Chapter 1481 1481: They aren't humans

Seeing their reaction, Long Chen was slightly stunned. He thought these people would be shocked, and they'll let him pass right away, but they showed no response. They just observed his hand before looking at each other.

Long Chen glanced toward Xun, wondering if she had any idea as to what was happening. Xun also looked slightly surprised towards him. Did these people know he wasn't a Royal?

The two guards nodded at each other before stepping aside.

"You can pass."

It was good that they let him pass, but Long Chen was still surprised. Why did these people not express any shock? It was as if it was normal for them to see someone from the capital who could fully transform.

It was odd, but he decided to let it go. Maybe Xun had overexaggerated the importance of transformations. Maybe it wasn't such a big deal after all. In any case, Xun's knowledge was probably outdated. Millions of years had passed since she learned about it. Things change in the world. Maybe in the millions of years, people even outside the Nobles had managed to master transformation?

After finding a reasonable explanation, he continued walking inside the town. Xun walked with him, holding his hand.

"I don't need to hide my hand now, do I?" Long Chen asked, seemingly amused.

"I would still suggest it's better you do," Xun suggested, but Long Chen ignored her this time. There was nothing special in hands.

As he walked through the town, he could see many people who looked like half beasts. Their hands were the same as the hands of the villagers who had captured him. Only the ladies had normal hands here.

Everyone occasionally glanced at the hands of Long Chen before looking elsewhere. Even they didn't look especially surprised.

"As expected, this is nothing special." This actually confirmed Long Chen's suspicions.

Now that he doesn't need to worry about scaring others off, he can use his hands for basics like eating. Also, he could talk to people to get some information.

"Let's go where we won't look out of place talking nonsense," he muttered as he kept trying to find a place.

"Where would that place be?" Xun inquired.

"I need to find a bar. As long as I can find someone who is drunk, I should get my answers."

"You think these people have a bar? They aren't humans!" Xun retorted.

"Even if they're not humans, so what? Everyone has alcohol, not just humans. It's a global way of thinking. Hopefully, one bar will be here as well," Long Chen commented as he observed the surroundings, trying to find any place that looked like a bar.

"Wouldn't it be better to ask someone then?" Xun inquired, watching Long Chen run around like a lost cat.

Long Chen turned around, facing her. "I don't understand their language. How can I ask them?"

"Ah, do you even hear yourself?" Xun laughed. "If you can't ask them the way to the bar because of the language Barrier, what will you do even if you find the bar? Will they start speaking your language in that case?"

"That..." Long Chen stopped in his tracks, just realizing the biggest flaw in his plan. "You know their language, right?"

"I do." Xun nodded.

"Then no worries. You can translate for us. And you can also ask the direction of the bar." Long Chen nodded. "Thanks for reminding me. It's good having you here."

Xun went to a lady in the distance to ask. Long Chen and Long Tian stayed behind.

Seeing the grin on Long Tian's face, Long Chen asked, "You knew about it as well, right? Why didn't you remind me."

"I did. I just wanted to see how long it takes before you come to realize it yourself. Unfortunately, Xun spoiled it," Long Tian let out, smiling.

Long Chen rolled his eyes. "You're really enjoying it seems. Don't forget though. We aren't on a vacation."

"Of course, I know that. But it's a small thing. I would've told you when we had found the war. I also know their language after all," Long Tian explained. "I would've let you look like an idiot before Xun."

"Well, it's too late for that already," Long Chen said, glancing at Xun in the distance, talking to a lady.

He watched the lady point towards the south, nodding.

After some time, Xun returned to Long Chen. "You were right. There is a bar nearby. It's in that direction."

"I got that much from her gestures." Long Chen let out. "Come."

With his hands on Xun's back, he walked south.

After walking only for five minutes, he was stopped as he saw Xun point towards the left.

"You only saw her point south, but she told more in words. We need to take that left."

Long Chen followed her without questioning her and finally, after a few minutes, ended up before a bar. Even though he couldn't read the words on the top of the bar, he could see drunk people coming out. The atmosphere and the structure made it evident what kind of place it was.

Pushing the door, Long Chen stepped inside. He walked to the bartender and spoke some words.

Hearing him, Xun grew stunned. How was Long Chen speaking their language now?

After ordering, Long Chen looked back at Xun. He flashed a confident smile. "Surprised that I know this language? I knew it from the start, even before you asked me that question. I just pretended not to know."

Standing in the distance, Long Tian couldn't control his laughter. This guy was really putting on a good show. It wasn't that Long Chen knew this language. Long Tian helped him by telling him what to say. He just recited it and was trying to win some points.

"Is that so? Tell me what that man is saying?" Xun pointed toward a man in the distance who was talking in the Beastian Language.

Long Chen turned to the man before subtly glancing at Long Tian. It was as if he was trying to cheat on an exam.

Since Xun couldn't hear Long Tian, he could help him without being caught.

Long Tian didn't blow his cover either as he played along.

He translated what the man was saying, and Long Chen conveyed that word to word to Xun.

"How did you know this language?" Xun asked, glaring.

"I know many languages. What's so shocking about it?" Long Chen smiled confidently, but his smile disappeared as the door opened again, and a group of people stepped inside.

It was a group of people who all had human bodies, similar to him. However, their pupils were slim. They also had a white robes on their body which had words that Long Chen couldn't read. He could certainly see the crown symbol on the clothes, though.

"Royals?" he muttered.
