Chapter 803: Chapter 679 Silver City-State_3

…

The setting sun on the horizon gradually disappeared.

Nightfall.

Almost on cue, as everyone caught sight of the outline of the Silver City-State, the sky had already turned completely dark.

As they approached the City-State, the huge group of several dozen people also dispersed, not planning to enter the city with them, except the Senior Officer who continued to follow Xu Shuo.

The two of them did not enter through the main city gate either.

It was somewhat sneaky.

“Sorry, the city has been on high alert recently, even a slight disturbance could attract the attention of some interested parties, I could only trouble you.”

The Senior Officer led Xu Shuo in through a side entrance, apologizing as they walked.

Xu Shuo looked around and simply nodded in response.

The Silver City-State was different from other city-states in the mainland; not only were the city walls extremely thick, the architecture here was predominantly in a robust and majestic style, and the buildings were generally very tall, the tallest reaching over a dozen stories.

In other city-states, the tallest buildings were only about five or six stories, and those were mostly luxurious castles.

But here, it seemed all buildings were single-story, standing tall like columns.

It even had a somewhat modern architectural style of later generations.

“The Far North has snow all year round; if the buildings are not constructed tall enough, I suppose when you wake up from sleeping, you might find both the building and its inhabitants submerged in snow.”

The Senior Officer saw him observing the buildings and took the initiative to explain.

Xu Shuo nodded.

The layer of snow here was indeed very thick, but the streets didn’t show much accumulation of snow, presumably they were cleared at set times every day.

By the time Xu Shuo walked from the city tower to the Silver Castle, his body was already covered with a thick layer of snow, the white snowflakes almost blending seamlessly with his silver hair.

The harsh environment, coupled with the need to fend off the attacks of Magical Beasts.

The people of the Far North truly have it tough.

No wonder the Duke of Silver’s family could no longer tolerate it, stationed here for hundreds of years without being allowed to leave, meaning their descendants would have to endure such sufferings generation after generation.

Although their loyalty to the Guardian Empire is undeniable, after hundreds of years of daily repetition, even the warmest blood could be frozen by the cold of the Far North.

More importantly, the Varo Royal Family didn’t treat them right.

If the Far North had received more support, it probably wouldn’t have led to the Duke of Silver’s dissatisfaction and rebellion.

…

After Xu Shuo entered the Silver Castle, he still hadn’t seen the Duke of Silver, but was first taken by a maid to a guest room to change and shake off the snow.

Meanwhile.

A few kilometers away from the Silver City-State.

The Order of the Sun Knights, who were a step behind, spurred their horses and also managed to arrive here just before nightfall, and they were filled with rage.

The following Silver Shield Legion stayed silent behind them, showing no intention of ridiculing them.

They had already been stopped once before.

Of course, it wasn’t good to add fuel to the fire again.

But as they neared the city gate, the officer leading the Silver Shield Legion hesitated, considering how to advise them to conceal their tracks.

Zuo Fang took the initiative to halt the Sun Knights following behind.

“Disperse into the city, find a hostel to stay in at will, and do not make contact with the Church. I will personally go to the Duke’s castle to ensure the Pope’s safety,” Zuo Fang said with a serious expression.

“Yes!”

The Order of the Sun Knights obeyed the order.

Although everyone was stifling anger and worry, no one objected to the Chief Knight’s command and immediately dispersed.

The Silver Shield Legion also breathed a sigh of relief.

The clergy from the Holy Court really were somewhat easier to speak to, cultured and refined. Otherwise, with the bold customs of the North, even if they ultimately didn’t fight, they probably would have cursed them all the way.

After all, it seemed that the Pope from the Church of Light was inappropriately asked to leave–this information was accidentally revealed during their standoff.

Just as the Order of the Sun Knights felt towards the Pope of Light.

As did the Silver Shield Legion towards their Duke of Silver.

So empathizing with each other, the Silver Shield Legion dared not make a sound along the way, fearing they might provoke trouble.

Who would have thought that the Pope himself really did come to the Far North!
