"Impressive! Not many would be able to intimidate bandits only by looking at them. Especially with how humbly you are dressing!"
Is this young Sun trying to praise or insult ? He seems pretty good at doing both at once.
"Now we only have one more city to cross before we "
[Wait, we aren't about to arrive at our destination?!]
"It's not that far by now, 1 or 2 weeks should be plenty!"
Does that an at so point we backtracked?
We did run away from the assassins without really looking at where we were going. Right, what happened to these enemies? Will they spring out of nowhere? The rcenary group was their target, chances are I'll be fine. They too should be alright now that they know they are chased by such scary foes. I'm sure the rcenary leader will take the appropriate precautions.
"Just to make sure you do have a permit for your pets right?"
[A what?]
"So in order to enter in the diplomatic city with monsters, one needs to be a registered beast tar. This is to prevent any possible disruption to the peace. Does that an you've never bothered taking the test for that profession?"
[There are tests?! There are professions?! I thought everyone just did whatever they wanted in their own deity's area!]
"Don't tell you've never heard about the league of the 30 righteous sects? What about the 22 great evils? The seven neutral ones? Okay, we have a lot of ground to cover. You see there are many sects in this world. While they are mostly all opposing each other constantly there are so alliances. These only stipulate a few common areas where there are no conflicts between the factions. The diplomatic city is probably one of the most important of these areas. It is headed by one of the 7 neutral sects. They have strict regulations to make sure nothing cos to create any sort of chaos. All are welco beside the evil sects."
[Waityou said they are a neutral sect. Why are they banning people from evil sects from joining then?]
"Too much chaos. There are often shady individuals that do go there but even them try to behave at least a little."
[Gotcha, so it is sort of an unspoken rule that evil sects are welcod, as long as they don't explicitly state their identity, and everyone just plays the fools?]
"Pretty much."
[How can I beco a beast tar then?]
"In the next city we will enter you can take the exam. It should be fairly simple for you seeing how well they are following your orders."
I an it's not really that I tad anyone. More like we are friends and that's why they follow around. As for being a beast tar? I am probably not qualified at the mont. Still, there must be so way to learn about the profession, there right? I have coins so I can get myself a teacher!
[Tell there is so kind of tar guild too.]
"Indeed. They are actually pretty big in this region. After all with how heavily legislated this aspect is, they need professionals to oversee the matter."
Makes sense. You wouldn't want so random civil servant to deal with monsters. You could easily end up missing a few ones after lunchti.
I swear I'll have to research all these pieces of information. For people here that much seems to be common sense. For , it is all new. Then again as long as I walk around with a local to guide everything should be alright. Good thing I have Sun with .
Right, how long should I wait before inviting him to the sect? He seed pretty enthusiastic earlier, but who knows when he will change his mind? I don't want him to feel tricked and to later regret it. What if he joins because of the fact that we have a unicorn then later figures out that she isn't even part of our organization?
Right, talking about that unicorn. How long will she follow us? I guess she was missing Wolfie a lot and can't bear to see her leave. Makes sense. Funny how they seem to have a friendly rivalry going on. I wonder when it all started.
"What made you decide on this particular city travel goal?"
[I heard that there people aren't always trying to kill each other, and I found that pretty cool.]
"Yes, but why didn't you go to any of the other cities that are similar in their inner-workings like "
And then he lists a bunch of city nas I cannot recognize and won't rember for sure. Oh well, the more I learn about this world the more I realize how ignorant I am.
They say knowledge is power, but for now, my main goal will be to learn more ways to use divine energy. After all, it is better if I work on my strengths! Alright, I could use the singular here since that's my only redeeming feature. Well, I am an optimist and always improving, there is that too.
[It is the first one I heard about and I decided to see it for myself.]
"That is unexpectedlynormal."
Well sorry if it's boring! My life is nothing special, but so what! If I keep moving forward, everything will be fine. Even if I keep struggling against weak monsters and running when confronted with strong opponents. My life wasn't ant to entertain anyone in the first place. I'll just live how I want.
"Oh right, is your sect still recruiting?"
He is asking that out of the blue!?
[Yes, why?]
"Oh, I'd like to join."
You know how, in the stories, it is always the devil tempting the mortals to sell their souls away? Well, right now I feel like it is the opposite happening. It is the mortal trying to voluntarily sell his soul to the devil. WaitI'm no devil! I'm a nice guywait no.
[Welco in the sect then!]
"Nice! Actually, there is sothing I need to do before I can leave the current sect I am in. I will et you guys in the diplomatic city later! You do plan to stay there for a long ti right?"
[Of course! Are you sure you need to leave right now?]
"Positive! See you guys later."
On that note, he dashes forward to go do god knows what.
What's with all these side-characters leaving after a few chapters?!
Am I missing sothing here?!
