Chapter 178: A 'Temporary Identity' For The Slime??
WAAA!
"?!?!?"
The domineering aura immediately dissipated as the three guards wore astonished expressions on their faces.
Their captain was an Early Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, you know?!? He was not some common cabbage that just anybody could ignore his power as easily as that!
Nonetheless, they were only stunned for a second before pugnacious looks formed on them. They were ready to fight to the death if need be!
However, their outgoing patriotism would soon get shut down by the words of the mysterious man who had \'intruded\' upon their lands.
"I don\'t like your aura touching the people I care about, that is all," he began with a slight frown. "Don\'t release such an aura again, and we can have a civilized talk. I wish to know how to enter into this city after all.
And I would rather not do so by force That would really ruin the dates I had promised, you know?" He added in quick spurs with a nonchalant expression.
If these guards wouldn\'t allow him entry into this city, then he would simply have to force his way in!
Although, he would rather see that as an absolute last resort
Think about how dreary the dates he had planned would be! Not to mention that this kingdom was the territory of a certain silly blue-haired \'girl\' that he had met all those years ago. With all these things in mind, he would prefer to solve things peacefully.
"Uhmm" The leading guard began to speak with a slightly confused expression. \'Were these intruders not intruders, but simply lost visitors?\'
That certainly made things a lot easier for the usually staid leading guard, as his expression eased before a far more easygoing voice sounded out: "Well, you should have just said that to begin with!
Come right this way and we will get you folks set up with temporary identities!" A large friendly smile emerged on his face as he outstretched his arms, indicating for the three (two and one slime) to follow.
\'Well It wasn\'t like you really gave us a chance to explain ourselves\' Azmond thought to himself with an exasperated tone, as he followed behind the three guardsthree guards who now seemed to be as welcoming and forthgoing as could be!
"Do we trust these guys, Azmond?" Crystalline tugged on his white robe as he asked him a question with an ice cold face.
Upon observing the frosty look on her face, he couldn\'t help but let his thoughts begin to swirl around.
\'It seems like this is how she is around strangers\' He thought to himself with an amused smile.
He quite liked this colder and emotionless side of Crystalline as well. He wondered why she didn\'t show this side that much when around him? Was she shy or something?
"Just go along with them for now, My Love. We will make a romantic bloody escape if they attempt to get one over on us~" He whispered such words into her ears as he kept his voice under his breath.
"Mhmf~ f-fine~" she responded with an imperceptibly low moan as she looked at him with a slightly aggrieved look.
"Heh." He laughed a little before he, along with Boundless, Crystalline, and Emu followed behind the three friendly guards.
They continued on to the huge gates that separated them from the city of \'RiverBloom\'. The gates stretched upward for thousands of meters, it towered over the 7 of them like an insurmountable object that was never meant to be passed over by mere mortals.
However, there was something odd about such a colossal wall, why was it so big?
It was almost like the rulers of RiverBloom appeared to be aiming to keep out more than just humans
"We will just need you to sign out on a few forms that will allow you to gain a temporary identity, it should last you long enough until you\'re able to gain an identity of your own!" The lead guard spoke with a wide smile as he turned toward a normal sized door at a particular section of the enormous gate walls.
The door looked analogous to that of the entranceway for an ant when lined up next to the excessively big walls
"After you," he said as he opened the door with a welcoming smile.
"Thank you." An indifferent voice escaped Azmond\'s mouth as he entered into the space that lay beyond the door.
Boundless and Crystalline followed not long after with neutral expressions. They quickly latched onto Azmond as they opted to let him decide everything for them.
"... Hmm?" He put on an entertained face as felt the two beauties cling to him, not to mention that he quite enjoyed the softness pressing up against him.
The three guards noticed Crystalline conduct such a bold act, however they quickly ignored it before proceeding with the temporary identity procedures.
"Please sit right there, as we move forward with getting you two a temporary identity. And I assume you don\'t need an identity for the slime on top of your head?" He asked with a small chuckle, clearly treating it as a rhetorical question.
"Yes, I would."
However, his light joke was immediately swept away by the serious voice of Azmond.
"Sorry what? Could you please repeat what you said?" The guard captain asked with an awkward expression.
\'This ungodly looking man must surely be joking, right?\'
That\'s right, these two guards clearly noticed the absurd looks of the two \'visitors\', especially the looks of the man. However, they were professionals and wouldn\'t freak out about things like appearances.
Although they had never seen a person as good looking as Azmond, that didn\'t mean their principles would change.
