Chapter 13

The arrogance of the city guard had completely vanished, and he hastily dropped the spear in his hand, lowering his head as if to kneel.

"R-r-respected Dragon Knight Sir, I, I truly deserve to die a thousand deaths."

After suddenly recognizing the other party, he immediately became anxious and uneasy, but a pair of hands stopped him from kneeling.

"Charlie, is it really necessary to do this?"

Lin Mo shook his head with a bitter smile; the other party's reaction was truly unexpected.

Time does not spare anyone. Charlie, who used to beat up the mayor's son with him, had now been worn down and become worldly.

"No, no, no, you are a great person now, how can I dare to offend you, Sir."

Three-Eyed Charlie was no longer the lawless young man he used to be. The gap between a Dragon Knight and a small person like him was like the difference between heaven and earth. The fact that the other party still remembered him made him feel honored.

"Never mind, how is Aunt Emma?"

Lin Mo thought of Three-Eyed Charlie's mother, a very kind-hearted woman.

After losing the mainstay of the family, Mrs. Emma had to raise young Charlie alone, and life was not easy for her.

"My mother passed away five years ago due to a fever."

Mentioning his mother, Three-Eyed Charlie's eyes immediately moistened.

He no longer doubted that the other party was his childhood friend, the town's famous orphan, Mo Lin.

"Alright, I need to rest in the town for a while. Come find me after you're off duty! I'll treat you to a meal. Here, this is the town entry tax!"

Lin Mo stuffed a Portland Republic silver coin into Three-Eyed Charlie's hand and patted his shoulder hard.

It was a decent living for his childhood friend to become a town guard.

"No, no, no, there's no need! How can I take the town entry tax from you!"

Charlie waved his hands, refusing to take it. For a city gate guard, whether to collect or not was entirely up to him.

"Take it, it's your duty. The extra can go towards drinks. As you said, I am a big person now, and I have money!"

Lin Mo's final words made Charlie rub his hands and laugh, as if they were back to their childhood days in the town.

"Alright, Mo Lin, I'll come find you after I'm off duty."

Charlie nodded at Lin Mo, gripped his spear tightly, and stood up straight, feeling excited.

Lin Mo and the Gemini sisters passed by him, crossing through the thick stone wall into Cedar Town.

"Three-Eyed Charlie! Who are they? Where are they from?"

A bowman on the stone wall shouted down, feeling puzzled by what had just happened at the town gate. Did this guy offend some big person?

"Tray, they are from the town, not outsiders."

Three-Eyed Charlie, holding his spear again, shouted back.

"Locals? I've never seen them before. Who are those two women?"

"Because you're a newcomer, of course you don't recognize him. Two women? Hmm, probably slaves!"

(Poor girls!)

"Alright, that big person just gave you a silver coin, you have to buy me a drink."

"Ah? You can see that from so far away? Damn, alright, no problem, you damn bowman!"

"Ha ha ha, a good bowman's eyes are as sharp as a black-feathered eagle's, ha ha ha!"

...

"Two guest rooms, hot water for bathing! Um, do you have any food?"

Lin Mo found the inn in the town with ease and casually threw a few silver coins on the counter in front of the innkeeper.

The innkeeper, Aimon, who looked very old, could not recognize the knight in front of him as the little thief who used to steal food from the kitchen.

"Yes, we have freshly baked wheat bread, ham pies, and cooked barbarian beef. For drinks, we have green fruit juice, soda, and green fruit wine. If you need them, I can quickly deliver these three dinners to your room."

The innkeeper Aimon, with his old and dim eyes, examined the five Portland Republic silver coins in front of him. Their actual value was even slightly higher than the silver coins of the Sylan Empire.

Based on the information from these silver coins, he was curious about how these three young people managed to cross the Ice Rock Mountains and the Green Mist Forest to come from the Portland Republic to the Sylan Empire.

Of course, as an innkeeper who had seen many merchants, he kept these thoughts to himself.

"I understand. Send the hot water to the room first. I'll go out for a bit and come back to order food. By the way, save at least twenty servings of wheat bread and barbarian beef for me. Just leave some green fruit juice for the drinks."

Lin Mo took the keys to two superior guest rooms from the innkeeper and handed one to Li Muxin, the older sister of the Gemini sisters.

The inn in Cedar Town, which looked old on the outside, had relatively clean and tidy rooms inside.

"Sure, Sir Knight!"

The innkeeper hurriedly agreed.

Twenty servings of food meant that the other party was undoubtedly a powerful warrior.

As a low-ranking merchant, the innkeeper naturally had to be more careful in serving them.

"You two go rest first. My room is next door. Hot water will be sent over soon. I'll go get you some clothes. Camouflage gear is too conspicuous in the town."

Lin Mo gave a few instructions to Li Muxin and Li Mubing, then left the inn to find a tailor's shop in the town, planning to get some ordinary girl's clothes for the sisters to replace their digital camouflage tactical gear. The measurements of the two girls had already been scanned and stored by the "Dragon General" reconnaissance system.

The "Dragon General" armor, which was similar in style to knight's heavy armor, was less likely to arouse suspicion. Combined with Lin Mo's Dragon Knight identity, others would likely think it was a special steel secret armor for Dragon Knights.

No one could imagine that this armor, which had defensive capabilities comparable to steel secret armor, was surprisingly light.

Lin Mo's luck was good. The tailor's shop in Cedar Town had two sets of female warrior clothes that were suitable for the Gemini sisters, originally bought by the owner from a big city as a clothing template.

He didn't haggle much and bought the two sets of clothes, along with some other clothes, including his own.

Even if he always acted like a knight, there was no need to wear tactical armor as daily clothing.

Just as he returned to the inn with a burlap bag full of clothes, he saw a carriage with a noble emblem blocking the entrance to the inn. Lin Mo recognized it as the emblem of the Bart family, the lord of Cedar Town.

Limited to the rank of a mere noble, the emblem on the carriage was very simple, but also very easy to recognize.

Could the Bart family be looking for someone at the inn? This thought flashed through Lin Mo's mind and was quickly dismissed. At the same time, he saw Three-Eyed Charlie walking over from a distance.

He had already changed out of his old soldier's leather armor and was wearing a set of old but clean coarse clothes.

"Hey! Charlie! Did you finish your shift so quickly?"

Lin Mo waved at Charlie. The sky was gradually darkening, and it was almost dinner time.

"Hey, Mo Lin, yes! Rock came to take over early!"

Seeing Lin Mo, Charlie's face lit up with joy, and he quickened his pace.

In fact, he had offered to buy drinks to get the next shift's soldier to take over early.

"Welcome to Cedar Town, respected Sir Knight."

A well-dressed middle-aged man suddenly appeared from the side of the carriage, blocking Lin Mo's path.
