Chapter 63 Entering The City
Bob Herrmann, the only son of Minister Claude Herrmann, was the information Sade obtained from Kelly using a portion of honey collected from the King's Great Basin.
Of course, part of it was also to comfort Kelly. Kelly lost her father at a very young age and was raised by her mother. Her mother had been supporting most of the family's expenses. So, although Kelly had not been wealthy since she was young, she was not poor either. At least she indulged in foods like honey and desserts almost once a year.
Looking at the sweet smile on Kelly's face after she ate the honey, Sade's heart was melting, and he rubbed Kelly's head.
Sade decided to go to the minister's house personally to see what kind of person the minister's son was. After all, Sade knew Philomena's character very well. Especially after the incident with Kelly's mother, Sade was even more concerned about Bob. If what Kelly's mother said was true, Sade definitely couldn't let Philomena fall into his hands!
His brain must be damaged, and his heart was broken to be able to do such an inhumane act to a woman, especially a mother who was still a child. He definitely couldn't let it go, especially since Philomena was like Sade's elder sister and teacher.
After bidding farewell to Kelly and her family, Sade headed straight for the Kingdom of Herlock and arrived at the gate outside the kingdom not long after. He saw groups of garrisons guarding outside the gate when he got closer. There were even giant machines placed at the entrance, a little similar but slightly different from the lithobolos in ancient times. There was nothing on it to provide a pulling force. Probably there were some magic circles carved on it. Sade could feel the presence of magic on it.
Sade was stopped by the garrisons as he was about to enter the city. The garrisons were considerably polite, not as rude as those in Sade's previous life, "Hello, please show me your entry permit."
"Entry permit?" Sade was confused. Did he need a permit to enter the city?
Sade saw a slightly chubby man in glorious clothes entering the city. The chubby man smiled, took out a blue stone card from his pocket, handed it to the garrison, and placed it on a huge stone platform. With a 'beep!' sound, the garrison immediately let him through.
Sade, who had transmigrated from the modern world, looked surprised observing such a smooth series of operations.
'Isn't this an identity identification card? Is there such manipulation in the World of Magic?' Sade was utterly amazed by the operations and said, "I don't have a permit. I've been doing some missions in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. The waves of Magic Beasts attacked me, and I lost my permit and my former companions..." Sade revealed a sad expression as he said it.
The garrison looked puzzled when he heard Sade's words and scanned Sade's clothes from top to bottom. An unknown purple mage robe made of animal skin, and the shoes and clothes he was wearing were newly made — especially that crimson-black wand, there was not a single gem inlaid on it. It was evident that he was a mage in distress.
The garrison thought of the frequent Magical Beast wave disasters around the Kingdom of Herlock in recent years and concluded that Sade was not lying. Especially when he saw the sadness on Sade's face, it made him even more certain that he was a pitiful person who the Magical Beast wave had persecuted.
The garrison did not make things difficult for Sade and even patted Sade to comfort him, "Don't be sad, Brother. No one expected the Magical Beast wave to happen so frequently in the past two years. You have my condolences."
"Thank you..." Facing the garrison's comforting words, Sade looked into his eyes to express his gratitude and asked, "But then, how can I enter the city without a permit?"
A smile appeared on the soldier's face after hearing Sade's question, and he pointed at a sentry box on the left of the gate, "You can use ten silver coins to get a permit there. I know you need it now, although the price may be unreasonable."
"Yes, I need it now." Sade nodded in agreement.
This was the first time he had such close contact with the human world after coming to this world. Frankly, Sade was surprised that he had to swipe a card to enter the city.
Sade eventually completed the permit application under the garrison's guidance. It was worth mentioning that when Sade applied for the permit, his act of directly taking out gold coins surprised the garrisons. After all, having ten silver coins, it's not the same thing as paying with one gold coin, knowing that the value of gold was far higher than silver.
Except for mithril, which had excellent magic conductivity, almost most metal products added gold to improve their quality! Therefore, Sade shocked the garrisons when he paid directly with gold coins.
"Who is this young master who pays directly with gold coins!"
"Exactly, I thought he was a wandering mage when I saw his clothes and didn't expect him to be so rich!"
Sade quickly crossed the city gate and entered the city amid the surrounding discussions. He didn't expect to attract so much attention just by paying gold coins. After all, these gold coins were all treasures that Prescott had given him.
His Interspatial Ring was also filled with a large pile of gold coins, various precious treasures, and all kinds of rare elemental materials from the Great Basin gifted by the King of Magical Beasts. The value of these goods was indeed unimaginable in human society! He wouldn't have done it if he had known.
"I have to be careful in the future. I can't expose these treasures to others as it's too dangerous." Sade warned himself as he slowly walked forward.
The scenery of Herlock City appeared before him along with a burst of light!
