the actual shape and size of the Ying Yang energy field. This is truly an amazing flying carriage…" Grand Magus Enosis said with a smile.
"We should enter in that place… or we can also go in that direction until we reached another gate just like that one…" he said while pointing at a particular place.
When Shin Jiao saw the gate, he decided to just land on the nearby forest and then travel on foot to the gate.
"Well, I\'ll be going first… See you young ones later. Just follow the lead of the princess…" Mao Enosis said as he suddenly walks to the ship\'s airlock door and jumps out from there.
"Hey, wait! Grand Magus! Don\'t leave me here!" Gwendolyn cried out.
But upon seeing the figure has already disappeared among the clouds, she felt helpless and just sits back down on her seat.
The ship landed on a nearby forest and Shin Jiao takes out a large carriage with two Windfalls to pull it. At the same time, he pulls out a few other Windfalls.
Now they are a convoy as they travel through the road.
It did not take long before they reached an intersection and saw many other convoys and carriages going to the gate to the inner kingdom.
Inside the carriage, the princess began to explain the basic rules in the inner kingdom. Though she did not usually go out, she is taught and trained with regard to the world outside the palace. So she is a bit aware of the culture and the customs of most of the nobles in the inner kingdom.
As their convoy travels through the road they saw many other nobles, but their convoy has already gained too much attention from others on the road.
This is because they are all riding on Windfalls. Since Windfalls are not yet spread among the citizen of the kingdom of Xinglo, it is a rare thing to have more than two of them except in Central Town or in Main Arjing City where the manufacturing of those things are present.
So the people on the road upon seeing the caravan immediately relate them to a big noble family or a big merchant group.
Many greedy eyes are now staring at their caravan.
Then a steed of a silver armored soldier suddenly walks forward to the carriage.
The person on top of the steed slowly removes his helmet and flashes his handsome smile and blonde hair.
He looks at the window of the carriage and then extended his hand to knock on the door.
Knock! Knock!
The people who are talking inside suddenly went silent. The carriage is equipped with sound insolation so the voices of the people would not be heard that much outside. But with this knocking sound, the voices and giggles inside suddenly stopped.
Inside the carriage are Hua Xiao, Im Ao, and Gwendolyn Grav, while the people upfront are Shin Jiao, Xiamen Gong, Im Jae, and Yemei Yin.
When they heard the knocking they too turn their attention to the man in golden hair on his steed traveling next to the carriage.
They all showed a confused expression but dare not hinder this guy on what he wanted to do.
In fact, the group is a bit curious.
The man also turns his attention to the people riding the Windfalls who are looking at him.
But when he did this, his eyes saw the two beautiful women among the group. Upon seeing them, his expression immediately changes into one of shock and excitement.
He quickly rode to the side of Im Jae and Yemei Yin. Since recovering from her disfigured face, Yemei Yin has already exuded a beautiful aura and face. But she still prefers to hide from the rest of the world.
But now that she saw someone looking at her with a weird expression she feels a bit uncomfortable.
So by reflex, she suddenly vanished from her spot.
The man was taken aback as he did not expect that one of the beauties would suddenly vanish. However, since the other one is still here, he decided to focus his attention on Im Jae.
"Miss… I am Knight Hou Lanxou, from the Lanxou clan of the inner kingdom Zepa City. May I have this honor to know your beautiful name?" the blonde man asked with a polite gesture.
Although he is a bit excited and a bit frank, this person seems to show sincerity in his words. Im Jae feels a bit flustered as she did not expect that this guy would suddenly do this.
On the side, the invisible Yemei Yin suddenly chuckled, which annoyed Im Jae. The rest also tried to suppress their laughter upon seeing the blonde man and the awkward reaction of Im Jae.
Xiamen Gong who is a bit closer to the two suddenly walks to the side of the blonde man.
"My friend… I am Xiamen Gong, nice to meet you. My companion is a bit shy so she could not tell her name to you… Anyway, so seem to look like a great noble from the Lanxou clan… It is my honor to meet you."
Upon hearing Xiamen Gong, Hou Lanxou was a bit unhappy, but because of the kind gesture of Xiamen Gong, he just waves his hand and smiled.
He has been away from his home and really missed his family. On his travel back, he met a lot of people and fellow soldiers who are also coming back to their families. He missed his wives and upon seeing beautiful women and nice stuff, his heart could not contain his curiosity and wanted to talk to these people.
So when Xiamen Gong talked to him, though this guy is not a woman and seems to be more handsome than he is, he still feels good.
Meeting another friend would not be that bad after all.
The two began to talk to each other and Hou Lanxou introduces Xiamen Gong to his traveling companions.
Meanwhile, Shin Jiao on the other hand also decided to join the group and their discussion.
Since the women in Shin Jiao\'s group did not want to talk to them, they instead became friends with the men.
With the simple discussion, Shin Jiao learned that these soldiers came from another city in the outer world, a city near the desert, Xandor City.
The reason why a large number of soldiers were dispatched to that place is because of the growing threat from the horde of beasts in the desert.
The desert beasts are hard to handle than those in the forest. The reason for this is because of the hard carapace of the beasts and their poison.
For this reason, a large number of soldiers were conscripted in the inner kingdom and outer world to join forces and drive back the growing threat to the city.
And after a few months of the war, the soldiers are now able to come back to their families. However, a lot of them had died in that place and became food for the beats of the desert.
Shin Jiao and Xiamen Gong could tell that these soldiers are excited to return. Maybe it\'s because they have not been with their wives for many months, that\'s why these men look at Im Jae with desire in their eyes.
But they would not dare to force themselves. They are still in the outer world and in this world; their noble title would not give them immunity to any laws.
But of course, once they enter the inner kingdom, then that would be a different matter. In Shin Jiao\'s earpiece, Gwendolyn Grav is already warning him that these soldiers might act and target Im Jae once they enter the inner kingdom.
As nobles and at the same time soldiers of the kingdom, they might even throw their weights around and might forcefully take Im Jae away. Of course, Gwendolyn is not afraid of that, what she is afraid of is the news that would spread in the inner kingdom.
If they beat up a noble then it would really cause too much problem for them.
Gwendolyn knew that their group is only commoners in the eyes of the nobles. Plus they came from the Immortal Land which would be a great cause for their headache.. So she is reminding Shin Jiao to be careful and alert.
