Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 165: Coming to Nightshire City
Chapter 165: Coming to Nightshire City
Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it had been two weeks since Ren and the others left the Moon Temple.
At this moment, he was sleeping on his soft, big bed. Lexie and Luna were not with him as they slept in their house.
"Mm..." Ren sat up and stretched his arms.
’Where is she?’
He immediately turned left and right when he didn’t see Scarlett in his room because she slept with him last night.
’This scent...’
A soft smile spread across his face as the aroma of delicious food drifted through the air.
’She is in the kitchen.’
He got out of bed and made his way to the kitchen.
But when he stepped into the dining room, he was greeted by Scarlett, who was preparing breakfast.
"Good morning, Ren." she said with a gentle smile. "Sit down. Breakfast is almost ready."
Instead of taking a seat, he approached her and placed a soft kiss on her cheek.
"Good morning, my love." He wrapped his arms around her from behind after giving her a soft morning kiss. "Breakfast smells amazing, just like you."
She turned around and cupped his face, giving him a loving kiss on the lips.
"Sit down first. I will bring the rice, and then we will eat together." She pulled out the chair and gently guided him into it.
Ren waited patiently as his gaze lingered on the food.
’This is heaven!’
The warmth of the morning, the aroma of freshly cooked food, and the sight of his lover preparing breakfast filled his heart with comfort.
Moments like these made him wish time would slow down because nothing felt more perfect than waking up to her care, her warmth, and the love woven into every dish she prepared for him.
"Hmm? What’s wrong, Ren?" Scarlett asked curiously as she put the rice on the table.
"My wife, I love you." He didn’t answer her question; instead, he expressed his deep love for her.
Scarlett was pleasantly surprised by his sudden expression of love, causing a tender smile to form on her lips.
"I love you too, husband." She kissed his cheek before sitting beside him, carefully scooping rice onto his plate and handing it to him with a gentle smile.
It may be a simple act, but it made his love for her grow even deeper because he could feel the depth of her affection in every small act of care.
"What time do you get off work today?" Ren inquired.
Instead of answering his question, she asked, "Why?"
"I want to go on a date with you." It had been a while since he had gone on a date alone with her because they had recently always gone with Lexie and Luna.
"I will finish my work as quickly as I can." Actually, she wanted to go on a date with him right away, but she could not neglect her work because it was related to her city and people.
Ren’s face broke into a smile after hearing her answer. "I will stop by your office at noon. If you are still busy, we can at least have lunch together there."
"Great idea!" she said, loving the thought of spending more time with him.
The smile on his face grew bigger when she suddenly ate her food happily.
’She is really cute!’
He said in his head.
As Ren enjoyed a peaceful morning with Scarlett, beyond the tranquil walls of Nightshire City, Kairos and the others steadily approached its outskirts.
The group consisted of around seventy people because Dan and the others had only recruited those who met the qualifications to join the Moon Organization.
"I can’t wait to meet our leader." A mature man named Devan spoke abruptly. "I really want to know if he is as incredible as you claim or not."
"Me too, brother Devan." A red-haired man named Raul added. "Dan even said he single-handedly took down more than thirty 3-star magical beasts."
He paused before continuing, "Killing two or three is still believable, but more than thirty? That sounds almost absurd."
Dan glanced at them before finally asking, "So, are you going to challenge our leader once you meet him?"
"I suggest you drop the idea." Kairos said, "Otherwise, you will regret it."
"Regret? Is he the type to kill his subordinates for challenging him?" Raul inquired.
"No. I’m sure he won’t kill you." Kairos answered as he shook his head. "But if you challenge him, you will experience something truly terrifying."
"Brother Kairos, I suddenly think we should let them challenge our leader." Elian suggested with a playful grin.
There were two reasons for this.
First, he wanted them to witness Ren’s extraordinary power firsthand. And lastly, he wanted them to experience the sensation of standing at death’s doorstep.
No!
He was not angry or annoyed with them.
They had already experienced it twice, so it was only fair for Devan and the others to go through it as well.
To put it simply, he was just messing with them.
Dan, who realized Elian’s intention, smirked and said, "Now that I think about it, your suggestion is actually great, brother Elian."
