Twilight of Shepherd and Calamity

Ch11 Ladylake

Sorey pov

After coming out of the forest, it is a large grassland. The sun at noon shines the green grass everywhere and shines brightly.4. The front is a stone bridge that connects to the city and is covered with pavements of bricks and tiles, once carefully calculated and constructed by workers, it still under the regular maintenance to sustain its strength to support all the traffic.

The lake under the bridge glinted in the sun, now the city standing on top of the beautiful Lake Perniya is blessed in the lake's glory shines. The rings of stone arch structures on the bridge are guiding the road to the spectacular city of lake, and the brilliance of the city is framed in the arch.

The old path we now stepping on meandered down from the sparse forests connected us to our destination.

The city is stacked by white blocks and its great city wall, it is welcoming us with grand bridge and arch. What makes it different from my time is that there is a bunch of high-rise buildings located in the center in the city which seems covered a high proportion in the city as saw from far outside and it cast a large shadow to the city. The structure in the city may proceed a great change under those years.

We approached the place of identification, it is no longer a simple outdoor space for people to line up but a two-storey building with air-conditioners. The inspectors are separated with the immigrants by the glass of the counter, the security is much stronger than the ancient time.

Holding the fake passport, we pass the check counter and pass through the great arch.

The view framed by the grand arch, the grand road continues with some stalls and passengers. I would like to walk around the city but Velvet said we better find an inn and a doctor first.

"500galds per night for a room please!" The innkeeper stated in joy when he sees there are customers coming to him.

That a surprisingly high price without a meal, I wonder what wrong in the city and the point is our budget is enough for staying one night only, then we will have no money for the following travel, not to mention the doctor.

"Maybe we work here again instead of paying them the money..........." work is always enough to see how the people like in a place.

"I think so, but you are hurt, so you better stay and rest." Velvet agreed with my suggestion but she planned to work alone.

"What? No, I can't let you work all alone for it."

"If you are injured now, you should rest." She instructed seriously.

"How about we found a seraph to heal, then I may be fully healed at a fast rate and go help," I suggested insisting on helping.

" In any way, I will suggest you rest. Look, you fight hard against the werewolf, so it is my turn to help."

"But!"

"......How about you walk around the city to see what can we get. That helps a lot."

"......"

"You can't work when you are injured anyway." she scoffed.

"....Okay, got it.....Just don't overwork yourself." I took the offer finally, Velvet is too stubborn to persuade and she is certainly a workaholic.

"Don't worry. I won't." Every time she said this but ended up overworking.

"..... sometimes I think you really are a piece of work like someone." She added with a whispering sentence that I can't hear clearly.

"Huh? Did you say something?"

"No, nothing."

I agreed to Velvet's suggestion and walked around in the city while Velvet is serving as a waitress in the inn for a day.
