Chapter 611 Light

"Do we go find another caravan now?" Shen Jing asked.

"No, I want to stay here a day or two, see if there is any information I can find to heal my wound," Alex said.

"Won't it be better to just go to the capital and see if the— actually, never mind. Go do what you want to," Shen Jing said. "I will return in a day or two."

"Where are you going?" Alex asked curiously.

"Just to look upon someone, to see if they need my help. Then I will go find the place I've been meaning to for two days now," Shen Jing said.

"Okay, I will wait for you," Alex said. Shen Jing nodded and flew up into the air. Before Alex could even realize it, he vanished.

"Damn, must be fun being a Saint realm cultivator. I wish I could reach there quickly too," Alex thought to himself.

Suddenly, something jumped on his left shoulder, and even without looking at it, Alex pet the cat.

"Did you have fun?" he asked.

"Had fun," Pearl answered. Alex sent out his spiritual sense and saw that the little girl was sad as she left Pearl, but that was life.

"Do you feel sad?" Alex asked.

"No," Pearl replied.

"Why?" Alex asked.

"Pearl has brother," Pearl answered.

"Alright, you rascal. You don't need to make me feel good," Alex said and grabbed Pearl before putting him into his robes.

"Ah right, if someone talks to you from now on, don't speak in human language, okay? Just meow at them," Alex told Pearl before walking into the city.

While Silverleaf city didn't have walls, it still had gates and guards protecting it from all sides.

The guards wore normal clothes, greenish-brown robes to be precise, and didn't stand out amongst the many people walking in and out of the city.

Alex got into the line as well, to soon enter the city. As he looked around, he suddenly heard gasps and exclamations from the gates.

When he turned around, he saw the two guards at the gate bowing toward two people that had just walked out.

One of them was a girl around the age of 26, and another a man of similar age. They were likely older folks, but they looked pretty young.

The woman had long flowing hair and wore a robe of green, no blue color. Wait, that wasn't right? The color was actually red.

No, that too was wrong. The color was purple.

As if they were a bunch of illusions stacked on top of each other, the colors of the robe the girl wore changed depending on how she turned. Not only that, each part of her robe was of different color depending on how the light hit her robes.

Basically, it was a robe of many colors, and thus, had no color of its own. On the left chest of the robe, there was an embroidery in white, that was perfectly visible no matter what color the robe seemed to be in.

The embroidery said 'Light'.

The man was the same. He wore a similarly colorful and yet colorless robe, with an embroidery of the word 'Light' on the left chest of the robe.

"Ah!" Alex thought as he realized who these people were. They were the Lightsworns, the ones that vowed to protect the empire and the royal family.

"Oh, it's the Lightsworns."

"Really? This is my first time seeing them."

"I don't doubt it. They never really come to this section of the empire unless they are needed."

"I wonder what has happened here for them to come."

Many of the people around Alex started speaking in a hushed tone. They all had the same thoughts and questions Alex did.

The girl Lightsworn walked forward and let them know why they were there.

"The newly arrived caravan, did you guys get attacked by bandits?" she asked.

The group of people that had come with Alex looked at each other for confirmation and then shook their heads.

"There were no bandits," one of them shouted.

The girl frowned. "Are you sure?" she asked.

"Yes," the same man spoke. The girl waited for someone to contradict him, but when they didn't, she sighed. It seemed he wasn't lying.

"What do we do now, sister?" the man asked from the side.

"We still have to go find them. It's an order after all," the girl said.

"Sigh, why do we have to be the ones to deal with such weak bandits," the man complained.

"I don't think they are weak. From the reports, they are likely to have True Lords amongst them," the girl said.

"You trust those reports? They came from such weak people. They were likely exaggerating," the man said.

"Still, it's better to be cautious. Let's go check it all out," she said and flew off. The man shook his head and flew off behind her.

As they flew, their clothes once again changed from red to purple to blue to cyan to green to yellow all the way back until they reached red again.

"That's what I'm going to wear one day, aren't I? I wonder how they make them," Alex wondered.

He looked at the two of them fly away and wondered if it was a good idea to hide the information he had.

Certainly, telling them would've ended their work at once, but then that would open a can of worms he wasn't willing to deal with.

How many were there? How did you kill them? How are you alive? How does not a single one of your traveling friends know about this event?

Questions like that would bring more suspicions toward him. So much so that they might think of him to be spreading false information on purpose.

He didn't want that.

The line moved forward, and Alex got to enter with his Alchemist badge. The guards were quite respectable when they saw that.

Alex was really happy with how useful this badge was. Paying a fee in every single town or city he visited would have been troublesome.

Alex wanted to visit the library and the Alchemists Guild in this city. However, the first place he went to was actually the restaurant.

While the restaurant in this town wasn't as fancy-looking as the three-factions restaurant, the food here was still great.

He had the most amazing meal that this restaurant made. He didn't even blink an eye when he paid 70 True Spirit stones for that food.

It was nourishing, and he needed that. After that, Alex was reminded of something by the food, so he went around the city, finding this one place.

The charity for the players.

Once again, Alex decided to go in and explain to the players that were there what was going on.

Similar to last time, he went to help, this time simply slipping through instead of asking for permission.

He told the players what they needed to do, he gave them hope, and once enough people were motivated to change their life, he walked out.

"Here, sister, some spirit stones," Alex said as he handed her a bunch and left.

The girl's face stared in awe when she saw the 60 True Spirit stones fall on her hands just like that.
