Caleb and Alice then decides to go to the entrance of the kingdom, and as they get closer they sees two guards standing at the entrance, one with a spear and the other one with a sword
"There's guards i don't thing we can go inside" Alice said
While the two are near the entrance the guards notices them but they remain standing just watching them get closer quietly until the moment they are at the entrance of the kingdom
"To get inside the Arnotalia kingdom show me your identity cards, travelers" the guard with a sword speaks
And when the two hears the identity card they immediately pauses as they don't have anything like that
The guards seeing their reaction realizes something so faces them seriously before opening his mouth to speak
"Are you two a Player?" The guard with a spear question with seriousness in his face
"They know about the Players? Could they actually be a person and not some character made from the tower" Caleb thought looking surprised and so does Alice whose totally shocked
"Yes we are Players" Caleb said
A moment of silence passes by as the guards did not speak and so does Caleb who is scared to provoke them accidentally
"Wait here Players as i will inform the general about this" The guard with a sword said before leaving them and going inside the kingdom with the intention of going into the barracks
Soon the guard reaches the barracks and then he goes to the main barracks where three floors is made and then he goes to the third floor where an office is built
The guard then knocks on the door before going inside and there a bulky man sitting in a chair doing some paperwork looks into the guard waiting for him to say something
"General, two Players is at the entrance should i let them in or not"
"Players? Let them in but lead them here first" the General said and so the guard follows the command and goes back at the entrance
Soon the guard got back at the entrance and seeing the silence he breaks it as he starts to tell what the general said
"You two will be allowed to go in but first you two will meet the general first"
"That's it?" Caleb asks but the guard didn't answered his question only guiding them to the barracks and soon they arrive at the barracks
Caleb seeing all the barracks full of knights training hard amazes him as each knight is skilled in swordsmanship
The guard then leads them to the general's office and standing outside the door and knocking on the door
The two then opens the door and seeing the bulky man they looked in shocked and scared as the man have scars all across his body signalling that the person in front of them has fought in countless battles
"Sit down you two" the General said with a serious tone
The two then follows the order and sat at the two empty chair
"You two have a unique auras" the General said with interest in his eyes
"You have the aura of supreme being" the General said pointing to Caleb
"While you have the aura of a protector" the general said now pointing to Alice
The two was puzzled by the General's word but he quickly tells them to not be confused as to why he's judging them
"Don't look so weird, i have an inborn skill that allows me to see ones aura and with that alone i know someones emotion and even their nature" the General explains
"But lets not waste any time and get straight to the point. Players we need your help in the upcoming monster stampede that is caused by a demon from the snow mountain to the north a few kilometers away but don't worry we will only need you to help us in protecting the kingdom" The General said hoping for the two to help
"We can help you but-" before Caleb can said more the General interrupted
"We will give a generous reward according to the contribution you give"
The room then went silent as Caleb and Alice starts to think whether they should accept or not and after a few moments they finally came into a decision
"We will help as much as we can" Caleb said
"But is there any place here that we can stay for a while as this is the first kingdom we have come across" Alice said and the General nodded
"There is a few inn here and my soldier can accompany both of you to it but before that here's something you will need" The General then handed them some coins
Caleb then politely accepted the coins before they leave as the General orders his soldier to lead the way to an inn
While walking to the inn Caleb decides to count the coins he got "15 bronze coins and 30 silver coins"
"What is the value of the coins here?" Caleb questioned the guard and after a few moments it starts to speak
"A single bronze coin is enough to pay for a room in a single night at a inn while a silver coin can buy you a weapon from a blacksmith but mostly low quality" The guard explains and soon they arrive at the inn so the guard then goes back to the entrance of the kingdom
Caleb and Alice seeing the lights and well constructed inn, they think that it's as good as the buildings in the Collos area
"This is amazing"
"Let's go inside as we might stay here for now"
The two then enters and the people inside stops eating as they see them having completely different clothes compared to the kingdom
"What's with all of this people" Caleb thought continuing to go at the front desk to pay a single room for the night
"Only one room" Caleb said to the receptionist
"That will one bronze coin" the receptionist said but looking like she wants to know something from Caleb and Alice
But after the receptionist gave the key to their room the two just left and goes to the room they are given not giving a chance for the receptionist to ask something
