"Let’s pay a visit to your cursed village."
Pablo was ready to go.
"Don’t you want to eat something first?" Socrates asked.
"Yes. After eating we will go." Pablo wanted to eat. He was eager to finish his mission so he forgot about eating.
"Right. Come inside my hut."
Socrates walked towards his hut and Pablo walked behind him.
After that, Pablo, Sera and the Chief ate something and now they were finally ready.
"Are you wearing nice clothes?" Socrates asked.
Pablo quivered his brows. "Why is that? And I think they are decent."
"You should wear some royal clothes. You have to cross Glory city to get to the village. Nice clothes will make it easy for you."
"Makes sense. I even brought some expensive clothes before coming here."
"You must have forgotten to wear them. You can change here. I am blind anyway."
"Yeah."
Pablo took out a pair of good clothes from his bracelet and removed his old clothes right there.
"Hiiie." Sera let out some kind of noise and turned away. She couldn’t watch Pablo.
’I don’t even have any abs yet. Why is she blushing?’
’You won’t understand. When you love someone, they become the most beautiful person in the world for you.’ Cupid gave some love knowledge.
Pablo ignored her and Sera both and wore his new clothes.
Sera was already looking nice and rich so she didn’t have to do anything.
Pablo let his old clothes stay inside the hut and with Sera and Socrates, he finally came out.
"Everyone!" Socrates called.
All the villagers gathered in front of him in just one shout.
"We are going to our village. You all stay here. Set up the traps and keep an eye on the entrance. We don’t know how long it will take us to come back here. Take care of yourselves, alright?"
"Yes!" The villagers replied in unison.
Socrates nodded and all three of them walked towards the entrance of the slums.
The Villagers followed them.
After two minutes, Socrates, Pablo and Sera were outside the slum.
"Take care, chief and Pablo too." The villagers waved their hands to all three of them.
Pablo did a little wave as well and began his journey.
He and Sera were on the same road from where they came to the slums and Socrates walked in front of them.
"How far is the Village?" Pablo asked.
"It’s far. But you won’t have to go inside the village anyway. You will be able to see the white mist before even reaching the Village."
"Sure thing."
Pablo increased his pace and now he was walking just beside Socrates.
Sera stayed behind him as she was told.
Cupid and Andrezj were also there but they were quiet for now.
"You have trained yourself very well, Socrates. A blind man walking like he could see." Pablo remarked. He was kind of impressed by Socrates and his black shades too.
"I have been blind since birth, Detective. This ability of mine isn’t my talent, it’s my survival."
"Fair enough."
"Have you thought about what I said last night?"
’Why is he so adamant on that?’
"Yeah. You could be right. Cannibals and Vampires could be there. But the war happened ten years ago, where could they have hidden themselves so that no one could find them?"
"I don’t know. And even if someone did have found them in our village, it’s not like they could fight them off. I am not that strong as well. And also, what if the Demon is helping them hide?"
"That could be the case. But why would a Demon help someone?"
"You don’t know, detective. A Demon has a hundred motives for whatever he does and ninety nine of them are…" Socrates stopped walking.
"Malevolent."
He turned his head at Pablo.
"We are here."
Pablo frowned. In front of him was just a big metal gate divided by two from the middle.
It was in the middle of the road, blocking the further path.
But there was no white mist visible yet.
"Where are we?" Pablo asked.
"From this first gate, the area of Glory city starts. Only some selected or rich individuals can get past it. The Royals want no low life to enter their city." Socrates explained.
"So you can’t follow us?" Pablo asked.
"That’s right."
"But what if I say that you are with me?"
"You can try if you want but I am sure I won’t be allowed."
"There is no harm in trying."
Pablo walked towards the big gate.
He knocked on it.
WRILL!
The gate made a sound and it opened automatically.
When the gate fully opened, Pablo saw five guards in front of him.
One of them came forward.
"State your name, your purpose, and give us an identity proof. And if you are from the slums, then just turn back." He gave some orders right away. Pablo figured he must be the main guard.
Nevertheless, Pablo wasted no time and gave answers.
"My name is Pablo Castillo and I am a private detective. I don’t have a proof of identity with me but I do have this.."
Pablo took out his Black card.
The main guard reached out his hand and snatched the card from Pablo.
He watched it closely.
"Get me the machine." He said.
One of the guards brought a machine of some kind and showed it to the main guard.
The main guard then placed the black card on the machine.
BEEP!
The machine made a sound and the main guard nodded.
"It’s authentic."

He gave the card back to Pablo.
’He isn’t surprised by the Black card. He must have seen a lot of them.’
"So can we pass?" Pablo asked.
"There is no ’we’ here, sir. Only you shall pass." The main guard made it clear.
STEP!
STEP!
Someone came forward from behind Pablo. It was Sera.
She stood beside him and showed a Black card to the main guard as well.
"She is my assistant." Pablo shared her identity.
The main guard checked Sera’s black card as well and it was also authentic.
"Okay, so now only you two can pass. This old man stays here. I can tell at first glance he is from the slums."
’He should have also worn some fancy dress but even if he wore nice clothes, where he would have gotten a Black card. His entry was prohibited from the start.’
"Told you." Socrates said, smiling.
"Now state the purpose of your visit." The main guard asked another question.
At this, Pablo gave an honest answer.
"I am here to save the Kingdom."
