Chapter 64
The city’s gates were crowded with students in Academy uniforms, mercenaries who’d completed their raids of ruins, merchants looking to strike gold, and children playing around. It was a direct contrast to the surrounding cities, which were on lockdown to protect themselves from the oncoming sandstorm.

"We'll be on our way."
When Allen looked back, those who he’d become familiar with over the last few days were already turning around.
"Leaving already? Why don't we go into the city together? I'd like to thank you for all your hard work…”
"We simply did our part."
Allen urged them several more times, but Alexius just shook his head with a calm smile.
"That's all right. There's no point in going to the city because we've already replenished all of our supplies in Kairan."
"Then take this at least, please." Allen reached out and gave him a small purse that he’d asked Inellia to prepare in advance.
