319: Chapter 319: Just Highlight Enthusiasm 319: Chapter 319: Just Highlight Enthusiasm Zhao Guang sighed. It seemed the charm brought by his Enchantress bloodline was innate and all-encompassing. If there was a chance, perhaps he should let Xi Fei learn some vocal skills—at least change her voice to avoid trouble. Hearing Xi Fei’s voice, Zhao Guang was reminded of many anime works. All kinds of trouble, various kinds of being targeted and plotted against—hopefully, his side wouldn’t turn out that way. “Indeed, this is Olivera. Back in the day, the Empire mobilized over a thousand Earth Element Mages and a hundred thousand workers, spending several years to build it. Just this wall alone cost a considerable fortune,” Ocoro said to Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang looked into the distance, and from his angle, it was hard to see the edge at a glance. And the height of the walls, he estimated, were actually over a hundred meters tall. Such towering walls could not be seen on Earth. Even buildings over a hundred meters tall seemed scarce. Indeed, some things are fundamentally incomparable. Without the help of Magic Users, it would have been absolutely impossible to create such massive structures with the level of production in this world. Even if they were somehow built by force, the country’s finances would likely go into paralysis. “Come on, the surprise I have for you is just ahead,” Ocoro said to Zhao Guang. Although he had been responding to Xi Fei just now, Ocoro was actually speaking to Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang had long noticed that Ocoro didn’t think much of Xi Fei, the Enchantress Slave. When the group reached the base of the city wall, Zhao Guang felt an urge to cover his face. It was so embarrassing, incredibly embarrassing. “How about it? It’s quite the surprise, right? I’ve taken those art pieces you gave me and elevated them to the extreme,” said Ocoro. Indeed, it was pretty much what he had expected. A crowd was ahead, holding bouquets made of who knows what, constantly shaking them and shouting something. Two burly men, their bodies painted with who knows what, were holding up two banners high. One read, “Warmly Welcome the Great Artist Ocoro’s Return.” The other read, “Warmly Welcome the Artist and Instructor Zhao Guang.” Good grief, his own name had actually been put up there; he had been completely thrown into the pit by this guy. But seeing the smile on Ocoro’s face, what could he possibly say? Social death, he truly experienced social death, feeling a peak of embarrassment. For the first time, Zhao Guang cursed why his eyesight had to be so good, asking himself why his vision had improved after completing the Battle Skill for super-speed recovery. How he wished he couldn’t see what was happening before him, to at least be able to deceive himself. Looking at how these guys had dressed themselves up, he didn’t even know what to make of their costumes. And those in the front, they’re supposed to be maids, right? They’re all dressed in maid outfits. He didn’t know which book he had provided had a picture that Ocoro remembered so well. But you should at least let the girls wear them; what’s the meaning of a bunch of big men doing this? Then there’s the fake stockings made of who knows what material, with hairs poking through them, an eyesore, truly an eyesore. At this moment, Zhao Guang felt like his eyes were about to pop out of shock. But that crowd seemed very happy, joyfully shouting something continuously. With disorganized ranks and occasional collisions, the scene was nothing but chaos. Yet there were still quite a few onlookers, all pointing and commenting. Zhao Guang didn’t even want to hear what they were saying. “Let’s go, they’re all so enthusiastic, let’s hurry up and get over there.” Ocoro, with a look of excitement on his face, walked forward, and then the splendid battle squad followed. Zhao Guang had no choice but to be swept along with them. After all, it wasn’t he who was moving, but the horse he was riding on. Zhao Guang especially envied Xi Fei and Jeana, as the two of them were able to wrap themselves up tightly. Hiding in the back, they didn’t have to face this scene or worry about being recognized. “Look, it’s Sir Ocoro and Knight Zhao Guang!” “Are they the ones who came up with the new art form? Finally, we get to see them.” “What new art! I think it’s disgusting. My wife has even started learning it these past few days, boo hoo...” Great, this human body art, if the women in someone’s family picked it up, only they knew how uncomfortable it was. And you couldn’t even argue with them; if you were dragged into it as well, there would indeed be no end to your tears. “Great artist, great artist,” a crowd started to chant on the side. The chanting grew more uniform and louder, to the point where the entire city could hear it. Because of the commotion here, more and more people noticed and came over to watch. By the time they entered the city, there were already countless people gathered on both sides of the city streets, looking as if they were offering a welcoming line. Ocoro was walking in the front, waving at everyone he saw, with a beaming smile on his face. It was Zhao Guang, however, who felt like he was about to die of embarrassment, with his head lowered, expressionless. Ocoro was moved, what a great brother, to lower his head in the face of such a scene just to let him grab the spotlight. He resolved to properly thank Zhao Guang later. Walking on, the procession suddenly came to a stop. Zhao Guang lifted his head and saw a meticulously dressed fat man in front of them, standing with an air of arrogance and stroking his small mustache, his haughty demeanor unabashed. “You must be Lord Ocoro and Knight Zhao Guang. I am Baron Babaza, the Court Etiquette Officer. Follow me to the Royal Palace for an audience,” he said. Babaza turned and walked away, not giving the two a chance to speak. “What is this guy’s deal, isn’t his attitude a bit too arrogant?” Ocoro whispered in a low voice, “The people from the Royal Palace, these are the nobles who serve the King directly. They have no lands or merits to their name, but they have the favor of the King, and local lords must yield to them. Although they’re not particularly capable, their ability to stir up trouble is formidable.” Zhao Guang understood, “Got it, they’re like eunuchs or something.” Ocoro didn’t know what a eunuch was, but seeing Zhao Guang’s expression, he was sure he understood. Ocoro then said to the others, “You go report to the barracks first, then wait for orders at my house.” The housekeeper promptly bowed and led the rest away. After all, going to the Royal Palace wasn’t something they could do with so many soldiers in tow—it was absolutely not permitted. In the end, only Zhao Guang and Ocoro followed Baron Babaza, heading towards the Royal Palace. Contrary to Zhao Guang’s expectations, the Royal Palace didn’t look grand at all. Though it took up a large area, it appeared very unassuming overall. You could say, it looked like a fortress built within the city.
