seeing her teacher make no move, she spoke softly: “We are adventurers from the north, here to pay our respects to the lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The patrolling guards frowned, exchanged glances, then the lead guard shook his head: “Governor Wol has ordered that Spine Peak City welcomes every adventurer who has fought demons—but the lord is not someone you can simply request to meet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that is your only purpose, then I’m sorry—please turn back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it won’t work after all…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fllien sighed and turned to Vlamé: “Stop watching the show—I know you have a way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vlamé smiled: “Why rush? I was just testing if I could get in by name—but apparently, that guy didn’t list me as a guest of Spine Peak City…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she complained, she pulled a holy scripture from her pack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you recognize this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vlamé held up the scripture and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards stared at the scripture in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw the familiar unicorn beast relief on the cover, their faces turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Lord Vlamé!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lead guard bowed hastily, apologizing for failing to recognize her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…So did that guy ever mention me at all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the stark contrast in the guards’ behavior, Vlamé asked this question curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lead guard replied respectfully: “The lord rarely leaves his residence; none of us have been fortunate enough to hear his teachings. But Captain Dai Meng once instructed us: any human woman carrying this scripture is unquestionably Lord Vlamé!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it was Dai Meng…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then everything’s fine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vlamé nodded, tucked the scripture away, and smiled: “Can we go in now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards quickly stepped aside, bowing: “My lord, please enter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re excellent—a proper guard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vlamé patted the stunned guard, then walked cheerfully through the gate, looking pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fllien sighed and followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two steps, the two women stopped again—Old Wol, drawn by the commotion, had recognized Vlamé and hurried forward to greet her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Vlamé!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Wol?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vlamé regarded the sturdy old man uncertainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Wol straightened his chest proudly: “It’s Wol Stone—the name the lord granted my family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vlamé exclaimed: “Congratulations!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wol beamed and said: “Lord Vlamé, when do you plan to pay your respects to the lord?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No rush… Where’s Dai Meng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still patrolling the east—the wall there has only just been foundationed, no defensive value yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vlamé nodded, walking along the central avenue while observing the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the bustling residents and shops, she praised: “In just ten years, such achievement—I clearly underestimated you back then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wol hurried to reply: “All thanks to the lord’s grace—nothing to do with me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vlamé doubted: “Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar voice came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vlamé froze slightly, turned—and there stood a black-haired boy with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Long time no see… Vlamé!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1203,"2026-06-20T00:29:28.871Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2ffd02474c6881122f243b5a7270ef5ce25977fc96c8dcc92cec53bb0adc1912","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-46","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-44",206,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-cover.jpg"]
