Chapter 914 Mist Guards
Lin Fan followed the Mist Guards to what seemed to be a bar.
As he observed this bar for a bit, he found that the ones that came in and out of the bar were all Mist Guards as well.
There were only a few people in normal clothes that came in and out of the bar, but it didn’t seem like there were that many of them.
As for the aura that these people had…
It was clear that anyone who could meet with the Mist Guards were quite powerful and influential.
The weakest among them were in the Foundation Realm.
There were even a few in the Qi Condensation Realm.
Then when he had Greeny follow those people, he found that they were people that were influential in Weeping Mist City as well. These were people that seemed to have a certain status in Weeping Mist City, which was why the Mist Guards were willing to meet with them privately.
In terms of power, Lin Fan met the criteria.
It could even be said that he far surpassed the criteria since he was much stronger than all those that had met with the Mist Guards.
The only problem was that he was a stranger in this Weeping Mist City.
If they didn’t want to talk to him because of this, it wasn’t as if he would be able to force them to talk.
The only thing that he could do was find someone that would vouch for him in Weeping Mist City so he could approach the Mist Guards.
As this thought passed through his mind, Lin Fan couldn’t help giving a sigh.
That was because this was the situation that he had been trying to avoid this entire time.
He already knew of someone that could introduce him to the Mist Guards if necessary, but he didn’t want to contact that person. After all, based on his dealings with people in similar positions before, it wasn’t always a good thing to contact that person.
At the same time, Lin Fan wanted to hide his presence here in Weeping Mist City for as long as possible.
The one that he was referring to was naturally the city lord of Weeping Mist City.
Since Weeping Mist City was one of the cities under the Mu Empire, it could be said that Lin Fan as the envoy of the Mu Empire was the city lord’s superior.
Since the Mist Guards were an organization that were attached to Weeping Mist City, it could be said that he was their superior as well by extension. So as long as he went through the city lord, it would be easy to accomplish what he wanted to accomplish.
The only thing was that Lin Fan didn’t really want to go through the city lord.
In the end, he just couldn’t think of a single way to avoid this and headed to the City Lord Manor.
The City Lord Manor of this Weeping Mist City was actually even smaller than the Mist Guard headquarters. The moment that Lin Fan saw this, he couldn’t help slightly knitting his brows.
The difference in influence between the city lord and the Mist Guards could be clearly seen. If the Mist Guards had any other thoughts about the Mu Empire, then it would seem like there might be some trouble fermenting in the depths of this Weeping Mist City.
Since Lin Fan had the mark of an envoy from the Mu Empire, he was able to easily enter the City Lord Manor.
It even seemed as if they were very glad to see him as the city lord didn’t take long to meet him.
With the way that the city lord ran in, it was almost as if he had rushed over to receive Lin Fan.
Then when he came in, there was an excited and happy look on his face when he saw Lin Fan. It was almost as if he was meeting his idol with the way that he looked at Lin Fan after coming in.
The city lord then asked, “If I may, can I see the envoy token?”
Lin Fan thought that this was normal since the city lord would have his doubts of his identity, so he took it out. But while he was doing so, he couldn’t help feeling that there was something strange about the way that the city lord had asked this.
It sent a chill down his spine seeing the eager look on the city lord’s face.
But he still held out the envoy token for the city lord to look at it.
The expression kept changing on the face of the city lord, but it didn’t seem like a bad change. It seemed like he was going through different stages of excitement when he saw this envoy token.
Then after a long silence, the city lord said, “Sir envoy, if there’s anything that you need, please feel free to tell me. Our Weeping Mist City would be honoured to do anything for the Mu Empire.”
Lin Fan couldn’t help being a bit put off when he saw the city lord like this.
He really seemed like he was too enthusiastic and eager to help, which made him feel that it was strange.
After all, there was no local ruler that would be happy to have their superior come down and boss them around.
They liked their little kingdoms and they didn’t like anyone interfering.
But that wasn’t how it was with this city lord of Weeping Mist City.
After a long silence, Lin Fan finally said, “I need to have a talk with the Mist Guards, I was hoping that you could help me contact them.”
“The Mist Guards?” The city lord slowly said in a strange voice.
Lin Fan slightly narrowed his eyes and prepared himself for whatever was about to come, but it didn’t go the way that he thought it would go.
“Of course, let’s go and see them right now. They should be at the bar relaxing after work.” The city lord didn’t waste any time as he stood up and headed towards the door, while also looking back at Lin Fan to see if he was following.
Lin Fan slowly stood up seeing this and followed the city lord, but there was a very strange feeling that filled him when he saw the city lord like this.
The city lord didn’t seem to mind at all that he was following slowly as he waited for Lin Fan to catch up every time. Even though he could see that Lin Fan was hesitant, the city lord seemed like he was still filled with excitement.
Lin Fan had the same confused feeling as he followed the city lord.
Eventually, they arrived at the same bar that Lin Fan had followed the Mist Guards to previously.
It seemed that the city lord was indeed sincere about what he said since he had led him to the right place.
But Lin Fan still couldn’t understand why the city lord was this sincere.
When they went into the bar, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
The ones that were sitting inside the bar were those that wore the uniform of the Mist Guards and it didn’t seem like they were happy to see outsiders entering their bar.
That was until they saw that it was the city lord that was here.
As soon as they saw that it was the city lord, they all went back to their own matters. It didn’t seem like they cared about Lin Fan who was with the city lord at all.
The city lord didn’t mind the way that all of the Mist Guards looked at him as he said, “Sir envoy, please follow me. I’ll take you to see the captain of the Mist Guards right now.”
Lin Fan looked around the room with a strange look before slowly nodding in agreement. Read exclusive content at empire
But as he followed the city lord into the bar, he also looked around the room just in case.
He didn’t know what to expect from this, so he wanted to make sure that he had a way out just in case something did happen.
Only it turned out that he was overthinking things.
It turned out that there was no need for this.
After walking for a bit, they arrived at the back of the bar where there was a private room.
The city lord knocked once before opening the door.
When they walked in, the ones that were in the room looked up at the two of them walking in before saying with smiles, “City lord, it’s a rare surprise to see you here. Normally you always turn down our offers to have a drink.”
The way that they said this was as if they were close friends with the city lord.
But then again, with the status that the Mist Guards had in Weeping Mist City, it wasn’t strange that they would be close to the city lord.
The city lord just said with a smile, “Well, it’s not as if I want to see your ugly mugs everyday, but I have a special reason for coming today.”
The Mist Guard members that were in a room raised a brow when they heard this.
It didn’t seem like they minded how the city lord spoke to them, it seemed that they were curious why he said this.
So they all turned to look at Lin Fan who was following the city lord.
Seeing this, the city lord said with a smile, “This is sir envoy from the Mu Empire.”
