The man intelligently said, "Oh my, maybe you heard it wrong, I said 1000 gold coins per person!"
He had a sinister look on his face.
Bandis and Zormugand were already pissed off because of this.
"But you said 100 initially..."
The man immediately decided and said, "I have witnessess!"
"Huh? Witness?" Bandis spoke immediately.
The man cunningly looked at the people standing there and immediately said, "My dear friends, hadn't I mentioned these Elven people that I will be taking 1000 gold each from them if they wanted to enter the city?"
Everyone of them looked at each other as they didn't know as to whether agree to this lie or not. But the man had cunningly sent one of his men and mixed them with the crowd.
That man responded to his call and said, "Yes yes we all heard it! You told 1000 gold coins!!!"
Others didn't have a choice and folled him. Now all of them were saying the same thing.
"Pay 3000 coins or get out of the way!", they kept on repeating the same words again and again which hurt Rex a lot.
He was hurt not because they asked for additional Gold coins, it was because of the discrimination against elves And on top of that the people were selfish so he wondered that there might be many people like them in the kingdom who would corrupt everyday!
"Tsk, everything has become corrupted... what is father doing?", he murmered.
The man tried to listen as to what he said but failed to do so. However he thought of this as an opportunity and interpreted it to his own convenience.
"My dear friends! Did you just hear what he told?"
They definitely couldn't hear Rex's words due to their own shouting but they did see his lips move as if he murmured something.
The man immediately said, "He called our kingdom TRASH! On top of that he disrespected his majesty!!!"
All of them blindly believed what he said and immediately put blame on him. The man had a dark expression on his face and slowly walked towards Rex.
He slowly whispered in his ears, "Give me 10,000 gold coins each and I will consider this matter settled, or else you will never be able to enter the kingdom."
Rex clenched his fists tightly but controlled his anger thinking that they were his subjects and just hitting them wasn't the solution. But Bandis couldn't control himself anymore and immediately ran and punched the person.
'BAM'
"Ahhhh!!!!", he flew 10 metres and fell hurting his face badly which started to bleed.
"Bandis... what did you do..."
Bandis was completely angry due to which he had lost his composure. He immediately apologised to Rex for the act which he showed just now.
"I'm so sorry Master, I was just..."
Rex calmly said, "Anger is your enemy Bandis, don't do this again! Even in your human form you are too strong... do you understand?"
He bowed and replied with an 'YES'.
All three of them then started to walk towards the gate when the man kept on screaming.
"Aaahhhh!!! My hand!!! My stomach!!!!"
It caused a huge commotion which attracted the great DARYUN who had come to speculate the work. The cunning man had observed his presence and that was precisely why he acted as if he was about to die.
DARYUN rushes immediately while holding his long black spear.
"Wow, looks like Daryun is Level 85 already... he had reached Magic Saint realm....", Rex murmured.
Bandis and Zormugand heard this and they felt an unusual change in Rex's heart beat. Hence they immediately asked, "Master, do you know that human?"
Rex nodded his head and said, "Yes, he is like my uncle. No matter what happened never attack him!!!"
Both of them understood that they had to treat him well but Daryun immediately rushed to attack Rex.
"Huh?"
Bandis immediately blocked his attack.
"How dare an outsider like you insult our kingdom and king! On top of that you attacked the checker?"
Daryun started using 50% of his power to fight against Bandis who was managing to block somehow.
Daryun was surprised by seeing Bandis fight so well, hence he started to get serious and used 80% of his power using his spear.
He was now attacking with heavy killing intent which was making other bystanders fear just by looking at the fight.
"Daryun, you forgot to take others into consideration...", Rex mumbled and immediately cast a yellow coloured shield on everyone who was standing.
Thanks to that they were no longer being affected by the killing intent.
"Master, can I fight him seriously now?", Bandis used telepathy to communicate with Rex.
Rex nodded his head but gave out a precaution, "Just tire him! Don't injure him and don't use your true form!!"
Bandis was given quite the restrictions but he tok started to fight seriously now and was pushing Daryun back.
Just the aura of their fights was spreading thoughout the border city where the king had just arrived earlier for some important matters.
"This energy... Daryun is fighting?"
He was immediately alerted the moment he got the battle aura which was spreading throughout the city.
"What is such a master doing here?", Alex immediately dashed towards the place without his guards to look at the battle but NARSUS followed and stopped him immediately.
"Uhhh!!! Can't I even see a simple battle?", Alex was pouting like a child.
"Your highness, this seems to be a dangerous fight where even Daryun is having problem. Please wait a while longer..."
Daryun was tired of being pushed back so he decided to use all of his power and secret moves.
"Hyaaaa!!!"
Daryun shouted, "Black Serpents Divine Bite!!!"
Rex was excited while looking at the battle since he too longed for such a battle to occur but there was no one who could defeat him even with all the seals on him.
Bandis dodged the attack but was scratched a little on his face.
"Woah! You definitely have improved a lot!"
Daryun wasn't able to understand by what he meant. He was completely exhausted in using all the power. He could faint any moment when suddenly NARSUS arrived.
"I request you to stop the fight since it would cause incinvenive for the travelers..."
Rex had no intention of fighting anyway so he just nodded his head.
Narsus immediately grabbed Daryun in his arms like a baby and vanished right away.
"Pfffttt, that was crazy!!!! Oh my god!!!", Rex was laughing a lot continuously since he saw Daryun being carried like a baby and an exciting battle in the same day.
Then he called out to Bandis, "Bandis come back, let's enter..."
The remaining people who were standing we completely awed and the corrupted man who was blown away by a single hit had his jaws dropped.
All three of them just entered and started to eat some fast food that was available just near the entrance after walking 100-200 steps.
"Finally HOME, this feeling... I missed a lot!!!"
He remembered everything that he had done till now after escaping from the killers thanks to KITE and running away from home. He wanted to know about how his family were till now. The most he wanted to inquire was about Julia!
All three of them were eating and Narsus and 3 others whose levels could be comparable with Daryun were following them secretly.
Anyone could have recognised if Red had already removed the hood or robe that he was wearing due to which not only were his red hairs covered, but also his red eyes and his face was completely covered including his body.
He decided not to do for now since he didn't want any big commotion again. He first wanted to find out about the kingdom's situation and later disclose his identity.
AT THE SAME TIME...
"It's Weird no matter what you think Narsus, why would 3 masters visit our kingdom so suddenly?"
One of the members who were following raised this question to the genius strategiest and commander Narsus!
"I don't have the slightest of clue about it either..."
All of them were troubled with many questions which was related to the kingdom since three masters entering at a same time was a big deal.
"Tsk, I wish I could eliminate them as fast as I could, but I am unable to even see their levels!!!", said another man who was with them.
It was indeed true that their levels nor their power was being detected. It was as if it had been completely erased on purpose.
"But I don't think they are bad people.", said Narsus.
"Eh? Why do you think so?", asked a girl who was among them.
"Because, when the battle was going on and intense killing intent was given out, one of them cast shields to protect the civilians and prevent them from being harmed!"
"Whattt!!?"
"Yes, and also, they immediately stopped the moment I requested them to. If they were indeed bad people, they wouldn't have been required to enter the city from the right path... they could have just destroyed the walls considering their strength..."
They agreed to what Narsus said but at the same time Narsus contradicted himself and said, "However we need to keep an eye on them because this might be just a part of their act!"
