Chapter 526: Yolmin City

Ashton Harbor

"He will cross the boundary of the merchant state in a few minutes," informed the man in armor.

"Good. The sooner we have him in our hands, the better it will be," replied the man with the staff.

"Are the other preparations in place?" asked the man with the staff.

"Yes. Once we got him, we will whisk him away to a place where not even the archmage tower will be able to find him," replied the armored man.

"When he reappears again. He will be a loyal soldier of Vris'alud," added the armored man with a smile on his face.

The man with the staff didn't say anything to that, but his head bobbed faintly in affirmation.

......

I looked at Marim, disappearing from my eyes, and turned to the fast-appearing boundary between the merchant state of Oksall and Tezir.

We didn't stay in any city of the merchant states despite getting an invitation from all the cities we had crossed.

Though, I will make a brief stop at the Yolmin. The second biggest city of Tezir for a short time.

Fifteen minutes later, we reached the boundary. As we did, the nine mercenaries we had hired had left the boat and jumped into the one following behind us.

Another group of mercenaries will join us soon in Tezir.

The merchant state was pretty safe, with high-traffic boats and heavy patrolling, but I still hired them.

I had hired the mercenaries in each kingdom.

All of them are experienced and highly rated. It might seem unnecessary because of the number of guards I have, but I don't want to take any chances with my or my people's safety.

The mercenaries will not only act as security but also as guides.

Till we reach Mahal, there is no need for the guides since all we need to follow is a river, but having them is comforting.

The border guards talked to the captain from their boats but didn't board us.

We have immunity. They cannot set foot on our boats without our permission.

The yacht crossed into Tezir while I watched from the railing.

It is a kingdom famous for its four spices and heavy infantry. There are only two legacies here, which are about average.

Merchant states, Baxzar Dominion, Navr, and Harsoth empires, have the highest number of legacies. The other kingdoms have around two on average.

I watched it for a while before returning to my suite.

There, once again, I practiced the aura. It was the only thing I could do here. Since I couldn't spar and there was not much work.

I had finished it all before coming.

After the practice, I had lunch before I came back to my suite and practiced the aura again. Took a small break and practiced again and then again.

I usually snuck two or three short practice sessions during the day but never got a chance to practice as I am doing right now.

It is a great opportunity that I will use wisely.

Soon it was evening.

Click!

I was resting on the floor. Still taking deep breaths when the door opened.

"Lord Silver, we will reach Yolmin in half an hour," informed Zela, before closing the door.

I have been invited by Lord Galil. He is the master of the Legacy.

A Grade III like me.

To be honest, I rather not stop. It's not because I don't want to; I am genuinely interested. It is a unique legacy, but I also want to reach Armchamage City as soon as possible.

There are so many things I have to do there.

However, I must stop. Politically it wouldn't be good. If I didn't, at least visit one of Tezir's cities.

I stayed down a few more minutes before getting up shakingly and walking to the bathroom. I could use the skill, but I didn't want to make myself more tired than I already am.

Ten minutes later. I came out of the shower feeling much better.

I took out a suit from the cupboard and dressed before stepping out of the suite.

Soon, I reached the deck and saw most of the others were out on deck. In a few minutes, we will reach Yolmin.

"You looked tired, my lord," said Eva with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"I was practicing," I replied in privacy.

There was confusion in her eyes before her eyes lit up in the understanding.

"I am excited, mom. I heard a lot of amazing things about the whimsical wonder," said Margaux's Daughter.

"Have you seen their shows?" asked Eva to that I shook my head.

The whimsical troupe does shows all over the continent and outside it. They are considered one of the best in the entire world.

Old Remus had once got a chance, but that idiot was too busy training.

So, my father gave the ticket to my brother.

"You?" I asked. "Once, when they had come to Namdar," she replied with a smile.

It will be the only third legacy, I will see, after the one in Jalrux and Vanis Tavern.

I haven't got out of the city since I became the lord. The only place I had gone to was the Panar, but that was for the attack.

So, saying I am excited, would be an understatement.

A few minutes later, the city was in front of us.

We are technically in it since the river flows through it, like many cities we have passed through.

It is a huge city. The second biggest city in Tezir, with over ten million population.

Finally, the ship docked at the port, and the ramp was lowered. The guards moved forward before I took a step toward it, with my heart beating wildly.
