The previously shoved guard, lightly chuckled once he heard Lain’s questions, as he tapped on his helmet, and a 360 view of their current surroundings appeared in holographic form. Inside the hologram, all people within a circumference of five miles were shown, with the ring at the center of the circumference. Showing this, the shoved guard then started speaking, “This ring is an instrument that allows us to have a 360 view of its current surroundings, regardless of its distance from any nearby cities. It also gives us the ability to teleport to its location in less than a second with just a simple thought, in case any noble’s life is at risk.”

Soon after, the guard with the ring, quickly snapped his fingers, as the ring in his hand disappeared magically, before continuing where his fellow guard left off, “The ring has always been given to her, to ensure her protection, since she started leaving the city months ago. It is usually monitored, like all rings, by a team of specialist within the city, that are always ready to come to her rescue at a moment’s notice.”

Hearing his words, and seeing the vanishing 360 view hologram, Lain, and Hui Shi, couldn’t help but relax again, as it seemed their assumptions were wrong. Quickly apologizing, Hui Shi said, “I’m sorry, my brothers. Please forgive my previous actions.” as he bowed humbly to the guards, in relief, and humility.

Seeing the extremely divine being, bow down to them so humbly, the guards couldn’t find it in their hearts to hold a grudge against him, and one of them quickly said to Hui Shi in endearment “You're fine, my priest. It’s your duty to protect and look after the wellbeing of all children, in place of our divine god, Ensieth.”

At this point in time, a woman, who seemed to be the next in line at the gates walked up, as she greeted Hui Shi, with a sense of curiosity. “Our dearest priest of Ensieth. I may be mistaken, but it would seem that you were the one who rescued us from the ailment we suffered a few hours earlier. If so, please accept my graceful thanks. My name is Annette Duet, and I’m a hero of this city, that’s just returning from my arduous journey elsewhere.”

Hearing her words, Lain couldn’t help but think ‘What’s a hero?’ but he kept his thoughts to himself, as he gazed at the approaching young woman who looked to be around the age of 20. She was dressed in a red shirt, and a blue floral skirt. Her shoes were also blue in color, as they glowed slightly in the evening night due to the entirety of them being covered in light blue rune markings.

Her body exuded the look of bravery, as her sharp eyes, and slightly beautiful face made her look charming and brave. The parts of her body that could be seen, were all covered in strong layers of muscles, as though she’s been a battle hardened warrior her entire life.
