There was a nearby city not far from the Mountain and they all headed to that location. It was a different city from the one where they took their mission before. The city was fairly big but Lin Xiao could sense the high tension even from a distance away.
He could see that the guards were looking at them full of hostility as if they owed a thousand gold coins to them.
Lin Xiao was confused.
"We're mercenary from Sun Kingdom," Prince Lin Yan took his identification letter. He handed it to the guards who read the letter seriously. After a minute, they handed it back and nodded.
"You may go."
"Thank you." Prince Lin Yan smiled and slipped a coin when he took the letter back. The guard's expression didn't change but there was a faint glimmer in his eyes when he sensed the coins.
As the group entered the city, Lin Xiao asked, "Why do you do that?"
