Su Lun and Mr. Jing were selecting materials in a shop called "The White Whale Alchemist," when suddenly the entire street fell silent. Passersby consciously avoided looking and lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the imposing group approaching from afar.
The entourage was grand, led by a squad of guards in shining silver armor, and the leader of the guards was walking two Ice Plains giants enslaved with iron chains, as if walking dogs.
In the middle of the group was a fat man with a smug look, his cheeks sagging into double chins, and his eyes squinted, weighing over three hundred pounds.
Nobles of the Luying Empire were instantly recognizable, not only by their entourage but also by their clothing.
To distinguish themselves from the commoners, the nobles had developed a complex set of apparel indicative of their rank and titles.
