บท 1029: First Impressions

"Ah, Helios! You're back!" 

They were set aside and inspected before entering (no other village would dare do this to a person who could afford a beast car) and the guards were surprised to see one familiar person in the group of aborigines. 

The guards became a lot less guarded with them from that point forward. "You can just deposit the beast cars in the Inn," the guard said, pointing in a direction inside the walls and to their left. "A lot of aborigines had gone home (with a lot of reluctance, mind you) so we have a lot of openings now." 

"I see, thanks!" Helios said and he guided the driver to enter the gates, which opened to a lively plaza with small stores, parked bikes, stores, and so on. 

There was a clear path for them there so the beast cars were unhindered as they entered, though they did make everyone there stare curiously at them, the new arrivals.
