Taufu grumbled.
"Are you %￥@#?! I'm not even a year old, how can I fly?!"
Huh?
Seems like that's true.
Ignoring the complaint, Luo Yan looked at Sarah, who followed Taufu out of the cabin, and instructed.
"Sarah, pack our luggage, we're getting ready to leave. Across the mountain should be Eagle Rock Territory, we need to find a carriage there."
Sarah's expression was a bit complicated, and she coughed lightly before saying.
"Lord Demon King, all our luggage has been blown away..."
Just now, Lord Demon King was busy steering the ship and didn't pay attention to other things.
Fortunately, the valuable items were in the storage ring, and what was lost were just so expensive or worthless clothes and trinkets.
To the Demon King, things that can be bought with money are of no concern.
Luo Yan chuckled, carefree as he spoke.
"Is that so? Then don't worry about them, we'll buy more when we get to Eagle Rock Territory."
"Hey! Are you listening to !" Ignored, Taufu protested, taking small quick steps to catch up with the two, only to trip into a snow pit as soon as she stepped out.
The biting cold made her shiver, but fortunately, a warm current wrapped around her, pulling her from the snow and placing her in Sarah's arms.
"There's still one more, don't forget this little one."
"%￥#@!"
Taufu cursed fiercely.
Unfortunately, it was in Zeta Language, so only she could understand it.
...
The border post between the Rhode Kingdom and the Academic State was as deserted as ever, especially after the "enrollnt season" when even the symbolic guards were withdrawn.
Though the two countries often argued, it was just for show. The King of the Rhode Kingdom never truly saw the Academic State as a country, and as for the Great Sage of the Academic State...
In the past, Luo Yan thought Dousuke simply looked down on secular authority, but now it seed that guy never considered the Luo De people as humans.
Arrogance towards those below the High Tower was equal, a warm smile not even about dignity, rely because worms weren't worth a frown.
The group of three passed the nominal border line without any checkups, quietly entering the Traveler Camp once more.
However, the sight before them left them thoroughly shocked.
The once desolate and rundown temporary camp, battered by wind and snow, now looked completely rejuvenated!
The streets were swept clean, with new shops and tents all around, displaying all sorts of signs.
Adventurers, rchants, and travelers of all sorts thronged the spacious streets, creating an unusually prosperous and lively scene.
Oh boy.
Spring has co to Eagle Rock Territory too?
"Wow, it seems so much busier here now." Taufu curiously looked around, her previously gloomy spirits lifted, her eyes searching the street with curiosity.
No need to ask—
Luo Yan could guess with his toes what this boastful little brat was looking for, but alas, its scales weren't fully grown yet, still too tender.
The heavily cloaked, thickly made-up won were nowhere to be seen, replaced by nuns in black robes.
They wore compassionate smiles, hands clasped in prayer, whispering blessings for passing travelers, starkly contrasting the bustling, noisy environnt around them.
Occasionally, an adventurer or rcenary would stop by them, smiling boldly or shyly, drawing a cross on their chest.
"In the na of Saint Sis... I wish to confess."
The nun responded with a smile, drawing a cross on her chest too, like a secret sign.
"Co in now, poor child."
"Do you have candles?"
"Yes, but they require an extra fee."
"Money's no object!!!"
The two laughed and walked into the tent together, as if genuinely praying for the Holy Master's gospel.
Taufu looked completely confused.
"What are they doing?"
She understood every word they said, but together it made no sense whatsoever.
And—
Were they really talking about the benevolent and loving Saint Sis she knew???
"Children shouldn't ddle in adult affairs." Luo Yan didn't answer her question, rely giving a playful smile and leaving her with a dismissive comnt.
As the Demon King of Hell, what big storms hadn't he weathered? Only little brats like Taufu would make a fuss, as if it were their first day in this world.
The only thing surprising to him was what had happened in the past six months causing people's minds to degrade so rapidly.
In his impression, the Luo De people were supposed to be devout, even to a stubborn degree, so much so that the Imperial people often mocked them as dwarves among humans.
With a trendously shocked Taufu, Luo Yan left the trouble-laden area and entered a fairly clean-looking inn.
"Boss, two mugs of ale, one hot malt tea."
Handing his baggage to the maid, Luo Yan sat at the bar, knocking on the table skillfully, pushing forward five silver coins.
"And get a serving of your signature roast pig's trotter, along with two servings of beef stew with beans and bread."
"Got it! Just a mont, sir!" The bartender swiftly collected the coins, his smile gaining warmth as he hurried to the kitchen.
Shortly, the drinks and als were served.
When the roast pig's trotter, crispy on the outside and sizzling with oil, was placed on the table, Taufu's eyes imdiately lit up.
She let out a cheer, disregarding any semblance of noble Zeta people's image, and directly grabbed it with her paw, burying her head in it with relish, oil dripping from her mouth.
