From MC's perspective:
East City,
"Brother, where are you going?" The stoic-faced wizard asked.
Hearing that I sneered inwardly. I knew these guys were hiding something.
"My companions are on the way. So I'm going to wait for them," I said to them with a smile on his face.
Hearing that three of them looked at each other.
"Brother, don't worry. You can enter the city with us. We have made friends with a few city guards. They won't trouble us," The stoic face wizard said.
"Bribe!"
"Why haven't I thought of this before?"I said in my heart.
If I offer mana stones, then the City Guard won't mind.
"Alright, I'll come with you," I said to them.
Hearing that 3 of their faces lit up with joy. They intentionally met with one of the city guards who were familiar with them.
Instead of showing I.D., three of them offered mana stones. Seeing that I followed the line to offer the mana stones.
