Chapter 1402 Nalrof Tea Shop (2)
The Carlisto Kingdom was one of the seven strongest human kingdoms in Aqura. The reason was not because of their powerful military or unlimited resources. But because The Adventurer Guild's main branch was located in the capital of Carlisto Kingdom.
With the help of the Adventurer Guild, the kingdom managed to secure a lot of resources and thrived. And no one was stupid enough to declare war against the kingdom that had the best relationship with the Adventurer Guild. With no war or battle, the kingdom just got stronger and stronger.
During the time the Adventurer Guild was in a war against The Temple. The Carlisto Kingdom sided with The Adventurer Guild and fought The Temple's force that tried to invade the kingdom. The Carlisto Kingdom did not lose a single territory until the Adventurer Guild reached a truce with The Temple. Ever since The Carlisto Kingdom has become one of the strongest human kingdoms.
Tang Shaoyang and Avyn arrived in the Capital of the Carlisto Kingdom with Hemlin. They were at the Adventurer Guild's main branch.
"How long will it take us to The Temple of Light?"
"Can we delay the journey a little bit to meet my friend?" Hemlin had not told Tang Shaoyang that they were here to meet Forlan first, "I need you to convince Forlan so The Tang Empire can smoothly absorb The Adventurer Guild. If Forlan did not like the idea, he would oppose us and that would split the Adventurer Guild."
Tang Shaoyang squinted his eyes, realizing he was tricked by Hemlin. They were not yet heading to The Temple of Light. He let out a sigh, "Might as well since we are already here."
Hemlin was relieved that Tang Shaoyang agreed to meet Forlan instead of getting mad. But for sure, he annoyed The Emperor. On the way to meet Forlan, Hemlin shared a little bit about Forlan.
While Hemlin disguised as a farmer in the countryside, Forlan disguised as a noble in the Carlisto Kingdom. But it could not be called disguise as well because Forlan was an actual noble before joining the force with Hemlin.
Forlan Camden Vanderbilt from The Vanderbilt House, Archduke of the Carlisto Kingdom, The King's right hand. He opened a tea shop as a hobby, and Hemlin led them to that tea shop.
"Nalrof The Shop"
That was weird, but he soon figured it out. It was reversed from Forlan. If he did not hear anything from Hemlin, he too would not expect it was Forlan from the Adventurer Guild who opened the shop.
As they entered the tea shop peripheral, all the nobles in the shop stared at Hemlin. This time it was Hemlin who became the center of attention because of his shabby farmer outfit. The annoyed stares immediately turned into hostile stares as the nobles did not like being in the same space as the dirty commoner.
Tang Shaoyang thought these nobles would soon throw the cup and the plate at Hemlin. Fortunately, a middle-aged man rushed toward them, and it seemed this man recognized Hemlin.
"I told you several times to wear at least a decent outfit if you want to visit the shop, Sir Hemlin,'' the middle-aged whispered. It was bold of the man to scold Hemlin despite knowing Hemlin's identity.contemporary romance
Hemlin smiled silly, "I am in a hurry, so I don't get the chance to change my clothes. Can you lead me to your boss, Rowlan? I am really in a hurry!"
The middle-aged man glanced at Avyn and Tang Shaoyang, furrowing his brow when he spotted the left black eye. He then glanced at Hemlin and did not question these two identities. He had an unquestionable trust in Hemlin and nodded upon noticing the nobles looked more agitated.
The manager apologized and took Hemlin with him to the seventh floor. There was no elevator in this world, so they had to go upstairs. It did not tire Tang Shaoyang, but it annoyed him since he was used to taking the elevator.
As they arrived on the seventh floor, they met five knights in black armor and red cape. The five knights glanced at their arrival and looked away when they saw the manager. But then they noticed there were three more people following the manager. The five knights immediately drew their swords, pointing the sword especially at Tang Shaoyang.
Hemlin's heart almost jumped as soon as he sensed the killing intent of the knights that were directed toward Tang Shaoyang. He almost jumped out and knocked these five knights, but Rowlan was faster than him.
"What are you doing!? How dare you point your sword at Boss Forlan's guests!" Rowlan's aura and killing intent matched the five knights. It just showed that Rowlan was stronger individually and had more experience than these knights.
"I allow you to keep your sword, but I never agreed to pull your sword at the guest! Lower your sword immediately!"
"He is a Demon, Sir Rowlan! We will not allow a demon to get near His Majesty! We normally will listen to your request, but not when it is related to His Majesty's safety!"
Rowlan totally forgot about The King's visit because of Tang Shaoyang and Hemlin's shabby outfits. Normally he would ask His Boss first instead of leading Hemlin to where his Boss was. He retracted his aura and calmed down, "Don't worry. He is safe. Sir Hemlin can guarantee that, right Sir Hemlin?" He turned around and exposed Hemlin's identity.
At the same time, the door opened as laughter came from the room behind the knights, "There's no way my life is in danger when you are with me, Forlan."
Two men came out of the room. One was wearing a royal cloak, and one was wearing a neat outfit.
Forlan scanned the surroundings and noticed two unfamiliar faces with Hemlin. He furrowed his brows when he spotted the black eyes. However, he could tell that the man was not a demon, and yet he had a demon eye. That was an intriguing fact, and that might be the reason why Hemlin brought that man to meet him. The woman was exceptionally pretty, especially her beautiful eyes. But he did not sense anything weird from the woman from the fact he could not sense her aura.
"It's fine. They are my friends," With that, the knights reluctantly lowered their swords. The knights dared to talk back at Rowlan, but not Forlan.
