"It's me, Pat! We're back with the children from the village!" Pat yelled up at the soldier on the battlements.
"Of course I recognize you, Pat. I wasn't asking about you! I mean, who's that person next to you on the big horse, wearing armor? I've never seen him before," the soldier on the wall called back loudly.
"Oh, that's the Ranger, Fang Zhen! He's brought the formula for the Blood Burst Secret Medicine and its key ingredients!" Pat shouted.
Hearing this, a commotion broke out on the city wall.
"Wait a moment! I need to go back and report this."
The soldier looked utterly shocked. He stared at Fang Zhen for a while, as if trying to memorize his face.
Then, the soldier left the wall.
A short while later, the soldier returned. The sound of grinding mechanisms echoed from within the city gate, and the heavy doors swung open.
Fang Zhen and the others walked straight in.
After entering the city, Fang Zhen was surprised by a sense of familiarity.
