Chapter 212 The elves city

After two whole days, the cargo arrived in front of a medium-sized city gate.

The cargo owner wanted to rest in between the two-day journey but Regius and Kyle were not in the mood to stop in the middle of a forest. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and force the horses to continue moving.

Kyle and Regius jumped off the cargo when it stopped outside the city gate and without even glancing at the owner they started walking toward the city gate.

A long line of travelers was standing outside the gate and all of them were elves. Some of the elves glanced at the duo, especially at Kyle because of his shoulder-length bright hair and pale face.

Kyle frowned when he felt so many stares boring at his back. He was wearing a blue hoodie with black pants he requested from Regius because the white robes were too long.

'I take back my words. Black hair is better at least I didn't attract so much attention.'

With a sigh, he hid his hair in the hoodie. After waiting in line for a few minutes, it was finally their turn to enter the city.

A city guard wearing plain clothes inquired about their reason for entering the city but when Regius showed him his Academy token the guard instantly let them in because 'Lune Academy' was very famous in the Tersia Kingdom.

Kyle looked around the city, it was not much developed but a lot of elves were roaming around the busy streets, heading from one stall to another.

The house structure around the city was different from Kingdom Escalante because almost all the houses were flat with only a single floor.

Moreover, he could see a lot of greenery even in such a bustling city.

He walked behind Regius and was a little surprised when he saw some humans walking around the streets.

After a few minutes of walking, they stopped in front of an old-looking shop. Regius turned around and looked at Kyle.

"Don't go anywhere and wait here for a minute. You can't enter this shop without permission but the shop owner is my friend. So, I will buy a communication Crystal for you because it will take us a whole week to reach the Academy from here."

Kyle nodded and silently watched as Regius entered the shop. He waited outside for a few seconds but then his ears twitched slightly.

A frown appeared on his face and he looked at a dark alley a few meters away from the shop. It was very faint but he was sure someone was shouting for help. Kyle gazed at the shop with a serious expression and slid down his hoodie, completely hiding his eyes.

'I will return before he comes out.'

Kyle approached the alley with slow steps, completely blending with the elves around him.

He passed through a few stalls and stopped outside the alley. His frown deepened because the cry for help disappeared when he arrived in front of the alley.

'I am here already so I should check it out.'

He entered the alley and looked around with a serious expression. After a few seconds, he heard sounds of murmur and stopped in his tracks.

Opposite him, two young elves males and two females wearing similar purple shirts were helping an injured middle-aged woman.

A few steps away from the group of elves wearing purple shirts, two unconscious men were tied up with a rope.

Kyle blinked, he could only see the backs of those purple shirts elves. He stepped back silently.

'It seems I am not needed.'

As he turned around and took a step towards the exit of the alley. A low tick sound resounded behind him and his ears perked up again. Amidst the faint murmurs of the bustling streets, the sound was very unique like a smooth glass piece hitting the floor. n/-o))v)/e-(1/)B--1).n

'Hmmm?'

He turned around because he sensed something rolling toward him. The group of purple shirt elves was standing at the same spot, now trying to wake up the unconscious tied men but Kyle's eyes darted at the ground where a greenish-white porcelain bracelet rolled across the hard surface.

Under his gaze, the accessory rolled smoothly and finally stopped with a zing-zang sound when it hit his shoe.

Kyle bent down and picked it up. The bracelet's surface shone brightly under the sunlight. Also, he could see an unfinished old Array carved on its surface.

Kyle gazed at the group of elves again and saw one of the female elves was wearing a familiar accessory on one of her wrists.

He was only able to see her back and long honey-colored hair cascading down behind her smoothly.

He wanted to leave the accessory on the ground but Regius's worried voice resounded in his mind and he hurriedly turned around and started walking with the bracelet in his hand.

While moving he heard a faint murmur from behind.

"Trash, how can these people attack an innocent woman?"

The voice was angry but it didn't sound cold. Instead, it was very pleasant.

Kyle's grasp on the bracelet tightened slightly he wanted to turn around to see the voice owner but Regius grabbed his shoulder.

"Kyle? Where did you go? Didn't I tell you to stay in front of the shop? It's very dangerous for you to roam around like this."

"Huh?"

Kyle blinked and looked at Regius's worried face.

"Sorry, I just wanted to see a stall."

Regius gazed at a nearby stall and sighed.

"You could have waited for me. Anyway, I bought a communication Crystal. Here."

He took out a crystal ball and handed it to Kyle.

"Kyle, do you know the set of relevant coordinate numbers of your friend's communication devices? After all, you can't contact them without it."

Kyle nodded. He wasn't sure about others but he remembered Elder Han's communication Crystal coordinate number. Also, he remembered the coordinates number of the communication Crystal he gave to his father.

After Kyle placed the bracelet and the communication crystal in his storage ring, they went toward a nearby hotel to eat and rest for a while.

Meanwhile, in the alley, the female elf finally noticed one of her bracelets was missing. She gasped with surprise and looked at her friends.

"One of my bracelets is missing! Help me find it, my dad gave it to me as a gift!"
