After arriving at North Point Pier, the Gelin also docked at the shore.
The ships docked here seem to belong mostly to the Adventurer's Guild and so civilian boats; overall, the number is much fewer compared to the comrcial port.
However, even this harbor cannot be compared to Nadewilo or Giant Claw City.
Rogel lowered his head and glanced at the Cave Pointer in his hand.
According to the direction indicated by the Cave Pointer, the location of the second Land Cave should be on Ozuric Island.
The cave is on the island, could it be that no one has discovered it beforehand?
Rogel stroked his chin in contemplation.
He felt that since he could bring a clone out from the cave, people in this world should be able to enter the cave as well.
Could it be that there's so hidden restriction in the cave's power?
While thinking, Rogel led the group down the Gelin's gangway.
Before coming ashore, Rogel had prepared disguises; whether it was the flag or their appearances, there were noticeable differences from before, probably making it unrecognizable to the Mother Goddess Church.
After officially landing on Ozuric Island, Rogel and his group advanced into the island.
Compared to Giant Claw Island and Nadewilo, the architectural style of Ozuric Island is more grand and exquisite; even at night, it is brightly lit, and so wealthy people even use Pearl Lamps as lighting tools.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!"
Noemi exclaid in awe.
The rest weren't much better, filled with curiosity about the Royal City.
Judging by the clothing of the passersby, it's clear that there are quite a few wealthy people on Ozuric Island.
A noblewoman sitting in a carriage, dressed luxuriously and followed by servants, had a more arrogant expression after glimpsing at them.
A beautiful woman holding a man's arm noticed the situation, covered her mouth with a smile, and whispered coquettishly to the man beside her.
"Look, a few more country folks have arrived..."
This was heard loud and clear by Rogel and the other Extraordinaries, as well as the keen-eared Wolf Sister.
"What are they saying?"
"Just because you stick a feather in your hat, you think you're a peacock? Quit acting! Old hen!"
Noemi retorted unceremoniously, looking fiercely at the woman.
"You... vulgar!"
Hearing Noemi's words, the beautiful woman subconsciously touched her adorned hat, her face turning purple with wrath, gritting her teeth.
She felt both embarrassed by being overheard and angry at being insulted at her weak spot.
Rogel and the others couldn't help but laugh at Noemi's words.
Wolf Sister was quite adept at striking back, hitting precisely where it hurts.
Seeing his partner insulted, the well-dressed, rotund, mustached man frowned and turned his head.
He glanced at the group, puffed up his chest, and finally rested his gaze on Rogel, with an arrogant expression.
"Since you stepped onto the sacred and glorious land of the Royal City, you should consciously shed the rural habits from remote islands, or you'll seem out of place."
"I hope you can control your companions and refrain from using such disrespectful and vulgar language, sir."
After saying this, the man theatrically closed his eyes and slightly nodded to Rogel, with a touch of noble deanor.
Yet there was unabashed arrogance and disdain in his words.
"This gentleman seems to have learned etiquette quite well, must have had a crash course."
"However, you seem unaware that the sophisticated people of the Royal City generally don't wear their scarves like that..."
Mira spoke up with a smile.
Following her lead, Lina began to lend her support.
"Don't misunderstand, we definitely didn't say you're a nouveau riche trying to emulate without understanding etiquette... It must be a lapse due to your busy schedule..."
Lina shrugged, explaining leisurely as if genuinely reminding soone to zip up their pants.
After speaking, the three female crew mbers exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing this, the man's originally proud expression instantly broke, his face reddening involuntarily.
He was originally a rchant, having just recently settled in the Royal City after making so quick wealth through dubious ans, trying hard to mimic noble manners.
He did not know if he was wearing his scarf correctly, and had no confidence to refute Mira's words.
At this point, the verbal conflict between the two parties had attracted quite a bit of attention, including well-dressed townspeople.
If Mira's words were true, wouldn't refuting them an admitting to ignorance?
His earlier words were already the best he could pull from his vocabulary, painstakingly thought out.
However, no sooner had he felt pleased than he was left speechless by Mira and Lina, not knowing how to respond.
"Haha..."
A few well-dressed onlookers were already pointing and whispering.
To the man, it felt like mockery.
Rogel gently patted Mira's shoulder, adjusted his hat, and smilingly looked at the man.
"As you can see, sir, my companions are all knowledgeable and polite."
"Of course, if soone attacks us with crude words, we will retaliate accordingly; I think this isn't related to etiquette."
"Wouldn't you agree, sir?"
Rogel laughed lightly at him.
At this point, the surrounding bystanders had gathered a general understanding of the situation.
Although they too felt a certain superiority over outsiders, they typically did not show it openly.
During such situations, they were more inclined to support Rogel, which would better highlight the grace and tolerance of locals from Ozuric Island.
