Chapter 97: A Fun Game
"Where are you guys coming from,"
"Hathvile town," Lena said with a small smile, her eyes leaving the guards who were talking to her and staring at the tall walls of the city whose gate she stood beside.
"You say he's your husband" The guard asked looking at the huge black haired man beside Lena dressed in dusty grey clothes, with a black cloth tied around his head and falling over half of his face and carrying a heavy bag over his back.
"Yes, forgive his silence, but his communication skills are rather bad" Lena said in a lowered tone, her pitiful posture successfully getting the sympathy of the guard.
"Fine. You say you have no document and wish to start a new life within the city, are you aware of the costs for that."
"Oh yes" Lena replied, her eyes once again filled with excitement and with care she reached into a brown bag hanging from her shoulders, taking out a pouch of coins her movements containing a bit of hesitation, but with determination, she gave it away.
"Are you sure you want to give this away, the guard said taking the pouch from Lena and inspecting the silver within."
"My husband and I believe this city has a lot to offer us," Lena said with a grin.
"Okay, well good luck with your dreams." The guard said letting Blake and Lena pass through the small black gate that stood built some distance from the huge main gate of the city.
As the pair went past the gate, they both felt a light film of energy go over them, but they ignored it and kept moving with no alarms being raised or shouts echoing around Blake and Lena walked into Paldin City, an average city which was governed by a battle mage.
Considering they had arrived at the city just when the light of the sun was beginning to appear over the horizon, Blake and Lena got to walk the scanty streets while it was quiet and empty.
With Lena clinging onto Blake's arm the two walked through the city, Lena leading the way.
"Have you been in this world before you decided to reincarnate" Blake suddenly asked as they walked
"What do you think" Lena asked with a chuckle.
The pair walked for a few more minutes before finally arriving at a tall building with the word Trusks Hotel written on it and entering it.
"Go call me your manager," Lena said when they got to the front desk, her words immediately sending the young lady behind the counter into action.
Seeing this, Blake's eyes narrowed and he took a deep look at the Lobby of the hotel, taking note of its new paint but most especially its sturdy walls and the old dates which hung around on some names and paintings on the wall.
"Follow me" Blake suddenly said and before Lena could let out a word, he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her out of the building.
Lena wished to struggle out of Blake's grip despite how useless that was, but Blake's words didn't just echo in her ears but also her soul and her body did as he said.
"What is your problem," Lena asked but Blake ignored her, simply holding onto her arm as he moved forward.
From Lena's earlier reply, Blake had already gotten the info that before she had herself reincarnating into a baby to be born in this world, she had walked it and putting himself in her shoes, Blake could only conclude that the woman had built a connection for herself to use when she reincarnated and that Trusks hotel was one such connection.
From being extremely cautious at the city gate to casually using her powers to command a hotel receptionist, that action had sent Blake bells ringing and there was no way he was taking any risks with Lena.
"Darling, are you that scared of me, for all you know, I might have called for the hotel manager just so I could also put them under my control" Lena said easily figuring out the reason for Blake's actions, but just as Blake was dismissing her words from his mind, she added some words.
"Or perhaps, this is all just a ploy by me to have you think that I actually have a connection in that hotel and hence make you leave it and take me to one where I actually have connections."
At this Blake paused in his tracks and gave Lena a hard stare.
"Or maybe I do have a connection to all the hotels in this city"
Turning away from Lena Blake waved his hands at a passerby stopping him and asking him a question,
"Please, my wife and I are new here and looking for the most recently built hotel could you please direct us to it?"
Minutes later Blake and Lena were In front of a building with the words "Utopia Rest" on it, the building quite colourful and already having a bit of traffic at its entrance, however, just as Blake was about to go into it, Lena spoke.
"You know, though the chances are small, I could have also left orders for a new hotel to be built just before my soul completely awakened and hence why I mentioned all those possibilities, after all, you choosing to go to the most recently built hotel is the only logical decision.
"Your awakening was brought several years forward when I tried to kill you, so I'm sure whatever hotel you told whoever to build for you is yet to be made" Blake said marching into the hotel, Lena following after him with a pout as her fun had now ended.
Walking into the hotel lobby, Blake went straight to the receptionist counter, and after a friendly chat with the man behind it, took a pouch off his waist, counted off some coins and gave it to him.
To solve the issue of their clothes and the matter of money Blake and Lena had attacked a small group of adventurers that had been on their way to the city.
Killing them as quickly as possible or in better terms assassinating them, Blake had proceeded to bury their bodies and then make his way over here.
As for the matter of his disguise, though after his evolution he had lost the skill 'sun cloak' there was nothing to fear as his new title more than compensated for it.
