Shane finally made it here again, and having shown the pendant given to him by Luoqi to the guards, he was respectfully welcomed in by the knights.
However, along the way, Shane was constantly draped with bags both large and small, looking very much like a whipped man who had just finished shopping with his girlfriend. He received odd looks from many knights and civil servants who passed by.
On the contrary, the gorgeously dressed nobles whispered to each other upon seeing Shane.
"Is that man possibly...?"
"Ah, that's right, it's him..."
Conversations like these occasionally popped up among the nobles, letting others know they had recognized Shane.
Of course, once they recognized him, some looked quite hostile, and some even seemed like they wanted to intercept Shane.
