First Legendary Dragon: Starting With The Limitless System - Chapter 453

Chapter 453: Inside the City
‘A fitting name huh.’ He inwardly mused to himself.

The guard quickly verified with his fellow soldiers inside. Moments later, the guard nodded and promptly opened a smaller, more manageable side gate, pointing them inside respectfully,

“Welcome, Young Nobles. Many students from Thunderpeak Royal Academy have already arrived ahead of you. The demons haven’t attacked for about a week now so the students haven’t had the chance to fight against the demons yet. But the next wave won’t be far off. I suggest you quickly make your preparations. The city needs whatever help it can get.”

Orion nodded his head gratefully for the goodwill that the guard showed him and replied to him with a sincere smile, “Thank you for your efforts, and please continue protecting the city vigilantly.”

Stepping through the gates, Orion immediately noticed a faint aura scanning their bodies. He raised an eyebrow as he noticed that this was the same thing that was at the gate of Thunderpeak Royal Academy.

‘I see, so they also have this thing here? That’s good, at least the demons won’t be able to infiltrate here then.’ While thinking to himself, he completely stepped inside the city.

And inside, the atmosphere was very different than the broken scene outside. Within Blood Flame City, the atmosphere wasn’t as bleak as Orion and the others had anticipated.

On the other hand, the soldiers marched the roads in formations, heading towards the walls with heavy steps, but these heavy steps were also a way to make the citizens in the city rest assured about the danger that lay outside the city gates.

And the civilians weren’t idle as well, they provided supplies and provisions from the storerooms to the soldiers so they could distribute it to other soldiers. Their faces were tense yet filled with a resolute will to survive this disaster.

And after over a year of facing this situation, even the most timid people in the city had hardened their wills to fight against demons even if they were to die.

Fiora glanced around, softly commenting with mild admiration, “The people here are much more resilient than I thought. They seem to be adapting to the siege of the city and haven’t left like the others. They are quite united now.”

Rina nodded seriously, her expression showing respect, “Indeed. It seems the demons haven’t managed to shake their resolve, or rather the demons have shown them enough despair that they decided to fight against them.”

Orion nodded his head hearing their words, “The best quality about humans is their adaptability. Even in the harshest environments, they will find a way to survive. Otherwise, we would have long lost our lands to the other races if we didn’t have this adaptability.”

Rina and Fiora nodded their heads in understanding as Rina asked, “Then where should we head first?”

He thought for a bit and said, “Well, let’s first find Nyss, Arya and the others. They arrived here first. And if I remember correctly, this territory is under Duke Blackwell, so Nyss should have more details regarding the situation here. Let’s meet up before deciding.”

“How will we find them?” Fiora softly asked.

Orion lightly smiled, “They should get the news about our arrival soon, I don’t think those children of nobles won’t have the network to get the news haha. They have spies everywhere after all, and this area is under Nyss’ family, they should arrive here soon. Let’s head deeper in the city first, we should be able to meet up with the others.”

The other two giggled at his words, fully agreeing with him. Without wasting any time, the three of them headed deeper in the city.

Along the way, they saw that most of the shops were open but the business wasn’t doing very well these days. But the shop owners didn’t have much work to do so they were just swatting flies while sitting in their shops.

But the business of healers was booming. Half of the city was even suspecting that the healers had been praying day and night to the God of Light for this situation to continue so they could fill their pockets.

Orion also realized that he should learn some advanced healing spells from the Wood attribute. His Wood attribute was among the strongest in the world. And naturally his healing would be miles better than the healers of this city as long as it wasn’t a Tier 9 healer.

The reason he hadn’t learned any good healing ability was due to Arya and Felira. The two of them were the healers in the group and most of the time they were enough to heal the rest.

Especially Arya who had the Light Element. Her healing was truly unsurpassable by others. And there was no other Light Element Healer in the city as far as he knew, since Light Element users were as rare as phoenix feathers in this large Kingdom.

While thinking so many things to himself, Orion arrived at a deeper part of the city and there was a restaurant here. He raised an eyebrow and asked the two of them, “Do you want to eat something?”

Rina playfully said, “I remember someone saying that he will cook for the others to show them how good his cooking is.”

Orion wryly smiled, “Do you want me to cook here? I will feed you later, and I promise you won’t be disappointed. Let’s go eat for now.”

Fiora giggled hearing his words as the two of them followed after him and soon arrived in front of the restaurant. Orion raised his head to see the signboard on which was written: Scarlet Lily Pavilion.

‘Hmm, is the Scarlet name from Blood of the Blood Flame City? Seems like a local top restaurant.’ While inwardly musing to himself, he entered inside.

Soon, after a brief chat with the waiter, the three of them entered one of the private rooms while Orion also told the waiter that if someone came looking for him then he should tell them where he was.

He was expecting the others to get the news of his arrival but he didn’t know when they would arrive. So he asked the waiter just in case.

The three of them sat inside the private room, while Orion made a strange face and asked, “Why are the two of you sitting beside me? Isn’t there room in the front?”

Rina seriously replied with a straight face, “I think the others should be coming soon, so we are leaving space for them.”

Fiora quickly echoed with her, “Yes, we don’t want them to stand on the side.”

Orion looked at the two of them with amusement but didn’t comment, after all, who wouldn’t want to be surrounded with beauties.

The three of them looked at the menu and ordered some dishes. While Orion ordered nearly half of all the things on the menu. If he wasn’t afraid of taking too much time to eat, he would have ordered everything.

While Rina looked at Orion with amazement, “How did you fill yourself with the little food in the mansion, Master? I don’t think you can feel full with that little food.”

Orion helplessly sighed, he also knew this and that’s why he mostly ate the meatballs to fill himself up. Otherwise, if he started to eat his fill at the dining table then it would waste too much of his time as he might take hours just eating food each time.

He just replied, “I eat…” His lips twitched, for some reason he felt awkward to say meatballs, as if they might make fun of him for a long time for a small misunderstanding.
