Bab 151: Pointers

Dorian locked eyes with the City Lord of Fort Sutner, his face not showing a hint of distress or emotion.

Just a little while before this, the situation had been vastly different.

Dorian was being escorted through the city by a troop of Shade guards from the City Lord's castle. All the guards wore heavy plated armor and moved with both experience and strength. They were clearly all veterans that had seen actual combat. The weakest among them was at the Master Class.

The strongest, a Shade known as Lieutenant Becker, was at the Late Grandmaster Class, a fairly powerful level.

The guards had looked at him oddly when they saw him carrying the limp Helena. However, they seemed to take his strange behavior in stride, as if it wasn't unexpected, and led him onward.

This was the first time Dorian had ever seen a city that was inhabited entirely by Shades.
