"An attempted assassination?!" a noble shouted in surprise.
There are no guards there. The three Rank Bih Kings are already there. If there is anyone who can pass through these kings' senses, what can normal guards do?
Guards are only for the mortals or noble young masters. The former has only another mortal guarding them. How can a commoner afford to hire an Elementalist as a guard? Their life is not even that valuable to be targeted by another Elementalist. The latter has strong Elementalists as their guards just like Master Yown to Van and Jhin.
There is one logic that made guards here scarce in this world or just for alarm. How could one hire someone stronger than them? These Elementalists have something more to do. Even if they are super-rich, they will just be ignored. The stronger Elementalist can just extort them underhandedly.
And If they can only hire someone weaker than them.... then what's the point?
