Bob continued walking, and the eastern path gradually widened. Eventually, he emerged from the forest and found himself facing a vast plain with a large city in the distance. This city was unlike any on Earth. It was surrounded by massive fortifications, with a gate in front guarded by a long line of carriages and people. Bob guessed that this planet was likely in a medieval era.
Bob joined the line of people and waited. He stood there for two hours. No one spoke, though the man in front of him kept muttering complaints about not having time to wait.
Bob finally reached a small gate where a guard stood. The guard was clad in armor and wielded a spear.
The guard stared at Bob for a moment before speaking. "Do you have any type of card, or do you need to register?" he asked, forcing a polite tone.
"Do you mean this?" Bob replied, pulling out the blue card he had taken from the elf using his Shadow Cloak.
