Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang walked on a road towards a big city in the middle of the day. The side of the road led into thick forests, which were filled with weaker beasts.

A couple of people had already passed him on his journey, but they didn't talk to him.

Shang had seen plenty of people riding on beasts. This seemed to be nothing unusual in the Spirit Spring Kingdom as even very weak merchants rode on beasts.

Eventually, Shang reached the gates of the city. The gates were made of wood, but Shang could tell that this wasn't normal wood. The wood the gates were made out of was probably as powerful as Commander Stage ore.

Several guards were checking the Space Rings of the people that wanted to enter the city, and quite a long queue had already formed.

Shang only stood at the end of the queue, not looking at anyone else.

The people around Shang threw careful glances at him.

For some reason, they didn't feel comfortable being near him.

However, they didn't want to be rude. So, they didn't comment.

Shang waited for several minutes in the queue until it was his turn.

"Space Rings," the woman on a large wolf ordered as she saw Shang.

The guards of this city were Spiriters, and they used their beasts to keep watch over everything.

Grrrr!

At that moment, the wolf the woman was riding on started to growl at Shang.

The Spiriter was quite surprised when she saw her beast's reaction and connected with it mentally.

Of course, the beasts weren't very smart, and they could only transmit primitive feelings toward their Spiriters.

Right now, the wolf was transmitting a feeling that identified Shang as an enemy.

The wolf wanted to kill Shang.

When the Spiriter felt these feelings come from her beast, her eyebrows furrowed, and she looked at Shang.

"What is your business here?" she asked with a chilly tone.

"I want to buy a map," Shang answered evenly.

The Spiriter's eyes narrowed. "What kind of map?"

"Just a general one of the Spirit Spring Kingdom," he said. "As you might have noticed, I'm not from here."

After Shang said these words, the Spiriter took a closer look at Shang.
