Wandering warrior

The guard who was speaking looked hesitant to approach Alex.

"I'm just a wandering warrior hoping to enter the town to get some rest and recuperate after my tiring journey! There's no need to worry, I'll follow the laws of your town." Alex gave a slight smile, continuing his facade of being a nomad warrior.

Hearing Alex's words, the two guards eased up but were still a little weary..

But the fact that he was a completely unknown warrior made his situation a little more complicated.

"You can enter the town, but you have to leave any weapons with us before you enter. You can collect them again when you wish to leave." The first guard spoke again, his mouth curling up into a smile.

"But first we have to confirm that you're not a fugitive." Clearly, this was what the guards were after from the beginning, as their faces changed to snide smiles while they kept their swords trained on Alex.
