|| Chapter 396 || A New Acquaintance
Within the crowded streets of the central district, countless gazes settled upon the group of travelers garbed in thick clothing, dark and ominous. Battle-hardened and scarred, they wore an oppressive aura crushing anyone within their path. Their weapons sounded, heard beneath the thick leathers. Children stared at them with fear and awe and their parents took them away from the sight of these bulky men. The men are eye-catching, surrounded by vibrant stalls and bright people. One wouldn't forget them when they passed.
The people should have gotten used to their presence a few years ago by now. However, whenever they appear before their very eyes, it felt as though they were seeing them for the first time. With such aura and looks, they are striking like the brutish warriors of the ancients.
