Chapter 524: Nabeh: Marriage? Me and Lord Yecheng?
"Well, Althea? Isn't her magic power impressive?"
As Althea used her innate ability to observe Nabeh, Heklang and Imina, standing nearby, couldn't help but express their curiosity.
"Such powerful magic... Her magical power is already more than double mine."
Roba's guess was probably right; with such an astonishing amount of magic power, her limit was definitely not Tier 3 magic. Perhaps it was Tier 4...
No, it's possible she can even use Tier 5 spells, making her a Spell Singer!"
Seeing the look of surprise on Althea's face and hearing her words, the other three of the 'Four Schemers' were astonished.
Being able to use Tier 5 magic meant reaching the realm of heroes.
Such a character was undoubtedly rare in the entire empire, let alone someone so young!
"There's always someone better. I used to think that Althea's ability to master Tier 3 magic at her age made her a genius among Spell Singers, but I never expected to meet someone like this today."
"Indeed, for that man to be able to travel with a female Spell Singer, his strength, even if not on par, should not be far behind.
What a formidable opponent we have here. It seems the competition ahead will only intensify."
The 'Four Schemers' were one of the top Worker teams in the empire, often taking on dangerous and lucrative quests.
And now, the duo of 'Yecheng' was clearly no less capable, which meant they would naturally attract a portion of future quests.
"In any case, it's best to avoid antagonizing such promising individuals."
Heklang, coming from a merchant family, understood the principle of harmony brings wealth.
Since they couldn't offer help in their time of need, it was better to offer congratulations.
So, at this moment, he picked up a wine glass and approached Yecheng, introducing himself, "My name is Heklang Tamat, leader of the 'Four Schemers'. These are my teammates, and it's a pleasure to meet you."
Seeing the wine glass extended by Heklang, Yecheng hesitated for a moment before finally reaching out to take it.
He was familiar with the 'Four Schemers'. To be honest, while there were many scumbags among the empire's Workers, this team, the 'Four Schemers', had left a good impression on him.
A loving couple, willing to sacrifice for each other; a noble girl embarking on an adventure to repay her family's debt; a priest dissatisfied with the temple's unethical conduct...
What was rare was the bond among the members of the 'Four Schemers', a connection often lacking in typical Worker teams.
Unfortunately, these individuals were ultimately manipulated by the Blood Emperor and met their end at the hands of the Old Bone... No, they didn't die directly at his hands, but their fates were all equally tragic.
"My name is Yecheng, and this is my companion, Nabeh. Our team is called 'Yecheng'. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Hearing Yecheng's polite response, Heklang was momentarily taken aback.
He had assumed that someone as young as Yecheng and Nabeh, with such formidable abilities, might be a bit arrogant.
But the outcome was beyond his expectations. He had prepared himself for rejection, yet they turned out to be surprisingly approachable.
"I thought they might be difficult to get along with, but they're surprisingly easy to talk to. Those two..."
I'm not sure how to describe it, but they don't seem to fit our line of work at all. Their auras are just too different from ours."
Upon hearing Heklang's description of Night City and his group, Alshe and the others couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation.
Among them, his half-elf lover, Imina, couldn't help but chime in, "Don't be too quick to judge, there are plenty of humans who are skilled at disguising themselves.
Just like you, always saying you love me, but you've been sneaking glances at that tall, black-haired beauty, Nabe, multiple times!"
As they watched Heklang being ear-tugged by Imina, Roba and Alshe chose to tactfully ignore the situation.
As for Night City and Nabe, after completing the necessary procedures, they decided to stay at the Singing Apple Pavilion, a local inn.
With the recent brutal defeat of the Wild Dogs and the Four Plotters' friendly overtures, no one dared to cause trouble for them.
Night City had already achieved his goal with the incident.
By effortlessly defeating the Wild Dogs, they had showcased their strength and made a name for themselves to some extent.
If anyone wanted to hire them, they would surely seek them out.
"Lord Night City, do you want me to secretly eliminate those who dared to provoke you earlier?"
Back in their room, Nabe was still troubled by the Wild Dogs' henchmen from earlier.
She understood Night City's desire to avoid unnecessary trouble, but secretly dealing with those people wouldn't be a problem for her.
"Never mind, they did help us gain some notoriety, in a way.
And if they died soon after the conflict, no matter how clean it was, it would still raise suspicions.
Nabe, you should rest first. I need to contact Squirrel and check on their progress."
Hearing Night City's words, Nabe could only nod in agreement. However, just as she was about to follow his orders and go to bed, she realized that the innkeeper had only given them one room with a single double bed!
"I'll go and ask that inferior being to open another room. Such a shabby room doesn't suit the Supreme Sovereign!"
Nabe's face turned an unnatural shade of crimson as she imagined something unpleasant. She was about to go downstairs to request another room.
However, just as she was about to leave, Night City stopped her.
"It's fine. You can sleep on this bed. We don't have extra funds, so there's no need to waste money on unnecessary expenses.
Besides, the workers downstairs seemed to think we're a couple. To avoid any trouble, let's pretend to be a married couple when we're out in public from now on."
"H-Husband and wife... Me and Lord Night City? Someone like me... How could I possibly..."
Seeing Nabe's head steaming, her usually cold demeanor replaced by a crimson blush, and her stammering, Night City sighed, "It's just an act!
Come on, if you're this flustered now, I'm not sure if you can play the role of a wife convincingly in front of others.
If you find it too difficult, I can call Soluxiang; she should be good at this kind of role."
