After some time, we returned to the road leading to the town from the maple forest.

Reed looked up and nodded.

Get off here.

We're quite close to the town now, and I was worried the driver might get too close, so I called the security guard over.

Red put his heart in the pocket of his twilight coat, picked up the large knife that was beside him, and went downstairs.

When the driver saw Reed get off, he ran off like the plague, immediately taking the horse and galloping away.

It's still a bit of a journey to the town, and the road there is quite long, so there are many people around.

At first, some people found it strange that the carriage had suddenly stopped, but then they saw Reed, who was 1.8 meters tall, step out of the carriage.

Gradually, it seemed that everyone around him noticed Reed.

Wow, who is he? He looks so handsome!

"Look at the bandage covering his eyes, how is he walking?"

"His big sword looks really strong, and he lifted it with just one hand!"

"Could he be a Tier 1 adventurer?"

"Never heard of it! But it looks really strong!"

"Damn it, I can't even see their face! They could at least take off their masks!"

Ever since Reed got off the bus, he could hear whispers and murmurs from the people around him, and more and more people came over.

Many of them were adventurers, and they were all surprised and dumbfounded when they saw Reed's attire.

In their eyes, Reed was like an incredibly powerful adventurer; the strongest equipment they themselves possessed was iron armor.

However, Reed's equipment looked completely different from his own.

Furthermore, Reed's eyes were bandaged and he was wearing a mask, and the scars inside could be seen through the gaps in the bandages.

He also wore some strange accessories, making him instantly recognizable as a master.

"He's so intimidating, who is he?"

"I don't know! Could they have been sent by the king?"

"It doesn't look like it. What king's warriors would be dressed like that!"

"Yeah, it feels like a mess."

"Look, he has a heart sticker on his head."

"Not only are there hearts, but also more than a dozen round yellow things!"

"That big sword he's holding looks so impressive! Could it be a divine weapon?"

Reed ignored the people, shouldered his knife, and walked straight into the town.

Then, a group of people followed behind Reed, all curious about Reed's equipment and Reed himself.

But no one dared to approach Reed and ask him anything; they kept their distance, yet remained curious.

At this moment, below the city wall...

"Have any lawbreakers been spotted today?" a girl in armor asked.

"Reporting, Captain! None at the moment."

The woman called Captain had blonde hair, wore iron armor, and stared sternly at the soldiers in front of her.

The soldiers stood ramrod straight, attracting curious glances from passersby.

The captain's name is Anlisa. She is a soldier captain who was promoted to captain due to her outstanding personal qualities and active combat performance.

He's usually not strict, often joking around and has a good relationship with his friends. He only puts on a serious face when training or in combat.

The question now is whether the soldiers have discovered anything wrong, and the soldiers unanimously answer no.

Aside from that doorman, he was the same doorman who let Reed in.

The security guard had already told the team leader about it, and subsequently, the team leader punished himself by making him clean the toilets for a week.

The captain called them over to check if the bandaged man, whom the gatekeeper had mentioned, had gotten into any trouble after he came in.

The captain breathed a sigh of relief after everyone answered no.

Just as the captain was about to announce the dismissal and return to duty, a soldier suddenly spoke up.

"Captain, look ahead! Isn't that the bandaged man you were talking about?"

All the soldiers, including the captain, and even the bystanders, looked into the distance.

After everyone looked over, they all wore expressions of surprise or awe.

Even the captain was somewhat surprised, his eyes widening slightly.

That man was Reed, in the soldiers' eyes...

A powerful figure stood ahead, carrying a large sword on his shoulder and wearing a mysterious yet dashing coat.

His body was covered in various spoils of war, and the bandages around his eyes revealed the scars of a powerful warrior. The mask he wore added to his mystique.

After a stunned silence of more than ten seconds, the soldiers finally reacted.

"That person looks really strong!"

"Is he from the Black Guild?"

"Are you blind? What about him do you see that makes him look like someone from the Black Guild?"

"Tell me, how did he get his eye injured? It's wrapped in such a thick bandage."

"Shouldn't we be asking him how he saw it?"

"I've heard that some truly powerful people are blindfolded."

As Reed drew closer, he soon arrived at the city gate.

Reed planned to make himself an information sheet first, but after looking at it from different angles...

Why are all the security guards hiding to the side? Oh right, it's my fault!

Reed suddenly looked at the group of soldiers, his face turned towards them.

The soldiers unconsciously took several steps back; if their captain hadn't been there, they probably would have walked away.

I don't know why I feel a strange fear, a strong sense of oppression, but I just don't know why!

The soldiers all stepped back a few paces, except for the captain.

The captain is also suffering, but he's holding on and not backing down.

He clenched his teeth so tightly that sweat almost poured out.

The captain suspected the other party might be acting maliciously; was this the bandaged man the security guard mentioned?

Reed looked at the group of soldiers and backed away, somewhat speechless.

Those eyes spotted a beautiful blonde woman who wasn't retreating with the group of soldiers, but instead occupying a spot; she looked like a squad leader!

Reed was also planning to ask how to get those soldiers' information sheets, but judging from their cowardly behavior, he figured he'd be terrified if he even went over there.

The blonde woman didn't back down, which means she's on the right track; she can just ask him directly.

Then Reed, carrying his large sword, walked step by step towards Anlisa.

Anlisa looked at Reid, who had suddenly walked over, took a step back, and said in a trembling voice, "W-what are you going to do!"

Anlisa was finding it increasingly difficult to bear the oppressive atmosphere, while the soldiers around her almost huddled together in fear.

When Reed heard the other person say "What?", he figured he could answer that himself.

"How do I get the information sheet?" Reed's voice was somewhat heavy because he was wearing a mask.

This makes it sound particularly oppressive and threatening.

Anlisa trembled upon hearing this, completely losing her previous imposing demeanor.

Now I suddenly want to walk but I can't; I can't move my legs!

Anlisa's voice trembled slightly as she swallowed.

"Are you here to get an information sheet?" Anlisa wanted to confirm again that the person in front of her really wasn't here to cause trouble.

Reed didn't reply after hearing this; instead, he stuck the large sword he was carrying on his shoulder into the ground.

This sudden movement startled the onlookers, soldiers, and captain; those with a weaker constitution had already run several meters away.

Anlisa was also startled by Reed's action and took several steps back.

Just when everyone thought Reed was about to attack, he appeared empty-handed in front of Anlisa.

"I'm here to get an information sheet," Reed repeated.

Reed felt the other person was too nervous and hadn't heard him clearly, so he simply put down the dagger to avoid startling them.

But to everyone's surprise, this action terrified the others, and Anlisa was especially badly shaken, her forehead covered in sweat.

To Anlisa, those words sounded like a warning and a threat.

Anlisa felt that her answer had angered the other party, but the other party seemed to have let her off the hook.

I'm giving myself another chance. If I answer the other person wrong again now, they'll probably kill me.

Thinking that she might die, Anlisa hurriedly replied.

"Letters and information sheets can be processed at the Information Department."

“Take me there,” Reed said.

Anlisa turned around immediately, and the soldiers shook their heads after seeing her turn around.

Anlisa pointed to a soldier and said, "Take...this gentleman with you."

The soldier being pointed at shook his head frantically, "I...I can't! Captain, I have an emergency! My grandma is about to give birth, I have to go back!"

The soldier told a ridiculous lie and immediately started running into the town.
