The Margrave of Kelvast told that it would take about a day to go through the formalities and produce the identity certificate, so I went out to the city with my pockets bagged to buy travel goods.
Wandering around this big city without knowing anything was a bit of a daunting task, so I stabbed the two guards guarding the gate with so silver coins and asked for advice. .
“Kelvast is more expensive than other cities, so eat your heart and go!”
After tasting the power of the great silver coin, we headed towards the city along a well-paved and tidy road, leaving behind them smiling and waving their hands as if seeing off a friend of 10 years.
It was a much busier city than I thought. Unlike the rugged and high outer walls, the interior is so splendid that it is believed to be the capital of the kingdom. It could be more so because it was close to the inner castle, but even so, it was hard to think of it as a city that blocked the orcs from trying to invade every single day.
It was a little precious as it seed to prove that it had not collapsed even once in the long years since the Great Offensive.
If you have this level of ability, you can’t manage it well.
In fact, the ancient gate is not sothing you can do just because you want to manage it, so it was unfair to ask them for their cris, but from the point of view of the victims, wouldn’t you want to hold on to soone and bla others? Winter vacation has suddenly turned into cold weather training, so even if you don’t say it out loud, you will lant it.
Still, thanks to the financial treatnt prescribed by the drivers, I felt a lot better, so I picked up snacks and ate snacks and looked for souvenirs and moved as much as I could while sightseeing. Being angry and annoyed with the situation that ca up is not going to solve it anyway, so it was better to enjoy it as much as possible.
After walking for about 30 minutes, the shops around began to display and sell items that were far from ordinary people. The number of adventurers coming and going also seed to be at least not on the wrong path.
“Huh, it definitely costs more.”
No matter how much Etis-L received all kinds of support from most of the continent’s countries, it was obviously war, so prices weren’t particularly cheap, but here it was more. Orcs spread out like cockroaches right in front of was the reason, but looking at the overall price of all items, it seed that the biggest reason was that the inco of adventurers was good.
I don’t really feel much about snacks, but I can feel the travel equipnt. If it weren’t for the generously giving articles, it would have been a big problem. It could be anything to eat and live, but it is clear that a lot of ti was taken up here and there to pay for travel expenses.
I thanked the idiots who appeared like fate and financed my daily expenses, and I started shopping with peace of mind.
There were many things to buy as I had to do it alone, from moving and exploring, as well as camping and preparing als to the surrounding boundaries. If it had been in my previous life, I would have stayed up all night guarding a bonfire in a situation where no answer ca out, barely fell asleep around dawn, and struggled to get up around lunchti, and it would have been a trip like moving again for a short while. There are many.
Right now, the bonfire is solved in one queue through the portable magic stone stove. On top of that, if you have to carry firewood or pick up wood at a campsite, you can cover it with light and small magic stones, so your luggage becos lighter and you save ti.
Not only can you cook lightly by adjusting the firepower, but you can also use it as a lantern, so it is a level that can be said to be a cheat key for adventurers only.
“You look at custors very well, but do you have money? That’s expensive.”
“How old are you?”
“Two gold coins.”
One travel tool is a 1/2 Kelvast Knight! However, it was an acceptable price, so I shut up, paid the price, and bought an additional magic stone. But thanks to the drivers, I’m glad I didn’t have to worry about currency exchange.
Perhaps thanks to paying the price without hesitation, the shopkeeper brought out a variety of good items and offered discounts, but among them, the necessary items were a luminous stone that glows brightly for a short ti and a small shovel the size of a field shovel, so I didn’t get that much of a discount.
“You’re a mysterious guest. You have eyes to see and money, but things are the first ti you’ve been on the road. Where did you go into the wrong dungeon and blow it away?”
“The equipnt blew away. Things are still intact in Etisel.”
“Its L? It’s too far to co here after blowing up equipnt from there?”
“They ca all at once because they rode the old gate.”
It was purely interest-oriented, rather than asking a pretty sharp question, so when I told the truth, the shopkeeper, who laughed and took it as a joke, praised my wit and reduced the price by three silver coins. Judging from the fact that I was leaving the store behind , saying that I was failing and living, it seems that I thought it was because I ate in the dungeon and threw a joke out of pride.
Surprisingly, such an illusion was not unique to the first shop owner. When buying bags, food, and winter coats, people made the sa mistake and sympathized with , and I suddenly received pleasant sympathy and bought the things I wanted at a little bit cheaper.
It was a really desirable delusion and misunderstanding. It was good because it was .
Feeling such warm affection from Kelvast, the blacksmith at the blacksmith who entered the smithy for the last ti to repair the armor looked at holding this and that and the equipnt, then wrinkled his nose and asked,
“Are you leaving for the steppe?”
“No. We’re going inland.”
“In that case, we might as well just rest in the city for a while.”
The people of Kelvast must be kind, but the blacksmith eagerly continued to give advice while examining my leather breastplate.
“I don’t seem to know the situation behind the scenes because I’m dealing with the orcs, but the kingdoms aren’t good right now. The territories that are attached to each other tend to go to war often, so if sothing goes wrong, it’s a situation where there’s a fire. If we get to the city safely, there will be no problem, but if we run into anything along the way, I can’t guarantee that good things will co and go.”
what? This isn’t a farce, it’s a really important story, isn’t it?
“I don’t an to doubt it, but the atmosphere in Kelvast is too good for that?”
“Of course it has to be. Kelvast doesn’t get any disadvantages no matter how many kingdoms fight a hundred tis a thousand tis. The seams are a bit damaged, so I think it’s better to fix them. Do you want to fix them?”
“Ah, yes. Please.”
It was not difficult to guess that Kelvast was also supported by playing the role of Orc-blocking, just as Etis-L received support as a demon ward. The blacksmith continued to speak even as he looked at all the strange things.
“You must be a person from the kingdom. Due to the Orc offensive in the past, the people of the Western Kingdom are morbidly wary of the Orcs. This is why no kingdom will fight, even though it is an affluent city that is not envious of the Empire.”
It belongs to the kingdom, but it feels like a kind of neutral city. It was funny that the orcs were fighting with each other happily while blocking the threat of the orcs, but I let it go.
“Still, isn’t it lawless outside the territory? Is that protected?”
“It doesn’t work on guys like thieves. But those who have an idea tend to just let it go even if they’re holding a docunt with the lord’s seal on it. That’s why the shock of the Great Offensive was great.”
For a mont, I wondered if the Margrave of Kelvast didn’t speak on purpose to sway , but it seed that he didn’t take it seriously because he had confidence based on universal consciousness. The horse is a Margrave, there is no King.
I didn’t even have to explain the reason why I had to go inland to people I wouldn’t see today anyway, so I left the smithy with a tip. Not only the information, but also the skills were good enough. The armor that had been repaired was satisfactory enough.
“I don’t think the way back will be smooth either.”
Obviously, new incidents do not occur every ti I go… but I am not at all relieved as I continue to be involved in incidents that have already occurred.
Eventually, on the way back to the castle, I stopped at a magic tool shop and bought an additional security device. When activated, it recognizes living beings approaching within a certain range and vibrates, but it vibrates even if a small bird flies in, and it is a thing that has been constantly requested for a magic stone for maintenance, so after cursing that it is a truly stupid invention, it was erased from my mind.
Originally, I had intended to end up making simple booby traps out of thick thread and small bells, but if looting is so rampant that even the city’s blacksmith warns, it’s better to anticipate such traps and be mindful of the possibility of dealing with the sneaky guys who approach.
After all, it is not easy to travel alone in a world where all kinds of hostile creatures exist.
