Katharina looked down on the now deceased male companions. She bust out crying. Those people must mean a lot to her you think. She hugged you whilst crying her lungs out apologising to the two men of being weak and unable to protect them. In her weeping voice she solemnly called out to her two dead brothers that where trying to protect her. It was my first time ever seeing and experiencing this firsthand so I don't know what to do in that moment. The only thing I thought of was hold her tightly, even though you can resurrect them but it seems like, to you, it could be considered taboo to revive the dead.
Several minutes past by the only thing you can hear is the weeping cries of a girl drowning the tranquil vibes of the forest. After regaining her composure after that mental breakdown from losing her two brothers. She apologized for that but I did not take it personally. I decided mentally to accompany her to learn more about this new era. We walked and chatted about the current world and what l learner was shocker but I'm summary, after the orthodox fraction defeated the demonic faction and the evil so celestial emperor, referring to me, the orthodox faction died out 5,000 years ago because of the heavenly oath which states that neither the orthodox factions know that the demonic factions and also the neutral factions cannot complete the erase one another from the world but since the orthodox factions erase all of the demonic factions and a celestial emperor which served as a balancer the heavenly out destroyed all orthodox history and the world was in a chaos for the past thousand years until a family reorder the world and ever since the disappearance of the orthodox faction,t he demonic faction and the celestial emperor the heavenly oath restricted the world's cultivation realm. Since I'm able to use all my power that must be false.
" Oi Katharina, where are we heading to anyways?"
" Sir Leon, we're going to a nearby town called Sacred Town due to it being at near proximity to the Royal Capital and it's abundance of resources, devotion to the church and other miscellaneous things that you don't need to worry about."
" What's the reason for you going to the Martial Arts Academy?"
The lively atmosphere instantly went eerily quiet after Leon's question.
" Aaa... You don't necessarily need to answer that question. I'm here touched a sensitive subject."
" No it's fine. My reason is because I want to be strong..."
Mentally whisper the word lies
" It seems like you'd have to tell me your reason, Katharina."
"....."
No words spoken for the next hour of walking. The silence was palpable you want to comfort Katharina but you feel like that's an invasion of a privacy and personal life. From a far away distance the silhouette of houses and the gates is seen. Two people are seen walking side by side, probably the guards or patrollers.
" Identification documents and the toll to enter this town."
Katharina shows one of the guards a tiny rectangular thingy, probably the identification document card.
" Oi boy, what about you? Where's your ID card?"
" I misplaced it somewhere around the forest."
" Well without your ID you cannot enter the city but we will allow you to pay your way through the city."
" Oh really?! Thanks!"
I proceed to pull two large platinum coins out of my spatial ring and presented it to the guards. A mix of emotions fell upon all three people, Katharina and the two guards, a look of confusion, perplexion and stupidity is shown. I tilt my head thinking that the entry fear that I gave them is too little.
"Aaaa...boy the entry fee is 3 silver."
" 3 silver? Soo cheap."
Whilst I'm pulling out the three silver coins from my spatial ring the tree of them looked at me in astonishment not because I have a spatial ring but I said that the entrance fee is too cheap. I handed over the three silver coins to the guards and I asked if we can enter the town. We proceed to enter the tongue with no issue whatsoever.
" First things first, we need to register you so that the issue with the guards won't happen again."
" Alright I like that plan Katharina."
" Thanks oh yeah. What the hell was that? Pulling out too large silver coins out of the blue you could have gotten us arrested?!"
" I was clueless of the entry fee thank you very much so I don't know how much was it."
" Fair enough but don't pull that stunt ever again because we will be charged for robbery, fraud and so many kinds of crime that I can't imagine."
" Why is that? It's just platinum coins nothing special?"
"Nothing special my ass! Platinum coins are reserved for nobility and royalty the upper class and the upper echelons of life so pulling out a platinum
coin is very concerning because we don't look like royalty we're not even royalty were just commoners."
" Noticed. So where do I get my identification documents from Katharina?"
" Well in actuality, there's many types of ID cards. You have the normal everyday use one, the guild card, of those who are guild members, adventurer card, which falls under the guild card, merchant card, for your everyday traveling merchant and royalty card, of nobility and royalty alike. And having this card help you avoid paying the entry fee of villages, towns, cities, capitals cities, kingdoms, dukedoms and continents alike."
" Damn ID's really are essential of travelling."
" You know you don't have to call me Katharina ALL the time. It's a mouthful of a name. You can call me Kathy if you want."
" Kathy? What a nickname. Love it though. Sure I'll call you Kathy."
" The Adventurer's Card has more advantages than all the other cards, excluding the Royalty Card."
" So let's go to the Adventurer's guild I guess?"
" Bingo."
I proceed to follow Katharina to the Adventurer's guild of my ID card along the way Katharina and l talked about random things. And one question led to another and eventually she ask me about who I really am.
" Who am I? The most generic response would be ' Hey I'm Leon Wolf ' but no I'm not like that. Greetings Fair Lady Katharina Fischer I'm Leonard Wolfheart but you can call me Leon. It's a pleasure meeting you."
Katharina giggled at my outlandish introduction to myself I can even see a tear droplet. And to further mock me by repeating it in a pompous manner. We arrived at the Adventurer's guild, not as glamorous as I imagine but it will do. We opened the two giant rectangular doors and walked in it was a very noisy place people shouting at one another, people arguing that one another or people just chatting with each other.
We arrived at the receptionist table and we will warmly created but an exceptionist named Candice which the name was engraved on her name tag which was plasted around her right chest. She acts on weather or not we're here to register as an adventurer or we have already registered in here to do a request due to us being new faces around the town. Katharina answered that she's here to register me to become an adventurer and also the applications for an ID card. The guild receptionist smile wormley until the suate a moment so that she can fetch the documents for me to sign all the necessary information about myself
The receptionist named Candice returned quickly with a tray and on top of that trade was a piece of paper a goblet with water in it and a tiny dagger. Purely perplex at the weirdness of having a goblet filled with water and they dagger I asked her what is the use of those two and the receptionist Candice answered that the use of the two is to draw out blood and put your drawn blood into the goblet could register the you into the guild card and prevent anyone from grabbing your own identity or as she called it identity fraud.
I filled in all the necessary information like my name Leon Wolf, my age which I wrote sixteen, I cannot truly reveal my real age because my real age is at the least around 100,000 years old and I will be weird for someone who started to register, place of previously residents, which I wrote the Emerald Continent and all the others that you wish not to hear or read. After that lengthy registration. Candice that receptionist told me to break my finger with the dagger and drop some blood on both the goblets and the paper where I wrote everything else. I did what she sad and magically the piece of paper transformed into a small rectangular card, I was quite astonished.
After this we left the adventurous guild and Katharina took my to a place called an Inn. We ate food which does all paid by her and we booked the place where we can sleep for tonight. Night time soon arrived and it was time for us to go to bed we share the same Inn room but sleep in different beds. Early morning we left the Inn and decided to leave the town and head to words the Royal Capital. We booked a carriage ride and it will take us half a day to reach the Royal Capital.
