Watching as two guards suddenly approached, Shiro tilted her head as she did not understand a single word that had just come out of their mouths.
"It's their language, I'll communicate and translate for you don't worry." Stanley chuckled but Shiro was already doing some preparations of her own.
On her wrist was a bracelet that analyses the language and translates it for her. All she needed to do was memorise it and wait for the translation to be confirmed.
"What do you think they're talking about?" Nan Tian whispered over as Shiro shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know but I'm analysing their language right now. If you want, I can make you a translator so that everything you hear will be translated and everything you say will also be translated." Shiro whispered back as Nan Tian nodded his head.
"That would be helpful. Unfortunately, I'm not as talented as you are in that regard." He smiled softly.
"Well not many people are. My mind is essentially a computer after all." Shiro shrugged.
"True."
After a few short moments, Stanley turned back to the two.
"They were just wondering who you two are. They know me since I spent a bit of time here but they're on guard about you two. You'll need to be monitored by guards at all times when you are in the city and your weapons have to be confiscated." Stanley explained as Shiro nodded her head.
"Do they know about inventory or can I get away with that?" Shiro asked.
"They don't but the moment you use the inventory, they'll see that you have weapons all along and won't trust you at all. Plus, they can't see how many weapons you have so that would make it even harder for them to trust you." Stanley replied.
"Mn… well I won't be killing anyone so I doubt I'd summon a weapon. So tell them no, I don't have any weapons. Or better yet, just say that we're mages." Shiro smiled as Nan Tian agreed. After all, they look down on mages so it was a good way to not raise suspicion. In their minds, two mages couldn't do any major damage.
"Sure."
Turning back to the guards, Stanley spoke a few words as Shiro glanced at the bracelet to see how much of the language has been decoded so far.
Seeing that it was only at 10%, Shiro sighed since it made sense. They were only having a few basic conversations. If she wanted the full picture, she would need to spend more time and let the bracelet analyse the language some more.
Which she wasn't too against since she was curious about what this race of people were like. She was also curious about what their materials were. After all, the anchor is also composed of the materials you can find in this world. So seeing what materials are provided from the unexplored areas would be very helpful.
"They said they're still going to leave a few guards with us to keep watch. After all, you two are newcomers and they did the same with me." Stanley turned back to the two.
"That's fine. Do you know what they use to pay for stuff?" Shiro asked.
Since the Navuri didn't have access to inventory, she wasn't sure about their interactions with the system. It could be that they don't have the system at all or it could be that they lack a few privileges.
"They use coins that you earn here. I have some on me but we're essentially broke right now." Stanley chuckled as Shiro sighed.
"I see. Do you think we'll have enough to buy some materials?"
"Oh definitely. The price of materials is pretty cheap. I was thinking that you wanted weapons or the such. They don't have many blacksmiths so any weapons they make are very expensive. So the base materials are cheap in comparison." Stanley replied.
"Oh that's pretty good then. If there are new rare or new materials, I'll want to check them out since it could be important. Who knows, my nanobots might be able to copy their compositions if they're strong." Shiro chuckled as Stanley nodded his head.
"Give me a moment then. I'll ask these two about giving us an entrance pass as well as the guards that need to watch over us."
Nodding her head, Shiro glanced up at the city walls.
Looking at the architecture, Shiro was quite surprised to see that it was very reminiscent of western architecture of castles that she had seen on the internet.
She could see several guards with bows that were observing them with caution but no hostility which was a good sign.
'At least they're neutral. If it was humans, it might have been hostility in their gaze.' Shiro thought to herself as humans are quite racist for a lack of a better term. After being on the top of the food chain for quite some time, it's difficult for them to accept someone being higher than them.
This was what happened in her past life when the humans couldn't accept the demi humans and they were enslaved.
Hell even the monsters were used for s.e.x.u.a.l relief. Thankfully, she hadn't seen anything of the sort so far in this world which made her smile.
She could understand why though, since no one cared if a monster died or not. If a person made love to a monster, it was more the person's problem than the people who know of it. Sure it was strange but it wasn't like they were forcing a 'human' to do the act.
'If I was caught when I wasn't strong enough, things would have gotten rough.' Shiro thought with a sigh.
{Especially with your looks. As crude as this sounds, you would be classed as a high quality product.} Nimue shrugged.
'Uff… Don't call me that. It just gives me chills down the spine.' Shiro made a disgusted face since itemising her as a tool for s.e.x.u.a.l relief only made her want to throw up.
{I know, I'm just making an example don't worry haha.} Nimue chuckled.
As she was talking to Nimue, Attie reached out and tugged at Shiro's sleeve.
'You want me to pick you up?' Shiro smiled as Attie nodded his head.
Picking Attie up, Shiro wondered if she should bring Attie out without raising suspicion.
"Teach, do you think I can bring out my son and they not question it?" Shiro asked curiously.
"Hmm… probably not. They'll think about how you brought him out and question if you have any weapons hidden away." Stanley replied as Shiro clicked her tongue.
"Fair."
'Sorry darling, it seems like I can't bring you out just yet.' Shiro sighed as Attie pouted for a moment before nodding his head.
'But don't worry, I'll bring you out to have some fun after I finish my work ok?' Shiro smiled as Attie nodded his head.
Thinking about it for a moment, he blushed and pecked her on the cheek before waddling away.
'Arrgggg!!! Why is my son so cute!!' Shiro smiled as Nimue rolled her eyes.
{Why are you like this with Attie but not Yin and Lisandra huh?}
'Well, Yin grew up quite quickly and she has been quite the prankster. Lisandra has always been the serious type. Naturally, I still pamper them but Attie's the only one that stayed as a baby for quite some time, so.' Shiro shrugged.
To her, babies were cute so she wanted to take advantage of it as much as she could before he grew up. When he does, he'll become the handsome man she saw in the future.
{They still need love even though it might embarrass them.} Nimue chuckled.
'Mn, true. I'm not that good of a mother am I?'
{First time for everything. But while you may not be a great mother in terms of attention giving, no one would want to pick on your children since they'll incur your wrath.} Nimue laughed.
'True. If I see anyone bullying my child don't expect me to go easy on them hmph.' Shiro frowned.
{Shiro, they're children. Are you really going to rain destruction down on a child?} Nimue's smile twitched.
'Well… maybe not destruction but they'll pay for bullying my child.'
{. . . You are also quite possibly the most overprotective parent.} Nimue shrugged.
Taking to Nimue for a bit longer, Shiro watched as two guards approached them and stand near them.
"We can enter now." Stanley smiled.
