Cheater: Second Sky Adventure

79. The Strangeness of the Guards.

By horse-drawn carriage, they were about to leave for the city of Mainter. While Leo will use his own horse to head to the capital.

All the preparations were done and they were preparing to leave.

"we're leaving now. Don't forget what we talked about yesterday. I hope you can take good care of all that." Leo again reminded them to do the plan that had been laid out.

"sir doesn't have to worry. Just focus on your journey. Everything in this city we'll take seriously."

"alright! We're leaving!"

Leo and the group set off for the city of Mainter. But before leaving, Leo had a glance towards Phinix who looked moody.

With eyes staring at each other, Leo smiled and that made Phinix smile too.

The speed of the horse is getting faster. And the distance from Phinix made him only able to see the departure of Leo with a feeling of disappointment.

'may you be well sir!'

*

Leo who rides a horse alone moves at moderate speed. That was so that the horse carriage carrying the pregnant mother was not too much shaken.

But that makes their journey longer.

Because usually, the trip from Kenji to Mainter city only takes one day and one night.

They had to spend the night on the road. Although several times they had to face monster attacks, but Leo very easily overcame them.

"i didn't expect you to be so good at using swords. Although I don't know which sword stream you're using."

Father was amazed by Leo's movement in using the sword. With very simple movements, Leo is able to defeat the monsters quickly and precisely.

"right! Your sword moves are very different from your father's. Do you have a teacher?"

She also takes pride in the ability of Leo she sees.

"ahaha... I have no teacher at all. I only remember the movements of someone I've seen. So I created a movement that was almost the same as that person."

Leo laughed awkwardly as he answered their questions. Until they decide to rest.

The next day they leave to continue their journey. Until the afternoon they arrived at the entrance of the city.

A guard checked the identification of everyone who was about to enter the city. Until he is not focused and checks Leo who is still on the horse.

"identifying mark?" the guard extended a hand.

Leo immediately took out his adventurer card and gave it to the guard.

The guard immediately received the Leo card and saw the card.

After he checked Leo's card, the guard was immediately shocked. He became shaky as he held the card.

Then another guard who was the leader in the gate squad. Seeing if the inlet current came to a halt, he immediately came to check what was going on.

He came and saw the origin of the problem. He approached the guard who was trembling to check on the guild leo.

"hey! Why did the queue stop?"

The guard who checked Leo's card immediately responded to the guard captain's shout.

"ahs... The captain! I.this!" without saying much, the guard immediately gave Leo's guild card to the captain of the guard.

The captain took the card and checked it.

And just like the reaction of the initial guard, the captain of the guard was also shocked by what he was holding.

The guard captain swallowed the saliva. Slowly and with trembling hands, the guard captain raised his head to be able to clearly see the owner of the card.

His eyes were fixed with Leo's eyes.

"what's wrong?" Leo was curious about those who were still long checking his cards.

The two guards laughed awkwardly.

"ahaha... There's nothing. Please."

The captain of the guard immediately returned Leo's card. And let Leo enter the city.

The father, who felt that if the examination took too long, opened the window and asked Leo.

Hearing the father's voice, Leo immediately turned his head and answered the father's question.

"It's done!"

The guards knew that the man in the carriage was Donovan. Son-in-law of the Meiter family.

Leo immediately entered followed by father and mother.

But I stopped for a moment to show her the identification card.

"ahs.. No need sir. You can go straight into town!"

"ooo... Yes already!"

They continue the journey with Leo who is curious about the attitude of the guards.

"the captain's sure, if he's the real Leonardo Donovan?"

"i was doubtful at first too. But when I checked the card, it wasn't black. Except in red. And then again Mr. Donovan also called him Leo. That's an explanation that he's the real Leonardo Donovan."

The guards' talks were immediately halted and they continued their work.

Leo, father, and mother arrive at the Meiter family residence.

A guard immediately went to inform Leo's arrival to the head of the family.

Diego Meiter who was doing his job immediately left all that and went to see his grandson.

"Leo! You finally visit again. I thought you'd forgotten your brother."

Leo got off the horse and walked over to grandfather.

"grandfather thinks too strange! there's no way I can forget about Grandpa! I haven't been here for a long time because I've been so busy!" answer Leo.

Mom and Dad get off the train. With the help of the father who keeps the mother in balance, the mother walks slowly.

"uhuh... I told you not to go out, right? What if something happens to my granddaughter?" grandfather sighed in response to this behavior of his son and daughter-in-law.

Hearing Grandpa's words, mom didn't accept. "so dad doesn't care about me?"

"uh.. That's not what I meant. I must be worried about you too." Grandpa defended himself.

"what about me?" dad opened his voice.

With a look of indifferent eyes, the grandfather replied, "you're dead I don't care!"

"haaah.. Cruel as ever."

"Already! comeon in. It's dark soon. Don't let Liana and her baby-to-be get cold!"

They go inside.

Then Leo as usual was in Diego's study.

"you're always here. Grandpa so can't focus on doing grandpa's job."

Grandfather was disturbed by the presence of Leo who always brought news, problems, and problematic ideas.

"huhah... I just want to talk to Grandpa."

Diego's feeling is already bad when Leo wants to talk to him about something.

"uhuh.. What'sthat?"

"what happened in this town?"

Leo was curious about the attitude of the guards who looked frightened after seeing his guild card.

"what's wrong?"

"so when the gatekeepers saw my guild card, they looked terrified. It's strange considering they didn't get that way."

Diego tries to remember things related to Leo.

Until he remembered something that happened in the guild.

"ahaha... You'll know for yourself."
