Book 7: Chapter 19
The cities in the desert are somewhat different to our cities. If Rosvenor Empire’s buildings are new models made by piling up concrete then the cities in the desert would obviously be made from piling up yellow sand. All of the buildings looked like they were covered in a layer of sand. Even the city walls carried the smell of sand on it. We stood atop the sand dune off in the distance and looked at the city far off in the distance. That’s the first city of the five nations, Karnashun. Karnashun is located furthest north, more accurately the area furthest north that has people residing there. The city is the earliest city the Rosvenor Empire came to and also the most convenient for the empire to travel to, thereby also becoming the richest city among the five nations of the desert.
It’s morning right now. There are people coming and going from the city in the desert. Everyone wore scarfs and linen capes they wrapped themselves up with similar to us right now. It looks like that’s what the residents of the desert wear. Lorana and I looked at the groups of people as we rode atop our horses. She pointed to them and said: “See that, your majesty? Those people are not locals.”
“Why not?”
“The sand under the feet of locals of the desert can’t possibly be distributed like that. That proves that they rode horses here and are definitely from the north.”
Big sis and I both have enhanced senses as elves. I noticed that there was no sand on their heels. There was only sand on the front of their shoes which was sand blown onto their shoes. I nodded and replied: “It looks like this sort of metal is attracting people here non-stop.”
“What do you want to do then, your majesty? Send an envoy in and then ask Karashun’s master to provide us with sufficient support?”
Luna looked at me and then said: “I think that things would become much convenient if such a group could receive official support.”
I thought about it for a bit and then responded: “Switch out my cape with the insignia of the royal family on it, leave the Earth Dragons outside the city, bring in some materials and ammunition, and try not to attract attention. We’re mercenaries that come and go, understood? Oh, right, leave most of our people behind to stay outside the city entrance. Everyone else come in with me so that we can support each other from the inside and outside.”
“Your majesty?”