Kairos tapped Raul’s shoulder and said, "Don’t say I didn’t warn you."
"Go on, Brother Raul, Brother Devan! Challenge our leader!" the other awakeners cheered encouragingly.
Yet, behind their eager expressions, they chuckled inwardly because they knew how things would turn out.
Raul and Daven exchanged glances after seeing their reaction.
’They are acting strange all of a sudden, but let’s stick to our plan.’
They would not drop the idea because they were curious about the strength of their leader.
Several minutes later, they finally reached Nightshire City.
"State your name, city of origin, reason for visiting, and duration of stay." Lieutenant Zayne commanded.
The purple-haired woman responded, "My name is Rose. I’m from Herora City. I came to visit a friend named Dara and I will be staying in Nightshire City for three days."
Once the mage gave him a sign that she was not lying, Lieutenant Zayne allowed her to enter. "You may enter. Next!"
"City guard, I’m Dan." Dan introduced himself. "We are brother Ren’s subordinates."
Dan was not good at explaining everything, so Kairos helped him. "Brother Ren established an organization several days ago."
He began explaining to the city guards about the Moon Organization and how it was founded.
"Sister Scarl-"Kairos stopped his words halfway before finally correcting it. "We also met city mistress Scarlett at Moon Temple. If you allow us meet her, she can confirm that we are telling the truth."
"Or you could let us meet Brother Ren instead," Elian added.
"Ren? Moon Organization? City mistress?" a voice suddenly rang out.
Kairos and the others immediately turned their heads toward the source of the sound.
’A high-ranking troop?’
They saw a mature man with a friendly aura approaching them, his presence radiating warmth.
"Captain Noah..."
"Captain Noah..."
"Captain Noah..."
One by one, the city guards greeted him.
"Did you say you were Ren’s subordinates?" Captain Noah inquired.
"Yes." Kairos responded. freёnovelkiss.com
"Then, follow me. I will take you to him now." Captain Noah uttered.
"Thank you, Captain Noah." Dan and the others said in unison before finally following him from behind.
As they entered the city, a mix of amazement and confusion washed over them.
They were in awe because Nightshire City was grander and more breathtaking than they had imagined.
But they were confused to see several houses and businesses under reconstruction as if the city had recently been attacked.
Captain Noah knew what they had in mind, so he explained it immediately. "Over a hundred thousand magical beasts attacked our city several months ago, so it’s still under construction."
"Over a hundred thousand magical beasts?" Dan and the others said in surprise.
Ren only said he had killed a 3-star dragon, so they had no idea what had happened to Nightshire City several months ago.
"Yes." Captain Noah nodded. "Luckily, we had Ren. Otherwise, our city would have been destroyed, and we all would have died."
"I knew brother Ren is amazing!" Kairos praised Ren immediately.
"How did he save the city?" Raul asked curiously.
"Ren used magic, sat on a magnificent golden throne and killed all magical beasts." Captain Noah suddenly remembered how cool Ren was. "At that moment, he looked like a king. No! He looked like the Ruler of this world."
He had met kings and queens before, but Ren’s aura was more magnificent and awe-inspiring than theirs when he sat on the throne.
At that moment, he even felt an irresistible urge to kneel and swear his loyalty because Ren looked like the true king.
He thought something might be wrong with him, but when he asked the citizens, they confessed they had felt the same way.
"Sat on a magnificent golden throne?" An image suddenly appeared in Kairos’ mind.
’The leader must look very cool at that time.’
He suddenly felt sad because he hadn’t been there to witness the moment when Ren sat on the magnificent golden throne.
"Yeah," Captain Noah said. "He made their leader, a dragon, kneel before ending its life."
"Made the dragon kneel?" Raul was shocked because he had never heard of a human forcing a dragon to kneel before.
"Yes." Captain Noah responded, "He said kneel and a golden ray fell from the sky, forcing the dragon kneel on the ground."
"Then what? Then what?" Adrian asked excitingly.
"If you are still curious about it, you can ask him yourself as we have arrived at his house." Captain Noah responded. "Ren, there are people here claiming to be your subordinates."
