Sword God in a World of Magic

Chapter 62

The two of them stopped before the absolutely gigantic, closed gates.

"Hey, John! Open up!" the scout shouted.

Shang heard some shuffling coming from the other side of the gate, and a small slit opened.

"Oh, I thought you wouldn't come today," the guard behind the door, John, said.

"I've met a traveler, and I showed him around. Took a bit longer than expected," the scout said, gesturing towards Shang.

The eyes behind the slit moved to Shang.

"That late?" he asked.

"Sorry," Shang said.

Shang heard a groan coming from behind the gate.

Creak!

A small door built into the gigantic gate opened, and a guard in bronze armor stepped outside.

Shang had seen several guards and soldiers from all the different cities and towns, and he had noticed that the lowest-ranked guards always had bronze-colored armor.

However, just because the color was the same didn't mean that all the sets of armor were identical.

The normal guards in the Central Wild had worn normal bronze. It was useful for battle, but it wasn't the greatest. However, these guards also hadn't been very powerful. They had been even weaker than Shang.

Meanwhile, the guards on Blizzard's Edge, who had also worn bronze armor, had been far more powerful. Even though their armor had been colored bronze, Shang had noticed that their armor felt way harder and more powerful.

And now, Shang was confronted with a third kind of bronze armor.

John's armor felt about equally as powerful as the silver armor the commander in Blizzard's Edge had worn.

On top of that, this guard gave Shang a feeling of mortal danger.

This normal guard was far more powerful than Shang.

Shang guessed that the guard was in the middle of the Second Realm, the General Stage. He was about as powerful as the dogs in the Farm Line.

"Fine!" John grumbled as he stepped out. "Put away your coat. Show your weapons, equipment, and valuables."

Then, John looked at the scout as he remembered something. "By the way, William, have you searched him?"

"No," William answered directly.

John frowned. "Why not?"

"Because it wouldn't have made a difference," William said. "If I searched him and I told you that everything's fine, you would've still searched him. So, why should I?"

"That's reckless!" John said with annoyance. "We need to check every unknown person. Otherwise, we'll put the city at risk!"

William slowly looked at Shang.

Then, he looked at John with a raised eyebrow.

They looked at each other for a while.

"Hmph," John grumbled as he averted his eyes. "Fine, fine! You, put your stuff to the side!"
