After a long explanation that this was a task that had been given to me by Ye Tian Xie, Lin Fan was finally allowed to leave Dungeon City.
It really was hard convincing them to allow me to leave, but Lin Fan was able to convince them in the end.
Mainly because…
“It will make me stronger. There’s something there that will allow me to become stronger.”
It was only when Lin Fan said this that they allowed him to leave, even though they were still angry at him about the wedding matter. However, they were able to understand that this was an important matter since there was nothing that mattered more than becoming stronger.
Though before leaving, they did have to ask.
“Are you sure that he can be trusted?”
It seemed that they still didn’t trust Ye Tian Xie, but that wasn’t surprising since it was hard to trust Ye Tian Xie.
Even Lin Fan found it a bit hard to trust him, but…
There was nothing that could be done since he was a willing ally.
In this world where it seemed that everyone was against us, a willing ally was a rare resource. So if they didn’t at least take his hand for now while it didn’t seem dangerous, then they would be missing out.
If there was danger in this trip, then at least he would be the only one that would be in danger.
So Lin Fan just told them, “I trust him for now, but that can change in the future.”
Yue Lan and Mu Bao Bao who sent him off nodded in agreement, even though there were worried looks in their eyes.
After leaving the city, the first thing that Lin Fan did was bring out Igneel and head off.
The place that he was going to wasn’t that far from Dungeon City, so it didn’t take long for Igneel to arrive.
The place that he was going was actually in the Mu Empire, it was another city that wasn’t that far from Dungeon City. This was a city that was known as Diamond City, a capital of one of the provinces.
It was considered quite the large city, but it wasn’t that big that it would be considered one of the bigger cities of the Mu Empire.
It was just the capital of a province after all.
After Mu Bao Bao had moved to Dungeon City, the construction of Dungeon City had been pushed quite aggressively. Even if the ministers didn’t want to, they had no choice since Mu Bao Bao wouldn’t budge.
So the only thing that they could do was push Dungeon City’s construction so it matched Mu Bao Bao’s status.
As such, Dungeon City was growing bigger and bigger with each passing day. It wouldn’t take long before they would catch the capitals of the provinces. It might not even take long before it caught the former capital of the Mu Empire.
But that also didn’t mean that Diamond City was small. There were waves of people that were still heading in and out of the city.
These people all had business or finished their business in Diamond City. Lin Fan had arrived in the middle of the day, so it was currently the busiest time for the people at the gate.
It was a good thing that he couldn’t be considered a normal person.
With a single token, he was able to make it through the gates of Diamond City easily.
The token that he had was one that represented the Mu Empire. He had been given a status that made it easy for him to go anywhere in the Mu Empire.
The only problem was that this status did come with a bit of a problem.
“Envoy, please come with us to the City Lord Manor. He has been informed and is already waiting for you.” The guards at the gate said in a respectful manner.
The status that Lin Fan had been given is an envoy of the Mu Empire’s government.
That meant that he had the ability to inspect government officials on behalf of the Mu Empire, as well as make arrests if the situation came to that. So that was why all officials had to be careful of Lin Fan.
Though this identity had been granted to him in secret.
It wasn’t as if Mu Bao Bao could let the ministers know that she had granted this status to Lin Fan since they would surely complain about her doing this. So she could only grant this status in secret and let him use it when he needed it.
As long as he didn’t create a big mess, the ministers shouldn’t find out about it since there were more important things that required their attention. If he wasn’t here to inspect their city, it wasn’t as if the city lords would take the initiative to report that an envoy was there.
So it was unlikely that he would be caught.
“No need, I’m just staying here temporarily for some other matters.” Lin Fan replied in a serious voice.
The guards were surprised before revealing awkward looks.
The city lord had told them to bring the envoy to the City Lord Manor, but now this envoy was refusing. If they didn’t bring the envoy to the city lord, there was no doubt that they would be in trouble.
But at the same time, it wasn’t as if they could force the envoy to do anything.
So they could only stand there awkwardly as they didn’t know what to do.
It was at this time that someone came over and said, “Then sir envoy, please enjoy your stay in our Diamond City.”
“Sir Yu!” The captain of the guards said in a surprised voice.
The one that he called Sir Yu gave a nod to him before bowing to Lin Fan and saying, “It’s a pity that we weren’t able to host you. We hope that you will enjoy what Diamond City has to offer.”
This one called Sir Yu was the trusted aide of the city lord, so his status wasn’t low in Diamond City.
The guards all deferred to him when it came to this decision since he would be able to explain to the city lord, unlike them.
Lin Fan was surprised to see this, but it was for a different reason.
He was surprised that the city lord was this capable or that he had someone this capable under him. From his experience, he didn’t have a good impression of the different city lords of the Mu Empire.
But it seemed like he couldn’t just group them together as some of them were quite capable.
After giving a nod to Sir Yu, Lin Fan headed into the streets of Diamond City without looking back at them.
As he walked off, the captain of the guard couldn’t help looking at Sir Yu to say, “Sir Yu, shouldn’t we at least show him an inn so that we know where he is going?”
He felt that at the very least, they should help this envoy while he was in the city. That way, they could leave a good impression on the envoy while also keeping track of him.
Sir Yu revealed a bitter smile before turning over to say, “Can you even follow him?”
The captain of the guard was surprised and confused when he heard this. He just looked at Sir Yu with a confused look on his face as he waited for him to explain.
Sir Yu didn’t say anything at first as he turned back to look at Lin Fan disappearing into the crowd, but then he said, “Even if you wanted to keep track of him, you wouldn’t be able to do so. His cultivation is even higher than mine or the Lord City Lord, so we wouldn’t be able to follow him.”
The guards were all surprised by this since they never thought that this unassuming envoy would be this powerful.
Sir Yu didn’t care about their reaction as he continued by saying, “At the same time, there’s no telling what he is up to. With the way that he’s acting, it’s clear that he has some other goals in mind.”
Sir Yu stopped to give a sigh before continuing, “If we were to intervene rashly, we might even mess up his mission. If we were to mess up his mission, it’s hard to say what kind of consequences we would suffer because of it.”
His eyes suddenly turned sharp as he looked at the guards to say, “Don’t even think about trying to step over your posts and thinking of helping him. If you try to use this as a chance to promote yourself, then you can only blame yourself for when you fail. The city lord will not cover for you if you make a mess of things.”
All of the guards trembled when they heard this before quickly nodding in agreement.
Sir Yu didn’t seem to care as he turned back to look in the direction that Lin Fan walked off in one last time.
After looking in that direction for a bit, he gave another sigh before suddenly disappearing.
The guards had strange looks on their faces after hearing this, but then they just went off to do their jobs. They knew that Sir Yu was right, they couldn’t afford the consequences if they acted rashly.
It was better for them to live their simple lives.
In the distance, there was a faint smile that appeared on Lin Fan’s face.
He had heard everything that Sir Yu had said with his senses that had become even sharper after breaking through.
There was a part of him that was a bit interested in this Sir Yu, but that small part didn’t grow as it was only a passing thought.
