A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 894 - 628: Deepwater City

The next day, the group continued their journey toward Deepwater City. Luckily, they hadn’t encountered any bandits or foolish kobolds keen on obstructing their path.

Soon, after not much time had passed, they reached the city known as the crown of the Northern Land—Deepwater City.

As one of the most prosperous cities in the Northern Land, Deepwater City was much larger than Neverwinter City. Many brave warriors who had defended the world had come from here, and their legends were sung throughout the continent by bards. But honestly, such experiences were not to be envied, because it meant the city was just like Tokyo in Isekai—a place where every minor monster seemed to attack to make its presence felt.

Upon arriving at the gates of Deepwater City, they were stopped as expected.

"Hold, who are you?"

The guard, holding a long spear, eyed the four people in front of him dubiously, or rather, their attention was mainly on Duanmu Huai. After all, the presence of this tall figure was too imposing, and merely seeing him sent a chill down one’s spine.

"We come from Neverwinter City."

"Neverwinter City?"

Hearing Amelia’s reply, the guard immediately tensed up, stepping back instinctively. Seeing this, Amelia sighed inwardly. The news of the epidemic in Neverwinter City had spread across the entire Northern Land. Although the epidemic had now subsided, it was certain that similar situations might still occur in the forthcoming period...

"Yes, thanks to Master Tuokai Erben, the ravaging epidemic in Neverwinter City has subsided. We are here on behalf of Lord Nasher to express our gratitude to Master Kelben."

At this point, Amelia raised her voice. She knew that many people were coming and going near the city gate, so she wanted to quickly spread the news that the plague in Neverwinter City was over. As expected, hearing Amelia speak, many people looked their way, curiously sizing up their group.

"Ah, I see..."

"This is a letter from Lord Nasher."

As she spoke, Amelia pulled out a letter from her bosom and handed it over. The guard scrutinized the letter carefully, then his expression became solemn, and he quickly bowed to Amelia.

"Welcome to Deepwater City. May I ask, are they..."

"They are the heroes who saved Neverwinter City."

Amelia did not hide the truth and stated it boldly. Kasim and Roxia, not quite suited for such occasions, blushed and bowed their heads in embarrassment. Duanmu Huai, on the other hand, stood still, indifferent to such acknowledgments. Ogis, as usual, sat perched on Duanmu Huai’s shoulder, swinging her legs and curiously staring at the sights of Deepwater City.

"Ah, I see."

Upon hearing this, the guard finally understood and withdrew his suspicious gaze from Duanmu Huai. After all, it was Deepwater City, and they were used to seeing such heroic figures. As residents of Deepwater City, they knew very well that those labeled as heroes were usually anything but ordinary.

Like that person, and that other person... Well, specific names should definitely not be mentioned; everyone is aware of them as is.

"Welcome to Deepwater City. I hope you have a pleasant stay." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

If they were ordinary adventurers, the guard surely wouldn’t have let them through so easily, but since Amelia was a Sacred Knight from Tyler and even held a letter from the Lord of Neverwinter City, it was clear their identities were endorsed by Neverwinter City. Thus, the guard did not fuss too much and quickly cleared the way for them, allowing Duanmu Huai and his party to enter Deepwater City.

This city was somewhat more bustling compared to Neverwinter City, but to Duanmu Huai, it didn’t seem all that special. Even so, he felt quite excited because he knew there were many Magic Shops in Deepwater City where he could buy some Magical Items—As for learning magic, Duanmu Huai wasn’t too interested. Although the magic of the Faelun Continent was considered superlative in supportive aspects, it was also too cumbersome to learn.

"So, let’s split up and go our separate ways for now," Duanmu Huai suggested eagerly as soon as they entered Deepwater City.

"Split up?"

"Yes. What are your plans?"

"Well..."

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s question, Kasim and Roxia exchanged glances and then looked towards Amelia.

"Miss Amelia?"

"Of course I must go to the Black Wand Tower to meet Master Kelben; after all, it is my duty."

As an official, Amelia certainly couldn’t skip the necessary formalities.

"Roxia and I plan to wander around Deepwater City."

"Well then, let’s disperse here and regroup at this spot for lunch. Oh, and,"

At this point, Duanmu Huai reached out and lifted Ogis from his shoulder.

"Could you please look after her?"

"Eh? Us ... uh... so Mr. Duanmu, you are planning to..."

"I have some matters to attend to. See you later."

After saying this, Duanmu Huai chuckled, waved at Ogis, who tilted her head in confusion but said nothing more. The group watched as Duanmu Huai turned and walked away, his tall figure disappearing among the bustling streets.
