Chapter 8

Outside the Teleportation Hall in the center of Mu Guang City, the flow of people surged, forming a long queue.

All kinds of people gathered here, with looks of expectation or fatigue on their faces, waiting to embark on a journey to the distance.

Suddenly, a clear sound of horse hooves approached from far to near, breaking the original order.

Roko and his group rode their spirited horses, walking unhurriedly toward the entrance of the Teleportation Hall.

This was particularly abrupt in the central area where riding was prohibited.

A burst of dissatisfied whispers suddenly erupted in the queue.

"What's going on? Can you ride a horse here?"

"Too arrogant, who do they think they are?"

"The Teleportation Hall is right in front, and they are still riding horses; they really have no rules."

The discussion was mixed with undisguised annoyance and jealousy.

However, before these discussions could ferment, several city guards guarding near the entrance of the hall had already acted quickly.

Their gazes were sharp, and they locked onto the eye-catching Flame Griffin emblem on Roko's chest the first time.

That was the symbol of the Raymond Family.

The guards' expressions instantly became respectful, and they walked up quickly.

The leading guard captain performed a standard military salute to Roko, his voice loud.

"Greetings, Young Master!"

Immediately, he waved his hand, and several guards stepped forward, forcibly splitting a path in the crowded crowd.

The people who were still complaining saw this scene, especially that emblem symbolizing the highest power in Mu Guang City, and immediately became silent as cicadas in winter.

All dissatisfaction and discussion disappeared, replaced by awe and dodging.

Roko seemed accustomed to this, his face without any extra expression.

He gently pulled the reins, and the spirited horse under him stepped with steady steps, walking straight toward the Teleportation Hall along the path opened by the guards.

The surrounding crowd in the queue dodged one after another, not daring to have the slightest obstruction.

Fula in his arms seemed even more uneasy.

She buried her little face deeply in Roko's chest, her body trembling slightly, seemingly wanting to hide herself completely.

She could sense the countless gazes cast from around, and those gazes made her afraid.

Although Roko had said he didn't care about her heterochromia, saying they were very beautiful.

But the "bad luck" brand rooted in her heart since she was a child, and the curious or disgusted gazes of the world, still stung her sensitive nerves like needles.

She was afraid of causing trouble for this only master.

Entering the Teleportation Hall, the internal space suddenly opened up.

A huge circular magic array was engraved on the ground, radiating mysterious and powerful energy fluctuations, and the air was filled with a faint magic power aura.

As a descendant of the Raymond Family, especially a knight heading to the border to pioneer, using the teleportation array controlled by the family naturally didn't need to pay that high magic crystal stone fee.

This was the support given by the family to the pioneers, and also a kind of silent investment.

The light of the teleportation array lit up, enveloping Roko, Fula, and the guard squad led by Hate.

Space twisted slightly, and a strong sense of weightlessness struck.

The scene before his eyes blurred instantly, and then became clear again the next moment.

This was not a direct teleportation.

Xin Feng Province was located at the far northeast border of the Black Kingdom, extremely far from Mu Guang City.

Even with the help of the teleportation array, it needed to go through several transfers before finally arriving.

Every teleportation required staying for a moment in different relay cities, waiting for the activation of the next teleportation array.

The light lit up again and again, and went out again and again.

Time passed in the boring teleportation and waiting.

It took about three full days.

When the light of the last teleportation dissipated, Roko and his group finally stepped onto the land of Xin Feng Province.

The touch under his feet was solid, and the air was filled with a slightly rough and dry aura different from Mu Guang City.

Roko looked around, sizing up this provincial capital of Xin Feng Province named 【Prada】.

However, the scene before his eyes made him frown slightly.

This so-called provincial capital was far from what he had imagined.

No towering city walls, no exquisite and gorgeous buildings.

What came into view were slightly low stone-wood mixed structure houses; the streets couldn't be considered wide, and the ground was just simple rammed earth, far from the cleanliness of Mu Guang City.

The overall style appeared a bit simple, even one could say rough.

This didn't seem to match its status as a "provincial capital."

Let alone compared to a grand city like Mu Guang City.

I'm afraid even the second-tier cities with relatively ordinary development within the Raymond Family's territory looked more prosperous and orderly than this provincial capital of Xin Feng Province.

Roko understood in his heart that this was probably the true face of a newly pioneered province.

Chaotic, primitive, but also full of unknown possibilities.

Just as Roko was standing near the exit of the teleportation array, silently observing this border provincial capital.

Behind him, the teleportation array lit up with light again.

Another group of people walked out from it.

This group of people was about a dozen, surrounding a young noble with gorgeous clothing and an impatient face.

They saw Roko and his group occupying the exit position, seemingly watching and not intending to leave immediately, and instantly showed dissatisfied looks.

Beside the young noble, a middle-aged man who looked like a steward had a sharp voice, carrying undisguised arrogance.

"Hey! People in front, hurry up and move aside!"

"Don't block the way of our Young Master Wei Er Ke!"

This harsh voice broke the brief calm in the teleportation array exit area.

Hate Gelin's brows locked instantly, his hand holding the reins tightened slightly, and a steady aura of a peak Great Knight unconsciously radiated out.

The twenty-plus knight guards behind him cast their gazes toward the uninvited guests behind them in unison, their eyes becoming cold, and their hands subconsciously resting on the sword hilts at their waists.

A trace of faint tension permeated the air.

Even Fula, who was curled up in Roko's arms, sensed this unfriendly aura, and her body tensed even more.

Her little head almost buried into Roko's chest, and her tail curled up uneasily.

Only Roko still sat steadily on his horse, his face without even a trace of extra expression.

His gaze swept over the back calmly.

An attribute panel quietly emerged before his eyes.

【Name: Ka Er】

【Level: Initial Stage Knight】

【Talent: C+】

【Status: Healthy】

【Favorability: -20】

【Loyalty: 0】

Just a steward who was an Initial Stage Knight, and his talent was extremely mediocre.

Roko's gaze passed over the steward who was shouting and fell on the young noble surrounded in the middle.

That young man looked to be about the same age as Roko, dressed gorgeously with exquisite fabric, but his face carried an extreme arrogance and impatience.

His eyes scanned the simple environment around him, not hiding the disdain within.

【Name: Wei Er Ke Weila】

【Level: Mid-stage Knight Attendant】

【Talent: C】

【Status: Irritable】

【Favorability: -30】

【Loyalty: 0】

Mid-stage Knight Attendant, talent only C.

It seemed he was a poor wretch "exiled" to the border by his family, just that his temper didn't seem very good.
