Entering Vienna was a matter for the day after, and Durin first returned to the Eternal Blaze Nest to change his attire.
He left Reed in Melinda's care and left the three pups and their stepmother Kelsey with the girls.
Durin and Lina headed north to enter Vienna.
Lina insisted on accompanying Durin, stating that Zhongnan was too chaotic, and that even a dragon traveling alone here might have its scales scraped off by those unafraid of death.
Durin was skeptical, but upon entering, the guard even dared to ask the two for money.
"How can they be so blind?"
This was Eleven's perplexity.
"I've never seen such a bizarre spirit of earning money without living to spend it."
This was Big Orange's sigh.
Durin sighed, turned his head to glance at the Earth Dragon in the nearby merchant caravan, who suddenly rejuvenated, its soul, previously tormented by time and capital, repaired, and its gaze significantly cleared.
