Without hesitation, they walked forward, preparing to enter the town, only for them to be stopped by the guards standing at the gate.
"Entrance fees," one of the guards demanded coldly, his expression showing no room for argument.
Hmm?
Surprised, Celene looked at the cold expression on the guard's face and questioned him carefully.
"How much is the entrance fee?" she asked, narrowing her eyes slightly.
"Fifty Copper Coins. Each," the guard replied with a flat and emotionless tone.
"What!" Cyras exclaimed with wide eyes. "Why do you not just rob us?" He rolled his eyes in disbelief.
However, the guard did not even bat an eye at him, as if he had heard such complaints countless times before.
"Pay or leave," he said, his voice laced with finality and impatience.
Celene was furious. When was the last time she had been treated like this? With her current strength, most towns did not dare ask for an entrance fee from her.
