Chapter 1542.2: Holy Healing City and the White Witch
Soon, small villages began to come into Su Xiao's field of vision. Mostly in these villages, the locals were engaged in animal husbandry and they were not very hospitable to travelers, but if the traveler was willing to give a little money, they were not averse to providing the traveler with shelter in return.
After the group of one person, one dog, and one bull continued to move forward for 20 minutes, a magnificent city wall appeared in their field of vision. This wall was about a hundred meters high and in places there were traces of putty on it.
Judging by the damage done to this wall, some witches had clearly tried to destroy it more than once in the past.
Soldiers kept patrolling around the city wall. They were not wearing heavy armor, but light, but clearly very strong armor.
Looking at the wall of the city of Holy Healing from afar, it felt like you were looking at a mountain, while up close, the wall seemed to stretch straight into the sky.
It was hard to imagine how, with this level of technology in this world, they had built a wall that was a hundred meters high and more than twenty meters thick.
This is clearly something that ordinary people wouldn't be able to do.
As Su Xiao approached the city gate, he heard a commotion and various kinds of negotiations. After observing for a while, he found out that entering the Holy Healing City was much easier than he thought. At the entrance, you didn't have to pay any fees and so on, you didn't even have to pass any checks. Soldiers with old-fashioned shotguns in their hands stood on both sides of the city gate. Their eyes constantly checked every civilian who wanted to enter the city. As soon as they found someone suspicious, they immediately surrounded them and asked them to pass the appropriate check.
— To stand.
As soon as Su Xiao and his group approached the city gate, five soldiers armed with shotguns immediately approached him.
Amu didn't look very ordinary, to say the least, so they decided to check him out.
One of the soldiers took out a yellow crystal the size of an egg from his pocket. Inside this crystal, there was some kind of liquid that was similar in consistency to mercury.
Holding the crystal closer to Amu, he waited, but the liquid inside the crystal didn't react at all.
— Excuse me, you can enter the city, I wish you a good day and good luck, " the soldier said in a surprisingly polite tone and smiled at Amu, after which he and his group went back together and a serious expression appeared on his face again.
When Su Xiao was about to enter the city, he heard a commotion behind him.
— Slowly raise your hands above your head, don't think that we haven't been able to detect your incarnation!
The soldier's shout caught Su Xiao's attention.
— Hey, little brother, don't be so nervous, " a lazy female voice answered, and Su Xiao took a closer look at the woman.
A woman in a long off-the-shoulder dress and black silk gloves stood surrounded by soldiers. She carried a thin pipe in her hand, and long, wavy purple hair flowed over her bare shoulders.
— Five, four, three ... " The dozens of soldiers around her immediately started counting down in unison. When the countdown reached three, they simultaneously cocked their shotguns and aimed at the purple-haired woman.
— Ahhh, I give up — " the woman yawned, exhaled green smoke, and slowly raised her hands.
The guard commander raised his right hand, giving the order not to shoot yet, then took out a crystal from his pocket and slowly approached the purple-haired woman.
— Origin, affiliation, age, what you are wanted for, you have one minute.
This woman was obviously a witch.
— Aini Claudia, the white witch. As for the age, this is, of course, a secret. I am wanted, apparently, because of a tax issue. I came here to solve this problem, but because of the local beauty, I was forced to stay a little longer.
— Are you wanted because of a tax issue? The guard commander muttered, completely baffled. Today, for the first time, he heard that witches also paid taxes.
— The armor you and these brave men are wearing was designed by me a long time ago, and tax issues still give me a headache.
— Are you Miss Aini Claudia Frederica Saxton?" The guard commander asked with undisguised respect.
— The fact that you remember my full name is impressive, even I sometimes forget it.
— Ms. Aini, please present your identification card.
The guard commander's attitude changed 180 degrees in just an instant.
— Ah, I'd forgotten. Just a second, I'll find the ID card that your church gave me, it's not for nothing that I brought it with me this time, " the purple-haired woman folded her arms as she spoke.
Her black silk gloves contrasted sharply with her fair skin, and the picture that formed at this moment could make any man swallow his saliva.
Su Xiao carefully looked at this woman with purple hair.
He had stumbled upon a big shot.
