Chapter 1431

“H mm,” Gustaf clicked his tongue. “This isn’t how I imagined the fortress walls of one of the largest cities in the Strange Lands would look.”

Their group stopped near the central gates of Star Rain City. The place was almost no different from any number of cities in less developed regions, except that the queue was shorter and had a hundred people in it, maybe a hundred and fifty at the most. That was easily justified by the fact that despite the vastness of the Strange Lands, there were far fewer people living here than in any other mortal region. According to Lathea, there were no more than two million people in the city, which, by Dahanatan’s standards, was a mere trifle.

However, it didn’t matter that the fortress walls were only a couple of feet thick and a dozen feet high. In fact, the walls were made of a kind of stone that even the richest families of Dahanatan didn’t have enough money to buy.

“Just two million residents?” Hadjar squinted a little. “There is an internal area designated for far more people.”

Abraham nodded, calmly chewing on a blade of grass.

“The runes aren’t very well hidden,” Alba-udun said.

“What runes, dwarf?” Gustaf was carefully examining the wall. “I can’t see any runes here.”

“That’s because your human eyes are worse than a mole’s,” the dwarf snorted. “There are more runes there than in a mage’s textbook, powered by two sources at once: directly by the World River and... By Crystals of the Full Moon?”

“That’s right, honorable dwarf,” Lathea didn’t try to deny it.

“Hey! Did you hear that?” The dwarf pointed an apple at the Princess. “Honorable dwarf! From now on, that is how you must address me.”

“Of course, you furry bastard!” Itia smiled venomously. “You apple-eating halfling with hairy armpits.”

“I have beautiful armpits, woman. I can demonstrate!”

“Death is near!”

“No, Guy, we shouldn’t kill our little friend just yet.”

“I’m not your friend, dog! You, half-face, come here. Do you want to measure our strength? I’ll show you what an Udun is!”

Some kind of commotion started behind Hadjar, but he didn’t pay any attention to it. They couldn’t stop anywhere without the dwarf fighting someone. Usually, it was Guy or Gustaf, but sometimes Abraham also decided to work out the kinks in his old bones. Itia, as befits a wise woman, stayed away and then gave them healing ointments afterwards.

“Do you always have so much fun?” Lathea giggled a little.

Hadjar was even taken aback at first, but then he remembered her age. He turned around and looked at how Guy was trying to strangle the dwarf, grabbing him by the neck with his forearm, and how Albadurt was diligently punching the half-faced man in the stomach. Abraham, Gustaf, and Itia were making bets and cheering them on. Two of them had bet on the dwarf. Only the archer believed in Guy…

“Probably, yes,” Hadjar shrugged. “Great fun…”

By this time, the squad had already managed to approach the city guards, who were on patrol in front of some very flimsy gates.
