"If we really want to take action, your light element aura would definitely be a big problem. But if your wings are hidden, your aura wouldn't be too noticeable - about the same level as mine."
I was just talking, not expecting there to be such a possibility. But seeing her seriously considering sneaking in, I suddenly felt a bit nervous.
"Why don't we wait a while more?"
Hearing that, Selene looked puzzled and gave me an odd look.
"Weren't you the one who suggested sneaking in?"
"We could do more preparation..." I tried to change the topic.
"Are you chickening out again?"
Seeing my reaction, Selene suddenly realized and showed a look of disdain again.
"No way! We're not strong enough, we just don't want to take unnecessary risks."
Provoked by her, I immediately came up with all sorts of reasons to argue back.
"And I need to ensure your safety. It would be hard to protect you thoroughly once we're in the city."
"But this seems to be a rare opportunity. Don't you want to consider it?"
Selene had a regretful look, as if it would be a waste to pass up this opportunity if I didn't sneak into the city.
"What opportunity?" Hearing her say that, I became a bit curious.
"Look, there are no guards on top of the city walls now. If we sneak across quietly, we probably wouldn't be noticed."
She pointed at the sentry positions on top of the city walls. Indeed, there were no beasts visible and the skies seemed clear too, with no sign of vigilance.
"But even if we get in, wouldn't we stand out immediately with our looks?"
I still didn't feel convinced yet with just this.
"That's why we'll need these."
As soon as she finished speaking, Selene took out two cloaks from her storage ring.
"Well... I guess this could work."
Although I didn't want to admit it, seeing the two cloaks instantly increased the feasibility of the plan in my eyes.
"But wouldn't we stand out even more?"
I spotted another loophole - us being the only ones wearing cloaks when most other beasts don't would make us conspicuous.
"That's why we must avoid areas with many dark creatures and target lone ones where possible."
Selene was clearly impatient, explaining so much just to persuade me. She simply laid out all the key points clearly.
"Of course, there are still risks with sneaking in like this. But the chances of success are high too. It just depends if you're willing to take the gamble."
"If not, you can just wait outside. It'd depend on our luck then - if we're lucky, we might find other beasts soon. If not, it could take days. Let me make this clear first - our food supplies are limited. Continuing to rough it out in the wilderness would make it hard to fly back even if we find the way."
"But are you sure that even if we find a lone beast, the two of us would be able to subdue it? And understand what it's saying?"
I still felt uneasy about it.
"I roughly know the strength of beasts. Of course I'd choose softer persimmons to pinch! With me as a level 4 priest, plus you as a level 4 angel, we'd definitely be enough, as long as we avoid the powerful beasts. It'd basically be no issue."
