Greenwood city huh!
Looking froward Gray can see a wide stone road and few horse Carriages and many small buildings made of stone and wood on both sides of the road. Few pedestrians were entering and exiting some buildings which look like shops.
After entering the city Gray's next plan is to gather information and then find a way to learn how to read the local language.
I think here the best method to gather information will be a bar or something like that where a lot of people converses.
Thinking this Gray started walking, after walking about 15 minutes finally he can see a building that had a signboard that looked like a pub. But still, he didn't enter it directly but went a little farther and ask a person on the road who had a small vegetable stall beside the road.
This sir can you please tell me where I find a place to eat and drink some wine.
Seeing Gray who looked like a beggar, the stall owner was full of disdain but he still pointed at the shop Gray previously identified as a pub and said with a mocking tone, that is the mir's bar but be careful Mr. Mir is a junior knight if you don't have money he will break your legs.
Hearing this mocking tone Gray was not angry because he really looked like a homeless man. but Gray still have 10 gold coin and almost 50 silver coin from before. although he doesn't know what is the exact value of these coins but from the look of that guard at the door, Gray can guess that a silver coin has a high value.
After leaving the stall Gray entered the bar. After entering Gray can see many people eating, drinking, and talking to each other. Gray went straight to the counter and after finding a waiter
He asked her if she can give him some information and before she can say anything he took out a silver coin.
Seeing that although Gray looks like a Beggar but don't lack money she immediately flashed a charming smile on her face and said of-course ask anything if I know I will tell everything but you have to give one silver coin every 3 questions.
Hearing this Gray was a little excited because this the first time he can get some real information about his world. and then he started to tell her some story how he was abandoned when he was a baby and a kind man saved him and raised him and until now he was living a secluded life and now he came out after his adopted father's death and he doesn't know anything about this world because his father never taught him anything he always told him the outside world is very bad he should never go out. But he could not suppress his curiosity anymore and finally came out of the mountain and this is the first time he is meeting other peoples.
Hearing this the waiter was full of suspicion but after looking at Gray's clothes and face she somewhat believed him.
But Gray didn't care about her thoughts he told her all this just so the questions he was about to ask her don't seem too strange to her.
Ok, can you tell me what are knights and how can I become one? Gray wanted to know this very much. After asking this question Gray ordered the AI chip to record all this.
Hearing this question the waiter smiled and told that Knight is an extremely powerful group of people, they have a very high position in any family. I even heard that the king of our country is a Grand knight.
And the question of how to become a knight, you can become a junior knight just buy eating monster meat and excising but to become a high-level knight you have to join a Noble family or the army and there they will give you a breathing manual as rewards after big contributions then you can become a high-level Knight.
Hearing all this Gray had a look of understanding, first, those over-sized animals are called monsters. secondly, although her information is not detailed but now Gray knows how to become a knight. But suddenly he cheered up because he remembers he has some sort of a top-level breathing manual called Warrior's breathing manual.
Then again Gray asked is there someone more powerful than a Grand knight?
Hearing this question the waiter answered, of course, although not many people know this but I heard people talking here that the royal family has someone mysterious force called a Magus, They can control flame and thunder and they can live as long as the sky.
Hearing this Gray was shocked, although he expected something like this but still hearing this he can't help but become very excited. If he can become a Magus and live forever then he will be able to discover all the mysteries of this universe.
Isn't this the life I am always seeking? On earth, no one can live for even that's why I wanted to make my name eternal in history books but in this new world I can become eternal. Gray made up his mind, no matter what I will become a Magus no matter the cost.
After coming down Gray looked at the waiter and asked her with a little bit of expectation, Do you know How to become a Magus?
Hearing this the waiter smiled and said I think in this whole country only the royal family can answer this question.
After hearing this Gray knew he was expecting too much from a waiter in a small town. So he asked the next question is there a library or book shop in this Town.
This time she quickly answered, Yes there is a bookshop in the center of the town as for the library there is one but that is in the City lord's house you can visit it if you are a noble or a knight.
OK, this is my last question what is the currency here and how they are valued?
Hearing this the waiter again looked at Gay with a little suspension but still answered
First, there is Copper coin then 100 copper coin = 1 silver coin, and 100 silver coin = 1 Gold Coin.
After learning about this Gray gave the waiter two silver coins and ordered some food, after eating Gray went to the Bookshop.
Although I really want to visit the city lord's library but it looks like that is not possible until I become a knight. as far as I know from those people at the jungle they were Senior knights and all of them had more than 3 attributes in all aspects. I think I am already a junior knight level but still, I should buy some books from the shop for now to confirm this.
When Gray was thinking this he already came to the city square and after looking around for few minutes he found the book shop but before that he found a cloth shop so he bought a new set of good quality local cloth which was a black long neck jacket and a brown pant he also found out only nobles and knights can wear white in this kingdom.
After getting dressed up he walks into the book shop, there was an old man who was cleaning the bookshelf with a father broom after seeing Gray he came to him asked what kind of book he is looking for.
I want to buy those books which are about language, geography, knights and if possible a book about Magus.
After hearing Gray's request the old man was surprised but he quickly recovered and said- Young man looks like you are not from around here, let me tell you something book about Magus extremely rear only in a big auction in the capital city you can find something like that. And also I don't have any book about Geography, for that you have to go to the City lord's Library and as for Knights and language I have many books. I even have a book about the adventure of a Grand Knight but it's cost is sky-high.
Gray expected something like this might happen so he was not disappointed after hearing about the news of Magus but he was rather surprised that this small town shop has a book about a Grand knight. So he immediately asks the price of that Book.
Hearing Gray's inquiry the Old man said with a more amiable smile,
50 Silver coin and with the book of the introduction of the local language it is only 55 silver coins.
After hearing this Gray was not moved because no matter how much it costs it is very important knowledge for him and this is not his money in the first place.
After paying the money Gray took the books and quickly left this place because he didn't what to became some thief's target.
After leaving the book shop he asked few people and found an inn and directly booked a room for 7 days because he is not planning on leaving this place anytime soon at-list not before getting into the city lord's library.
After getting into his room Gray closed the door and after sitting on the bed he opened the book of language and stored all the data on the AI chip. Which took him about 10 minutes and then he ordered the AI chip to decode this language.
"Beep analyzing data from the newly entered data"
"Beep Decoding successful, transferring data to host brain"
After that AI chip transferred all the data about the local language to Gray's brain He felt dizzy for a few seconds.
After that, he opened the book about the Grand Knight's Adventure, and now Gray can read every single word.
