Noel and the others stood in the middle of the desert, staring at the town in the distance. If their map was correct, the town was supposed to be the Ricoral City that Noel planned to visit.

Just like the previous town, it didn't have any city walls to avoid building up the heat inside. Noel could see a lot of people entering the city, making him wonder if there was an event or something.

"Since we have to visit the city…" Noel pondered for a moment. This problem had been causing him some headaches. On the one hand, he wanted to bring these two kids with him. On the other hand, if the authority asked for their ownership, he would be in trouble.

Of course, having asked like that was not really that common. But the fact that he was a foreigner would create some problems for their country if Noel managed to smuggle a few people out.

Previously, he indeed didn't think it through. So, he wondered what he should do.

"Master. Sandra and I will be fine. We'll be waiting for you here." Tristan came to him, understanding his worries.

Noel couldn't answer him immediately. After all, there was a chance that these two would run away, not because they didn't want to be his slaves or anything, but because they were chased by people or demons.

"It's not that I don't trust you. It's just…" Noel sighed.

"Are you afraid of demons or humans that might chase after them?" Dimitri asked.

"Yeah. I will probably enter this city by myself. I'm planning to gather some intelligence about some phenomena that might be related to what I'm searching for. If it's outside the city, we'll go there together. If it's not, then I'll tell you about my plan."

"Understood. I'll take care of the kids." Dimitri agreed with Noel's arrangement. Although it made him a bit uneasy, this was a necessary move.

Before leaving, Noel turned to Tristan. "I'll probably be gone for one or two days. You must not be slacking in runes. I'll test your knowledge when I'm back."

"Yes, Master. I won't disappoint you."

Noel waved his hand before heading to the city.

As soon as he reached the city, he noticed the difference between this one and the first city he visited.

This place was bustling with people even though it was located in the middle of the kingdom, where the condition was the most extreme.
