Chapter 238: Dragon's magic
Branden and Esmeralda grew increasingly restless after a week of confinement within the carriages. They occasionally took short walks in an attempt to break the monotony of their journey. However, these strolls were cut short whenever they spotted something unusual in the distance.
These oddities often took the form of flying creatures or massive reptiles roaming the landscape. For the sake of safety, they were quickly ushered back into the carriages whenever these mysterious beings appeared on the horizon.
"How curious... why wouldn't they just kill them all?" Rain thought.
It shouldn't be difficult, given that they can mobilize all the tribes to start a war of conquest. They should be able to use them as well to hunt monsters.
In any case, Rain forgot about that when he finally could see the capital of the Magic People country. Branden and Esmeralda could see it as well, and they were left speechless.
The capital of the magic people's country was a breathtaking sight to behold. It stood tall, resembling a colossal structure with multiple layers that seemed to reach for the sky. When viewed from a distance, the city appeared as a magnificent and vibrant castle adorned with a plethora of trees, plants, and flowers that added a burst of color to its facade.
From the upper levels of the city, cascading fountains and winding canals snaked their way down, creating a picturesque and majestic scene. The entire city seemed to harmonize with nature, blending the elements seamlessly into its design.
It was a place of wonder and enchantment, where the beauty of the natural world coexisted gracefully with the architectural marvels of the magic people's civilization.
It looked like the place could keep expanding and it resembled a bit of a pyramid with several levels.
As expected, those drew a lot of attention, even more so since they were surprised that a lot of people from different tribes lived in harmony and managed to build a city like that. It was a clear sign that required the cooperation of numerous tribes.
As the group ventured further into the capital city, they encountered its unique architectural layout. The city was divided into distinct sectors, each stacked atop the other, creating a multi-tiered metropolis. To navigate between these sectors, they found themselves ascending numerous flights of stairs, which connected the bustling layers of the city.
The vigilant guards guided their journey through the city's complex geography. These guardians of the magic people civilization led them to a quiet and vacant inn, signaling a temporary respite from their travels. Here, the group would find a moment of rest. Geio parted ways with them to fulfill his own duties.
Upon entering their room, the group refrained from immediately unpacking their belongings. Branden and Esmeralda, their weariness evident, opted to take a moment's respite by sitting on the room's beds. In contrast, Rain, vigilant as ever, began a thorough survey of their immediate surroundings.
With his keen perception and heightened sensitivity to magic, Rain silently indicated various points within the room. His gestures revealed that he could detect the presence of magic people not just around them but also above and below.
At the same time, Branden sighed... it was difficult not to do anything about that, but it couldn't be helped. As for Rain, he equipped a cloak and hid the best potions on his back. He didn't like cloaks since they hindered his movements a bit, but that was necessary.
"The atmosphere of the city seemed pretty peaceful. I thought that things would be more intense since the dragons are threatening them," Esmeralda said.
"Indeed, but for us who live in the capital, it is difficult to grasp dangerous situations when they are too far away from us," Branden said. "A lot of tribes live here, but I imagine those are the upper echelon's servants and family."
"I thought that they didn't have servants," Rain said.
