Chapter 178 Border Town
"Oh... Captain Gyrus, is it time? Then I'll head back." Lucia uttered as she sighed.
She turned to look back at Davis, "Sorry, I won't be able to accompany you and show you the way as I have something to do..."
Davis shook his head and said, "It's fine."
"25,000 kilometres to our North is the Loseris Kingdom, a Low-Level Sky Grade Kingdom. You can find plenty of Low-Level Earth Grade Clans, Families there..." Lucia said and looked at Lucas, "Let's go, elder brother..."
Lucas nodded and bid farewell to him before uttering, "Move as she said and you will see prairies and grasslands enter your sight, and at that moment you will know that you have left the Desolate Plains.
The Desolate Plains took the entire south of the Desolate Continent, painting the scenery with deserts and mountainous regions.
Davis looked at their disappearing silhouettes and sighed as he understood their disappointment from not being able to leave this place.
...
Lucia and Lucas arrived at their home. They then stood there in the hall, awaiting someone.
The place they stayed at was a luxurious big mansion that was capable of housing more than 40 people.
"Father!" Lucia's eyes lit up as she saw Daniuis coming towards them.
She immediately ran towards him and threw herself in his embrace.
"Lucia, you've been a naughty girl!" Daniuis smiled and pulled her cheeks wide.
"Oww! Sorry! I won't trespass again!" She replied as she now knew that she had been caught listening to her parents nightly affairs.
"Sorry, father! I won't do it again as well!" Responded Lucas as he was on the verge of tears, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He was quite scared that his father would punish him now.
It was originally Lucia's idea to peep on them.
Besides, this kind of dashing... the wind that grazed his face, making his hair flutter... He loved this kind of feeling.
Too bad that he just wasn't able to fly as he still hadn't reached Revolving Core Stage.
Halfway through his journey, he left the Desolate Plains.
Half a day passed as his vision reflected the night.
Davis finally stopped as he looked at the scenery in front of him.
People roaming around the streets, buildings of unknown, yet human architecture reflected in his eyes as he blinked.
Looking behind, he saw some soldiers draped in poorly designed armour patrol around the enlarged fences.
Looking ahead, he started walking again. He had arrived at this border town just a second ago.
Even without using his soul cultivation, he was able to get past these soldiers who looked shabby as roadside thugs.
While walking ahead, he frowned.
'Guess it might be difficult to find my target here...' Davis thought as he shook his head.
As he kept walking, he saw a building which vaguely resembled an Inn.
He walked towards the Inn and entered it, causing the door to ring a bell, alerting the people inside.
"Welcome to the... Oh... You are a child? Do you want a place to stay?" An old lady who looked slightly aged blinked her eyes as she asked in a worried tone.
Davis just nodded his head silently.
"That would be 10 gold coins then..."
He extended his hands and opened his fists where 10 gold coins could be seen.
The old lady took it and handed him over a key, patiently instructing him of the direction he needed to take to enter his room.
Davis nodded and went to his room without even saying a single word.
